As soon as Huo Shaoheng asked this, Gu Nianzhi immediately retorted, "No way! Let me go, I'm more than happy to do so! "
"Really?" Huo Shaoheng's face showed a faint smile, but it didn't reach his eyes. It only floated on his face like a perfect mask.
Most people wouldn't be able to find fault with it, but Gu Nianzhi found it a bit jarring.
She tilted her body sideways and slowly shifted her gaze away. Her delicate and plump lips pursed, revealing only a thin line. It was a stubborn expression, but when she pursed her lips tightly, two shallow dimples appeared on the corners of her lips. It was very amusing, and people couldn't help but want to kiss those dimples.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes gradually darkened. He slowly leaned over with great pressure, like a black panther staring at its prey, determined and calm.
Gu Nianzhi's heart pounded, but she still forced herself to stand. She refused to show weakness, and she wouldn't dodge.
She could feel Huo Shaoheng's aura invading her. He was also like an alpha wolf, with a natural determination and perseverance to defend his territory.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips even more, appearing even more stubborn.
But Huo Shaoheng only quickly kissed the little dimple on Gu Nianzhi's lips.
Like a white steed flying across a crevice, or a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, he left a shallow mark on her dimple.
Before Gu Nianzhi could react, Huo Shaoheng had already pulled away.
His lips were soft and warm, the complete opposite of his cold and hard personality.
Gu Nianzhi felt like she was electrocuted where he kissed her lips. A ripple of numbness quickly spread through her heart and wouldn't stop for a long time.
She reflexively covered her face, but when she looked up, she only saw Huo Shaoheng's tall figure striding out the door.
Wasn't this person moving too fast?!
Was he running away after flirting?!
Gu Nianzhi stood up and glared at the door of Chen Lie's office, wanting to stop Huo Shaoheng.
Chen Lie staggered out of the office and saw Gu Nianzhi staring at the door. He tilted his head to look. "What's wrong? Where's Huo Shao? "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She took a deep breath and warned herself not to stoop to that person's level. She picked up her bag. "Brother Chen, I'm leaving now. Can I come back next week? "
Chen Lie chuckled and winked at her. "Come if you want. There are no side effects to measuring your height and weight anyway, right?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Forget it, I won't lower myself to their level!
Gu Nianzhi turned to leave.
Coming out of the first floor of the medical building, Gu Nianzhi was surprised to see Huo Shaoheng's car parked in the open space in front of the building.
Huo Shaoheng sat in the car with the window open. He rested one arm on the window and held a cigarette in his hand. White smoke curled up from the cigarette as if it had just been lit.
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi had come out, Huo Shaoheng raised his hand and threw the cigarette into the nearby trash can. He honked and looked at her. "Get in."
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
"Aren't you going back to school?" Huo Shaoheng looked at her from the car, his expression calm and composed. It was as if the man who had been flirting with her in Chen Lie's office was a figment of her imagination and didn't exist at all …
Gu Nianzhi walked over and stood in front of the window to smile at him. "Of course, why wouldn't I? But how can I ask Huo Shao to be my driver? "
Huo Shaoheng poked his head out of the window and whispered into Gu Nianzhi's ear, "… I've even been your ride before. What's there to be embarrassed about being your driver?"
Gu Nianzhi froze. "Ride? When did I … "
"Didn't you ride on top of me last night?" Huo Shaoheng's voice was so low that it seemed to be whispered into the dust, but his expression remained impassive.
He reached out from the car and rubbed Gu Nianzhi's smooth cheek with the back of his hand. "It's cold. Get in the car."
Gu Nianzhi finally understood what Huo Shaoheng was talking about. Her face burned as she went around to the other side and got into the passenger seat. She turned to glare at Huo Shaoheng. "You still have the nerve to say that?! You're the one who forced me! "
Up there …
Huo Shaoheng gave her a half-smile and turned to look at her. He rolled up the window, started the car, and drove to the main gate of the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
As they drove, the soldiers standing guard on the road saluted their car.
Huo Shaoheng waved at the soldiers outside the car as a greeting.
The car sped all the way and quickly got on the highway.
Gu Nianzhi kept looking at the scenery outside the window and didn't speak to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng turned on the radio in the car to break the awkward silence between them.
The radio in his car was set to the military channel, of course. It was actually broadcasting about the Military Art Troupe again …
She didn't know if it was because Tan Guiren was the best talent the Military Art Troupe had recruited in the past few years, but the publicity was overwhelming and was no less than that of a popular celebrity.
Also, because it was a military channel, it was much more impressive than those small-time celebrities.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't angry this time. Her mood gradually improved as she listened to Tan Guiren's melodious music on the radio.
Huo Shaoheng saw that she was fascinated and couldn't help asking her, "… Have you ever thought about why Tan Guiren joined the Military Art Troupe? What does that mean?"
"What does that mean?" Gu Nianzhi frowned. Could there be another meaning?
She hadn't thought about it at first, but now that Huo Shaoheng mentioned it, she also sensed that something was off.
