    Gu Nianzhi wasn’t encouraged by He Zhichu’s words but actually felt even more worried. She frowned at He Zhichu. “Professor He, are you sure? Or do you already know who did this? If you know, shouldn’t you call the American police and provide them with leads?” Could he possibly want to go catch the mastermind himself?!


    He Zhichu stirred the little silver spoon in his ck coffee as he looked down to reply coolly, “Why would I call the police? These are a bunch of fearless criminals. I don’t know where they live or have any evidence to prove theymitted this crime. This is all my own conjecture. How can you ask me to call the police?”


    Gu Nianzhi was rendered speechless by He Zhichu’s retort. After mulling over it for a while, she found an excuse and giggled. “I already said it before; Professor He is the onlywyer in the world who canpletely convince me!”


    “How manywyers have you ever met? Aren’t you ashamed to say that kind of thing?” Although He Zhichu said it like that, he still had a smile on his face and appeared much more rxedpared to his aloof and cool face earlier. “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to me. When the timees, I’ll be sure to bring back Ye Xuan unharmed for you.”


    “Professor He, you must be careful.” Gu Nianzhi bit her lip. “You’d still better wait for the Police Headquarters to send officers over there and go with them. There are always experts in every field, and you can be in charge of Ye Xuan’s legal affairs. When ites to safety concerns, leave it to the Police Headquarters.” Gu Nianzhi thought that Huo Shaoheng would probably send some support there, but they worked discreetly, so they didn’t inform He Zhichu.


    “It’s best that the Police Headquarters doesn’t send anyone over to the United States. They’ll be mere cannon fodder and die abroad if they go,” He Zhichu replied coolly. “It’s enough for me to go. It won’t be good for youter on if they sacrifice themselves for your case.”


    Gu Nianzhi gasped. Her curvy lips parted slightly to reveal the edge of two pearly white teeth reflecting on her light pink lips. She appeared tense and nervous. “It’s that dangerous?! Then is it really ok for Professor He to go by himself?!”


    He Zhichu thought Gu Nianzhi looked very cute when she worried about him like that, so he smiled at her for a while. Then he got up to go to the bedroom and brought out a pale rose gold phone to give to Gu Nianzhi. “Take this. If you aren’t able to call me using another phone in the future, try using this phone.”


    Gu Nianzhi epted the phone and fiddled with it curiously. “What’s the phone number for this? Why am I only using this one when other phones can’t reach you? Professor He, you have high technology, too?!” The exterior of the phone wasn’t special at all, but the material of the phone was obviously very high quality. Rose gold colors often looked very cheap, but this one had a hint of silver in the base, so it instantly appeared elegant. It felt very nice in the hand and molded nicely into it.


    He Zhichu chuckled. “There is no phone number for this. It can only call my number.” He opened up the contact list and as promised, there was only one number saved with the name “He Zhichu” written next to it.


    Gu Nianzhi was speechless. A phone without a number that could only call He Zhichu? That’s amazing, my Professor! Gu Nianzhi’s eyes rolled around, and it was obvious from one nce that she was full of questions but didn’t dare to ask them.


    He Zhichu stroked her head and also tucked a silky strand of hair behind her ear. He said quietly, “Take this for now, and in the future, I’ll find a chance to tell you.” He paused, then continued, “It was my fault that you were in danger in Germanyst time. That will never happen again.” He squeezed Gu Nianzhi’s hand and wrapped the phone in her palms. “As long as you have this phone on you, no one will be able to ever stop you from calling me again.”


    Gu Nianzhi recalled her situation of not being able to cry out to the heavens or earth when she got in trouble in Germanyst time. The fear was still in her heart as she instinctively squeezed the phone and murmured, “Is this phone really that amazing?”


    “Yeah, you have to take it with you all the time.” He Zhichu was very regretful that he hadn’t given this phone to Gu Nianzhi earlier. But then again, He Zhichu wouldn’t have known who the person behind all this was if Gu Nianzhi hadn’t gotten in danger in Germany. That time, Gu Nianzhi suffered a huge loss, but the person plotting to kill her also revealed themselves. However, He Zhichu hadn’t yet decided how to handle this situation.


    “Ok.” Gu Nianzhi chose to believe He Zhichu this time. Existing technological means couldn’t guarantee cell signals from being intercepted, so perhaps He Zhichu’s phone did have something special about it.


