"Is it him?"
Upon hearing Zhang Jing's words, Director Liu's face instantly turned ashen.
He had prepared the transfer orders, and he wasn't surprised at all that Ning Hongzhuang had fully recovered and returned to the unit. He obviously knew that someone had cured Ning Hongzhuang.
Besides Zhang Jing, no one else had told him this.
Zhang Jing told Director Liu that Ning Hongzhuang had a master by her side who had removed the Gu worms from her body.
However, Director Liu never expected this person to be Shen Lang, a seemingly strong but simple-minded fool.
"Jingjing, why are you injured?"
Director Liu was stunned by Zhang Jing's words, but what shocked him even more was why Zhang Jing suddenly flew out, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground severely injured.
"The Gu worm I released earlier is called the Soul Devouring Gu, which I specifically use to control others. These Gu worms are nourished by my heart's blood. They are dead, and my primordial spirit is severely injured. If I hadn't forcibly protected my primordial spirit, I would be dead by now."
Zhang Jing looked at Director Liu, her face extremely grim, and said, "I cannot cast Gu on others for a period of time, nor can I protect myself."
"This..."
Hearing Zhang Jing's words, Director Liu's face turned ugly. He never expected this outcome and was at a loss for words.
At this moment, Director Liu saw that Ning Hongzhuang had completely recovered and her face was filled with anger. "Liu Xiong, you really are a scumbag! No, you are a shameless old scumbag."
"I never thought you would not only have an affair with female employees but also be so vile. How can someone like you be fit to hold this position?"
Having said that, Ning Hongzhuang looked at Shen Lang with gratitude and said, "Shen Lang, thank you for saving me again."
"You're welcome. Remember to pay extra next time."
Shen Lang looked at Ning Hongzhuang and smiled. "The Soul Devouring Gu is very difficult to remove. I used a lot of my essence and spirit to remove it for you just now. You need to compensate me well."
"How will you compensate me?"
Ning Hongzhuang heard this and smiled, "By kissing you again?"
"That... is not necessary. Just give me money."
Shen Lang smiled. "Compared to soft and fragrant jade, I prefer gold and silver treasures. Forgive me, I'm just that vulgar."
"Shen Lang, you are truly unappreciative. However, I like your personality."
Ning Hongzhuang shot Shen Lang a glance and said, "Whether you want it or not, I will repay you."
With that, Ning Hongzhuang stepped forward and kissed Shen Lang on the cheek.
"Alas, a beautiful woman, yet so unrestrained."
Shen Lang looked at Ning Hongzhuang and sighed, "I'm a pure young man, and sometimes I get taken advantage of. Is there any justice in this world?"
"You're getting the benefit and still complaining. That's pure scumbag behavior."
Ning Hongzhuang looked at Shen Lang and said, "Last time you saved me, I kissed you as a reward. This time, I kissed you again. What a wonderful thing! You must be beaming with joy right now."
"Although I don't like surfing the internet, I know that I, a beautiful host of Nanning TV's financial news, am called 'wife' by many. Many people secretly admire me. You were kissed by me twice, so you should be happy."
"Being kissed by Ning Hongzhuang, and twice at that, this is something you can brag about for a lifetime."
"Is there anything to brag about?"
Shen Lang heard this and said, "A group of people chase a ball on a football field, is it because they really love football?"
"No, the purpose of a group of people chasing a ball is ultimately to shoot."
Shen Lang looked at Ning Hongzhuang and smiled, "I shot twice on the field and scored two goals. Should I thank the ball?"
"You scoundrel, you have no sense of propriety at all."
Ning Hongzhuang heard this and looked at Shen Lang, saying, "No wonder you've gotten into so much romantic trouble. With your personality, it's not surprising you'd have a lot of romantic debts."
"However, how should they be dealt with?"
Ning Hongzhuang looked at Director Liu and the injured Zhang Jing, with no answer in her heart, and asked Shen Lang.
"They Gu-ed you, and except for a few of us, no one else would believe it. If you tell others, they'll just think you're talking nonsense."
Shen Lang looked at Ning Hongzhuang and smiled. "Since we can't hand them over to the Martial Guard, let's have a good chat."
Shen Lang walked step by step towards Director Liu and said, "My name is Shen Lang. Give me some face and stop making things difficult for Ning Hongzhuang from now on, how about it?"
"Okay, of course, okay."
Director Liu nodded rapidly, like a chick pecking at rice. "Today's matter ends here. I will absolutely not make things difficult for Ning Hongzhuang in the future, nor will I have any improper thoughts about her."
"Will you still transfer her to the Northeast to film wild animals?"
Shen Lang was quite satisfied with Director Liu's attitude and said playfully.
"No... no... After she returns to work, she will remain in her original position. There will be no changes to this, you can rest assured."
Director Liu raised his right hand and solemnly promised.
There was no other way. This Shen Lang was too strange. He could even undo Zhang Jing's Gu. Director Liu didn't dare to resist stubbornly and could only think of revenge later.
He'd agree for now and find a chance to kill him later.
This was what Director Liu thought, and Zhang Jing thought the same.
After hearing Director Liu's words, Zhang Jing also followed suit and guaranteed, "Don't worry, I will never target Hongzhuang Sister again, nor will I poison and harm her."
"I believe you are both telling the truth. Thank you."
After hearing Director Liu and Zhang Jing's words, Shen Lang said with a smile.
"However..."
At this point, Shen Lang's tone changed abruptly.
"What do you want?"
Sensing that Shen Lang's next words were ill-intentioned, Director Liu and Zhang Jing said with vigilance.
"Don't speak to me in that tone, as if I have any malicious intentions."
Shen Lang looked at them and said, "You plotted against Ning Hongzhuang, and I not only didn't expose your true colors but also believed that you would not harm her again. Since I trust you so much, you should give me a guarantee, right?"
"It's like when you take out a loan from a bank, you still need to provide collateral. That's how you avoid a crisis of trust, right?"
Saying this, Shen Lang took out a black bottle from his pocket, poured out two pills from the bottle, and tossed the two pills to Zhang Jing and Director Liu.
"These two black pills are called Intestine-Breaking Pills. On the night of every full moon, the poisoned person will suffer excruciating pain as if their liver and intestines are breaking. Only my specially made antidote can cure the poison."
"If you take the Intestine-Breaking Pills, I will give you the antidote once a month. As long as you don't have any intentions of harming Ning Hongzhuang within a year, I will completely detoxify you."
"You have thirty seconds to consider. Tell me the result when you've made up your mind. Remember, my patience is limited, and this is your only chance."
