Chapter 1691: Let Her Go

He Zhichu had no idea what Qin Yaoguang was talking about.

His brows creased imperceptibly, and his expression turned indifferent. He said coldly to Qin Yaoguang, “We haven’t seen each other for a few days, and director Qin is also mentally ill. Could it be that you want to use mental illness as an excuse? What ultrasonics weapon? What simulated ward? Have you switched to writing novels?”

Qin Yaoguang was excited, but when she heard He Zhichu’s words, she couldn’t breathe and almost choked to spit blood.

“Who’s mentally ill? ! Mr. He, how can you slander me?” Qin Yaoguang said unhappily and continued to size up He Zhichu.

Her face was rosy and natural, but her eyes were calm and cold. Her tall figure stood beside Gu Nianzhi, making Gu Nianzhi, who was tall, look slim and petite.

She had recovered so well that Qin Yaoguang’s eyes began to flicker.

Gu Nianzhi did not say a word. She looked quietly at Qin Yaoguang, and the familiar expression on her face made Qin Yaoguang’s heart skip a beat.

Her gaze involuntarily jumped between Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu, and her vision gradually blurred.

It was as if she could see the couple from decades ago, standing in the middle of the crowd to receive everyone’s blessings, while she could only hide amongst the crowd and watch them.

Qin Yaoguang’s felt a swirl of dizziness. She quickly clenched her fists and planted her nails deeply in her palms, utilizing the pain to calm herself down.

Wen Shouyi suddenly came to a realization. Could it be that Gu Nianzhi hadn’t said anything? !

Ha, what a kind b*tch who didn’t want anything in return.

Looking at the slightly embarrassed Xie Qingying, Wen Shouyi smiled and said softly, “Aunt Qin, don’t worry. Miss Gu hasn’t said anything yet. Well, she knows her own limits. Miss Xie is willing to risk her life for Mr. He’s injuries. She’s much better than someone who only knows how to talk.”

He Zhichu looked at his father, He Chengjian, and asked in confusion, “Dad, what ultrasonics weapon? And what’s with the simulated ward?”

He Chengjian’s gaze went past Gu Nianzhi swiftly and finally landed on Xie Qingying’s face. He said to He Zhichu with a pleasant expression, “It’s a long story. Let’s go back first and talk about it after New Year’s Eve dinner.”

“No.” He Zhichu objected firmly, “What’s with it that you can’t finish in three sentences? Tell me now.”

He Chengjian thought for a moment and said, “Here is the case. You suddenly fainted in the ward of the Qin’s private hospital. After our investigation, you were ambushed there with an ultrasonics weapon.”

He Zhichu now finally knew why he suddenly fainted.

“Ultrasonics weapon? This is not a small piece of equipment. I am sure I did not see that thing in the ward.” He Zhichu looked at Qin Yaoguang thoughtfully. “Could it be in the secret room?”

This was the only reasonable explanation.

Infrasound weapon was a sonic weapon. It could not be subdued by bricks and stones and could be transmitted through walls.

Therefore, even if it was placed in a sealed secret room, its effectiveness would not be affected.

He Chengjian nodded slowly. “It is the secret room. We found the secret room first before we found the infrasound weapons.”

“But the infrasound weapons attack indiscriminately. Could it be that Dean Qin was also affected? What about Old Master Qin? He was also in the ward at that time.” He Zhichu quickly recalled the situation then and locked his gaze on Qin Yaoguang.

He Chengjian chuckled. “Dean Qin and Old Master Qin are still fine. It’s good that they were not affected.”

He did not mention anything about Old Master Qin’s oxygen mask or Qin Yaoguang’s special surgical gown, so Qin Yaoguang did not know that this plan had been exposed.

In fact, she only knew about this plan when she was guiding Old Master Qin in his surgery.

When she heard it, she was shocked and praised it greatly.

They did not think that anyone in this world could decode the mystery behind this scheme.

Therefore, even the secret rooms on both sides of the ward were to be discovered, even if the infrasonic emissions were to be found, they were still planning to insist that they did not know about it beforehand.

He Zhichu looked at He Chengjian who upheld a foxy expression. He pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly and forced a smile.

He could tell that He Chengjian had hidden a lot of things probably because it was not appropriate for him to go into details under such circumstances.

He Zhichu did not continue with the topic. Instead, he asked about Xie Qingying, “Then why did you say that Qingying was attacked by an infrasound weapon for twenty-four hours?”

“Isn’t that simple?”Qin Yaoguang crossed her arms and pouted at Xie Qingying. “To save Mr. He, we must first test out the treatment method. We need someone to go into the simulation ward and go through the same infrasound weapon attack.”

“Xie Qingying and our Shouyi have been in that simulation ward for 24 hours, suffering a lot.” Qin Yaoguang held Wen Shouyi’s hand sympathetically.

Wen Shouyi smiled gently and said, “I’m fine. It’s my duty. Miss Xie is an outsider, but she took the initiative to go through the infrasound weapon attack. That should be the most amazing thing.”

