Chapter 824 - Is She a Human Being?

The second Gu Ning answered his call, Qi Tianlin heard noises through the phone. He thought that Gu Ning was playing games and forgot their appointment, so he questioned her with annoyance, “Where are you right now? Didn’t you say 7 pm? It’s almost 8 pm now.”

“I’m in the hall at the sixth floor. Where are you?” Gu Ning asked.

Knowing that Gu Ning was already on the sixth floor, Qi Tianlin was cheered up a little. “I’m in my office on the top floor. The manager will lead the way for you.” After that, he hung up on Gu Ning again.

Gu Ning rolled her eyes. It seemed like she was the one begging him for a favor.

Mengda walked back at this moment, and gave Gu Ning 21 chips whose denomination was a million yuan.

Manager Lu also came and greeted Gu Ning with respect. “Miss Gu, can we leave now?”

“Yeah,” Gu Ning said, then followed Manager Lu walking away.

The others in the hall were shocked by the fact that this young girl knew Manager Lu.

It wasn’t uncommon that a gambler knew Manager Lu. In fact, frequent visitors here all knew Manager Lu, but it was the first time that they had seen Manager Lu being so polite to a young girl.

Zi Beiying was also astonished. She walked towards an elevator too, but she wasn’t following Gu Ning. They were leaving as well.

Zi Beiying was going upstairs, but she was unwilling to be in the same elevator as Gu Ning, so she waited for the next one.

When Gu Ning arrived at Qi Tianlin’s office, he was lazily lying on the sofa with his legs crossed. The black tight pants accentuated his long, strong legs, and he only fastened two buttons of his shirt. He was handsome with beautiful features and looked obtrusive.

Seeing Gu Ning walking inside, he gave her a glance with arrogance on his face, but it wasn’t aggressive at all. On the contrary, he looked like a little boy who felt wronged. “You’re very punctual,” he said in a sarcastic tone.

“Yeah, I’m always punctual.” Gu Ning ignored his sarcasm, then walked to sit down on the sofa, followed by Gao Yi and Qiao Ya. Once Gu Ning was seated, they stood apart at her sides. It was obvious that they were her bodyguards.

Qi Tianlin glanced at them, and sensed that they weren’t normal fighters or bodyguards, but ace killers.

“What? Can’t you serve your guest a cup of tea?” Gu Ning cocked her eyebrow.

“Please wait a second, Miss Gu.” Yu Hao went to pour a cup of tea for Gu Ning at once, and he forgot that his boss hadn’t said anything yet.

Qi Tianlin didn’t actually mind.

Gu Ning wasn’t in a hurry to take out her pills, but decided to drink some tea first because she was thirsty now.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

Qi Tianlin gave Cheng Hua a look to tell him to open it.

Common people didn’t dare to go upstairs to knock on the door of his office. The visitor was normally Manager Lu, or someone else with his permission.

The door was pushed open, and Gu Ning was surprised to see Zi Beiying along with her two bodyguards.

Zi Beiying also rounded her eyes in shock when she saw that Gu Ning was enjoying tea with Qi Tianlin. “Why are you here?”

“Why can’t I be here?” Gu Ning blinked at her, and looked innocent.

Zi Beiying was struck dumb for a second.

Qi Tianlin, on the other hand, squinted at them. Do they know each other? It seems they don’t get along. Does Gu Ning know Zi Beiying’s family background?

“Please have a seat, Miss Zi,” Qi Tianlin said politely.

“Thanks,” Zi Beiying said, then walked to sit on the sofa.

Cheng Hua also poured a cup of tea for her.

The Zi family was involved in both legal and illegal business, and munitioners held a high position in this society. Even the government was more afraid of munitioners than gangs.

Although the government had its own army, and didn’t lack munitions at all, it still needed to cooperate with some munitioners who could supply better arms. Therefore, no government was willing to fight against a munitioner.

Therefore, Qi Tianlin treated members of the Zi family with great respect. He wouldn’t flatter them, but would be respectful.

“Miss Zi, please wait a second and allow me to finish the deal with her,” Qi Tianlin said. He had no intention to avoid Zi Beiying.

“Sure,” Zi Beiying said.

After that, Qi Tianlin looked at Gu Ning. “Where is it?”

Gu Ning then threw him a porcelain bottle the size of a fist. “Twenty million yuan.”

Hearing that, Zi Beiying was greatly surprised. Twenty million yuan? For a porcelain bottle?

“Yu Hao,” Qi Tianlin called. Without hesitation, Yu Hao went to transfer the money to Gu Ning.

“Wait a second,” Gu Ning said all of a sudden.

“May I help, Miss Gu?” Yu Hao asked.

“Please help me exchange these chips for money, and transfer it to my account as well,” Gu Ning said, then Gao Yi gave Yu Hao the chips in his hands.

When Yu Hao saw the chips in the box, he was astonished. Although there were only 31 of them inside, each of them was worth a lot.

Qi Tianlin also noticed that, and frowned with unhappiness. “Are you going to win every cent in the Earth Nightclub?”

Although he didn’t lack money, he couldn’t accept the fact that Gu Ning won dozens of millions of yuan every time she came there.

Gu Ning rolled her eyes at him. “Relax, I didn’t win the Earth Nightclub’s money this time. The money is Miss Zi’s.”

Hearing that, Zi Beiying was displeased, and felt quite upset.

“Stay away from her if you want to fight or gamble in the future,” Qi Tianlin said to Zi Beiying. It sounded like he was protecting Zi Beiying, but actually he was being considerate towards Gu Ning. Zi Beiying was from a very influential family, and it wouldn’t do Gu Ning any good if she was annoyed. Even the Kirin Gang wasn’t able to keep Gu Ning safe with certainty.

“She has already beaten me in a fight,” Zi Beiying said with a sad face.

Hearing that, Qi Tianlin was surprised. He looked at Gu Ning, but didn’t say anything.

Zi Beiying was upset and disappointed, but didn’t blame Gu Ning for it.

“Tianlin, is she a human being?” Zi Beiying asked. She couldn’t believe that a young girl like Gu Ning could be so outstanding at both fighting and gambling.
