In that instant, Gu Nianzhi felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
She studied law and was best at court trials and lawsuits.
After a few major lawsuits, she was already an expert among experts when it came to tricking people out of their mouths.
All this time, she had followed the three elements of tricking people out of them: Timing! Timing! Timing!
Nothing was more important than timing.
For example, today was just after New Year's Eve and around 2 am on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the time of year when a person's willpower was at its weakest.
Even the Special Operations Forces members who had undergone special training were the easiest to break down on a night like this when they were so busy and excited that they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
The most effective way of tricking people out of them didn't depend on how clever or brain-draining the topic was, but it had to be absolutely simple, direct, and straight to the point so that the other party couldn't react in time. What they blurted out was the closest thing to the truth.
Just like earlier, she picked up where Chen Lie left off and directly asked her own question.
Chen Lie instinctively said his most direct response, "Of course!"
What was' of course '?!
Did she have to sleep with someone to get the antidote?!
Gu Nianzhi immediately recalled what Ye Zitan had said to her before her execution.
"Nianzhi … The person I've let down the most is you. You're actually more pitiful than me … I shouldn't have cooperated with others to hurt you … I still remember that time you were violated to that extent and covered in wounds. I felt so bad seeing that … How could I pour salt on your wounds? I must have been possessed … "
Ever since she had been kidnapped by Seth and his men in Germany, she had pretended to faint and overheard H3aB7's functions and effects. This suspicion had remained in her heart and had snowballed and gotten bigger and bigger.
She still remembered the first time she had fallen victim to this so-called H3aB7 at her classmate Feng Yixi's birthday party.
Chen Lie later told her that he had developed an "antidote," so she would be fine and wouldn't need to have sex with a man.
However, after returning from Germany, Chen Lie's assistant, Dr. Ye Zitan, was caught as a traitor. She had betrayed two Special Operations Forces field agents just so they could lead people to Gu Nianzhi's location.
Before Ye Zitan was executed, Gu Nianzhi saw her one last time.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Gu Nianzhi could see Ye Zitan through a glass wall, laughing and crying at the same time.
That was when the seeds of doubt began to sprout …
"I have to sleep with someone to get rid of it? Then I've really been violated? "Gu Nianzhi immediately asked Ye Zitan's question.
Perhaps the word "waste" was too shocking, but Chen Lie, who had been drowsy and about to fall asleep, suddenly woke up.
It was as if someone had poured a basin of snow water on his head. The coldness penetrated his heart from the inside out. Gradually, he was at a loss of what to do. His limbs stiffened, and even his tongue seemed to be frozen, unable to speak.
"It's over, it's over …" Chen Lie clutched his head and wailed in his heart. He wanted nothing more than to bang his head against the wall.
Why couldn't he control his mouth?!
Back then, Huo Shaoheng had forced him to make a military pledge!
If Gu Nianzhi found out, he would spend the rest of his life in prison …
Chen Lie almost wanted to bury himself under the blankets and pretend he hadn't heard Gu Nianzhi.
However, Gu Nianzhi wasn't going to let him off so easily.
"Brother Chen? Brother Chen? I know you're listening. Tell me, was I really raped by someone? "
Gu Nianzhi's voice became lower and lower, and in the quiet night, it was almost audible.
Chen Lie was struggling between "telling Huo Shaoheng" and "admitting that she was raped." There seemed to be two little people hiding in his mind.
A little person with a black horn on his head kept egging him on. "Tell her, just say that she was raped. That doesn't count as a violation of the military pledge because she didn't drag Huo Shaoheng into it."
A little person with a shiny halo on his head looked at him nervously. "Better tell her the truth. This girl is pitiful enough …"
Chen Lie wasn't a bad person. On the contrary, he was very kind, warm, and generous.
Generally speaking, people who chose to become doctors all had a deep desire to save lives, save lives, and save a building from collapse.
Chen Lie was also the chief doctor of the Special Operations Forces, so his dedication in this area was deeper than the average doctor's.
