Gu Nianzhi didn't expect Lu Jin's reaction to be so intense. She was stunned.
Sitting there all alone, he suddenly felt at a loss as to what to do.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and pulled the slightly lonely figure into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
He didn't say anything, but his warm embrace was the best comfort and support.
Gu Nianzhi's heart warmed, and she snuggled closer to Huo Shaoheng.
Lu Yuan and Lu Jin were looking at each other nervously, so they didn't notice Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi whispering to each other.
Lu Yuan's expression didn't change, but there was a hint of anger in his voice. "… Do you have to be like a patient who is afraid of treatment and can't face reality?"
"What do you mean reality? The reality is that I'm a murderer! Since Nianzhi is fine, it's time for me to go back and plead guilty. "Lu Jin's face was livid. This time, he didn't back down at all.
"Okay, you say you're a murderer. Then tell me, how did you do it? How did Qin Suwen die? Tell me the details! Let me tell you, if you don't make up the details, the police won't convict you just because you say 'I'm a murderer'. "
Lu Yuan slapped the armrest of his seat and lost his temper, which was rare for him.
He pointed in Gu Nianzhi's direction and said, "… Why don't you ask your daughter again? She's also a lawyer, so she can help you make up a better story! "
Lu Jin also turned his head to look over and found Gu Nianzhi nestled in Huo Shaoheng's arms. She was staring at him in a daze. Her dark, jade-like eyes were already filled with tears.
Lu Jin only took a glance before looking away. He said stiffly, "I'm the murderer anyway. The police need details, but He Chengjian doesn't. As soon as I show up, he'll definitely shoot me. Don't cause trouble for him. He didn't do anything wrong. "
Gu Nianzhi tried her best to hold it in, but she still choked.
She quickly buried herself in Huo Shaoheng's arms, and her tears quickly wet the front of Huo Shaoheng's shirt.
He took out a tissue to wipe Gu Nianzhi's tears and said dryly, "We'll discuss this when we get back. Don't make things difficult for Nianzhi."
Only then did Lu Yuan and Lu Jin realize that Gu Nianzhi's entire face was buried in Huo Shaoheng's arms. From their angle, they could only see her shoulders shaking slightly. There should be a small whimper, but it was covered by the sound of the plane, so they couldn't hear it at all.
Lu Jin's heart ached for his daughter, so his anger softened.
He opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Nianzhi, don't cry. Dad … Dad will explain to you when we get back."
Gu Nianzhi didn't turn around but nodded.
Lu Jin and Lu Yuan both saw the back of her head move twice.
"…"
It would have been fine if she just stayed in his arms, but her head was still moving around. Did she really think that he was a pillow that didn't feel anything?
Huo Shaoheng crossed his legs without batting an eyelid and pulled up the blanket next to the chair to cover himself and Gu Nianzhi.
No one spoke again along the way.
Lu Yuan turned on the TV in front of him and began to watch the news alone.
Huo Shaoheng silently thought of a plan of action.
Lu Jin took out his iPad and began to program to decompress.
Gu Nianzhi buried herself in Huo Shaoheng's arms and smelled the scent on his body that was very reassuring and pleasant to her. Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
Huo Shaoheng simply carried her horizontally like he was carrying a child. He let her head rest on his shoulder, and her body lay on his arm as she sat on his lap.
A soft and wide blanket wrapped around both of them.
She was in his arms, and only her head was sticking out of the blanket.
Her breathing was even and steady. She weakly swept her gaze over Huo Shaoheng's side face and chin. It was a little hot and a little itchy.
Huo Shaoheng's chin touched her warm and delicate forehead. It was as if he wasn't in the sky, but in a warm and fragrant boudoir.
The two of them acted as if no one else was around, and their attitude greatly eased the tension between Lu Yuan and Lu Jin.
When the plane arrived at the Huaxia Empire, Gu Nianzhi woke up in a daze. She had almost forgotten about the intense argument ten hours ago.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Shaoheng's beautiful and handsome profile. She narrowed her eyes and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in front of her.
Huo Shaoheng looked down at her. "You're awake? You can really sleep. We're already here. "
As they spoke, the plane had already come to a steady stop at the airport.
Gu Nianzhi stretched and poked her head out from Huo Shaoheng's side. She looked at the familiar airport outside the window and smiled. "That's great, we're finally back!"
She turned her head and saw Lu Jin's uncomfortable expression. The scene from ten hours ago suddenly came back to her mind.
