"I will come back as soon as possible." He Zhichu frowned, remembering that he had just said that he would go to the hospital tomorrow to confirm Seth's injury, but he couldn't go now.
Gu Nianzhi held He Zhichu's schedule and case progress chart, and looked up at He Zhichu. His pair of twinkling peach blossom eyes lost their coldness and indifference, and became more anxious and guilty.
Gu Nianzhi bit his lip. Professor He was actually worried about his father, right
What happened
If He Zhichu didn't say anything, it would be hard for her to pry. She nodded obediently, "I'll go to the hospital with Smith tomorrow to see Seth's injury. Professor He doesn't have to worry."
He Zhichu raised the corners of his lips and smiled as hard as he could, "I'm not worried, he won't get a favor in front of you."
He Zhichu seemed to have returned to his previous speaking tone, and Gu Nianzhi was a little unsure of what he meant.
It seemed like he was praising her, but he might also be mocking her.
He Zhichu used to like to speak in an eccentric manner, but he has gotten better these days, but when he said this again today, could it be because he was too worried about his father, so he showed his true colors and looked a little meaner
It didn't matter, Gu Nianzhi expressed his forgiveness in his heart.
Parents are the biggest in the world. Although Gu Nianzhi can't remember what her parents look like, she can understand other people's feelings for their parents.
"...Professor He, you are leaving tonight. Have you bought a ticket?" Gu Nianzhi changed the subject and glanced around He Zhichu's suite, but did not see him packing his suitcase.
He Zhichu nodded slightly, "I have already booked a flight. The flight is at one o'clock in the morning." He looked at his watch, "There are still three hours."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Gu Nianzhi was very surprised, "Won't you let your special plane take you back?"
In Gu Nianzhi's opinion, He Zhichu should take his own private plane home, right
He Zhichu lowered his eyes to look at her, his peach blossom eyes flashing, "It's too slow for them to pick me up. It will take seven or eight hours to fly here. I can't wait."
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "Understood, Professor He, is your father sick?"
Otherwise, why would you be so anxious that you can't even wait for your own plane
"Hmm... I heard that I was injured yesterday and I just woke up today." He Zhichu suppressed his anxiety and said, "I may need a craniotomy. The family can't make up my mind. I have to go back."
"Professor He, don't worry, your father will be fine." Gu Nianzhi calmed down and comforted him softly, "If something really happened, your family must have informed you yesterday, right?"
He Zhichu was startled, thinking that what Gu Nianzhi said made sense, but soon he pursed his lips again, not daring to take the risk.
He Zhichu put a hand on Gu Nianzhi's shoulder, putting it on very lightly without exerting any force. Gu Nianzhi didn't notice anything strange at all.
"Nianzhi, are you willing to go back with me?" He Zhichu's voice was still cold and cold, but that was just an appearance, like a volcano covered with snow, with an icy exterior and a fiery interior that was about to explode.
Gu Nianzhi didn't expect He Zhichu to invite her to his home, so he couldn't help scratching his head. He didn't want to refuse openly, so he could only laugh and ramble: "Professor He, why are you so embarrassed? Your family should be in a hurry right now. Why should I cause trouble? Besides, the lawsuit here is not over yet, so I don’t want to go anywhere."
He Zhichu retracted his hand and smiled slightly awkwardly.
He didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to agree to go home with him now, but he couldn't help it for the moment.
In fact, even if she agreed, he couldn't take her back now.
It's not time yet.
Because of this sudden topic, both He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi were silent, and no one spoke for a while.
Gu Nianzhi felt an indescribable awkwardness in the air.
She coughed slightly and cleared her throat.
He Zhichu quickly changed the subject, "Well, school is about to start. I will tell them at the school that I will give you internship credits."
He Zhichu knew that Gu Nianzhi attached great importance to this case, and she was already a master's degree student in the law department. Fighting lawsuits outside was a good training, and it was more legitimate than an internship like serving tea and water at a law firm.
"Thank you, Professor He!" Gu Nianzhi's eyes lit up and he was extremely happy.
She was worried and didn't want to go back to school. She wanted to finish the lawsuit from beginning to end, and she had to see Seth, this evil man, be sentenced to life imprisonment in order to relieve her anger.
He Zhichu patted her shoulder and said, "Go back to sleep. From now on, it will be up to you and your colleagues to work together."
Gu Nianzhi bowed deeply to He Zhichu, "Professor He, don't worry, I will do my best to win these two lawsuits."
"Okay, I believe you, go back to sleep now." After He Zhichu said that, he turned to enter the bedroom.
Gu Nianzhi said to his back: "Professor He, let me take you to the airport."
"No need." He Zhichu walked in without looking back, "I have to explain to the other four people, you go back to your room."
Gu Nianzhi could only say "Oh" and went back to his room holding the two forms.
