Chapter 1493 - Are You Blind?

Chapter 1493: Are You Blind? Gu Nianzhi had lived in C City for five years.
She was more familiar with every aspect of C City than the imperial capital, but she didn’t know how different this C City was from that of the other side.
When they arrived at the airport, He Zhichu and He Chengjian received a message from Qin Zhining saying that he and Gu Nianzhi were about to board a plane to C City.
He Zhichu didn’t say anything and replied with a message,
Take good care of her.

He Chengjian’s reply was even shorter. He only had three words: Got it.
Secretly looking at his phone to see what instructions her superiors had, Qin Zhining bent over and sat next to Gu Nianzhi.
He was a little speechless when he saw the messages from the two of them.
He put his phone away and turned to look at Gu Nianzhi, who was already standing up in high spirits. He said,
It’s time to board the plane.

Her luggage had already been checked in, and she was carrying an orange Hermes Birkin bag on her arm.
Qin Zhining looked up at her and stood up to say deliberately,
This kind of bag looks better on a mature woman. You, you need more time.


A mature woman?
Gu Nianzhi was deep in thought.
You mean older women, right?

Qin Zhining nodded.
You could say that.


… like Wen Shouyi?
Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and smiled slyly.
Qin Zhining was annoyed. He turned his head and ignored her as he walked to the boarding gate alone.
Gu Nianzhi followed him and smiled.
Don’t be so angry. I bought you a plane ticket. Remember to pay me back.

Qin Zhining stopped in his tracks and said coldly,
Your phone number.

Gu Nianzhi gave him a string of numbers.
Qin Zhining entered her phone and transferred her the money for the plane ticket.
We don’t owe each other anymore.


Yes, yes, yes.
Gu Nianzhi nodded repeatedly and beamed.
How good would that be? It wouldn’t hurt money if we didn’t talk about our relationship.

Qin Zhining:
…

Qin Zhining didn’t say much throughout the journey.
Fortunately, it was only two or three hours from the imperial capital to C City.
Gu Nianzhi took a nap and woke up to find that the plane was about to land.
Qin zhining stood up and took off his backpack.
Do you have a place to stay here?

Gu Nianzhi thought for a moment.
I’ll find a hotel first, then rent a house.

She had lived in C City before. The western part of the city was where the main government department was located. The houses in the residential areas there were particularly expensive, but the environment of the residential area was very good. Moreover, the military branch was located in the western part of the city, Gu Nianzhi lived in that area with Huo Shaoheng.
The northern part of the city was where the rich lived. Most of them were the bosses of listed companies and business families.
C City’s financial and high-tech industries were very developed. The eastern part of the city was a business area with many skyscrapers. Several famous internet companies in Huaxia Empire were located there.
The southern part of the city was where the average working class lived. The density of the population was the highest here. Although the houses were also high-rise buildings, they were densely packed. They stood in a narrow space like matchboxes.
The houses were very close to each other.
Opening the windows, one could see the people in the opposite building clearly.
When Gu Nianzhi was in university in C City, she had followed her classmates to Nancheng to do social research and legal services.
Her plan was to rent a small apartment in Nan City and stay there for the time being.
There were many people here, and the signals were complicated.
She entered the south city like a small raindrop falling into the sea.
It wasn’t easy to track her or keep an eye on her.
As long as she could get rid of Qin Zhining, she would be able to enjoy her time alone.
Gu Nianzhi opened the app on her phone and looked for a hotel in the north city on purpose. She said,
I booked two rooms. How long will you be staying here?

Qin Zhining said nonchalantly,
After you’re settled, I can go back and report.


That simple?
Gu Nianzhi looked at him suspiciously.
Aren’t you going to protect me in the dark?

Qin Zhining:
! ! !


… How did you know?
Qin Zhining was starting to think Gu Nianzhi wasn’t simple.
Did Young Master He tell you?

Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and smiled.
Yes, Young Master He told me.

Actually, she had deduced it from Huo Shaoheng and the others’ working conditions.
Gu Nianzhi had already discovered that although there was no Special Operations Forces here. Qin Zhining’s work was similar to that of the Special Operations Forces.
Qin Zhining narrowed his eyes.
Really? You’re not lying to me, are you?


