Ma Qiqi hadn't expected Gu Nianzhi to object, so she froze. She clutched her phone and sat tongue-tied on the bed, not knowing what to do.
Gu Nianzhi didn't hear a sound from the other end of the phone, so she knew Ma Qiqi probably didn't believe she would object and was still in shock …
But she really couldn't let Ma Qiqi stay with her now.
She was probably the only one who knew that Ishihara Taro's real target was her, Gu Nianzhi.
The elevator incident in the dormitory building was probably a hasty move by Ishihara Taro after he found out that she was going to graduate early.
As for why Gui Suyao was in the elevator, Gu Nianzhi had her own thoughts.
However, the most important thing now was to appease Ma Qiqi. Gu Nianzhi didn't want Ma Qiqi to misunderstand her.
Ma Qiqi was her best friend. When she was trapped in Germany and had no one to turn to for help, only that silly girl, Ma Qiqi, did everything she could to help her.
Gu Nianzhi composed herself and saw that it was Huo Shaoheng's call. She didn't pick it up but continued to comfort Ma Qiqi.
His voice was very gentle as he said, "Qiqi, don't think too much about it. It's not that I don't want you to stay over, but I really have something to do here. The dormitory is actually safer. Wait for a few more days. After the exams are over, I'll pick you up to live here, okay? "
Ma Qiqi bit her lip. She wanted to beg Gu Nianzhi again, but when she heard Gu Nianzhi say that, it sounded like she really had a problem, so she couldn't bring herself to ask.
In the end, he nodded and said softly, "Alright, I understand. It's late, let's go to bed. Good night. "
Gu Nianzhi was silent for a moment. "Good night."
After hanging up, Ma Qiqi still felt uncomfortable.
After this incident, she wasn't afraid anymore, but she didn't understand Gu Nianzhi's behavior.
She played with her phone listlessly and dialed Yin Shixiong's number.
"Brother Xiong, Nianzhi won't let me stay at her place …" Ma Qiqi's voice was muffled, and her nose was sniffling. She seemed to be crying.
Yin Shixiong's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys hurt. He hurriedly said, "Qiqi, don't be afraid. How about I pick you up and let you stay at my house? I also have an apartment outside. "
Ma Qiqi snapped out of her daze and immediately objected, "That's not necessary, Brother Xiong. Maybe Nianzhi has some difficulties, but I'm fine. They would talk about it after the exam. Byebye。”
Ma Qiqi finally stopped. She hung up the phone and rolled over to sleep.
Yin Shixiong became worried again and quickly called Huo Shaoheng to complain. "Huo Shao, what's wrong with Nianzhi? She wasn't that kind of person! Qiqi said she wanted to stay at her place for a few days, but she actually objected! "
Huo Shaoheng saw that Gu Nianzhi's phone was busy, so he didn't call her again. He thought Gu Nianzhi would take Ma Qiqi to her apartment for a few days.
After all, someone had just died in the elevator of the dormitory building. It was reasonable for the little girl to be afraid.
She hadn't expected Gu Nianzhi to object to Ma Qiqi staying with her.
This is too abnormal.
When he thought about how Gu Nianzhi had suddenly abandoned the school dormitory and returned to her own apartment as a day student, Huo Shaoheng clearly sensed that something was wrong.
He couldn't sit still any longer. He hurriedly grabbed his coat from the hanger by the door, put it on, and left the house with his car keys.
He didn't ask his orderly, Fan Jian, to drive. Instead, he personally drove to Gu Nianzhi's Hepingli Apartments.
…
Gu Nianzhi found out what had happened in the school elevator and couldn't fall asleep.
She got up and went to the kitchen to warm some milk for herself.
Just then, her phone rang again.
Gu Nianzhi picked it up and saw it was He Zhichu.
She swiped open the phone and answered it.
"Professor He? It's so late. You're still awake? "
He Zhichu was wearing a Valentino haute couture gray camel cashmere half-length coat. He stood in front of Gu Nianzhi's dormitory building and called her.
"Nianzhi, are you asleep? You didn't get a scare today, did you? "
He had just learned that Gu Nianzhi's dormitory building's elevator had an accident, so he specially came to see her.
Gu Nianzhi quickly shook her head. "I'm fine. Professor He, it's late. Aren't you resting?"
He Zhichu looked up in the direction of Gu Nianzhi's dormitory. "I'm downstairs. I'm worried. Turn on the lights and let me see. "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
When she came back from Huo Shaoheng's place, she said she wanted to return to her Hepingli apartment as a day student. He Zhichu had objected at the time.
However, Gu Nianzhi still agreed on the surface but opposed him on the inside. She secretly began studying on her own.
She adapted very well this week. Even He Zhichu didn't notice.
But now, she couldn't hide it anymore.
Gu Nianzhi sighed softly and took a sip of warm milk from the microwave. She said calmly, "Professor He, I'm not in the dormitory."
He Zhichu was speechless for a long time.
After a while, he finally said in a low voice, "Where are you?"
