Chapter 95: His Ah Ci could heal and fight; her future shone brightly.

Gu Changrong had been in a state of shock ever since a moment ago.

Only when Gu Ci told him to leave with her did he finally come to himself, dazedly following in her wake.

The look he gave Gu Ci had become incomparably complicated.

At first, he had only thought she was a frail little girl, someone who could not even protect herself.

But now...

Watching her casually fling an investigator, a man a full head taller than she was, over her shoulder and smash him to the ground, she looked exactly like a lady boss!

He drew in a deep breath, and his expression soon grew resolute again.

Even if his little A Ci was a lady boss, she would still be the most elegant lady boss in the world!

Besides, there was nothing wrong with a girl having a little ability to protect herself.

At the very least, she would not be bullied simply because she lacked strength.

Thinking of this, Gu Changrong’s gaze as he examined Gu Ci once more turned warm with relief.

His A Ci truly could heal and fight alike; her future was boundless.

Gu Ci did not bother to think about what Gu Changrong was thinking.

As for the dean and the supervisor, they were even less inclined to care about Gu Changrong’s inner thoughts at the moment.

Following Gu Ci all the way to the laboratory door, their minds were entirely focused on how to keep stalling.

Just then, the investigator braced himself, limping quickly after Gu Ci and the others.

“Dean, with me here, even if they have the search warrant, you do not need to open the door for them!”

However, it was clear the investigator was still shaken, and he only followed at a distance of five whole meters from Gu Ci.

Hearing this, the dean and supervisor exchanged a glance.

Then, they simply stopped walking.

Seeing that the dean and supervisor both listened to him, the investigator felt smug.

Pointing at Gu Ci, he shouted arrogantly again.

“You little brat, listen well. You and this Gu fellow are finished! I’m from the Institute of Research and Science. I will not let you off!”

So what if Doctor Gu was some kind of celebrated orthopedic master in Quanzhou?

The Institute of Research and Science gathered the foremost scientific minds of Songdu, and his parents were important figures there as well!

What was Gu Changrong, a mere doctor, worth?

As long as he went back and said a word, Gu Changrong could forget about staying in the medical field any longer!

Gu Ci only lifted her eyelids slightly. “And the people from Green Vine?”

The investigator practically craned his nose to the sky, his arrogance and contempt written all over his face.

His tone was full of sarcasm and disdain. “For something this small, the Green Vine Research Institute was already showing us plenty of respect by sending a teacher over in person for our Songdu Institute’s sake.”

“And you think you’ll get to see that teacher again? Don’t be ridiculous.”

With that, he added haughtily, “Forget a researcher from Green Vine— even a researcher from our own institute, you wouldn’t be worthy of seeing one. You and they are simply not people from the same world.”

Gu Changrong did not like hearing this at all.

He immediately snapped at the investigator, “So you’re a researcher, are you? I have no idea what exactly you’re so proud of!”

His A Ci wanted to see a researcher, and that was somehow hopeless fantasy?

Was he not a researcher himself?

His A Ci could see him! Every single day, if she wanted!

Thinking this, Gu Changrong almost could not stop himself from revealing his identity right there in front of the others.

But unfortunately...

He endured it, drew in a deep breath, and in the end still held back.

Yet his mind could not help but sink into contemplation.

What use was this hidden identity of his if even now he could not use it to stand up for his own A Ci?

The investigator was all arrogance. “And so what if I’m not? My parents are both researchers with official serial numbers in the institute!”

“With you around, they won’t be for long.”

Gu Ci said it in a cool, level voice.

“What?” The investigator did not catch it.

For some reason, he looked at Gu Ci and Gu Changrong with even greater disdain. “Fine, what’s the point of telling you all this? Just remember that you’re about to be finished, and that’s enough!”

The level he stood at now was not something Gu Ci and Gu Changrong could ever reach in their lifetimes.

And yet they dared lay a hand on him, based solely on their identities?

They were simply courting death!

Gu Ci gave a smile that was hard to read.

She casually took a sheet of paper from the side, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it up and down in her hand.

Then she kindly reminded him, “If you don’t want your noisy mouth sealed shut, you’d better close it yourself now.”

The investigator instinctively shut his mouth.

When he realized what he had done, he glared furiously at Gu Ci.

And yet... he still did not quite dare to speak.

However, that did not stop him from doing something else.

Seeing that Gu Ci’s attention was not on him at the moment, the investigator rolled his eyes, slipped quietly into a corner, and unobtrusively pressed the emergency rescue button.

After doing all this, he let out a breath of relief and glared viciously at Gu Ci again.

“Still not opening the door?” Gu Ci looked at the dean. Her attitude was even courteous on the surface.

But the dean now could no longer connect Gu Ci with the word courteous.

This mad girl was clearly wild, vicious, and utterly ignorant of her own limits.

At this moment, the dean stood hesitating before the laboratory door, not because the search warrant was in Gu Ci’s hands, but because he was cowed by Gu Ci’s violence.

Just then, a group of imposing-looking people walked toward them.

A delighted expression instantly appeared on the investigator’s face. “Captain Yang! It’s actually you who came?”

As he spoke, he limped toward Captain Yang, his face full of honored delight.

Every researcher at the Institute of Research and Science had an emergency rescue contact on their phones.

With a single press, they would be directly connected to the safety department to prevent any danger.

But ordinary staff members like them could usually only reach ordinary safety officers.

As for his parents, if they ever encountered danger, a deputy captain would normally lead a five-person team to rescue them.

But today, the one who came was Captain Yang, and he had brought a full twelve-man team!

Captain Yang was the strongest captain in Songdu’s safety department, usually responsible for those high-security, high-clearance figures.

The investigator had never dreamed that the casual rescue call he made today would actually summon Captain Yang.

Now Gu Changrong was done for!

Thinking this, his smile widened and widened. After introducing himself to Captain Yang, he pointed in the direction of Gu Changrong and Gu Ci, shouting, “Captain Yang, I’m truly sorry to trouble you to make a trip. It was this little brat named Gu Ci—she beat me and even snatched the search warrant right out of my hands! Captain Yang, you have to teach them a lesson for me!”

Even the dean and supervisor could not help but reveal faint looks of delighted satisfaction.

Yet upon hearing this, Captain Yang frowned and gave the investigator a cold glance.
