Gu Nianzhi pouted. "How would I know she would suddenly attack? But I reacted quickly and gave her a backhand slap. "
"Good job!" Chen Lie took a gauze and began to clean Gu Nianzhi's ear wound again. He said indignantly, "I'll give you a medical certificate! Sue her for bodily injury! "
Gu Nianzhi giggled and said, "Sure! Cai Shengnan even said she would sue me for slapping her! "
"Then sue her! Who's afraid of who? " Chen Lie's technique was much better than Yin Shixiong's. He quickly applied a better ointment to Gu Nianzhi's ear. "Go home and rest for two days. Don't go to work at the Senate."
"Yeah, I want to rest." Gu Nianzhi nodded. She had already achieved her main goal of going to the Senate. If Speaker Long needed her help, she would naturally go. But now that the preparations for the Senate's interim general election were almost complete, it didn't matter whether she went or not.
Chen Lie finished applying ointment to her ear and looked at her face, especially around her lips. He gave her a bottle of jelly-like ointment. "Since you're not going to the Senate, you don't need to wear a mask. Take this and apply it to the uncomfortable areas on your face. You'll be fine in two days. "
Gu Nianzhi took it. "Thank you, Brother Chen."
But when she turned around and saw Huo Shaoheng calmly standing by the window, Gu Nianzhi instinctively wanted to put on her mask again.
She was too unsightly right now, and she didn't want Huo Shaoheng to see it.
Huo Shaoheng walked over and said to Chen Lie, "Help her change her mask. Wear it when you go out."
Chen Lie changed Gu Nianzhi's mask into a nicer one. The inner layer was thinner and softer than the black and white panda mask.
Gu Nianzhi immediately felt much more comfortable after putting on the mask. She didn't feel embarrassed anymore. She happily said to Chen Lie, "Thank you, Brother Chen!" and followed Huo Shaoheng out of Chen Lie's medical building.
Returning to Huo Shaoheng's official residence, Gu Nianzhi found an opportunity when no one was around to ask Huo Shaoheng, "Huo Shao, is that document very important? Did it affect you at all by delaying the signing? "
Huo Shaoheng didn't think it would be a big problem, especially after he checked the data on Hong Kangquan's tracking chip. His intuition told him that even if he fully monitored Hong Kangquan, the results would be the same.
He had long realized that Hong Kangquan was very familiar with their workflow, and he was also an expert in it.
He was Huo Shaoheng's superior and had taught Huo Shaoheng many things.
Although he was discharged from the army, his work was of the same nature as that which he had done in the army.
If there really was something wrong with Hong Kangquan, it would not have been so easy for them to find out.
Moreover, Hong Kangquan was a minister, so if they wanted to investigate him, they would face even more obstacles.
Up until now, the only flaw Hong Kangquan had exposed was Cai Songyin.
If that was really a flaw.
He pulled Gu Nianzhi to sit on the sofa in the corner and said calmly, "There are some obstacles, but it's not that big of a problem. You don't have to worry."
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief. "I was just afraid of delaying your plans. Although I'm not responsible for this, it's because of me. "
If she hadn't been in the Senate Secretariat, Special Assistant Yang wouldn't have come up with such an evil plan to deal with her and implicate this document.
"You're overthinking it." Huo Shaoheng didn't think much of it. "Special Assistant Yang was the one who had bad intentions. It has nothing to do with you."
Yin Shixiong had personally told him to deliver the important document as soon as possible. How could Special Assistant Yang still lie through his teeth and be negligent? Who else could he blame?
Moreover, the Senate was best at wrangling. They could go on and on about trivial matters. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to understand their supreme authority.
Huo Shaoheng knew that Gu Nianzhi had zero experience in this area. She still needed to experience it herself in order to get a direct impression of working in the Senate.
One could be born with IQ, but not EQ.
Letting go of her guilt, Gu Nianzhi let out a long sigh. "That's good. I also said that if I really messed things up, I would ask for your forgiveness."
Huo Shaoheng suddenly felt that he had comforted Gu Nianzhi too early …
However, it was too late for regrets now. Gu Nianzhi could no longer "ask for forgiveness" from him.
"… Then stay here for two days." Huo Shaoheng patted her head. "You can leave after you've recovered."
He didn't want the people from the Cai family to cause trouble again.
Cai Shengnan's actions today made Huo Shaoheng very cautious.
What kind of person would pay attention to the wound on Gu Nianzhi's face? Or would they be concerned about the healing of her wound?
Monitoring Hong Kangquan required so many procedures, but monitoring Cai Shengnan didn't.
