pled the napkin into a ball and tossed it into the trash bin before walking out coldly.

Bai Qingqing hurriedly followed her.
“What’s wrong, Young Lady?”

Gu Mang didn’t answer her question.
After walking in the silence for about thirty seconds, she completely adapted to the darkness and could see slightly in the dark.

Just as they were about to reach Lan Sha’s observation deck, Gu Mang suddenly stopped at a corner.

Bai Qingqing’s position in the Bai family wasn’t low and was, in fact, quite important.
From the time they left the bathroom and reached here, she had noticed that something was wrong.
She looked at her phone screen and whispered softly to Gu Mang, “Young Lady, there’s no signal.”

Her phone had completely lost its signal when the power went out.
She couldn’t help worrying when she realized that something had probably happened in the underground market.
I’m the only one who came with Ms.
Gu tonight.
If anything happens to her, my death won’t be able to make up for it.
What should I do?

Gu Mang pursed her lips slightly and slowly poked her head out from the corner.
She was surprised to see two familiar figures standing outside the doorway though.
Qin Fang and He Yidu?

Gu Mang suddenly realized who was behind the blackout: Lu Chengzhou.
She fell silent for a whole ten seconds and couldn’t describe the complicated emotions she was currently feeling.
What the hell?! Lu Chengzhou? D*mn it!

“Young Lady, what should we do?” After seriously taking into consideration that some of them were severely outnumbered, Bai Qingqing said, “Why don’t we find the exit and leave first? I’ll call Bai Sui to get our men over.”

Gu Mang closed her eyes and walked out with an expressionless face.

“Young Lady…” Bai Qingqing anxiously tried to pull Gu Mang back, but she failed to do so and thus had no choice but to follow her out.
With clenched fists, she tensely walked over to Gu Mang’s side.

Lu Jiu and Lu Shi frowned when they saw two black figures approaching them.
They had already removed their night-vision goggles, so they couldn’t clearly see the other party’s faces in this dim corridor.

Upon receiving a signal from Qin Fang, who lifted his chin in the black figures’ direction, Lu Jiu and Lu Shi nodded and immediately rushed forward to knock them out.
However, when they were about three steps away from the figures, they heard a cold and deep female voice say, “Are you sure you guys want to fight me?”

The voice was extremely familiar to Qin Fang, He Yidu, and the rest.
Lu Jiu and Lu Shi, who almost failed to stop themselves in time, froze on the spot and stared wide-eyed at Gu Mang.

“Ms… Gu?” called Lu Jiu in disbelief.

The jaws of Qin Fang and He Yidu were completely slackened, and they immediately straightened their backs.

Gu Mang didn’t say anything.
She just walked past Lu Jiu and Lu Shi and headed straight toward the observation deck’s doorway.

As she got closer to Qin Fang, the latter became certain that she was indeed Gu Mang, for nobody else could command such a presence.

He Yidu, on the other hand, fell into a momentary daze, having never expected to see Gu Mang here.
After he got back to his senses, he asked, “Sister-in-law Mang, why… are you here?” She didn’t come with us nor Lin Shuang and Yun Ling.
Did she come here on her own?

Gu Mang glanced at them somewhat tiredly and pressed down on the door handle.
The moment the door was pushed open, she was greeted with the sight of Lu Chengzhou holding a teacup in his hand as he said to her godfather in an arrogant and threatening manner, “Do think it through, Mr.
Lan.”

Upon hearing the door open, Lu Chengzhou looked back and was surprised to see Gu Mang at the door.
It seemed that he hadn’t expected to see her here.

An expressionless Gu Mang walked over to them.

Lan Sha, on the other hand, squeezed his fingers together slightly as a hint of worry surfaced in his eyes.
All of a sudden, it caught his attention that He Yidu and Qin Fang, who were behind Gu Mang, seemed to treat her with respect.
He knitted his eyebrows together.
Does Gu Mang know these people?

