Chapter 937 - The Last to Turn the Tide (5) (2/2)
Gu Nianzhi laughed a little and said gently, “Professor He, it doesn’t actually li apart’s elevator accident I htened by it Isn’t that great? Besides…”
Gu Nianzhi paused, stirred the milk with a small silver spoon, and added so like that happened in the dor, I feel scared I dare not live there anyical He Zhichuto coo pick you up for your exa when your exams are over In short, I will have you tied to my side for the next few days”
Somehow, He Zhichu felt inexplicably uneasy The elevatorwas clearly accidental, but he couldn’t help feeling that it was a close call for Gu Nianzhi
Upon hearing that He Zhichu was going to fetch her to and from school daily, Gu Nianzhi was dumbfounded She declined immediately “Professor He, you don’t have to do that I’m safe and secure”
“So what if you’re safe and secure? You don’t want me to pick you up just because you are safe and secure? I’ll only do it for four or five days, anyway” He Zhichu refused to give up
Gu Nianzhi got nervous and thought that sheto stop him “Professor He, you really don’t have to Actually… actually, Master Huo has plans for et involved, I’m afraid…”
He Zhichu was initially persistent, but after hearing that Huo Shaoheng had his own plans, he hesitated Then, he asked skeptically, “Huo Shaoheng really made plans?”
“Mhm” Gu Nianzhi nodded profusely She knew that He Zhichu would not confront Huo Shaoheng, so she s were clearer, she would explain everything to both He Zhichu and Ma Qiqi Then again, Gu Nianzhi thought of what she wanted to do and dared not tell Ma Qiqi the truth
The kitchen was bathed in the soft, yello of the ceiling lights, and the ivory cabinet stood silently under the warentle illuazed at her snohite fingers They were clean and without a single bleh her hands were sy
Gu Nianzhi tightened her fist Her pretty face wore no expression She looked like an ice sculpture, elegant yet cold
Gu Nianzhi changed the subject in a calm and collected manner “Professor He, did you know? One of the ladies who died in the dor’s elevator is our counselor, Gui Suyao You must be familiar with her? She was also your doctoral student”
He Zhichu walked towards his car, pulled the door open, and got in He then drove in the direction of the professor’s building “Really? It was her?” He Zhichu was somewhat surprised
Gu Nianzhi drank a mouthful of milk and said, “Professor He, do you still re on Christmas Eve?”
He Zhichu nodded “Of course I do We alht I can’t help feeling that there’s a spy a information to the mastermind It can’t all be so coincidental We just left the bar’s parking lot and were chased by police cars”
He Zhichu ca at “Do youthe information?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded silently “There’s a high probability that it was her” That would explain why Ishi+hara Taro made her die The situation could also be worked backwards Why did Ishi+hara Taro want Gui Suyao dead? It must be that Gui Suyao knew some unfavorable information about him
Aside from the Christmas Ball incident, Gu Nianzhi could not think of any other instances where there was any interaction with Gui Suyao By the looks of things, the incident where two bags of white poere tied under He Zhichu’s car was also inextricably linked to Ishi+hara Taro
However, she did not say this out loud She couldn’t let He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng knoho she was suspecting If they learned about it, then it was likely her plan would fall through
He Zhichu recalled the events of that night and no longer insisted on picking her up Instead, he exhorted, “Stick to Huo Shaoheng’s plans Don’t go around outside I think it’s okay for you to be under his protection here”
Laughing, Gu Nianzhi tilted her head to the side “Professor He, you ?”
He Zhichu coughed and said, “I don’t have any prejudice against hi as he treats you well, I have no objections”
Touched, Gu Nianzhi was choked up She onlydown some hot milk, and she said to hioodnight”
Professor He bade her goodnight and hung up the phone
In the kitchen, Gu Nianzhi drank the re hot milk in silence When she was done, she washed the cup and headed to the dor
Gu Nianzhi was speechless
She switched off the lights in the apartment in a hurry, picked up the baseball bat that was at the corner of the wall, and waited, in silence, by the wall that was behind the door
Huo Shaoheng opened the door He pushed open the door and said immediately, “Nianzhi, it’s me”
