Huo Shaoheng froze and paced around the entrance of the lab. His brows furrowed. After a while, he looked up at Chen Lie. "Are you sure?"
"One hundred percent sure," Chen Lie said seriously. "You can take it to another lab for cross-validation, and you'll know if I'm wrong."
"I'll definitely have to do the cross-validation." Huo Shaoheng nodded. He couldn't tell what he was feeling. Was it relief, or was it more worrying?
"Ok, there are still some unused samples. Do you want to take them back, Huo Shaoheng?" Chen Lie said as he returned to the lab to take out the experiment report and the remaining samples.
Huo Shaoheng gave Yin Shixiong a look. "Big Xiong, take it back and get the military lab to test it. Also, find a civilian lab outside and verify it anonymously. "
Yin Shixiong took the experiment report and samples. "Yes, Chief."
"Then we'll go." Huo Shaoheng nodded to Chen Lie and left the lab building to return to his office.
…
"Huo Shaoheng, how can it be such a coincidence?"
In Huo Shaoheng's office, Zhao Liangze sat across from his desk with a thin laptop in front of him.
His fingers flew as he ran his program on the computer to search for information about Gu Yanran online.
Like Gu Xiangwen, Gu Yanran was a millionaire in Barbados and had very little information about her online.
"Little Ze, send a message to our colleagues in South America and ask them to investigate Gu Yanran's family background, especially her father, mother, relatives, and friends. Their resumes over the past few years must be investigated in detail." Huo Shaoheng thought about it as he gave the order.
"Yes, Chief!" Zhao Liangze took the laptop and left Huo Shaoheng's office to do his own work.
Huo Shaoheng took out a pack of cigarettes from his desk drawer and lit one in his hand. He opened the office door and went to the balcony to smoke.
He had been very busy recently, but it was relatively easy. He didn't want to smoke when there was no pressure.
But today's situation made him want to smoke again.
White smoke rose in front of his eyes, and his mood gradually calmed down.
This matter circled in his mind, but he couldn't grasp the key point.
Gu Yanran had a younger sister named Gu Nianzhi, and they were about the same age. If it was a coincidence, then it was too much of a coincidence.
Also, did Gu Yanran have anything to do with Xie Qingying?
Huo Shaoheng instinctively felt that things weren't that simple.
But he had to believe the DNA results. What was going on?
…
On the morning of the first Monday after Valentine's Day, Gu Nianzhi carried her backpack and the latest thin laptop bag as she rode her bicycle to He Zhichu's suite for class.
Along the way, she was constantly being stared at by her classmates. Occasionally, there were a few boys riding fast on their bicycles, passing by her like the wind, and then turning back to whistle at her.
A bold boy with colorful hair even asked her, "Beauty, where's your Ferrari? Why didn't he come to class? Let us broaden our horizons! "
He didn't sound malicious, so Gu Nianzhi wasn't angry. She smiled and replied, "There's no parking space on campus, so I had no choice but to park it at home."
"Oh, then I'll have the chance to admire the beautiful Ferrari in the future!" The boy laughed and whistled, then rode past Gu Nianzhi and went to his own school building for class.
Gu Nianzhi rode her bicycle leisurely and arrived at He Zhichu's building on the dot.
When she walked out of the elevator and rang the doorbell, it was exactly nine o 'clock. It was time for their group discussion class.
Among He Zhichu's students, Gu Nianzhi was the only one with a master's degree. The other four were all doctoral students, so He Zhichu allowed Gu Nianzhi to attend class with his doctoral students.
Everyone was going to be in the form of a discussion class anyway, so He Zhichu could focus on answering any questions.
The door opened from the inside, and Duan Chun poked his head out. When he saw it was Gu Nianzhi, he immediately shouted, "Our Ferrari heroine is here!" With a wave of his hand, he bent his back and made a 90-degree bow. "Please come in, my queen."
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "Brother Duan is too polite. Are you making fun of me?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare to make fun of you. Am I tired of living?" Duan Chun joked as he closed the door to let Gu Nianzhi in.
When Gu Nianzhi walked in, everyone was already seated on the sofa in the middle of the room. He Zhichu was still sitting alone on the large single-seater sofa. His expression was cold, and his eyes were cold. When he saw her enter, he only nodded and pointed to the seat next to him. "Sit."
