Gu Nianzhi frowned and watched as the door was pushed open. Two elegantly dressed women stood at the door.
Wen Shouyi was an old acquaintance. Gu Nianzhi glanced at her first.
Wen Shouyi winked at her and curled her lips into a smile.
Gu Nianzhi remained calm. Her gaze shifted to the middle-aged woman standing next to her, and she was shocked.
This person, this person, this person's appearance …
She used all the strength in her body to control the urge to scream out loud.
She clenched her fists, and her nails dug into the flesh of her palms.
A sharp pain came from her palms, and her mind finally snapped out of its frenzy.
Looking at the middle-aged woman who was smiling elegantly, Gu Nianzhi's heart pounded again when she thought of the identical Pushin, Vladimir, the chauffeur, Ivan, and Speaker Long.
She felt as if she had understood something, but she also felt that it was too unbelievable.
The middle-aged woman's gaze only flashed past her face before landing on He Chengjian, who was standing opposite Gu Nianzhi.
"Brother He, you should take your medicine now." She walked over and held He Chengjian's arm. Her voice was exceptionally gentle. "Go take your medicine first."
"I've already taken it." He Chengjian patted the back of her hand and quietly pulled his arm out. He looked at Gu Nianzhi and said, "This is Nianzhi. You've met her, haven't you?"
The middle-aged woman was Qin Yaoguang. She glanced at Gu Nianzhi perfunctorily and nodded indifferently. "It's good that you're back."
Her tone was stiff and self-restrained, as if she was restraining her emotions and trying her best to appear indifferent.
Gu Nianzhi stared at her in a daze. It took all her strength to shift her gaze away from her curvy lips.
The middle-aged woman had an oval face, but her jaw was slightly square. It wasn't abrupt, but it made her feel very charming.
However, although it was obvious that she wasn't young, there were no wrinkles on her face at all. Her skin was snow-white and smooth.
Her hands looked strong, with long, bony fingers and round, well-manicured nails.
She was wearing a white silk blouse with a white lapel and three-quarter sleeves, slender and straight black pencil pants, and a pair of white flat shoes. She was tall, and her black hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head. She tilted her head to look at He Chengjian, her gaze focused and affectionate.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her quietly, and no one in the room spoke.
He Chengjian and Wen Shouyi both stared at them.
Qin Yaoguang seemed to have finally noticed Gu Nianzhi's unusual gaze on her. She frowned slightly and said, "Didn't anyone teach you that it's rude to stare at you like this?"
The disgust and impatience in his tone were undisguised.
Gu Nianzhi was in a state of extreme shock.
However, as soon as Qin Yaoguang spoke, her tone was like a bucket of cold water being poured over Gu Nianzhi's head, causing her to completely wake up.
No, they are different.
Gu Nianzhi calmly warned herself. She put her hands in her trouser pockets and raised her chin slightly. "I see that you're old. I respect the old and love the young, so I won't lower myself to your level. But you suddenly barged into my room and didn't even introduce yourself. Instead, you scolded me for being rude and shouldn't have stared at you. May I ask where your etiquette and upbringing are? You've lived for so many years, and you've thrown it all away? "
Qin Yaoguang's face darkened, and she said stiffly, "You're talking to me like that? It looks like you haven't improved at all after being there for seven years. You don't have to care about who I am. Get ready for tomorrow's surgery. "
"What surgery?" Gu Nianzhi deliberately asked curiously. "I don't think there's anything wrong with my body?"
"The memory-stripping surgery," Qin Yaoguang said lightly. Qin Yaoguang said lightly, "According to our confidentiality rules, everyone who has been there has to undergo this kind of surgery."
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi had actually already argued with He Chengjian once. She crossed her arms over her chest and her face was dark. "I'm sorry, I just told General He that I'm not from your side. I'm not governed by your law."
"Of course you're from our side. Don't think that just because you've been there for seven years, you've become from there." Qin Yaoguang didn't back down at all. "Do you want me to show you your identity document and birth certificate?"
Gu Nianzhi's heart couldn't help sinking, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Is it true that everyone who has been there has to undergo this kind of surgery?"
"Not only have they been there, but anyone who knows anything about that place also has to undergo a memory-stripping surgery." Qin Yaoguang shook her slender fingers. "So you don't have to feel unfair. Everyone has to do it, and no one can escape. "
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi's gaze was fixed on Wen Shouyi. "She's been there too. Does that mean she has to undergo this kind of surgery too?"
