Although these two secret rooms had existed for a long time, Wen Shouyi had only recently found out about them.
She quickly glanced at Gu Nianzhi, not daring to look at He Chengjian at all. Her eyelids drooped, she said with a weak voice, “Alright, you guys do whatever you want. I have to go for a meeting with the management. I’ll give you an investigation outcome on why this room used so much electricity.”
As she spoke, she turned around and gritted her teeth as she endured the pain in her arms. She pretended that nothing had happened and walked towards the elevator.
She was accompanied by many. Other than the staff in the director’s office, there were members of the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital’s legal team, in addition to the bodyguards she hired, the new media personnel that she brought along. In terms of sheer numbers, it was almost comparable to the people that He Chengjian had brought with him.
Gu Nianzhi was very angry when she saw her left just like that.
She was certain that Wen Shouyi knew something. Even if she didn’t know the whole truth, she should at least knew part of the truth.
However, the problem was that although Wen Shouyi often fell into her traps, as a lawyer, Wen Shouyi’s ability to protect herself was extraordinary.
Even if she had to cut off her tail to survive, she could still play the edge ball of the law and make it impossible for anyone to investigate any further on her.
She had obviously interfered in the kidnapping case regarding Gu Nianzhi previously. She had deliberately misled He Zhichu as she had insisted from beginning to the end that she did not know who she saw, she had made it impossible for the court to convict her.
However, He Zhichu’s over concern had thrown himself into confusion. He had the misinterpretation that Gu Xiangwen had taken Gu Nianzhi away,
As long as she did not mention Gu Nianzhi’s name, there was no way she could be convicted of perjury. Furthermore, Wen Shouyi had actually gotten out of the lawsuit unscathed as her parents had taken the initiative to take all the blame.
Gu Nianzhi’s facial expression darkened slightly as she silently watched from the back of Wen Shouyi as she walked towards the other end of the corridor.
Xie Qingying saw that most of the reporters from the new media had left, it was not appropriate for her to stay on alone.
She looked at the live broadcast camera and simply reported the entire process again. Finally, she said, “We have already started to search the entire hospital for a possible large-scale facility that might exist. I wonder if the audience is interested to continue waiting?”
On the live telecast, countless response of “Wait” flashed over the entire screen.
Since the audience had said that they wanted to wait, Xie Qingying took the opportunity to stay.
She had been burning with anxiety when she knew about He Zhichu’s accident ever since. However, the He family residence was not a place where you could go to just because you wanted to.
Moreover, after He Zhichu’s accident, He Chengjian had watched over the entire He family closely. The people who went in and out of the place were all his trusted aides. Others, including the He family’s servants, were all locked down in the workers’ room and could not move around freely.
The He residence was currently under military control.
It was not until Wen Shouyi sent someone to call her, and revealed the news in the hospital to her, that she could rushed over.
There was not much she could do, and she could only help He Zhichu as much as she could.
But now that she was on official business, it was not good for her to probe on other’s private matters.
She hesitated and glanced at He Chengjian a few times. She wanted to ask him personally about He Zhichu’s condition specifically.
However, He Chengjian was surrounded by lots of people. She could not even get close to him, let alone ask him any questions.
As for inviting him to do a live broadcast while carrying a live camera?
It is almost like some one in grand old age started taking arsenic, purely tired of living.
Just as the entire ward fell into a strange silence, He Chengjian’s personal secretary’s walkie-talkie suddenly rang.
He quickly picked it up and asked, “What’s going on?”
From the other end of the walkie-talkie came the surprised voices of the soldiers, “Reporting to Chief! A large-scale facility has been found in the CT room! After the evaluation of the facility experts, it was identified as a large-scale infrasonic emission source”
“What? ! Infrasonic emission source! Infrasonic weapon? !” He Chengjian’s personal secretary shouted loudly, “So Major General He was injured by an infrasonic weapon!”
He Chengjian’s entire body shook, and he furrowed his brows tightly. His expression was filled with hostility, as if a storm was about to come. It was gloomy and heavy.
He strode towards the door.
His orderly soldiers quickly followed, still surrounding him in the middle.
Everyone was moving so quickly, and with so many people walking towards the door in unison, it was inevitable that there would be a crowd at exit.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t dodge in time and was almost pushed to the ground by a few sturdy soldiers.
She staggered backward, but was still unable to stop in time, just as she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong arms reached out from behind her and helped her up steadily.
It was Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt all the strength in her body return. She took advantage of the situation and steadied herself, turned around and was about to say “Thank you” when she saw Huo Shaoheng suddenly walk past her, banded forward, and picked up something from the ground.