Of course not.
Gu Nianzhi put away her phone and changed the subject with a serious expression.
By the way, can you help me ask Young Master He if he can give me thedriver’s license so I don’t have to take the test again?

Gu Nianzhi’s heart ached at the thought of her beloved car she had left behind. She didn’t want to talk to Qin Zhining anymore.
The two of them got off the plane and rented a car at the airport. They drove over to the hotel Gu Nianzhi had booked.
Gu Nianzhi, who had always been chatty and talkative, suddenly stopped talking. Qin Zhining, on the other hand, wasn’t used to it.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi from time to time, but even after several tries, Gu Nianzhi pretended to be deaf and dumb and refused to speak, so he didn’t ask.
He drove silently all the way to the hotel in the north city. Qin Zhining was stunned.
You booked a five-star Hilton Hotel?!


Yes, so?
Gu Nianzhi pushed the car door open with a sullen expression on her face.
It’s only 5,000 yuan a night. Do you think it’s too bad?

She had booked a cheap standard room. If it was a presidential suite or something, He Zhichu’s 100,000 yuan would probably only be enough for a few nights.
Qin Zhining trembled.
5,000 yuan a night… can I check out?


No.
Gu Nianzhi looked back at him and smiled.
Look at you. I’ll pay for your room today, but you should go back tomorrow and get me a driver’s license.

Qin Zhining nodded immediately.
I can go back now.

A room for five thousand a night? Would she get pregnant if she slept?
Gu Nianzhi scoffed. Even though it was exactly what she wanted, she still put on an awkward expression. She thought about it for a long time and said,
Okay then, you go back first. When you come back tomorrow, get me a driver’s license.

She dragged her suitcase into the hotel to check in.
Qin Zhining felt as if he had been pardoned. He drove back to the airport.
Qin Zhining wasn’t particularly worried about Gu Nianzhi’s safety because he was protecting out in the open now. If he left, his colleagues who were secretly protecting her would take over.
On the way, he used his phone to buy a plane ticket. He returned the car when he arrived at the airport and boarded the plane back to the capital.
Gu Nianzhi was relieved that she had gotten rid of Qin Zhining. She checked out of the room she had booked for Qin Zhining at the front desk. All she wanted was a standard room.
It was a five-star hotel after all. It was fine to check out at the last minute.
Gu Nianzhi took the key card and went upstairs. She asked where she was going to have dinner. She entered the room and rested for a while. It was time for dinner.
She was about to go down to find a place to eat when He Zhichu called.

Nianzhi, have you checked in already?
Wearing a Bluetooth headset as he called Gu Nianzhi, He Zhichu was sitting in his office.
Gu Nianzhi smoothed her hair in front of the mirror and walked out with her phone in her hand.
I just did. Brother Little Ning has already returned to the capital. Young Master He, can you get me a driver’s license so he can bring it over?

He Zhichu knew Gu Nianzhi had a driver’s license over there, so he nodded and agreed.
I’ll get Xiao Qin to bring it over when he gets back.

Gu Nianzhi smiled and thanked him.
Is there anything else, Young Master He? I’m going to have dinner.

He Zhichu quickly said,
Hurry up and eat. Don’t starve yourself.

Thinking of Gu Nianzhi’s
cooking skills,
He Zhichu reminded her,
Remember to find a part-time cook after you rent a room. Don’t order takeout all the time.


Got it.
Gu Nianzhi made a face at her phone.
I won’t drink red wine every day.

