Chapter 1734 - My Cruel Blade

“Attack her in secret?” Gu Nianzhi repeated and asked doubtfully, “Is this the only way to deal with her?”

Where was the plank road, and what attack was that?

“According to historical records, Han Xin, the admiral of Liu Bang, confused Xiang Yu by repairing the plank road for 500 miles. In addition, he and Liu Bang led a large group of people around the vast water and entered Chen Cang. Using this as a basis, they achieved the final victory.”

He Zhichu smiled and sat down in front of the computer, “Of course, Wen Shouyi is more cunning than Xiang Yu, so can you confuse her and surprise her in unexpected places without being sensed by her? We must win this time.”

Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood. She clenched her fists and said excitedly, “I get it! It’s just that I have to be more cautious, smarter, more meticulous, and more perfect than her! That’s how I can make her have no chance! There’s no way she could escape this time.”

He Zhichu curled his lips and turned on his computer. “That’s easy for you to say, but it’s not easy to do. I think you should take it one step at a time. I’ll keep an eye on Wen Shouyi for you first. I’ll call you when you’ve settled Qin Yaoguang’s lawsuit.”

Without hesitation, Gu Nianzhi nodded. She was so excited that she couldn’t fall asleep. “That’s great, professor he! My big knife is so thirsty!”

He Zhichu remained silent.

Gu Nianzhi covered her mouth and laughed like a sly little fox. “Young master he, you’re actually quite suitable to be a professor…”

He Zhichu entered his own permissions into the encryption system and said, “Then make your preparations. Tomorrow is the 16th day of the first lunar month… Oh no! It’s already past midnight. Today is the 16th day of the first lunar month.”

Gu Nianzhi yawned and whispered, “Then I’ll go to bed first. I should be able to receive Qin Yaoguang’s trial schedule from the court tomorrow. I have to make my preparations.”

“Okay, go to sleep now.” He Zhichu’s voice had always been cold and aloof, like he was above everyone else. However, when he spoke to Gu Nianzhi today, he was more gentle and gentle every time, like he was coaxing a child.

In fact, Gu Nianzhi was a sucker in this matter.

She was in a good mood and pulled the blanket aside to lie down. “Good night, Young Master He.”

He Zhichu could tell that Gu Nianzhi was in a good mood, and his mood miraculously improved.

He was in high spirits and worked until dawn. He suddenly realized why he was so energetic and couldn’t help frowning.

He could not do this anymore.

He Zhichu rubbed his temples and got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.

At that moment, his phone rang again.

It was only seven in the morning. Who would call so early?

He Zhichu took the phone and glanced at it. When he saw that it was Xie Qingying, he was silent for a moment before he answered the call.

“Morning, Qingying.” He Zhichu greeted her with a faint smile.

Xie Qingying originally had a stomach full of grievances and anger. However, when she heard his simple greeting, she suddenly realized that all the grievances and unwillingness in her family were like snowmen under the sun, melting bit by bit.

Xie qingying could not help but smile and say, “Good Morning. I didn’t disturb you, did I?”

He Zhichu leaned against the windowsill and lit a cigarette for himself, he said leisurely, “No, I just finished my work. Qingying, you don’t have to be so polite. During the New Year, you’ve accompanied me to meet so many guests. Is there a need to be so distant?”

In response, Xie Qingying blushed slightly, but her heart was very calm.

She said in a low voice, “I know that we’ve spent most of the year together. I’m very happy, but I’m also very scared… Young Master He, do you understand what I mean?”

He Zhichu sighed. “I understand. Qingying, you’re a generous and kind woman. You don’t have to be as petty as others. You don’t have to hide what you’re thinking in your heart and pretend to be someone else.”

When Xie Qingying heard He Zhichu’s words, she seemed to have a hidden meaning. However, she couldn’t figure out who he was talking about, so she was even more embarrassed to ask him. She could only utter softly, “I heard that you sent people to arrest Wen Shouyi?”

Upon hearing that, He zhichu said lightly, “To be precise, the court issued the arrest warrant. We’re just assisting the Court.”

Xie Qingying then said with a sigh, “Young master he, do you know why Wen Shouyi did this?”

He Zhichu shook his head. “I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.”

He didn’t care about her motive for doing this. He only cared about how to bring her to justice.

“Young master he, you’re really loyal…” Xie qingying responded with a half-smile. “Actually, don’t you know that Wen Shouyi has feelings for you?”

