Lu Ning replied nonchalantly, "These are two different things."

After she finished speaking, she opened the car door and left.

Ji Chiqian didn't even have time to grab her; his outstretched hand froze in mid-air before slowly withdrawing.

Ji Chiqian angrily pounded the chair: "I don't care whether this woman lives or dies."

Did she even know who Gu Zhentian was?

The secretary, sitting in the passenger seat, said, "Mr. Ji, how about we send two bodyguards to protect Miss Lu?"

"Who told her to meddle? Her life or death is none of my business. Let her suffer a little, and she'll know what happens."

He was so angry with that woman.

Ji Chi covered his face and after a long while spoke: "Two bodyguards are not enough, send a few more bodyguards."

secretary:"..."

He knew this would happen. Even though the man said he wouldn't care, he would still care.

Lu Ning went straight upstairs to her office to continue revising the design drawings.

The design department manager came over and said, "Ms. Lu, regarding the design drawings, Manager Zhao would like you to go to the team to discuss the details further. There shouldn't be any major problems."

After listening, Lu Ning nodded: "Okay."

The meaning of these words couldn't be clearer.

Lu Ning glanced at the time, shut down her computer, and prepared to go to the team.

After all, she didn't want to stay at the Gu Group; it only made her feel suffocated and disgusted.

Just then, Lu Ning's phone rang.

It was a call from an unfamiliar number.

Lu Ning answered the phone: "Who is this?"

"Ms. Lu, I am Mr. Gu's lawyer. Given that you..."

"Mr. Gu, which Mr. Gu? I know plenty of people with the surname Gu."

Lu Ning said that on purpose.

The lawyer on the other end of the phone said threateningly, "Ms. Lu, I am Mr. Gu Zhentian's lawyer. Given the serious harm you have caused to my client, we will definitely hold you accountable."

Lu Ning burst out laughing after hearing this: "Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard. Even if you tell your master, he'd have to be alive first."

She hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.

Her expression held a hint of disgust. This Gu Zhentian was indeed cunning, even threatening her.

Most likely, Gu Zhentian doesn't know the specifics of her condition yet. Once he does, he'll probably kneel down and beg for mercy.

Over there on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the lawyer turned to look at Gu Zhentian lying on the hospital bed.

At this moment, Gu Zhentian was covered in bandages, and his expression was extremely cold: "Bring her here and make that bitch wish she were dead."

He had never suffered such humiliation before.

“But this Miss Lu has Ji Chiqian behind her, so it won’t be easy to handle.”

Gu Zhentian was furious: "I don't care about anything else, I must make that woman die! I must make Ji Chiqian pay the price!"

He's lived so many years and has never suffered such a great loss.

After Gu Zhentian finished venting his anger, he looked at the lawyer and asked, "Is the matter from five years ago definitely resolved?"

"It has been properly handled, leaving no trace."

"Go check it again."

Gu Zhentian felt somewhat uneasy. What this woman said last night made him suspect that the matter was not over yet.

Otherwise, why would someone suddenly ask about something that happened five years ago?

Lu Ning went directly to the gaming team.

She didn't message Zhao Gao right away, but instead went to the practice hall for a stroll.

As a result, she witnessed a good show.

Liu Qi and Liu Jie stood face to face, as if they were about to fight.

Lu Ning walked over: "What's going on? Let me see what's happening."

After Lu Ning appeared, the previously tense atmosphere eased considerably.

After all, Lu Ning is a genius who can unleash a twelve-hit combo.

Ever since Lu Ning left last time, everyone has been discussing this, thinking that Lu Ning might join the team later.

Now that Lu Ning has appeared, everyone's expressions are varied.

Lu Ning looked at the two brothers: "Why did you stop fighting?"

After releasing Liu Jie, Liu Qi looked at Lu Ning with a mocking expression: "Oh, what are you doing here? Even if you can land a twelve-hit combo, it doesn't mean you can join the team. You're already so old."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning flew into a rage. How dare he say she was too old?

She looked at Liu Qi: "Are you jealous of me? Are you worried that if I join, I'll take your spot for a permanent position?"

Liu Qi's face turned extremely ugly: "What are you saying, you old woman!"