She was teasing He Zhichu about how she often drank red wine when she was there.
He Zhichu:
…


… You’re getting more and more cheeky.
He Zhichu’s lips curved into a smile, and his charming almond-shaped eyes shone with an intoxicating smile.
Gu Nianzhi walked into the elevator as she made her phone call. Thinking that the restaurant was on the fourth floor, she scanned the floor and saw the word
four,
so she pressed the button.
The elevator slid all the way down until it reached the fourth floor.
The elevator door opened and Gu Nianzhi saw a very elegant and fashionable corridor. A few well-dressed people walked past her, and the pleasant sound of a piano could be heard from the private room. It sounded very grand.
Is this a restaurant?
Gu Nianzhi walked out of the elevator and looked for signs everywhere.
After looking for a long time, she finally understood that this was the fourth basement level. There was a
one
number in front of the
four
that she had pressed, so she hadn’t noticed it.
However, from the looks of it, this seemed to be a place for eating as well, and it was also very classy.
Gu Nianzhi’s curiosity was piqued, so she decided to find a place to eat here.
She looked at the private rooms one by one. Some of the private rooms had their doors closed, while others had their doors ajar.
There were small groups of people drinking in small groups inside. There were also large groups of people that looked as if they were having a party.
However, it wasn’t noisy, and everyone was very polite.
Gu Nianzhi was almost at the end of the corridor, but she didn’t see any place like a restaurant where she could order food.
She was a little disappointed, and was about to return to the restaurant on the fourth floor upstairs. There must be a place where she could order food.
At that moment, the door of a private room was suddenly pushed open.
A drunk man came out from inside. He held the door and panted for a while, as if he was going to puke.
Gu Nianzhi quickly moved away, as if she didn’t want to be stung by the smell of alcohol.
The man looked up. In his drunken haze, he saw a girl with a ponytail walk past him. He didn’t see her face, but the side profile of her face flashed past his eyes. It was extremely seductive.
When he caught up with her, he saw her back. Her waist was slim under her simple white t-shirt, and her long legs were wrapped in blue jeans. They were so straight that it made one’s imagination run wild.
If such a pair of legs were wrapped around his waist..
Damn it, he was about to get hard.
He wiped his mouth and chased after her.

Miss, are you going on stage?

Gu Nianzhi turned around and saw, for some reason, a drunk young man walking over. He was leaning against the wall and posing as if he was the most handsome man. He was grinning from ear to ear.

What stage?
Gu Nianzhi pointed in the direction of the elevator.
Are you looking for the front desk? Go up from here to the lobby on the first floor. The front desk is there.

Although the man was drunk, he wasn’t drunk to the point of being unconscious.
Hearing Gu Nianzhi’s words and looking at her temperament and appearance, he knew he had the wrong person. This girl wasn’t the lady here…
He chuckled and didn’t want to back down. He leaned over and sniffed.
What perfume are you wearing? Why does it smell so good?

As he spoke, he wanted to block her against the wall.
Gu Nianzhi finally understood that she had met a hooligan with bad intentions. In a fit of rage, she suddenly grabbed the man’s wrist and twisted it. She pulled him behind him and dragged him to a place where the surveillance cameras couldn’t see him in the corridor. She kicked him hard in the knee.
The man couldn’t stand properly and knelt down.
Gu Nianzhi grabbed his head and slammed it against the wall.

Open your dog eyes and see! You dare to provoke anyone? Are you blind?!
Gu Nianzhi was furious as she punched and kicked the man.
Gu Nianzhi, who had grown up with Huo Shaoheng in the military, was trained to deal with such perverts.
Besides, the man was already drunk, and Gu Nianzhi had pinched the numbness in his arm. His head was still hurting from the impact, and he started to wail.
The doors of the private room were pushed open one after another. Gu Nianzhi saw that someone had been alerted and immediately ran to the elevator. She heard the alarm in the corridor, and there were already security guards standing in front of the elevator door.
She cursed in her heart. She didn’t want to cause a scene and get scolded by He Chengjian. She also didn’t want Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi to know that she had caused trouble the moment she left the He family’s home..
In her moment of desperation, the door of the opposite private room suddenly opened.
Come in.

A female voice sounded and pulled her in.
Gu Nianzhi entered the private room and was about to say thank you when she suddenly saw the girl’s face. As if she had seen a ghost, she blurted out,
Bai Shuang?! Why are you here?

The girl, who was wearing the hotel’s white shirt and black pants uniform and holding a bottle of red wine in her hand, looked at her curiously.
How do you know my name? I don’t know you.
