Chapter 1670: Achilles’ heel

The two people, deeply in love, sat right next to each other. Even their skin was attracted to each other.

Every cell in their bodies was clamoring to get closer and closer.

Huo Shaoheng felt all the anti-seduction training he had received in his life had been wasted. His strong willpower was now like a building about to collapse.

Gu Nianzhi had endured a lot, but she had never received that kind of training. She was now like a person made of snow. If the scorching flames from Huo Shaoheng came any closer, she would melt into water and be defeated.

The room was completely quiet. Both of them seemed to be able to hear the sound of time.

Every minute and second was like a fleeting moment.

They thought that it had been a long time, like eternity, but in reality, it had only been a few minutes when there was a light click from the door of the suite.

Huo Shaoheng suddenly came to his senses and stepped aside. He said with a faint smile, “So did Miss Gu agree to my request?”

“…,” said Gu Nianzhi.

As though a basin of cold water splashed down on her, Gu Nianzhi woke up as well.

She gritted her teeth quietly. How could this person still pretend? The thrilling scene just now seemed to be her own wishful thinking.

But then she realized that in this environment, it would be impossible for them to even acknowledge each other.

That would only put them in a more dangerous environment.

Huo Shaoheng couldn’t be blamed; she was the one who lost her composure.

Gu Nianzhi reflected on herself, and her face quickly turned as cold as ice.

She turned her head and frowned. “Who promised you? Don’t try to create drama. It’s fine. I’m here to see Young Master He. If you’re here to see Young Master He, then sit over there. Don’t squeeze on the same sofa as me. It’ll look like your motives are impure.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open. He Chengjian’s personal secretary stood at the door and raised her eyebrows. She said, “The chemical defense unit just sent a message. They haven’t found anything in that ward for the time being. Our Chief would like to invite Mr. Peter over to talk.”

Gu Nianzhi felt at ease. She turned to look at Huo Shaoheng mockingly and said, “Mr. Peter, your idea isn’t working. Think again and give General He more ideas.”

She made an OK gesture with her hand. Her eyes were curved and her smile was even more dazzling than a begonia in spring.

Huo Shaoheng looked away with difficulty. He also wanted to keep his distance from Gu Nianzhi for the time being. He had almost broken his technique just now…

“I’ll go and take a look, but I can’t help much. I don’t know much about this.” He said gently and stood up from Gu Nianzhi’s side.

His tall body blocked the lights in the living room and cast a shadow over Gu Nianzhi, covering her whole body.

Just where he couldn’t see, Gu Nianzhi quietly reached out and clenched her fists, as if she wanted to grab the shadow.

She really wanted to become Huo Shaoheng’s shadow so that she could follow him wherever he went. They wouldn’t be separated, nor would she disappear, but she wouldn’t need him to take care of her.

That way, no one would be able to separate them.

Unfortunately, this was just a fantasy.

Huo Shaoheng followed He Chengjian’s personal secretary out of the door and closed the door behind him.

Gu Nianzhi glanced in the direction of the door as if she was lost. She quickly lowered her head and looked at her phone screen.

She had completely lost awareness just now and did not know what message she had sent.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Jin sent “? ? ?”

He had sent her a series of question marks.

Gu Nianzhi smiled and happily sent Lu Jin a message. “I was distracted by something just now.”

Lu Jin heaved a sigh of relief and quickly replied, “When will you be back?”

“…,” Gu Nianzhi said.

Her fingers flew up and down as she replied. “When Young Master He wakes up, I’ll be able to go home.”

Lu Jin was furious. “What if he doesn’t wake up? Then you won’t be able to go home for the rest of your life! He Chengjian, that old Fogey, has gone too far!”

Lu Jin was very sensitive when it came to his daughter, no longer showing the typical symptoms of a person with severe interpersonal disorder.

Gu Nianzhi’s sweet smile turned into a wry smile. She thought about it for a moment and tried to change the topic. “However, Young Master He’s situation is really strange. I saw the surveillance video in the ward and there was nothing unusual, but he suddenly fainted.”

Lu Jin was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted indignantly, “He Zhichu fainted, and He Chengjian wants to keep my daughter there. Isn’t he just planning to let my daughter continue to make medicine?!”

Unfortunately, there was no one else in the room. No one heard him speak, and he was the only one venting his anger.