He Zhichu was speechless.

“She has feelings for me?” He Zhichu’s brows furrowed. “How did you know? Did she tell you herself?”

“It’s not really her own words, but when I said it, she didn’t object.”Xie Qingying hooked her phone with her hand and sat on her bed, she asked uneasily, “Young master he, I know that after Nianzhi left, Wen Shouyi took Nianzhi’s place and stayed by your side. If you’re telling the truth, do you really not have feelings for Wen Shouyi?”

Xie Qingying knew that she should have pretended not to know about this, but she chose not to remin He Zhichu that there was a woman who had a crush on him.

The result was that it was a thankless task.

However, she was like a possessed woman. She especially wanted to know if He Zhichu had compassion for the women who had a crush on him. She also wanted to prove whether He Zhichu’s feelings for her were friendship, family, or true love.

Therefore, she chose to lay everything out in front of He Zhichu. She wanted to observe how he made his choice and determine how sincere his feelings for her were.

He Zhichu’s face darkened. “Qingying, did I give you an illusion, or did Wen Shouyi give you an illusion? Why do you think I have feelings for Wen Shouyi?”

“Really?” Xie Qingying was surprised and delighted. “Young master he, as long as you say it, I will always believe you.”

“It never happened in the first place.” He Zhichu’s head hurt. “Wen Shouyi didn’t replace Nianzhi when she was in my house for a few years. Nianzhi’s position is irreplaceable. If someone says that again in the future, you can use this sentence to return the favor.”

As Xie Qingying heard him, the smile on her face faded.

Was Gu Nianzhi’s position irreplaceable?

Her heart ached again. “Young Master He, Nianzhi has always been the number one in your heart, right?”

He Zhichu was bewildered.

It was only then that he understood what Xie Qingying meant. The person she cared about was actually Gu Nianzhi, right?

He Zhichu’s head hurt even more.

He and Gu Nianzhi had never started at all, and Gu Nianzhi had no romantic feelings for him. Xie Qingying’s question was even more outrageous than the one about Wen Shouyi.

He Zhichu’s voice turned cold. “Qingying, I was just saying that I admire your magnanimous and kind character, but why are you beating around the Bush?”

At the moment, Xie Qingying was at a loss for words.

Because she cared too much about him, she had planned every step carefully.

Because she wanted him to fall in love with her too much, she kept testing his bottom line.

She didn’t want to lose him, but she wanted him to fall in love with her more.

If she did not have love, she thought, she would still give up on this relationship.

She had her own pride. She would not be a backup in someone else’s relationship, even if that person was her idol.

“Young master he, it’s my fault. I was too worried about gains and losses,” Xie Qingying said with difficulty. “But I’m a woman, and I love you. That’s why I’m so uncertain. In a relationship, who is 100% sure of the other person’s feelings?”

Finally, He Zhichu understood. He rubbed his forehead and said plainly, “Although Nianzhi is young, she has never cared about these things and has never tested me.”

Xie Qingying could not take it anymore. She shouted at her phone, “That’s because she doesn’t love you!”

She was flustered and hung up immediately. She turned off her phone and threw it into the bottom drawer of the bedside table to hide.

She covered her face with the blanket and thought to herself, “I’m really done for. I can’t believe I said this in front of He Zhichu…”

He Zhichu, however, seemed to have been enlightened. He understood Gu Nianzhi’s attitude in front of him.

Was that a lack of love?

He Zhichu closed his eyes and held the mouse tightly in his hand. Finally, with a bang, he crushed the mouse.

…

Gu Nianzhi was so excited last night that she was sleepy and woke up late in the morning.

Lu Jin checked the security cameras several times to make sure that no one else had come to their floor. He ran to Gu Nianzhi’s apartment and knocked twice. He greeted her, then entered the password and opened the door.

“Nianzhi? Why aren’t You up yet?” Lu Jin knocked on her bedroom door. “There’s a letter from the court.”

Gu Nianzhi did not want to move, but when she heard that it was a letter from the court, she immediately pushed the blanket away and got out of bed. She pulled the door open. “Where’s the letter from the Court?”

As Lu Jin handed the letter to her, she casually said, “The DNA sequence tests for Wen Dayou and Liang Meili have all been completed. When are you going to my lab? I’ll show you something interesting.”
