Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Located in the center of Lanjiang City, its main building is the second tallest building after the central building, backing onto the river and overlooking the entire city.

Every night, dazzling lights surround the entire building, and no matter where you are in Lanjiang, you can see the bright lights and bustling activity just by looking up.

......

As dusk settled and the night deepened, Su Wanxi wore a navy green dress, her fair legs, encased in black stockings, were faintly visible through the hem of the skirt.

His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his dark pupils reflecting the streetlights on both sides.

"What time is it?" Su Wanxi asked softly amidst the shifting light and shadow.

"6:47, 20 seconds shy of the quarterfinals." Knowing that the other person had a strong sense of time, Gu Cheng would try to answer as precisely as possible.

"Hold on tight..." With a light touch on the accelerator, the car began to accelerate. Su Wanxi observed the road conditions more carefully, while Gu Cheng nodded, arms crossed, her eyes slightly confused.

Looking at herself through the car window, the girl sighed almost imperceptibly. She really didn't feel comfortable in this outfit.

The white shirt was so thin that the clothes underneath could be seen in slightly bright light, naturally highlighting her full chest.

This was still within her acceptable range; at least wearing an undershirt prevented her bra color from showing...

As for the uniform skirt on the lower body... it's really a bit short... just sitting there, the hem of the skirt doesn't cover the thighs at all, and the skin about a finger's width above the knee shines like jade through the stockings.

However... they are indeed quite comfortable to wear... gently rubbing my legs, the sheer pantyhose clings to my skin with a silky feel.

No wonder Su Wanxi always wears... Gu Cheng thought to herself, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards the other woman's legs.

They looked nice, but they felt chilly. Luckily, she found a few pairs of safety shorts in the corner of the closet, and wearing them over her tights instantly gave her a sense of security.

Su Wanxi seemed to have some objections to her way of dressing. If there hadn't been a shortage of time, she probably would have made her take off her safety shorts.

She lightly kicked the car seat twice, making a creaking sound. These little leather shoes were actually softer than Gu Cheng had expected. Before, when shopping, Qin Kexin always complained that her shoes were too stiff, requiring her to rest after walking for a while...

As they drove through the magnificent gate, a breathtaking view unfolded before them. After the engine was turned off, Su Wanxi changed into high heels, slowly opened the car door, and Gu Cheng checked her clothes again before getting out of the car with her.

The two moved forward in the lights. Su Wanxi seemed to know the place well, and although they were winding their way around, they were always heading in the same direction.

"Follow me." After walking for a while, she took Gu Cheng's hand and spoke gently.

"Hmm..." Gu Cheng didn't struggle and obediently followed behind.

Su Wanxi: "Have you been here before?"

Gu Cheng: "No, this is my first time." Xinsheng is a five-star hotel, and she couldn't even get a job as a waitress.

......

The reception area was a side hall, and the corridor seemed to have been cleared out in advance, with only the two of them remaining besides the waitresses.

Walking to the end of the path and pushing open the door, you'll find yourself in a magnificent dining room.

The carpet is a soft, wine-red color, and an intricately carved marble sculpture sits across the center of the dining room, dividing the spacious area into several distinct sections.

The walls are inlaid with crystals, agate, and various famous paintings, which appear hazy and elegant under the golden light that is almost like the light of dawn.

The glassware had a glass-like sheen, and was piled with Western ingredients such as chicken breast, foie gras, and lamb chops, while herbs and blueberry sauce were placed on the side.

"Don't be nervous...it's just a regular reception." Noticing that Gu Cheng was a little reserved, Su Wanxi drew a circle on the other's palm with her finger.

"Hmm..." Gu Cheng shifted her gaze from the bottle of red wine of unknown age, her hand clenching slightly.

Perhaps... I shouldn't have forced her to change her clothes... Su Wanxi suddenly felt a little guilty.

Given her usual attire, she shouldn't be this nervous... After passing the gilded candlestick, the two continued walking inside.

"Hey, hey?" A familiar voice came from beside her, and Qin Kexin peeked out from behind the counter covered with black velvet.

