Chapter 2675: York Needs Help

There must be a long-standing grudge, for the man to be paid to cause an explosion. No one would do that for no reason.

Leng Yuanqian was really blessed and was completely fine after the explosion.

The news about the explosion went abroad fast, because it was too big to be kept quiet. However, only a few people were aware of the target.

Not many people knew that it was Gu Ning who saved Leng Yuanqian and the others this time, because Gu Ning didn’t allow them to mention it. They only reported the matter to Wei Lingfeng.

However, because Wei Lingfeng was already aware of Gu Ning’s superpowers, he wasn’t surprised when he heard that Leng Yuanqian and the others were rescued by her.

The next day, at 10 am, York called Gu Ning and asked her whether she had time. He wanted to invite her to share a meal to thank her for her help.

Gu Ning understood that she couldn’t avoid him, so she agreed. She also knew it wasn’t just a meal to thank her. He did it for another purpose, so she didn’t tell Leng Yuanqian about it or go with Leng Yuanqian. Instead she went there alone.

York originally wanted to remind Gu Ning not to come with Leng Yuanqian or her other friends, but he didn’t want to scare Gu Ning. Therefore, he said nothing.

Anyway, he was going to thank Gu Ning by buying her a meal today. If she came with other people, he would talk to her about his issues later.

He could delay it, but he had to express his gratitude first.

York invited Gu Ning to meet at 12 pm, which was precisely lunchtime. And the appointed place was Shengshi Hotel.

Although the appointed time was 12 pm, York had to arrive earlier because of etiquette, so he went to wait in the private room at 11:30 am.

Gu Ning wouldn’t come too early, but she couldn’t be late either, so she came at 11:50 am.

Only York was present in the private room. While two of his security guards stood guard outside.

When the two security guards saw Gu Ning, they directly opened the door and let her in.

Although a girl was dining alone with a man in the room, because of their status, no one would gossip about it.

After seeing Gu Ning arriving alone, York was very satisfied. He stood up. “Miss Gu, nice to see you. Have a seat.”

Although York didn’t pull out a chair for Gu Ning, it was already very respectful of him that he stood up to welcome her. After all, York had a very high status, and ordinary people wouldn’t receive such treatment.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Gu Ning apologized, as a courtesy.

“No, no, I just arrived,” said York. In fact, twenty minutes were long and he had never waited for anyone before. Most of the time, it was other people who waited for him, unless their most senior leaders came.

However, he didn’t think it was a big deal to wait for Gu Ning. After all, Gu Ning had saved his life, and he needed her help.

Gu Ning said nothing and went to sit down.

“Miss Gu, please order whatever you like. No need to hesitate,” said York, pointing at the menu in front of Gu Ning.

“Sure,” said Gu Ning, then she opened the menu. She didn’t intend to save money for York. There were only two of them, so a few dishes wouldn’t cost much.

When Gu Ning opened the menu, York rang the service bell and a waiter came in.

Gu Ning ordered three dishes, including two of fried meat and a soup.

York also ordered three dishes.

Even though they couldn’t eat so much, York wanted to show his sincerity.

After the waiter left, York said, “Miss Gu, I need to thank you again for your help yesterday. If it hadn’t been for you, I would have been killed in the explosion.”

“Don’t say that, Mr. York. It’s just a little favor. No need to be so serious,” said Gu Ning.

“I know, but you saved my life after all. I can’t forget your kindness. I have to take it seriously, or I won’t be able to relax,” said York. After that, he took out a box and handed it to Gu Ning. “Miss Gu, this is a gift for you. Please take it.”

“Mr. York, thank you so much, but I think a gift is too much. A meal is enough. Please take it back.” Gu Ning didn’t accept it and declined.

“You saved my life. So a meal is hardly enough. If you don’t accept it, I won’t sleep at ease,” said York, putting a bit of pressure on Gu Ning.

“If so, I guess I’ll have to take it.” Seeing York’s insistence, Gu Ning didn’t bother to argue any longer and took his gift.

York was pleased to see that.

“Actually, Miss Gu, I didn’t call you out just to thank you for saving my life. I was hoping that you could do me another favor. I’ll definitely pay you for it. I know you don’t lack anything, but I honestly don’t know who else can help me. After witnessing your abilities yesterday, I thought maybe you can help me, Miss Gu,” said York.

Because Gu Ning had already guessed it, she wasn’t surprised and directly asked, “Mr. York, what can I do for you?”

“Miss Gu, you should know that I was the target of yesterday’s explosion, so I’m actually in a very dangerous position. And the same thing might happen again and again. Although I have security guards by my side, sometimes… Well, I still don’t feel safe. I’m going to Country F next. Could you please go with me? Please stay with me there for three days. After I return to Country Y, your job will be done. Miss Gu, can you do that for me? I’ll definitely pay you a fortune,” said York. Even though he wanted Gu Ning’s help, he was afraid that she might turn him down. After all, it was indeed a little difficult for Gu Ning.

Hearing that, Gu Ning was silent for a while before she asked, “I can’t give you a reply right now. Mr. York, if you don’t mind, I’ll reply to you this afternoon, alright?”
