"You'll marry her just because you're grateful to her?" He Zhichu's view of relationships was different from He Chengjian's, but he didn't mean to judge. He just expressed that he didn't understand.
He Chengjian turned his head away and did not speak for a long time.
He wouldn't tell He Zhichu that he had married Qin Yaoguang partly because he pitied this woman for wasting half of her life, but mostly because of He Zhichu.
He Zhichu's illness was cured by Qin Yaoguang. It was said that he had recovered, but He Chengjian was still worried. As a father, he couldn't help but worry.
If he really recovered, of course, he would be more than happy. However, as a parent, he couldn't be too worried about his child's health.
Even if Gu Nianzhi was by He Zhichu's side, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't know how to treat him if he relapsed …
He knew that this was selfish, but to him, ever since Suwen passed away, he only had this son in his life.
This was his and Su Wen's son. No matter what price he had to pay, he wanted him to live well.
He Chengjian didn't want He Zhichu to know about this.
He frowned and said in a low voice, "This is between me and your Aunt Qin. I don't need to explain it to you."
"Then you don't have to worry about me and Nianzhi in the future!" He Zhichu narrowed his eyes, his expression very cold. "You've gone too far this time. Have you thought about the consequences if someone with ulterior motives uses you?!"
He Chengjian waved his hand disapprovingly. "No, you know, not just anyone can go there. We've used up too much magnetic energy this time. Even if someone wanted to use it, they wouldn't be able to. Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. Without magnetic energy, everything is empty. "
"Really?" He Zhichu sat up straight. "It's just taking Nianzhi home. Did you have to order people to torture and kill their people over there? That person was Nianzhi's friend! Are you trying to scare her to death?! "
He Chengjian was stunned for a moment and frowned. "What's going on? What the hell happened? Nianzhi said the same thing … "
"What did she say?" He Zhichu looked at He Chengjian. His brows were frosty and cold. "She told you everything?"
He Chengjian recalled Gu Nianzhi's words.
"… You sent people to kidnap me? Why did he do that? If you really treat me as family, why would you use such a bloody method?! … "
"… Regardless of the cost? So it's okay to kill and injure innocent people? … "
What did he say at that time?
"Blood? If you don't cooperate, they will naturally complete the mission at all costs. "
To him, he didn't care how those people carried out the mission. As long as the mission was completed, mistakes were inevitable.
When a general is out in the field, he cannot accept military orders.
As a soldier, he naturally understood this point.
However, that didn't mean that he would allow some people to go against him in secret.
He didn't ask about Gu Nianzhi's words because it wasn't that he didn't care, but He Zhichu's words forced him to think deeply.
Could it be that there were really problems during the mission?
He Chengjian stood up and walked around the living room with his hands behind his back. He said in a low voice, "Nianzhi didn't go into detail. She only mentioned bloody methods …"
He looked up at He Zhichu. "What bloody methods? You know about it? "
He Zhichu had been asked by Huo Shaoheng to assist in the investigation. He furrowed his brows and said angrily, "Your people shot Nianzhi's best friend ten times in front of her and broke her limbs. Do you think it's bloody?! "
"They shot?!" He Chengjian was also shocked. "Do we need to shoot to deal with the people over there?!"
The orders he gave weren't so brutal and bloody. Moreover, he didn't want to attract the other party's attention at all, so the quieter it was, the better.
"How could this be?" He Chengjian's face was livid. Just as he was about to call the five people on the mission over for questioning, he suddenly remembered that they had already undergone the memory-stripping surgery!
This meant that even if there really was a problem, they didn't know anything about it.
Whether it was because it had happened so suddenly that they had no choice but to resort to extreme and bloody methods, or because someone had instructed them to go against them in secret, they couldn't find any evidence.
This was the first time He Chengjian was deeply aware of the drawbacks of this kind of surgery.
Seeing that He Chengjian's face was livid, He Zhichu continued to ask, "Also, what about today? What's going on today?! Don't say that it was Nianzhi's fault today. I saw that man point a gun at Gu Nianzhi with my own eyes. Wen Shouyi restrained her from behind, and she was ready to commit suicide with a knife! "
He Chengjian didn't even look up as he said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you this morning? It's just that Yaoguang wants to talk to her and pass on her medical skills to her as long as she has the memory-stripping surgery. "
"Nonsense!" He Zhichu slammed his fist on the coffee table, his expression contorted with anger. "She no longer has any memories before she was 12 years old. Are you going to remove all her memories from there?! You're not giving her a way out! "
No wonder she was so disheartened that she tried to pull out a knife and commit suicide.
He Chengjian was stunned for a moment. "But, this is in your favor … She forgets the people over there, and you can start over with her."
"Nianzhi is a human being! She's not a doll that you guys control like a puppet! " He Zhichu gritted his teeth. He approached He Chengjian and said word by word, "Do you know when I really fell in love with her?"
