The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 116: Lure the snake out of its hole, big footprints next to small footprints on the beach

Gu Xinliang stepped into the gate of Jiangnan University again. At that moment, his mood was as surging as the surging river water.

That familiar school gate seemed to open the floodgates of time, instantly bringing his thoughts back to that youthful school days.

He stood there, his eyes wandering over the busy students. Those young faces and hurried footsteps made him feel a long-lost sense of familiarity.

An indescribable emotion surged in Gu Xinliang's heart.

He did not linger for long because he knew his mission.

Gu Xinliang quickly put on the white coat, put on gloves, and concentrated on the experiment.

His hands operated the instrument quickly, and every movement seemed so skillful and precise.

Gu Xinliang decided to fill all the gaps in his work at night so that he could get into the state as soon as possible and be fully prepared for the next experiment.

In this busy laboratory, he found his own world.

Gu Xinliang immersed himself in this world, enjoying the sense of accomplishment brought by every experiment.

Su Chenjin was like a very dry sponge, eagerly craving for the sweet rain of knowledge.

Every detail of life is captured by her with keen insight, turning into the source of new knowledge for her.

The library and study room became Su Chenjin's most familiar battlefields.

There, her figure is always busy and determined, sometimes studying hard, sometimes writing furiously.

Su Chenjin's eyes sparkle with a desire for knowledge, and her pen tips flow with her persistence in her dreams.

Night slowly fell like a huge piece of black velvet, shrouding the sky in deep darkness.

The lights in the cafeteria seem even brighter against the dark background, like stars twinkling in the night.

Under the light, bustling figures are moving around in the cafeteria, some sitting, some standing, some laughing, some talking, forming a vivid picture full of life.

The aromas of various dishes intertwine in the air, forming waves of tempting smells that make people salivate.

The rich aroma of braised pork, the deliciousness of steamed fish, the refreshing taste of spicy and sour shredded potatoes... these flavors mixed together, like a wonderful symphony, playing in the cafeteria.

However, in this noisy and lively scene, Su Chenjin seemed a little uneasy.

Her eyes moved among the crowd, but she could not catch sight of that familiar figure - Gu Xinliang.

An inexplicable worry surged in Su Chenjin's heart, as if something was gently plucking her heartstrings, making her unable to sit still.

She recalled the last time she met Gu Xinliang during the day, his furrowed brows and slightly tired figure when he hurried away.

She walked through the bustling crowd and out of the cafeteria door.

The cool night breeze gently brushed her cheeks, taking away a trace of anxiety in her heart.

Su Chenjin took a deep breath of fresh air, then walked towards the department building with firm steps.

She wanted to go find Gu Xinliang in person to see how he was doing now!
In the night where moonlight and neon lights intertwined, Su Chenjin walked alone through the bustling and noisy campus crowd.

The brightly lit campus paths were crowded with people, students walking in groups of three or five, some talking and laughing loudly, some hurrying on their way.

However, she seemed to be walking alone in a silent dream, and all the noise could not invade her world.

The night breeze blew gently, bringing with it the freshness and coolness of the night, gently caressing the ends of her hair, like a pair of gentle hands combing away the traces of time.

Su Chenjin raised his head slightly, feeling the tenderness from the night, and the fatigue in his heart seemed to be gently taken away by the breeze.

Finally, she arrived at the department building that was familiar yet unfamiliar.

The lights in the building shone through the windows outside, forming a warm and bright light, like a bright lamp in the dark night, guiding her forward.

Su Chenjin stopped and felt the tranquility and peace from the campus.

She gently pushed open the door of the department building, and a whole new world appeared before her.

The building was quiet, with only the occasional sound of turning pages and low conversations, like whispers in the night, adding a bit of mystery and anticipation.

Su Chenjin walked slowly to the door of Gu Xinliang's office. The tightly closed door was like a solid barrier, separating the two worlds and making everything inside the door mysterious.

The room was pitch black, as if all light and sound were swallowed up by the endless darkness, which made people feel awe.

She stopped in front of the door, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her inner tension and anticipation.

Su Chenjin raised her slender fingers and gently knocked on the heavy wooden door. Every crisp knock echoed in the silent corridor.

The night was quiet, and even my mood suddenly calmed down.

