Chapter 968: Nobody Will Be Lenient to a Pile of Trash

The Head Elder sighed, his voice carrying a hint of ruthlessness. “I’m very disappointed in her.”

Old Master Gu drummed his fingers against the sofa’s armrests. “Prepare to groom Gu Si instead.”

The Head Elder narrowed his eyes slightly.

Huo Zhi’s mind was on another matter as he looked down at the teacup in his hand. “Does Lu Chengzhou need the medicine since he’s a member of the Ye family?”

The Head Elder was not concerned about this. “It doesn’t matter whether he needs it or not. What matters is that Gu Mang needs it.”

“No, this question is very important to me,” answered Huo Zhi with a shake of his head. He had been wondering what made Gu Mang suddenly decide to return to Jijing Island with Gu Si when she had been reluctant to do so in the past. She had even gone to the extent of putting up an act with Lu Chengzhou to fool everyone into thinking that she was a pushover who had nobody to rely on. However, the Head Elder ended up falling into her trap.

It’s obvious that she’s after the medicine since she requested to take over Base 102 as soon as she returned to Jijing Island, but I thought it was for Gu Si and herself… If Lu Chengzhou also needs the medicine… Huo Zhi tugged the corners of his lips sardonically. I taught her so much and protected her for so many years, yet she doesn’t even bother to give me a look.

Having remained in his position for years, the astute Head Elder naturally figured out what Huo Zhi meant in no time. He glanced at Huo Zhi. “Since things have turned out this way and Jijing Island is in a chaotic state, I don’t mind making things even more chaotic. You’d better not interfere with Base 102 matters, though.”

Huo Zhi put down the teacup and stood up while speaking in a frigid voice. “I just want her to be safe. I don’t care about anything else.”

Old Master Gu and the Head Elder watched Huo Zhi leave the office. It was only then that the former said, “Gu Mang can’t stay alive.”

The Head Elder poured himself another cup of tea before sighing. “It’s a pity. A001 was such a good seedling.”

…

Meanwhile, at the Leng residence.

Old Master Leng asked restlessly, “What now? Are you really going to hand Base 102 over to Gu Mang?”

Leng Xuan crossed a leg atop another as she leisurely sipped on a cup of tea. “Even if I want to do that, the Elders’ Association won’t allow it.”

“Why?” Old Master Leng was surprised to hear that. Every member of the Elders’ Association has affixed their seal and signature on the agreement and Brahma was present the other day, so there’s no way they can go back on their word.

“Nobody in this world can be free from the restrictions of rules and regulations. Since the outcome is already decided, why not choose someone who is more beneficial?” Leng Xuan smiled. Besides, the Head Elder knows that only I am the most suitable candidate to take charge of Base 102.

Old Master Gu still did not get it though. “But Gu Mang has Red Flame, the Killer Alliance, the Bai family, and the Ye family behind her now. Who still dares to touch her? On top of that… Don’t forget her assessment rank.” Gu Mang is no longer the person she was when she returned to Jijing Island.

The smile on Leng Xuan’s face faded as she turned to look at Old Master Leng with vicious-looking eyes. “Do you know what will happen if the threads controlling a puppet snap?”

Old Master Leng frowned but did not speak. His daughter’s personality had changed so much that she now acted strangely most of the time. He did not know what he should say about her.

“It’s not freedom that awaits the puppet. Instead, it’ll turn into a pile of trash. Nobody will be lenient to a pile of trash,” Leng Xuan went on speaking. Does Gu Mang really think that the Elders’ Association won’t dare to lay a hand on her just because they think highly of her?

Old Master Leng finally understood what his daughter was talking about. “Are you saying that…”

Leng Xuan laughed.

Fewer and fewer talents were selected by the Jijing Special Institute each year and their qualifications were getting worse. If this went on, the extreme lack of talent on Jijing Island would eventually be a problem.

Leng Xuan had needed a lab rat for the longest time, but the Head Elder thought that Gu Mang and Gu Si could help Jijing Island to continue its glory with their talents, while Old Master Gu saw the siblings as a springboard for the Gu family to return to its former glory.

Unfortunately, neither of the siblings could be controlled. The engagement was just a test and a chance given to Gu Mang by the Head Elder and Old Master Gu, but she ended up humiliating both of them publicly. There was no point in keeping a puppet that could not be controlled.

Leng Xuan recalled what happened earlier at the takeover ceremony. Lu Chengzhou turns out to be the Ye family’s young master. I wonder if he needs the medicine. If he does… then everything can be easily settled.
