Chapter 1999: Better safe than sorry
Although the two are not from the same company, after two collaborations, their relationship is very good. At least in the circle, they can be considered true friends.
Han Lengxuan also thought this was possible, and he also wanted to help Bai Ling, but he happened to have a dinner party today and couldn't leave.
"Why don't you call Miss Gu and talk to her. I think Miss Gu can help you. Don't feel embarrassed. It's better to be safe than sorry." Han Lengxuan said.
Bai Ling thought that Gu Ning was in class, so he sent her a text message, hoping that she would see it as soon as possible.
Bai Ling directly told the situation today. Since Bai Ling was just guessing and was not sure it was the case, he just said it was just his guess.
When Gu Ning received Bai Ling's text message, he had just walked to the back door and was about to take a taxi to leave.
And because she drove to the company last time, in order to avoid being followed by cultivators, she left her car at the company, so she had to take a taxi.
And because he knew that there were cultivators watching outside the school gate, Gu Ning left through the back door.
Seeing the content of the text message sent by Bai Ling, Gu Ning's face darkened slightly, and then he immediately called her.
If it were Gu Ning, he would also suspect a conspiracy.
The phone rang once and Bai Ling answered it. She didn't expect Gu Ning to see the text message and call her so quickly. Bai Ling's voice trembled with excitement: "Ms. Gu..."
"Where are you eating tonight? Which private room?" Gu Ning asked.
When Bai Ling heard this, he knew that Gu Ning was going to help him. He was extremely grateful and immediately said, "In the DC area, Royal Court Hotel, VIP Room 08 on the fourth floor."
"Well! Don't worry! I'll go and book a room in the private room next door. If anything really happens, I'll be there immediately." Gu Ning said.
"You, are you going there in person? Wouldn't that be a bad idea? And that's just my guess. I don't know if I'm overthinking it." Bai Bailing felt flattered and embarrassed when she heard that. She was afraid that she was overthinking the plan and that Gu Ning had made a wasted trip.
Her original intention was to ask Gu Ning for help, hoping that she would arrange someone to keep an eye on her so that they could help her if they saw her in trouble. However, she didn't expect that Gu Ning would come by herself.
"It's okay. It's better to be safe than sorry. Besides, I just happened to have an appointment with some friends for dinner today. It doesn't matter where we go to eat! Since you've encountered this problem, there's nothing wrong with us eating there." Gu Ning said nonchalantly. She didn't lie. She had made an appointment with Zi Beiying to have dinner together, but they hadn't decided what to eat yet.
"Thank you very much, Miss Gu." Although Bai Ling felt embarrassed, as Gu Ning said, it is better to be safe than sorry. It is not the best if it is not true, but if it is true, she would feel more at ease if someone is watching her.
"It's okay," Gu Ning said, because Bai Ling was an artist signed by her company, otherwise, she wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
Then, Gu Ning called Zi Beiying and told her that he was going to the Royal Court Hotel in DC area. He also told Zi Beiying the reason why he was going to the Royal Court Hotel.
Gu Ning said that one of her friends was invited to attend the Hongmen Banquet at the Royal Court Hotel, and there might be a conspiracy, so she needed to go there to save the situation. So they had to book the dinner at the Royal Court Hotel, in the private room next to theirs, so that if something really happened, they could take action.
Hearing this, Zi Beiying naturally expressed her understanding and agreed.
But while I understand, I'm also very curious.
"If I arrive first, how about I help you keep an eye on things?" Zi Beiying said. Although she was helping Gu Ning, she herself was eager to try, and it was obvious that she was interested in it.
Although "OK" was not necessary, Gu Ning still agreed. He didn't want to refuse her kindness. Besides, Zi Beiying and the others knew their limits and would not alert the enemy.
Afterwards, Gu Ning booked a private room at the Imperial Court Hotel. Since it was still early, he booked the room next to Bai Ling and his friends' private room.
After arranging all this, Gu Ning sent a text message to Zi Beiying, told her the room number, and then took a taxi to the Royal Court Hotel.
Because Gu Ning started from Haicheng District, it took him an hour to reach the Royal Court Hotel.
It's almost five o'clock now, and when we get to the Royal Court Hotel, it will be exactly six o'clock.
Zi Beiying, Mengda and Anan arrived at 5:40, but they had not ordered any food yet and were paying attention to the movements in the private room next door.
Although they cannot see what is going on inside, they will still be able to hear if there is any abnormal movement.
The people in the private room next door all arrived at 5:50. Most restaurants have meeting times of 6 o'clock, so almost everyone arrives early.
But for the time being, they haven't found anything wrong.
In fact, nothing would happen at this time. If anything happened, it would be after dinner. Zi Beiying was just too impatient.
When Gu Ning approached the private room, he also looked into the room where Bai Ling was.
There were seven people in the private room, Bai Ling and her agent. Among the other five people, one was a woman, and the other four were men, and all of them were over 40 years old.
The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and was very beautiful. When she was talking to a middle-aged man, she was very flattering, and the man was amused and laughed.
Bai Ling was spoken to by another man. The man looked at Bai Ling with lustful eyes, but Bai Ling, on the other hand, was polite and distant.
But in fact! She was extremely disgusted in her heart, because she clearly saw the other party's purpose. If it was a formal dinner and a formal conversation, she would definitely be polite and enthusiastic from the bottom of her heart.
But even though she knew the other party had other intentions, she still had to deal with him politely. Otherwise, if she angered him and he did something to her, that would be bad. She didn't know if Gu Ning had arrived yet.
But the time should have come! When Gu Ning saw the situation inside, he was sure that this dinner was definitely a Hongmen Banquet.
But before the other party did anything to Bai Ling, she would not take action, so she went to the private room she had reserved. However, Gu Ning still sent a text message to Bai Ling first to reassure her.
Bai Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief when he received and saw Gu Ning's text message.
When Gu Ning came to the private room, Zi Beiying said, "Gu Ning, we haven't found anything wrong yet."
"It's okay. If you need to move, you'll only move when you're eating." Gu Ning said, then sat down.
Then it’s time to order food.
