"General He?" Gu Nianzhi had just woken up and didn't react for a moment. She asked suspiciously, "Who's General He? I'll go just because he wants me to? Besides, who are you? Why should I go wherever you want me to go? "
She was standing at the door and saying this, so it was recorded by the surveillance cameras.
Not only did the He family's security personnel see it clearly, but even He Chengjian, who was in the study, saw it.
His eyes were glued to her swagger.
He Chengjian's almond-shaped eyes curved slightly, and the deep lines at the corners of his eyes added to his charm.
He laughed and shook his head. "This little girl, I didn't think she was so vigilant before."
As he spoke, he stood up. "Go to the third floor."
Gu Nianzhi's room was on the third floor.
..
The maid in front of Gu Nianzhi looked at her, tongue-tied. "Miss Gu, I'm Hui Lan, the He family's housekeeper. What else do you want to ask?"
Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and looked her up and down. She nodded. "Yes, do you have an ID?"
Maid Hui Lan: "…"
"My ID is in my room." She didn't dare not answer. "But now Lord He wants to see you. Please come down with me first, and I'll show you my ID."
"That won't do." Gu Nianzhi rejected immediately. "I don't know you. What if you're a bad person and want to trick me out to kidnap me or kill me?"
Maid Hui Lan was speechless. She smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Gu, I'm not a bad person.
"I don't know you. How do I know if you're a bad person?" Gu Nianzhi raised her head and almost tapped her feet. "Besides, bad people don't carve words on their foreheads."
Maid Hui Lan had never seen such a vigilant little girl. She had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go get my ID?"
"Yes, hurry up and show me." Gu Nianzhi reached out and tapped her shoulder. "Call Qin Zhining to see me while you're at it."
"You mean Mr. Qin?" Maid Hui Lan didn't know that Qin Zhining had gone for surgery. She only said, "He went home. Are you looking for him?"
"Yes, ask him to come see me." Gu Nianzhi put on a "I won't go out unless you ask Qin Zhining to come" posture.
Hui Lan, the maid, urged her for a long time, but Gu Nianzhi refused to go to General He's study on the second floor with her. She had no choice but to grimace and say, "Miss Gu, most people are not allowed to enter General He's study. Why did you …"
"… Don't know what's good for you? Right? " Gu Nianzhi helped her say it and said coldly, "I'm unfamiliar with this place, so I have to be more cautious. Please forgive me, Miss Huilan. "
"You flatter me, you flatter me." Hui Lan, the maid, left hurriedly to talk to her boss.
However, just as he walked to the staircase, he saw General He coming over with two personal secretaries.
She quickly bowed and moved aside, whispering, "General He, Miss Gu refuses to go …"
"General He understands. You can leave now."
He Chengjian didn't say anything. The person who spoke was his personal secretary.
Maid Huilan hurriedly ran down to the third floor, not daring to stay for even a second longer.
All the housekeeping staff were afraid of He Chengjian.
It wasn't that he wasn't good to them, but that his aura was too scary.
Everyone in the Huaxia Empire knew that although their country's leaders were General He of the military, Speaker Long of the Senate, and Prime Minister Xie of the cabinet, General He was the one who really made the decisions.
The other two didn't dare to say no in front of him.
Having been in such a position for a long time, his aura was naturally not something ordinary high-ranking officials could compare to.
However, when he walked up to Gu Nianzhi, he realized that the little girl wasn't afraid of him at all.
She looked him up and down, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "You're … Professor He's father?!"
They were too alike, too damn alike, especially the pair of shimmering almond-shaped eyes.
She had asked Qin Zhining about it when she saw him on TV yesterday.
Now that she had seen him in person, she was even more certain that General He was He Zhichu's father.
Gu Nianzhi was slightly relieved when she thought of Professor He.
Professor He was sincerely doing this for her own good. His father probably wouldn't make things difficult for her, right?
He Chengjian also looked at Gu Nianzhi carefully and thought to himself, I didn't expect that lunatic to have such a beautiful daughter. She really changed a lot …
When she came to their house when she was six years old, she was an ordinary, chubby little girl. Only his stupid son, He Zhichu, treated her like a treasure.
Of course, there was also his first wife, Qin Suwen, who also doted on this little girl.
It was because of her appearance that He Zhichu's life was saved.
Like Qin Suwen, He Chengjian was filled with gratitude towards Gu Nianzhi. He had also treated her as his own family and daughter-in-law since he was young.
"You're Gu Nianzhi?" He Chengjian's attitude softened. "I heard you don't want to see me?"
Gu Nianzhi blushed and twisted her hands in front of her. Her fingers were almost twisted into fried dough twists.
She whispered, "… I just arrived in a strange place. I can't be careless … Mr. He, is Professor He home?"
He Chengjian said calmly, "He hasn't come back yet, but he'll be soon."
He Zhichu should have realized what had happened by now.
He Chengjian believed that He Zhichu would be back soon.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. "Then when will you send me back?"
