Chapter 372: Your Big Boss...
Whoever she trained accomplished their missions perfectly.
Red Flame’s intelligence network was very powerful. They received the news live as it happened and they also asked her for mission training.
She did not accept it.
The Shadow League was not as skillful as Red Flame at that time, so facing Red Flame head on would not have been wise. If she went after Red Flame, it would be equivalent of crossing the Rubicon.
Red Flame knew how to play. After she rejected them, they did not say anything and on the surface they seemed to have given up. Yet deep down, they set up traps for her to fall into.
Someone posted a billion dollar reward for a mission and asked her to get rid of a person. She checked it out with the Shadow League’s intelligence network and made sure there was nothing wrong before accepting the offer.
Yet, it turned out to be a setup.
As soon as she sobered up, she went to Red Flame’s Law Enforcement Hall. The Hall Master Xingzhi and several elders of the Law Enforcement Hall saw great potential in her.
Even after being beaten up and breaking several bones she did not cry out. Then they also inject various chemicals to torture her into confessing, and they gave her drugs that damaged the nervous system as well. The pain felt like all her bones were being crushed.
But she did not talk.
She thought she could hold on until someone came to rescue her but Red Flame’s Intelligence Network was too powerful and had hidden the location well. The big boss from the other party, however, did not seem to be especially patient. After torturing her for five whole days they prepared to kill her on the sixth day.
She could only save herself. She made a five year pact with Red Flame that she would train a batch of people each year. Each session would take 24 days.
The big boss of Red Flame agreed readily and let her go. He waited until the day of practice and she appeared on time.
She was taken to the hospital by Red Flame’s people and afterwards, Yu Zhongjing and Yu Mufeng thought of ways to spirit her away.
She laid in bed for over a month before she was able to walk around.
During that month, she looked for information regarding the big boss of Red Flame all day and night. But this so-called ‘Number One Hacker’ could not find anything. She even hacked into Red Flame’s networks but she could not find out who their big boss was.
During torture some of the tattoos on her am and lower thighs were revealed. Yu Zhongjing contacted an aesthetician to remove all the marks on her body.
After the incident, she laid low for a while, trying to minimize her presence. Then, she returned to Changning County to attend school. She only appeared when Yun Ling contacted her because Lin Shuang had met with an accident. That day, when she was in a small villa in Country K, she heard Lu Chengzhou mention the two words, ‘Red Flame’.
Gu Mang narrowed her eyes and stopped spinning the phone in her hand. Pa! She slapped the side of the table. Then, she tapped on it. There was a murderous pressure in the exceptionally silent room.
Gu Mang’s beautiful eyes were really cold and there seemed to be some confusion in them.
She had once said, “Don’t let me find out who the big boss of Red Flame is, otherwise, I will definitely kill him.”
What should she do now?
...
It was lunch time.
Xingzhi sent food to Gu Mang personally.
Lunch consisted of a bowl of rice, a bun, two chicken drumsticks, and an apple. It was a rather sumptuous meal.
“Silence, when are we beginning training tonight?” Xingzhi asked.
Gu Mang held the plate of lunch and laughed lightly. She did not answer him and asked slowly, “Your big boss...”
Xingzhi looked at her. Seeing that she had stopped talking midway, he asked with uncertainty, “What?”
Xingzhi’s expression was quite casual as if he were not guarded against her. He didn’t react as if she had asked about Red Flame’s biggest secret. Or perhaps, he wasn’t worried about anyone ever finding out who Red Flame’s big boss was.
