Huo Shaoheng heard a loud bang from the other end of the line, and automatically ht sain, the call from “Professor He” had already been disconnected

He put away Gu Nianzhi’s phone and spoke into thethe officer on duty on the other end: “Have you finished vetting all of Nianzhi’s phone h now”

Gu Nianzhi’s mobile phone was closely monitored by the Special Operations Forces The only ti on his private line

All her other calls, both inco, were recorded and archived

The es He Zhichu had left her were still “under review” Huo Shaoheng had made sure they were “under review” for a few extra days

Gu Nianzhi did not know that her mobile phone, all her social ital information were under constant surveillance by the Special Operations Forces These precautions had been put in place when she was a minor, to protect her

Now that she was an adult, Huo Shaoheng wasn’t sure whether she would rebel against the bubble of close surveillance she was living in

But Huo Shaoheng did not deal in hypothetical probleainst it, it remained a non-issue for him

…

“Professor He? Professor He? Are you alright?” Wen Shouyi had been outside the study when she heard the loud bang from inside She frantically knocked on the door, too afraid of He Zhichu to enter without permission

To her surprise, the door to He Zhichu’s study was actually slightly ajar; it had not been shut tight

Wen Shouyi cautiously peeked through the crack The floor of the study was a mess

She spotted his phone, cracked into several pieces, and a porcelain tea cup, sled rereen jade brush holder, and a broken iMac

The desk before him was now entirely empty

Aside fro else was antique

He had swept the Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain Kylin tea cup, the Tang Dynasty dark jade paperweight, and the Song Dynasty green jade brush holder from his desk and onto the oak floor

Each of the three antiques had been worth hundreds of h to buy several luxury mansions in the most expensive parts of the imperial capital—and He Zhichu had destroyed theht

The corner of Wen Shouyi’s mouth twitched in disapproval The house was practically overfloith these priceless antiques, true, but it was still an extravagant waste to trash them like they orthless junk…

He Zhichu took a few deep breaths, and finally brought his eh-back e chair behind his desk, eyes closed His face was deathly pale

“…Nianzhi’s asleep… Nianzhi’s asleep…”

In the ht, a man had taken the call on Gu Nianzhi’s phone and told hih he knew that it was probably not what he was i at the thought

He felt as though he had lost so to someone else now, he wasn’t even allowed to take another look at it

How did this happen?!

He Zhichu felt his headache worsen He raised a hand and rubbed his temples, but the pain did not subside—on the contrary, he now felt as though a sharp needle were jabbing him in the brain, repeatedly

“Professor He? Professor He?” Wen Shouyi paled when she saw the look on He Zhichu’s face “Professor He? Is it another e…”

He Zhichu responded weakly, “Co out in joy She opened the door and walked in

It had been months since He Zhichu last allowed her to approach him

She washed her hands, warers with a special ently pressed the pressure points on his scalp

Wen Shouyi had learned how to do a head e from the He family’s primary doctor, and she had learned it specifically for He Zhichu

All was quiet in the study He Zhichu did not speak, but his breathing gradually becaained its usual color