Gu Nianzhi came in and took a good look at the seating arrangement in the room.
Gui Suyao sat on the first seat to He Zhichu's right, and Brother Chen sat next to her.
Brother Huang sat across from them, and the seat next to Brother Huang was probably Brother Duan Chun, who had opened the door for her.
She didn't want to sit with Duan Chun or Gui Suyao, so she could only sit on the seat to Brother Huang's right, which was the seat He Zhichu had asked her to sit on. It was the first seat on his left.
Gu Nianzhi walked over and sat down. She gracefully greeted everyone in the room. "Hello, Professor He, and hello, Brothers and Sisters. Why are you here so early? Didn't you say it would start at 9? "
She looked at her watch. It was only 5 minutes past 9. This was because she had been delayed when she came in earlier.
Brother Huang quickly explained to her, "Nianzhi, we have a habit. We have a class at 9 o 'clock and usually arrive at 8: 30. That way, we can chat first, exchange feelings, or talk about legal cases that aren't in the textbooks."
Gu Nianzhi's mouth fell open. "Oh." She turned to look at He Zhichu. "Professor He, I didn't know there was such a rule. I'll be there half an hour earlier next time."
He Zhichu looked at Brother Huang unhappily. "Little Huang, didn't you tell Classmate Gu about this beforehand?"
Brother Huang looked at Gui Suyao awkwardly.
He had wanted to tell Gu Nianzhi about the class, but he happened to be busy that day. Gui Suyao volunteered to tell Gu Nianzhi, so Brother Huang asked her for help. He didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to be completely unaware.
So Gui Suyao didn't pass the message?
Gui Suyao saw Brother Huang look at her and quickly explained, "I went to Gu Nianzhi's dorm to look for her that night, but she was taken away in a super luxurious Ferrari. I heard it was for Valentine's Day. I didn't want to call her at night and interrupt her Valentine's Day date …"
Gu Nianzhi coughed awkwardly. "Valentine's Day was the day before yesterday. I went back to school yesterday. Actually, Sister Gui could have just texted me. You didn't have to specifically talk to me."
Gui Suyao laughed heartily. "That's not good, is it? How can a text message be so clear? Of course I had to tell you in person about Brother Huang's request. "
Gu Nianzhi laughed. "Sister Gui, is there anything that can't be explained in a text? If it doesn't work, send two or three. If it doesn't work, call. What's the big deal? Do you have to tell me in person? " Pausing for a moment, she continued, "Senior Sister Gui has already memorized my cell phone number. Why didn't you remember to give me a call to remind me?"
Gui Suyao could hear the displeasure in Gu Nianzhi's voice. She smiled. "Fine, fine. I'll take it as my fault. I'll definitely call you in the future. Nianzhi, please don't be angry. You'll get wrinkles and look ugly."
She was trying to trick Gu Nianzhi like she was an ignorant girl.
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's eyes twitched. She wanted to retort, but saw the three men in the room watching the two women bicker with amusement. They looked like they were watching a good show. She could only swallow her anger and say to Gui Suyao, "Actually, Sister Gui has to study for her PhD and also be the counselor for our first year's master's students. She's really busy."
She turned to look at Brother Huang. "Brother Huang, if you can't find me in the future, you can just text me or call me. You don't have to trouble anyone."
Brother Huang felt even more awkward. He quickly tried to smooth things over. "Fine, fine. It's a small matter. Professor He, right?"
He turned to look at He Zhichu.
He Zhichu replied coldly, "Being half an hour late is a small matter? I'll note it down and deduct five points for being late. You'll lose 15 points if you're late three times in a semester. "
Gu Nianzhi panicked.
B University's credits were still on a 100 basis. However, homework accounted for 30%, midterms 30%, and final exams 40%.
One sentence from He Zhichu had deducted five points from her usual 30 points for homework. If this continued, she might even break her straight A record in her student career.
"Professor He, this isn't my fault. How can you deduct points from me?" Gu Nianzhi was unwilling to let the matter rest.
Gui Suyao smiled. "Fine, fine. Professor He was just joking with you. Isn't that right, Professor He?"
He Zhichu replied coldly, "I never joke in class."
