Huo Shaoheng was taken aback. "At your place?"
"Yes, at my place, on the bed next to me." He Zhichu was in a bad mood and spoke very rudely.
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
As soon as he finished speaking, the location on the computer in front of Huo Shaoheng was completed.
The coordinates that appeared on the screen were the B University professor's building He Zhichu lived in …
Huo Shaoheng looked at his watch expressionlessly. It was already 3: 30 in the morning.
He got off his private jet and drove to the Hepingli Precinct where Gu Nianzhi lived. At the same time, he turned on the satellite positioning system on his private jet to find Gu Nianzhi's location.
He knew that she should be sleeping at this time, but he still searched and called her phone.
He was originally hesitant to call her at this time because it would frighten her.
He didn't expect that he would be the one who would be frightened …
Huo Shaoheng rubbed his temples and restrained his deep and magnetic voice. "He Zhichu, don't do anything rash. Nianzhi treats you like family … "
"I'm rash?" He Zhichu sneered as he changed another ice pack on Gu Nianzhi's forehead. "So what if I'm rash? It's better than you not being by her side every time she's in danger. Huo Shaoheng, I'm telling you, don't think that you already have Nianzhi in your palm. I can make her leave you anytime I want! "
"How dare you?!" Huo Shaoheng couldn't control his emotions for the first time and roared angrily. His right hand clenched into a fist and his knuckles cracked. A ruthless and cold-blooded expression flashed across his face.
Fan Jian, the orderly driving in the front, was shocked and instinctively slammed on the brakes.
The wheels of the bulletproof car screeched loudly on the highway.
Huo Shaoheng snapped back to reality and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and quickly calmed himself down.
His momentary loss of composure seemed to have been a hallucination in the early hours of the morning.
Fan Jian, the orderly driving in the front, felt that he must have been suffering from a severe lack of sleep. Not only was he hallucinating, but he was also hallucinating …
He Zhichu felt better when he heard Huo Shaoheng's fierce reaction.
The treasure he held in his palm would want others to hold it in their palm as well.
If not, he would take it back without hesitation.
He Zhichu hung up and looked at Gu Nianzhi with a complicated expression.
Her temperature had dropped to 40 degrees Celsius.
For most people, it was still a high fever, but for her, she was already out of danger and back to normal.
He held Gu Nianzhi's hand and kissed the back of it.
She was born for him. From the moment she was born, she was his responsibility.
It was a treasure that he would cherish for the rest of his life.
Baby, he only wanted her well.
As long as she lived a good life, he would not care about anything.
He Zhichu knew that he had never been a generous person, much less a noble and selfless person.
His methods were brutal and vengeful. He never knew what it meant to give in and let go.
However, in front of Gu Nianzhi, he had become a true "saint."
If the people in his hometown saw him like this, they would definitely be shocked …
He Zhichu forced a smile as he tucked Gu Nianzhi's hand back under the blanket.
…
Huo Shaoheng's elbow rested on the side of the car window as he stared coldly at the bright lights outside.
Late at night in the early spring, the imperial capital was still brightly lit. It was a scene of fireworks and silver flowers that never slept.
His heart was burning with anxiety, but his expression did not change as he quietly waited for his car to enter the B University campus.
Fan Jian received his instructions and got off the highway to Hepingli. He turned onto the Fourth Ring Road and drove for another half an hour before he saw the B University south gate not far away.
Under the night sky, the B University's south gate stood tall and plain.
The shiny iron fence in front of the gate was lined up, so it was impossible to drive directly in.
Fan Jian abruptly honked the horn at the gate.
The night guard at the south gate of B University raised his head to take a look and squinted when he saw the car headlights.
When he saw the license plate, the guard immediately sobered up. He quickly turned on the lights twice and pressed a button to open the iron fence to let Huo Shaoheng's car in.
Huo Shaoheng was followed by a motorcade of seven or eight cars.
However, only his bulletproof car entered the campus. The other cars were quietly parked by the road.
The black military vehicles had a solemn and dignified aura. They were so intimidating that the cars on the road couldn't help but slow down.
…
Huo Shaoheng arrived at He Zhichu's building and called Gu Nianzhi's phone again.
He Zhichu walked to the window with the phone in hand and opened the curtains to look down.
Under the streetlight in front of the building was a modified black Hummer military vehicle. It was longer and wider than a typical Hummer SUV and had a sturdier chassis. It was said to be the same model as the steel plates used in tanks and armored vehicles.
He Zhichu picked up the phone and didn't argue with Huo Shaoheng anymore. He said in a low voice, "Nianzhi is sick. She's running a fever."
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
He thought about it and opened the door to get out. "I'll come up to take a look."
"Major General Huo is busy every day. You should go do your mission." He Zhichu mocked him and said leisurely, "If Nianzhi can't endure it this time, I'll burn three sticks of incense on your behalf. She'll be able to rest in peace."
Huo Shaoheng's expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He kicked the car door shut with a loud bang.
He walked quickly to the lobby of the professor's building without looking back.
The corners of He Zhichu's mouth twitched. He closed the curtains and put away his phone before going to the kitchen to make coffee.