The waiting time seemed to be stretched countless times, and every second seemed so long.

Su Chenjin stood quietly, with ripples in his heart.

At this moment, she saw Gu Xinliang's face looming in the darkness, like an unfinished sketch, full of mystery and depth.

His face looked even more resolute in the darkness
Gu Xinliang raised his head and looked outside the door through the darkness.

At that moment, their eyes met, and an inexplicable feeling passed between them, settling, and flowing again.

Gu Xinliang stretched out his hand and pressed lightly, and the lights in the office lit up instantly.

The bright light was like a sharp sword, splitting the darkness and illuminating everything around it clearly.

The light shone on Su Chenjin's face, reflecting her gentle yet firm outline.

Her eyes sparkled with a bright light that seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles.

Gu Xinliang sat behind his desk, his deep eyes filled with an indescribable emotion, so quiet that even time seemed to be silent.

They just stared at each other silently across the door, in the interweaving of light and shadow.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everything around became blurry and distant.

Their hearts were filled with complex emotions, including anticipation and nervousness, doubt and trust.

Gu Xinliang slowly raised his head, with an indescribable confusion flashing in his eyes.

He looked at Su Chenjin who suddenly appeared in front of him and asked softly, "Xiaojin, why did you suddenly come to visit? Did you bring any important news?"

Su Chenjin frowned slightly and thought for a moment. Her tone was a little nervous and anxious, "Is that guy Xing Miao doing something secretly again?"

Gu Xinliang shook his head slightly, frowning, as if he was thinking deeply. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "There is no definite news yet, but his assistant did come here. I'm afraid this is..."

Su Chenjin seemed to understand what he meant instantly. She took over the conversation, her tone revealing a kind of determination, "Is this his plan to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Gu Xinliang nodded slightly, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, as if he had already seen through some unknown secrets.

"You're right." He said softly, with a hint of depth in his voice. "However, I heard that Jiangnan Medicinal Materials has been in turmoil recently."

Su Chenjin frowned, as if thinking about the deeper meaning of Gu Xinliang's words.

"Are you talking about the joint protest by the distributors of Jiangnan medicinal materials?" she asked tentatively, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Gu Xinliang nodded slightly, his eyes seemed to penetrate the darkness and reach the essence of things.

"After hitting a wall with Chen Shanshan, Xing Miao will never give up."

He paused, as if thinking about what might happen next, "I'm wondering, after Chen Shanshan leaves, who will be his next target?"

Su Chenjin took a deep breath and his eyes became firm and resolute.

“It’s a really tough question.”

She admitted, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "We are now in a passive position. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Director Gu, how do you think we should respond?"

Gu Xinliang was silent for a moment, as if weighing various possible strategies.

His face looked even more profound in the dim light. "What we can do now," he finally spoke, his voice low and firm, "is to wait and see what happens. Let's see what Xing Miao will do next."

Gu Xinliang's tone revealed a calmness and confidence, as if he was ready to deal with any changes.

The morning light of the second day was like a shy girl, gently lifting the veil of night and spreading soft sunlight all over the earth.

Gu Xinliang had packed everything up. He glanced at Su Chenjin beside him with a firm and steady look. "Xiaojin, come with me to the countryside today."

His voice is like the melody flowing from a guqin, melodious and profound.

Su Chenjin nodded, and the two got on the bus to the countryside and arrived at the village an hour later.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the two walked side by side, crossed the village path, and came to the vast area called Mingsha Beach.

This will be where they will be stationed this time, and also the stage for them to display their medical skills and treat the villagers.

A simple tent was set up at the entrance of the village, which became their temporary clinic.

With his superb medical skills, Gu Xinliang is like a swordsman walking on the edge of life and death, holding a life-saving sword in his hand to cut off the entanglement of illness.

He carefully diagnosed the condition of every villager, and no matter it was an external injury or an internal disease, it could all be properly treated under his skillful hands.

Su Chenjin assisted from the side. She skillfully delivered the herbs and tools, and occasionally offered some unique insights, which made Gu Xinliang look at her with admiration.

Busy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already noon.

Gu Xinliang and Su Chenjin hurriedly finished their lunch and then headed towards the Mingsha Beach at the same time.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun was like a drunken painter, splashing golden paint and dyeing the entire beach golden.

