Gu Nianzhi looked at her phone and couldn't believe her eyes.
Wasn't Professor He being too nice to her?
Gu Nianzhi froze for a long time before carefully texting, "Professor He, I won't be 18 until the second half of the year in October. Before that, I need a guardian to accompany me abroad …"
He Zhichu was on the highway to the Imperial Capital Airport.
He sat in the backseat of a luxurious Rolls-Royce, his tall body wrapped in a dark blue casual suit. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his tall nose was tall and straight. His shimmering, almond-shaped eyes were intoxicating with a hint of red. He looked like he had been drinking and was a little tipsy.
He held the phone with one hand, his slender fingers flying across the screen as he typed out a text without hesitation, "… Ask your guardian to give up temporary custody."
Gu Nianzhi's brows furrowed.
Interning at the US Congress was a job that even students from established Ivy League law schools flocked to.
Not to mention students from the Empire.
This was a rare opportunity.
When the news of He Zhichu recruiting master's students spread to their school, everyone was excited!
It was all because of He Zhichu's special status.
Studying law with a tutor like him could save 20 years of hard work!
Although Gu Nianzhi was young, she had experienced a lot more than her classmates.
She was always suspicious of such a pie that seemed to fall from the sky.
Most things that were too good were not true.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it for a while and decided that she should discuss this matter with Uncle Huo first before replying to Professor He.
Professor He might have good intentions, but she had to be cautious.
After the two recent events, she was a little paranoid.
So she texted He Zhichu back.
Gu Nianzhi: "… Thank you for your kindness, Professor He, but I still need to discuss this with my guardian."
He Zhichu stared at Gu Nianzhi's text and gradually came to his senses.
He put a hand to his forehead and rested his elbows on the side of the car window. He closed his eyes and sighed quietly, then suddenly smiled.
His expression was as cold as ice, and the brilliance of his smile was like a bolt of lightning that illuminated the dark car.
Wen Shouyi, who was sitting next to He Zhichu, was shocked speechless by his radiance.
She hurriedly turned her head away and suppressed her pounding heart as she looked at the night view outside the window.
The street lights on both sides of the highway flashed past his eyes, leaving a long arc in his retina that he could not see the end of.
He Zhichu knew that Gu Nianzhi had her suspicions. He rubbed the space between his brows, and his cool voice had a hint of a smile in it. "Little girl, you're full of drama."
Wen Shouyi: "…"
"But I drank too much." He Zhichu looked down at the text he had sent to Gu Nianzhi and shook his head. He didn't think it was appropriate. He tapped his finger on the phone screen twice and replied to her, "Don't force yourself. I only have two slots. If you want to go, go to my teaching assistant to sign up and take the exam. It's a fair competition. "
Gu Nianzhi hesitated as she watched the opportunity slip away. She quickly replied, "Got it. I'll get back to Professor He as soon as possible."
Then, there were no more messages.
He Zhichu put away his phone and threw it on the car seat. He closed his eyes and clenched his teeth tightly. His temples were throbbing with pain.
Although Wen Shouyi was looking out the window, she kept a close eye on He Zhichu from the corner of her eye.
She saw that he had ended the call and frowned. She quickly took out a bottle of iced milk from the small fridge in the car. "Professor He, this is to help with the hangover."
Milk could protect the stomach lining and reduce the absorption of alcohol.
He Zhichu waved his hand and frowned. "It smells like beef. Change it to something else."
Wen Shouyi quickly switched to iced tea. "This will help with the hangover too."
He Zhichu looked down and drank a few sips of iced tea in Wen Shouyi's hand. He chewed on a piece of mint-flavored gum and his intense headache finally subsided.
Wen Shouyi naturally pressed her hand on He Zhichu's head and massaged his scalp. She whispered softly, "What's wrong? It's such a good opportunity. Gu Nianzhi doesn't want to go? "
"Yeah." He Zhichu didn't really care. "If she doesn't go, someone else will. When we get back to the United States, announce this news on the website of the B University Faculty of Law. Let everyone sign up and take the entrance exam. I don't want people to accuse me of favoritism. "
Wen Shouyi looked down speechlessly. Wasn't he being forced to be fair because of "favoritism"?
The Rolls-Royce soon arrived at the Imperial Capital Airport.
Several people in suits and leather shoes were already waiting there. When they saw them get out of the car, they immediately came up to greet them. They clustered around He Zhichu and Wen Shouyi as they walked towards the VIP passageway.
Half an hour later, they had already boarded a flight to the United States.
"Professor He, how are you going to respond to the invitation to the International Extraordinary Women's Awards Conference in C City in a month?" Wen Shouyi was He Zhichu's teaching assistant and also his secretary. She helped him with these daily affairs.
He Zhichu closed his eyes and said impatiently, "Do you have to ask me about this? Since when did I become a performer? "
Only an entertainer would go around looking for opportunities to be exposed.
"… But we have a lot of clients attending the awards conference this time." Wen Shouyi was a bit hesitant. "The institute specifically called you several times to ask."
He Zhichu pursed his lips tightly. After a while, he said dryly, "Then you go." He glanced at Wen Shouyi. "You're a woman, so it's more appropriate for you to go."
Wen Shouyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Of course I appreciate Professor He's kindness. Ok, I'll go on Professor He's behalf. "
He Zhichu didn't say anything, so it was tacit agreement.
Soon, the roar of the plane sounded and it took off.
The lights in the first class cabin dimmed.
Wen Shouyi looked out of the window beside her and saw the bright lights of the imperial capital. It was a bustling and resplendent land surrounded by mountains. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
…
Gu Nianzhi sat on the grass in the C University library until it was dark before lazily getting up to leave.
She hesitated for a long time before calling Yin Shixiong. As she walked, she asked, "Brother Xiong, I hope I'm not disturbing you?"
"No, not at all." Yin Shixiong had already finished dinner and showered. He was sitting on the sofa with his laptop, ready to call Zhao Liangze.
He was very concerned about the group of brothers on the mission.
Huo Shaoheng had just left the country with them, so they should have settled down by now.
The eight mercenaries on the list were senior employees of the Whitewater Security Group in Europe. Three lived in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, four in Vienna, Austria, and one in Luxembourg.
Because this was the 6th Military Region's first operation after its establishment, Huo Shaoheng decided to personally lead the team to Europe to personally organize and coordinate the operation.