When the doorbell rang, He Zhichu had just put the coffee beans into the coffee machine.
He turned on the coffee machine's automatic transmission and went to open the door for Huo Shaoheng.
As soon as the door opened, a fist mercilessly smashed towards his face along with the whistling sound of the wind!
Although He Zhichu had been mentally prepared and was well-trained, he still couldn't dodge the punch.
The side of his left eye was scratched, and the corner of his eye instantly turned purple.
Only then did he realize that when he fought with Huo Shaoheng, Huo Shaoheng had gone easy on him …
He Zhichu's mind raced as he quickly retreated to the right. At the same time, his left leg flew up to kick Huo Shaoheng's chest.
If Huo Shaoheng wanted to dodge the kick, he would have no choice but to retreat. At that time, He Zhichu could take the opportunity to close the door again and teach this ungrateful person a lesson!
He didn't expect Huo Shaoheng's right arm to be as steady as a mountain in front of his chest. He abruptly raised it to block the flying leg and used the momentum to push forward.
As a result, the one who had to retreat to stabilize himself was He Zhichu.
Taking advantage of He Zhichu's retreat, Huo Shaoheng had already entered the house and rushed to the guest room where Gu Nianzhi was.
By the time He Zhichu steadied himself, Huo Shaoheng had already entered the room.
He Zhichu sneered as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He closed the door and went to his bedroom to check on his injuries.
…
Huo Shaoheng arrived at the guest room where Gu Nianzhi was staying. As soon as he entered, he saw her sleeping quietly on the bed with a blanket wrapped around her. There was a small ice pack on her forehead.
Her breathing was steady, and her brows were relaxed. Her plump and plump lips had a natural curvature.
Other than her extremely pale face, he couldn't tell that she was sick.
Huo Shaoheng watched from the door for a while before slowly walking to Gu Nianzhi's bedside.
He bent down to remove the ice pack and used the back of his hand to feel Gu Nianzhi's forehead.
Even though there was an ice pack on her forehead, her forehead was still boiling hot.
Huo Shaoheng looked around and saw a small first-aid kit placed not far away.
The kit was half open, so He Zhichu must have used it.
Huo Shaoheng walked over and found an electronic thermometer to measure Gu Nianzhi's temperature.
40 degrees.
Fortunately, Huo Shaoheng also sighed in relief.
He had seen Gu Nianzhi's "off the charts" before, so 40 degrees was indeed "not bad" for her.
However, fever was the most damaging to one's vitality.
Even though 40 degrees wasn't the highest temperature for Gu Nianzhi, the torture her body experienced was exactly the same as a normal person's.
Her lips were dry and cracked like a withered flower, fragile like a feather. As long as a gust of wind blew, it would immediately scatter and disappear without a trace.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes ached when he recalled He Zhichu's angry words of "burning incense on his behalf."
He pursed his lips tightly and placed the ice pack on Gu Nianzhi's forehead before reaching under the blanket to touch her back.
It was still boiling hot, but she wasn't sweating.
The fever wouldn't go down if she didn't sweat.
Huo Shaoheng originally wanted to take Gu Nianzhi back, but seeing her like this, he couldn't just take her away like this.
He Zhichu walked over and knocked on the door. He said, "I made coffee. Do you want some?"
Huo Shaoheng wasn't sleepy at all, and he wouldn't eat or drink outside casually. He waved his hand. "No, thank you."
He Zhichu wasn't surprised. He brought the Colombian black coffee over and sat on the other side. He asked Huo Shaoheng bluntly, "Nianzhi went to receive the German delegation to China today. Did you ask her to go?"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi without blinking and slowly shook his head. "Would you believe me if I said no?"
"I would. Why wouldn't I believe you?" He Zhichu shrugged. "Reinitz is already here. If you still asked her to receive the German delegation, then I was wrong about you."
He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng both knew what kind of person Reinitz was.
They would never believe that Reinitz had any sincerity towards Gu Nianzhi.
They were both men, and it was almost an innate talent for them to put on a show.
If Gu Nianzhi really was a little girl who hadn't seen the world, Reinitz could take advantage of her at any time.
Huo Shaoheng recalled the scene he saw on the big screen in C City, and he couldn't get rid of the frustration in his heart.
However, he wouldn't mention this in front of He Zhichu. He only asked, "Then why did Professor He go to the Senate to pick up Nianzhi?"
His question was sharp and direct, and He Zhichu was instantly speechless.
After a while, he slowly said, "I just can't stand Reinitz putting on an act. If I didn't go, Reinitz would be the one taking care of Nianzhi like this today."
Huo Shaoheng suddenly looked up at He Zhichu. His voice was hoarse. "What did you say? What the hell happened? "
It was one thing for Reinitz and Gu Nianzhi to have a toast at the banquet, but how did it get to the point where he was taking care of her when she was sick?!
Huo Shaoheng couldn't figure out what clues he had missed.
"… Nianzhi saw the aurora in C City, and it was a huge shock to her," He Zhichu said simply. "She had nightmares the first half of the night and kept calling for her father."
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