The sand grains sparkled in the afterglow, like countless tiny diamonds, forming a golden band of light on the beach.

The two of them strolled in it, feeling the delicate touch under their feet, as if they were in a dreamlike world.

Su Chenjin walked side by side with Gu Xinliang, and the scenery along the way quietly flowed between the two.

She was filled with emotion and said softly, "Director Gu, this is my fourth time accompanying you on a rural medical visit. Every time, this land brings me new inspiration and gains."

Hearing this, Gu Xinliang turned his head and responded with a smile: "Xiao Jin, there is still a long way to go in the future, and there will naturally be countless opportunities like this. I hope that you can continue to hone yourself on this path and become an excellent doctor with superb medical skills and a heart for the people as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Su Chenjin straightened her chest and said confidently: "Director Gu, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations, work hard to improve myself, and bring hope and warmth to more patients."

Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind, and she remembered an important detail. She looked at Gu Xinliang, and said with a hint of urgency: "Director Gu, I received a call from Dean Chen Fangyu this morning. He mentioned that the situation at Jiangnan Medicinal Materials is quite tricky and more complicated than we expected."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinliang couldn't help but frown slightly, as if he was thinking about a countermeasure.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Since Xing Miao wants to lure the enemy, then we should turn defense into offense and catch the turtle in the jar. In this contest, let's see who has more patience."

Su Chenjin nodded gently, with a helpless look on his face: "I have followed all the arrangements made by Dean Chen. I really didn't expect that there would be such a big mess at Jiangnan Medicinal Materials."

Gu Xinliang gave her a soothing look and said softly, "This is not your fault. Anyone else who goes to handle the matter over there may encounter similar problems in the complex environment of Jiangnan Medicinal Materials. You have done a good job. Let me handle the rest."

Gu Xinliang's steps were firm and calm. He walked in front, and his back looked particularly steady in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Su Chenjin followed him silently, her steps light, as if she was afraid to break this rare tranquility.

The shadows of the two people were lengthened by the setting sun, leaving two long marks on the beach, and a beautiful flowing picture unfolded on this tranquil coastline.

The gentle sea breeze came quietly, it seemed to have some magical power, passing silently across the sea surface, bringing the light salty taste of the sea water and the hazy and mysterious temptation in the distance.

The sea breeze gently blows the grass on the beach, and the grass makes a rustling sound, like the whisper of nature, telling the secrets of this coast.

On this tranquil and charming coastline, Gu Xinliang's broad and heavy footprints and Su Chenjin's small but delicate footprints are like two beautiful melodies, intertwining and echoing each other.

They jumped silently on the beach like two beating hearts, recording unforgettable moments.

Gu Xinliang's big footprints seem to carry the weight and strength of the earth, steady and powerful, just like his firm and profound character.

Su Chenjin's little footprints appear light and agile, like an elf dancing, showing her lively and lovely nature.

The world around us seems to be gently embraced by the afterglow of the sunset.

The sea breeze blows gently, carrying the salty taste of sea water and a faint fish fragrance; the beach is soft and delicate, as if it is the gentle caress of nature; everything becomes so peaceful and beautiful.

The sea breeze, the beach, the footprints, and the couple walking side by side are warm and beautiful.

The afterglow of the setting sun slants across the campus of Jiangnan University, adding a touch of warmth and vitality to this quiet institution of higher learning.

Gu Xinliang and Su Chenjin finished their off-campus affairs early, walked briskly through the familiar path in the campus, and returned to this world full of youthful atmosphere.

However, in this warm atmosphere, a sudden storm quietly descended. Xing Miao, who had just entered Jiangnan University, was looking forward to starting his university life, but was suddenly caught off guard by a letter of mass supervision.

The letter was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in Xing Miao's heart.

He opened the envelope with shaking hands, and lines of glaring words came into his eyes. Those rumors and accusations about his past, like cold rain, mercilessly extinguished the flame in his heart.

Xing Miao, who was originally full of confidence and expectations, now seemed to be in darkness.

The smile of the past disappeared from Xing Miao's face, replaced by deep shock and helplessness.

He stood there, letting the storm roll in, unable to find a chance of escape.

