In the spacious parking lot behind the Office of the Prime Minister, Huo Shaoheng stood alone in front of his silver-gray Bentley SUV, waiting for Gu Nianzhi.
He crossed his arms and leaned against the door of the front passenger seat. He leaned forward slightly and hung his head. One of his long legs was stretched out on the ground, and the other was half-bent backward against the wheel.
Under the clear, glassy moonlight, he looked like a painting standing there.
At that moment, Gu Nianzhi forgave herself for being young and arrogant.
This man was so beautiful, how could she not flirt with him?
Huo Shaoheng looked up to see Gu Nianzhi, and his expression froze.
She wasn't the only one who came. He Zhichu came with her.
His deep eyes narrowed slightly, but he had already returned to normal when He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi walked up to him.
"You're here." Huo Shaoheng straightened and said to Gu Nianzhi nonchalantly, "It's only a short distance, and you still need Professor He to drive you?"
Gu Nianzhi was a bit embarrassed.
He Zhichu wasn't here to drive her …
But before she could speak, He Zhichu said, "My car had an accident today. Huo Shao also saw it. It's late now, and it's not convenient to call a taxi to the Office of the Prime Minister. Huo Shao, please take us back. It's on the way. "
Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi and knew from her expression that she hadn't told He Zhichu where she was going.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly had an idea and quickly said, "Yes, yes, it's on the way. Huo Shao, please take us back to school together!"
That way, she wouldn't have to go to her newly bought second-hand house alone with Huo Shaoheng.
What a great wit!
Gu Nianzhi wanted to give herself a thumbs up again.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her coolly and opened the car door. "Get in."
Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu and asked hesitantly, "How about Professor He sit in front?"
He Zhichu shook his head, his cold voice exceptionally lonely in the late autumn night of the imperial capital. "No, I'm not used to sitting in a row with strangers."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Huo Shaoheng didn't even look at He Zhichu. He knocked on the car door and said unhappily to Gu Nianzhi, "Hurry up, your school closes at 11 o 'clock."
At that time, it would be more troublesome to get in and out, as they would need to stop and show their identification.
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed. She thought she could really go back to school and not have to face Huo Shaoheng alone. She immediately slipped into the car and sat in the passenger seat. He Zhichu sat in the back.
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's lips curled up imperceptibly. He walked around to the driver's seat, closed the door, fastened his seatbelt, and stepped on the accelerator to start the car. The silver-gray Bentley quickly drove out of the parking lot of the Prime Minister's official residence.
At first, no one in the car spoke.
Huo Shaoheng had always been a man of few words.
He Zhichu wasn't a talkative person.
Although Gu Nianzhi was talkative, she was a little tired today and didn't want to talk. Therefore, she propped her head up with her hand and stared out the window at the night view.
The street lights near the Prime Minister's residence were very bright, and the security was very cautious and complete.
She drove out of Willow Lane 32 and turned onto the highway. Gu Nianzhi saw two familiar people pass by on the side of the road.
It was Ye Xuan and Gu Yanran.
Their cars were parked on the side of the road, and they seemed to be quarreling.
Huo Shaoheng drove too fast, so Gu Nianzhi couldn't hear what they were arguing about even when she rolled down the window.
Soon, their car drove past and got on the highway.
"Close the window," Huo Shaoheng said dryly as he looked straight ahead.
Gu Nianzhi pressed the button on the door, and the window quickly rolled up.
The noise and clamor on the highway were immediately isolated, and the car was eerily quiet. Even the breathing of the three people could be heard clearly.
Gu Nianzhi felt very uncomfortable and began to find something to say.
"Professor He, what happened to your car?" Gu Nianzhi turned to look at He Zhichu, who was sitting in the back seat.
Huo Shaoheng said, "Professor He's car suddenly spontaneously combusted and was burned to ashes from the inside out."
He turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. "… It's almost the same as the car you were in when you were 12 years old. It was completely burned."
Gu Nianzhi frowned. "But I didn't hear an explosion."
If the situation was exactly the same as when she was 12 years old, there would have been an earth-shattering explosion and a mushroom cloud rising into the air …
Huo Shaoheng grunted. "Yes, that's the only difference. Professor He's car didn't explode, but it was still completely burned, just like your car. That's why it's even more suspicious. "
Gu Nianzhi's car had been completely burned to ashes because of the high temperature caused by the explosion, which was still scientifically supported.
However, He Zhichu's car had suddenly spontaneously combusted to ashes in a matter of seconds without even exploding. To a certain extent, it was more difficult and therefore more terrifying.
As soon as Huo Shaoheng received the news, he went to the scene to investigate. When he discovered that the situation was more serious than he had expected, he immediately mobilized the Special Operations Forces' technical personnel to seal off the scene. He planned to send everything at the scene, including the soil and ashes, to the Special Operations Forces' laboratory.
