Chapter 953: Encountering the Evil Cultivator Again
"Gu Man, you will be in Hai City from now on. You must come back to F City to meet us when you have time!" Mrs. Hao said.
"That's for sure," Gu Man replied. Even if she didn't go back often, she would go back occasionally.
"Since Gu Man will be in Hai City from now on, then when we come to Hai City next time, Gu Man will take care of our food, accommodation and transportation. What do you think?" Mrs. Lu said.
"That's no problem. If you want to come, just come." Gu Man said, not minding at all. Not to mention that they all have enough money, even if the conditions are average, true friends, will they still care about these things? If you have money, you can play better, if you don't have money, you can just play ordinary.
The women were chatting animatedly. Jiang Xu and Gu Qingyang, the two grown men, couldn't get a word in, but they did have their own topics to talk about.
During the chat, Jiang Xu learned that something had happened recently in Gu Qingyang's unit. Gu Qingyang's unit was the Investment and Commerce Bureau. Because of a problem with an investment project led by one of their team members, it could not be carried out.
But their leader had accepted bribes from the other party before. Because things couldn't be done, the other party asked the leader to return the bribe money, but that leader could no longer pay, so our group was affected and it was very likely that someone would be pushed out to take the blame.
Although the matter has not been decided yet, Gu Qingyang is still in danger.
Jiang Xu said that Gu Ning had such a wide network of contacts, why not tell Gu Ning and ask her for help.
Gu Qingyang also had this idea, but he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud. He felt it was a bit embarrassing for an elder to ask a younger person for help.
Jiang Xu said that reputation and work are important, and why should we care about face when we are with our family! If things are settled, it will be too late. It's not that Gu Ning can't help, but by then there will be suspicion that Gu Ning is bullying others, which will be bad for Gu Ning's reputation.
After hearing this, Gu Qingyang decided to go back and tell Gu Ning, asking her to help him.
If he was really blamed, his reputation would be gone, his job would be lost, how would he support his family? Just a few minutes after the meal started, Gu Ning received a call from Chu Peihan, saying that they had arrived at the airport.
Chu Peihan and his group's flight was at 7:30, and the flight would take three hours, so they would arrive around 9:30.
Leng Shaoting and his group arrived at about the same time as Chu Peihan and his group, half an hour earlier than them, at nine o'clock.
Why them? Because Xing Bei was with Leng Shaoting.
Because Xing Bei and Cao Wenxin are a couple, and it is Cao Wenxin's uncle's wedding, he naturally has to come.
After dinner, Gu Ning arranged for Mrs. Hao and the others to rest in the hotel. Gu Ning booked a three-person presidential suite for Mrs. Hao and the other two, so that they would not be bored when they were together.
Then, everyone returned to "Washington Landscape" together.
After Gu Ning sent Gu Man and others to "Washington Landscape", he prepared to go to the airport to pick them up.
This time, Gu Ning drove his own car, Cao Wenxin also drove her own car, and Qiao Ya drove a business car because there were so many people, so a large car was needed to accommodate them.
Gao Yi stayed at home.
At 8:50, Gu Ning and his companions arrived at the airport and waited outside the pick-up gate.
About ten minutes later, Gu Ning suddenly felt a negative energy approaching. He narrowed his eyes and immediately looked in the direction where the negative energy came from, and it landed on a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's aura and face were extremely gloomy, and his hair was graying. Because he exuded a gloomy aura, there was no need to guess that this person was an evil cultivator.
Why did this evil cultivator come to Hai City?
But now that I have encountered it, I naturally have to figure it out.
"You guys wait for them here. I have to leave for something. If Shao Ting and Xing Bei arrive and I don't come back, Sister Wen Xin will take them away directly, and Qiao Ya will continue to wait for Chu Peihan and the others." Gu Ning arranged.
"Yes." Qiao Ya didn't ask any more questions, but Cao Wenxin asked worriedly, "Ningning, what happened?"
Because anything that made Gu Ning leave in a hurry must be important, so he was very worried.
"I saw someone who injured my friend, so I followed him to take a look." Gu Ning said, and left immediately without saying anything else.
Although Cao Wenxin was worried, seeing how anxious Gu Ning was, she didn't ask too many questions so as not to delay her work.
Gu Ning followed the evil cultivator not too far away, walked out of the exit and went towards a black car. There was a man standing in front of the black car. When he saw the evil cultivator coming, he gave him the car keys. Then the evil cultivator got into the driver's seat and drove away.
The person who gave the evil cultivator the key got into another car and left.
It just so happened that Gu Ning's car was parked not far in front of them, so Gu Ning immediately got in the car and drove after them.
Because the other party was an evil cultivator, his senses were naturally super strong. So Gu Ning was worried that he would be discovered, so he didn't dare to get close. Instead, he followed from a distance and just needed to see the direction they were going.
The person who gave Xie Xiu the car keys went in another direction, and Xie Xiu himself went in another direction.
Ten minutes after Gu Ning left, around 9:7 or 9:00, Leng Shaoting and Xing Bei arrived. As soon as they came out, they saw Cao Wenxin and Qiao Ya, but not Gu Ning. Leng Shaoting couldn't help but frown. He looked around again, but still didn't see Gu Ning. He was a little disappointed. Didn't Ning Ning say she would come to pick him up? But where was she!
"Well, brother-in-law, Ningning suddenly left for something just now. She said that if she hasn't come back when you arrive, let me take you back directly." Cao Wenxin said it immediately without waiting for Leng Shaoting to ask, for fear that Leng Shaoting would be unhappy. When Leng Shaoting was unhappy, his coldness still made her feel uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with her?" Hearing this, Leng Shaoting immediately became worried.
"He said he met someone who hurt his friend," said Cao Wenxin.
Leng Shaoting didn't know who it was, but he knew that since Gu Ning could leave without him, he must have left, so he didn't feel unhappy at all.
"How about you give her a call?" Cao Wenxin suggested.
"No, it will disturb her." Leng Shaoting refused. Since Gu Ning was busy, if he called her, it would disturb her and it would be bad if he delayed her work.
Then, Leng Shaoting and Xing Bei followed Cao Wenxin and left first, and Qiao Ya continued to wait for Chu Peihan and the others.
Gu Ning was still following the evil cultivator's car, which was going further and further off the track, and finally arrived at an unfinished villa area halfway up a mountain in the suburbs.
Outside the villa area is a main road, surrounded by mountains. Although there are street lights on the main road and there are occasional vehicles passing by, when you look towards the villa area, it is pitch black and there is a gloomy atmosphere.