"When?" He Chengjian was confused. "Haven't you always liked her?"
"No, that's different." He Zhichu closed his eyes and calmed himself down. He placed one hand on the armrest of the sofa and crossed his legs. He took a deep breath and said, "I really fell in love with her over there. The person I loved was the 18-year-old Gu Nianzhi."
That 18-year-old girl was so smart that it made his heart palpitate, and so cute that it made his heart ache.
That was where his feelings for her had unknowingly changed from doting to love.
The love between a man and a woman.
"… If you remove her memories from the other side, you'll kill the Gu Nianzhi I love." He Zhichu's voice was completely cold, bone-chilling. "Think about it, Mr. General He. If someone wanted to remove your mother's memories, would you be willing?"
"Of course not." He Chengjian subconsciously objected. "That's her everything. How could I let someone do that to her?"
"Yes, me too. So there's no need to talk about removing Nianzhi's memories anymore. " He Zhichu relaxed and said coldly, "Whoever wants to perform this surgery on her, I'll give them a taste of their own medicine. Letting the person undergoing the surgery have a taste of what it's like to have their memories removed will help them improve their medical skills. "
He Chengjian frowned and thought about it for a long time. He muttered, "… It seems that Nianzhi was right. This kind of surgery definitely has a lot of drawbacks. There's a possibility of abuse."
He Zhichu's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "… What did Nianzhi do this time? She's only been back for two days, right? Why does it seem like she's already done a lot of things? "
He Chengjian came back to his senses and smiled. He said admiringly, "This little girl is very interesting. Needless to say, she's smart. At least she inherited more than half of that lunatic's IQ. She's amazing! What's even more interesting is that she's very good at the law. I can tell that she really likes the law. When she speaks, her three sentences are always about the law. It's really interesting. "
He Zhichu smiled faintly. "… When she was young, her mother also doted on her. In the first two years, her mother took care of her personally. It's not strange that she fell in love with the law. "
"Do you still remember her birthday wish when she was 12 years old? She wanted to become a big lawyer. "He Zhichu was immersed in the memories of the past, and his heart warmed up.
Perhaps this was indeed his chance.
Now that Gu Nianzhi was back, wouldn't they have more opportunities?
He Chengjian thought of his late wife and felt very uncomfortable. Finally, he couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and said, "You have full authority over Nianzhi's matters. I won't interfere. You're right. This is between the two of you. You can make your own decisions. That's all I can help you with. "
He Zhichu saw his father's suddenly dejected expression and knew that he must have thought of his mother.
He regretted speaking too harshly just now.
He stood up as well. "I'll take you back. Have you been taking your medicine recently?"
He Chengjian quickly slowed down and waited for He Zhichu to catch up.
The father and son walked to He Chengjian's study together.
He Chengjian's study was on the second floor. It was a large suite with a bedroom.
He spent most of his time resting in his study.
The two of them had just come down from the third floor when they saw Gu Nianzhi return.
She had just finished a full set of skincare routines.
Her skin was already fair and delicate, but now it was as smooth as a glowing bottle. It was as if the snow-white skin had seeped out from within, exquisite and translucent.
However, she was still very dispirited. When she looked at people, she seemed to be at a loss. She was no longer as spirited, confident, and independent as she used to be.
He Zhichu sighed.
He couldn't let Gu Nianzhi's spirit be knocked down by this matter.
Ever since He Zhichu found Gu Nianzhi, he had kept his mouth shut about her past because he didn't want something like today to happen.
"Let's go. Come with me to the hospital." He Zhichu walked over and put his arm around her shoulder. "I'll take you to see … Auntie Qin."
Gu Nianzhi's body visibly trembled. "… She's dead?"
"No." He Zhichu's voice was very gentle. "She only hurt her hand. How could she die so easily?"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She was indeed still in the midst of a huge shock.
However, He Zhichu's voice had a great comforting effect on her.
She tugged at the corner of He Zhichu's shirt and looked up at him. She asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened? Can you tell me about it? My head is about to explode. "
President Pushin, Vladimir, the chauffeur, Qin Yaoguang, who looked exactly like Gu Xiangwen's wife, and Speaker Long. These were all people she could see who looked exactly the same.
And they also said "this side", "that side", and "opposite side".
It sounded like there really were two worlds.
Was this real?
Was it not her imagination?
He Zhichu held her hand and found that her little palm was covered in sweat. It was cold, and her body was trembling slightly.
He Chengjian watched coldly from the side. He wanted Gu Nianzhi to know what price He Zhichu had paid for her …
He raised his chin and said calmly, "Ah-Chu, you should explain it to her. Otherwise, she won't be able to figure it out on her own. Do you still want to keep her in the dark? "
Gu Nianzhi calmed down and said faintly, "I want to know the truth. Really, tell me. As long as it's the truth, no matter how cruel or unbelievable it is, I can accept it. But don't lie to me. "
