Chapter 267 Change
Su Nanzhi had been sitting in the car for the whole morning and was actually sore all over, but when she thought about Huang Baogui and his family being at the Public Security Bureau, she felt excited and happy and in high spirits.
"Sister Kong, is Huang Baogui really related to the hostile forces?"
Although she knew that Huang Baogui was not a good person, she did not expect that Huang Baogui would have the courage to get involved with the hostile forces.
In this era where even having an affair can get you killed, being involved with hostile forces is comparable to the punishment of the entire clan in the past.
Although the nine clans will not be implicated, once Huang Baogui is sentenced, his relatives and friends will be criticized by everyone, and even their marriages will become a problem.
However, when Su Nanzhi thought about the kind of people Huang Baogui's relatives and friends were, she couldn't help but laugh.
Looking at the unconcealed smile on Su Nanzhi's face, Sister Kong couldn't help but poke her forehead.
"Please restrain yourself. Our bureau has been troubled by this matter these days."
Sister Kong's voice was filled with laughter, and there was no hint of blame in her voice.
Catching an enemy spy is a huge honor for the entire Public Security Bureau, and they will be proud to tell others about it.
Su Nanzhi realized that her reaction was too obvious and quickly restrained her expression.
She pursed her lips, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the corner of her clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Is the man who accused Huang Baogui of hiring a killer okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar cold breath mixed with a faint smell of medicine invaded her senses.
Su Nanzhi's breathing paused slightly, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a familiar tall figure.
Gu Xizhou was standing just a few steps away.
Lost weight.
This was Su Nanzhi’s first thought.
The shirt that had originally fit perfectly now hung loosely on Gu Xizhou's body, with the collar of the shirt open in a messy manner, revealing a faint scar hidden under the collarbone.
The blue stubble on his chin made him look dejected, and his right hand in a plaster cast was so glaring that it made people feel uneasy.
After not seeing each other for a month, Gu Xizhou actually made himself into this state.
Gu Xizhou noticed that Su Nanzhi's gaze lingered on him. Although he felt pain from the wound on his body, he still forced himself to raise the corners of his mouth and gave Su Nanzhi a soothing smile.
But there was an emotion in his eyes that Su Nanzhi could not understand.
Gu Xizhou's eyes carefully traced Su Nanzhi's face. Seeing that Su Nanzhi looked a little darker, but more energetic than before, Gu Xizhou felt relieved.
As long as Su Nanzhi is fine, that's enough.
"It's okay." His voice was hoarse, his eyes lingering on her clenched knuckles for a moment. "I won't die."
I don't know whether this sentence was an answer to Su Nanzhi's question or to soothe her anxiety.
Before Su Nanzhi could react, Gu Xizhou had already turned and walked towards the office nearby. His back was obviously thinner than before, but Su Nanzhi couldn't take her eyes off him.
"Xiao Su, do you know Comrade Gu?" Sister Kong's voice brought Su Nanzhi back to her senses. She said with admiration, "Comrade Gu completed the mission even after being shot twice. I heard that he is the best soldier in the army. He is really amazing."
When Su Nanzhi saw that Gu Xizhou was injured but still alive, she did not feel as relieved as she had imagined.
"Yeah, I know him." She heard her voice was unusually dry, "but... not very well."
But the sound of Gu Xizhou's heartbeat so close to her that night kept flashing through her mind.
Sister Kong didn't notice her abnormality and continued to sigh: "I heard that Comrade Gu was shot three times. He is really lucky..."
Su Nanzhi suddenly looked up, her face turned pale, and she unconsciously walked towards the interrogation room where Gu Xizhou had just disappeared.
Lucky?
What if her rebirth changed Gu Xizhou's original life trajectory?
"Hey? Xiao Su?" Sister Kong called out in confusion from behind.
Sister Kong's voice brought Su Nanzhi back to her senses. She had nothing to do with Gu Xizhou, and...
Thinking of something, Su Nanzhi stopped and turned to look at Sister Kong.
"Comrade Gu, their mission is completely over, right?"
Just as Sister Kong was about to answer, a deep voice sounded.
"Let me answer this question."
Su Nanzhi turned her head and saw a middle-aged man with ordinary looks but a pair of bright eyes.
Five minutes later.
Su Nanzhi held a cup of hot tea in her hand and looked at the middle-aged man with some uneasiness in her heart.
Relying on her memories from her past life, she recognized the man in front of her at a glance - a prominent figure in China's future political arena, who had appeared on the news broadcasts many times and even led several far-reaching national policies.
And now, he was sitting opposite her, his expression gentle, but with an authority that could not be refused.
"Comrade Su, I wanted to meet you when I was in Lingshui Village, but unfortunately I didn't have time at that time."
The leader had a smile on his face, which dimmed the brilliance in his eyes a little, making him look more like an ordinary person you would meet on the street.
"Thank you for your help in the organization."
Su Nanzhi's heartbeat quickened slightly, but she quickly calmed down. She gently put down her teacup and gave a well-placed smile. "You're being polite! Any Chinese person would do the same as me."
The leader seemed very satisfied with her response and nodded: "It's good that young people have awareness."
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then a faint smile appeared on his face.
"No wonder Xizhou was thinking about you when he was on a mission."
Su Nanzhi was stunned. She didn't expect that some serious leader would chat with her, and what the leader said made her even more surprised.
"Aren't you curious why Huang Baogui and the Lu family were arrested so quickly?"
"Huang Baogui's involvement with enemy spies is one reason, but there's another reason..."
At this point, the leader's smile widened.
Su Nanzhi's pupils trembled, and a guess emerged in her mind.
"Could it be..." Gu Xizhou.
The leader nodded. "I've watched this brat grow up, and this is the first time I've seen him care about someone so much."
"After completing this mission, he immediately asked us to use his merits to benefit the Thorough Investigation Lu family and Huang Baogui."
Although Gu Xizhou had said before that he would help her deal with Huang Baogui and take back the Su family's old house, she didn't take it to heart at that time.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xizhou would be willing to exchange his own merits of escaping death for a thorough investigation of the Lu family and Huang Baogui.
"You didn't agree to his request?"
"You didn't agree to his request, did you?" Su Nanzhi's voice was a little tense.
Her knuckles turned slightly white as she gripped the teacup.
The leader gave her a meaningful look and said with a smile, "Of course I didn't agree."
Su Nanzhi felt relieved, but then she heard the leader slowly add:
"I don't need..."
"I know." The leader interrupted her, pulling out a file from a drawer. "You've collected sufficient evidence. Someone submitted it three days ago."
Su Nanzhi was stunned: "But I haven't..."
"It's Gu Xizhou." The leader tapped the file bag with his fingertips. "He's been lying in bed for the past few days, staying up all night with a high fever, piecing together the scattered evidence you've collected into a complete chain of evidence."
The leader suddenly laughed, his expression playful. "The funniest thing is, he insisted on submitting it under your name."
"No wonder Old Gu is worried that Xizhou will be a bachelor for the rest of his life. Doing good deeds anonymously doesn't apply to pursuing lesbians."
Su Nanzhi's breathing stagnated, and the image of Gu Xizhou working at his desk late at night despite his injuries suddenly appeared in front of her.
Noticing her distraction, the leader raised his lips and continued, "That guy asked us to keep it a secret, Xiao Su, don't let it slip."
"After all, Xizhou said that all the credit for capturing Huang Baogui and the Lu family belongs to you."
