Chapter 1341: The Bottom Line Exists To Be Broken
Gu Nianzhi was at a loss for words.
He Zhichu seemed to understand what she was thinking. The corners of his lips curled up on his cold face. “Nianzhi, I’ve unlocked your phone’s permission settings. You can see me, and I can also see you.”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat. She opened the “Find Friends” app on her phone and immediately saw He Zhichu’s location.
However, her phone first had to give He Zhichu’s phone access to see her location…
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t remember when she had given He Zhichu’s phone access.
Narrowing her big dark eyes, Gu Nianzhi said softly, ” … Professor He, I didn’t expect you to be a computer network expert. When did you hack into my phone? I actually didn’t know…”
Gu Nianzhi didn’t mention the various security procedures Huo Shaoheng and the special operations forces had installed on her phone. She had also installed a lot of security measures on her own phone to prevent others from hacking into her phone.
She had been a hacker herself, and knew very well how easy it was to hack into someone else’s phone in the world of mobile networks.
But in modern society, almost everyone’s privacy was preserved in their own phone.
He Zhichu pursed his lips and said airily, “I didn’t hack your phone. I just… Once took your phone and added my phone number to your phone’s friends ‘family’ Group.”
As long as he was in her ‘family’ group, many permissions could be shared.
Gu Nianzhi looked down and saw that He Zhichu’s profile picture had indeed appeared in the “family” group of her mobile phone friends.
Although it made sense, Gu Nianzhi didn’t believe that He Zhichu had used her phone to do such a thing.
She knew very well that He Zhichu had almost no chance of obtaining her phone alone.
If she had guessed correctly, He Zhichu had really hacked her phone..
Fortunately, there was nothing hidden in her phone. There were no indecent photos or private logs. At most, there were some photos of Huo Shaoheng that she had secretly taken…
There was a photo of He Zhichu wearing a military uniform in public and looking handsome.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t know if He Zhichu had flipped through her photo album, but her face grew red as she said sullenly, “Professor He, you have to at least tell me, or there will be a misunderstanding.”
He Zhichu knew that Gu Nianzhi was angry, so he grew a little nervous.
He really messed up on this matter.
However, while he was secretly in love with her and missing her so much that he couldn’t stop thinking about her, he, who had been drunk one night, finally crossed his bottom line and hacked into Gu Nianzhi’s phone.
He just wanted to know where she was when he missed her.
He Zhichu felt happy when he saw her smiling profile picture on the phone map. He couldn’t help smiling as he hugged the phone to sleep. Even his dreams were sweet.
However, he was too ashamed to say such things to Gu Nianzhi. He didn’t want to burden her, so he didn’t explain any further.
He had been too anxious today so he forgot about it for a moment and accidentally revealed he knew where Gu Nianzhi was. If he had asked her where she was like before, she might not have been so angry.
He Zhichu whispered, “I’m sorry… ” then he casually changed the topic. “I saw your location at the Xie family villa. Are the Xie family’s members back? Did you come with Major General Huo?”
Gu Nianzhi’s face was sulky as her fingers slid across He Zhichu’s profile picture. She resisted the urge to delete him from her “family” group several times and also wanted to turn off sharing her location with him at “Find Friends”.
However, all sorts of thoughts raced through her mind, but in the end, she didn’t do so.
Gu Nianzhi said, “Professor He, don’t do this again in the future.”
“Yes, I definitely won’t do it again.” He Zhichu felt relieved when he saw that Gu Nianzhi’s profile picture was still there on the phone map. Knowing that she hadn’t deleted him, He Zhichu felt even better.
However, Gu Nianzhi’s next sentence didn’t put him in a good mood.
“But, Professor He, you have to teach me how you broke through all the obstacles and hacked into my phone.” Gu Nianzhi laughed. Even though they were separated by walls, trees, and mountains, she could still imagine He Zhichu’s defeated expression.
He Zhichu: ” … ”
“If you don’t teach me, I’ll change my number completely. I refuse to believe that you can hack into my phone without knowing my number.” Gu Nianzhi’s large eyes curved into two crescent moons.
He Zhichu knew that he should have refused, but he said, “Okay.”
“Great! Professor He, you’re a man of your word!” Gu Nianzhi cocked her head and leaned against the curtains by the window. “Okay, you called me, so is there anything else?”
He Zhichu rubbed his temples. He regretted making the call.
“There’s nothing else. I was just curious about the reason you were in the Xie family’s villa, ” He Zhichu said airily. “The security for the Xie family’s villa is one of the best in this area. You wouldn’t have been able to enter by yourself if they hadn’t brought you in.”
“Is it that serious?” Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. “But I did enter by myself. They didn’t know that I came from…”
She looked out the window. “I climbed in from the tree next to the wall. I saw the scenery here, and the observation deck was so beautiful!”
He Zhichu: ” … ”
That little rascal was trying to trick him.
“Nianzhi, the wall you saw has infrared night vision devices on it, and automatic laser-guided weapons hidden in the dark. If you really climbed in from the wall, you would have been knocked unconscious and sent to the police station by now, and Huo Shaoheng would be on his way to the police station to bail you out.”
He Zhichu spoke slowly, with his voice clear and his words… a little harsh.
Gu Nianzhi wasn’t angry. Instead, she was even more curious. “Professor He, how do you know all of this? Can I get someone to verify it? ”
He Zhichu: ” … ”
He was truly defeated by this “curiosity killed the cat” little rascal.
