He created a shadow clone, which carried Liu Miaomiao back to bed to continue sleeping, while staying at home to protect the two of them.
Then, guided by the natural energy in its hand, the entity began to walk outwards.
As he walked out of the apartment building, he used a transformation spell, turning into a woman wearing a black dress. He slowly walked out of the community, crossed the road, and turned into a dark alley.
The streets were dimly lit and deserted in the early morning.
In the middle of a dark alley, a man was standing there waiting.
He saw a slender figure walking slowly toward him with her head down, wearing a black dress.
"You dressed so provocatively to bed at night! The contrast between your youthful appearance and your actual sexiness is truly...exciting!"
He was instantly smitten when he first saw Liu Miaomiao at the club; she looked so elegant and had a pure and lovely appearance.
He couldn't resist reaching out to gently stroke the face that was bowing its head, pinching 'her' delicate chin to lift her face up.
When he saw the face clearly, he suddenly froze.
"If it's not her, then who... are you?"
Gu Ran, now in the form of a woman, gave a strange smile: "You don't recognize me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ran gathered his strength in his right hand and threw a punch at the person in front of him, aiming straight for his chest!
This punch did not involve gathering chakra to use super strength; it was simply a direct application of the power of the Sage Mode body itself.
Sage Mode is an all-around enhancement, not only improving sensory abilities and chakra, but also greatly increasing the body's own strength.
If the Sakura Rush were to use Sage Chakra, combined with the power of the Sage Body, this punch would probably turn someone into mincemeat.
The man was punched squarely in the chest and sent flying backward, from the middle of the alley to the end!
"This can't even fly someone to the other side of the street, what a failure!" Gu Ran, dressed as a woman, said a line from a Stephen Chow movie.
After the man was sent flying backward, he rubbed against the ground for another four or five meters before coming to a stop due to the resistance of the concrete road surface.
His clothes were worn through on the back, and his skin was severely abraded, causing a burning pain in his back.
Not only that, but his ribs were broken by a punch, and several of them even pierced his lungs. The intense pain almost made him faint.
Fortunately, Gu Ran didn't intend to kill him, so the punch didn't injure his heart.
So he can still breathe, but with each breath he feels pain in his lungs.
With her hands behind her back, Gu Ran slowly walked up to the man with great interest, slightly warmed up her fists, and prepared to throw a second punch.
"You dare touch my people? You've got some nerve." Gu Ran raised her embroidered fist, ready to deliver the final blow.
The man's face was filled with terror: "You, you dare to kill me? I am..."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man descended from the sky, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit. He knelt on one knee beside the man who had transformed and said to Gu Ran:
“Miss Zhang, please have mercy. This time it was our young master’s fault for disturbing your friend. For the sake of our shared noble family background, please… show some leniency.”
"Oh, it seems you recognize me."
Gu Ran transformed into the black-dressed girl he had met in Siam, thinking that this woman's surname was indeed Zhang, and perhaps she was related to him.
Five minutes had passed by then, and his Sage Mode had been deactivated. However, he had only used Sage Mode to sense the power of nature and locate the caster.
Even without the power of a sage, he still has plenty of chakra, and after these days of training, his taijutsu has also improved considerably.
Gu Ran then put her hands behind her back, mimicking the girl in the black dress, and adopted a cool and aloof expression: "Who are you? Which family do you belong to?"
“We are from the Lü family,” the middle-aged man said. “This is Lü Yongbin, the grandson of the family head.”
Gu Ran sneered: "This isn't the first time you've done something like this, is it? You think that just because outsiders don't know and there's no evidence, no one will care? You think you can do whatever you want? Does that mean I can do whatever I want too?"
As he spoke, a large amount of chakra instantly gathered in his fist, and he angrily used Cherry Blossom Rush to slam his fist into the ground.
In an instant, the ground shattered, and rubble flew everywhere!
The alleyway is paved with cement, and one step could crush it; the force required is considerable!
As expected, it intimidated the two people in front of it.
Gu Ran thought to himself, "I've accidentally gone too far with my showing off. Tomorrow I need to ask the local street office for a donation to fix the road..."
The man in the Zhongshan suit was terrified. He had long heard that the second young lady of the Zhang family had excellent bloodline and amazing strength, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he had no experience.
This was the first time he had seen her take action. With a single punch, she had severely injured a mixed-race person, rendering him unable to move. This level of strength was extraordinary and beyond his ability to contend with.
Not to mention smashing the ground with a single punch...
The man in the Zhongshan suit forced a smile and said, "Miss Zhang... our two families have no conflict, and in fact, families of distinguished lineage have always been on good terms. I think this is just a misunderstanding..."
"Enough with the nonsense, this time... let's just pay up." Gu Ran said coldly.
"Huh?" The man in the Zhongshan suit was taken aback.
"Pay up, or you'll have to pay with your lives?" Gu Ran couldn't really kill this person. He still had to deal with powerful families in the country, and he didn't know who was in charge of those families yet.
