Chapter 1692 - The Path You Want to Take

He Zhichu caught a glimpse of his father’s gaze and quickly rubbed his temples. “I’m a little tired. Can I go home first?”

“Yes, yes, of course.” He Chengjian’s attention immediately shifted to He Zhichu. He asked nervously, “What’s wrong? Do you want me to get another doctor to check on you?”

Qin Yaoguang immediately became excited, “I told you that no matter how smart Gu Nianzhi is, she can’t be that smart where she can perform surgery just by reading a book... This is a technical job, after all. We came from medical school, so how long will it takes for us to stand by the operating table...”

She chattered non-stop, wanting to get closer to He Zhichu to examine him.

He Zhichu reached out his arm to block her. He said word by word, “I suffered from a headache when I heard you speak. As long as you shut up, I’ll be as lively as a tiger in no time.”

Qin Yaoguang was so embarrassed that her face was flushed red. However, when she looked at He Chengjian who did not say a word and only looked at his son. Qin Yaoguang held back her anger and moved aside, “Then, young master He, please head back and rest. Today is New Year’s Eve. I wish young master He and General He, a good Spring Festival in advance.”

He Chengjian did not even lift his eyelids. He hummed and said, “You can head back first. The investigation of the infrasound weapon will not be stopped because of the new year. You can wait for it.”

“General He, this thing has nothing to do with us. We were also framed!” Qin Yaoguang said nervously, “My head still hurts now, I was also hurt by the infrasound weapon!”

He Chengjian laughed and did not look at her. He said with a profound meaning: “Yes, that’s why we need to investigate. The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real. Your Qin Corporation has a big business. It is not easy to find someone who dares to frame your group.”

Just as Qin Yaoguang was about to nod and agree, she understood He Chengjian’s meaning. It seemed that he had began to doubt them. Her heart tightened and she said quickly: “I believe General He will definitely return us our innocence!”

Wen Shouyi quietly pulled her hand and signaled her to stop talking.

At this time, there will be more mistakes if continued.

Qin Yaoguang shut her mouth in embarrassment and went downstairs with He Chengjian’s orderly.

The prison van that was used to transport prisoners was already waiting for her downstairs.

Qin Yaoguang’s face instantly turned pale when she saw the van.

The detention center was very far from the main hospital here. It was impossible to transfer the van of the detention center just like that. They had to be prepared a few hours in advance.

This thought of it was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.

Just now, she was still feeling smug. She felt that He Chengjian still had a place for her in his heart..

This detention center’s van that aimed to escort prisoners had directly crushed all of her flukes and hopes.

During the dawn of the New Year’s Eve, in the Imperial City, where the cold wind pierced to the bone. However, what was colder than the severe cold of the New Year’s Eve was the despair in her heart that had completely shattered her hopes.

Qin Yaoguang’s face was stiff as she stood stiffly in front of the hospital building.

It was not until He Chengjian’s orderly pushed her back with the tip of his gun and said coldly,”... Get in.”

Wen Shouyi also had a face full of surprise. But deep inside, she had already thought it through.

He Chengjian will not care about the consequences. He had decided to pin the blame of He Zhichu’s injury on them, while making a move on the entire Qin’s Private Hospital Corporation.

Wen Shouyi carefully helped Qin Yaoguang to get up into the detention center’s van. She then lifted her feet and was about to follow into it.

However, Qin Yaoguang pushed her down and said stiffly, “What does it have to do with you? Get down.”

“Aunt Qin, today is the New Year’s Eve. Let me accompany you,” Wen Shouyi pleaded softly.

Qin Yaoguang shook her head and said softly, “I am not celebrating the New Year at the detention center, so don’t you even think about celebrating the New Year. With such big incident happening, why don’t you try to think of a solution outside instead? What’s the point of you going in with me?”

This had been a reminder to Wen Shouyi.

Wen Shouyi thought for a moment and nodded awkwardly, “Alright then, Aunt Qin. But I’ve only been in office for a few days, so I’m still confused about such a big incident. But don’t worry, Aunt Qin. I’ll have a meeting with the management and the board of directors to try to minimize the losses.”

“I am uncertain about business matters. It will be all up to you.” Qin Yaoguang looked at her and touched her face with her hand. “Go ahead. Do remember to look for my father if you need anything. He’s full of praise for you...”

Wen Shouyi’s gaze moved slightly. “I understand. Take care, Aunt Qin.”

She stood by the sidewalk in front of the hospital building and waved gently at the departing prison van as if she was sending off her family and friends.

When the prison van was out of sight, Wen Shouyi turned around to look at the hospital building.

In the lobby on the first floor of the building, the elevator door opened just in time.

He Chengjian strode out. Behind him was Xie Qingying pushing He Zhichu’s wheelchair. He Shengjian and He Zhichu’s orderly then escorted them out.

Wen Shouyi stood alone at the bottom of the stairs in front of the building, watching them walk down the stairs.

As he passed by her, He Chengjian said plainly, “Didn’t director Wen go with director Qin?”

“General He, I have no criminal record. I am a law-abiding citizen and holds a lawyer’s license. Why should I go to the detention center with Dean Qin?” Wen Shouyi refused to stand on ceremony with He Chengjian.

She realized that He Chengjian could no longer be pleased, therefore she will not waste any more effort.

“Is that so? As expected of Dean Wen’s background as a barrister. It seems like to convict you in court would be difficult. “He Chengjian gave her a thumbs up. It was unknown whether he was praising her or belittling her.

