Chapter 1996 - Good Intentions are rewarded (second update)
Hello, Mr. Major General
President Chen saw that General Xiao had gone with him and knew that she could not stop him. She could only say to Chen lie, âThen letâs go find Professor Lu. You have to help your cousin!â
Chen Lie, on the other hand, felt that since Xiao Ye had suffered such a serious injury, as a mother, President Chenâs heart ached for her daughter. It was not a big deal to say something sour.
Gu Nianzhi was a reasonable person and would not take it to heart.
Professor Lu was angry, probably because a person of his level had never encountered such a mess in terms of interpersonal relationships.
Even Chen Lie himself knew that no matter if it was his boss, subordinates, or relatives or friends, everyone was polite to him. No one would offend him.
Of course, his temper was rising. Apart from Huo Shaoheng, he didnât buy anyone elseâs words.
Now, of course, there was Lu Jin.
Even if this person beat him up three times a day, he wouldnât complain, let alone get angry at him. As long as he could stay by Lu Jinâs side and learn some skills and knowledge.
He drove President Chen to the address song Jinning had given him.
When they were downstairs, he called Gu Nianzhi first to prepare her.
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows when she received the call. She went to Lu Jinâs room and knocked on the door. âDad, President Chen is here. She came with Chen Lie.â
Lu Jin was working on the surgery plan on his computer, he didnât even look back when he heard this. âSo what if sheâs here? Do We have to go down and welcome her? Tell them to wait. I havenât finished the surgery plan yet. I donât want to give up Halfway.â
Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile. She knew that Lu Jin was stubborn but soft-hearted.
He had done everything he needed to do, but his words were so harsh that the people he helped couldnât thank him even if they wanted to.
So how else could he have been diagnosed with a severe case of âInterpersonal disorderâ?
He was the kind of person in life who couldnât speak and did the most things but still had trouble getting anything done.
But now that she was here, she wouldnât let Lu Jin fall into that situation.
Gu Nianzhi gently closed Lu Jinâs door and waited in the living room for a few minutes before she heard the doorbell ring.
Because of Chen Lie, it was easy for President Chen to enter.
Otherwise, she would have been stopped at the entrance of the residential area.
Gu Nianzhi opened the door and smiled at Chen Lie, nodding. âBrother Chen is here. Please come in.â
President Chen felt uncomfortable when she saw that Gu Nianzhi was ignoring her like she didnât know her. But now that she was here to beg, she had no choice but to lower her head and say awkwardly, âMiss Gu, Iâm sorry about last night. It was me...â
Gu Nianzhi interrupted her with a smile. âPresident Chen, right? Please come in as well.â
She brought President Chen and Chen Lie into the living room. Gu Nianzhi brought them a cup of tea and a glass of water and placed them in front of them.
Chen lie was used to drinking water. If it was President Chen, a cup of tea at this age wouldnât be wrong.
President Chen sat next to Chen Lie and moved uneasily. She gave Chen lie a gentle kick.
Chen lie understood, he smiled and put in a good word for him. âNianzhi, it was really President Chenâs fault last night. Sheâs my aunt. Sheâs usually very strict and doesnât know how to speak well. Itâs our fault for offending uncle Lu. My aunt came here to apologize.â
Gu Nianzhi saw that Chen Lie had followed them and understood.
It was only now that the Xiao family truly believed that Lu Jin was better than Chen Lie.
This was because Chen Lie, the big fan of Lu Jin, would definitely spare no effort to benefit from Lu Jinâs âMiracleâeverywhere he went.
Ever since Chen Lie had rescued the vegetative patient who had been in a hospital bed for six years, Chen Lie had admired Lu Jin so much that he wanted to be his assistant.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng did not stop him.
Because Lu Jin had the ability, there was no need for them to hide it.
Although President Chen was not worried, when she thought of her daughter, who had been depressed ever since she had woken up, her heart softened and she lowered her stance, she smiled apologetically at Gu Nianzhi and said, âMiss Gu, my attitude was indeed bad yesterday. Itâs all my fault for provoking Miss Gu. âI came here today to apologize to you and professor Lu. âI hope you can take into consideration that our Xiao Ye is almost paralyzed and not hold it against me.â
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips, thinking to herself that President Chenâs words were still laced with sarcasm at this point in time.
The apology was also a cover for Xiao Yeâs injury.
Perhaps if Lu Jin had not been able to treat her injuries, President Chenâs apology would never have come out.
However, this was only natural.
This was how society was. Gu Nianzhi could understand, but she did not want to follow the crowd.