"Ali, Ali, Sister Xi is here." She called softly as she walked up to Su Wanxi.

"You two are definitely together! Xi-jie and Chengzi both look so beautiful today!" Qin Kexin hugged Gu Cheng's arm, with the cream from the cake she had just tasted still on her lips.

"Why is Orange wearing a skirt today..." Qin Kexin lowered her voice so that only Gu Cheng and she could hear it.

“...Just give it a try.” Gu Cheng’s ears turned slightly red as she recalled the specific negotiation process.

Qin Kexin tilted her head in confusion and finally noticed that Su Wanxi and Qin Kexin were holding hands tightly.

There's a problem... Qin Kexin slowly released her arm, and the Detective Radar activated instantly.

"Captain Su." Just then, a figure emerged from the darkness. Zhou Li had his beard neatly trimmed and was wearing a matching outfit similar to Qin Kexin's.

The only difference is that Zhou Li is wearing dress pants and leather shoes, while Qin Kexin is wearing white knee-high socks and canvas shoes. They look more like father and daughter than a couple?

Anyway, it's not formal wear, Gu Cheng suddenly realized.

Did she think she'd been tricked? The girl glared fiercely at Su Wanxi, who still maintained an icy expression, looking completely innocent.

"Are the relevant personnel in place?" Ignoring the girl's fierce yet adorable gaze, Su Wanxi turned her head and asked Zhou Li, fidgeting with her fingers.

"That's about it. There's one more person on the way, and the rest are waiting inside."

"Let's go." Glancing casually at Qin Kexin, Su Wanxi pulled Gu Cheng into the inner room.

The dining room has a hidden interior; passing through a side door, there is a round conference table.

Two men and one woman were sitting at the table. Apart from Qi Bei, Gu Cheng had never seen the other two before.

Qi Bei sat at the round table furthest from the door. His face was no longer as pale as when he was first discharged from the hospital. He casually played with his phone, but stopped when he saw someone come in.

The other man and woman seemed to be talking about something. The man was probably in his early thirties, with a high nose bridge, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and long bangs. He had a refined and scholarly air. The woman was relatively older, wearing a red dress, with wrinkles at the corners of her lips, but her eyes were extremely sharp, making Gu Cheng feel uncomfortable.

"Sit next to me," Su Wanxi whispered, then slowly sat down in the main seat.

“There are still some people who haven’t arrived yet, let’s start…” Zhang Yizhe was the only one missing from the list… Su Wanxi didn’t have the patience to wait for him.

"Coming, coming..." Just then, a man wearing a black top hat hurriedly walked in.

Section 92 Chapter 90 The Aid

Su Wanxi glanced at the Kennedy grandfather clock in the corner; the minute hand was turning right at twelve o'clock. Zhang Yizhe had already given her a terrible first impression, and now his unpunctuality had been added to the list...

"It's 7:03. You're late, Mr. Zhang." Her tone was neither warm nor cold, but upon closer examination, one could sense a faint sense of displeasure.

"Sorry, there was a small problem." Zhang Yizhe shrugged and pulled out a chair, explaining as if he knew he was in the wrong.

He glanced briefly at the conference table, his gaze lingering on Su Wanxi.

As expected of Lanjiang... besides Princess Su, there are so many beautiful girls...

Qin Kexin was wearing a youthful pink and white T-shirt, the same style as the man next to her, so they were probably a couple.

As for Miss Gu, with whom she had a previous conflict... she was wearing a thin white shirt, her chest heaving noticeably, and her fair cheeks were flushed with a faint blush.

She did have a great figure, but unfortunately, she was sitting down, so her lower body wasn't clearly visible. Zhang Yizhe vaguely sensed that it was a short skirt that didn't go past her knees.

He might not be able to get close to Su Wanxi, but he might not be able to get close to others... He slowly withdrew his gaze, feeling a surge of excitement.

"..." Gu Cheng blushed purely because of that pale white hand.

Su Wanxi stood while giving her speech, but Gu Cheng sat down. The two held hands, which were parallel to the table, and the guests could see them by slightly raising their heads.