Wen Shouyi’s eyes darkened a little as she said with a smile: “Thank you for your praise, General He. I will protect my legitimate rights and interests. I will also protect the legitimate rights and interests of the Qin Corporation.”

“Yes, in this position, Dean Wen is indeed a good dean.” As He Chengjian spoke, he had already passed by her and got into his bulletproof car.

Soon, He Zhichu also stood up from his wheelchair and got into He Chengjian’s bulletproof car.

Xie Qingying did not get into the car. She handed the wheelchair to He Zhichu’s orderly. She bent down and waved at He Zhichu who was in the car. She smiled and said, “Young master He, you should get more rest. I’ll head home first. We’ll contact each other after the New Year.”

He Zhichu nodded and said coldly, “Have my orderly send you back. Don’t go around during the New Year. If you wish to head out, you can give me a call. I’ll send someone to escort you.”

He Zhichu’s arrangement was purely for safety reasons.

The Qin family’s power was unexpectedly great.

Having the thought about the Soviet sniper outside the hospital building, He Zhichu did not dare to let his guard down at all.

However, Xie Qingying did not think that much. She was only very surprised at He Zhichu’s consideration and thoughtfulness, but her heart felt extremely comforted.

This feeling of being cared for and taken care of by her beloved instantly converged into a warm current that flowed in her heart.

The weather was so cold, while she didn’t wear a coat, but her back felt so hot that she almost started sweating.

Her heart was pounding, and her eardrums were bulging. She was so happy that she couldn’t hide it, as her happiness was about to fly out from the bottom of her heart.

Wen Shouyi looked coldly at Xie Qingying, whose cheeks were blushed red and her eyes like the autumn waters. She looked like she was in love, and she suddenly felt disgusted by it.

Why...

Why wasn’t it her?

Hadn’t she done what Xie Qingying had done too?

Even if she couldn’t be compared to Gu Nianzhi, how could she not be compared to Xie Qingying? !

Wen Shouyi subconsciously touched her face with her hand.

Her face was as cold as ice. Of course, it wasn’t as rosy and delicate as Xie Qingying’s.

This was the power of love.

Although the intelligence of a woman in love would reduce, but her beauty would increase.

This was determined by an irreversible natural law.

He Chengjian also stuck his head out and said to Xie Qingying, “Qingying, don’t go out during the New Year. Have a good New Year at home. I will send someone to strengthen the security around your house.”

“Thank you, young master He. Thank you, General He.” Xie Qingying’s voice was trembling as she replied

Happiness came too quickly. She could hardly believe that it was all real.

However, today was New Year’s Eve. She could just take it as real and have a good New Year.

Xie Qingying was sent to another car by He Chengjian’s orderly. She waved at them before being sent away by the special car.

He Chengjian’s bulletproof car started leaving at this time and it was drove towards the He’s residence.

Wen Shouyi was left alone by the side of the road, and no one cared about her whereabouts.

However, Wen Shouyi knew that there must be someone watching her from somewhere she couldn’t see.

She was also someone who had once received intelligence agent training. Although she wasn’t as professional as a real intelligence agent, she still knew the basics.

She stood by the side of the road for a while and called her secretary to drive her home.

..

Gu Nianzhi sat in Huo Shaoheng’s SUV and returned to Lu Jin and Lu Yuan’s apartment complex.

After getting out of the car park, Gu Nianzhi smiled at Huo Shaoheng and said, “Thank you, Mr. Peter. Today is New Year’s Eve, and it’s a traditional Chinese holiday. Therefore I will not allow you to stay.”

Huo Shaoheng grabbed her arm and pulled her to his side. He leaned over to her and said with a deep voice, “You want to run away after using? Lawyer Gu, you’ll destroy the bridge after crossing the river. But you never once ask if the bridge is willing to or not.”

Gu Nianzhi held back her laughter. She put a finger onto Huo Shaoheng’s chest and slowly pushed it away. She said calmly, “... Mr. Peter must be joking. How daring of me to use Mr. Peter as a bridge? Am I tired of living?”

“But I’m willing to be your bridge.”Huo Shaoheng held her finger to his chest and said with a smile, “As long as you won’t destroy me.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and looked up into his deep eyes. “Are you really willing to be my bridge?”

“Of course. I’m willing to be more than just a bridge. I’m willing to be a boat, a ropeway, and a pair of shoes.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and squinted. “Mr. Peter, do you always speak such words so fluently? How many girlfriends did you previously had for you to practice?”

“Do you still need to practice for this?” Huo Shaoheng held her hand. “Can I spend the Chinese New Year with you now?”

“I’ll think about it,” Gu Nianzhi said slyly. Neither she agreed, nor refused.

The two of them got into the elevator together.

No one spoke in the elevator.

However, when the elevator door opened, Gu Nianzhi felt her phone vibrated.

She took it out and saw that it was two messages from the “King of Drama”.

The King of Drama: [In the winding deep valley, I wade for the King; on the rocky high mountain, I cross for the King; when the road is long, I tread for the King. ]

The translation of this elegant sentence was: If you want to cross the deep valley, I will be your boat.

If you want to cross the high mountain, I will be your rope.

If you want to walk a long way, I will be your shoes.

Gu Nianzhi’s face flushed red from the implicit and bold expression.

The second text message was more simple, but it made her teared up instantly.

King of Drama: [ Nianzhi, I’ll lay a red carpet for you on the road you want to walk. In front of you, there’ll only be sunshine and flowers from now on. ]
