Chapter 37: The Appearance of Arctic Fox
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

12 A.M. was the liveliest hour in Tian Que.
In the women’s restroom.
Gu Mang was alone inside.
A virtual keyboard was projected on the ceramic counter of the sink.
A mini projector was aimed at a wall and words appeared on it.
Gu Mang struck a careless pose as she stood with a bent leg while her beautiful fingers typed quickly on the virtual keyboard.
A slim lady’s cigarette hung from her lips but it was unlit.
She had a cold look in her eyes and a tiny smirk on her lips that made her look penetratingly wicked.
Suddenly, her hands stopped.
The pupils of her pretty eyes contracted.
At the same time, the surveillance room in Tian Que broke out in chaos as all the monitors went dark.
After ten minutes, Gu Mang received some news.
[It’s done. Disperse.]
A large crowd of people clad in black moved around in Tian Que as though they were searching for someone.
Gu Mang put on her watch, necklace, ear studs, and gold-rimmed glasses before leaving the restroom.
Pushing down the brim of her cap, she walked towards the entrance. Just as she reached the door.
“Stop right there.” A few of the black-clad people walked over and scrutinized her from head to toe.
Gu Mang’s lowered gaze was icy and dark.
“Ms. Gu?” said a familiar male voice behind her.
Gu Mang shifted her gaze and saw Lu Chengzhou.
The man had a solitary hand in his pocket. The black shirt he was wearing gave him a quality of restraint and his almond eyes exuded waves of chilliness.
Upon seeing Lu Chengzhou, the black-cald people bowed respectfully. “Is this your friend, Young Master Lu?”
“Mm.” Lu Chengzhou finally looked at Gu Mang when he spoke.
The black-clad people said immediately, “Our apologies, Miss, for the offense.”
“It’s alright.” Gu Mang was pretty polite.
Outside Tian Que.
Lu Chengzhou looked at the reticent Gu Mang. “Why did you come to Tian Que tonight?”
Gu Mang replied mildly, “To earn money.” 1
“Are you very short on money?”
Gu Mang’s bright black eyes were reserved as she looked at him. “You should know whether that’s the case.”
Lu Chengzhou had done a background check on Gu Mang and knew that Guy Mang’s parents had recently died. She was now an orphan who could only rely on herself to survive. 2
“Didn’t I give you two hundred thousand dollars for the medical fee?” he asked.
“I can’t just sit idle and use up everything,” Gu Mang replied.
Lu Chengzhou saw the earnestness in her face and a smile appeared on his face. “Let’s go. I’ll take you back to school.”
“There’s no need. My friend is coming for me.”
Right after she spoke, a white SUV pulled into the parking lot. The window rolled down and Lin Shuang shouted, “Gu Mang, let’s go.”
Gu Mang nodded to Lu Chengzhou politely. “Goodbye, Young Master Lu.”
Lu Chengzhou watched Gu Mang walk away. There was only a single remark he would give her: beautiful.
All the other words seemed too inferior to be used to describe her.
He waited for her to get in the car before turning around to walk into Tian Que.
Qin Fang and He Yidu were waiting at the box seats of the bar.
They were puzzled that Lu Chengzhou had come back so quickly, but did not dare to waste time on idle chatter, instead focusing on the matter at hand. “Brother Cheng, Shadow League mixed up the transaction and the one that accepted the mission was Nine Tails.
Lu Chengzhou leaned against the sofa as he drummed his slender fingers on the armrest of the seat. In an indifferent tone, he said, “Nine Tails doesn’t have the capability to hack into Tian Que’s security system.”
Qin Fang and He Yidu exchanged glances.
Did he mean that someone was helping Nine Tails in the dark?
Who was it? Was it the elusive Arctic Fox?
…
Lin Shuang sped down the road, the streetlights flashing by rapidly.
Her hands were placed carelessly on the steering wheel and she kept stealing glances towards the shotgun seat.
After staying silent for a long while, she couldn’t help herself and asked, “Little Sister Gu, what’s up with you and Lu Chengzhou?”
They had walked together earlier and looked really close.
There was something suggestive about it.
