Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1571: Countering A Move As It Comes

She had actually pounced on her so quickly.

It was half an hour earlier than she had expected.

This Qin Yaoguang did not seem like a person who could not keep her cool, so how anxious was she...

Gu Nianzhi sighed in her heart and slowly raised her head. The silent smile on her face instantly turned sharp, like a sharp sword that had just been unsheathed, like a treasured blade that had just been unsheathed. The three-foot-long edge of the blade suddenly grew, as if a cold light was shooting out from her dark jade-like eyes.

She did not say a word. She only raised her eyes and made Qin Yaoguang, who had just pounced on her, stop in her tracks.

But very quickly, her gaze softened, and the cold and stern look from before disappeared without a trace.

When she completely raised her head, her face had a proper expression of confusion, along with a trace of fear and terror. It appeared naturally on her small face, the size of a palm. One could not help but feel pity for her.

Gu Nianzhi huddled against the back of her wheelchair and whispered, “Young Master He, who is she?”

Her voice was very weak, but it was still clearly heard through the Bluetooth headset she was wearing.

With just this one sentence, she had shifted the focus to something else.

Everyone had almost completely forgotten Qin Yaoguang’s “who can survive the anti-materiel rifle?” Everyone’s attention had instantly shifted to the relationship between the mother and daughter.

At least one-third of the people in the hall knew that Gu Nianzhi was He Zhichu’s fiancée. They also knew that she was Qin Yaoguang’s daughter. They also knew that she had suddenly disappeared at the birthday party eight years ago.

Eight years later, He Zhichu finally found her.

But when she opened her mouth, she did not seem to know Qin Yaoguang at all.

Not only was Qin Yaoguang stunned, but everyone in the hall was also stunned.

Only He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi with a calm expression. He said calmly, “You still haven’t remembered?”

Gu Nianzhi shook her head, and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

She looked up and down at Qin Yaoguang, who was standing below the stage, and said politely, “Hello, May I ask who you are? Don’t you have the wrong person?”

Wondering what Gu Nianzhi was up to, Qin Yaoguang narrowed her eyes?

She knew she was her biological mother!

Was she going to deny her biological mother?

Qin Yaoguang’s expression turned cold.

She had all the evidence to prove that she was her biological mother, and she still wanted to deny it?

Even if He Zhichu hated her to the core, he couldn’t deny it.

Qin Yaoguang’s eyes sparkled as she said sternly, “Nianzhi, you really don’t remember me? Sigh, it looks like your injuries are really serious. I already said so that they couldn’t just find a bogus doctor to perform surgery on you. Look at the aftereffects...”

Gu Nianzhi felt very uncomfortable hearing that. Bogus doctor? How dare she have the face to talk about others? !

She interrupted her rudely and said in a low voice, “Please don’t insult others’ profession. Miss, may I ask what you do for a living? Why did you call the doctor who saved me a bogus doctor?”

He Zhichu’s hands were in the pockets of his tuxedo as he stood idly to the side. He had a smile on his face, and his sparkling almond-shaped eyes shone with a charming light. He raised his chin with interest. “... She’s Qin Yaoguang. She’s also a doctor, the Dean of Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital, and a specialist in brain surgery.”

“So it’s Dean Qin.”Gu Nianzhi’s tone softened, she smiled. “So that’s how it is. I’ll take it that you’re in the same line of work and hate each other. It’s understandable, but it’s too mean for you to call someone a bogus doctor. It’s too vulgar.”

Qin Yaoguang’s face was a little red, but she said sternly, “I’m such a straightforward person. I don’t beat around the bush when I speak.”

“Oh, that’s really like an earthworm turning into a demon. Are this always this stubborn?” Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help laughing. “Dean Qin, you’re so funny.”

The people in the hall couldn’t help laughing.

The tense atmosphere from before instantly dissipated.

Qin Yaoguang was annoyed by her words, but she also realized that Gu Nianzhi was playing dumb! Pretending to have amnesia!

It looked like she really wanted to get rid of her biological mother...

Qin Yaoguang felt even more pressured. If Gu Nianzhi took advantage of the He family’s influence and insisted on drawing a line between them, what could she do?

There was really nothing she could do.

But what about her plans, her research, and her scientific research results?

And her lifelong happiness — the last chance to redeem He Chengjian. What could she do?

Qin Yaoguang was starting to regret being so harsh on her. She might as well be a loving mother first. Perhaps there was more to it...

But it was too late to regret now.

Besides, she really did not have any mother-daughter feelings for her. Why was there a need to pretend?

Qin Yaoguang clenched her fists and tried her best to control herself to suppress the anger in her heart. She said in a kind manner, “You child, you used to tease your mommy like this in the past, and now you’re saying it again. Forget it, I won’t lower myself to your level, but are your injuries really alright? I heard that it was from an anti-materiel rifle... an anti-materiel rifle that can pierce through armor... if it hits a person, even an iron man would be torn to pieces...”

Gu Nianzhi cursed Qin Yaoguang in her heart for being both poisonous and stupid. She was really courting death by saying that she had been injured in public.

