Chapter 1777



Chapter 1777: Chapter 1777 passed the Bright Road (the second is the monthly vote)

“The Chosen One?”Huo Shaoheng shook his head in amusement. “You really know how to make things up.”

“Of course! The Chosen One!”Gu Nianzhi recalled The origin of this joke and laughed so hard that she almost couldn’t stand it anymore.

“You know that people often ask ‘Am I the only one’on the Internet, and everyone gets bored of it. Whenever they see someone ask this question, everyone answers:

Yes

Only you

The unique

The limited edition! You’re a limited edition

The chosen one! You’re the Chosen One

Just like that old song from more than ten years ago, ‘you’re electricity, you’re light, you’re the only myth...\'”

Gu nianzhi winked at Huo Shaoheng and almost started singing.

Huo Shaoheng immediately called for a time-out. “Okay, okay, I know the joke. Let’s study why Qin Baye insisted on buying that land back then.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and sat down opposite Huo Shaoheng. She sat cross-legged on the sofa and rested her chin on her hand, she suggested, “I think it’s better to study why Qin Huichang and his wife went from not agreeing to sell the land to agreeing to sell it. “And we’re here to investigate their colleagues, friends, and neighbors. Wouldn’t it be better to start with that?”

Huo Shaoheng had a hunch that there was a bigger secret behind Qin Baye’s decision to buy the land. But for now, it was more realistic to investigate why the Qin couple had agreed to sell the land instead of saying no.

He nodded. “Okay, we’ll continue the investigation tomorrow.”

Gu Nianzhi reached out her hand and gave him a high-five. She smiled and said, “Okay, we’ll continue the investigation tomorrow according to the list!”

As she spoke, she turned on her phone again and sent Lu Jin a video invitation.

“Lu Jin”quickly accepted the invitation.

This time, “Lu Jin”was wearing a navy blue nightgown and was sitting on the bed. He smiled at her. “Hello, nianzhi.”

Gu Nianzhi grimaced. “Dad, is this a bad time? Are you going to bed?”

“I just went to bed, and you’re going to bed too. It’s late.””Lu Jin”said and asked, “Who’s next to you? is Mr. Peter staying at Your Place Tonight?”

Gu Nianzhi shook her head subconsciously. “No, no, he’s going back to his consulate.”

“I think it’s better for him to stay here with you.””Lu Jin”seemed to be very reasonable this time. “I’m worried about you living alone.”

“Huh?”Gu Nianzhi smiled guiltily and chuckled. “Dad, you’re So Nice!”

She blew two kisses at the video call and quickly turned it off.

Huo Shaoheng looked at her with a half-smile and said, “So I’ve crossed the Bright Road?”

“TSK! What Bright Road! Can’t you see that my dad only sees you as his bodyguard?”Gu Nianzhi put on a disdainful look.

She stood up from the sofa and stretched. “I’m sleepy too. I’m going to bed. I don’t want to eat dinner.”

Huo Shaoheng disagreed and grabbed her. “How can we not eat dinner? We’ll order takeout.”

There were no ingredients in the fridge, and he couldn’t make it. He couldn’t let Gu Nianzhi eat rice without any vegetables.

Gu Nianzhi yawned. “Then I’ll go take a shower first.”

When Huo Shaoheng was ordering, Gu Nianzhi took a shower and almost fell asleep in the bathtub.

After the takeout was delivered, Huo Shaoheng went downstairs to get it. He asked Gu Nianzhi to eat with him before sending her to bed. He went to the guest room himself.

Huo Shaoheng was very well-behaved because he was worried about Lu Jin’s surveillance. He didn’t contact Lu Yuan and didn’t even send him a text message.

The two of them worked hard for the whole day and were a little sleepy. They did not say a word the whole night and slept very comfortably.

When they woke up the next day, they started to prepare to visit the second person on their list.

This person was one of the few remaining neighbors.

However, she was the only one who remained in the country. The other two had left the country more than a decade ago.

