Chapter 1319: Find out about the Hirer

Leng Shaoting’s friend found that the only person who transferred money to Luca was a businessman called Smith, and his name was also on the list of the call records.

Most importantly, Smith had been to the city where Gu Ning had stayed.

Gu Ning had never been to Country Y before, so she was sure that the mastermind behind this scheme couldn’t be a foreigner.

Smith had been to the same city where she had stayed before, and he also called and made a transfer to Luca, it was highly likely that he was the middleman. Gu Ning had never seen Smith before after all. Therefore the mastermind had to be someone else.

After that, Gu Ning looked at the contacts in Smith’s phone, and found Leng Shaojia’s number.

The second Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning saw Leng Shaojia’s name, they knew that she must have been the hirer of the professional killer. Leng Shaojia never liked Gu Ning and always wanted to cause her trouble.

Leng Shaoting was furious and it seemed that he wanted to kill. Gu Ning grabbed his hand right away in case he attracted attention from the others. “Shaoting, calm down. I don’t want grandpa to know about it right now.”

Gu Ning was also mad and wanted to kill as much as Leng Shaoting did, but she wasn’t as surprised as him when she found out that the mastermind was Leng Shaojia. She knew that Leng Shaojia would never stop making things difficult for her and that Leng Shaojia held a long-standing grudge against her.

However, to her astonishment, Leng Shaojia had hired a professional killer trying to murder her this time. Leng Shaojia’s cruelty and boldness shocked Gu Ning.

Since Leng Shaojia aimed to kill her, Gu Ning had to take it seriously, but she still wouldn’t let Master Leng know anything about it. After all, Leng Shaojia was Master Leng’s granddaughter. Even though Master Leng was quite disappointed in Leng Shaojia, Leng Shaojia grew up in his sight and there was a family connection between them. Therefore, even if Master Leng wouldn’t blame Gu Ning for what she would do to Leng Shaojia, he would still feel unhappy about it.

Gu Ning wasn’t weak nor was she too kind, so she was determined to get revenge on Leng Shaojia, but she had to make allowances for Master Leng’s feelings as well.

In fact, Gu Ning wouldn’t feel guilty if she really did it. She wouldn’t kill Leng Shaojia, which was the only concession she could offer.

As for Leng Shaoting, she believed that he would be supportive even if she was going to seriously injure or disable Leng Shaojia. Leng Shaojia and Leng Shaoting were like strangers, while Gu Ning was Leng Shaoting’s love. Besides, what Leng Shaojia had done to Gu Ning was illegal.

If Leng Shaoting was dissatisfied with Gu Ning’s decision to take revenge, she would have to think about Leng Shaoting’s affection towards her. If Leng Shaoting forgave Leng Shaojia, he would be cruel to Gu Ning and break the law. Gu Ning didn’t want nor need a man who was cruel to her.

Leng Shaoting gradually calmed down with the help of Gu Ning’s comfort, but he was still full of anger. He had warned Leng Shaojia to stay away from Gu Ning, but Leng Shaojia ignored his warning.

Although Leng Shaojia simply wanted to disable Gu Ning, the car accident turned out to be an attempted murder and Gu Ning could have been killed. Gu Ning had only survived because of her magic power. If she was simply an ordinary girl who had no magic power at all, Leng Shaoting would have had to cry over her dead body. Therefore, it was impossible for Leng Shaoting not to be mad at Leng Shaojia.

No matter what Leng Shaojia had planned to do, it seemed that she wanted Gu Ning dead.

And even though Gu Ning was fine now, it was very likely that Leng Shaojia would try to kill Gu Ning again in another way.

As long as Leng Shaojia still had the idea to hurt Gu Ning, it was unacceptable in Leng Shaoting’s eyes.

“Ningning, don’t worry. I promise that I’ll make Leng Shaojia pay for this,” Leng Shaoting said to Gu Ning. He didn’t care about Leng Shaojia at all; Gu Ning was much more important to him than Leng Shaojia. Actually, the only reason he wouldn’t kill Leng Shaojia was for the sake of Master Leng.

“Shaoting, can you leave it to me?” Gu Ning said. Leng Shaojia and Leng Shaoting were cousins after all, and Gu Ning didn’t want to see him criticized for it. In addition, she wanted to take revenge on her own.

“Sure.” Leng Shaoting nodded. He understood that Gu Ning wanted to do it herself and he knew that Gu Ning wouldn’t kill Leng Shaojia either.

“Don’t tell Grandpa Leng and the other members of your family. I don’t want them to feel bad, and I won’t kill Leng Shaojia,” Gu Ning said. She still needed to face Master Leng in the future anyway.

“Great,” Leng Shaoting said.

“Alright, let’s go to deal with Luca now,” Gu Ning said.

…

It was only 10 am, so they would be back before lunch at 12 pm.

Although it was a little inappropriate that Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting often went out when the Leng family visited the Tang family for the first time, the others were aware that they needed to deal with the killer, so nobody criticized them.

Before they went to the branch of the Public Security Bureau, Gu Ning called Director Yao. She needed Director Yao to help her with this case. This was a special case after all, and it would be better if Director Yao was present.
