Chapter 27

Fated

Guo Miao stepped on his face and the capsule in his mouth fell out. It must have been poison.

This was probably a poison to commit suicide after he was caught. The mastermind must have given it to him to prevent him from revealing who the latter was.

‘Oh my God, you’ve watched too many wuxia movies. In this era, you’re a death warrior assassin?’

Guo Miao turned on the light and took a closer look at the man’s face.

She had never seen this person before. She searched the man several times but found nothing except a knife, a magazine, and a rope.

Guo Miao knocked him out with a kick and set him aside, then rang the call bell.

Why did this person want to kill her?

She thought about the people she had offended, and none of them seemed to have the power to hire assassins here.

In that case, she would let Chengyue Hotel deal with this matter themselves.

There was a sudden knock on the door. She opened the door and saw that it was not a hotel worker but a young man with a kind face.

“Miss, is something going on here? I just heard the sound of fighting.”

Guo Miao narrowed her eyes at him. “This doesn’t seem to be something you should be concerned with. Just leave it to the hotel staff.”

She didn’t know this person either. Maybe they were in cahoots. She wanted to see what they were going to do to her.

“Yes, miss.” The man paused and nodded.

Suddenly, the door of the private room behind him opened, and a handsome man about 1.85 meters in height walked out.

The man exuded a kind of dignity and pride that no one dared to violate.

Guo Miao looked at him, her eyes moving together with his figure.

“I didn’t expect to see you here, Miss Guo Miao.”

“I didn’t expect this either, Fifth Lord.”

Her answer surprised the man a little. This girl actually knew him?

Tong Pei naturally recognized Guo Miao. His memory was excellent. He had caught a glimpse of her in the alley that day and remembered the appearance of this girl with formidable martial arts skills. He just didn’t expect to meet her again in the capital, which was thousands of miles away from Haicheng.

“How do you know who I am?”

“In the capital, there is no one who doesn’t know of the Fifth Lord.”

Guo Miao didn’t say anything and avoided his question.

“Since we’re fated to meet, can we go to your private room? I’ll treat you to a drink.”

Guo Miao nodded.

The young man on the side was Tong Pei’s assistant and also a family member. His name was Tong Huan.

When he heard Tong Pei’s words, he was a little shocked. The little girl in front of him looked like a high school student, yet the boss said he would treat her to a drink in the middle of the night.

What was going on?

The three of them walked into the room together. Looking at the unconscious man on the ground, the young man fell into deep thought again.

Could this little girl be the one who had beaten him up so badly?

Tong Huan glanced at Tong Pei. The man’s expression was calm without a trace of change.

“This person must be here to kill me, but his information is inaccurate, which is why he disturbed you, Miss Guo Miao. I shall bear all your expenses in this hotel tonight. Consider it my apology to you.”

Guo Miao nodded, understanding in her heart. According to Tong Pei’s style of doing things, he would naturally have many enemies in the capital, hence he was no stranger to being provoked by such a daring person.

“Alright,” she said.

“Miss Guo, since you have helped me this time, I’ll invite you to my place tomorrow night to thank you for helping me this time and for helping Tong Tong last time. I hope you can make it.”

Guo Miao nodded in agreement.

It was getting late, so she packed up her things and went back to her room. Tong Pei would naturally take care of things here, so she didn’t have to worry.

Tong Pei stood on the spot and looked at the house full of wolves in a daze.

Tong Huan suddenly had a premonition that his Fifth Lord might have some wonderful fate with this girl.

The next day, Guo Miao went to Beijing University early in the morning. She wanted to finish things today so that she could walk around the city for the rest of her time.

It was 7:30 A. M. When she arrived at Beijing University, there were already many people running and reciting in the morning.

These were indeed Beijing University students. Even in college, they were very hardworking.

Lin Chao and Li You were already waiting at the door. They said that the teacher from the computing center hadn’t arrived yet, so they couldn’t go in.

Lin Chao asked if they should go to his college laboratory and wait. Guo Miao nodded.

She also wanted to see what the laboratories of China’s top universities were like and how advanced technology had been.

The three of them heard a heavy sigh as soon as they reached the entrance of the laboratory.
