Chapter 1479 - I Want To Know The Truth

Chapter 1479: I Want To Know The Truth
You want to marry her just because you’re grateful to her?
He Zhichu and He Chengjian had different emotional values, but he didn’t mean to judge. He just simply expressed that he didn’t understand.
He Chengjian turned his head away and didn’t speak for a long time.
He wouldn’t tell He Zhichu that half of marrying Qin Yaoguang was because he pitied this woman for wasting half of her life, while the other half was because of He Zhichu.
He Zhichu’s illness had been cured by Qin Yaoguang. It was said that he had fully recovered, but He Chengjian was still worried. As a father, he couldn’t help but worry.
If he really had fully recovered, he would be more than happy to do so. However, as a parent, he could not worry too much about his child’s health.
Even if Gu Nianzhi was by He Zhichu’s side, Gu Nianzhi wouldn’t know how to treat He Zhichu if he had a relapse..
He knew it was selfish to do so, but to him, ever since Suwen passed away, this was the only son he had left in his life.
This was the son of him and Suwen. No matter the price, he wanted him to live well.
He Chengjian didn’t want He Zhichu to know about this.
He looked stern and said in a low voice,
This is between Auntie Qin and me. I don’t need to explain it to you.


Then you don’t need to concern yourself with Nianzhi and me in the future!
His expression cold and stern, He Zhichu narrowed his eyes.
You’ve gone too far this time. Have you thought about the consequences if someone tries to use you?!

He Chengjian waved his hand dismissively,
No, you know that going there isn’t something an ordinary person can do. We’ve used up too much magnetic energy this time. Even if someone wanted to use it, they wouldn’t be able to. A wise woman cannot cook without rice. Without magnetic energy, everything is empty.


Really?
He Zhichu sat up straight.
It’s just to bring Nianzhi home. Do you really need to order people to torture and kill their people over there? That person is Nianzhi’s friend! Are you trying to scare her to death?!

He Chengjian was stunned for a moment and frowned.
What happened? What happened? Nianzhi said the same thing…


What did she say?
He Zhichu looked at He Chengjian with a frosty expression on his face.
She told you everything?

He Chengjian thought back to Gu Nianzhi’s words.

… You sent people to kidnap me? Why did you do that? If you really thought I was family, why would you use such a bloody method?!


… No matter the cost? So you can even kill and injure innocent people? …

What did he say at the time?

Bloody? … If you don’t cooperate, they will naturally do whatever it takes to complete the mission.

To him, he didn’t care how those people carried out the mission. As long as the mission was completed, it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes in the process.
In the outside world, military orders weren’t to be taken.
He was a soldier, so he naturally understood this.
However, this didn’t include the fact that he would allow some people to feign compliance.
He didn’t ask Gu Nianzhi’s words in detail because he didn’t care much about it. However, He Zhichu’s words forced him to think deeply about it.
Could it be that something really went wrong during the mission?
He Chengjian stood up and walked around the living room with his hands behind his back. He said in a low voice,
Nianzhi didn’t say it in detail. She only said it was a bloody method…

He looked up at He Zhichu.
What bloody method? Do you know?

He Zhichu had been invited by Huo Shaoheng to assist in the investigation. He furrowed his brows and said snappily,
Your men shot her best friend ten times in front of Nianzhi and broke her limbs. Do you think it was bloody?!


They shot her?!
He Chengjian was shocked as well.
You still need to shoot to deal with those people over there? !

The order he gave wasn’t that brutal and bloody at all. Moreover, he didn’t want to attract the attention of the other party, so the quieter the better.

How could this be?
The expression on He Chengjian’s face was livid. Just as he was about to call the five people who were carrying out the mission over for questioning, he suddenly remembered that they had already undergone the memory removal surgery!
This meant that even if there was really a problem, they knew nothing about it.
Whether it was because they had been forced to resort to extreme and bloody methods, or that someone had ordered them to go behind their backs and feign compliance, there was no evidence.
This was the first time He Chengjian was acutely aware of the drawbacks of this type of surgery.
He Chengjian’s face was ashen. He Zhichu continued to ask,
Also, what about today? What happened today?! Not to mention whether or not it was Nianzhi’s fault today, I saw that man point a gun at Gu Nianzhi with my own eyes. Wen Shouyi was holding her captive behind her back, and she was about to commit suicide with a knife!

He Chengjian didn’t even look up and said impatiently,
Didn’t we say this morning? It was Yaoguang who wanted to talk to her and pass on her medical skills to her. All she had to do was perform the memory-stripping surgery.


Nonsense!
He Zhichu punched the coffee table hard. His face was contorted with anger.
Her memories before she was 12 years old are gone. Are you going to remove all her memories from that side?! You’re just not giving her a way out!

No wonder she was so dejected that she tried to pull out her knife and commit suicide.
He Chengjian was stunned.
But, this is good for you… if she forgot about the people over there, you can start over with her.


Nianzhi is a human! She’s not a puppet controlled by you guys!
He Zhichu gritted his teeth. He approached He Chengjian and enunciated each word clearly.
Do you know when I really fell in love with her?