Xing Miao hurriedly jumped out of the familiar black car, and the car door slammed shut with a crisp sound.

His steps were hurried and firm, but he had no time to pay attention to the surrounding scenery, nor did he notice the pedestrians who hurried past him.

Xing Miao had only one thought in his mind, which was to get to the medical school building as soon as possible and find Gu Xinliang.

He walked through the familiar tree-lined path, with tall sycamore trees on both sides. The leaves swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.

The sunlight shines on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow.

Xing Miao's heartbeat gradually quickened as his pace quickened, as if an invisible hand was tapping gently on his chest.

Finally, he arrived in front of the medical school building. He looked up and saw the towering building gleaming in the sun, a solemn and majestic palace.

He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then walked in.

People were coming and going in the corridor. Students were either gathered in groups of three or five to discuss topics, or rushing to the classroom alone.

Xing Miao walked through the noisy crowd and headed towards Gu Xinliang's office with a determined look.

When he walked to that quiet corner, his eyes suddenly met a familiar figure.

That was Gu Xinliang. He was sitting on a bench with a thick book in his hands. His brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Xing Miao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated at this moment. He felt as if he was attracted by a powerful magnetic field and walked towards Gu Xinliang uncontrollably.

He tried to regulate his breathing, trying to make himself look calmer.

When he walked in front of Gu Xinliang, he spoke, trying to keep his voice calm: "Director Gu, hello."

Gu Xinliang raised his head, his eyes stayed on Xing Miao for a moment, then nodded lightly: "Well, is there anything?"

Xing Miao took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Director Gu, I noticed that your recent interest in Jiangnan medicinal materials seems to be a little bit beyond the norm. I want to know, what is the reason for this?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinliang raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised by Xing Miao's question.

He put down the book in his hand and looked at Xing Miao deeply, as if thinking about how to answer.

The corners of Gu Xinliang's mouth slowly curled up into a meaningful smile, that smile made people involuntarily want to explore the deeper meaning behind it.

There was a sharp light flashing in his eyes, like a sharp sword, which could easily penetrate people's hearts and see through all secrets.

He spoke slowly, his voice neither too high nor too low, each word was carefully considered and contained endless power: "The medicinal materials market, this ancient land, has been turbulent and unpredictable recently. The injection of fresh blood is like a spring breeze, which brightens people's eyes and brings new vitality and vigor."

Gu Xinliang's examination of the medicinal materials market is like a wise man in the depths of time and space, observing every subtle vein of the Chinese medicinal materials market. His eyes are sharp and profound, and he can see through every surge and change in the market.

At this moment, he seemed to have reached the top, standing on the top of a high mountain, overlooking the changes in the entire medicinal materials market.

"And my supervision of Jiangnan medicinal materials is just the first step to maintain market fairness."

Gu Xinliang's voice was neither too loud nor too low, and it was impossible to ignore it.

Xing Miao sat quietly on the heavy mahogany chair. His brows seemed to be tightly bound by invisible chains, so heavy that they almost penetrated his skin, revealing the heavy pressure deep in his heart.

The ravines between his brows were like mountains and rivers carefully carved by time. His eyes revealed a hint of disdain and indifference, and that expression was like icicles blown by the cold wind on a winter morning, sharp and indifferent.

The corners of Xing Miao's mouth rose slightly, outlining an arc that seemed to be a smile, as if mocking everything in front of him.

"In my eyes, the reputation of Jiangnan Medicinal Materials is not as bad as you say."

His voice was low and powerful, and his words expressed his rock-solid, unshakable trust in Jiangnan medicinal materials.

Xing Miao slowly turned his head, his eyes as sharp as torches, shooting straight at Gu Xinliang. The sharp light seemed to be able to pierce through all hypocrisy and concealment and reach people's hearts.

Gu Liangxin's heart trembled at his sudden gaze, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

"Director Gu, I heard that you seemed to be feeling unwell recently." There was a hint of concern in Xing Miao's voice, but more of an unspoken warning.

Gu Xinliang's face turned as pale as paper the moment he heard these words. His mind was as clear as a mirror, and he knew very well that Xing Miao's words were not out of concern and worry for him, but were telling him in the most straightforward way - Xing Miao believed that Gu Xinliang's body could no longer withstand the pressure of this heavy responsibility.

