My Wife Slaps People in the Face Online Daily

On Jijing Island, everyone’s movements were restricted.

The professors from the medical organization even knew where Gu Yin had gone yesterday. Kang Qi thought that Gu Yin would stay over at the Bai’s last night, but she had come in the Gu family’s car.

The Gu family’s car drove into the Academic Center Hall. They sent Gu Yin to the competition.

At the moment, Kang Qi was delighted that he did not have to drive Gu Yin out of the medical organization because of the incident with Master Bi. Those who had been to Jijing Island a few times before and were of some age knew a thing or two about the Gu family.

Although the Gu family was not prestigious, the higher ups always looked after them.

However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Commoners like them would never reach the Gu family’s status.

Everyone stared blankly as Gu Yin said something to the driver. The driver lowered his head. When Gu Yin had finished speaking, the chauffeur bowed and turned to get into the car.

The Gu family’s car drove out of the Academic Center Hall while everyone watched.

Gu Yin turned sideways and raised her chin slightly as she walked up the stairs unhurriedly as she stared straight ahead.

She walked until she reached Gu Mang, then she smiled warmly and asked, “Sis, Grandpa wanted me to ask you when you would return to the Gu Manor.”

When Yang Tianming heard the words ‘Gu Manor,’ his hands trembled uncontrollably. The memory of the Head Elder’s attitude towards Gu Mang yesterday came to mind.

Gu Mang and Gu Yin were both young ladies of the Gu family.

Gu Mang was texting. When she heard what Gu Yin said, a cold glow appeared in her eyes.

Since she had come to Jijing Island…

First, she showed up at the Elders’ Association. She treated her respectfully in front of the Academic Center Hall and the Leng family. Then, she told everyone her identity.

Now, there was what Gu Yin had said. By the end of today, all the families, either big or small, would know her identity.

Everyone would label her as a member of the ‘Gu family of Jijing Island’.

Gu Mang locked her phone and stuck her hands in her pocket.

Everyone watched as Gu Mang slowly looked up. Her eyes were dark and cold, and there was hostility in them.

When she smiled, there was an overpowering, wild look in her eyes. “Gu Yin, why are the people that you give attention to those that I can’t even bother to look at?”

Gu Yin froze suddenly, her smile still half formed on her face. It were as if a knife had cut away the self-esteem that she had always maintained. She stared at Gu Mang.

At the moment, the looks on the medical organization professors’ faces were really awkward too.

Gu Mang had chosen Capital University over the medical organization. In the end, the medical organization settled on Gu Yin.

After Gu Mang finished speaking, an ambiguous smile appeared on her face and she turned to walk into the Academic Center Hall. She gave off a cold and obnoxious aura.

…

Gu Yin forwarded Gu Mang’s response word for word to the Gu family.

Old Master Gu stood in front of his manor’s French windows with his hands together behind his back. “She has changed. With the protection of Lu Chengzhou, she doesn’t even take me seriously anymore.”

The butler was just beside him. He spoke cautiously. “Give Young Lady some time. She will soon realize that the Gu family is the best choice.”

Old Master Gu looked out at the garden. There was a meaningful look in his eyes. “We can’t be her best choice. We must be her only choice.”

…

On the other side.

Lu Chengzhou had just finished dealing with the matters regarding the black market.

“Is there any news from Lu Si?” He poured himself some tea.

Qin Fang shook his head. “Nope. That base is rather mysterious. Until now, we didn’t even know where it was located. They must have blocked all the external signals.”

They knew that this investigation would be difficult.

He Yidu said, “I have some news here. A group of juniors from a family clan went missing on Jijing Island a while ago. It was said that something happened to them when they were in the hands of the Gu family. Afterwards, the Gu family fell from grace and we still aren’t sure if this was the reason for the family’s fall.”

Lu Chengzhou drank some tea. He had his legs crossed and he leaned back in his chair lazily. “Check the name list of those who disappeared.”

He Yidu nodded. “Noted.”

They all got up and left. Lu Chengzhou was the only person left in the office.

The man looked down and moved his fingers around the teacup’s rim as he thought about something. After a few seconds, he picked up his phone and called the Blood Institute. His call was picked up when he had just finished his tea.

Director Qian answered respectfully, “Young Master Lu.”

Lu Chengzhou responded with a hum. “Are the composition results for Qingsu out yet?”

Leng Xuan had come to the capital in person to buy this medical herb at such a high price. It had to be very effective. So, he got the Blood Institute to check the composition.

Director Qian went silent for two seconds before answering hesitantly, “Currently, we have compared two components and none of them have anything to do with blood issue.”

Lu Chengzhou frowned and did not speak.

Despite speaking through the phone, Director Qian had difficulty breathing. He got nervous instantly. “There is still one last component. The lab is still retrieving a control sample.”

Silence ensued. Director Qian did not even dare to sigh aloud.

After a while, Lu Chengzhou said in a low and deep voice, “Let me know immediately when the results are out.”

Director Qian’s voice was a little shaky. “Alright.”

Lu Chengzhou hung up and wrapped his hand around the phone tightly. He tapped on the armrest of the sofa once in a while.

Suddenly, the door to the office opened.

Lu Chengzhou looked up and saw Ye Junci standing at the entrance. At the moment, his well-maintained face looked really cold.

Lu Yī bowed. “Young Master Lu, Madam Ye insisted on meeting you. We could not stop her.”

Lu Chengzhou looked away and answered calmly, “Leave.”

Lu Yī left and shut the door.

Ye Junci walked over to Lu Chengzhou in heels and sat down. She seemed to be holding her anger back as she did not speak for a moment.

Lu Chengzhou poured some tea and pushed a cup over to her. He did not speak either.

After staring at him for a few seconds, Ye Junci took a deep breath and picked up the teacup. She finished it in one go and knocked the teacup on the coffee table, creating a loud sound.

“So Gu Mang is a young lady of the Gu family?” Ye Junci asked. Her tone was icy cold.

Lu Chengzhou responded with a calm hum.

“Y-You!” Ye Junci didn’t know what to say about him. She suddenly recalled Huo Zhi going to Mingyu Island and she asked again, “So Gu Si is a young master of the Gu family and he’s in Red Flame now?”

Lu Chengzhou did not give her an answer. He refilled her teacup.

Ye Junci finished it in one go again and she had not yet calmed down. “Why did you get involved with the Gu family?”

Lu Chengzhou looked up at her. “Gu Mang is Gu Mang. The Gu family is the Gu family. They are not related.”

“Not related?” Ye Junci’s eyes widened. “Gu Mang and Gu Si are the Gu family’s only hopes of making a turnaround. They are also the Elders’ Association’s favorite. Do you think they will allow Gu Mang to have no relations with them?”

Lu Chengzhou laughed with a rather ruthless look on his face. “Who dares to mess with someone who belongs to me?”

Ye Junci glared at him. After a while, she sighed. “You might not know this but like you, Gu Mang and Gu Si need Leng Xuan’s medicine.”

Lu Chengzhou did not respond.

Ye Junci frowned. “Did you know this already?”

He still did not respond.

Ye Junci suddenly realized something and she laughed helplessly. “In the early years, you didn’t take your life seriously while you tried to expand the power of Red Flame. When the Blood Institute’s experiment failed twice, you called for it to stop. The way you dealt with things was reckless and out of control.”

Lu Chengzhou tapped his fingers on the sofa armrest. Only Ye Junci was talking.

“When you suddenly restarted the research project and intended to take action against the Elders’ Association, I thought it was for yourself.” Ye Junci pursed her lips. “Turns out, it was for Gu Mang.”