Gu Nianzhi had slept for a while, and her mental and physical strength had recovered to their peak. Even her mood was at its best.
She smiled at Lu Jin and said gently, "Dad, don't worry. We won't help you clear your 'reputation', okay?"
Lu Yuan's hawk-like gaze suddenly looked over.
Gu Nianzhi pretended not to see him. She lifted the blanket and sat up. She pulled Lu Jin's arm and continued, "Dad, don't worry. I won't say a word about you. I can still deal with Qin Yaoguang and Qin Baye, those two animals!"
Lu Yuan opened his mouth, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Huo Shaoheng shaking his head slightly at him. He had no choice but to shut his mouth.
However, his jaw was very square, and it was obvious that he was clenching his molars.
Although Lu Jin still didn't say anything, the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably.
Gu Nianzhi continued to encourage him. She stood up with Lu Jin's arm and walked towards the cabin door. She said, "Actually, your case is already an old story. It doesn't matter if you mention it or not. If you don't want to mention it, we won't. As long as you don't mind, it doesn't matter to me either. I just feel sorry for you. You're a great scientist, but now you've been forced to hide your identity … "
Gu Nianzhi and Lu Yuan actually had the same thoughts, but Lu Yuan didn't smooth things over. Lu Jin had always liked to disagree with him, so he immediately exploded.
Moreover, Lu Jin knew that he didn't have a clear conscience in this matter, so he didn't appeal, nor did he actively take action to clear his "grievances".
He patted the back of Gu Nianzhi's hand and said in a low voice, "Nianzhi, Dad has indeed let Lawyer Qin Suwen down. Dad is indeed at fault. Dad is not as innocent as you think …"
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself that was for sure.
Otherwise, how would she have been born?
Based on what she knew, Qin Suwen should know nothing about her birth.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to her engagement to He Zhichu..
Gu Nianzhi's head hurt again at the thought of this.
How could she have forgotten?
He Zhichu, the great buddha, was still waiting for them in the imperial capital..
When she, Huo Shaoheng, and Lu Yuan had gone abroad, they had been busy chasing after Lu Jin to prevent him from doing something stupid.
Therefore, they had only thrown the results of their investigation to He Zhichu, as well as the photo of Qin Suwen before she was disfigured in the car accident..
Gu Nianzhi couldn't imagine how much of an impact this had on He Zhichu.
How awkward it would be when the two of them met again.
"… It's all that b * tch Qin Yaoguang's fault!" Gu Nianzhi cursed hatefully. "If it weren't for her, I believe things wouldn't have been so bad!"
Lu Jin pursed his lips tightly and looked away in embarrassment.
..
The four of them got off the plane and quickly passed through customs.
However, when they exited customs, they immediately saw He Zhichu in the crowd waiting to pick them up.
Because his tall and elegant figure was too conspicuous.
He was wearing a straight, dark olive green summer uniform. He didn't wear a military cap on his head, revealing his unusually handsome face. His aura was even colder and more desolate than before.
His eyes, which were shaped like peach blossom petals, were no longer full of emotion. It was as if a layer of ice had condensed, and all the fire and heat were frozen at the bottom of the water.
He stood there alone with his hands behind his back, surrounded by four tall and strong guards.
The four of them stood around him with a murderous aura, causing no one else to be within a three-meter radius of He Zhichu.
It was impossible for Gu Nianzhi and the others to pretend not to see such an obvious sign.
He Zhichu saw the four of them coming out of customs and immediately walked up to them.
"You're back? Come with me. "
His expression was cold. Even when he looked at Gu Nianzhi, there was no warmth in his eyes.
Huo Shaoheng, Lu Yuan, and Lu Jin stopped in their tracks and didn't say anything.
Gu Nianzhi frowned in surprise.
How did He Zhichu know that they were back? He was even waiting at the airport early..
What did he mean by looking like he was going to arrest someone?
She cursed in her heart as she took a step forward to stand in front of He Zhichu. Although she was mentally prepared, she still blushed a little.
She pursed her lips and smiled. "Young Master He, what's the matter? We just returned to the country, and we're still jet-lagged. Can you let us go back to take a shower and have a meal first? I slept for ten hours on the plane and didn't eat anything. I'm starving now. "
He Zhichu glanced at her indifferently. He looked straight ahead and said coldly, "No need. I won't starve you there."
He didn't want to talk anymore, so he turned around and said, "… Take her away."
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng looked at each other, then turned to look at Lu Yuan and Lu Jin.