"I'm in the Hepingli apartment," Gu Nianzhi said softly. Her voice was very gentle and slow. She was trying hard to appease He Zhichu's anger.
"Didn't I tell you not to go anywhere last time?" He Zhichu raised his voice. His grip was so strong that he almost flattened the phone.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said gently, "Professor He, it's actually okay. You see, I returned to the Hepingli apartment just in time to avoid the dormitory building's elevator accident. I didn't make it in time, and I wasn't scared. Isn't that perfect? Also … "
Gu Nianzhi paused and stirred the milk with a small silver spoon. She added some cranberries and oatmeal. "Also, I'm scared after what happened in the dormitory building. I don't dare to go back."
This was a valid and logical reason.
He Zhichu rubbed his temples and finally took a step back. "… That's fine. Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning for the exam. I'll send you back after the exam. Anyway, I'll tie you to my side for the next few days. "
He Zhichu didn't know why, but he also felt inexplicably uneasy.
The elevator accident in Gu Nianzhi's dormitory building was clearly a coincidence. He had a feeling that Gu Nianzhi had escaped a disaster and couldn't get better.
Gu Nianzhi was shocked when she heard He Zhichu wanted to pick her up every day. She immediately refused. "Professor He, you don't have to pick me up. I'm very safe."
"What's wrong with being very safe? You don't want me to pick you up because you're safe? There's only four or five days left anyway. "He Zhichu refused to give up.
Gu Nianzhi panicked and used Huo Shaoheng's name to stop He Zhichu. "Professor He, you really don't have to. Actually … actually Huo Shaoheng has other plans for me. If you interfere, I'm afraid Huo Shaoheng …"
He Zhichu was very insistent at first. However, when he heard Gu Nianzhi say Huo Shaoheng had other plans, he hesitated and asked doubtfully, "Huo Shaoheng really has other plans?"
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi nodded vigorously. She knew that He Zhichu would never confront Huo Shaoheng, so she could use the "time difference" to her advantage!
She would explain to He Zhichu and Ma Qiqi once things were settled.
However, Gu Nianzhi thought about what she had to do and didn't dare tell Ma Qiqi the truth.
The kitchen was lit with a yellow ceiling light. The light was soft and silky, and the ivory cabinets were gentle and silent under the yellow light.
She extended her hand and looked at her snow-white fingers. They were clean and without a single blemish.
Although her hands were small, they had their own unique strength and energy.
Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists. Her delicate face was expressionless. She was as cold as an ice sculpture, elegant and cold.
"Professor He, did you know? The girl who died in the dormitory building's elevator today was our counselor, Gui Suyao. You're familiar with her, right? She was also your doctoral student. "Gu Nianzhi changed the topic without batting an eyelid.
He Zhichu walked to his car and opened the door to get in. He drove to his professor's building.
"Really? It was actually her? "He Zhichu was also a bit surprised.
Gu Nianzhi took a sip of milk and said, "Professor He, do you still remember the ball our class had at Jinling Bar on Christmas Eve?"
He Zhichu nodded. "Of course I remember. We were almost wiped out."
"Yes, I always felt that there was someone among my classmates who tipped off the mastermind. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that we were chased by police cars as soon as we left the bar's parking lot?"
He Zhichu understood. "You mean that the person who tipped off the mastermind was Gui Suyao?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded quietly. "She was the most likely."
That was the only way to explain why Ishihara Taro wanted to kill Gui Suyao.
This could also be used in reverse. Why did Ishihara Taro want to kill Gui Suyao?
Gui Suyao must have known something very unfavorable to Ishihara Taro.
Then, other than the Christmas ball incident, Gu Nianzhi couldn't think of anything else that could have crossed paths with Gui Suyao.
So from the looks of it, the incident of tying two bags of white powder under He Zhichu's car was inextricably linked to Ishihara Taro.
However, Gu Nianzhi didn't mention this. She couldn't let He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng know who she was suspecting.
If the two of them found out, her plan might not be able to proceed.
He Zhichu remembered what happened that night and didn't insist on picking her up. He only reminded her, "Listen to Huo Shaoheng's arrangements and don't run around. Here, I think it won't be a problem for him to protect you. "
Gu Nianzhi tilted her head with a smile. "Professor He doesn't have any prejudice against Huo Shao?"
He Zhichu coughed. "I don't have any prejudice against him. As long as he's good to you, I won't reject him."
Gu Nianzhi was so touched that her throat choked. She gulped down a few mouthfuls of warm milk to suppress her tears. She said softly, "Yes, thank you, Professor He. Good night."
He Zhichu also said good night to her before hanging up.
Gu Nianzhi quietly finished her warm milk in the kitchen, washed the cup, and walked to the bedroom.
Just then, she heard the door to the living room knock.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She quickly turned off the lights in the room and picked up the baseball bat in the corner of the bedroom. She waited quietly by the wall behind the bedroom door.
It was Huo Shaoheng who opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he immediately said, "Nianzhi, it's me."
