Stars covered the sky as darkness fell.
In the bedroom, Gu Chenan finally stopped after their passionate encounter.
Both of them were covered in sweat, breathing heavily.
Su Qianmo lay motionless under the covers, her eyes misty, while Gu Chenan casually picked up his phone to find several missed calls from Lin Mei.
He cleared his throat and called her back.
"Hello, Mom, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You tell me what's wrong! You're really something, aren't you? Don't you know who Liu Dong is? How dare you hit his daughter?"
"And that Li Lin, he's a real ruthless character, did you even think about the consequences of beating him up like that?"
Lin Mei questioned as soon as the call connected.
Gu Chenan scratched the back of his head: "Mom, you already know about that?"
"Not just me, the whole of Magic City knows!" Lin Mei said anxiously: "Your father just called Liu Dong to plead for mercy, but Liu Dong said he'd collect your corpse tomorrow. Liu Wan even threatened to deal with your father too."
"Quick, pack your things and leave Magic City with Qianmo to lay low..."
Before Lin Mei could finish, Gu Chenan angrily interrupted: "Liu Wan really said that?"
Lin Mei hesitated: "Never mind what they said, just listen to your mother and pack quickly. Liu Dong is not someone to be trifled with, you need to leave."
"No need, Mom. You and Dad don't need to worry, I have a way to handle this," Gu Chenan said.
"You have a way? What way? Don't think you're safe just because Qianmo is the CEO of Caiying. Liu Dong has done this kind of thing many times before, he clearly isn't..."
"Mom, stop talking. You and Dad just need to relax."
"Chenan, listen to your mother and leave quickly. There's still time if you leave now, if..." Lin Mei's voice was extremely anxious, even carrying a hint of pleading.
In her view, Gu Chenan was no match for Liu Dong at all.
As soon as tomorrow came, Liu Dong would surely come to deal with him.
However, Gu Chenan didn't take it seriously at all.
Tomorrow would be when his background loading would complete. No matter how his background manifested, a mere local gangster like Liu Dong couldn't possibly harm Gu Chenan.
In fact, even without his background, Liu Dong's men combined would be no match for Gu Chenan, who possessed the Primordial One Qi Exercise.
"Mom, don't worry. Since Liu Wan dared to threaten Dad, I'll definitely make her pay the price. As for Liu Dong, he can't do anything to me. Although I don't know how to explain it to you, your son isn't as simple as you think," Gu Chenan said after some thought.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and leave with Qianmo!" Lin Mei didn't believe him at all.
He couldn't blame Lin Mei; nobody would believe such a thing.
Liu Dong was Magic City's local kingpin, while Gu Chenan was just an ordinary person who had graduated from university two years ago. There was no comparison between them.
Seeing that he couldn't convince Lin Mei, Gu Chenan could only say: "Alright, I understand."
"Don't just say you understand, do it quickly! If Liu Dong really comes for you, you'll be in grave danger!" Lin Mei said anxiously.
"Mm-hmm, okay." Gu Chenan nodded and hung up the phone.
He knew there was no point trying to explain to Lin Mei now; she wouldn't believe him anyway.
Once his background loaded tomorrow, he wouldn't fear Liu Dong even if he came looking for trouble!
"What's wrong, Chenan?"
At this moment, Su Qianmo stretched her foot out from under the covers and gently kicked Gu Chenan. He turned to look and saw her face flushed red.
"Nothing." He shook his head and crawled back under the covers.
"Again?!" Su Qianmo was shocked.
......
The next afternoon.
In the office of Golden Luxury KTV.
Liu Dong looked at the fierce warriors before him and snarled: "Bring your weapons this time, take direct action, and show no mercy, understand?"
The leader facing him was a bald man named Wang Hu, who like Li Lin was one of Liu Dong's right-hand men.
Now that Li Lin was seriously injured, only he could handle this matter.
But unlike Li Lin who only brought five or six men, this time Wang Hu had gathered all available men, with over twenty tough guys ready for action!
"Understood, Boss Liu!" Wang Hu nodded: "That Gu Chenan dared to make you lose face, we brothers won't let him off!"
"Good!" Liu Dong stood up and said: "Go now, straight to Caiying!"
"Yes."
Meanwhile, at Caiying.
"Host's background has been successfully loaded!"
Hearing the system's voice in his mind, Gu Chenan's body trembled.
He first looked at his body, then glanced around, but couldn't see anything different.
"Wait, where did it load to? I don't see anything different?" Gu Chenan asked puzzled.
Just as he spoke these words, the office door suddenly opened.
He looked up and was shocked.
"Ma- Ma Bing?"
The newcomer was none other than Ma Bing, Gu Chenan's personal bodyguard from the novel and one of the strongest characters in the early story!
"Young Master Gu!"
Ma Bing respectfully nodded to Gu Chenan. As Gu Chenan stood up intending to greet Ma Bing, a flood of memories suddenly poured into his mind like a rushing river.
He was stunned.
He had now become the young master of the mysterious Gu Family hidden in Magic City.
The power of this Gu Family, if not identical to the one in the novel, was certainly comparable.
The Gu Family controlled half of Magic City's business empire!
However, strangely, while Gu Chenan had become the Gu Family's young master, his parents remained ordinary people running a small shop.
"System, this isn't right, shouldn't my parents have become the head of the Gu Family and his wife?"
"Host only brought back your own background, it doesn't affect others."
"Huh?" Gu Chenan was stunned: "It can work like that?"
But it didn't matter, since he had become the Gu Family's young master, wouldn't his parents naturally become the family head and his wife?
Gu Chenan came back to his senses and looked at Ma Bing: "Why are you here?"
Ma Bing was surprised: "Young Master, didn't you say to bring men to Miss Su's company?"
"Hmm?"
Gu Chenan stroked his chin suspiciously.
It seemed his background included Ma Bing as his personal bodyguard, and if so, did all those bodyguards from the Gu Family in the novel exist now too?
Thinking of this, Gu Chenan opened his phone's contact list.
Sure enough!
Not only was Ma Bing's number there, but also the butler's and several other bodyguards he knew!
Understanding this, Gu Chenan tentatively asked: "Didn't I say why I wanted you to bring people?"
Ma Bing replied puzzled: "Because of Liu Dong."
"Yes, that's right."
Gu Chenan nodded, calculating in his mind again.
It seemed after loading the background, the system had also merged his current situation with the background.
Hmm, had to say, the system had done a good job this time.
"Young Master, I was worried bringing men up would disturb Miss Su's work, so all the bodyguards are waiting in the parking lot."
"How many men did you bring?" Gu Chenan asked.
"About a dozen or so," Ma Bing said.
"That's enough." Gu Chenan smiled: "Now we'll see some real action."
