Chapter 175: Won’t Your Conscience Hurt?
The thing wasn’t too heavy, but Gu Qingjiu couldn’t guess what was inside.
Deliveries nowadays all made use of QR codes, so other than the names, one wouldn’t be able to tell its contents.
She carried the box all the way to the Chief Instructor’s office. When she arrived there, it was silent, and no one was around.
She looked around her and made sure that she was alone.
Gu Qingjiu remembered Huo Yingcheng’s orders, so she didn’t let anyone know. She quietly walked inside the office and placed the parcel down before leaving straightaway.
But when she reached the door, a sudden breeze of frosty air a.s.saulted her.
He Niancheng’s silhouette appeared from the corner outside the office, scaring the wits out of Gu Qingjiu.
His posture was perfectly straight while his exquisitely sculpted face revealed a hint of surprise.
“Chief… Chief Instructor, good afternoon!”
For her to be caught red-handed entering his office without asking for his permission made her feel a little guilty.
He Niancheng gazed at her, as if not realizing the parcel inside the office yet.
“What are you doing here?”
His tone was unspeakably cold.
He frowned slightly, and his expression turned stern.
It was as if he was displeased at Gu Qingjiu for entering his office without his permission.
Gu Qingjiu could sense that, and her heart shuddered. She apologized, “I’m sorry, Chief Instructor. I…”
She was still in the middle of wondering whether she should keep it a secret when He Niancheng s.h.i.+fted his body and turned his line of sight to the parcel on his table.
He walked past Gu Qingjiu and strode into his office. When he saw the parcel, his voice became colder. “I don’t like that you’re making your own decisions to give me something.”
Gu Qingjiu stood unmoving at her original spot, feeling frightened. She tried to explain, “That… It’s Commander Huo’s…”
He Niancheng abruptly turned around as his gaze locked on Gu Qingjiu’s form. The frown between his brows deepened. “This is your gift for him?”
Gu Qingjiu immediately shook her head and sold Huo Yingcheng out without hesitation. “Commander Huo instructed me to collect his parcel and to leave it in your office without you catching me in the act. I… I…”
‘I didn’t expect you’d catch me.’
He Niancheng seemed to laugh out of anger.
His mouth twitched into a sneer, and the surrounding temperature made a drastic drop!
The weather was already cold enough to make her s.h.i.+ver, and this just added on to that.
“Call Huo Yingcheng and ask him to get his a.s.s down now.”
With that statement, Gu Qingjiu immediately called Huo Yingcheng.
Seeing that He Niancheng was already sitting at his desk and clearing his doc.u.ments, she inched to the door slowly.
When Huo Yingcheng answered the call, his voice was still boisterous. “Have you collected the parcel?”
“I’ve collected it!” Gu Qingjiu then continued softly, “Commander Huo, I think we’re fated to be unlucky. I’ve just placed the parcel down when the Chief Instructor caught me…”
“…”
Huo Yingcheng remained silent for a few seconds before he sighed. “And so you sold me out?”
Gu Qingjiu felt ashamed. “I was just scared that the Chief Instructor would scold me…”
He Niancheng appeared too suddenly. If it was any other person, their hearts would probably jump out of their throats.
He was so menacing. In order to protect herself, Gu Qingjiu had no choice but to sell Huo Yingcheng out!
Furthermore, if he collected the parcel on his own, this wouldn’t have happened!
“Aish, when you gave me away, didn’t your conscience hurt?”
Gu Qingjiu replied, “Nope, it didn’t!”
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
