Lu Yuan and Lu Jin’s apartment was located in the northwest of Sihuan District.
The He family’s mansion was in the center of Sihuan District. It was the inner line of the second ring road.
There was still a long way to go from the second ring road to the northwest of Sihuan District.
Gu Nianzhi was in a good mood. She turned on the car stereo and hummed along.
She knew that singing was her weak point, and that she was tone deaf, so she only dared to secretly sing in the car alone.
Not long after she started singing, she noticed a black Volkswagen sedan that had been following her since she got on the highway.
She had been off the highway for a long time now, and was walking through the streets and alleys of the Sihuan district. This car had been following her at a steady pace.
This car was the most common model on the streets of the imperial capital, but after following her for so long, Gu Nianzhi had a good memory. She had seen this car in the rear-view mirror time and time again, so it would be strange if she didn’t recognize it!
It looked like the Ace of the Far East had switched cars to follow her?
Gu Nianzhi was annoyed.
How could this person be like this?
She had already said that she wasn’t interested in him, yet he still shamelessly followed her.
This kind of situation was called stalking overseas, and she could have gone to the police!
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and suddenly stepped on the accelerator. He Zhichu’s car was very good, and it immediately shot out like an arrow.
She suddenly accelerated, and the car behind her also subconsciously followed.
Gu Nianzhi began to drift on the busy Sihuan road, and she felt like she was going to fly.
It had been a long time since she had driven so freely. She couldn’t help curling her lips and glancing at the rear-view mirror.
Huh? That car was actually following her…
His driving skills were pretty good, huh?
Gu Nianzhi skillfully turned the steering wheel. After passing another car, she suddenly slowed down and changed two lanes in a row to get close to the Black Volkswagen sedan that had just caught up.
She turned to look at the Ace of the Far East in the car next to her and proudly waved at him while making a “V” sign.
Through the Volkswagen’s window, Gu Nianzhi could see the dark face of the Ace of the Far East. He seemed to be very angry that his anger was about through seep through the window.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt relaxed and happy. She just wanted to laugh out loud.
She had defeated the KGB’s Ace of the Far East!
She could brag about it for a year after she got back!
She smugly scratched her cheek with her finger and shamed the Ace of the Far East. She immediately stepped on the gas and wanted to speed up to leave.
She seemed to have angered the KGB’s Ace of the Far East, who also started to show off his driving skills.
The front of his car suddenly slanted to the front of her lane, less than 10 centimeters away from her front!
Gu Nianzhi quickly turned the steering wheel to the other lane.
Immediately after, the Black Volkswagen rushed over and squeezed her into another lane to the right.
Gu Nianzhi was sweating.
She hadn’t expected the Ace of the Far East to be so crazy…
He was indeed worthy of being a warrior. She had to admit defeat…
Gu Nianzhi wanted to beg for mercy. Her face was pale, her legs were weak, and her feet were trembling. Her hands were on the steering wheel, and her grip was so tight that she almost pulled it off.
All she saw was that she kept changing lanes until she was finally pushed out of the driveway by the Ace of the Far East.
When she saw the Black Volkswagen almost hit the guardrail on the side of the road and was coming to her head, she also slammed on the brakes and came to a screeching stop on the side of the road.
Lying on the steering wheel, Gu Nianzhi panted heavily, and her chest hurt. The race had been too intense, and her heart, which had just recovered, was still a little overwhelmed.
The Ace of the Far East stopped the car in time and got out in a huff. He kicked Gu Nianzhi’s door and growled, “Get out of the car!”
Gu Nianzhi was shocked. She turned to look out the window and happened to bump into the familiar yet also unfamiliar face of the Ace of the Far East.
Seeing Gu Nianzhi’s pale face, the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and the way she was clutching her chest, the Ace of the Far East instantly understood that the injury to her heart had not fully recovered.
How dare she race with him in such a half-dead state? !
She was really tired of living!
“Get out of the car!” Signaling for her to get out, the Ace of the Far East knocked on the window again. This time, his voice was softer and less angry, but his expression was even colder.
Wondering if he was stupid, Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips? Why would she get out of the car at a time like this?
She shook her head like a rattle drum. “No, no, no, no…”
The windows were soundproof, and Gu Nianzhi’s voice was very low. The Ace of the Far East couldn’t hear what she was saying, but judging by her actions, he knew she refused to get out of the car.
The Ace of the Far East took out his phone, wrote a few words on the writing board, and stuck it on the window for her to see.
It read: “No other car is following you.”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
Seeing that she was still not moving, the Ace of the Far East took back his phone and wrote another sentence: “I know where President Lu and your father’s apartment are. I can show you the way.”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
Well, so he knew everything. Then why did she have to race against the KGB?
Gu Nianzhi opened the door and got out of the car.
The Ace of the Far East crossed his arms and leaned against Gu Nianzhi’s car. He looked at her awkwardly standing in front of him, then looked her up and down coldly. His voice was like a cold wind blowing from the far north, “… Why were you running?”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
Her legs were still weak, but she wasn’t going to lose. Gu Nianzhi asked bluntly, “Why were you chasing me?”
“… I said I was going to chase you.” The Ace of the Far East’s face was stern and cold. “So did you think you could run away?”
