It was Huo Shaoheng’s voice! Gu Nianzhi sighed deeply before hugging her baseball bat and sliding down against the wall She wasn’t being sensitive but had truly been too anxious earlier She thought that Ishi+hara Taro was all-powerful enough to be able to use common thieves as well There were le woprobably understood her psyche well, so he immediately called out his name when he opened the door

Gu Nianzhi called out, “Huo Shao? It’s so late What are you doing here?”

Huo Shaoheng pressed the wall switch to turn on the living roohts instantly illuainst the bedroom wall, Gu Nianzhi rubbed her eyes When she put her ars before her

Huo Shaoheng still wore his military-style uniform coat and stood before her as he looked down from above His expression was the same as usual—warm yet distant, calm but solemn He stared silently at Gu Nianzhi just like that However, Gu Nianzhi could sense the range rolling off his body She couldn’t help but hug the baseball bat closer

Huo Shaoheng stared at Gu Nianzhi for a whileon the floor? Get up now”

Gu Nianzhi carefully studied his hand His palhtly wide, and there were faint calluses on the center of his palunpowder

His fingers were slender and strong, the knuckles not visible, yet she could see that the bones of his fingers were very straight He didn’t grow out his nails They were trimmed neatly, and when he reached out to her, it was like he could give her the entire world…

Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to take his hand and stand up to begin with, but somehow she was entranced by his perfectly shaped hands and placed her little hand in his Huo Shaoheng squeezed her hand tightly, and his heart trembled faintly

Her small hand was soft as silk yet carried a sense of resilience within the tenderness Such soft and small hands should be properly protected and kept away so she didn’t suffer battering froht only appeared fleetingly in Huo Shaoheng’s mind before he rejected it Gu Nianzhi was a not a shi+vering damsel in distress who only kne to hide behind hied to take flight But before her wings were fully grown, she could only drea calmly pulled Gu Nianzhi up from the floor and sed the baseball bat and collapsed in Huo Shaoheng’s ar, you don’t need to be so eager”

1Gu Nianzhi was speechless Luckily, she had the baseball bat between them Otherwise, Gu Nianzhi felt she really couldn’t explain herself Pressing the baseball bat against Huo Shaoheng’s chest, she slowly pushed hilanced at hi to ’s s you that What are you trying to do?”

She had suddenly stopped living at the dorli District apart the Ferrari because it was too flashy Now she drove it to and fro was not nor was very familiar with Gu Nianzhi and also knew she was not sorees on a whi, and although Huo Shaoheng thought some of those reasons were too childish, he typically made no comments

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips In the half-dark, half-bright bedroo in half darkness and half light Huo Shaoheng had his back to the light, so Gu Nianzhi couldn’t clearly see the expression on his face She only saw that his eyes were very bright, like navigation stars in the darkness illu her path ahead

She knew that Huo Shaoheng could clearly see her face, so she was very careful and vigilant about not revealing any strange expressions Shelearn about what she needed to do If he found out, there was no telling whether he would risk coainst Ishi+hara Taro

Gu Nianzhi definitely didn’t want Huo Shaoheng to fall into any passive situations because of her This man protected her, so she must also silently protect hiain, but she must still protect hi Even with Gu Nianzhi’s legal literacy, she couldn’t find a single law that could officially convict Ishi+hara Taro Even if they caught hi the coin, even if she proved that Ishi+hara Taro’s throwing of the coin had caused the series of subsequent events, the courts would be unable to convict hiarded as “corpus delicti”

Under these circuged into the mess A person within the system could not do what she was about to—not even a little bit

Huo Shaoheng looked down at Gu Nianzhi, and it was no surprise that he saw her stubborn look that he was very familiar with—just like when she first came under his care when she was only 12 years old, yet was so stubborn she gave people headaches