When?
He Chengjian was confused.
Didn’t you always like her?


No, that’s different.
He Zhichu closed his eyes to calm himself down. He placed one hand on the armrest of the sofa, crossed his legs, and took a deep breath. He said,
I actually fell in love with her over there. The person I love is that 18-year-old Gu Nianzhi.

The 18-year-old girl was so smart that it made one’s heart palpitate. She was so cute that it made one’s heart ache.
It was there that his feelings for her had unknowingly turned from affection to love.
The love between a man and a woman.

… If you remove her memories from over there, you will kill the Gu Nianzhi I love.
He Zhichu’s voice was completely cold and piercing.
Think about it, Mr. General He. If someone wanted to remove mother’s memory, would you be willing to do so?


Of course not.
He Chengjian objected instinctively.
That’s all she has. How could I let someone do that to her?


Yes, I’m the same. So there’s no need to say anything more about removing Nianzhi’s memory.
He Zhichu’s mood relaxed. He looked at him and said coldly,
If anyone wants to perform this surgery on her, I’ll give them a taste of their own medicine. I’ll let the person who performed the surgery have a taste of what it’s like to have their memory removed. It’ll help them improve their medical skills.

He Chengjian frowned and thought about it for a long time before mumbling,
… It looks like Nianzhi was right. This type of surgery definitely has a huge drawback. There’s a possibility of abuse.

He Zhichu’s heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
… What did Nianzhi do now? She’s only been back for two days, right? Why does it seem like she’s already done a lot?

He Chengjian snapped back to his senses and smiled, then said approvingly,
This young lady is especially interesting. Needless to say, she’s smart. At least she inherited more than half of that lunatic’s IQ. She’s amazing! What’s more interesting is that she’s very accomplished in the field of law. I can tell that she really likes the law. When she speaks, she never leaves the law behind. It’s indeed very interesting.

He Zhichu smiled faintly.
… When she was young, her mother doted on her very much. In the first two years, her mother personally took care of her. She was influenced by her mother, so it’s not strange that she fell in love with the law.


Do you still remember her birthday wish when she was 12 years old? She wanted to become a bigshot lawyer.
He Zhichu was immersed in the memories of the past, and his heart warmed up.
Perhaps this was indeed his chance.
Gu Nianzhi was back. Could they have more opportunities?
He Chengjian thought of his late wife and felt very anguished. Finally, he couldn’t sit still anymore. He stood up and said,
You have full authority over Nianzhi’s matters, and I don’t care. You’re right. You two decide your own decisions. I can only help you so much.

He Zhichu saw his father’s dejected expression and knew that he must have thought of his mother.
He regretted speaking too harshly just now.
He stood up as well.
I’ll send you back. Have you been taking your medicine recently?

He Chengjian immediately slowed down and waited for He Zhichu to catch up.
The father and son walked towards He Chengjian’s study.
He Chengjian’s study was on the second floor. It was a large suite with a bedroom inside.
He spent most of his time resting in his study.
The two of them had just come down from the third floor when they saw Gu Nianzhi return.
She had just completed a full set of skin care procedures.
Her skin was originally fair and delicate, but now it was as smooth as a vase. It was as if the snow-white color was coming out of her skin, exquisite and clear.
However, she still seemed to be in low spirits. When she looked at them, she appeared to be at a loss. She was no longer as confident and independent as she had been in the past.
He Zhichu sighed.
He had to heal her heart. He couldn’t let Gu Nianzhi’s spirit be defeated by this matter.
Ever since He Zhichu found Gu Nianzhi, he had kept his mouth shut about her past. He didn’t want the kind of situation today to happen again.

Let’s go. Follow me to the hospital.
He Zhichu walked over and put his arm around her shoulder.
I’ll take you to see… Auntie Qin.

Gu Nianzhi’s body visibly shrank.
… She’s dead?


No.
He Zhichu’s voice was very gentle.
It’s just an injury to her hand. How can she die so easily?

Gu Nianzhi:
…

She was still in a state of shock.
However, He Zhichu’s voice was very soothing to her.
She tugged at the corner of He Zhichu’s shirt and looked up at him. She asked in a low voice,
What’s going on? Can you tell me? My head is about to explode.

President Pushin, Vladimir, the chauffeur, Qin Yaoguang, who looked exactly like Gu Xiangwen’s wife, and Speaker Long were all the same people she could see.
And they also said
this side,

that side,
and
the other side
.
It sounded as if there really were two worlds.
Was this real?
Was it not her hallucination?
He Zhichu held her hand and found that her little palm was covered in sweat. They were ice-cold, and her body was trembling slightly.
He Chengjian watched coldly from the side. He wanted to let Gu Nianzhi know what He Zhichu had sacrificed for her…
He lifted his chin and said lightly,
Ah-Chu, you should explain it to her. Otherwise, she won’t be able to figure it out by herself. Do you want to keep her in the dark?

Gu Nianzhi calmed down and said sullenly,
I want to know the truth. Really. Tell me. As long as it’s the truth, no matter how cruel or unbelievable it is, I can accept it, but don’t lie to me.