Damn it, who would have thought that an old woman who could unleash a twelve-hit combo would suddenly appear?

Liu Jie stood in front of Lu Ning: "Liu Qi, if you have a problem, come at me. Don't make things difficult for Miss Lu."

"Tch, even if this old woman joins, it won't change anything. Playing games isn't just about being a genius; it tests other things too."

Liu Qi was extremely arrogant: "I'm sure I'll win the upcoming promotion assessment."

At this moment, Zhao Gao came down and said, "What are you all standing there for? The assessment is about to begin, everyone get ready."

When Zhao Gao saw Lu Ning, his smile widened: "Oh, Miss Lu, your arrival to our team is such an honor to us."

"Alright, I'll take a look at your assessment process too."

"sure."

Zhao Gao agreed immediately, as he originally wanted Lu Ning to come and learn more about the team.

Lu Ning stood next to Zhao Gao, looking at the people preparing for the assessment: "I don't think Liu Qi is good enough. I think Liu Jie is better."

"Miss Lu has the same eye for people as I do."

"If that's the case, why don't you just make Liu Jie a full member of the team?"

Zhao Gao looked at Liu Qi and Liu Jie: "But rules are rules. If he can't beat Liu Qi, there's nothing I can do. That's just how cruel the competition is."

Furthermore, the competition also puts a person's mental resilience to the test.

Lu Ning didn't say anything, just watched the match downstairs.

The last two people left were Liu Jie and Liu Qi.

Zhao Shang poured tea: "Hmm, it's this scene again. I wonder if the outcome will be different this time."

Lu Ning looked over: "What do you mean? They're always the ones left? In the end, Liu Qi always wins, right?"

"Yes, but Liu Jie is a bit better, but he has a mental block."

After listening, Lu Ning went downstairs and looked at Liu Jie, saying, "Keep going, believe in yourself."

Liu Jie looked at Lu Ning and suddenly became excited.

After all, his former idol was someone who could unleash a twelve-hit combo.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ning unleashed a twelve-hit combo.

Liu Jie nodded: "I will."

Liu Qi, standing to the side, smugly shouted, "Liu Jie, don't bother struggling. You'll never beat me. After all, I've always been better than you, and everyone likes me more."

Lu Ning looked at Liu Qi and said, "Only those who are truly insecure would say such boastful things."

After Liu Qi was interrupted, he glared at Lu Ning and then started the competition.

Lu Ning watched the competition intently, and in the end, Liu Jie won.

Liu Qi stared at his hands in disbelief: "What happened? How could I have lost?"

Liu Jie finally showed confidence for once: "I will never lose to you again."

"Impossible! How could you possibly beat me? You piece of trash!"

Lu Ning looked over and said, "Liu Qi, you know very well that he is better than you, which is why you use these words to provoke him and try to manipulate him."

"You're talking nonsense, I don't believe you."

Liu Qi looked at Zhao Gao: "I request to do it again."

Zhao Gao looked at Liu Jie: "What do you think?"

Liu Jie said confidently, "Yes, it's possible."

Zhao Gao smiled and said, "That's fine then. Let's do it again."

The second match began, but this time it ended even faster than the last.

Liu Qi suffered a crushing defeat.

Everyone present was stunned and found it unbelievable.

Liu Qi glared at Liu Jie, furious and embarrassed: "You cheated! You definitely cheated, otherwise how could you have beaten me?"

Lu Ning burst out laughing: "This is absolutely hilarious! You lost, so why accuse others of cheating!"

People around them were also whispering among themselves.

"But Liu Jie has never beaten Qi Ge before."

"Yeah, that's really weird."

Liu Qi said confidently, "That's right, he cheated, otherwise how could he have beaten me?"

Liu Qi's two henchmen chimed in, "It's definitely cheating. We must investigate thoroughly, otherwise it's not fair at all."

Liu Qi looked at Zhao Gao: "Manager Zhao, I think he definitely cheated. I request an inspection."

Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Alright, let's check then."

Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at his little follower and gave him a wink.

Soon, someone came to check Liu Jie's computer.

The inspector looked at the computer screen in surprise: "Manager Zhao, we found an unknown program and a suspected virus on the computer."