From what they knew about the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion, there was nothing with a high ignition point that could burn the materials used to make advanced cars to ashes in a matter of seconds.
Moreover, it had been burned very "cleanly." There was no stench emitted by burning plastic or chemical materials. Similarly, there was no industrial pollution.
What did this mean?
This meant that the car had reached an extremely high temperature in an instant, then quickly and fully combusted everything into carbon dioxide, so there was no discomfort.
It was only the phenomenon of a car's spontaneous combustion, but Huo Shaoheng's analysis already covered the most sophisticated knowledge and theories in the fields of environmental protection, chemical engineering, materials, high energy physics, and weaponry.
Gu Nianzhi listened in awe and couldn't help asking He Zhichu, "Professor He, what's so special about your car?"
He Zhichu crossed his arms and tilted his head to look out of the car. When he heard Gu Nianzhi's question, he turned around and shrugged. "No." He paused, then said lazily, "Even if there was, I wouldn't know. I'm just a law professor. "
Huo Shaoheng chuckled but didn't expose He Zhichu.
With He Zhichu's abilities, he was only a "law professor." He Zhichu had underestimated him …
If Huo Shaoheng's guess was correct, He Zhichu's car had been modified. That was why it could accelerate at high speed and produce a sonic boom. Knowing that He Zhichu had discovered it, He Zhichu had resolutely cut off his arm to survive and destroyed the entire car.
So what was the point of suspecting him?
He wouldn't give him any evidence at all.
But it didn't matter. Huo Shaoheng was the most patient when it came to waiting.
The three of them didn't speak again and drove back to B University in silence.
It was only 10: 55, so it wasn't time to close yet.
Huo Shaoheng drove He Zhichu directly to the professor's building.
He Zhichu frowned and said, "You should take Nianzhi back to her dorm first."
Huo Shaoheng didn't even turn around. With one hand on the steering wheel, he said calmly, "We have to respect our teachers."
He Zhichu was speechless.
He unbuckled his seatbelt with a dark expression and opened the door. He then kicked it shut.
Huo Shaoheng rolled down the window and waved at him from inside. Then he stepped on the gas and sped away like an arrow.
Gu Nianzhi was just about to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car, but she didn't expect Huo Shaoheng to quickly drive away.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the road ahead. After a while, she said with surprise, "This isn't the direction to my dorm."
"Yeah, this is the direction to our new house."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
"You promised to take me back to my dorm!" Gu Nianzhi was angry. "How can you go back on your word?!"
"When did I promise?" Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and put an arm around her clenched fist. He gripped it tightly with a smile in his eyes. "I said I would take Professor He back to school first."
He was too cunning!
Gu Nianzhi once again felt that Huo Shaoheng was different from before. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. She turned her head away and said unhappily, "You never lied to me before!"
"You never ignored me before." Huo Shaoheng patted her hand. His deep and dark eyes lingered on her pouting lips for a moment. His voice instantly deepened. "Be a good girl and sit tight. We'll be there soon."
Gu Nianzhi's second-hand house wasn't far from school.
After Huo Shaoheng drove out of B University, he arrived at the underground parking lot of Hepingli Building A in ten minutes.
Gu Nianzhi saw her flashy bright red Ferrari already parked in a separate compartment in the parking lot.
"Get out." Huo Shaoheng parked the car and walked over to Gu Nianzhi to open the door for her.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the car without moving. She said coldly, "I want to go back to school."
"Get out." Huo Shaoheng said again. He seemed to be a little impatient.
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself, "It's good that he's impatient. It's best if he gets annoyed with me. Then we'll drift apart in the future."
She still sat in the car without moving.
Huo Shaoheng saw that she still didn't move and nodded. "You like being in the car? Ok … "
He walked back to the driver's side and opened the door to get in. He started the car and reversed it out of the parking lot. Then he drove to a blind spot of the surveillance cameras and stopped.
Huo Shaoheng pressed the button again. The entire car's tint gradually darkened. Most of the lights in the parking lot were blocked. Only blurry shadows could be seen.
Gu Nianzhi originally thought that Huo Shaoheng had given in and was driving her back to school.
She didn't expect him to stop here.
She was still thinking too much …
How could Huo Shaoheng give in?
Gu Nianzhi looked around and became vigilant. "What are you doing?"
Huo Shaoheng's face was tense. He unbuckled his seat belt and leaned over to her. He nimbly held her shoulder with one hand and tucked the other into the black hair at the back of her head. He lowered his head and kissed her lips without hesitation.
He didn't know how long it had been since he last kissed her. As soon as he touched her soft lips, Huo Shaoheng felt his brain explode. His rationality and restraint all collapsed.
At first, he only wanted to do it lightly and scare her.
But she tasted sweeter than he remembered.
His lips pressed against hers and couldn't be separated anymore. He was so forceful that it was no longer a kiss, but a sucking. It made her lips burn and hurt …
