Huo Shaoheng resolutely got up and walked into the bathroom to wash up.
The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom. Gu Nianzhi was still twitching on the bed like she was having a pendulum.
She was really exhausted this time.
Huo Shaoheng acted like he hadn't seen a woman in 800 years. He tossed and turned her over and over and had sex with her several times.
She couldn't even lift a finger, but Huo Shaoheng could still get up and go to the bathroom to shower as if nothing had happened.
She wanted to shower too, but she didn't think Huo Shaoheng would be that considerate …
Also, she didn't want to go to the bathroom now. What if Huo Shaoheng saw her and asked her to "save water" again?
Gu Nianzhi could only let herself be paralyzed on the bed and not move. Not long after, her eyelids started to fight and she couldn't keep them open.
At that moment, she heard Zhao Liangze's voice from the intercom. "Huo Shao, Big Xiong found some clues. Do you want to take his call?"
Gu Nianzhi bit her lip and slowly slid into the blankets. Like an ostrich, she hid her head.
Huo Shaoheng had these intercoms everywhere in his room. Not only were there in the living room, but there were also in the study, bedroom, and bathroom. It was so that he wouldn't miss any critical information.
Huo Shaoheng was showering in the bathroom, but the sound of running water couldn't drown out the sound of the intercom.
He turned off the water and said into the intercom, "I'll come to the office building right away."
Coming out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, Huo Shaoheng changed into his military uniform and said to Gu Nianzhi on the bed without looking back, "Go back to your room. I'm going to the office building." With that, he strode out of his bedroom. He looked like something big had happened, but only he knew. He was afraid that if he turned back, he wouldn't be able to leave again …
Gu Nianzhi poked her head out from under the covers and watched Huo Shaoheng's back disappear through the door. She felt a bit awkward.
The two of them had just been so intimate, but Huo Shaoheng had turned around and left without coaxing her or being affectionate with her for a while.
Gu Nianzhi had also heard what Zhao Liangze said through the intercom. It wasn't a particularly urgent official matter.
Why couldn't Huo Shaoheng come over and hug her again?
Gu Nianzhi pouted and got out of bed unhappily. She picked up Huo Shaoheng's scattered clothes and put them on. Then she left Huo Shaoheng's suite without looking back.
After returning to her room, Gu Nianzhi packed her things. She didn't call Yin Shixiong or Zhao Liangze. She carried her backpack and suitcase as she left the Special Operations Forces headquarters base. She walked all the way to the intersection of the main road, hailed a taxi, and took it back to school.
Although it was only Saturday, she didn't want to stay at Huo Shaoheng's place.
When she returned to her dorm, she realized that Ma Qiqi wasn't in her room. She must have gone back for the weekend.
Gu Nianzhi went to the bathroom alone to take a shower. She wrapped her hair up and walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. She sat in front of her desk and began her skincare routine by fiddling with the bottles and jars on the bookshelf on the second floor. Finally, she put on a facial mask and took her iPad to the bed to sit down.
However, she couldn't bear to read the professional books on the iPad.
She mulled over her own emotions and felt that she shouldn't be doing this. But deep down, she also felt that she had the right to do this.
She knew it wasn't Huo Shaoheng's fault, but she didn't want to admit it.
She felt that her relationship with Huo Shaoheng had entered an indescribable bottleneck for the first time.
She used to think that as long as Huo Shaoheng was willing to be with her, she would do anything.
Later, when Huo Shaoheng got together with her, she realized that her demands had increased. She was no longer "willing to do anything."
Was this what human nature meant when given an inch, one would want a foot?
Or was this a necessary part of their relationship?
A one-sided relationship would never have a future.
But what defines the relationship between two sides?
Gu Nianzhi couldn't figure it out. She shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She forced herself to read the professional books and thought about Miao Yunxiao's case.
Before she left, she heard Zhao Liangze say that Yin Shixiong had found some clues at B University. Did that mean that they already had some leads and knew who pressured B University to delete the video records?
…
At the same time, Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze were in the central control room at the Special Operations Forces headquarters. They were video-calling Yin Shixiong while checking the records from the B University intranet.
"Huo Shao, I used my identity as a municipal police officer to ask the relevant personnel in the B University IT department about the cameras by the lake. Guess what? The person told me that a few of the cameras by the lake were broken due to lack of maintenance. They just discovered the problem and just replaced the cameras. "
Yin Shixiong smiled like a fox. "I asked if I could take a look at the broken cameras, and they actually told me that they'd already been destroyed …"
"Haha, that's a blatant lie!" Zhao Liangze couldn't stop laughing. "They even want to destroy physical evidence. Unfortunately, they don't know that the camera records are all uploaded to the cloud. There are a lot of procedures needed to destroy the records in the cloud, so there are traces everywhere."
Yin Shixiong was also grinning from ear to ear in the video. "I didn't expect there to be so much evidence. We were at a dead end before and only wanted to find direct evidence."
"Nianzhi is smart, and she's too good at exploiting loopholes in the law." Zhao Liangze smiled. It was hard to tell if he was complimenting or criticizing her.
Huo Shaoheng glared at him. "Nianzhi never exploits loopholes in the law."
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong both shut their mouths.
"It's because there are too many loopholes in the law. Nianzhi helps them fill in the gaps." Huo Shaoheng continued with a slight smile. He looked very proud of her.
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong closed their eyes.
Huo Shao's proud expression was too glaring. They needed to wash their eyes or they wouldn't be able to face Gu Nianzhi in the future.
Although they didn't approve of Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi being together, all the signs showed that a small fry couldn't shake a large tree. If these two decided to be together, small fry like them couldn't stop them even if they wanted to …
In terms of intelligence, both of them combined couldn't compare to Gu Nianzhi.
In terms of martial arts, both of them combined couldn't compare to Huo Shaoheng.
So what could they do?
Out of sight, out of mind.
Huo Shaoheng ignored their strange expressions and ordered Yin Shixiong through the video, "Pull up the phone records of the Prime Minister's official residence and the principal's office. Find out who called the relevant people at B University. I believe the person pressuring them must be someone from the Prime Minister's official residence. "
If Dou Aiyan really didn't have any contact with Miao Yunxiao, then why did Prime Minister Dou pressure B University to delete the video records and destroy the cameras?
Also, deleted cloud records could be recovered within a certain period of time using technology.
By Sunday morning, Yin Shixiong had made significant progress in his investigation. He didn't sleep all night in the telecommunications building at B University and found quite a few records. As he transferred and uploaded them, he also sealed them to prevent anyone from touching them.
When he came out of the telecommunications building, it was still early. He wanted to go to the B University cafeteria for breakfast before going back.
He didn't expect to see Gu Nianzhi carrying a food tray and walking with He Zhichu as soon as he stepped into the cafeteria.
They seemed to be talking. Gu Nianzhi tilted her head to look at He Zhichu with a happy smile.
He Zhichu's expression was still cold and aloof, but his gaze on Gu Nianzhi's face was unexpectedly gentle.
