Chapter 158 Why do I want to punish you?
If it were before, Gu Ning might not believe it, but she saw it with her own eyes, so she would believe it naturally.
Now Gu Ning was almost certain that the ancient artifacts in the cave were the property that Liu Jiang, the governor of a certain state, took away when he escaped.
At this time, Gu Ning's phone rang. It was Qin Yifan calling, so Gu Ning didn't want to answer it.
It would be a lie to say that her mood was not affected by Qin Yiqing's matter, and it was even more impossible for her not to be angry at Qin Yifan.
But after thinking about it, I felt it would be better to explain the matter clearly, so I answered: “Hello!”
As soon as he heard Gu Ning's voice, Qin Yifan hurriedly apologized: "Gu Ning, I am Qin Yifan. I apologize to you for what my sister did. I'm sorry."
"Okay, I accept your apology." It's not that Gu Ning is generous, but he feels that he will not have any contact with Qin Yiqiang in the future anyway, so there is no point in making a fuss about it.
"Thank you," Qin Yifan thanked him, "Actually, this is also my responsibility. If it weren't for me..."
At this point, Qin Yifan suddenly paused. He became nervous and a little conflicted about whether he should say it out loud or tell Gu Ning that he liked her.
He was also afraid of being rejected and that he wouldn't even be able to be friends with them afterwards.
But after what happened, if he didn't say anything, he might have missed his chance.
Also, if I confess my feelings over the phone, won’t it seem like I don’t care?
Thinking of this, Qin Yifan wanted to ask Gu Ning out first: "Um, Gu Ning, I have something to tell you, can you come out for a moment?"
"If you have anything to say, just talk on the phone!" Gu Ning probably guessed what Qin Yifan wanted to say. Although she didn't want him to say it, lest it cause embarrassment, she couldn't stop him if he didn't say it and she felt good about herself.
After Gu Ning said this, Qin Yifan had no choice but to talk on the phone.
"I am also responsible for what happened this time. If I hadn't said I liked you, this wouldn't have happened. My sister is a strong and snobbish person who wants to get involved in everything. However, I am different from her. I am strong at work, but I am neither strong nor snobbish in life. Also, I really like you, Gu Ning, can you give me a chance?"
Sure enough, she guessed correctly, Qin Yifan would confess his feelings.
However, Gu Ning didn't feel anything about Qin Yifan's confession.
Perhaps, this is what it means when someone you don't like confesses to you, and you can't feel happy!
"I'm sorry, I think we are more suitable to be friends." Gu Ning said this, which meant he refused.
Although he guessed that this might be the result, Qin Yifan still couldn't accept it. His chest felt like it was stabbed by a knife. It hurt so much.
This is the feeling of heartache!
Gu Ning was the first girl he had a crush on, so Qin Yifan asked without giving up, "Really, is there really no chance? If it's because of something I did wrong, tell me and I can change it."
"No," Gu Ning responded decisively, "No matter where the facial features are done well or not, good or bad, they are not as important as the feeling. Without feeling, no matter how perfect it is, it's the same to me."
On the other side, Qin Yifan couldn't help but stagger back a few steps. Surprisingly, he didn't have any chance at all.
Also, she didn't have any feelings for herself at all.
Although Qin Yifan was very sad, he was not the kind of person who would pester others. Since Gu Ning had said it so bluntly, he could not continue to pester her and make things difficult for her.
"No, it's okay. Well, sorry to bother you. Goodbye." After Qin Yifan said this, he immediately hung up the phone, looking distraught and at a loss.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ning stared blankly at the computer screen, feeling a little complicated.
She knew that Qin Yifan would be in a bad mood after being rejected, but she couldn't comfort him because if she comforted him, it would be equivalent to giving him hope. She preferred to be decisive, even if it was a bit cruel.
Although she didn't lose faith in love because she was betrayed by a man in her previous life, love is about feelings. She didn't have any feelings between men and women towards Qin Yifan, she just regarded him as a pure friend.
She also didn't know what kind of man she would have feelings for.
As he was thinking, Gu Ning unknowingly fell into fantasy. Then, Leng Shaoting's stern face appeared in his mind, and he was so scared that he immediately came back to his senses, his heart beating wildly.
What's going on? Could it be that she has feelings for Leng Shaoting? Although she is not sure, she does have a good impression of Leng Shaoting.
Gu Ning is not a person who avoids feelings. Since she is not sure, she will explore it. She doesn't like this feeling of being ambiguous and not being.
Of course, if she likes someone, she won't force it if the other person doesn't like her.
Gu Ning took out his cell phone and called Leng Shaoting, but the phone was turned off.
There was no need to guess, Gu Ning also knew that Leng Shaoting was carrying out a mission.
Yes, Leng Shaoting is on a mission.
The setting sun left behind long shadows, a blood-red color.
In a mountainous area far away from the city, on a bumpy dirt road, a black Hummer, regardless of the terrain, continued to move forward with violent shaking and the roar of its engine.
In the car, Xu Jingchen was driving, Leng Shaoting was sitting in the passenger seat, and there were two young men sitting in the back seat.
"Boss, this road is too difficult to drive on! After such a round trip, the car will definitely be scrapped." Xu Jingchen complained unhappily. For car lovers, even if they don't lack for a car, they will still feel sorry for it!
Leng Shaoting ignored him and stared quietly at the positioning monitor in his hand.
"Tenth Brother, is the mission more important than the car?" A man behind him teased. He is Leng Shaoting's subordinate, ranked fifth, Xing Bei.
Xu Jingchen ranks tenth among Leng Shaoting's eleven elite subordinates, and the ranking is based on age.
"Old Five, you know that Old Ten is a car lover. If possible, he would rather get hurt himself than see the car damaged. If he doesn't have a choice." Another man, Old Seven Siming, also teased.
"I feel like the boss is deliberately making things difficult for me. He knows that this kind of situation will make me uncomfortable, but he still insists on having me do it. It's not like they can't do without me." Xu Jingchen continued to complain, feeling extremely resentful.
"Why does the boss want to mess with you?" asked the fifth brother Xing Bei.
Before Xu Jingchen could speak, Leng Shaoting spoke in a cold voice: "Drive the car into the woods, stop, and then go up the mountain."
After Leng Shaoting's words came out, everyone stopped talking nonsense and became serious.
Xu Jingchen immediately turned the steering wheel, turned, drove the car into the woods, stopped behind some hidden trees, and then quickly got out of the car.