She then pointed at Qin Yaoguang. "Also, you also know about that place. Do you have to undergo this kind of surgery too?"
"We're different from you." Qin Yaoguang's voice was very calm. "Shouyi and I have very high security levels. We don't have to undergo this kind of memory-stripping surgery."
"What about Qin Zhining?" Gu Nianzhi blurted out. "Does he need to undergo this kind of surgery?"
"Of course. His surgery has already been completed. "Wen Shouyi said with a smile," But he's still recovering. When you see him in the future, remember to introduce yourself! Because he doesn't remember you anymore. "
Gu Nianzhi's face gradually turned pale.
She couldn't help taking two steps back, wanting to stay away from these people.
If she got any closer to them, she felt like the air in front of her was going to be sucked dry.
When she got closer to them, she felt her chest tighten.
Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists, loosened and tightened them. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, "You're General He's stepwife. It's one thing for you to have a high security level, but what right does she have?"
She continued to point at Wen Shouyi with an indignant expression.
"What right does she have?" Qin Yaoguang chuckled. "She's a top law student at Harvard University. She's also the head of the military's legal department. She's also one of Zhichu's personal secretaries. Tell me, why isn't her security level high?"
"And the Qin Zhining you're talking about is only a lieutenant colonel in the special forces. His security level is completely insufficient."
Gu Nianzhi was confused by the news. "Personal … personal secretary? Why does Professor He have a personal secretary? "
"Professor He? You mean Zhichu? " Qin Yaoguang sighed and shook her head. "This child, instead of being a major general, he risked his life to be a powerless professor on your side. I don't need to tell you how much he loves you, do I?"
"Major … major general?!" Gu Nianzhi squeezed out the words from between her teeth. "How did Professor He become a major general?!"
"His father is a general and the head of the military's Supreme Council. He joined the army in his early years and was promoted from a lieutenant to a major general. Don't you remember that? " Qin Yaoguang's tone was filled with pity as she shook her head slightly. "Sigh, I'm very sorry that you lost your memories before you were 12 years old."
Gu Nianzhi was at a loss for a moment. Only one sentence echoed in her mind: "He Zhichu is a major general"..
He wasn't an experienced lawyer, nor was he an academic professor. He was originally a soldier?
Gu Nianzhi seemed to understand something when she thought of He Zhichu's extraordinary skills and his extraordinarily powerful weapons.
So that was how it was.
Wen Shouyi helped Qin Yaoguang sit down on the sofa and said proudly, "Brother Ah-Chu has always been very powerful. He has a doctorate in law from Yale, and after joining the army, he has made many contributions. He is truly a master of both literature and martial arts!"
Gu Nianzhi was shocked by Wen Shouyi's "brother Ah-Chu".
She had always suspected that Wen Shouyi had a crush on He Zhichu, and now it had finally been confirmed.
"… brother Ah-Chu." The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched. "Wen Shouyi, does Professor He know that you miss Professor He so much?"
Wen Shouyi didn't seem to care at all. She said, "I've always called him that. I've been calling him that since seven years ago."
"After you left, Zhichu fell seriously ill and almost died. It was Shouyi calling him 'brother Ah-Chu' that gave Zhichu the motivation to live on. "
Qin Yaoguang held Wen Shouyi's arm. "Shouyi took care of him by Zhichu's bed for an entire year before he got better."
He Chengjian also said, "Shouyi has indeed contributed to our family. Without her, Zhichu really wouldn't have been able to live at that time …"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She didn't quite understand what he meant.
She clearly remembered that He Zhichu didn't have a good attitude towards Wen Shouyi. It didn't seem like he had the motivation to live on just because she called him that.
Wen Shouyi smiled bitterly and lowered her head.
That year was the best year of her life.
Unfortunately, it was too short.
Because after He Zhichu woke up, he didn't bother to pretend to be nice to her.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and said calmly, "I don't believe it. Unless Professor He stands in front of me and says that it's because of you that he has the motivation to live on. Otherwise, it's all a rumor. "
"You're really stubborn." Qin Yaoguang chuckled. "When Zhichu comes back, let him tell you himself."
"Okay, please don't tell me about the surgery before Professor He comes back." Gu Nianzhi deliberately stalled for time. She put her hands in her trouser pockets and said aloofly, "Please leave my room now. I want to rest."