He Zhichu shook his head helplessly. “Alright, Nianzhi, I admit my mistake. Can’t I admit my mistake? I’ll teach you. I’ll teach you whatever you want to learn.”
Gu Nianzhi was happy now. She smiled like a kitten that had eaten a fish. “Professor He, shouldn’t you have promised me this earlier? Hehe, it’s like this. Old Mr. Xie is back. He’s Major General Huo’s Great-uncle. He brought me here today to learn the way ” She giggled again. “Old Mr. Xie is like you. He also wants to give me his villa as a dowry, but I politely declined.”
“How would I dare live in a house like this?”
He Zhichu fell silent for a long time before he said faintly, ” … I’m the same as Old Mr. Xie? Am I that old? ”
Why was his focus on this?!
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, “That’s not what I meant. I meant that you’re the same as Old Mr. Xie because you’re highly regarded by me!”
He wasn’t consoled!
He Zhichu pursed his lips even tighter. After a while.., he said, “Nianzhi, if old Mr. Xie wants to support you, that’s a good thing. But don’t accept old Mr. Xie’s overly valuable possessions. I’ll prepare your dowry for you. I won’t let you be unworthy of the Huo family. Also, Tell Old Mr. Xie that you have a family, which is me, He Zhichu.”
He Zhichu was obviously backing her up.
Gu Nianzhi felt as if someone had thrown a pebble into the lake of her heart. The ripples in her heart were shaking, and her heart was overflowing with gratitude and joy.
She knew very well that Xie Shenxing had said that he wanted to be a part of her family. It was purely because they loved her and didn’t want others to say that she wasn’t worthy of Huo Shaoheng.
By saying that about her, they were actually shaming Huo Shaoheng and the Xie family.
Therefore, they stood up and actively supported Gu Nianzhi to show that they were very satisfied with her. Not only were the Huo family satisfied, but the Huo family’s in-laws, the Xie family, were even more satisfied.
Although Gu Nianzhi was very touched by the Xie family’s good intentions, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, everyone knew that the Xie family was Huo Shaoheng’s maternal family, and had nothing to do with her, Gu Nianzhi.
She felt uncomfortable revealing the relationship between Xie Dezhao and Xie Qingying. Xie Dezhao and Xie Shenxing were already relatives.
Even though they were still members of the Xie family, they would be too thick-skinned to call themselves relatives.
Even Speaker Long didn’t dare call himself a member of the Xie family by marriage.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t understand the ways of the world in the past, but ever since her relationship with Huo Shaoheng was made public, she had to understand even if she didn’t want to.
Fortunately, these things weren’t as difficult to understand as the law and computer programming languages.
She could play around with the law and computer programming, so it wasn’t difficult for her to understand the ways of the world.
But when she thought of this, Gu Nianzhi felt a little tired for the first time.
Sure enough, love was one thing, but marriage was another.
But it was different when He Zhichu took the initiative to step forward.
Deep down, Gu Nianzhi already thought of He Zhichu as her brother. She couldn’t help saying to He Zhichu, “Professor He, why do you have to make it so complicated? Is it really that important to have a family?”
He Zhichu was in great emotional turmoil, and he almost blurted out, ” … It’s not that complicated if you marry me.”
But he didn’t say it, and he didn’t dare say it because he knew that Gu Nianzhi would definitely fall out with him if he said it, and he would really be blacklisted…
He Zhichu walked around the room with his phone in his hand, and he tried to comfort Gu Nianzhi. “Nianzhi, to be honest, with your abilities, I don’t think it’s that important to you that you have a family. Old Mr. Xie must have said that because he doesn’t know how powerful our Nianzhi is. What’s the use of having a powerful family? If the descendants aren’t capable enough, they’ll fall behind others any moment.”
Gu Nianzhi liked hearing this. She beamed. “Professor He, you’re so good at this. You really see things clearly!”
He Zhichu couldn’t help laughing. This heartless little girl was really getting better and better at flattering him.
“Tsk tsk, Nianzhi, be reserved, be reserved. You don’t have to praise yourself in front of me. In my heart, you’re the best at any time, anywhere. No one can compare to you, ” He Zhichu said airily. His cold and clear voice didn’t fluctuate, as if he was talking about something extremely norma.
Gu Nianzhi curled her lips. “Professor He, if you keep praising me like that, I’ll get too big for my britches.”
“Don’t worry. No matter where you go, I’ll find you. I won’t leave you Alone,” He Zhichu said meaningfully.
Gu Nianzhi’s large, bright eyes were completely curved into two thin crescent moons. She said, “Professor He, in two weeks, the Xie family will be holding an engagement party for Major General Huo and I at the Diaotai State Guesthouse. You have to come!”
“Really?” He Zhichu nodded lightly. “That’s not bad. I wanted to help you hold it, but I felt that it would be a bit unbecoming for the woman’s family to host the engagement party, so I didn’t mention it.”
Gu Nianzhi was surprised. “Professor He, overseas weddings are always hosted by the woman. Didn’t you grow up overseas? Don’t you know about this?”
He Zhichu’s heart tightened, but he quickly added, “Yes, of course I know about this custom, but we are the Huaxia Empire’s descendants. We are used to the man holding the wedding, buying the house, and giving betrothal gifts. The woman is only responsible for getting married beautifully.”
