Lu Jin leaned against the car seat, crossed his arms, and frowned.”… Is it difficult for you to take her back to recuperate? If you don’t want to go, I’ll go myself.”
After that, he pretended to push the door open and get out of the car.
Lu Yuan quickly pulled him back and said with a change of expression, “Are you serious? ! You’ve already done enough today. Aren’t you afraid that He Chengjian, that old fox, will see through it? !”
“If he sees through it, then so be it. Nianzhi is already like this, so how can I care about my own safety? Anyway, you know me. When my temper rises, I won’t care about anything else!” Unwilling to compromise, Lu Jin looked at Lu Yuan blankly.
His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked, Lu Yuan glared at him. “You just rely on your high IQ to do whatever you want, right?”
“Sorry, when your IQ reaches a certain level, you can do whatever you want.” Lu Jin wasn’t modest at all. He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. “How is it? Do you want to continue cleaning up my mess?”
Lu Yuan shuddered. He recalled the fear of being dominated by Lu Jin’s high IQ all those years ago…
“You win!” With his hoarse voice, Lu Yuan held his breath and slapped the steering wheel. Finally, he gave in.”… I have to make a good plan!”
“Hurry up.” Lu Jin closed the car door again and sat in the passenger seat. He looked at his watch and calculated the time seriously. “You still have six hours, 30 minutes, and 28 seconds.”
Lu Yuan: “…”
“What do you mean?”
“What I mean is, there are still six hours, 30 minutes, and 28 seconds until Nianzhi wakes up.” Lu Jin pressed the countdown button on his smartwatch. ..
“You can indeed go up to the sky,” Lu Yuan muttered. “You even know when she wakes up?”
“It’s very simple. You just need to use a functional equation to solve it.” Lu Jin opened the app on his phone, he showed it to Lu Yuan with an academic spirit. “Look, according to the mass-energy equation, energy (E) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by C squared. C is the constant of the speed of light.”
“I slightly modified the meaning of this equation. Because to be awake, one needs a certain amount of energy E, and the human body’s self-healing ability is M. C is not the constant of the speed of light here, but the physical constant.”
“So I can calculate how long it will take for Nianzhi to wake up. As long as I know her self-healing ability, I can calculate it.”
Lu Yuan: “…”
He didn’t want to study the physical connection between the mass-energy equation and the human body’s healing ability.
He looked away and said calmly, “Nianzhi’s life and death are unknown, yet you’re still here calculating when she will wake up. How nonchalant of you.”
“How can this be called nonchalance?” Lu Jin was displeased, “Of course I care about her. My heart aches for her, and I can’t wait to avenge her. But all of this doesn’t stop me from thinking rationally and finding the most energy-saving and optimal direction from all the complicated side developments.”
“Do you think that at this moment, you can only express your feelings when your brain is a mess and you can’t differentiate between the important and the important, just like those idiots?”
Lu Yuan felt very tired. He held the steering wheel and said expressionlessly, “I didn’t mean that. But you’re so smart, and you often argue with the heavens and the earth. Why don’t you think of a way for me to bring Nianzhi back to recuperate without arousing suspicion?”
Lu Jin was stunned by his words. He stared at him in shock for a while and said, “You’re so capable now. You know how to use a spear to attack a shield.”
The corners of Lu Yuan’s mouth twitched. “You flatter me. After being dominated by a genius for so many years, even a fool has become enlightened.”
“You think too highly of me.” Lu Jin thought for a while and scratched his head. “I’m really not good at this. Because to take her away, it’s not a simple academic problem, nor is it a simple technical problem. It involves interpersonal communication and emotional control. You know that I have interpersonal difficulties…”
Lu Yuan’s mood was a little better. “How rare. Then don’t be noisy. Let me think about it.”
Lu Yuan might not be as accomplished as Lu Jin in terms of academics, but no one was better at socializing and hiding their emotions than Lu Yuan.
Lu Jin didn’t say a word. He kept on swiping his phone, but no one knew what he was doing.
…
Outside Gu Nianzhi’s intensive care unit, He Zhichu sat quietly by himself. His mind kept replaying everything from the first day he saw Gu Nianzhi to tonight.
There had been six years of precious time between them. From a six-year-old child who only dared to peek under the table to a mischievous little girl on her twelfth birthday, she had grown up under his care.
If only life could go on like that…
Why had Gu Xiangwen “abducted” her on her twelfth birthday? Why had he sent her to the other dimension?
He had taken good care of Gu Nianzhi during those six years.
No one could hurt her anymore. Like a princess, she had lived a carefree life in the He family.
She had been sent away when she was twelve, and her life had come to an end in front of him.
At that time, he didn’t understand.
Seven years later, he finally understood, but she had almost sacrificed her life in return.
Under the snow-white light in the corridor, He Zhichu’s cold face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost.
Two years ago, he finally found her.
And she had grown into an eighteen-year-old girl. She was astonishingly smart and adorable to the point that people couldn’t move their eyes away from her.
