Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Chapter 4 - The Doctor with A Gun

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In her last life, Gu Ning had stumbled upon a phoenix-shaped red jade by pure chance.

She didn't know if it was real or fake, yet she held onto it simply because she adored it.

To her shock, the jade contained mystical energies that triggered her rebirth.

Furthermore, the Blood of the Phoenix fused with her soul, granting her the jade's abilities along with a pair of Jade Eyes.

Through these Jade Eyes, everything appeared utterly transparent.

Thanks to this gift, Gu Ning acquired clairvoyance and an eidetic memory.

Spirit Qi was a pure form of energy present in all things between heaven and earth, much like the vital essences from the sun and moon.

A telepathic eye space existed too—a static storage area where any object in sight (if lifeless) could be stored away with just a thought.

Naturally, performing these feats or activating the Jade Eyes consumed power.

Besides that, those with power enjoyed extended lifespans and could heal wounds or diseases using it.

As power increased, the telepathic eye space expanded, holding even more items.

Since the Blood of the Phoenix was essentially a jade, it required jade power to thrive.

Jade came in nephrite and jadeite varieties.

Nephrite encompassed classic gems such as crystals, corals, agates, and more.

Jadeite primarily featured emeralds.

Anything carrying jade power proved useful.

Jade remained highly sought-after and widespread, from ancient eras to today's world.

Finding jade wasn't a challenge for Gu Ning at all.

However, she required massive amounts of it—far too much to quantify precisely.

Stone gambling became her sole path to meet this demand, building up jade power for her Jade Eyes.

With Jade Eyes in her possession, dominating stone gambling was effortless.

Through stone gambling alone could she gather greater quantities of jade, drawing in ever purer and mightier power.

Simultaneously, stone gambling allowed her to rake in cash.

To earn money, her Jade Eyes offered alternative applications too.

For instance, in dice games under a cup—clairvoyance guaranteed victory every time.

Yet such methods wouldn't sustain for long, as casinos enforced strict limits on winnings. Exceed them, and you'd end up blacklisted or worse, eliminated.

If better money-making options existed, Gu Ning would skip gambling altogether—except for stone gambling, of course.

Antiques held tremendous value too, steeped in years of sun and moon essences. Genuine ones brimmed with this essence; the richer it was, the more ancient the piece.

Stone gambling could turn you into a tycoon or pauper in a flash. Antiques wielded similar risks—one true find meant instant fortune, a fake spelled total ruin.

For Gu Ning, armed with supernatural powers, such hurdles were trivial.

These thoughts filled Gu Ning with exhilaration. Her newfound powers were outrageously potent!

Should she fail to succeed with Jade Eyes, she'd sooner perish.

Fear gave way to joy, as wealth now lay within easy reach. Even the Jade Eyes felt like a boon.

“Ningning, Ningning, are you okay?” Gu Man’s anxious voice pulled Gu Ning back. Facing her mother’s worried expression, she responded, “Mom, you’re awake?”

Relieved to see Gu Ning unharmed, Gu Man remained a touch uneasy. “I’ve been up for ages, but you looked lost in thought. I called your name several times with no response. I feared your brain injury had returned. You scared me half to death!”

Um.

After hearing the explanation, Gu Ning felt somewhat guilty. “Sorry, Mom, I was just deep in thought.”

Gu Man didn’t press further; seeing her daughter safe was enough.

“As long as you’re awake, that’s what matters. It’s nearly six pm now. What would you like to eat? I’ll go get it,” Gu Man offered.

“I’m not fussy. Anything works,” Gu Ning said.

“...” Gu Man hesitated briefly, saying nothing.

Knowing Gu Ning wouldn’t splurge on luxuries, Gu Man took charge and fetched some tasty treats.

Once Gu Man left, Gu Ning slipped out of bed for a short stroll to stretch her legs.

But mere steps from her ward, a speedy doctor in a white coat and mask barreled into her. Gu Ning staggered, nearly tumbling, but grabbed the wall just in time to steady herself.

Initially annoyed, Gu Ning considered it might be an urgent situation, so the collision was unintentional. She decided to let it slide.

Shockingly, the man offered no apology—instead, he shot her a fierce glare before hurrying off.

Gu Ning froze momentarily, not from the rudeness, but from the intense hatred burning in his gaze. And it wasn’t aimed at her.

Instinctively, she turned to watch him, eyes narrowing. Something was off about this guy.

Suddenly, her vision pierced his white coat, revealing a concealed gun at his waist.

Alarm surged through Gu Ning.

This man didn’t seem like undercover police—more like a vengeful killer.

Though unrelated to her, Gu Ning couldn’t stand by after uncovering this.

Should he seek revenge with gunfire, bystanders might suffer.

With that in mind, she refused to look away.

She wasn’t divine or saintly, yet far from heartless. If she could assist, she would.

Thus, Gu Ning trailed him discreetly.

She shadowed the suspect to an office. As he approached the door, a young female doctor in white emerged but was halted by him.

Gu Ning watched his every move intently. The instant the woman came into view, he drew the gun, leveling it at her.

Hidden by the coat, the weapon stayed concealed.

The female doctor’s face drained of color, terror gripping her.

He spoke to her briefly, and she unwillingly trailed him elsewhere.

Gu Ning pursued without delay.

They ascended the stairs. Corridors lay nearly empty, as most took elevators—no one spotted their odd pair.

They headed directly to the building’s summit, an exposed balcony.

No souls occupied the balcony save the suspect, the terrified doctor, and Gu Ning lurking in shadows.
