Chapter 75 - 75 What Did You Find?

75 What Did You Find?
In the dark alley, the sounds of punching and kicking did not cease. There were no lights, and only faint moonlight shone on the place. The assailant was wearing a cap; when she lowered her head her face could not be seen.
She covered the mouth of the person being attacked and continued hitting her; only whimpers could be heard from the other party…
As if sensing something, she spun around and looked about warily; and she saw a familiar face, followed by the blare of police sirens.
Gu Chen reacted before he could think; he rushed in, grabbed the girl who was hitting the person, and dashed out.
The girl who had been beaten up was suddenly released, and only then did her miserable groans and insults become audible.
Gu Chen dragged her along and ran all the way until they reached a secluded place. He only stopped when he could no longer hear the sirens.
He let go of the girl’s hand and turned to her.
Only then did the girl peel off her cap and look up at him. Her eyes were clear, and there was a smile on her lips. Who else could it be but Lin Ci?
Lin Ci waved her cap at him. “Thanks.”
Gu Chen was dazzled by the girl’s carefree smile, and asked, “A grudge?”
Lin Ci looked at him. “A little. You guys might have a score to settle with her too.”
“Me?”
Gu Chen failed to comprehend this.
Lin Ci swiveled and leaned against a railing at the side, looking at Gu Chen. “What if I told you they were the ones who bullied Little Ning?”
Gu Chen’s face darkened in a heartbeat. “Then yes, there’s a score to settle.”
Gu Chen also leaned against the railing, and lit up a cigarette.
Lin Ci looked at him and grinned. “If it was that other brother of yours, I bet he’d already have gone on a bloody rampage.”
Gu Chen could not help but turn to look at her. He knew that she was talking about Gu Zi.
She’s quite a good judge of character.
Lin Ci gazed into his eyes and leaned close, whispering, “I say, you probably have more creative ways to make them suffer.”
As she spoke, she reached into Gu Chen’s pocket and fished out his phone.
Gu Chen scowled.
This technique… She must have some ‘side hustles’.
Lin Ci faced his phone towards him to unlock his phone screen, and added his number on WeChat.
“I’ll send you their information; I’ll leave the rest to you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she dropped the phone in Gu Chen’s pocket and turned to leave.
Gu Chen blew out a ring of smoke and stared at her. “As far as I know, you and Little Ning are simply deskmates.”
Lin Ci peered back at him. “Indeed.”
Gu Chen waggled his eyebrows, as if asking her, So why do this?
Lin Ci curled her lips into a smirk. “We’re just deskmates, but so what? That ain’t stopping me. There’s people they can mess with and those that they can’t.”
She said that with a smile, but Gu Chen could hear the ruthlessness in her words.
Before he knew it she had already walked a distance, her back shrinking with every step.
…
Less than ten minutes later, someone else appeared beside Gu Chen.
It was a man slightly taller than Gu Chen. He wore a hat and a face mask, so his features could not be distinguished.
“Who’s that just now?”
Gu Chen put out his cigarette and turned to him. “Little Ning’s classmate.”
“What did you find?”
The taller man lowered his voice. “Huo Jinyan has been investigating a certain hacker; before he came to A City, he spent a lot of money to hire an expert in order to pinpoint the location of that hacker. They’re probably here to catch that hacker, but from the looks of it they only have a broad range and don’t know who it specifically is, so they’re staying put.
“He recently bought a property in A City, so he should be preparing to stay for a while.
“As for why he keeps hovering around Boss, he might be suspecting that Boss is that hacker; but Boss doesn’t have such an identity, does she?”
These already confirmed his and Gu Zi’s previous suspicions.