Xing Miao seemed to be completely immersed in his own imagination at this moment. He imagined that Chen Shanshan had succeeded, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a smile that seemed to be a smile. That smile was full of ridicule and disdain for Gu Xinliang, as if he had seen the moment when Gu Xinliang was about to fall.

"Director Gu, if you are really exhausted, you should go home and rest."

Xing Miao's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Gu Xinliang's heart hard.

However, Xing Miao did not realize that while he was immersed in his own fantasy, Gu Xinliang's heart was undergoing earth-shaking changes.

Gu Xinliang stood there quietly, facing the chaos and accusations before him, but his face did not show a single ripple.

He responded calmly: "I know my physical condition well, so you don't need to worry about it."

The Jiangnan medicinal materials industry has been experiencing waves of turmoil recently, with rumors and gossip like dark clouds, shrouding the entire industry in a haze.

As a partner, Gu Xinliang knows that what he shoulders at this moment is not only the consideration of interests, but also a heavy professional mission and moral adherence.

In this bizarre and trap-filled business world, he knew clearly that if he was even slightly careless, he could fall into an abyss from which there was no return.

The turmoil over Jiangnan medicinal materials intensified, and Gu Xinliang had to personally set foot on this land to conduct in-depth investigation and supervision.

Gu Xinliang's figure shuttled through the bustling medicinal materials market, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, not missing any details.

After some meticulous exploration, Gu Xinliang finally made a new discovery.

Gu Xinliang paused slightly, like a cheetah that had spotted its prey in the grass, ready to pounce.

His eyes flashed with a cold light, piercing straight into Xing Miao's heart, having already seen through his thoughts.

"Mr. Xing Miao, your methods are really clumsy."

Gu Xinliang said coldly, his tone full of disdain and ridicule.

Xing Miao's face suddenly turned pale. He could feel that sharp gaze piercing his heart like a blade, making it impossible for him to breathe.

He tried to hide his inner panic with a smile, but the smile seemed so stiff and unnatural.

"During my investigation, I discovered that there were significant oversights and loopholes in the business procedures of Jiangnan Medicinal Materials." Gu Xinliang continued, and every word hit Xing Miao's head like hail, making him unable to raise his head.

Cold sweat broke out on Xing Miao's forehead, he knew he had nowhere to escape.

He tried to change the subject by questioning the other person's health, but the other person easily saw through his trick, which made him extremely frustrated and angry.

"You are trying to change the subject by questioning my health. That's too naive." Gu Xinliang smiled coldly, a smile full of disdain and ridicule.

A strong sense of humiliation surged in Xing Miao's heart. He felt as if he had been stripped naked and was standing naked in front of everyone.

"And letting Chen Shanshan take action is a huge mistake in this move of yours." Gu Xinliang continued.

Xing Miao's face turned even paler; he knew that he had completely failed.

Suddenly, the first contract for Jiangnan Medicinal Materials signed by Su Chenjin himself flashed through his mind, and a cunning thought quietly arose and lingered in his heart.

The smile on his face gradually became twisted and weird, hiding an unknown conspiracy.

This smile was both calculating and revealed an indescribable expectation, as if in his plan, the contract would be the key to his sudden change.

At that moment, Xing Miao's expression turned as dark as a cloud, almost ferocious.

There was a cold light flashing in his eyes, trying to pierce through the opponent in front of him.

He roared angrily, "We have a contract signed in black and white. It is a legally binding document. How can you easily sway it? Even if you know something, what can you do? This ironclad fact cannot be easily changed by you."

Xing Miao's words were as fierce as a storm, full of unquestionable firmness.

His chest heaved violently, revealing his inner excitement and anger.

He clenched his fists and vented all his dissatisfaction and anger.

"Business is like a battlefield, everything must be done according to the rules. The contract is our rule, and it is the bottom line that both parties must abide by. Gu Xinliang, don't forget that the contract signed by Su Chenjin caused the Gu family and South China Medicinal Materials to suffer a great loss. Every clause and every detail in that contract was carefully planned and arranged. Do you think you can turn the tables just by knowing something? Don't dream!"

