Gu Nianzhi ran into Zhao Liangze at the breakfast spot.
"Come and sit." Zhao Liangze pulled out a high-back chair for her. "Breakfast is good. Have some corn chowder and crab cheese chowder."
Gu Nianzhi's stomach growled when she saw the delicacies.
Zhao Liangze patted her head with a smile. "Hurry up and eat. You're so hungry you can't even talk."
After breakfast, they bid farewell to He Zhichu and left.
He Zhichu was in the study dealing with business and didn't see them. He only sent a butler to get a driver to take them back.
After Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze left, He Zhichu ordered someone to call Wen Shouyi over.
Wen Shouyi wore a baggy white striped hospital gown. She had changed into it on the Navy warship.
Her face was pale, and her right cheek still had a handprint from He Zhichu's slap. Her round face was visibly haggard, and her lips were dry and peeling. Only her slender eyes remained calm and steady.
Heavy dark green velvet curtains hung from the study window, and dark gold curtains hung diagonally from hooks on either side of the window.
The lights weren't turned on, and only a blue Tiffany table lamp on He Zhichu's desk was on.
He Zhichu's face was hidden behind the table lamp, and he looked at her darkly without speaking.
Although Wen Shouyi was prepared, He Zhichu's gaze still made her sweat profusely.
She tried her best to remain calm. After a while, she said, "Professor He, why did you want to see me?"
"What happened on the cruise yesterday? Where did those pirates come from? " He Zhichu leaned against the large leather chair in the study, playing with a silver revolver in his hand. "Don't tell me you don't know anything."
Wen Shouyi's eyes suddenly reddened. She closed them and choked out, "I really don't know anything. If Professor He doesn't believe me, you can kill me. My whole family is from the He family. My family won't complain if you kill me. "
"You think I wouldn't dare?" He Zhichu spun the gun in his hand and aimed it at Wen Shouyi. He said coldly, "Who do you think you are? Don't think I wouldn't dare to touch you just because my father sent you to me. "
Wen Shouyi's tears flowed uncontrollably, but she still kept her eyes closed. She did not open them, nor did she argue. She looked like she was ready to be beaten and killed.
He Zhichu pointed the gun at her for a long time but didn't fire.
"… Remember this. If Nianzhi hadn't interceded for you, you would have been carried out and buried a long time ago." He Zhichu put the gun away and tossed it into the drawer. He leaned back against the back of the chair. "Tell me, if it wasn't you, then who was it? Who dares touch my ship? Who wants their lives? "
He Zhichu had bought the cruise ship specifically for Gu Nianzhi's 18th birthday. Unfortunately, it had been destroyed by the pirates.
Wen Shouyi's eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes. She touched the wound on her chest and thought for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Professor He, I really don't know who did this to me. But I found something even more interesting. "
"What's more interesting? Don't try to change the subject. "He Zhichu looked at her without moving, his voice cold and distant.
Wen Shouyi lowered her eyes and went through the entire sequence of events in her mind. She said, "It's about Gu Nianzhi."
"Speak."
"This happened so suddenly that I thought we were all doomed. In the end, Gu Nianzhi and her guardian really opened my eyes. Their marksmanship was just too good. You only invited them to the cruise ship for your birthday, but they actually brought sniper rifles and semi-automatic submachine guns! Think about it, what kind of person would bring these things on a trip? "
He Zhichu was taken aback. "They brought their own guns?"
He had seen the guns in Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze's hands yesterday and thought they had gotten them from the pirates.
After all, they were all American brands, so he didn't think of anything else.
He wasn't surprised that Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze knew how to play with guns.
Shooting was indeed a sport, and many people liked it.
Of course, shooting was not a sport that everyone could afford to play.
"Yes, I saw them take it out of the suitcase with my own eyes." Wen Shouyi's nervous mood finally relaxed. "Also, her resume states that her parents died and she grew up with a guardian. However, her guardian had changed in such a short period of time. Tell me, what kind of family would have two grown men as their guardians? "
He Zhichu leaned forward and clasped his hands together on the desk. His brows furrowed.
"Also, we ran a check on her according to her resume. Since her birth, it's been flawless. There's no abnormality at all. Everything has witnesses and physical evidence. Don't you think it's funny? It's obvious that none of it is real, but it's made to look like it is. If we hadn't obtained her blood sample and investigated her background, it would have been impossible for anyone else to know that the evidence was fake. What kind of person could fabricate something like this? " Wen Shouyi's lips finally revealed a trace of mockery, but she quickly suppressed it and resumed her respectful demeanor. "I just want to remind Professor He not to be blinded by the past. The power behind her is unimaginably powerful. "
"So what?" He Zhichu didn't find it strange at all. "Someone like Nianzhi can be protected by someone with no background at all? Speaking of which, I have to thank the power behind her. If it weren't for them, I can't imagine what Nianzhi has gone through in the past six years. "
Wen Shouyi didn't expect He Zhichu to be so protective. Her heart ached, and the wound on her chest seemed to hurt even more. She pressed her hand on the wound and forced a smile. "Of course. I know she's very important to you, so I protected her at all costs. I was even willing to take a bullet for her. Professor He, you don't have to worry about me saving Nianzhi. She never liked me. No matter what I do, she thinks I have ulterior motives. I'm used to it. "
"Really?" He Zhichu looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to see through her facade and see what she was thinking deep in her heart.
Wen Shouyi tried her best to remain calm. She frowned occasionally, but that was because her wound hurt too much.
He Zhichu looked at her quietly for a while and finally waved her away. "Go back. Rest well for the next two months. Don't go to school. Send me a list of what you're doing. I'll ask the school to find me another teaching assistant. "
Wen Shouyi didn't dare to say no. In addition, she was seriously injured and needed to recuperate. She didn't want to become disabled because of this.
…
Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze returned to their apartment and could finally relax and talk.
"What a shame. So many of my favorite things sank to the bottom of the Caribbean Sea." Gu Nianzhi said regretfully. She took out a box of yogurt from the fridge and opened it to eat.
Zhao Liangze rolled his eyes at her. "Those things are nothing. I'm the one who lost a lot of good things. Oh right, I need to contact Big Xiong and ask him to get me another set. Without those things, I feel like I'm running around naked online. "
The only things they had on them were their phones and nothing else.
Gu Nianzhi giggled and pointed at Zhao Liangze. "You're used to being a hacker. Of course you're afraid of someone snooping on your computer." She looked around and glanced at Zhao Liangze's computer.
"Don't even think about it." Zhao Liangze patted her head. "Go wash up and sleep. I think you didn't sleep well. "
"How can I sleep in someone else's house?" Gu Nianzhi shook her head self-deprecatingly. "I'm going in." She walked into her bedroom and closed the door. However, she wasn't in a hurry to go to the bathroom.
She took out her phone and dialed Huo Shaoheng's number.