She nodded slightly and said, âPresident Chen, thereâs no need to apologize to me. Miss Xiao Ye has indeed protected me with her life. Thereâs nothing wrong with that. I remember what Miss Xiao Ye has done for me and will never forget it.â
This was what President Chen had been thinking. She quickly nodded and said to Gu Nianzhi as if she had found a confidant, âMiss Gu, thatâs Fair!â
âBut our Xiao Ye, who is a one-track-minded person, and her equally one-track-minded father, has already taken the medal and Certificate to the organization to admit her mistake!â
âShe said that she didnât protect miss gu well, that it was a mission failure, and that it was Miss Gu who protected her... but she was really shot ten times!â
President Chen started to cry as she spoke.
She felt wronged, sad, and a little unwilling to admit defeat.
Gu Nianzhi was shocked.â... She took the medal and Certificate to apologize to the organization? ! Whatâs going on? !â
She looked at Chen Lie, hoping that he would give a reasonable explanation.
President Chen was crying now, probably because he wasnât in the mood to talk to her.
Chen lie smiled bitterly. âThat was just now. Xiao Ye said that she didnât protect you well, but she actually failed the mission. She doesnât deserve those honors...â
Gu Nianzhi stood up from the sofa and walked around the living room with her arms crossed. She said excitedly, âHow could sister Xiao Ye do this?â
âEven if she protected me because of the militaryâs mission, as the target of protection, how could I take sister Xiao Yeâs protection for granted? !â
âAt a critical moment of life and death, using her own life to protect me like sister Xiao Ye was enough to match any honor the military gave her!â
âNo, I have to go to the military too. Who is sister Xiao Ye going to apologize to? I want to speak up. I Canât let Xiao Ye get hurt for nothing!â
Gu Nianzhi was anxious. She was worried that Xiao Ye would cause a misunderstanding between the military and the organization.
She knew that in Xiao Yeâs industry, the most taboo thing was to hide things from the organization.
This was especially true when it came to field missions. It was a secret industry to begin with, and to hide it from the higher-ups of the organization was simply fatal.
Moreover, Gu Nianzhi did not think that Xiao Ye was hiding anything.
Her kidnapping was also an undeserved disaster for Xiao Ye.
If it wasnât for the fact that the technology of the other world was too powerful, and with the level of protection Huo Shaoheng had given her, and with Xiao Yeâs skills, things would not have developed to this extent.
Xiao Ye still did not know what kind of enemy she had faced that day. It was unfair to her.
Gu Nianzhi stared at Chen Lie. âBrother Chen, take me to the military. I have something to say too.â
President Chen looked at Gu Nianzhi in disbelief. She couldnât believe her ears. âYou, you, you... You Donât blame our Xiao Ye Anymore?â
Gu Nianzhi sighed. âDonât say anything now. Take Me to sister Xiao Ye first. Iâll speak up for her. I have the most say in this matter.â
President Chen finally understood what she had done wrong.
She walked over and held Gu Nianzhiâs hand. She was already crying, but now she couldnât stop crying.
âMiss Gu, Iâm already tens of years old, but you donât understand. âI was indeed wrong in this matter. I was the one who took Xiao Ye down with me. I was the one with bad intentions. It was my fault. âIâve never admired anyone in my life. Even if your father could save Xiao Ye, I would be grateful to him, but I would never admire him
âOnly you can speak up for Xiao Ye. I know that nothing I say can make up for what Iâve done. However, thereâs something I havenât said. If youâre interested, we can discuss it in detail when youâre free.â
Gu Nianzhi nodded hurriedly. Her heart softened as she shook President Chenâs hand. âYouâre doing this for your daughter. I understand. Alright, letâs stop sister Xiao Ye first. Then we can talk about the surgery.â
âOkay.âPresident Chen wiped away her tears and followed Gu Nianzhi and Chen Lie out the door.
As Chen Lie drove, Gu Nianzhi and President Chen sat in the back seat of the car.
President Chen took out her phone and rummaged through it for a long time. Finally, she found a few messages she had received a year ago and read them with Gu Nianzhi.
She said, âSomeone reminded us at the time that if we want Xiao Ye to recover, we can look for major general Huo. He said he has special resources that can help Xiao Ye recover.â
Gu Nianzhi looked at the message from the âGood Samaritan.â.
â[ Good Samaritan ] : President Chen, your daughterâs injuries can be healed, as long as major general Huo is willing to help you. He has special resources that can help your daughter recover.â
President Chen continued, âI showed this message to Huo. You were missing at that time...â
âBut later, I received a few more messages. I didnât show the rest of the messages to anyone because the person who sent the message didnât want me to show it to anyone else.â