However, this was the international airport of the Huaxia Empire's imperial capital. They couldn't "do whatever they wanted" like they did in foreign airports.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want He Zhichu and He Chengjian to notice her close relationship with Lu Jin. Her mind raced, and she quickly made up her mind.
She jogged to catch up with He Zhichu, then turned around and walked backward. She smiled and said, "Young Master He, if there's anything, you can ask me first, okay? I can go with you, but can Mr. Peter and the others go back first? "
He Zhichu stopped in his tracks and looked down at Gu Nianzhi's rare expression of trying to please him. His fists unconsciously clenched.
Feeling the sting of his fingernails, he quickly let go and put them behind his back. His gaze shifted to the door in front of him, and he said calmly, "That's fine too. Come with me first."
Gu Nianzhi quickly waved at Huo Shaoheng, then pointed in the direction of the door, then at herself and He Zhichu. She then waved her hand for them to go to the parking lot.
Huo Shaoheng understood what she meant. Although he was very reluctant, this was He Zhichu's territory, He Zhichu's home ground. He still had Lu Jin, a bomb that could "explode" at any time, so he had to weigh the pros and cons.
Nodding slowly at her, Huo Shaoheng gave Lu Yuan a look. The two of them sandwiched Lu Jin in the middle and walked towards the exit on the other side of the airport.
Lu Jin was worried about Gu Nianzhi, so he struggled and refused to leave. Lu Yuan said in a low voice, "Nianzhi has her own plans. Don't hold her back."
Lu Jin rolled his eyes in anger and said angrily, "I'm holding her back?! Have you asked your conscience when you say that?! "
Lu Yuan chuckled. "I left my conscience on the other side and didn't bring it with me."
Lu Jin: "…"
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
..
Gu Nianzhi got into He Zhichu's car and realized that his guards didn't get in. Instead, He Zhichu sat in the driver's seat.
Gu Nianzhi looked around and asked curiously, "Young Master He, are you driving yourself?"
He Zhichu started the car and ignored her. He stepped on the accelerator, and the car accelerated very quickly. It shot out like an arrow leaving the bow.
The traffic on the highway was vast and orderly.
He Zhichu drove like a madman. He weaved through the gaps in the traffic and kept overtaking, overtaking, and overtaking.
The cars around him were originally very angry, but when they saw his license plate, they all calmed down. Some even hurriedly made way for him.
Gu Nianzhi gripped the handle above her head tightly and said in fear, "Young Master He, drive slowly! You're already speeding! "
Where was the police car? Why didn't he catch the speeding police car?
She had forgotten that with He Zhichu's license plate, which police officer would dare to catch him speeding?
This was a license plate with the right of way, just like ambulances, police cars, and fire engines.
The road in front of her almost became a straight line that slid by quickly.
In the end, Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to close her eyes and beg, "Young Master He, drive slowly. I'm dizzy …"
He Zhichu's answer was to step on the accelerator again.
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She felt like she was riding a roller coaster as He Zhichu brought her back to the He family's mansion on the Second Ring Road.
The car door opened, but Gu Nianzhi didn't come out for a long time.
It wasn't that she didn't want to come out, but that she couldn't get up.
Her legs were weak, and she had no strength left.
She had just taken a 12-hour long-distance flight, but before she could recover, she was forced to take a two-hour "roller coaster".
When Gu Nianzhi saw He Zhichu, she still had some admiration and closeness to him, but now it had all been destroyed by his actions.
At that moment, she deeply suspected that He Zhichu was really her half-brother.
She wanted to do a DNA test!
He Zhichu pulled the car door and looked down at her for a long time before saying hoarsely, "… Why aren't you coming out yet? Are you going to sit in the car for the rest of your life? "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She rolled her eyes rudely and said snappily, "I want to, but my legs are weak. What if I can't get up?"
He Zhichu knocked on the car door and bent over to pull Gu Nianzhi out of the car by her arm.
Gu Nianzhi's legs were really weak. She was pulled by him and almost fell into his arms.
She quickly reached out to push He Zhichu's chest away to stabilize herself.
However, He Zhichu's hands were wrapped around her arm as if he was hugging her.
At that moment, another car drove over and screeched to a stop behind them.
Xie Qingying, who was wearing a simple white Issey Miyake suit, got out of the car and looked up to see this scene. She couldn't help but stop.
"… Did I come at the wrong time?" Xie Qingying stood there, hesitating to move forward.
He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi turned their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of the voice. They said in unison, "… No."
