Chapter 11

Huo Shaoheng was expressionless, but his eyes grew darker, like the ocean before a hurricane. He crossed his arms and looked down at Chen Lie. "Is there really no other way?"

"Not exactly." Chen Lie felt a little smug. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then took out a spectacle cloth to take off his glasses and slowly wiped them.

"What do you mean?"

"If you really want to erase your memory afterward, there's only a physical method for now. That is surgery to remove a part of your frontal lobe." Chen Lie glanced at Huo Shaoheng and didn't wait for him to respond. He continued quickly. "But the consequences are very serious. Huo Shao, as a high-ranking general, the military will never agree to this kind of surgery. Also, what reason can you use to convince the military to allow you to have surgery? Right? "Chen Lie analyzed the pros and cons for Huo Shaoheng with great sincerity.

"F * ck!" Huo Shaoheng punched the metal door hard, making a fist-sized dent.

Chen Lie's eyebrows twitched when he saw this. He chuckled. "Huo Shao? You don't have to do this, do you? With your willpower and control, it's only a matter of time before you forget this kind of memory! And it won't cause you any trouble, right? "

"Of course not." Huo Shaoheng expressionlessly rubbed his fist in front of Chen Lie, cracking his knuckles.

Chen Lie was sweating again. He knew he had to change the subject quickly, or he would be dead. In a moment of desperation, he thought of Gu Nianzhi and immediately raised her as a shield. "Huo Shao, I have to go check on Nianzhi. She's still a ******. I don't know what you did to her last night …"

"Stop right there." Huo Shaoheng stopped him with a frown. "Get a female doctor to examine her."

"Huo Shao, you're discriminating against male doctors!" Chen Lie protested sternly, but before Huo Shaoheng's expression changed, he immediately opened his pager and said, "Dr. Ye, come to Huo Shao's building. There's a secret mission that requires you."

Huo Shaoheng finally let him go and retracted his hand. He walked to the window and crossed his arms as he looked out. "I don't need to teach you what to say and what not to say, do I?"

"I know, I know! Understood, understood! "Chen Lie hurriedly nodded and bowed. He had a good attitude in admitting his mistake.

Huo Shaoheng looked at him coldly and didn't say anything else.

Not long after, Ye Zitan walked over with her medical kit. She saluted Huo Shaoheng first, then looked at Chen Lie. "Dr. Chen, what's the mission?"

Chen Lie gestured towards the bedroom and led her inside. He said in a low voice, "It's like this, Nianzhi. You recognize it, right? The little girl was accidentally raped by someone. We just saved her. Go and check on her. See if her injuries are serious. Give her some medicine … "

Ye Zitan was also a military doctor and Chen Lie's subordinate. She was shocked to hear this and quickly said, "Huh? Who did it? Did you catch him? "

Chen Lie glanced in Huo Shaoheng's direction and saw that Huo Shaoheng had silently turned around to face the window. The corners of Chen Lie's mouth turned up. He coughed lightly and said unhappily, "Why are you asking so many questions? With Huo Shao around, are you worried that you won't be able to catch the culprit? Let me tell you, Huo Shao has already killed the murderer … but you must remember to keep this a secret. Later, Huo Shao will ask you to sign a military order. Do you understand the severity of this? "

"Oh, I understand. I'll definitely keep it a secret. "Ye Zitan nodded sullenly and carried the medical kit to the bedroom.

The room was very dark. Ye Zitan first turned on the lights, then put on gloves and lifted the thin blanket covering Gu Nianzhi's body.

She gasped at the scene in front of her.

"Ah —! What a beast! How could he be so cruel?! He completely disregarded the little girl's health! " Ye Zitan saw the deep and shallow bruises on Gu Nianzhi's body and the swelling of her lower body. She was furious and cursed in the bedroom. Men who committed crimes deserved to die a horrible death. Even turning his bones into ashes was letting him off easy …

Chen Lie's face contorted as he held back his laughter at the door. He was about to suffer internal injuries.

