Chapter 740: Be Wise and Learn From Her Lesson
Liang Qingru had not heard the name ‘Gu Mang’ in a long time. Now that it was suddenly brought up, it haunted her like a shadow. She slammed her hands on the table, fuming. “That wacko beat up my son last time and now she even beat Xue’er up?!”
Her older sister said nothing. She was smart enough to guess by now who the mastermind behind the fall of the Sang Corporation was.
After cursing Gu Mang, Liang Qingru asked, “How’s Xue’er doing?”
Mrs. Sang let out a weary sigh at that. “She’s lying in the hospital bed, unconscious. She sustained serious injuries including a skull fracture and an intracranial hemorrhage.”
“What a madwoman she is!” cursed Liang Qingru once more. Taking a deep breath, she then told her sister, “Don’t worry, sis. I’ll come to the capital right away. Brother-in-law will be fine.”
As she spoke, she stood up and turned around to instruct the butler to book flight tickets for her.
Mr. Yi, who had also lost his appetite, lifted his chin at the butler.
Upon ending the call, his wife made another call to their son. “Son, did you know that your aunt’s family is in trouble?”
On the other end of the line, Yi Chen was standing on the small balcony of a school building. He could hear passersby talking about what happened in the girls’ dormitory last night and the scandal about the Sang Corporation. Everyone in school knew about it.
The Sang family fell from grace the day after Sang Xue laid hands on Meng Jinyang. Naturally, there was no way Yi Chen could believe that this was not Gu Mang’s doing.
However, nobody at school seemed to have found the link between the two matters. All they thought was how unlucky Sang Xue was. Then again, this was because nobody believed that Gu Mang had the ability to make a commercial giant like the Sang Corporation collapse overnight.
Pursing his lips, Yi Chen hummed and said, “Yes.”
“I’m going to the airport right now. If you don’t have classes in the afternoon, come over to the hospital to visit your cousin later. She was beaten up by Gu Mang.” As Liang Qingru spoke, she made her way to the bedroom upstairs to get her purse.
He had expected this situation, so he did not answer his mother and instead asked, “Are her injuries serious?”
Liang Qingru angrily repeated what her older sister told her to her son. “She’s still unconscious.”
Yi Chen lowered his gaze and looked down at the students walking towards the school building. “I told her not to mess with Gu Mang.”
“Pardon?” For a moment, Liang Qingru did not understand what her son was saying.
“Mom, back then, Gu Mang and I...” Her son paused and then continued. “Do you still remember how much money we lost?”
She said nothing to that.
“Surely you didn’t think Gu Mang was acting so arrogantly because she had Director-General Lu’s backing?” asked Yi Chen meaningfully.
His mother returned his question with another question while frowning. “Isn’t that so?”
Now that Lu Shangjin had transferred to the capital and patched up his relationship with the Lu family, Gu Mang is even more arrogant and reckless than before.
“No.” Resting his arms on the railing, he expressionlessly said, “Gu Mang’s the Chief Forensic Doctor of the Criminal Division, so she’s even more well-versed with the laws than the law students themselves.”
“Criminal Division?” Liang Qingru felt her mind tense up. She knew very well the status of the Criminal Division in the capital. Gu Mang belongs to the Criminal Division...
Including the time spent at military training, it had been almost three months since Yi Chen had entered university. During this period, he had learned plenty about Gu Mang.
To be honest, he hadn’t actually learned his lesson even after his family lost so much money to Gu Mang. However, the news of her being the top scholar at the age of seven was a wake-up call to him.
Ever since they entered university, Gu Mang had been attending classes with the postgraduate students. On top of that, she had scored full marks on her first college exams. Everything was telling him that she was not someone he could afford to offend.
“If my information is correct, what happened to the Sang family is probably Gu Mang’s doing,” he told his mother. “She taught us a lesson back then. We should be wise and avoid landing ourselves in trouble again.”