Gu Nianzhi:was speechless.
At that moment, Gu Nianzhi wasn’t sure if Huo Shaoheng had only noticed the thing on the ground as he helped her up. Or he had only helped her up so as to pick up the thing on the ground.
She quickly lowered her eyes and retracted her hand. Her long eyelashes were like two rows of small fans, covering the rolling emotions in her eyes.
Huo Shaoheng carelessly held her waist with one hand and spread his other hand. In his palm lay the thing he had just picked up from the ground.
This place near the door was where Wen Shouyi had been standing.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at it and was surprised to see a round coin lying in Huo Shaoheng’s palm. It was in bright yellow color and looked like a gold coin?
It could also be copper plated.
Gu Nianzhi was about to ask when He Chengjian strode back and looked around the ground near the door. He looked up and saw Huo Shaoheng standing nearby, with opened palm and there was a round coin in his palm. It was a gold coin.
He Chengjian’s face darkened, he suddenly reached out and snatched the round golden coin from Huo Shaoheng’s palm. “Thank you.”
He said stiffly and turned to leave.
Xie Qingying looked at Huo Shaoheng curiously, then chased after He Chengjian and the others.
Her live audiences were still waiting for her to take them to see the infrasound emission source.
Soon, only a few people were left in the ward. Other than Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng, there were also a few orderly soldiers from the He family who followed Gu Nianzhi.
He Zhichu was still unconscious, so He Chengjian would not let Gu Nianzhi move around freely.
Gu Nianzhi understood this as well. She treated these orderly soldiers as free bodyguards.
She walked slowly to the elevator as well and asked Huo Shaoheng softly, “Mr. Peter, is that General He’s coin? It looks yellow and very shiny, as if it’s rubbed frequently?”
Huo Shaoheng remembered that when he had hit Wen Shouyi’s arm with the steel ball, he had caught a glimpse of He Chengjian attacking from the corner of his eye.
He nodded. “It should be his. I saw him threw it out just now.”
Gu Nianzhi was even more curious. “Threw it out? is that the coin he threw? But since he threw it out. Why would he came back to look for it? Especially at such a critical time like this. Is It Worth It?”
Huo Shaoheng was deep in thought, his fingers rubbing a round gold coin in his trouser pocket.
He couldn’t take it out in front of Gu Nianzhi, it would be exposed the moment he took it out.
Because the round gold coin in his trouser pocket was found in Gu Nianzhi’s pocket back then.
She had came to their world when she was 12 years old. Other than the clothes she was wearing, there was only a small backpack on her back and the doll in her hand.
There was a photo in the small backpack with Gu Nianzhi’s name and birthday written on it. There was also a very advanced engine blueprint in the backpack.
Other than that, there was also a round gold coin in her pocket.
The gold coin was crafted very delicately. On the front was a heart made up of two hands, and on the back was a set of numbers “1314.”.
This set of numbers was held in the middle by a string of raised English fancy fonts at the bottom by the edge.
This string of English fancy fonts had been deciphered many times, but the alphabet experts on the other side were still puzzled.
Huo Shaoheng’s finger swiped across the raised English fancy fonts.
Without even looking, he knew that the string of English fancy fonts on the left was “Happy, Calm, Justice.” and the string on the right was “Queen, Super, Wonder.”.
Huo Shaoheng’s heart skipped a beat. He turned to ask one of the orderly soldier who was following them, “Does that coin belonged to General He? Does it have any special meaning?”
The orderly soldier whom also saw He Chengjian came back personally to look for the coin. He smiled and said, “Everyone knows. Mr. Peter, don’t you know?”
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
He smiled without batting an eyelid. “I just came to your country this year, so I don’t know much.”
Gu Nianzhi was also very interested, so she quickly asked the orderly soldier, “So you do know? Little brother, come on, don’t hide it, tell us quickly!”
The orderly soldier was indeed young, but not so young either. He was already in his twenties, and his face turned red from being called “Little brother” by Gu Nianzhi.
He scratched his head awkwardly and said embarrassingly, “That was the gold coin that the Chief made specially for the Chief’s wife. We all knew about it. It was made on the year when they got married, and only eleven of them were made.”
Gu Nianzhi:was puzzled.
She asked incredulously, “The wedding souvenir was actually made of gold coin? Is it real gold coins? Or is it just commemorative coins?”
“Of course it’s a circulating currency made by the National Mint. How could our Chief use commemorative coins to fool his wife?” The orderly soldier quickly spoke out for He Chengjian,” Just that it was not circulating in public. It had all been collected by the Chief and given to his wife as a betrothal gift.”
