Gu Nianzhi looked at the letter of authorization and thought about it for a long time.
She paced around the room with her phone in hand before returning to the bed. Leaning against the pillow, she said to He Zhichu in a roundabout way, "Professor He, I don't need a legal representative at the moment. You know that I'm a law student. Although you're a lawyer and a law PhD, many people can't even dream of having you as their legal representative …"
"… But you don't want to?" He Zhichu cut her off, his expression growing paler. He looked out the window at the rolling traffic, then up at the clear blue sky. Pigeon whistles sounded in the air, and a flock of white pigeons fluttered into the sky. Everything was so perfect, except that she wasn't by his side.
Gu Nianzhi hesitated as she thought about how to convince He Zhichu. She didn't want to sign such an agreement, but she also didn't want to reject him so rudely like before.
Growing up was learning to hide one's emotions.
Gu Nianzhi felt like she was already an adult and couldn't act like a child and vent her emotions without restraint.
He Zhichu waited for a while and saw that Gu Nianzhi wasn't saying anything. He thought he understood what she meant.
He silently turned off his phone and ended the call.
He sat alone in the car, his expression as indifferent as a statue. Although he was extremely beautiful, he was lifeless.
He sat alone in the car for a very, very long time. Beside him were the rolling traffic on the highway, and he sat there alone, like a passerby in this boundless mortal world.
So much bustling and bustling passed him, but not an inch of it belonged to him. What once belonged to him couldn't be kept, no matter what he did …
Finally, he leaned against the steering wheel and buried his head in his arms, unmoving.
After an unknown amount of time, a police car stopped behind his car. A traffic policeman walked over and knocked on his window, "Sir, are you alright?"
He Zhichu was driving the extremely flashy Maserati. When the policeman saw the car, he knew the person inside was either rich or of high status, so he was very careful not to get into trouble.
He Zhichu slowly straightened up from the steering wheel and turned to look at the policeman. He shook his head indifferently, "I'm a bit tired, so I'm going to rest by the side of the road. I'm leaving now. "He started the car as he spoke.
The traffic policeman quickly said, "If you're tired, find a hotel to rest. Don't drive when you're tired."
He Zhichu's eyes were dark, and his face was frighteningly pale. His eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had stayed up all night and lacked sleep.
The traffic policeman was a little worried about his safety, so he drove the police car behind his car at a moderate pace. He followed him all the way to the south gate of B University before turning around and going back.
When He Zhichu returned to campus, the first thing he did was to post on the official website of the Faculty of Law that the recruitment test for teaching assistants would be delayed. He said that due to personal reasons, he had to go back to the United States and would be back in two weeks.
He Zhichu left as soon as he said he would. He only took his passport and wallet with him. He didn't bring anything else with him as he boarded the next direct flight to New York.
The news of him leaving the country quickly reached Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng didn't speak for a long time as he read Zhao Liangze's report.
Yin Shixiong crossed his legs and leaned against the back of the sofa. He laughed carelessly. "This Professor He is quite tactful. Not only did he approve Nianzhi's leave, but he also found an excuse to go back to the United States. That way, no one will notice Nianzhi's absence."
Zhao Liangze laughed and kicked Yin Shixiong. "… Not only is he tactful, he's also very considerate and considerate …"
"To be honest, Professor He treats Nianzhi only slightly less than Huo Shao treats Nianzhi. He treats her much better than everyone else!" Yin Shixiong chuckled, his eyebrows moving up and down.
"That makes sense. One is a professor, and the other is a guardian. They're both seniors, and they love their juniors the same." Zhao Liangze smiled sheepishly as he hid behind Yin Shixiong. He didn't want to meet Huo Shaoheng's gaze.
However, Huo Shaoheng ignored the two personal secretaries. He raised his hand to signal them to leave. He sat alone in his office, staring at the computer. It looked like he was working, but only he knew that he wasn't paying attention to anything on the computer.
His thoughts were completely occupied by He Zhichu's strange feelings for Gu Nianzhi.
Why did He Zhichu care so much about Gu Nianzhi?
Was his concern for Gu Nianzhi already detached from the concern a professor would have for his student?
When did this start?
Was it during the six months of her internship at the US Congress, or even earlier …
Huo Shaoheng was deep in thought. Something flashed through his mind, but when he wanted to grasp it, it disappeared without a trace.