By the time Lu Chengzhou snapped back to his senses, Gu Mang was already in front of him.
He thought that she had found out about his plans to make a move on the underground market and had come here out of worry for him.
Thus, he gently said, “I can properly settle this matter.
You needn’t rush over instead of accompanying your Godfather.”

Gu Mang, who was standing in front of the table between Lan Sha and Lu Chengzhou, gave him a speechless look when she heard what he said.

Lan Sha looked at Gu Mang, then He Yidu, Qin Fang, and Lu Chengzhou.
“Do you know these people, Gu Mang?”

A cold silence instantly fell over the room when the rest of the people heard Lan Sha calling Gu Mang by her name.
Lu Chengzhou’s expression stiffened, while Qin Fang gasped in shock and fear that they had unknowingly offended another of Gu Mang’s acquaintances once again.
“H-He Yidu, did we just…”

He Yidu’s heartbeat quickened, but he didn’t say anything.
How come she knows Lan Sha?

Gu Mang awkwardly scratched her nape and pointed her chin in Lu Chengzhou’s direction while saying to Lan Sha in a rather stiff voice, “Ah, Godfather… This is Lu Chengzhou, my boyfriend…”

The next second, everyone saw Lu Chengzhou bouncing up from the sofa and the tea in his teacup splashing onto his hand due to the sudden huge movement.

With a rather stiff expression, Lu Chengzhou looked at Lan Sha before directing his gaze to Gu Mang and repeating in a strained voice, “…G-godfather?”

Gu Mang’s eyeballs slowly moved to the side as she affirmed this while staring expressionlessly at his face.
“Yes, my godfather.”

At the thought of the atrocious things he did earlier, Lu Chengzhou felt as if all the blood in his body was flowing in the reverse direction.
He cringed, remembering how arrogantly he had acted earlier.

Lan Sha looked at him coolly.

Qin Fang nearly died on the spot when he heard what Gu Mang said.
What the heck?! Lan Sha is Gu Mang’s godfather?! Not her friend, but her freaking godfather?! This is way worse than offending her friend! We actually brought out men here to threaten her godfather! Oh no, we’re dead now! Is it too late for me to pack my things and run?

The corners of He Yidu’s lips couldn’t help but twitch as he looked at Lu Chengzhou and silently prayed for him.
Good luck, Brother Cheng.
You haven’t even married Gu Mang yet, but you nearly destroyed your father-in-law’s territory…

Nobody spoke, and the room was filled with an odd silence.

Qin Fang and the others dared not to breathe out loud.
They kept looking back at the doorway wanting to escape, but they dared to even move.

Standing in front of Lan Sha, Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou lowered their heads slightly in unison as if they had made a mistake.

Lan Sha, however, kept glaring at Lu Chengzhou.

In Qin Fang’s opinion, given Lan Sha’s foul temper, he was fully capable of throwing Lu Chengzhou into the sea and making him swim back to the capital just for the fact that he was Gu Mang’s boyfriend and that he had nearly destroyed Lan Sha’s territory.
Qin Fang reckoned that Lan Sha might even rip Lu Chengzhou apart if he were to find out that Gu Mang was pregnant on top of that.
Lu Zhan had wanted to kill his own son when he found out about it, and there was no telling what Lan Sha’s reaction would be.

Gu Mang seemed to have sensed her godfather’s murderous intent as well.
She tapped the back of Lu Chengzhou’s hand and whispered, “What have you done behind my back?”

Lu Chengzhou, who had completely calmed down, was trying to find a way to make up for his mistake.
His fingers curled slightly, and that was when he realized he was still holding a teacup in his hand.
He said sincerely, “Would you believe me if I say that I’m here to have tea with your Godfather?”

Gu Mang shot him a “Are you kidding me?” look in return.

Sitting on the sofa, Lan Sha scoffed.
“Aren’t you here to replace the underground market with fresh blood, Mr.
Lu?”

Lu Chengzhou looked up nervously.
“Godfather, I—”

“Don’t call me that,” interrupted Lan Sha.
“IGu Mang is my only godchild.”

Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang were at a loss of what to say.