"… From what I know, Prime Minister Tan is currently being impeached, and the impeachment case in the Senate hasn't ended yet. How did Tan Guiren join the Military Art Troupe?" Gu Nianzhi also noticed something was off. "This is joining the military, isn't it?"
Of course, joining the Military Art Troupe meant joining the military.
One couldn't join the Military Art Troupe without joining the military.
Gu Nianzhi grew up with Huo Shaoheng in the military, so she was familiar with such basic knowledge.
Huo Shaoheng nodded approvingly and encouraged her. "Yes, and what else?"
"If Tan Guiren was able to join the military, then it means that she passed her background check and met the requirements …"
Gu Nianzhi deduced one by one. "But Prime Minister Tan's impeachment case hasn't ended yet. How did she pass her background check and pass her background check?"
Logically speaking, if a direct or collateral relative had a criminal record, such a person couldn't become a civil servant or join the military, much less join the Military Art Troupe.
With Tan Guiren's qualifications and education, she would be an officer the moment she joined the military. She would at least be a captain …
"… Tan Guiren has already officially joined the Military Art Troupe?" Gu Nianzhi made a bold assumption and carefully verified it.
"The military's TV and radio stations are taking turns to broadcast it. That means she has officially joined." Huo Shaoheng glanced at her again. "What did you figure out?"
Gu Nianzhi froze slightly and quickly connected Tan Guiren joining the Military Art Troupe with Prime Minister Tan's impeachment case.
"… It looks like Prime Minister Tan's impeachment case will pass smoothly …"
Huo Shaoheng nodded and explained in more depth to Gu Nianzhi. "That's right. This means that Prime Minister Tan's wife, Madam Cai's family, has stepped in again to ensure that their son-in-law passes. Prime Minister Tan's impeachment case has already reached an agreement behind the scenes, so he won't be impeached and removed from office. "
"That's why Tan Guiren can successfully join the Military Art Troupe!" Gu Nianzhi completely understood. "Also, the military's TV and radio stations are taking turns to broadcast it to send a signal to all the competing forces. They're telling them that this matter has already reached an agreement behind the scenes, so they can quit while they're ahead."
“Smart-girl。” Huo Shaoheng couldn't help but rub her head. "In the future, don't just think about being jealous when you encounter something like this. Think more about the meaning behind it."
"But …" Gu Nianzhi still didn't understand. She ignored the innuendo in Huo Shaoheng's words and asked in confusion, "Are Cai Songyin's family that powerful? Also, Prime Minister Tan treated Cai Songyin like that. Instead of supporting their daughter, they continue to protect this son-in-law? "
"About that, if you have the time, you can investigate Prime Minister Tan's wife, Madam Cai's family, and see why they want to protect Prime Minister Tan. Also, find out what power and status they have to be able to make all sides reach a compromise."
Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi with a smile. He thought that way, Gu Nianzhi's attention wouldn't always be on Tan Guiren joining the Military Art Troupe.
To be honest, if Gu Nianzhi really had this thorn in her heart that couldn't be removed, Huo Shaoheng would still have a headache.
It would be best if she could think through the twists and turns and see further, so she wouldn't limit herself to relationships.
When one reached Huo Shaoheng's position, many things could affect the whole situation. Every time the opponent made a move, they would never have only one goal.
Using the opponent's power to attack, knocking on the mountain to scare the tiger, luring the snake out of its hole, and attacking the besieged by besieging the besieged were all martial arts skills.
She was his wife, so she wanted to be like him and look at the scenery from a high vantage point.
Tan Guiren joining the Military Art Troupe not only meant that Prime Minister Tan's impeachment case had passed smoothly, but it also meant that she wanted to test the military.
Huo Shaoheng didn't explain this to Gu Nianzhi in detail.
It would be best if she could think of this herself.
It was fine if she didn't.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't from the military, so Huo Shaoheng didn't want her to have too much contact with military matters for now.
As expected, Gu Nianzhi was attracted by Huo Shaoheng's words. She immediately took out her phone and began to search for any information she could find on Prime Minister Tan's wife, Cai Songyin's family.
Most of the information she could find online was news reports. Occasionally, she could see some sporadic discussions in a small number of forums.
Most of the reports were very positive and had almost no dark history.
This was too strange for Gu Nianzhi, who was used to watching fights on forums. Any internet celebrity would have a dark history all over the place.
She asked Huo Shaoheng on her phone, "The Cai's were indeed very powerful in the past, but after so many years, even their descendants are clean and innocent. That's really rare."
Gu Nianzhi knew about the influential families, such as the Bai's, the Ji's, the Long's, and the Huo's. She could easily find some unflattering rumors circulating on the internet, but there was no negative news about the Cai's at all.
It didn't make sense.
Huo Shaoheng drove to Gu Nianzhi's dormitory and stopped. He turned to her and said, "Then you'll have to find the answer yourself. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll always be victorious."
Gu Nianzhi opened the car door disapprovingly. "What does the Cai's have to do with me? I've given them face, but they want me to know myself and know my enemy? I'm just curious. "