Lu Jin was angry for a while, but he swallowed his anger and sent a message to Gu Nianzhi. “No one can be unconscious for no reason. If he’s unconscious, there must be a reason. Have they found out what the reason is?”

According to Lu Jin’s nature, even if He Zhichu died in front of him, he wouldn’t care.

When he treated He Zhichu, it was partly because he didn’t want Qin Suwen to feel heartbroken over the loss of his son, and partly because he was very interested in the treatment method Qin Yaoguang had suggested. It had aroused his great interest in scientific research, so he had devoted himself to it.

If it had been He Chengjian’s method at that time, Lu Jin would have rather been shot dead than saved.

He had a stubborn personality. When he lost his temper, not even the most powerful pulling machine could pull him back, let alone ten cows.

But now that his precious daughter was in the hands of someone else, if he did not care, the one being hurt would be his precious daughter. That was his Achilles’ heel.

Gu Nianzhi did not hear Lu Jin lose his temper, but Lu Jin took a while to reply. She knew that Lu Jin was angry.

Who wouldn’t be angry at He Chengjian for doing this?

But he couldn’t object.

Seeing Lu Jin reply, Gu Nianzhi quickly added, “It’s just that we haven’t found out the reason, so it’s strange.”

“Mr. Peter is here too. According to his observations, it’s not affected by the drugs, but it might be related to airborne transmission.”

“I was wondering if it was a virus or something. They can all be airborne.”

“General He sent the anti-chemical unit to that ward to collect evidence, but they just received news that they didn’t find anything.”

In other words, they didn’t collect any information about the virus or bacteria.

Gu Nianzhi sent a lot of messages in one go, and then waited anxiously for Lu Jin’s reply.

Lu Jin’s first thought was also about bacteria and viruses.

Although these things were small, they were all-pervasive and could cause unimaginable consequences.

However, Gu Nianzhi said that He Chengjian had already sent anti-chemical units to investigate, but there was still no result.

If it wasn’t bacteria and viruses, then what was it?

Lu Jin thought about it for a moment and replied, “What about the surveillance video? Can I see it?”

Gu Nianzhi nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes!”

She shared her cloud account with Lu Jin so that he could see the surveillance video.

This surveillance video had been brought in from the ward. The resolution was not high, and only a few people’s rough figures and movements could be seen. Their expressions were a little blurry, it was like the images of those color television sets from the last century that did not have high resolution.

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but retort, “The Qin private hospital claims to be rich and imposing. They charge so much, but this surveillance camera is so simple and crude. They won’t even install a high-resolution camera.”

Lu Jin laughed and replied, “The Qin private hospital is essentially a for-profit hospital. Their goal is not to treat patients and save people, but to make money. Treating patients and saving people is their way of making a profit. Don’t think that just because there’s a ‘hospital’ in its name that it will treat patients. To private hospitals, it doesn’t matter. They only care about money.”

Gu Nianzhi sighed and shook her head.

She didn’t know much about this, so it wasn’t convenient for her to express her opinion.

Lu Jin was about to go watch the surveillance video, so he replied to Gu Nianzhi, “I’m going to see what’s going on with that video. Don’t worry. Even if He Zhichu doesn’t wake up, I’ll let you come home.”

Lu Jin cut off Gu Nianzhi’s secret connection and turned on his mainframe, which was comparable to the central control system of the Huaxia Empire, to a.n.a.lyze the surveillance video.

Since it wasn’t bacteria or viruses, there had to be another reason.

There were many mediums that could be transmitted through the air, and any one could have caused He Zhichu to fall unconscious.

But at the same time, the other two people were safe and sound. This was interesting.

No, that’s not right. Gu Nianzhi had said that Qin Yaoguang had also fainted.

A little later than He Zhichu.

What was the reason?

Lu Jin was the same as Gu Nianzhi. He had slowed down the surveillance video and watched it frame by frame, but he was also doing a large amount of data a.n.a.lysis at the same time.

Gu Nianzhi was using He Zhichu’s laptop.

Although the laptop had excellent performance, it could not be compared to Lu Jin’s super computer.

This was a computer that Lu Jin had built himself. Even the chip was self-designed. It was 100,000 EtHash ASIC miner chips ahead of the most powerful computer on the market.

However, even though he had such a powerful computer a.n.a.lysis system, it took him nearly four hours to find a clue.
