Lu Yuan was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay, go ahead. You must be careful."
Huo Shaoheng nodded and said, "You should tell Uncle Lu about Nianzhi's situation. Although he might not have thought of this, he will know what to do as long as you remind him."
Lu Yuan understood what Huo Shaoheng meant, but his considerations were different.
"… It's useless to tell Lu Jin. He'll worry for nothing. Also, he can be very impulsive sometimes, especially when it comes to his beloved daughter. I'm afraid he won't think the same as you. "
Huo Shaoheng thought about it seriously and felt that what Lu Yuan said made sense.
Just like how Lu Yuan's understanding of He Chengjian was not as deep as Huo Shaoheng's, Huo Shaoheng's understanding of Lu Jin was not as thorough as Lu Yuan's.
"Alright then. Do as you see fit. I'll go to the He residence first." Huo Shaoheng had already thought of an excuse.
He changed into a Soviet-made military coat and still wore the Soviet-made military cap with sable inside and outside. He dressed up nobly and had a cold expression. He specially asked the embassy's driver to drive him as the Deputy Chief Consul of the Soviet Union in Huaxia Empire. He officially visited the He residence.
This time, he went to the He family's house under the guise of talking about the big explosion in the revolving restaurant two days ago. Because he was one of the people present and had a special identity, He Chengjian would not not see him.
…
Gu Nianzhi sat in the bulletproof car sent by He Chengjian and headed to the He family's mansion.
She was a little uneasy about He Zhichu's condition and didn't know if she had made the right decision.
If He Zhichu was really unconscious, He Chengjian would have sent him to the hospital instead of rushing to take him there.
However, if He Zhichu hadn't been unconscious, He Zhichu would have opposed whatever He Chengjian did to her to the end.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi was still feeling uneasy when she arrived at the living room of the He family's mansion. She didn't know what He Chengjian was up to.
He Chengjian walked down the stairs in a smoky gray cashmere cardigan. His custom-made trousers of the same color were neatly ironed. If it weren't for the slight gray at his temples, he wouldn't have looked old.
He always had a slight smile on his face, and he looked more amiable than the aloof He Zhichu.
However, Gu Nianzhi knew that this person was truly warm on the outside but cold on the inside. Other than the military, he only had eyes for his wife and son.
This time, Gu Nianzhi was really flattered that He Chengjian had offered to let her be his lawyer.
"General He." Gu Nianzhi nodded at him politely. "May I ask where Young Master He is? I want to see him. "
He Chengjian stopped and said calmly, "He just came back from a full body checkup at the military general hospital. Do you want to go up and see him?"
"Did a full body checkup? Did you find out what the problem was? Is Young Master He awake? "Gu Nianzhi followed He Chengjian to the curved stairs.
"I didn't find any problems." He Chengjian frowned slightly. "But he just won't wake up. I'm very worried."
"That's good." Gu Nianzhi walked up the curved staircase. "Does he have a doctor to look after him?"
"There are doctors who check up on him every day. His orderlies usually take care of him."
As they spoke, the two of them arrived in front of He Zhichu's bedroom. He Chengjian pushed open the door to He Zhichu's bedroom. "Go in and see him. I don't know what happened, but he suddenly fainted. "
Gu Nianzhi walked into He Zhichu's bedroom. This was a place she was familiar with. She quickly arrived in front of He Zhichu's bed and saw that it had been modified into a multi-purpose bed.
He Zhichu's face was covered with an oxygen mask from the ventilator. He lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
His skin was already white, but now it was as white as snow.
His thin lips were slightly pursed, and the faint red on his lips was almost invisible.
For the first time, Gu Nianzhi realized that He Zhichu's eyelashes were so thick and fine. They covered the sides of his fair eyes and face like two soul-stirring arcs.
He was too quiet, so quiet that he didn't seem to be alive at all.
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank as she looked at him motionless. A dull pain rose from her heart. She felt her nose sting and her eyes moisten.
She couldn't help walking over and calling out softly, "Young Master He? Young Master He? Can you hear me? "
He Zhichu didn't move. The shallow breathing in the oxygen mask didn't even change.
