Chapter 1142: Her Rib and Her Bottom Line
Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Her Rib and Her Bottom Line
To ease Linda’s confusion, Gu Jin sat next to her and changed the subject, "Your nail polish doesn’t have a pungent smell. It actually smells quite nice to me."
Linda’s eyes lit up, and she suggested, "Miss Gu, let me paint your nails too. Your skin is very fair, and this color would suit you perfectly."
Gu Jin had never applied nail polish in this life, so she didn’t refuse Linda’s suggestion.
"Sure, but I’m clumsy, so I’ll leave it to you."
She extended her hand towards Linda.
A smile appeared on Linda’s exotic face, and she spoke respectfully and sincerely, "It’s my honor."
Linda’s hands were very steady, and she quickly painted both of Gu Jin’s crystal-clear nails with a bright red color.
The red nail polish truly suited Gu Jin. Her skin was naturally fair, and her slender jade-like fingers looked even more beautiful with this bright color.
Moreover, red is versatile and enhances the fairness, bringing out Gu Jin’s girlish charm.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
The house’s landline rang.
Gu Jin had just applied nail polish, and it hadn’t dried yet, so she couldn’t answer the phone.
She said to Linda, "Answer it, see who it is."
Gu Jin’s eyes were fixed on the landline, with an indifferent expression, but she was slightly expectant inside.
She thought to herself, could it be An Mingji calling?
Linda answered the phone, and from her expression while taking the call, Gu Jin knew that this call was not from An Mingji.
Whenever Linda, Kasi, Allen, and others faced An Mingji, they looked at him as if he were their deity. Their expressions and inner admiration made it clear at a glance.
At this moment, Linda showed no expression, with a businesslike attitude.
Gu Jin turned her gaze away, a hint of disappointment flashed in her heart.
However, it quickly dissipated.
She knew that An Mingji would definitely come out of Death Valley; it was only a matter of time.
Gu Jin blew on her nails, disliking the long waiting time, she used her spiritual power to dry the nail polish.
Meanwhile, Linda had already hung up the phone.
Without lifting her head, Gu Jin asked, "Who was it?"
Linda frowned lightly, "Miss Gu, it was a call for Mr. Gu Jiajie, but it wasn’t him personally. It seems Mr. Gu was beaten up at Night Paradise."
She sounded a bit unsure about it.
"What?!"
Upon knowing the call wasn’t from An Mingji, Gu Jin lost interest and didn’t use her spiritual power to listen to the conversation on the phone.
Hearing that her cousin got beaten, she immediately stood up.
"Call back and find out clearly!"
Linda promptly dialed the previous caller back, but the line was busy.
She showed an apologetic expression towards Gu Jin, "It seemed like the caller had dialed wrong; they said to bring people to Night Paradise because their boss was beaten up.
Then they said a few more vague words, the surrounding environment was chaotic, crashing sounds rang out, and the call was cut off. I guess the phone was broken in the chaos."
This was certainly not good news.
Gu Jin picked up the phone on the table and directly called the manager of Night Paradise.
In recent years, Qiu Qianghai had become increasingly lax in managing Night Paradise and Omo Automobile Company.
It had been a long time since she’d seen Qiu Qianghai, and now Night Paradise was entirely managed by Li Qingfeng.
As soon as Li Qingfeng’s phone was connected, Gu Jin immediately spoke without waiting for him to say anything, "Manager Li, immediately find out which private room Gu Jiajie is in at Night Paradise. He’s in trouble now, take people over to assist him, and don’t let anyone hurt him before I arrive!"
Li Qingfeng was very surprised to receive a call from Gu Jin. Hearing her words, his face changed dramatically, and he hurried into action.
"I’m going upstairs to take a look right away!"
Gu Jin returned to her room to change clothes, and she hadn’t hung up the phone: "Are there any unfamiliar faces at Night Paradise today?"
In her view, almost all the regular patrons at Night Paradise knew of the close relationship between the owner of Shi Jiu Entertainment Company and the owner of Night Paradise.
They wouldn’t dare to touch Gu Jiajie unless they had a death wish.
Besides, it’s the newcomers, who don’t know Gu Jiajie’s identity, that started the trouble.
And she herself was more inclined to the latter.
Li Qingfeng quickly understood the implication in Gu Jin’s words.
He recalled the guests tonight and swiftly said, "It seems like it’s the son of a bureau in Baiyun City and a few playboys. Their private room is on the same floor as Mr. Gu’s."
Gu Jin said coldly, "Hurry up! Don’t let anyone touch my cousin! I’ll be there soon!"
"Okay, rest assured!"
After changing clothes, Gu Jin found Linda already had the departure team ready.
An Mingji had left her two Darwin Family superpower squads, ready to obey her orders.
Now that Gu Jin was going out, these teams were bound to follow to ensure her safety.
As Gu Jin got into the car, Duoduo suddenly jumped in.
It lay beneath the seat, its azure eyes staring intently at Gu Jin.
Knowing it wanted to follow, Gu Jin didn’t want to waste any more time, closed the car door, and instructed the driver to start driving.
The convoy sped quickly along the way.
Inside the car.
Gu Jin tapped Duoduo’s head with her finger, her voice stern, "I’m going out to handle matters, don’t cause trouble!"
"How-how—"
Duoduo wagged its tail joyfully, gave a low growl, seeming to respond to her.
Along the way, Gu Jin’s heart was on edge.
Over the years, Gu Jiajie had been mixing well in the Beijing circle, never having difficulties from any major families or business figures.
Now, he was bullied by someone, making Gu Jin rather furious.
If An Mingji was her untouchable rib, then family was her bottom line.
She only hoped that this group of ignorant people hadn’t done anything too reckless today, otherwise...
Gu Jin narrowed her cold eyes, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.
Night Paradise.
Under the escort of Linda and others, Gu Jin stepped into the doors of Night Paradise, with a hulking creature at her side.
It was the increasingly fierce Duoduo, surrounded by many strangers; its azure eyes released a ferocious light, as if ready to bite anyone it didn’t like.
Along the way, it frightened quite a few people into retreating repeatedly.
Li Qingfeng was waiting at the entrance, and upon seeing her, he immediately approached.
However, when he saw the ferocious White Wolf beside Gu Jin, his steps slightly faltered.
Gu Jin quickly walked over and asked, "Manager Li, where’s the person?"
Duoduo followed her, not baring its teeth at Li Qingfeng, and when Gu Jin stopped, it squatted on the spot, looking rather obedient.
Li Qingfeng sighed in slight relief and said, "Miss Gu, they’re upstairs, and Mr. Gu has suffered some injuries."
Gu Jin, already looking displeased, turned even more grim upon hearing this.
"Are the injuries severe?"
Li Qingfeng hesitated, unsure of how to put it, "You’ll know when you see for yourself."
He led Gu Jin upstairs to a certain open private room, with a respectful tone, "Miss Gu, please, go in."
Gu Jin entered the room, taking in the entire scene.
The confrontation between both sides inside was still clearly visible.
Moreover, everyone was bruised.
