Chapter 866 - Everyone Was Waiting To See Gu Mang Humiliated

Huo Zhi returned to Jijing Island two hours later than Gu Mang.

When he heard that Gu Mang was going to participate in Base 102 assessment, his face became a little sullen. “Did Gu Mang request it on her own volition?”

“Yes.” The bald man followed Huo Zhi. “But the Elders’ Association made a request. Ms. Gu has to rank first in the physiology competition before they will arrange the assessment.”

At the airport, Huo Zhi strode forward and called Gu Mang on the phone. When he reached the front of the car, the bald man pulled the door open respectfully.

Huo Zhi got into the car. He threw his jacket on the seat beside him. Finally, Gu Mang picked up.

“It’s me.” Huo Zhi had gotten used to her curt replies. “You should go to training before taking the assessment. You will do better if you do.”

Gu Mang had just showered and she was sitting at the side of her bed with her legs crossed.

She wiped her hair with a towel in one hand and held her phone in the other. In a nonchalant tone, she answered, “Waste of time.”

Huo Zhi frowned and his lower jaw tightened. “Aren’t you afraid of failing the assessment?”

Gu Mang laughed. “I just enjoy asking for it.”

Huo Zhi suppressed the anger in his chest and controlled his emotions. “You can’t take the assessment unless I approve it.”

“Is it so?” Gu Mang threw the towel on the bed and ruffled her hair. “We shall see.”

...

The next day.

Huo Zhi received a call from Old Master Gu.

“Everyone in the Elders’ Association has agreed to it. This will be a good test for Gu Mang too,” Old Master Gu said slowly in a tone that allowed no room for rebuttal. “Rest assured.”

“She’s not going to pass,” Huo Zhi said.

Old Master Leng laughed softly. “I know. Even though I look down on the Leng family, Gu Mang really isn’t as smart as Leng Xuan.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Then...”

“Kill her spirit,” Old Master said. “Also, we aren’t even sure if she will rank first in the physiology competition.”

Huo Zhi was silent for a while. “I understand now.”

Everyone was waiting to see Gu Mang humiliated.

...

Gu Si wanted to enter the training ground only after his sister had finished the assessment.

The Elders’ Association had waited for so many years for this moment so a few days would not make a difference. So they agreed.

The entire villa had an advanced centralized intelligence system management. The security defense had been created by Gu Mang herself.

When Jiangsui came to Jijing Island, he brought a few men along to guard the outside. At the moment, the villa was very safe.

Gu Mang had been reading upstairs for the past two days. She only came down to eat meals.

Gu Si and Jiangsui had nothing to do so they played games in the hall.

At 4pm Old Master Bai came to the villa. This was the first time that Gu Si had seen Old Master Bai since he returned to Jijing Island.

He had a subordinate continue his game for him as he got up and walked over to greet Old Master Bai politely. “Grandpa.”

Old Master Bai could still recognize Gu Mang but he could not recognize Gu Si.

Old Master Bai looked at his face with his old eyes. He looked a lot like his daughter, Bai Xu.

He patted Gu Si on the shoulder. “Good.”

Gu Si could differentiate the good from the bad. He looked at Old Master Bai and asked, “Grandpa, are you here to look for my sister?”

Old Master Bai nodded.

“Then please have a seat while I go up and get her,” Gu Si said. Then, he ordered the smart robot to pour Old Master Bai a cup of tea and went upstairs.

Jiangsui put down his computer mouse and invited Old Master Bai to sit on the sofa.

After a while, Gu Mang and Gu Si came down.

“Grandpa.” Gu Mang sat on the sofa across from Old Master Bai.

Gu Mang’s eyes were a little red and it seemed like she hadn’t been sleeping well.

Old Master Bai looked at her face. She was thinner than when she had come to the Bai residence previously. He sighed. “Right now, the big families already know about the assessment. You just returned and you haven’t even gone through the training process, yet you say that you want to do take the assessment. The rumors haven’t been nice.”

“So be it.” Gu Mang looked cold.