"How could this be?" Before she saw He Zhichu, Gu Nianzhi hadn't been very worried. She had even thought that it was because He Zhichu had been guarding the operating theater for a day and a night that he had fainted from exhaustion.
But now that she saw him like this, she realized that she had been too optimistic.
"… He's been like this since I went to the Qin Corporation's private hospital to pick him up." He Chengjian walked over and bent down to tuck He Zhichu in. "… It really looks like how he used to look when he had his illness."
When He Zhichu had his illness more than a decade ago, Gu Nianzhi was still young, so she hadn't actually seen it with her own eyes.
Of course, even if she had seen it with her own eyes, she had forgotten it all now that she had lost her memories at the age of 12.
"But Young Master He told me that he had recovered," Gu Nianzhi said subconsciously. She combed her drooping hair with her hand. "I've checked the information. Diseases that are cured at the genetic level won't relapse. If there's a relapse, then either he hasn't been cured at all, or he has another disease. "
He Chengjian nodded. "That's what the doctor said too. He also said that if his vital signs are normal, don't worry about it for the time being. If he wants to sleep, let him sleep. "
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief. "I also hope that he's just asleep. However, I still don't understand. Young Master He stayed in that ward for a day and a night, right? How did he end up like this? "
It didn't seem like he was overworked.
"What exactly did he do in there?"
"He didn't do anything," He Chengjian said coldly. "I looked at the surveillance footage of that ward. They were actually very normal that night. "
He Zhichu had been sitting on the sofa in the corner. Qin Yaoguang was sitting in front of Old Master Qin's bed in a light green surgical gown. Old Master Qin was sleeping comfortably in the oxygen mask.
"Do you have the surveillance footage of that ward? Can you show it to me? " Gu Nianzhi asked curiously. "Also, you said that you want me to be your lawyer. May I ask if you're sincere?"
"Of course." He Chengjian stared at her. For the first time, he realized that Gu Nianzhi's expression when she spoke was actually quite similar to Qin Suwen's.
Although the two of them looked completely different, every frown, smile, and every move they made made people inexplicably think of Qin Suwen.
This was a kind of similarity in temperament and personality between the two of them. It was an existence that was more profound than their appearance.
Because of this similarity, He Chengjian's heart softened.
He said gently, "Of course it's true. I arrested Qin Yaoguang and Qin Baoye … "
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "You didn't arrest them. You invited them back to 'help treat' Young Master He's illness."
He Chengjian sighed and couldn't help rubbing Gu Nianzhi's head with his hand. "No wonder everyone loves you."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and thought to herself, I don't dare expect you to love me. As long as you don't point your sniper rifle at me, I'll be thankful …
She deliberately avoided the topic and said, "Because of Qin Yaoguang and Old Master Qin, Wen Shouyi said she was going to send you a lawyer's letter, right?"
"She didn't say she was going to send me a lawyer's letter." He Chengjian shook his head. "But she said she was going to sue us."
Sending a lawyer's letter and a lawsuit were two different things.
From sending a lawyer's letter to going to court, there were still many steps to go through.
"Okay, then let's fight." Gu Nianzhi didn't think much of it. She looked at He Chengjian inquiringly. "General He, can you show me the surveillance footage of that ward?"
He Chengjian nodded. "Sure, it's in my study."
Gu Nianzhi knew that He Chengjian's study had always been off-limits to outsiders.
She used to have the right to enter, but now, she no longer had the right.
However, He Chengjian didn't seem to care. He stood up and said, "Follow me."
Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed, but she didn't follow him. Instead, she said, "Why don't you take it to this room and I'll watch it on my laptop? I want to stay here with Young Master He for a while. "
"That works too." He Chengjian saw that Gu Nianzhi had taken the initiative to take care of He Zhichu, so his impression of her improved a little. His voice became even gentler. "Then I'll go get the surveillance footage. I'll send it to you in the flash drive."
As soon as he walked out of He Zhichu's bedroom, he saw his orderly jogging over and saying, "Chief, Mr. Peter, the Deputy Chief Consul of the Soviet Union in Huaxia Empire, requests an audience. He said he has something important to discuss with General He."