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. “You’re going to chase me just like that? The last person who wanted to chase me was Young Master He. Look at how I treated him.”
This made the Ace of the Far East speechless.
He lowered his head, and his tall and straight nose cast a shadow on the side of his face. His jawline was exquisite to the point of perfection.
Imagining that he was Major General Huo over there, Gu Nianzhi secretly took a few more glances at him, so that she could satisfy her craving…
The Ace of the Far East thought for a moment, then right as he raised his head, his eyes met Gu Nianzhi’s.
He suddenly smiled and leaned forward. His clear voice was soul-stirring.”… Peeping at me? Hmm?”
Gu Nianzhi quickly looked away and snorted. She raised her chin slightly. “I’m spying on you! Peeping? Is that necessary?”
She waved her hand. “If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don’t, I’m leaving. I haven’t eaten all morning, and I’m starving. President Lu is going to make me paella.”
The Ace of the Far East frowned. “Paella? What’s so good about it?”
Seeing that her face was still pale, the Ace of the Far East still tried to persuade her. “It’s not suitable for you to eat any seafood-related food right now. It’s not good for your heart’s recovery.”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
“If you still want to eat, I’ll call your father and tell him to be careful.” As the Ace of the Far East spoke, he was about to call Lu Jin.
Gu Nianzhi quickly stopped him. “Okay, okay, I’m not eating. I’m not eating seafood fried rice. Don’t call my father!”
“It’s fine if you don’t call. I’ll go with you.” The Ace of the Far East was very insistent. “I have to keep an eye on you. I can’t let you eat seafood-related food.”
“You don’t believe me?” Gu Nianzhi was very angry. “Am I a person who doesn’t keep his word? !”
The Ace of the Far East looked down at her. “How do you show that you’re a person who keeps his word?”
Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists. “Watch me if you don’t believe me!”
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” The Ace of the Far East immediately answered and quickly made a call. “Ivan? Come and drive my car away. I’ll text you the address.”
He then pulled open Gu Nianzhi’s car door and stuffed her into the passenger seat. He sat in the driver’s seat, fastened his seat-belt, and skillfully reversed the car on the road. Soon, he drove away.
Once the Ace of the Far East made his move, Gu Nianzhi didn’t even have a chance to resist.
He somehow twisted the seat-belt on her body, but she couldn’t undo it.
It was like a dream. Soon, the Ace of the Far East brought her to the entrance of the high-rise apartment where Lu Yuan and Lu Jin lived.
“… How did you know where they live?” Gu Nianzhi asked suspiciously.
She didn’t say a word.
“What misunderstanding do you have about the KGB’s abilities?” The KGB said aloofly and rang the doorbell.
Lu Jin opened the door gloomily and said to the Ace of the Far East with a frown, “Okay, she’s here. You can go now.”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
He was better at burning bridges than she was.
The Ace of the Far East looked at Gu Nianzhi expressionlessly and said, “Uncle Lu, I promised lawyer Gu that I would watch her not eat the paella today. I can’t go back on my word.”
Gu Nianzhi was at a loss for words. Who did she offend?
Just because she thought of Major General Huo, she wanted to eat the famous paella out of lovesickness. Because of the Ace of the Far East’s meddling, she couldn’t even eat paella.
Lu Jin had no choice but to let them in. He asked in puzzlement, “… Nianzhi, why can’t you eat paella? Didn’t you ask for it on the phone just now? I just asked someone to send the ingredients over.”
The core ingredient of paella was saffron. One had to use an especially authentic saffron to stir-fry the unique flavor.
Lu Jin’s apartment had all kinds of ingredients, except for saffron.
“Mr. Peter said that my wound had just healed, so I can’t eat seafood.” Gu Nianzhi clutched her chest and looked away from the kitchen with great difficulty.
Through the translucent kitchen door, she could see Lu Yuan’s tall figure standing in front of the cupboard.
“But there’s no scientific basis for the side effects of seafood on wound healing.” Lu Jin began to explain, “There is a saying among people that foods such as seafood can affect the wound healing after surgery and increase the chances of infection. This saying is completely groundless.”
“There are three stages of wound healing after surgery.”
“In the first stage, blood clots will form at the wound. Fibrin is needed to stop the bleeding and seal it.”
“In the second stage, new fibroblasts will appear. The blood clot will break down and form a scar
“In the third stage, the scar tissue will fuse with the original cell tissue and recover its original physiological functions
“In these three stages, seafood and other high-protein foods are essential nutrients to help the wound heal and allow the cells to perform repair functions.”
Gu Nianzhi was beaming as she listened. She hugged Lu Jin’s arm and leaned her head against his shoulder. “That’s great! Long live Dad! I want to eat paella!”
The Ace of the Far East lowered his “noble” head in front of “science.” “Uncle Lu, you’re really knowledgeable. It was my fault for being ignorant. I’ve learned a lot from you.”
“That’s okay.” Lu Jin relaxed his brows and said in a domineering manner, “Of course I’ll take care of my own daughter. I won’t give her anything she shouldn’t eat. Alright, we’re going to have lunch. You…”
“Then thank you, Uncle Lu. I will accept your offer.” The Ace of the Far East sat down and said with a smile, “I have never eaten paella before. Today, I will also try Boss Lu’s cooking skills.”
