She felt like her waist was going going to be broken after a long time she stayed in this position.
“Major General Huo…” Gu Nianzhi called out to him softly, “Can you let me fasten my seatbelt? ”
Huo Shaoheng leant toward her without any word.
His body brushed past her, and Gu Nianzhi was enveloped by his refreshing, masculine scent.
Gu Nianzhi’s face was flushed. She felt Huo Shaoheng’s hand groping around her, searching for the seat belt socket.
He was very close to her, and the tip of his nose brushed past her cheek. It was cold, soft with a hard edge, which ignited a fire on her face and burned into her heart.
Gu Nianzhi’s breathing almost stopped.
If this continued, she would not resist!
Major General Huo, I am wrong!
Gu Nianzhi grabbed Huo Shaoheng’s shoulder and softly begged for mercy in his ear.
Huo Shaoheng said calmly, “I just fasten the seatbelt. What are you thinking? ”
As he spoke, he exerted force with his fingers.
The seatbelt buckle made a clicking sound and finally buckled.
Gu Nianzhi found herself feeling even more uncomfortable.
“Major General Huo, I’m not feeling well… ” Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng pleadingly, trying her best to get rid of the shackles on Huo Shaoheng’s arm.
However, the difference in strength between her and Huo Shaoheng was too great.
It was not a big deal for Huo Shaoheng to hold her entire body in one arm.
After looking down at her for a while, Huo Shaoheng let her go and adjusted her collar. His fingertips gently scratched her chin and said as if nothing had happened, ” … What’s taking you so long?”
Gu Nianzhi got goose bumps all over. She quickly turned her head away and sat up straight, rubbing her waist and glaring at Huo Shaoheng, “Why did you still ask me? Didn’t you listen to the recording that professor He sent you? Your dear cousin, Luo Jialan, is mocking me, which irritated me so much.”
Huo Shaoheng seemed to not believe her. “That’s it? Didn’t they leave a long time ago? ”
Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”
“Do you know when they left? ”
Huo Shaoheng didn’t tell her that he had immediately activated the surveillance cameras in the area as soon as listening to the recording and saw the confrontation between Luo Jialan and Cai Shengnan with Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu in the parking lot on his terminal display.
It had been almost an hour since then.
Huo Shaoheng had originally come to pick Gu Nianzhi up. He had said “I’ll wait for you to come back” to Gu Nianzhi, but he had actually wanted to give her a surprise.
But he didn’t expect that he would have to wait another 20 minutes before she came out of He Zhichu’s villa.
“Before you anyway.” Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms as he sat in the back seat, ans said expressionlessly, “What’s up with He Zhichu this time”
Gu Nianzhi sighed. Having such a acute and incisive fiancé, it would be very difficult for her to mess with him in the future..
Gu Nianzhi opened her palm to reveal the keys in her palm and said, “Professor He gifted it to me as a dowry, and he said he wanted me to… be married from this house.”
Huo Shaoheng frowned. “Are these the keys to his West Mountain Villa? ”
Gu Nianzhi nodded.
“It’s too valuable. You shouldn’t accept it. ” Huo Shaoheng refused, and even told Fan Jian to turn around and return to He Zhichu’s West Mountain Villa to hand over the keys.
Gu Nianzhi held onto Huo Shaoheng’s arm and whispered, ” … But I’ve already accepted it. ”
Huo Shaoheng sulked. “What did I tell you in the past? You can’t accept other people’s things. Have you forgotten all about it? ”
“I haven’t forgotten.” Gu Nianzhi said calmly. “But I have a reason to accept it.”
“Tell me. ”
” … Professor He’s grandfather is He Shouwang. And his father was He Chengjian. Our two families are family friends, so he gave me a gift to show his goodwill. ”
“Are you sure? ” Huo Shaoheng’s eyes flashed as he followed up with another question.
If He Shouwang and He Chengjian were really He Zhichu’s grandfather and father, then He Zhichu really did have a history with Gu Nianzhi.
The only question was whether Gu Xiangwen had ever crossed paths with He Chengjian.
In their previous generation, He Shouwang and Gu Haize were close friends.
In the next generation, He zhichu and Gu Nianzhi were also on good terms.
What about Gu Xiangwen and He Chengjian?
What was their relationship like?
Huo Shaoheng couldn’t help asking, “Did Professor He tell you anything about your father? Did your father, Gu Xiangwen, and He Zhichu’s father, He Chengjian, know each other?”
“Of course they knew each other.” Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile. She moved closer to Huo Shaoheng and whispered, “Don’t be angry when I tell you, but Professor He said that his father and my father used to joke that if their future children were a man and a woman, then…”
” … Marry?” Huo Shaoheng snorted. “Such an old-fashioned thing does seem like something overseas Chinese people would do.”
This was very awkward, and also very mean.
Gu Nianzhi reached out and touched the tensed up lines on Huo Shaoheng’s face, and smoothed them out inch by inch. She smiled and whispered into his ear, “Don’t be angry. You’re especially charming when you’re angry, and it makes me want to… have sex with you… ”
Huo Shaoheng: ” … ”
She was getting bolder and bolder, and even daring to make fun of him.
But it had to be said that Gu Nianzhi knew Huo Shaoheng very well, and only she could soothe his deeply hidden emotions.
He grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s “perverted” hand from his face and kissed it. Then he moved closer to Gu Nianzhi’s ear and curled her lips. His voice sounded deep and magnetic as he said, “You’re especially charming when you’re a demon.”
Gu Nianzhi’s face instantly turned bright red. Even the corners of her eyes and brows seemed to be stained with rouge.
She glared at Huo Shaoheng. “That’s too much! How can you talk like that? What about your image as the chief?”
“Same goes for you.” Huo Shaoheng looked at her with a smile. “The chief’s wife doesn’t even care about her image anymore. Would the chief still need it?”
Sigh..
Gu Nianzhi covered her face. Her heart beated rapidly inside.
Compared to these experienced drivers, she was still too inexperienced..
Huo Shaoheng stopped teasing her and silently put his arm around her shoulder. After she had calmed down, he nonchalantly changed the topic and said, “Have you discussed prosecuting Luo Jialan with Professor He?”
Gu Nianzhi still had her head down. She nodded slightly and said softly, “We’ve discussed it. Professor He gave me a schedule for the indictment. I’ll go back and change it according to the procedure.”
“Do you need evidence?” Huo Shaoheng added, “There’s not much physical evidence, but we can immediately look for witnesses.”
Gu Nianzhi snapped back to reality and looked up at Huo Shaoheng. “You mean, Auntie Xing and Auntie You?!”
“Yes. They were fired, but they’ve been under our surveillance the whole time.” Huo Shaoheng paused, then reminded Gu Nianzhi, “Although I support your charge of intentional homicide against Luo Jialan, the process of obtaining evidence is indeed very complicated. ——It’s because even Auntie Xing and Auntie You didn’t know that their actions would’ve killed Ms. Song.”
