When she returned to school today, Huo Shao didn't even show up and only asked Yin Shixiong to send her there.
Wasn't he busy?
Gu Nianzhi's heart ached after her initial shock. She looked up at Huo Shaoheng, feeling wronged, as he walked towards her.
Huo Shaoheng didn't look at her. He hadn't expected He Zhichu to appear already.
This person came back from abroad so quickly and just in time …
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank a little, but his face remained calm as he smiled and extended his hand to He Zhichu. "Professor He? How nice to meet you. "
He made it sound like they were meeting for the first time when they had already met several times before.
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't say anything. Her eyes wandered between Huo Shaoheng and He Zhichu, unsure of their intentions.
He Zhichu also laughed coldly on the inside, but didn't show it on his face. He didn't shake Huo Shaoheng's hand. Instead, he looked at Huo Shaoheng and asked coldly, "May I ask who you are?"
Weren't you pretending to be meeting for the first time? Then pretend to be thorough.
He couldn't call him "Major General Huo" in public like that idiot Xu Piaohong. That would be a trap.
Huo Shaoheng saw that He Zhichu understood and lowered his guard and hostility. He turned to Gu Nianzhi and said sternly, "Nianzhi, I just heard that you got into a fight with a classmate at school. What do I usually teach you?" He then looked at He Zhichu. "Professor He is Nianzhi's tutor. Are you also here to deal with this?"
He Zhichu's neck was a bit stiff, but he still nodded reluctantly. He snorted. "This is a bit complicated. Don't scold her so quickly. Also, who are you? Don't waste time. I need to take Nianzhi to a doctor to examine her injuries. "
"That's not a problem, Professor He." Huo Shaoheng wouldn't let He Zhichu take Nianzhi to a random doctor. He extended his hand. "Come, Nianzhi. Come back with me. Your Brother Chen has treated you since you were young. It's more reliable to find a doctor you know."
He Zhichu was shocked, but at the same time understood that they had probably found out about Nianzhi's special constitution in the past six years.
This wasn't good.
He Zhichu frowned slightly.
"Professor He, this is Huo Shao." She then said to Huo Shaoheng, "Huo Shao, Professor He is my instructor. The campus police informed him." She then pouted, "… I still have to do my self-reflection."
"You're still unwilling?" Huo Shaoheng's voice grew harsher. "How old are you? Can't you control your own emotions? Last time in the United States, you caused a huge ruckus. Professor He had to help you clean up the mess. This time, you have to trouble me again. Don't you feel embarrassed? "
Gu Nianzhi hadn't expected Huo Shaoheng to actually reprimand her. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced them back and didn't let them fall. They only swirled in her eyes, making them look even more watery.
She clenched her fists and wanted to explain herself, but seeing that more and more students were gathering around her, she could only hold it in. Without saying a word, she turned her head away and snorted loudly to express her dissatisfaction.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes darkened. He didn't ignore Gu Nianzhi's little tantrum. But no matter what, this was a good opportunity to educate Gu Nianzhi.
If she wanted to be with him, she couldn't be like Xu Piaohong, who couldn't control her emotions and wasn't able to control her emotions.
He Zhichu saw that more and more students were gathering around and knew it wasn't a good place to talk. He suggested, "If that's the case, let's go to my office first and explain what happened today. Mr. Huo, if you have a doctor you're familiar with, please ask him to come to my office to examine Nianzhi. "
Huo Shaoheng waved behind him.
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong hurried over. "Huo Shao?"
Huo Shaoheng pointed in the direction of Gu Nianzhi's dorm. He said to Yin Shixiong, "Big Xiong, go take a look and investigate what happened. Also, call Dr. Chen and ask him to go to Professor He's office. Do you have the address of Professor He's office? "
After getting Yin Shixiong's confirmation, Huo Shaoheng said to Zhao Liangze, "Little Ze, come with me and Nianzhi to Professor He's office." He bowed to He Zhichu. "Then I'll do as you say."
He Zhichu nodded and said to Gu Nianzhi without looking back, "Come with me."
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng. Seeing that he didn't object, she followed behind He Zhichu and walked out of the building.
Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze followed them unhurriedly to the 28th floor of He Zhichu's building.
As soon as Zhao Liangze entered, he secretly activated the Special Operations Forces' search equipment and roughly searched the living room to make sure there weren't any listening devices or infrared recording devices.
He gave Huo Shaoheng a discreet look to indicate that everything was normal.
Huo Shaoheng then walked in with peace of mind.
Gu Nianzhi's head was already drooping. She sat alone on the oval sofa in the middle of the living room of He Zhichu's suite.
He Zhichu had probably gone into his room and wasn't in the living room.