Therefore, it's impossible to do anything to the Lü family.
That's the best we can do to get him to pay us some money.
"We'll pay, we'll pay!" The man in the Zhongshan suit breathed a sigh of relief. He had long heard that the eldest sister of the Zhang family was very greedy, and it turned out that the second sister was the same.
It's truly a case of "birds of a feather flock together."
"Let's settle for five million as compensation for emotional distress." Gu Ran took out a piece of paper with a bank card number written on it.
"Five million?" The man in the Zhongshan suit seemed surprised.
"Is five million a lot?" This time it was Gu Ran's turn to be confused. You know, the Zhang family in Chiang Mai, Siam, easily has a net worth of over a billion US dollars. Your family in China must have less, right?
Look at Caesar, every car he drives is a Veyron or Bugatti, each costing over seven million dollars. He doesn't even care if he crashes it.
"No... much." The man in the Zhongshan suit didn't say much, and finally agreed.
Because Gu Ran had transformed into a girl in a black dress, she maintained a cold expression on her face.
He infused chakra into the paper, transforming it into a sharp and hard paper shuriken, which shot out instantly.
Before the man in the Zhongshan suit could react, the note was already stuck in the ground where he was kneeling.
A second later, the piece of paper stuck in the ground softened and slowly bent over and fell down.
This move shocked him so much that his eyes widened in astonishment.
There are ancient legends about mixed-race masters who could pluck flowers and leaves with ease.
The Miss Zhang in front of me has actually reached that level. Not only can she shake the earth with a single punch, but she can also stick an ordinary piece of soft paper into the ground!
"The bank opens at 9:30. Remember to transfer the money before 10:00." After showing off this, Gu Ran walked back with his hands behind his back, and continued as he walked, "Remember, five million US dollars, not a penny less. You are allowed to settle at the RMB exchange rate. Recently, the RMB has been appreciating, so you can exchange more US dollars for less RMB. It's a bargain for you."
Gu Ran forgot that tomorrow is Saturday, and the banks will be closed... Even for special services, large transfers won't arrive until Monday.
The man in the Zhongshan suit, upon hearing that five million yuan had become five million US dollars, forgot to argue for a moment. He simply carefully pulled out the piece of paper stuck in the ground and put it away carefully.
Only then did he help up his son.
Lu Yongbin now has broken ribs, and the muscles in his upper body are sore that he feels pain all over his body when touched.
"Didn't they say only Su Xiaoqiang is off-limits? Why can't I touch Liu Miaomiao either... Damn it!" Lü Yongbin cursed in frustration.
Then came a violent coughing fit, almost coughing up his lungs.
The man in the Zhongshan suit remained silent. According to the laws of the time, no respectable woman could be touched. However, this young master of the Lü family had always been lawless. He used to be disciplined at home, but now that he had run away alone, he took advantage of his abilities and the lack of restraint, and began to do evil.
The man in the Zhongshan suit didn't say much, but immediately started having people contact their families.
Let the steward of the Lü family handle the rest.
Five million US dollars is no small sum.
Lü Yongbin knew that this would definitely alarm his family, and then he would be taken back to live a life of control.
I'm so unwilling to accept this. Why did I have to meet Zhang Wanjun? Why did she end up in Shanghai?
He had only succeeded once in all these days, and he was caught when he tried to do it a second time.
So hateful!
He doesn't agree!
But there's no use arguing; in the world of mixed-race people, strength reigns supreme.
If you can't win, if you lose, you have to accept it.
Neither the man in the Zhongshan suit nor Lü Yongbin disagreed on this point.
……
At the same time, at the top-floor clubhouse on the Bund in Shanghai.
Du Huimin is the manager of this club. Due to the abilities she gains from her bloodline, she only needs three hours of sleep a day to be full of energy.
That's why she was chosen by the club's owner to be the manager.
The top-floor clubhouse starts work at 9:00 AM, opens for business at 10:00 AM, and closes promptly at 10:30 PM every night. Employees leave work no later than 11:00 PM.
Du Huimin lives in the club's staff lounge, where there is a private suite for her.
During the club's operating hours, she is the manager, responsible for all matters, big and small, at the club.
At other times, she is the boss's secretary, helping him with other matters.
She goes to bed at 11:30 every night and gets up at 2:30. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she puts on her workout clothes and knocks on the door of another room.
The room was filled with all sorts of game consoles, from the Famicom to the latest PS3.
In front of the computer, a little girl wearing an oversized T-shirt was working hard. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate, small and round face. Although her eyes were focused on the screen, they were very lively.
The little girl is playing Dota in Warcraft III, using the hero Naga Siren.
Chapter 185 Family Management
The little girl's movements were quick and agile, and she quickly became a godlike player.
Du Huimin would then take the desserts that the pastry chef made before leaving get off work as a late-night snack and put a few on the girl's computer desk.
Then, she will help tidy up and clean the room.
Next, I brewed a good cup of coffee, turned on another computer in the room, and started handling some emails.