"Go back?" He Chengjian raised an eyebrow and narrowed his almond-shaped eyes. "This is your home. Where are you going?"
As he spoke, he walked towards Gu Nianzhi's room.
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to make way and follow behind He Chengjian.
The two personal secretaries stood at the door like door gods and closed the door for them.
Gu Nianzhi and He Chengjian were the only ones in the spacious living room.
"Sit." He Chengjian came in and asked Gu Nianzhi to sit down like the host.
Although Gu Nianzhi felt awkward, she still sat down properly.
She stared into He Chengjian's eyes and asked, "Mr. He, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, you just came back. We haven't seen each other in seven years. I wanted to talk to you and ask if you're used to living here. This is your home. If there's anything you're not used to, you must tell me immediately, "He Chengjian said gently.
He hadn't said this to anyone in seven years.
Ever since Gu Nianzhi suddenly disappeared in front of He Zhichu seven years ago, He Zhichu had been ill.
He was furious and had issued a secret order to search for Gu Nianzhi and that lunatic throughout the country.
For three whole years, the father and son had barely spoken to each other.
It was only later when they finally received news that Gu Nianzhi might have gone to the other side that He Zhichu got up from his hospital bed and insisted on going to the other side to find her.
The past was vivid, and He Chengjian's gaze was unpredictable.
Gu Nianzhi didn't know what He Chengjian was thinking. She made up her mind to figure things out first.
"Mr. He, thank you for your hospitality." Gu Nianzhi pointed at her head. "But I don't remember what happened seven years ago. If you want to reminisce about the past with me, please forgive me for having nothing to say."
He Chengjian nodded. "I know you don't remember what happened before you were 12."
Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes and gripped her phone tightly with one hand.
"… But that doesn't matter. In a few days, after your surgery, Zhichu will be back, and you can start over. "
He Chengjian didn't talk about Gu Nianzhi's engagement to Huo Shaoheng, as if it hadn't happened.
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank. Could it be that this person had really ordered her to be brought back?
She thought about how she had been kidnapped. It had been such a big deal, yet she had been able to hide it from Huo Shaoheng. Other than this big shot, no one else had the ability and power to do so, right?
Gu Nianzhi looked up. Her deep eyes were as dark as ink. "You sent people to kidnap me? Why did you do that? If you really treated me as family, why would you use such a bloody method?! "
"Bloody?" He Chengjian chuckled. "If you didn't cooperate, they would naturally have to complete the mission at all costs."
To He Chengjian, he actually didn't care how those people carried out the mission. As long as the mission was completed, it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes in the process.
When a general was outside, he didn't accept military orders.
He was a soldier, so he naturally understood this.
"At all costs? So it's okay to kill and injure innocent people? " Gu Nianzhi was angry and disappointed. "Professor He is so nice. I didn't expect his father to be such a person!"
He Chengjian didn't care about Gu Nianzhi's rudeness. He only heard Gu Nianzhi say "Professor He is so nice" and couldn't help smiling. "It's fine as long as you know that Zhichu is good to you. Don't worry about anything else."
Gu Nianzhi: "!!!"
There was really no way to talk about this day.
She turned her head angrily. "What you're doing is illegal. I'm telling you!"
"Illegal?" He Chengjian was even more amused. "What law did I break?"
"You ordered private armed forces to injure innocent citizens. You went against my will and kidnapped me to this place, and you still say you didn't break the law?" Gu Nianzhi spoke logically when it came to the legal profession. "I never knew that the Huaxia Empire allowed legal private armed forces!"
"The Huaxia Empire here isn't the Huaxia Empire you've experienced." He Chengjian looked at her firmly. He was attracted by the way she talked about the law. "You studied law over there?"
"Yes, I'm determined to be the best lawyer." Gu Nianzhi nodded.
"It looks like your memories from before you were 12 haven't completely disappeared." He Chengjian frowned. "You've been determined to be the best lawyer since you were young."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"That's a coincidence. It means that a person's ambition is hidden deep in their heart, like instinct. Even if they lose their memories, they still know what they have to do. "Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes.
"That … makes sense." He Chengjian nodded and stood up. "Alright, it's good to know that you're fine. Rest well and prepare for the surgery tomorrow. "
"What surgery?!" Gu Nianzhi became alert and recalled Wen Shouyi's words.
"The memory-stripping surgery." He Chengjian looked at her and said calmly, "According to our law, you can't keep your memories from the other side."
"Why?!" Gu Nianzhi raised her chin slightly. "I'm not from your side. Your law doesn't apply to me."
He Chengjian had never heard anyone refute his opinion in such a way. He smiled and put his hands in his trouser pockets. He said calmly, "Yes, that makes sense, but …"
He was about to continue when Qin Yaoguang's voice came from the door. "Brother He? Nianzhi? Are you guys inside? "
Gu Nianzhi had never heard this voice before. She put down her crossed arms and looked at He Chengjian. "… Who is this?"
He Chengjian's expression darkened. "Rude."
As he spoke, he raised his voice and said to the door, "Yaoguang, come in."