That was because Cai Shengnan was under Huo Shaoheng's jurisdiction. She was an overseas Chinese and had only returned to the Huaxia Empire for three months.
"Ok, go do your work. Don't worry about me." Gu Nianzhi stretched and planned to take a nap.
She had been nervous the past two days outside and hadn't slept well at night.
Gu Nianzhi quickly fell asleep when she returned to this familiar place.
After Gu Nianzhi fell asleep, Huo Shaoheng assigned a new task to monitor Cai Shengnan.
…
Gu Nianzhi woke up and discovered that it was already past six in the evening. It was time for dinner.
Her stomach was growling with hunger. She hadn't eaten for an entire day.
She got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Looking in the mirror, she discovered that her face was much better.
She hadn't worn a mask for the entire afternoon, so there were no longer any red or swollen areas on her face. There were only a few red marks, indicating that she had been injured.
Looking at the tear on her ear, it had healed well.
Gu Nianzhi applied the green jelly-like ointment that Chen Lie had given her and took her phone downstairs for dinner.
She was the only one in the dining room.
Huo Shaoheng was in the office building and hadn't returned. Yin Shixiong was in the Senate building and couldn't return. Zhao Liangze was on an island in the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.
Gu Nianzhi sat alone in the empty dining room and missed the laughter of the past.
No one accompanied her for dinner, so she scrolled through her phone as she ate.
Gu Nianzhi hadn't been on Weibo for a few days. She logged onto her secondary account and began to browse the hot news.
Suddenly, she discovered that the original blogger she had followed using her secondary account had been tagged by the police officer.
What happened?
Gu Nianzhi clicked on it and discovered that it was an obituary!
So the original blogger's real name was Lu Dayong, and he committed suicide by jumping off a building to avoid loan sharks last night?!
What was going on?
Gu Nianzhi was confused for a moment.
As far as she knew, this blogger was definitely not someone who would commit suicide.
Even when he was being sued by the Prime Minister and his wife, he didn't consider jumping off a building. Why would he commit suicide after being chased by loan sharks?
Also, Gu Nianzhi remembered that this blogger had made a small fortune because he had accepted Cai Songyin's brief outline.
Why did he need to borrow from loan sharks?
He didn't have a wife or children, and he didn't even have a house to repay the loan. Why would he borrow so much from them?
The more Gu Nianzhi thought about it, the more suspicious she became. She reread the contents of the police's official blog.
It turned out that a residential building fire had occurred in an apartment complex near the Sihuan subway station in the Imperial Capital yesterday. It was the original blogger's rented room.
Then the blogger was found dead on the sidewalk downstairs.
The medical examiner proved that the person named Lu Dayong had committed suicide by jumping off a building.
The police only found a heavily damaged hard drive from the man's burned home.
After recovering the data, they discovered some of Lu Dayong's online accounts. The most important one was this Weibo account, "Churchill's Garden."
This was also his only source of income.
"Jumping off a building to commit suicide, why did he have to burn down his home?" Gu Nianzhi muttered to herself. Her slender fingers tapped on the phone screen twice.
Under the police station's official Weibo post, there seemed to be comments from Lu Dayong's neighbors. They all said that they had heard the loan sharks come to collect the debt last night, and that the two were arguing so loudly that the entire floor could hear them.
Gu Nianzhi was a lawyer. Her professional habits kicked in when she saw the Weibo post. She began to make deductions.
Loan sharks chasing after debts. In order to avoid being chased by loan sharks, he jumped off a building to commit suicide. This chain of evidence was logical.
But why would he set fire to his home? That didn't make any sense.
Did he set the fire himself? Or did someone else set the fire?
If someone else set the fire, then it made even less sense for the person to commit suicide.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but think of the Prime Minister's wife, Cai Songyin, who had a history with this Weibo blogger.
Cai Songyin had threatened to sue this Weibo blogger and intentionally forced him to spill the beans about the short essay.
Now that the blogger was dead, how could Cai Songyin stir up trouble?
Gu Nianzhi thought of that and immediately remembered the text she had sent to Cai Songyin, as well as Tan Guiren's audio recording!
When she sent the text, the IP address was heavily disguised, and the tone of her voice was that of the original blogger.
No matter who saw that text, they would think that the original blogger had hired help.
She still remembered the content of the text. "Mrs. Tan, if you insist on suing the original blogger, your daughter's imprisonment play will soon go viral."
Gu Nianzhi stood up uneasily and paced back and forth in the dining room.
She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she couldn't rule out the possibility that the original blogger had lost his life because of this message!