She continued to be “confused.””Dean Qin, may I ask what you’re talking about? What anti-materiel rifle? I don’t understand...”

She tilted her head to look at He Zhichu beside her and asked with a puzzled expression, “Young Master He, didn’t I get cut by someone with a knife? Why did Dean Qin insist that it was an anti-materiel rifle?”

He Zhichu nodded, then smiled faintly and said, “I’m also very curious. Nianzhi was cut by a gangster more than a month ago and was hospitalized for more than a month. She was only able to sit up just now. Dean Qin suddenly said that she was hit by an anti-materiel rifle. Tsk, do you know what an anti-materiel rifle is?”

Qin Yaoguang’s heart sank.

He Zhichu was going to join Gu Nianzhi and lie in public?

She clearly remembered He Chengjian telling her that Gu Nianzhi had been hit by an anti-materiel rifle and needed to find a good cardio surgeon to operate on her!

How did it become “slashed by a knife” after more than a month?

So many powerful people in the hall looked at her with interest. Qin Yaoguang straightened her back even more.

She couldn’t stand being publicly slandered like this, or having her professional integrity questioned.

But He Chengjian was the one who had told her about this. She couldn’t drag He Chengjian into this.

She cursed Gu Nianzhi in her heart for being sly, cunning, and unscrupulous. Her face was cold, and she said ambiguously, “Of course I knew. That’s why I’m surprised. I want to know how she was cured. She was on the verge of death... but Young Master He denied it with her. I don’t know what to say. Should I tell you who told me?”

“Tell me. Who told you?” Gu Nianzhi calmly “induced” her.

That operation was a military secret.

Qin Yaoguang should never have known that Qin Zhining was the sniper.

Gu Nianzhi wanted to see how vicious and stupid Qin Yaoguang could be to reveal military secrets in public!

Qin Yaoguang realized that Gu Nianzhi was provoking her. The name “He Chengjian” was tossed around in her mouth a few times, and the muscles on her face twitched. In the end, her rationality prevailed over her emotions. She glared at Gu Nianzhi, then gritted her teeth and said,”... right? I must have remembered wrong. It wasn’t a rifle. It was a knife wound...”

Gu Nianzhi chuckled and tilted her head. She said cheekily, “Huh? Dean Qin seemed very disappointed. Could it be that Dean Qin wanted me to be hit by the rifle instead of being cut by a knife? I can assure you that being cut by a knife really hurts. My back hurts so much that I can’t even see anyone...”

She grimaced again and smiled. “I remember Dean Qin saying just now that I was your daughter, and the greatest miracle in your life. Tsk, do you really want the greatest miracle in your life to die an unnatural death?”

Gu Nianzhi’s voice was soft and pleasant to the ear. The high definition of the Bluetooth headset reverberated in the hall, making it exceptionally loud.

The shock caused Qin Yaoguang’s facial muscles to twitch continuously. Her expression was ferocious, and she was on the verge of exploding.

Everyone in the hall recalled Qin Yaoguang’s sobbing “motherly call,” and couldn’t help exchanging a knowing look.

Before Qin Yaoguang could react, Gu Nianzhi said in a flat tone, “But if you insist that I’m your daughter, then so be it. I was sent to the He family from the age of six until I was 20 years old anyway. In the past 14 years, as a mother, you’ve never done your duty as a mother. Even if I hadn’t lost my memory, it would be normal that I don’t remember you.”

Wen Shouyi saw that the situation was not looking good, so she rushed forward to support Qin Yaoguang, who was on the verge of losing it. She smiled gently and said, “Nianzhi, don’t say that. Auntie Qin sent you to the He family for your own good. Otherwise, how could you be engaged to Young Master He? Isn’t that right?”

“Besides, there are all kinds of parents in the world. No matter what, Auntie Qin is your biological mother. Now that you’ve grown up, you’ve forgotten who gave birth to you. That’s not good. You can’t be unfilial!”

Gu Nianzhi coughed lightly and held her chest as she lowered her head. She said awkwardly, “Can the two of you agree before you speak? You want me to be filial to her, and she wants me to die. So you’re saying that in order to be filial to her, I have to die? Otherwise, it would be unfilial?”

“Is that what you’re saying? Why do you want me to die? Is it for her? If you want her to be your mother, you can take her I don’t need her. I really don’t remember.”

Appearing so wronged that she was on the verge of tears, Gu Nianzhi rubbed her head.

Wen Shouyi looked at Gu Nianzhi with a livid expression.

She knew it. This woman was good at pretending to be innocent because she was young!

She looked at He Zhichu and opened her mouth. She really wanted to expose Gu Nianzhi’s hypocrisy and viciousness.

He Zhichu did not even look at her. He bent down to comfort Gu Nianzhi.

He patted her on the shoulder and straightened up. He nodded to the people in the hall. “Sorry for making a fool of myself. I wanted to take this opportunity to announce something to everyone today.”

He looked at Gu Nianzhi with a gaze full of affection, but his voice was cold and clear. Every word seemed to be dug out from the bottom of his heart. “From today onwards, Gu Nianzhi is my sister. Whoever goes against her will be going against me, He Zhichu, and the He family!”
