“I have to investigate any people around her who are dangerous.”
He Niancheng put down his pen and sat up from his office chair. He gazed out of the windows. “I saw auntie a few days ago.”
“Princess Man?”
Huo Yingcheng dragged his chair closer. “What did she say? Did she say that your father allowed us to go back….”
“What daydreams are you having?”
He Niancheng turned around and looked at him coldly. “For now, don’t even think about going back.”
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
Could this guy be more considerate of this lonely man’s soul?
“What’s important is that she saw Qingjiu.”
Huo Yingcheng was stunned. “I get that you met Princess Man, but why did Qingjiu see her as well? We’re you both together? What place was it?”
Huo Yingcheng didn’t need him to say more. He could already smell the gossip in the air.
There was even a tinge of annoyance in the air.
He Niancheng naturally didn’t reveal more.
Huo Yingcheng could only drop it, laying limply back onto the table. “Major-General, what are you worried about? Qingjiu is currently a god-like sharpshooter in the military school. The higher-ups of China have their eyes on her, even if the empire wants to do something, they cannot…”
He Niancheng frowned at Huo Yingcheng with a puzzled look. “How did you misinterpret my words?”
Huo Yingcheng was confused. “Isn’t that the case? Isn’t this how Chinese dramas always go? Seeing that Qingjiu was not befitting of you, they would throw a cheque of five million at her to get her to leave you! Based on my understanding of the empire, there’s a high chance that they would do this.”
He Niancheng was speechless.
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
The two men who were about to hit their thirties fell into an awkward silence.
In the end, He Niancheng spoke, “I’m only worth five million?”
“Then… another zero perhaps? That’s USD, which is quite a lot!”
“…”
“Of course, this is not for me to decide. You have to see your worth in her heart. I think it’s only worth a hundred million yuan, not any more than that.”
“Scram!”
…
Wednesday. The last day before the competition. The sharpshooting preliminaries officially began.
Gu Qingjiu was already selected by her instructor so she did not need to participate in the preliminaries.
Without training, Gu Qingjiu had nothing to do. She wanted to find the Chief Instructor, but he was surrounded by other leaders as well.
So after contemplating, Gu Qingjiu decided to go to the electrical engineering major’s side to look at Qi Xiaoran’s competition.
She was quite curious about Qi Xiaoran’s shooting competition.
Electrical engineering was not far away. Just as Gu Qingjiu arrived on the first floor, she bumped into Huo Yingcheng.
Seeing that it was Gu Qingjiu, Huo Yingcheng’s eyes shone.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one knew that he knew Gu Qingjiu, he confidently ordered, “This student, give me a hand!”
Gu Qingjiu couldn’t help rolling her eyes inwardly but she had to salute Huo Yingcheng respectfully on the surface. “Commander Huo!”
“Yes!”
Do you believe that she would complain about this to the chief instructor!
Huo Yingcheng raised his brows and walked in front.
Gu Qingjiu had no choice but to follow behind.
When there was no one around, she took the chance to ask softly, “Commander Huo, where are we going?”
Huo Yingcheng had his arms behind his back and a stern expression on. “Student, is what a higher-up wants something a student like you can speculate?”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Haiya! How annoying!
