"Ningning, thank you so much for saving Shaoting's uncle." Master Leng thanked her. Although he had done that on the phone, he felt it was necessary to thank her again face to face.
"It's my pleasure, grandpa. Shaoting's uncle is also my uncle," said Gu Ning.
"What happened?" Leng Shaoting asked. Gu Ning hadn't told him about it yet. She didn't do that on purpose, but simply forgot to tell him. Therefore, she told Leng Shaoting what had happened in City C. When she said she had foreknowledge of the accident that happened to Song Wenxuan, she put it as a premonition. Because Master Leng was here, she couldn't be too honest.
Leng Shaoting understood Gu Ning was implying her foreknowledge.
"Thank you, Ningning!" Leng Shaoting also thanked Gu Ning after hearing the story.
"e on, you don't need to say that. We're a family, right? If you keep on thanking me, I'll feel like an outsider," said Gu Ning and acted angry. She was indeed a little displeased when they kept on thanking her. It made her feel as if she was an outsider.
"Alright, alright, we won't say that again," Master Leng immediately said. It was necessary to thank Gu Ning, but they didn't want her to think that they saw her as an outsider.
Master Leng knew that Gu Ning was very tolerant, but they should care about her feelings since she was unhappy about it.
After that, they talked about something else.
All of a sudden, they mentioned the scandal about the Yuan family.
Master Leng was clearly aware of those rich heirs' bad deeds, so he wasn't surprised at all.
However, he was curious to know whom Yuan Yiyang had offended. All the bad deeds he had done were made public.
Master Leng actually approved of that, because only a few people dared to challenge the powerful now. They could be easily paid back.
"I wonder whether the Yuan family has found out who made all these things public. If the person isn't a criminal, I hope he or she will be safe," said Master Leng. He felt that brave people should be protected, or no one would have the courage to do good things.
However, there was a condition that the person was a good guy. If the person was a criminal, he or she shouldn't be forgiven and would only get a lighter sentence.
"Don't worry, they can't find out who did it," said Gu Ning with certainty.
Master Leng was very smart. Upon hearing Gu Ning's reply, he realized something wasn't right. "Does it have something to do with you?" he asked.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so sure that the Yuan family couldn't find out who did it.
Gu Ning didn't bother to keep it a secret, so she said, "Right, I paid someone to do that, because one of the victims turned to me for help. Although I wasn't involved, I thought I should do something."
Master Leng was surprised after making sure it was done by Gu Ning.
"It's the right thing to do. We're not going to save the whole world, but we must keep a sense of justice. We can help the good fight back against the bad if it's possible, but you must be careful. Don't cause yourself trouble when you're helping others," said Master Leng. He also had a sense of justice, but wouldn't put himself in danger just to help other people. He wouldn't do bad deeds anyway.
"I know," said Gu Ning obediently. She had the same idea, and wouldn't risk her safety for people who didn't deserve her kindness and help.
Master Leng nodded in satisfaction. He supported her when she did good things, but he was more worried about her safety. Therefore, he reminded her to be careful and to not do bad things.
"Oh, one of my old rades will e later," said Master Leng, then turned to ask Leng Shaoting, "Shaoting, do you remember Zhan Daosong, Grandpa Zhan?"
"Yes, of course," said Leng Shaoting, realizing that Master Leng's old rade who would e later was Zhan Daosong.
Zhan Daosong was Master Leng's rade and they had fought together on the battlefield. Both of them had saved each other's life. Zhan Daosong went to City F in the south, so they rarely met each other again, but they kept in touch and occasionally had a meeting.
In the previous years, both of them weren't very old and they could meet once a year. However, they were aging and couldn't travel very often, so they couldn't see each other often now. So it had been three and half years since they had last met.
"Zhan Daosong has a granddaughter named Zhan Zhiyin. She's twenty-five this year and just came home. She's single now, so I have the idea of setting her up with Shaoming. If they have a good impression of each other, they can spend more time together," said Master Leng.
Master Leng was a little worried because Leng Shaoming was still single. Leng Shaoming was a year younger than Leng Shaoting, and was only twenty-six years old. He wasn't old, but he wasn't young either.
He wasn't urging him to get married soon, but they would be more relieved if he at least had a girlfriend.
"Sure," said Leng Shaoting in a flat voice. He didn't have any opinions about that. It wasn't his business after all and he didn't care much about Leng Shaoming.
At 5 pm, Zhan Daosong came and Master Leng went to wele him in person.
Because Master Leng went to wele the guests, Leng Shaoting and the others couldn't stay sitting. Without delay, they went out too. However, right at this moment, Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting, and Jing Yunyao were greatly surprised and exchanged glances.
There was a monster! Right, they sensed a monster.
Zhan Daosong's car entered the Leng family's house at this time.
The three of them stayed calm and didn't avoid the monster. They weren't afraid of being discovered either.
No matter who the monster was, they decided to meet it. If it meant to harm the Leng family, they would get rid of it as soon as possible.
Even if the monster wasn't harmful, they would still remove it if it had done bad things before. If it hadn't done bad things before, they might allow it to stay. However, they clearly felt the monster ing, so it couldn't be at a high level.
After Master Leng and the others walked out of the gate, Zhan Daosong's car was about to arrive.