He Zhichu just made a phone call to the other four assistants and told them that he had an urgent matter at home and had to rush back overnight so that they could discuss it with Gu Nianzhi and push forward the lawsuit.
If it doesn't work, try your best to delay the progress and wait for him to come back.
He Zhichu estimated that he would be back for at most two weeks. If it was quick, he might be back in a week. He would definitely be back before the civil case started, so he didn't say much.
The assistants didn't care. They were all independent barristers in the United States. It was just that He Chu was more powerful than them, so they became his assistants. If they were to litigate alone, these people would also be good players.
…
Gu Nianzhi returned to his room, put on his pajamas and climbed into bed. He read the German legal provisions silently for a while, until he was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, and then fell down to sleep.
Before going to sleep, she looked up and looked out the window.
The blinds were not lowered, so one could directly see the starry sky outside.
In the dark blue night sky, stars twinkled and occasionally a small red dot appeared, which was a night flight plane.
Gu Nianzhi squinted his eyes for a while, wondering if that was the plane Professor He was on.
While he was worried about He Zhichu's family affairs, Gu Nianzhi felt his eyelids getting heavier and slowly fell asleep.
At this time, in the Munich Regional Hospital, Ramona was crying so hard that her eyes were swollen, and she was standing guard outside the operating room.
Her son Seth, who has a bruised nose and face, is now receiving first aid inside.
Several tall policemen stood guard at the door with expressionless faces.
This is the treatment of serious criminals. Although Seth's case has not yet been concluded, the bad influence is destined to be closely guarded wherever he is.
…
Gu Nianzhi woke up the next day and found that it was already past nine in the morning.
Nowadays, Hechu calls her to wake her up at seven o'clock every morning and goes to have breakfast with her. She is used to it.
No one called her today and she actually overslept.
Fortunately there is no need to appear in court today.
Gu Nianzhi sat up from his bed, secretly thinking that habit is really a terrible thing...
After washing, she went to the restaurant in the lobby to have breakfast. She called Smith on the way and asked him when it would be convenient for him to go to the hospital to check on Seth's condition.
He Zhichu had told Smith about this yesterday, and Smith's lazy voice came from the phone: "Gu, have you had breakfast? If so, we can leave now."
He got up early. These days he is running between the law firm branch and the hotel, and is almost twice as busy as others, so he is used to going to bed late and getting up early.
Gu Nianzhi said hurriedly: "I just finished eating, shall we leave now?"
"Okay, where are you?" Smith picked up his briefcase, "I'll go to the hospital first, and then to the branch. What about you?"
Gu Nianzhi thought for a moment, stirred the spoon in the coffee cup unconsciously, and said, "Go to the hospital first, and come back to sort out the recent court trial records."
Smith nodded and secretly said that she was indeed a very hard-working student and very smart. No wonder Professor He held her in his palm.
While talking, Smith had already arrived at the lobby restaurant downstairs and saw Gu Nianzhi standing up from the dining table.
Today she was wearing a navy blue heavy silk dress with quarter sleeves, revealing her white forearms, and an inconspicuous watch on her left wrist.
But Smith is also from a well-established family known as "old-money" in the United States. She has seen many good things. After just one glance, she was attracted by her watch.
A very simple and elegant style, but the details are extremely exquisite and luxurious. At first glance, it looks like the kind of customized model that even money can't buy.
When I walked in, I saw BVLGARY, the king of mechanical watches.
He was slightly startled, when did BVLGARY produce customized models
Looking at Gu Nianzhi again, his eyes couldn't help but change.
Compared with the casual banter before, there is now a hint of cautious friendliness, which gives people a completely different feeling.
Gu Nianzhi was also a human spirit. Smith came over and glanced at her wrist, then his attitude completely changed. She saw clearly, but said nothing, as if she didn't know.
Carrying his own Chanel Le-Boy bag, wearing a large wide-brimmed sun hat with a net, and a slight smile on his face, he walked beside Smith.
The two were still talking quietly, but Smith became more respectful to her, maintaining his grace and propriety calmly. After walking out of the hotel door, Smith called their car and took them directly to the Munich Regional Hospital.
This hospital is in an old castle, with pointed towers, small windows, and white screens half-covering the windows. There is a small flowerbed on the windowsill of each window, with rose red and bright purple flowers planted there. Morning glories covered the entire window sill.
Gu Nianzhi got out of the special car, raised his head and squinted at the castle-like hospital in front of him, and said with a chuckle: "How old is this hospital? The color is a bit gloomy."
Moss grows on the bottom of the mottled stone exterior wall, and even the steps are in their original state.
Smith searched on his cell phone and said, "This old castle has a history of more than two hundred years, but it has only been a hospital for a few decades. It has been completely renovated in the past ten years, so the inside should be no different from other hospitals."