The corners of Huo Shaoheng's mouth twitched as he stood by the window. He returned to his usual expressionless face and calmly turned around to walk out the door.

His hands were in the pockets of his camouflage pants and he habitually wore a Bluetooth headset. He came down from the third floor and saw that it was still early. He decided to go for a morning exercise and run a 10-kilometer obstacle course to vent his pent-up energy.

Just as he ran out, another call came in through his Bluetooth headset.

This time, it was an operator from the military base.

"Huo Shao, there's a message from your civilian line. It's about Miss Gu. Would you like to listen to the message?"

Huo Shaoheng was Gu Nianzhi's guardian, but his true identity had never been made public.

The number he gave Gu Nianzhi was a civilian number, and he was only a small employee in a company. Therefore, Gu Nianzhi's classmates and friends only knew that she was an orphan and had an uncle from an ordinary family as her guardian.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. Miss Gu's post-grad interview is today. The call came from Miss Gu's university department. They called more than 10 times in the morning, but no one picked up. Finally, they called your number. "

Post-grad interview?

Huo Shaoheng frowned and suddenly remembered that Gu Nianzhi seemed to have told him a while ago that she wanted to take the post-grad exam. Could it be that she had already finished and was going for the interview?

Huo Shaoheng stopped running and dialed Chen Lie's number. He asked calmly, "Chen Lie, did Nianzhi take the post-grad entrance exam?"

Chen Lie replied with an "oh" and nodded. "She did. I think she got first place. What's wrong?"

Huo Shaoheng lit a cigarette and said to Chen Lie, "Then when will she wake up? Did you know that she has her post-grad interview today? "

"Interview? Forget it. Even if she wakes up today, she won't be able to get out of bed. She's been tortured too much. I'm afraid she'll have to stay in bed for a week before she can get out. "Chen Lie said sarcastically as he knocked on the table.

Huo Shaoheng took a long drag on his cigarette and exhaled a cloud of white smoke. He said calmly, "Ok, then give her a sick note. The more sick, the better. I'll get someone to send it to Nianzhi's university department and see if they can push the interview back. "

Chen Lie didn't refuse. He knew that Gu Nianzhi really wanted to become a law student. As he fiddled with his hemodialysis equipment in his bedroom, he said into his headset, "No problem. But do you want me to get someone to put in a good word with the university? Otherwise, it'll be bad if they try to be bureaucratic. "

"I'll get Yin Shixiong to do that." Huo Shaoheng changed his phone and dialed Yin Shixiong's number.

Yin Shixiong was one of Huo Shaoheng's personal secretaries. He was usually the one to deal with other departments. He was loyal, smooth, and had a glib tongue that could coax the birds out of the trees.

When Yin Shixiong received Huo Shaoheng's call, he quickly agreed and immediately came over to collect the sick note and diagnosis report. He personally drove to Gu Nianzhi's university department to ask for leave from the teacher.

It was 15 minutes before the interview began.

Feng Yixi was wearing a light gray suit and skirt. She waited in the conference room with dignity.

Today was the interview for Professor He Zhichu in B City.

Gu Nianzhi hadn't shown up yet. She probably wouldn't be able to make it …

Feng Yixi looked down to hide the joy on her face.

In the office next door, He Zhichu, a professor in a white suit at B City University's Faculty of Law, had his back to the door. He said impatiently, "If you're going to be late for the interview, then don't come. Why are you asking for sick leave?!"

"Professor He, our Miss Gu really has an acute illness. Please take a look at this sick note from a professional doctor. There's also a diagnosis report." Yin Shixiong put on an act and took out the medical report he had received from Chen Lie.

Of course, the illness was fake. The truth could not be revealed …

He Zhichu turned away from the window and looked down at the sick note and diagnosis report that Yin Shixiong handed to him.

Yin Shixiong quietly looked at He Zhichu and was secretly shocked.

He didn't expect the famous B University Faculty of Law professor to be so young!

The tailored white suit on his tall and straight body made him look even more elegant and handsome.