Back then, the Qin Huichang couple lived in their own house. In the heart of C City, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, there was a small foreign house. It was at the innermost end of the alley.

This house was now worth tens of millions of dollars, but it still could not be compared to the land they had sold back then.

Their neighbors were also in the same small western-style house and were very close to each other.

However, the old man next door was also very old, even older than the old man in the nursing home. He was almost 100 years old.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the list and sighed. “Why are you so old...”

“The young ones weren’t even born yet, or even though they were, they were about the same age as Qin Suwen. They wouldn’t know so much about what happened back then.”Huo Shaoheng said as he led Gu Nianzhi into the depths of the lane.

They were dressed as ordinary tourists today. They wore big sunglasses and sun hats, SLR cameras on their chests, Apple watches on their hands, and Under Armour white sneakers on their feet.

The two of them arrived near Qin Huichang’s house. They happened to see a recliner in the front yard of the house next door. An old woman with wrinkles all over her face was lying on it, resting with her eyes closed, another middle-aged woman was beside her, taking care of her.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the appearance of the old man lying on the ground, then looked at the information they had found. She was sure that this was the living neighbor.

This was great. They didn’t have to think of a way to get into the old man’s house.

It was just in the courtyard. They could just casually chat as if they were asking for directions.

Gu Nianzhi walked over first. She held up her camera and spoke Chinese with a foreign accent, she said stiffly to the middle-aged woman, “Hello, I’m Grace. Do you mind if I take a picture of you? You’re a perfect match for this ancient building!”

She pretended to be a Chinese tourist and came up with an English name for herself, Grace.

The middle-aged woman laughed and said, “How is this an ancient building? Foreigners don’t know what’s good for them. This is obviously a modern building!”

Gu Nianzhi:”...”

This person must be the architect, that’s right.

Gu Nianzhi pretended to be not fluent in Chinese and smiled sweetly. “Okay, can you let me take a Picture?”

“No.”The middle-aged woman was unforgiving. “You can take pictures of these buildings as you please. No one is allowed to take pictures.”

Fine, she was a middle-aged woman who cared a lot about her privacy.

Gu Nianzhi could only nod and pretend to take a few pictures of the courtyard with her SLR camera.

Her camera inevitably aimed at the courtyard next to the courtyard, which was the courtyard of Qin Huichang’s small foreign house next door.

The front courtyard of the two houses was only separated by a low fence. Standing in this courtyard, she could clearly see the opposite courtyard.

Gu Nianzhi gestured for a while and asked curiously, “The courtyard over there is even more beautiful! Can I go take a look? !”

The old man who had been sleeping opened his eyes and looked at her quietly for a while. Suddenly, he asked,”... What did you say your name was?”

“Grace.”Gu Nianzhi looked back at him and tilted her head. “You’re Awake? What’s wrong? Is that a bad name?”

She stood in the middle of a cluster of blooming hydrangeas with her back facing the direction of the Sun. However, her eyes were brighter than the sun.

The old man narrowed his eyes at her, as if he saw a little girl named Grace from many years ago. She was standing on a small bench on the other side of the courtyard wall, smiling as she waved at her.

Especially her well-defined lips. When she smiled, there was a faint dimple at the corner of her mouth. It was too impressive.

It had been almost a century, but it was still deeply imprinted in her mind.

However, she did not speak again. She closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Gu Nianzhi:”...”

She looked at the middle-aged woman next to the old man in surprise. “May I ask this old lady... ?”

The expression on the middle-aged woman’s face softened. She sighed and said, “Don’t mind her. My grandmother has Alzheimer’s disease. She can’t even recognize us as her family.”

Gu Nianzhi:”...”

“But she was talking to me just now...”Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows. “She doesn’t look like she did.”

“Sometimes she’ll say something casually, but she’ll forget it after she’s done. Don’t mind her.”The middle-aged woman tucked the old man’s blanket in and made a gesture to send him off.
