So this was what Gu Nianzhi looked like when she dressed up maturely …
Her smoky eyeshadow made her big eyes even more mysterious and alluring. Her snow-white skin was so tender that water could almost be squeezed out of it. Her delicate and straight nose looked as if it had been drawn with a ruler, and her curvy lips, which had been smeared with pearlescent coral lipstick, were even more of a "fatal temptation".
The outfit she had chosen was a tight blue satin dress suit. It accentuated her curves and was almost like a second layer of skin.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes darkened. He pointed at Gu Nianzhi and said, "Go back and wash it off."
Gu Nianzhi's lips opened and closed. She wanted to say, "Didn't you tell me to dress more maturely?
However, when she saw Huo Shaoheng's dark, stormy eyes, as well as Chen Lie and Yin Shixiong watching from the sidelines, she pouted and swallowed her words. Glaring at Huo Shaoheng, she turned around and ran back.
Chen Lie was a little shocked, but when he saw Gu Nianzhi dare to glare at Huo Shaoheng, he was even more shocked. He slapped the table and laughed. "Oh my! Our Nianzhi isn't afraid of you anymore! Huo Shao, you're in danger. There's actually someone who isn't afraid of you! "
"Why should she be afraid of Huo Shao?" Ye Zitan looked at Huo Shaoheng's gloomy expression curiously, then at the cheerful Chen Lie. She moved closer to him and whispered, "I think Nianzhi's makeup is pretty good … Although it's quite mature, Nianzhi is still young. She's not even 20 yet …"
Chen Lie was even happier and couldn't stop smiling. He moved closer to Ye Zitan and whispered, "I think so too, it's so pretty! It's like someone's eyes have problems. I think he needs to see an ophthalmologist. "
Huo Shaoheng glared at Chen Lie and walked back to the chairman's seat at the long table in the conference room. He sat down and patted the documents on the table. "There's not much time left. We didn't ask you to come to Barbados for sightseeing. The country and the military are providing the money and manpower. We have to do our job well. "
The corners of Chen Lie's mouth twitched and he stopped joking. He nudged Ye Zitan and sat down with her to the right of Huo Shaoheng.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze sat across from Chen Lie and Ye Zitan.
"Three days later, I'll take Nianzhi and Chen Lie to the hospital to visit Gu Xiangwen. Big Xiong, you'll come with us and be in charge of the local security. Little Ze, you're still in charge of wireless communication. Doctor Ye, you'll be on standby at the consulate. The medical equipment that Chen Lie ordered will be delivered in a few days. You'll be in charge of receiving it, especially checking to see if there's anything wrong with it. "
Although they could return the goods if they didn't match, they were in urgent need of it now. They couldn't wait to return the goods, so they had to solve it as soon as possible.
"Yes, Chief."
Everyone nodded and accepted their mission.
Huo Shaoheng pushed a set of documents to Chen Lie and Ye Zitan. "Take a look. I still have something to tell Little Ze and Big Xiong."
What he was going to talk about next was probably related to the Special Operations Forces. Chen Lie and Ye Zitan didn't want to know too much, so they stood up together. "Then we'll go back first."
After Chen Lie and Ye Zitan left, Huo Shaoheng told Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze about Gu Yanran's request. "Her main goal is still to capture the person behind the gunmen. But we know nothing about the gunmen. How are we going to catch them? What do you think? "
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze looked at each other. After a while, Yin Shixiong pulled up the computer data on the gunmen incident at the airport and said to Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze, "Huo Shao, Little Ze, look at the gunmen. How many were there? How many died in the end? "
Zhao Liangze stared at Yin Shixiong's computer data for a minute and said, "… It should be eight? We killed seven on the spot, and the last one escaped with Gu Yanran and was later killed by Huo Shao in the sea? "
Huo Shaoheng shook his head and gently tapped a pen on the conference table. "I didn't kill him. Gu Yanran killed him herself."
"That powerful?!" Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong exclaimed at the same time. They hadn't heard Huo Shaoheng talk about the situation that day in detail. Now that he was taking the initiative to talk about it, they became interested and pestered him to elaborate on the details.
Their reason for doing so was that they could carefully find evidence of the mastermind.
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a while and was about to speak when he heard the door open again. Gu Nianzhi walked in with a plain face.
She had washed off the mature makeup on her face. Other than skincare products, she didn't use any other makeup.
Her close-fitting dress had been changed into elegant trousers. Her top was a rain-blue heavy silk lace-up shirt with drooping sleeves, and the ribbon in front of her chest was tied with a graceful bow. Her slim trousers were a mix of white linen and silk, and she wore a pair of white mid-heeled leather shoes. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and hung behind her head. She looked refreshing, without the seductive charm from before, only pure and beautiful feelings that could purify people's hearts.
Huo Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief and waved for her to come over. "Nianzhi, sit here." He pointed to a seat beside him.
This seat was also the chairman's seat, but it was beside Huo Shaoheng's seat. It wasn't at the corner of the table either. It was like sharing the chairman's seat with him.