Gu Cheng tried to let go several times, but Su Wanxi held on tightly each time.

"...What are you doing?" she whispered, which was seen by Qin Kexin on the other side, who gave her a sweet smile.

"Keep it up!" Two crisp words came through the mind communication, but the connection was cut off before Gu Cheng could reply.

Those present were all Awakened Ones, so the activation of their abilities naturally did not escape their notice. The other guests all looked at Qin Kexin with probing eyes.

Qin Kexin stuck out her tongue innocently and leaned on Zhou Li's shoulder.

Su Wanxi glanced at her, then held Gu Cheng's hand tightly, her expression unchanged.

Since it was a banquet for guests, Mandarin was naturally an indispensable part of it.

The only difference was that those clichés sounded more charming coming from Su Wanxi's mouth. Gu Cheng didn't find them boring at all; in fact, she found them quite amusing. She gently scratched Su Wanxi's palm as a way of expressing her admiration.

......

"Thank you all for coming. Let me first offer you a toast." Picking up the stemmed glass on the table, Su Wanxi lightly sipped the bright red liquid in the glass with her delicate lips. Although it was called a glass, Su Wanxi only took a small sip, and the mellow aroma of the wine flowed between her lips and teeth.

"You all probably don't know each other yet, so let's introduce ourselves one by one." The publicly available member information will be sent to each person's account after the banquet, but since we're all at the same negotiating table, there's nothing wrong with knowing sooner rather than later. The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses is surnamed Xu, with the given name Bai, thirty-one years old, from Zhucang Province, and possesses the awakened ability "Alienated Limbs," with a strength level of B.

Zhucang is a neighboring province, and due to various considerations, there are more members responsible for providing assistance.

“If you don’t understand, I can show you.” The man paused for a moment, and his hand transformed into a sharp bone blade in full view of everyone.

"Can it only transform into a solid?" Zhou Li asked him.

“Yes.” The man nodded, his arms transforming back into spikes and a shield. A well-rounded ability, combining offense and defense—quite impressive…

Next up was the slightly older-looking woman in red. She introduced herself with a cold face and no expression.

"Mu Taofang, 45 years old, from Zhucang Province, awakened ability 'Environmental Mimicry', ability strength C+." After saying this, she did not intend to demonstrate her ability, but instead turned her gaze to others.

"My turn?" Zhang Yizhe chuckled twice and slowly took off his black top hat.

“Zhang Yizhe, from Beidu... You may not know me... but you should know Ruisheng Group.”

"Ruisen Group...you're Chairman Zhang's son?" Mu Taofang's eyes changed slightly as she curiously sized up Zhang Yizhe.

“That’s my uncle…my father works in Beidu.” Zhang Yizhe rested his chin on his hand, his tone smiling.

Beidu...surnamed Zhang...a member of the Zhang family? Xu Bai gave Mu Taofang a wink, and the latter said no more.

"Twenty-seven years old, awakened ability 'Projection Manifestation,' ability strength is B+." As he spoke, Zhang Yizhe looked at Su Wanxi.

"I believe Miss Su knows me quite well... after all, my identification documents are still in her hands."

Su Wanxi's expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn't heard Zhang Yizhe's words. Under the table, she was playing with Gu Cheng's long hair.

Ever since Gu Cheng hurt her last time, Su Wanxi seems to have developed a habit of playing with other people's hair, from touching it to rubbing it, and finally to playing with it carefully.

Gu Cheng had made a mistake, so we let her touch him.

Zhang Yizhe smiled awkwardly, and suddenly a rose appeared in his hand.

"Miss Gu, I'm very sorry about what happened last night..." He leaned forward slightly, wanting to hand the roses to Gu Cheng, his voice deep and slightly magnetic.

"..." Just as Gu Cheng was about to refuse, Su Wanxi gently grasped her other hand, her eyes deep.

"No need, thank you." Gu Cheng glanced at Su Wanxi and politely declined.

She wasn't planning on accepting it anyway...