Xing Miao's words were full of sarcasm and provocation, trying to destroy all of Gu Xinliang's confidence and courage.

A cruel smile appeared on his lips as he began to appreciate his opponent's frustration and despair.

However, Gu Xinliang was not intimidated by Xing Miao's violent anger and sarcastic sarcasm.

He stood there, like a solid rock standing in the center of a storm, allowing the wind and rain to erode him, but he remained unmoved.

Gu Xinliang took a deep breath and gradually calmed down his emotions that were rising and falling due to anger.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes sharp as torches, staring straight at Xing Miao's face that was full of provocation and complacency.

Gu Xinliang's voice penetrated through the layers of fog and reached people's hearts: "Xing Miao, do you think that the contract in your hand is an ironclad fact that cannot be shaken? Do you think that all this that you carefully planned is flawless and can leave me, Gu Xinliang, powerless to fight back?"

When Xing Miao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and sneered, as if he was disdainful of Gu Xinliang's rebuttal.

But Gu Xinliang was not shaken by this. He continued, "Don't forget, the business world is like a battlefield, and victory or defeat is often just a matter of a hair's breadth. Do you think you have already taken control of Huanan Medicinal Materials and our Gu family? You are totally wrong."

Gu Xinliang's tone suddenly became sharp. He pointed at the contract in Xing Miao's hand and said word by word: "Don't forget, I still have a contract in your hand. That contract will definitely become a stumbling block to your scam and make all your careful planning come to naught."

Xing Miao couldn't help but laugh grimly, "But from today on, your name, Gu Xinliang, will be like fallen leaves, blown away by the wind, turned into dust, and will no longer leave any trace in the long river of Jiangda's history. Your existence, your glory, everything about you, will completely disappear with the end of today."

A sneer appeared on Gu Xinliang's lips, and that smile revealed an indescribable cunningness.

His eyes were like two twinkling stars, shining with a cunning and complacent light, as if he had already grasped some key to victory.

Gu Xinliang slowly stretched out his hand and took out an exquisite recorder from his pocket. The pen looked particularly conspicuous in his hand. He gently shook the recorder in front of Xing Miao's eyes. Every shake seemed to knock on Xing Miao's tense nerves.

"Do you think that everything you do is done in secret and no one knows?" Gu Xinliang's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a sharp blade, cutting open the last line of defense in Xing Miao's heart.

Xing Miao's face turned pale in an instant, and fear and anxiety were revealed in his eyes.

He wanted to open his mouth to refute, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he could not make any sound.

Gu Xinliang continued coldly: "Unfortunately, you are wrong. I have recorded every word and sentence you said just now without missing a word."

As soon as Gu Xinliang finished speaking, the entire space seemed to freeze.

Xing Miao's face became even paler, and his eyes were filled with despair and regret.

He finally understood that all his calculations and conspiracies seemed so pale and powerless in front of Gu Xinliang.

Xing Miao's pupils constricted in an instant, and his face turned as pale as an autumn leaf hit by frost, without a trace of blood.

The fear in his eyes was like lightning in the dark night, brief and dazzling.

He pounced on Gu Xinliang like a hungry wolf on its prey, with his hands stretched forward, trying to snatch the recorder that held the key to life and death.

However, Gu Xinliang was like a mountain standing in the wind and rain, unmoved at all.

He was well prepared, and his body was as agile as a ghost. He just slightly turned sideways to avoid Xing Miao's fierce attack.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Xinliang lowered his body and with a beautiful grappling move, he firmly grasped Xing Miao's arm like an iron clamp.

A trace of despair flashed in Xing Miao's eyes. He struggled to break free from Gu Xinliang's restraints, but the other party's strength was as hard as steel.

Gu Xinliang swung Xing Miao hard and smashed him to the ground.

The dull sound of impact echoed in the air, as if telling everyone that the battle had been decided.

Gu Xinliang leaned over and looked at Xing Miao who was lying on the ground, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He reached out and picked up the recorder on the ground, gently stroking the pen.

Gu Xinliang said calmly: "You lost this battle."

Xing Miao lay on the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes full of resentment and anger.

He struggled to stand up, but Gu Xinliang glared at him coldly, making him lose his courage instantly.
