Chapter 1655 - Won’t Give Up No Matter What

He Zhichu looked at the small transparent plastic bag that Gu Nianzhi had taken out and was very shocked. “This is hair? Whose hair? ... Luo Piaopiao’s hair?!”

Gu Nianzhi nodded and put the small plastic bag away. She sighed and said, “What a pity. Luo Piaopiao was instantly turned into ashes by that explosive. My hair here will never be able to be taken out again.”

He Zhichu was also a law student, so he immediately understood what she meant.

His heart skipped a beat and he walked over to hold Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder. He looked down at her and said softly, “Are you suspecting her background?”

The purpose of taking her hair was usually to verify the DNA. Of course, the purpose of verifying the DNA was to verify the blood relationship between the biological parents.

Gu Nianzhi grunted in agreement and said worriedly, “Young Master He, you have to keep this a secret. If the Qin and Luo families find out that I have this, they will definitely come up with a lot of crazy ideas. I’ll be in a lot of trouble.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.” He Zhichu hesitated but then he said, “But if you want to test Luo Piaopiao’s DNA, you have to avoid the Qin family, especially the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital and the laboratories they funded.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

She frowned. “The Qin family funded a lot of laboratories in addition to the private hospital?”

“Yes, they set up a lot of research funds. All the universities’ laboratories can apply, but they have the rights to the results of the experiments.” He Zhichu also frowned. “The benefits involved are too big, and we can’t stop them.”

Of course, it was difficult to stop benefits related to money.

Cutting off someone’s income was like killing their parents. They might fight to the death.

“Can’t we find a hospital or laboratory that has nothing to do with the Qin family to verify the DNA?” Gu Nianzhi had an idea and said, “Young Master He, did you ask the Qin family to submit the name list of the laboratories they funded?”

“I don’t have the name list at the moment, but the relevant departments should have it. Besides, a hospital or laboratory that isn’t sponsored by the Qin family definitely exists, but the problem is, for the time being, you won’t know which one isn’t sponsored by the Qin family.” He Zhichu thought for a moment and said, “If you trust me, I can take it to the Military Laboratory for you to test. I can promise you that the Qin family won’t be able to access the military laboratory.”

Gu Nianzhi hesitated and said, “... if Qin Yaoguang hadn’t married your father and had not worked with the military, I would have believed you. But now, do you dare to make a guarantee?”

With the Qin family’s strength and the experience of working with the military in Qin Yaoguang’s lab over the years, Gu Nianzhi doubted whether or not the Qin family actually could access the military.

He Zhichu had been away for the past few years in search of Gu Nianzhi, so he couldn’t be sure about this.

“... you have a point.” He Zhichu’s face darkened. “The military is going to have to clean up the ‘two-faced people’.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled. “Then you go ahead and do your thing. I’ll think of something. Maybe we can get Mr. Peter to get the Soviet lab to help test it.”

The KGB had vouched for Gu Nianzhi, so she was more confident that they wouldn’t divulge the secret.

He Zhichu thought this was a good idea and agreed. “Sure, do you want me to talk to Mr. Peter?”

“No need. He owes me a life. If I ask him to help him, he won’t refuse.” Gu Nianzhi said with a half-hearted smile, and her expression was just right.

He Zhichu didn’t suspect anything. He only felt that Gu Nianzhi’s attitude towards Ace of the Far East, Peter, had not changed at all. He thought that he was overthinking that she was biased towards Peter, but she wasn’t.

“Alright then, you handle it yourself.” He Zhichu said and led her out. “So you’ll stay here for the next few days?”

“No need. I want to go home and have some peace and quiet.” Gu Nianzhi held the small transparent plastic bag tightly and couldn’t wait to go back and share what had happened today with Lu Jin.

Lu Jin would definitely have to do the DNA test. She had only used the Ace of the Far East as a cover to hide it from He Zhichu.

She didn’t want Lu Jin’s presence to be noticed by He Zhichu.

He Zhichu was also a very perceptive person. He was also very familiar with Lu Jin’s previous identity, Gu Xiangwen. Gu Nianzhi couldn’t imagine what would happen if he realized Lu Jin’s true identity.

Huo Shaoheng was already waiting at the door when they came out of He Zhichu’s suite.

He leaned against the wall opposite the bedroom with his hands in his trouser pockets. He stretched out his long legs leisurely. His gaze was deep and resolute as he stared steadily in the direction they had come from.

Gu Nianzhi only felt that his gaze was burning, like an impenetrable net, and was enveloping her in the middle.

He Zhichu said aloofly, “Why isn’t Mr. Peter waiting in Nianzhi’s living room?”

