After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal

64 Huo Jinyan’s Motive

Lu Ning flung her bag onto the sofa and laid down.

Gu Chen looked at her and smirked.

He brought something over and gave her a check-over.

“You’re much better, but you still have to take the medicine for two more days. Understand?”

Lu Ning was lying sideways and indicated that she understood with a jerk of her head.

Gu Zi clutched his laptop and sat himself on the low table beside the sofa. “Your form teacher’s a strange one.

“Huo Jinyan’s the sole heir of the Huo family in the capital, yet he’s here to be your English teacher? What’s his motive?”

Lu Ning looked at him and massaged her temples. “Beats me. Maybe he’s gone mad.”

It was rare for Gu Zi to look so serious.

Staring at the computer, he tapped the keyboard twice with his fingers.

“He’s been in A City for over ten days, but his schedule overlaps with yours a lot. Be careful.”

“Me?” Lu Ning was puzzled. “His target is me? Why? I have no power nor influence, what would he want with me?”

Gu Zi looked at her. “I’m not sure, but he keeps popping up in front of you. Now, he even became your form teacher and has been interacting with you day and night. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

Lu Ning looked at him and nodded. “Strange…”

“Right? It’s just very strange…”

Lu Ning continued eyeing him. “What’s strange, is you actually saying something that’s logical for once.”

Gu Zi: “…”

Gu Chen could not contain his laughter.

“Hey! Cut that out.”

Joking around was one thing, but Lu Ning did feel that there was something off about it.

“I saw him at the airport when I first returned to the country, then I saw him at the amusement park. Now, he’s gone on to become my form teacher. Was he around last night as well?”

They both nodded.

This much overlap was indeed a little too much.

But… Why?

She never has offended Huo Jinyan.

Unless…

Lu Ning knitted her brows as though she thought of something.

“It can’t be…”

“What do you mean?”

Lu Ning rubbed her neck and coughed.

“When I had just moved out of the Lù family, I drank too much and puked on him. Could he be holding this grudge against me? Could it be that he wants to puke right back on me?”

“…”

“…”

She could not come up with anything, so she decided to drop it.

Lu Ning sighed and sat up from the sofa. She picked up her bag and walked out.

“I’m going to class.”

“What do you want for lunch?”

Lu Ning stood at the door and pondered for a while. “Hmm… Soup dumplings.”

“Okay! Go on then.”

Lu Ning nodded and spun around to leave.

Gu Chen and Gu Zi’s expressions turned dour as they exchanged looks with each other.

“It’s definitely not a coincidence, and it’s certainly not because of the reason Little Ning thought of. However, no matter his motive, we have to protect Little Ning first. Ninth Brother, has Sixth Brother arrived?”

“He has.”

“Have them shadow Little Ning in secret. If they find Huo Jinyan, one of them will separate and follow him.”

“Okay.”

“I want to see what he’s up to.”

Gu Zi looked at the computer display and closed it with a grim look.

“Actually, there’s something I didn’t mention.”

“What?”

“I suspect Huo Jinyan’s visit to A City is related to a hacker.”

“Who?”

“Z.”

“Z?”

“Yes. According to what I found, Huo Jinyan and Old Master Huo had been attacked a few times in the capital, and the only clue we can find on these is Z.”

“Z is in A City now?”

“At least, that’s what Huo Jinyan believes. Plus, I investigated Z in detail and found that his techniques are very similar to that little disciple Little Ning introduced to me…”