However, Huo Shaoheng had shocked him too much. It wasn't just because of the military pledge, but because Chen Lie knew that Huo Shaoheng was a man of his word.
He had a feeling that if this matter really came out of his mouth, being able to spend the rest of his life in prison was probably already his best option.
He didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to him …
Zhao Liangze had only been drunk and had teased Huo Shaoheng about being dumped by Gu Nianzhi. He had been "exiled" by Huo Shaoheng to a deserted island in the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.
And because he had spoken too fast, he would probably feel better if he hung himself with a rope.
Thinking of this, Chen Lie crawled out from under the blankets. His nose was a little sore, and he wanted to cry. "Nianzhi, don't force me. Brother Chen is unlucky to have been tricked by a clever little girl like you. It's Brother Chen's fault, but I beg you, don't ask anymore, okay? If you ask again, Brother Chen will really have no choice but to hang himself with a rope. "
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank. "Brother Chen, did Huo Shao tell you not to say it?"
Her heart was sour and sweet, and extremely uncomfortable …
She knew that she couldn't have been raped.
Because before she lost consciousness, she knew that she was with Chen Lie, and he had taken her to the Special Operations Forces base.
And in Huo Shaoheng's territory, no one could have raped her.
But Ye Zitan's words and Chen Lie's reaction proved that Ye Zitan wasn't making up a rumor.
What did this mean?
This meant that Gu Nianzhi had indeed experienced intense sex at the time.
So when Ye Zitan saw her afterwards, she thought that she had been raped …
So who had slept with her?!
Who had become her "antidote"?!
"Brother Chen, tell me, did you find someone to sleep with me and become my antidote?!" Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists tightly, her body as stiff as her voice. "If you don't say, I'll take it as a yes!"
Thinking about how her virginity had ended just like that, Gu Nianzhi's heart ached. Her face was pale, and she was so upset that she wanted to die …
So this was the reason why Huo Shaoheng had avoided her in the first place?
Ever since she had woken up, Huo Shaoheng hadn't seen her for a full six months.
Was it because seeing her reminded him of sleeping with someone else?
"Brother Chen, tell me, is this true?! Does Huo Shao know about this?! "Gu Nianzhi cried.
She was so ashamed that she wanted to hide herself. Thinking about how Huo Shaoheng had insisted on avoiding her, and how she had shamelessly chased after him, throwing a tantrum, and confessing all sorts of things, she wanted to jump off the 24th floor!
Hearing Gu Nianzhi cry, Chen Lie panicked and quickly said, "Nianzhi, don't cry, I'm doing this for your own good!"
"For my own good?! You should have at least told me! " Gu Nianzhi pounded the bed and cried herself hoarse. "Do you know, every time I think about what I did back then, forcing him to accept me, I want to die!"
"… A man can't accept something like that, but I … What did I do?! Brother Chen, you really killed me, I don't have the face to see Huo Shao anymore! "Gu Nianzhi was so angry she threw her phone away.
She had a feeling that Huo Shaoheng had known about this, and he had struggled and avoided it. It was her, she was the one who forced him to be with her.
Otherwise, why couldn't he find any woman? Why did he have to be with someone like her?
Did he not let Chen Lie say it because he was afraid she would feel bad?
He had always been this kind of person, always thinking for her best, even after finding out about this, he still chose to be with her in the end …
She remembered her first time with Huo Shaoheng. Huo Shaoheng had done it with her in the bathtub.
But she had thought that Huo Shaoheng was too anxious, but now that she thought about it, he must have been worried that she would find out the truth, so he deliberately did it with her in the bathtub.
He didn't want her to feel sad or guilty, and he didn't want her to have any psychological burdens. He shouldered everything on his own and moved forward with the burden.
No matter how hard or tiring it was, he would only say nothing.
Gu Nianzhi's tears fell like rain.
For her immature self, for Huo Shaoheng, who silently did everything for her.
