79 I Can Make You Win, and I Can Also Make You Lose
“Mom, I have to take a call first.”
With that, Lu Ning turned around and went out to answer the call.
Lu Ning trotted to a window at the far end of the floor before answering the phone.
This caller was really persistent; if no one answered, he would simply continue calling again.
Finally, on their third attempt, Lu Ning picked up.
The person on the other end of the call was unused to this and did not speak up for a long time.
After taking a long time, with some reservation the caller remarked, “It went through?”
Lu Ning did not say anything. From the voice, it was not that person.
The other party came to their senses. “Big Brother! The call went through!”
The voice was ecstatic, and it was mixed with some noise. He must have run over.
Soon, another man took the call.
“Brat, finally willing to answer the phone?”
Lu Ning spun around and leaned against the railing by the window, facing the quiet corridor.
She lowered her voice and went straight to the point.
“I know why you’re looking for me. I’ll work with you, but I want half of everything. Also, don’t you ever show up in my life; and everything must be according to my schedules and arrangements.”
The other party sneered. “Kid, don’t push your luck.”
Lu Ning’s lips curved into a grin. “Promise me that, and we’ll work together. If you can’t promise me that, then don’t bother to contact me again.”
In every unequal relationship, the side begging for a favor would always be at the other’s mercy, no matter how tough they acted.
Lu Ning was very decisive—after stating her terms, she hung up the phone, not giving the other party any time to respond.
Five seconds later, the phone rang again.
Lu Ning picked it up. The man’s emotionless voice came from the phone. “I agree.”
Lu Ning smirked. “We’ll start tomorrow night, I’ll send the schedule to your phone.”
However, the other party still continued to argue with her. He growled, “Tonight. You’ve already caused me to miss a lot of rounds.”
Lu Ning was not in a hurry. She supported herself with the railing and slouched.
“Don’t you understand a thing? You’re the one who needs my help now. It wasn’t because of me that you missed so many rounds; you simply had to give them a pass because you don’t have the confidence to win.
“However, you made a wise choice. Rather than losing, why not simply stand back and watch from the sidelines?”
“You damn brat, watching from the sidelines is no different from losing.”
Lu Ning remained calm. “I guarantee that you’ll win every round you participate in in the future.” Her tone and gaze were filled with unshakable confidence.
At the end, she added coolly, “So, don’t provoke me, don’t pull any tricks, and don’t screw up my demands. I can make you win, and I can also make you lose.”
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and hung up.
Her gaze fell on Lu Qing, who had walked out of the ward.
Lu Qing watched as she hung up the phone, and walked over.
“You…”
Only a single word left his mouth when Lu Ning looked away, ignoring him. She was about to leave.
“Hold it.”
Lu Ning continued to pay him no attention and kept walking.
Lu Qing chased after her and grabbed her wrist.
Lu Ning was forced to stop in her tracks; she looked down at the wrist he had grabbed.
When she looked up at Lu Qing again, she saw uneasiness flitting in his eyes.
“There’s something I want to explain to you.”
Yesterday, he received an anonymous email which shed light on the entire process of how Lu Ning’s injury came about.
Actually, the school’s surveillance cameras were already fixed and the figures of those who hurt her had been caught on tape. There was even an audio recording attached to the email, which effectively spelled out who those people were and why they had hurt Lu Ning; the gist of it was that they did it to please Lù Yue’an.
Lu Qing was completely at a loss after looking through it. However, he had been unable to find a suitable opportunity to tell Lu Ning. As a matter of fact, he did not actually know how to bring it up, so he kept procrastinating.