“I’m worried,” Huo Shaoheng said bluntly, not beating around the bush at all.

He Zhichu sneered and turned to walk towards the end of the corridor. He said coldly, “Mr. Peter, enough is enough. Nianzhi won’t like you like this. She loves freedom the most and hates being pestered.”

“Eh? Young Master He is imparting to me the experience of pursuing Miss Gu? I’m enlightened.” Huo Shaoheng cupped his hands at him, then he gave a Huaxia salute. “But we Russians will pursue a person to the end if we like her. We won’t give up no matter what.”

Gu Nianzhi wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this. She chuckled and said, “Mr. Peter, you must be joking. I’m going back first. Are you going or are you going to stay here and talk to Young Master He?”

“Why should I stay here and talk to Young Master He?” Huo Shaoheng looked displeased. He flicked his sleeves and walked away first. He said stiffly, “I’m going back to the embassy as well.”

The Soviet Union had a general consulate in C City, so of course they had an embassy in the imperial capital.

Huo Shaoheng was now the Deputy Chief Counsel of the Soviet consulate in C City. He could stay in the imperial capital, but if something happened, he had to go back to C City.

However, Gu Nianzhi couldn’t go back to C City with him right now, so she didn’t mention leaving.

Gu Nianzhi glanced at him and thought to herself that she should give him full marks for his temper, because he was completely different from Huo Shaoheng over there...

She hurriedly nodded at He Zhichu. “Young Master He, I’ll be leaving then. I’ll contact you if I hear anything.”

She gestured to He Zhichu to make a call.

He Zhichu said, “I’ll walk you out.”

They walked out of the He family’s mansion, and He Zhichu found a car to take them back.

After Gu Nianzhi got into the car, Huo Shaoheng was still as aloof as ever. He raised his chin and said, “My car is still in the underground parking lot of the revolving restaurant. Can I go get it now?”

He Zhichu took out his phone and looked at the message. He shook his head and said, “Not at the moment. The road there is still closed, and the building is currently closed.”

“What about the fire? Is it out?” Gu Nianzhi stuck her head out of the car and asked worriedly.

She hoped that the building could still be saved.

He Zhichu said, “It’s out, but the structure of the building needs to be checked by experts before anyone can enter. The top floor will also take some time to be repaired.”

Gu Nianzhi was relieved. “It’s good that there are no more casualties.”

“This time, five people from the Qin family died and four were injured. Old Master Qin is still in the hospital, heavily injured and unconscious.” He Zhichu told Gu Nianzhi the news he had just received. “I have to go to the hospital.”

Gu Nianzhi was surprised. “You’re going to see Old Master Qin?”

“... No. The Qin family used Old Master Qin’s serious injuries as an excuse to request for Qin Yaoguang to come out and operate on Old Master Qin.” He Zhichu’s expression was a little abnormal.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Nianzhi’s heart sank. “Can Qin Yaoguang still operate with her hands?”

Back then, because Qin Yaoguang had insisted on performing the memory-stripping surgery on Gu Nianzhi, Gu Nianzhi had cut her wrist with a fruit knife.

For surgeons, hands were very important.

Logically speaking, with Qin Yaoguang’s injuries, it was impossible for her to perform any more sophisticated brain surgery.

He Zhichu frowned and said, “The Qin family insisted since Qin Yaoguang was Grandfather Qin’s only daughter and a world-famous brain surgeon. Even if she didn’t perform the surgery herself, they would only be relieved if she was there to watch.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

“But Qin Yaoguang is a prisoner.” Gu Nianzhi was indignant, but she did not vehemently object.

After all, human lives were at stake, and such things weren’t unheard of.

Even a death row prisoner would give him a chance when faced with such a situation.

“... Grandfather Qin’s status is different.” He Zhichu sighed and said, “He’s a very famous entrepreneur and philanthropist. Weibo is already trending with the hashtag ‘recover soon’. In just a short while, the number of comments has already approached one million.”

This number far surpassed traffic of influencers on the web.

This was the so-called “voice of the people”, and the government couldn’t turn a blind eye to it.

Furthermore, Qin Yaoguang was also very famous. She had been a doctor for so many years and had saved many patients.

In addition, her case hadn’t actually been finalized, which meant that she hadn’t been officially convicted yet. At most, she was still a criminal suspect.

Gu Nianzhi sat back down weakly and whispered, “Then you have to be careful, Young Master He. If she escapes...”

“If the military and cabinet agree to let her go to the hospital to perform surgery on Grandfather Qin, I will personally escort her.”