He Zhichu finally understood. His father must have been testing the remedy on people alive to make sure treatment was effective.

Again, in order to save his own life, he had to appraise with someone else’s life.

He Zhichu felt a complicated sense of powerlessness.

However, he slowly let go of Gu Nianzhi’s hand and unnoticeably slid his hands in the pockets of his hospital gown.

He Zhichu had just let go of Gu Nianzhi’s hand when Huo Shaoheng, who had been watching coldly from the side, walked up quickly and wrapped his arm around Gu Nianzhi’s shoulders. He looked up at He Chengjian and said coldly, “General He, since Mr. He is awake, can we go back now?”

Gu Nianzhi also wanted to leave this place. New Year was coming soon, and she didn’t want Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi to ruin her mood for it.

“General He, Mr. He is apparently safe and sound. I have to go back too.”Gu Nianzhi said with a smile.

“It’s already New Year’s Eve today, don’t you want to leave after celebrating New Year?” He Chengjian called out gently. “The house will be very lively today.”

“There’s no need.” Huo Shaoheng answered on Gu Nianzhi’s behalf. He glanced at Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi scornfully and said, “Since you can keep the two of them for New Year, we won’t be joining the crowd. It’ll make me sick to my stomach.”

With that, he took Gu Nianzhi’s hand and strode towards the elevator.

Gu Nianzhi was elated to hear this and anxious to jump up and wrap her arms around Huo Shaoheng’s neck in order to kiss him on the cheek, showing her joy.

Qin Yaoguang watched the two of them leave coldly and sneered.

He Chengjian was not totally apathetic towards her. She could feel it.

After so many years of bitter love, he finally had her in his heart.

..

He Zhichu felt lost, but he tried his best to control himself and not look in the direction where Gu Nianzhi had left.

He nodded at Xie Qingying. “Thank you, Qingying. You were also attacked by infrasound. How are you feeling? Is your health affected? I’ll find a doctor to visit you at your house everyday.”

He Zhichu said with great concern, trying his best to focus his attention on Xie Qingying.

Xie Qingying felt the change in He Zhichu’s attitude, and her heart felt warmed. Although she was still a little unwell, especially with a dizzy head and lethargy. But with He Zhichu’s words, she was willing to go through another round of infrasound weapon attack for twenty-four hours.

She shook her head with a smile and said casually, “It’s fine. I’m recovering very well.”

After a pause, she said, “Mr. He, this event was the result of my own decision. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t think too much.”

He Zhichu understood what Xie Qingying meant.

They had known each other since they were young. He Zhichu had some understanding of Xie Qingying’s character and personality.

People like them did not lack anything, so their requirements for relationships were purer.

She did not want his emotions to be mixed with other things.

He Zhichu’s almond-shaped eyes flashed with a hint of understanding. “Yes, I know.”

Xie Qingying’s eyes lit up.

He Zhichu understood what she meant!

Although the two of them did not say it explicitly, but this feeling of mutual understanding should be very close to telepathy.

Xie Qingying suddenly felt very confident about her emotions.

She smiled and said, “Actually, I didn’t do anything. I just stayed in a ward for 24 hours. The one who really contributed was Miss Gu. She was the one who suggested the treatment, and she personally performed the surgery on you and I. In fact, she did very well.”

Xie Qingying looked at Qin Yaoguang and continued, “Actually, Miss Gu didn’t take credit for others’ work.”

Qin Yaoguang did not expect Gu Nianzhi to not say anything either. She was both embarrassed and angry. She clutched her chest and held Wen Shouyi’s hand tightly, almost turning her wrist purple.

Wen Shouyi smiled mockingly when saw that Xie Qingying was speaking up for Gu Nianzhi. She thought to herself, “You are acting generous now but will cry in the future.”

He Zhichu was indeed shocked, “Nianzhi actually was the chief surgeon? ! She didn’t even study medicine, so how could she know how to perform surgery? !”

“That’s right. Not only has she never studied medicine, but she is also practicing medicine without a license.” Qin Yaoguang had finally found the right perspective to diss Gu Nianzhi, so she quickly became arrogant again.

He Chengjian’s personal secretary, Lao Zhou, could not stand Qin Yaoguang’s appearance and did not want her to return to the He family, he laughed and said, “Mr. He, it’s actually not that exaggerated. It’s a Gamma Knife surgery. As you know, Gamma Knife is operated by a computer. It’s different from normal surgery. Miss Gu’s computer skills seemed to be quite proficient. I saw her operating on the computer with my own eyes.”

He Zhichu thought about it carefully and let out a sigh of relief. He lowered his eyes, and his long, dark lashes obscured the exhaustion behind his eyes. “That’s good. Why didn’t you guys say so earlier? I didn’t even thank her personally.”

“… She might not want your thanks.” He Chengjian’s expression darkened as he said lightly.

It wasn’t like he didn’t notice Gu Nianzhi’s fleeing footsteps.

Ha, she could leave because he was willing to let her go. Otherwise, even if ten Peters were here, they wouldn’t be able to take her away.