The affection that he felt for his family had unknowingly changed.
He wanted her. He wanted her like a madman.
In his dreams, he would smile when he woke up from his sweet dreams, thinking that she had never left.
Now, it was all going to end.
He Zhichu clenched his hand tightly, but he realized that the tighter he clenched his hand, the emptier his palm felt. It was like the sand on the beach. The tighter he clenched his hand, the more he would lose.
However, he couldn’t bear to let go of his hand, so he continued to hold it until dawn the next day.
He looked at his watch. It had been six hours, and his palm was purple and numb from the pain.
Inside the intensive care unit, the Ace of the Far East hadn’t rested either. Afraid that he would miss her reaction, he had his eyes fixed on Gu Nianzhi.
But until now, she still had no reaction.
He Zhichu stood up, pushed open the door to the ward, and walked in. He frowned at the Ace of the Far East and said,”… You haven’t slept all night? You’re quite attentive…”
The Ace of the Far East’s expression was even colder than He Zhichu. He said coldly, “If you’re not attentive to your own savior, then you’re heartless. The KGB of the USSR might be ruthless, but we have never repaid kindness with enmity towards our savior.”
He Zhichu’s expression changed abruptly, and he said in a rough voice, “What do you mean?!”
“I mean it literally.” The Ace of the Far East stood up. “I said, I want to see her recover completely and as normally as a healthy person with my own eyes.”
“… You like her, don’t you?” He Zhichu was silent for a while, then suddenly asked.
The Ace of the Far East looked away uncomfortably. “It’s none of your business. She is my savior. I, Peter, have been roaming the Far East for ten years, but I have never owed anyone such a big favor.”
“Is that so?” He Zhichu’s voice became calm. After a night of mental preparation and reflection, he seemed to have accepted his fate. “Don’t you want to catch the person who fired the gun?”
“… Don’t you want to?” The Ace of the Far East looked over. His eyes flashed, and his dark jade-like eyes were deep. “Or are you planning to let the culprit go?”
“Impossible!” He Zhichu looked up abruptly. “I will not let go of anyone who has hurt her or planned to hurt her!”
“That’s good. I’ll wait and see.” The Ace of the Far East nodded. “I’m going to stay in your country for a long time. I think I have enough time to see Mr. He fulfill your promise.”
He Zhichu’s face darkened. He pointed at the Ace of the Far East, who had his head held high. Without saying a word, he turned and strode out of Gu Nianzhi’s intensive care unit.
Walking out the door, he was in a bad mood. He wanted to smoke a cigarette, but his phone rang.
He didn’t want to answer it, but the man kept calling. He took out his phone to take a look.
It was Lu Yuan.
He Zhichu frowned. He didn’t have the energy to brush him off, but when he remembered that Gu Nianzhi was still working for him, he unlocked the phone and answered.
“Director Lu, what’s the matter?”
Lu Yuan’s voice was very anxious. “Young Master He, I want to ask, where is my employee, Zhao Liangze? I haven’t been able to contact him since yesterday. Oh, and lawyer Gu. Jin Dazhuang had something to tell her, but he couldn’t find her.”
He Zhichu almost forgot about Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang, who were under his care.
“Oh, something happened yesterday. Director Zhao and Miss Bai cannot contact the outside world for the time being, but everything is fine now. I’ll get someone to send them out.” He Zhichu wanted to hang up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
Lu Yuan let out a sigh of relief and immediately said, “What about lawyer Gu? Jin Dazhuang still has some private matters to inform her.”
“What private matters?” He Zhichu subconsciously gripped his phone tightly. It was not easy to adjust his state of mind. After all, it was not easy to lose a relationship that had lasted for so many years.
“It’s like this. The building that she rented in Nan City has been bought recently and is going to be demolished. Her landlord wanted to take back the room, but he could not get through to her private phone. In the end, he found the law firm where she worked. Jin Dazhuang couldn’t get through to her phone either, so he could only look for me. What do you think is going on? I’m going back to C City soon, and none of these people are here.”
His voice anxious, Lu Yuan complained.
He Zhichu rubbed his forehead. “Miss Gu was injured yesterday, so she can’t move for the time being.”
“Huh? Injured? How could she be injured? Where is she? Can I come and see her?” Lu Yuan sounded very shocked, and it didn’t seem like he was faking it.
He Zhichu thought about it for a moment. Gu Nianzhi had no family here, and she didn’t recognize the He family. She could not recognize the Qin family either, so she only had Lu Yuan, Zhao Liangze, and Jin Dazhuang, who were more familiar friends and colleagues.
At this time, her injuries were so serious that it would be better for Lu Yuan to see her.
With Lu Yuan’s help, Gu Nianzhi’s future would be better.
He made up his mind and said, “Miss Gu is in ward a of the intensive care unit on the sixteenth floor of West Camp Hospital. You can come and see her when you’re free.”
Lu Yuan agreed. “I’ll be right over. I hope this matter can be resolved before the plane takes off.”