Gu Nianzhi didn't refuse and walked over gracefully to sit beside him. However, her face was still plain, unlike before when she would smile even when she didn't speak.
Huo Shaoheng knew that she was uncomfortable, but he didn't have the habit of spoiling her in front of others.
The two of them could give in to her in private, but in public, he would not admit his mistake.
Today, he had taken the initiative to greet Gu Nianzhi and ask her to come over, which was already the biggest compromise he had made.
Gu Nianzhi was indeed in a bad mood, but after sitting down, she saw Huo Shaoheng constantly looking at her from the corner of his eye. Even when he was talking to Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze, he didn't forget to pay attention to her reaction. She finally felt better.
Under the conference table, she quietly reached out and pinched a piece of flesh on Huo Shaoheng's thigh.
Huo Shaoheng was talking to Yin Shixiong when his thigh instinctively tensed up.
Gu Nianzhi pinched too hard, and one of her fingernails broke with a crack.
She quickly retracted her hand and put it in her mouth to bite off the broken fingernail.
Huo Shaoheng noticed Gu Nianzhi's actions and didn't think much of it. He reached over and took her finger out of her mouth. He said in a low voice, "How old are you? Still biting your fingernails?"
Gu Nianzhi pouted and showed him the broken fingernail. "… It's broken."
As she spoke, she looked down and glanced at Huo Shaoheng's thigh.
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and took out his Swiss Army knife. There were nail clippers inside.
Holding Gu Nianzhi's delicate hand, he began to trim her nails. He said with a serious expression, "Don't let your nails grow long in the future. You have to cut them off immediately if they grow out a little."
"Oh." Gu Nianzhi's earlier gloominess was instantly soothed by Huo Shaoheng. She smiled seductively and looked around the conference room. When she met two pairs of eyes that were about to pop out of their eye sockets, she tilted her head up proudly and almost snorted. Her queen's aura was on full display.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze quickly looked away. One looked up at the ceiling, and the other turned to look at the corner of the room. They both pretended not to see Huo Shaoheng cutting Gu Nianzhi's nails.
Huo Shaoheng didn't care at all. After cutting her nails, he lectured Gu Nianzhi before turning to Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze. "That day on the rowboat, Gu Yanran stole the gunman's gun and killed him. I was still in the sea at the time, so I didn't go up. "
Gu Nianzhi was originally feeling very happy and was thinking about how to show off their love again. When she suddenly heard such gory content, she froze and asked, "What were you guys talking about just now?"
"We were talking about Gu Yanran being held hostage by the gunman." Huo Shaoheng's expression was normal as he turned to look at her. "Do you want to hear it?"
"Not only was Gu Yanran held hostage by the gunman, but Huo Shao also turned the tide and protected Miss Gu from the storm. He personally rescued her." Yin Shixiong finally didn't have to look at the ceiling anymore. He smiled and filled in all the details in his head.
"Yes, then the two of them went to an isolated island and stayed the night." Zhao Liangze's words were even more suggestive. He was purely teasing Gu Nianzhi and wanted to see a little girl get jealous. Of course, they also wanted to see how Huo Shaoheng would coax her …
Before today, they had always thought that Boss's hands could only be used as fists to make people dizzy or sniper rifles to kill people from a kilometer away.
They didn't think that he could also use nail clippers to cut people's nails …
Gu Nianzhi looked at Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze suspiciously. Resting her chin on her hands, she leaned against the conference table and raised her eyebrows. "What did you say? Were you there at the time? "
Yin Shixiong said, "… No."
Zhao Liangze said, "… Of course not."
"If you weren't there, then how can you make it sound like it's true? Don't forget, spreading rumors is legally responsible. Are you sure you want to continue spreading rumors? " Gu Nianzhi said coldly and bluntly. Her small face was tense, and she actually had a bit of an imposing aura.
Damn it!
They actually forgot about Gu Nianzhi's eloquence!
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong wanted to slap themselves!
"Nianzhi, don't be angry. Nianzhi, don't be angry. We were just joking." Yin Shixiong laughed and patted his mouth. "Actually, we don't know the truth at all. We're just listening to Huo Shao."
Huo Shaoheng looked at them and was very satisfied with Gu Nianzhi's reaction. He rested one arm on the back of the chair Gu Nianzhi was sitting on and wrote a few words with the pen in his other hand. "Okay, stop talking nonsense. I did save Gu Yanran and stayed with her on the Gu's island for a night. However, I waited for rescue on the beach the whole night and didn't stay in her house. Also, I want to take Nianzhi to see that island. "
"Does that island have WIFI?" Gu Nianzhi asked seriously.
"… No."
"What's there to go where there's no WIFI?" Gu Nianzhi waved her hand dismissively. "Let's focus on Gu Yanran's father."
"But that island is said to be where you lived when you were young. I even saw your room there." Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi looked at each other. There was a faint sense of pity and heartache in the depths of his eyes.