    “As long as I’m here, my phone will always stay on for you.” He Zhichu walked Gu Nianzhi outside. “But if I have to go home when something happens, and youe across a problem you can’t solve, you can call this phone, and I’ll be sure to get your call.”


    Gu Nianzhi nodded. “Thank you, Professor He, for the concern.”


    “Who will be concerned about you, aside from me?” He Zhichu said with a half smile. He sighed to himself when he noticed Gu Nianzhi blush and appear like she didn’t want to hear that. But when he thought about how Gu Nianzhi had already broken up with Huo Shaoheng, he knew he still had a chance and more time, since they had all the days ahead of them.


    ....


    Late that night, He Zhichu’s private jet whistled as it ascended into the air and headed towards the United States. At the same time, Gu Yanran stood before the French windows in her vi in Xiangshan. Draped in a linen-colored cashmere poncho, she hugged herself as she quietly looked out at the night sky.


    Jin Wanyi walked inside with an exhausted face. “Yanran, I heard that the Police Headquarters has already sent a letter to the United States requesting their cooperation on the case in extraditing Ye Xuan back to the Hua Xia Empire for trial. Are you prepared to confront Ye Xuan?”


    Gu Yanran appeared very calm. “He hasn’t even returned to the Hua Xia Empire yet. Why are you worried about it?”


    “How can I not be worried? The idea you had started out pretty good, but unfortunately...” Jin Wanyi shook her head. “Quickly think of a solution now. Otherwise, we’re both done for as soon as hees back.”


    Jin Wanyi finally left Gu Yanran’s home veryte in the night. As soon as she was gone, Gu Yanran used her own phone to directly call that invalid number, but no one picked up as usual. On social media, the topic about Ye Xuan’s case that Gu Yanran had hired someone to create publicity for had already gone viral. She thought about also leaking news about the Police Headquarters’ n to send personnel over to extradite Ye Xuan back to the Hua Xia Empire to the influencers as well.


    As expected, the news caused a new wave of social media attention on the Ye Xuan case. The incident was so big now, that person should definitely see it? Gu Yanran’s sleepiness overcame her, and she quickly washed up in the bathroom before going to bed. As soon as sheid down, she heard her phone chime once. Afterwards, a nonsense text message leaped onto the screen.


    “!!!” Three blood-red exmation marks that resembled three blood-stained sticks or three long swords filled with rage appeared. Gu Yanran signed deeply. She knew that person had received the news now, so she could finally get a good night’s sleep.


    ...


    He Zhichu’s private jet wasn’t able to directlynd at the Little Rock Canyon airport because it was too small of a town and had no customs. He needed tond at the Salt Lake City International Airport, which was where the state capital of Utah was located. It was a four-hour drive from Salt Lake City to Little Rock Canyon, and on the way they needed to go through an uninhabited interstate highway.


    When He Zhichu got off his private jet, the action team leader of the Whitewater Security Company, Little A, was already waiting for him. Little A was a Caucasian man in his thirties and had joined a mercenary group when he was in his teens. Afterwards, he joined the Whitewater Security Company and became its backbone force. “Mr. He, we meet again.” Little A smiled as he opened his arms to invite him for a hug.


    He Zhichu didn’t even look at him as he expressionlessly walked forward. “Is everything prepared? This time things will be even more dangerous than seven years ago. You’d better not fail miserably with this easy task.”


    “Hehe, I’m also better than I was seven years ago... Mr. He, believe me. This is America, so it belongs to our Whitewater Security Company.” Little Aughed heartily. “The former vice president is a major shareholder. Who would we be afraid of?”


    He Zhichu walked to his private car and stopped. Turning around to nce at Little A, he remarked dryly, “This time you need to equip each team member with two semi-automatic sub machine guns and four pistols. Also, you need to deploy two armored helicopters and at least six bulletproof vehicles. Additionally, there are a total of 67 areas along the interstate highway between here and Little Rock Canyon that can be used as sniping points. No need to send personnel to guard positions, but you must nt timed explosives there. The bulletproof vehicles need to be equipped with thetest integrated mortar systems, but the cars themselves need to survive mortar attacks.”


    Little A was confused. “Mr. He, are you nning to fight in a limited local war here in the United States?” So many wartime provisions were typically only used in the battlefields in the Middle East!
