Chapter 409: Ye Qing’s Abnormal Behavior
Mengyu felt it was unlikely: Could the human trafficking group really have such immense power to not only spring Father Jiang and Madam Jiang from detention but also help Jiang Huaiyu, who was supposed to be dealt with, return to the county high school?
How terrifying is this human trafficking group?
Does this human trafficking group itself have a protective umbrella at the top echelons, or is it being controlled or utilized by some higher-up with the goal of targeting Mengyu and destroying her?
Do the Nan Family people know about this?
"If something like this happens again, don’t track them by yourself. You must notify me immediately, understand?" Gu Dongxing felt a bit scared after hearing that Lao San was a martial artist.
"You were out on a mission, weren’t you?" Mengyu complained. "How could I find you? I can’t just wait until your mission is over before contacting you, right? By the time I would get to you, they’d already be gone."
Gu Dongxing choked: Was she blaming him?
He felt both embarrassed and angry: "No matter what, you can’t take risks. Although you’ve built a foundation, your mana must not be used recklessly, and your martial power is really not enough against a true expert. From now on, leave matters concerning the human trafficking group to me. You’re not allowed to get involved."
"But—"
"No buts, your only responsibility is to repay your debt of gratitude," Gu Dongxing said dominantly.
"Repay a debt of gratitude?" Mengyu was a bit confused: "What debt of gratitude?"
"I remember someone once told me that a life-saving grace is immeasurable, and one must repay it with their own body."
"Uh—" Mengyu felt guilty: "That was just a makeshift plan at the time."
"It’s all planned out, so let’s stick to the plan. That’s settled!" Gu Dongxing said forcefully.
But then, his expression became hesitant again.
"What, when you said to repay the debt, it wasn’t really about asking for my help with something, was it?" Mengyu teased.
To her, Gu Dongxing awkwardly replied, "Yes."
Mengyu was surprised: "You really have a matter to discuss?" Her face instantly fell: "I thought you came to see me, turns out you needed something."
Gu Dongxing was somewhat at a loss: "I really did miss you, and I also wanted to report that I had sent Ye Qing away, of course, of course—"
Mengyu burst into laughter: "Brother Gu, you’re too cute."
Gu Dongxing then realized that Mengyu had been pretending to be angry just now. He breathed a sigh of relief; he wasn’t quite sure when it happened, but somehow, he had started to be a little afraid of the little one.
He sighed, saying, "Xiao Meng, I’m sorry for causing trouble for you."
Mengyu was puzzled: "Brother Gu, what trouble have you caused me?"
Gu Dongxing first slapped himself before replying, "I shouldn’t have brought Ye Qing back."
Mengyu nodded: "We have already turned this page, no need to mention it again."
Gu Dongxing sighed again: "We might have turned the page on Ye Qing’s matter, but it has caused a butterfly effect."
"What butterfly effect?" Mengyu didn’t understand.
"It’s like this. Before, wasn’t Ye Qing afflicted with premature aging from radiation? Several big hospitals in Beijing diagnosed her with only three to five years left to live.
I don’t know why, but I felt you could cure her, so I brought her back and asked you to treat her, and you indeed cured her.
Originally, she stayed with my mother, and no one else knew she was cured. I was only thinking, she’s usually so low-key that even if she recovered, she wouldn’t cause any major trouble after returning.
But after she went back to Beijing, she acted out of character, becoming high-profile and frequently attending various gatherings."
A chill ran through Mengyu’s heart: What is she up to now?