He stood up and crossed his arms as he paced around the office. He thought about everything about He Zhichu, but he still couldn't figure out the relationship between them.
He called Zhao Liangze over the internal line.
"Huo Shao, what's up?"
"Little Ze, I asked you to investigate He Zhichu and Wen Shouyi again last time. Did you find anything?" Huo Shaoheng stood by the window and asked without turning his head.
Zhao Liangze nodded and placed a file in front of Huo Shaoheng. "I checked it again, and it's the same as before. But now that I'm looking at it from the beginning, some of the timing is quite interesting."
Huo Shaoheng opened the file and read it himself as he listened to Zhao Liangze's narration.
"This information shows that the He's are the richest family in South America. Their family assets span across several South American countries. He Zhichu and Wen Shouyi have citizenship in Argentina, Brazil, England, and the United States. He Zhichu himself has a great influence in the US political and military circles. "
Huo Shaoheng flicked the file thoughtfully. "… This last point wasn't in the previous information."
"… Yes, I added He Zhichu's influence in the US political and military circles." Zhao Liangze said seriously, "If it weren't for Nianzhi, we wouldn't have seen He Zhichu's ability in this area."
He was referring to the conflict between Gu Nianzhi and Xin Xinggao in the United States, and the accident in the Caribbean Sea.
He Zhichu was in a completely dominant position in these two incidents. He demonstrated his great power and helped Gu Nianzhi overcome the difficulties.
Huo Shaoheng looked down at the file and continued, "The He's had always kept a low profile in South America. But seven years ago, He Zhichu suddenly became a partner of the largest law firm in the United States. That was when the He's power finally surfaced."
"Yes, and then three years ago, He Zhichu entered Harvard Law School in the United States to teach. He started as an associate professor and became a tenured professor in just two years. At the same time, he had the qualifications to accept doctoral students. Last year, he accepted the offer from the B University Law School and came to B University as an adjunct professor. "
Zhao Liangze walked to Huo Shaoheng's desk and placed both hands on it. He leaned forward and lowered his voice. "Huo Shao, look at this. The year He Zhichu entered Harvard Law School in the United States was the year Nianzhi started her undergraduate law studies at C University."
Huo Shaoheng nodded slowly, his eyes dark and bottomless. He pointed at the time on the file and continued, "Also, look at this. Nianzhi graduated last year and He Zhichu suddenly decided to accept a master's student. The B University Law School is much better than C University, but he didn't accept at B University. Instead, he came to C University to interview Nianzhi."
"Yes!" Zhao Liangze clenched his fists. His eyes sparkled as he said excitedly, "That time, Nianzhi seemed to have fallen ill and missed the interview. I remember Big Xiong went to school to ask for a leave of absence for Nianzhi and said that He Zhichu's attitude was very bad. Big Xiong even grumbled for a long time and said what was so good about this kind of professor? It's better if Nianzhi doesn't get in … "
Huo Shaoheng looked down uncomfortably at the mention of Gu Nianzhi's "illness." He didn't meet Zhao Liangze's eyes. He covered his mouth with one hand and coughed softly. "Basically, we can conclude that He Zhichu did everything because of Nianzhi."
Zhao Liangze nodded fiercely. "That's right!"
He leaned forward even more excitedly. "Huo Shao, do you think He Zhichu knew Nianzhi in the past?!"
If that was the case, then Gu Nianzhi's background would soon be revealed.
The truth they had been pursuing for six or seven years was about to be revealed. Zhao Liangze couldn't contain his excitement.
Huo Shaoheng didn't speak for a long time. It was so long that Zhao Liangze thought Huo Shaoheng would reject his opinion. Huo Shaoheng finally said, "That's a possibility, but there's another possibility …"
"What possibility?"
"That he intentionally tried to get close to Gu Nianzhi. Actually, he's no different from the people in the CIA, Britain's MI5, and Israel's Mossad."
"Oh? You're saying that He Zhichu could be a special-agent for these countries?! "Zhao Liangze was shocked by the news and his whole body wilted like a frosted eggplant.
However, he had been following this matter for a long time. After being shocked by Huo Shaoheng, he quickly recovered and shook his head. "No, he can't be an intelligence agent for these countries. They can't afford to hire him. He's like the underground godfather of South America. Every presidential candidate there needs the approval of the He family before they can run. Therefore, the intelligence agencies of those countries should be used by He Zhichu, not the other way around. "