Huo Shaoheng walked over and sat beside her. He said in a low voice, "Can you tell me now? Why did you do it? No matter who did it first, it shouldn't have happened. "
Gu Nianzhi's tears flowed out of her eyes now that there were no outsiders. She wiped her face with the back of her hand and turned her head to avoid looking at Huo Shaoheng. She choked out, "She … she called me a bastard who was born without a father!"
Huo Shaoheng froze.
He hadn't expected Miao Yunxiao to say such a vicious word. The corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching. He had wanted to teach Gu Nianzhi a lesson, but couldn't say a single word.
He composed himself and wondered if he was being too harsh on Gu Nianzhi. She was still young and had grown up under his protection. She had only begun to come into contact with society in the past two years. Shouldn't she take things step by step?
Before Huo Shaoheng could think of a proper response, He Zhichu had appeared in the living room.
He had changed into casual home wear and looked as straight as ever as if he was attending a banquet. However, his expression was icy. He walked up to Gu Nianzhi and asked icily, "What did you say? Miao Yunxiao really called you that?! "
He didn't speak too quickly, but his tone was frighteningly cold.
Gu Nianzhi cringed and looked up at He Zhichu, then at Huo Shaoheng. Thinking that they didn't believe her, she wiped her face with the back of her hand and discovered that her tears were streaked all over her face. She didn't care about her image anymore and said loudly, "That's exactly what she said! If she didn't say it so viciously, why would I hit you?! "
He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng didn't speak. Their gazes fell on Gu Nianzhi and were equally intimidating.
Gu Nianzhi raised her head stubbornly and refused to admit defeat, "Yes! I hit you first! If she insults my parents like that again, I'll hit you too! "
Do you remember who your parents are?
He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng both thought the same thing but didn't say it out loud. It would be rubbing salt in Gu Nianzhi's wounds and she wouldn't be able to take it.
"If that's the case, then forget it for now." Huo Shaoheng was silent. He couldn't encourage Gu Nianzhi to hit her every time she saw her, nor could he say that she wouldn't hit back or scold back. Most importantly, Huo Shaoheng couldn't say many things in detail in front of He Zhichu.
He Zhichu wasn't willing to let it go. "How can you just let it go like this? She insulted me so viciously and even hit Nianzhi. Nianzhi wants to let it go, but I won't let it go. "
Gu Nianzhi was extremely touched by Huo Shaoheng's scolding. She wiped her tears again and said, "I didn't want to do anything to her, but if she insulted me like that and still wanted to let it go, then what's the point of living? Also, I believe there's a reason why she suddenly insulted me like that. "
"What reason?" Huo Shaoheng had already thought of Xu Piaohong's case. "Is it related to her cousin's case?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded and looked at Huo Shaoheng with an aggrieved expression. She whispered, "I'm not such a brainless person … She did this on purpose to provoke me into making a move, and then she'll sue me legally."
"So you made a big deal out of it and got into a fight with her?" Huo Shaoheng said slowly. "That way, she wouldn't sue you?"
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips, but before she could continue, He Zhichu had already sat down on her other side. He said quietly, "Nianzhi did the right thing and reacted quickly. If Nianzhi was the only one who hit her, it would be classified as a case of school bullying. As far as I know, the Huaxia Imperial Ministry of Justice is planning to arrest typical school bullies to build momentum for the new anti-bullying law. "
Gu Nianzhi was shocked. She didn't know this was going to happen.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes narrowed. He also asked, "There's such a thing?"
Then this was a chain reaction. The real target was not only Gu Nianzhi, but also Huo Shaoheng. They wanted to use Gu Nianzhi as a bargaining chip to force Huo Shaoheng to give in on Xu Piaohong's case.
If Gu Nianzhi was caught by the Ministry of Justice because of this incident, it would definitely cause a huge uproar throughout the country. She also had a military background, so it was exactly the kind of bullying that the people hated the most.
If the mastermind behind this had the intention, then it would go on the internet and turn black into white and white into black. Who knew how much trouble it would cause in the end?
And if this matter was really successfully manipulated, the person who would suffer the most wouldn't be Gu Nianzhi, but Huo Shaoheng.
It would be even more of a blow to him than Xu Piaohong's case.
"So, Huo Shao, you shouldn't lecture Nianzhi indiscriminately. She's not someone who doesn't know what's important."
He Zhichu's words struck a chord in Gu Nianzhi's heart, but she couldn't express her approval of He Zhichu in front of Huo Shaoheng. She could only look down and mumble, "I know Huo Shao is doing this for my own good, but I can be too hot-tempered sometimes. I should tolerate it. Maybe there's a better way …"
"Tolerate what? You didn't do anything wrong. " He Zhichu stood up unhappily and pointed to a small study next to the living room. "But you still have to write the self-reflection. Don't you want to go to that room first?"
