Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 997: Chapter 993: Find a Hacker

Of course, in the end, Huo Sining didn’t really tell Gu Xu about the Water-Repelling Pearl and the Heavenly Eye in detail. It wasn’t because she didn’t trust Gu Xu or wanted to intentionally hide it, but mainly because she was a little worried.

Firstly, such things are too fantastical and outrageous, and she wasn’t sure if Gu Xu could accept it in a short period once she said it;

Secondly, this was an international phone call, and she wasn’t sure if talking about these things on the phone was safe, so to be safe, she thought it would be better to arrange another time to talk to Gu Xu face-to-face about these things.

However, Huo Sining did agree to Gu Xu’s suggestion to treat Elder Qin. In fact, ever since Huo Sining learned about Qin Lianshan’s illness from Zhou Shitao, she already had this thought in her mind. Even if Gu Xu hadn’t suggested it, she would have tried to find a way to help Qin Lianshan.

It’s just that even Huo Sining herself wasn’t sure whether her Spiritual Energy could help in treating this cancer.

Although she had treated Huang Chengyi’s and Lu Ruiqi’s paralysis, and even treated Gu Xu’s gunshot wound, these were all relatively small ailments. In dealing with a malignancy like cancer, she wasn’t confident she could succeed, but regardless of the outcome, she still wanted to try.

Gu Xu was very efficient. Huo Sining gave him a week, but three days later, Huo Sining unexpectedly received a call, asking her to pick up a package at a certain place.

Huo Sining felt a bit surprised but still went, and when she arrived at the specified location and saw a certain someone standing under the luxurious hotel, she was dumbfounded.

”What are you doing here?”

The person who came was none other than Gu Xu.

Gu Xu looked quite composed: ”I came to deliver a package to you.”

There’s a logistics company for deliveries, why did you need to come? Huo Sining rolled her eyes at Gu Xu, but her eyes were full of smiles, clearly very pleased with Gu Xu’s surprise visit.

”You suddenly showed up without any heads-up, going abroad every few days; have you settled everything at your company?”

Gu Xu nodded with a smile: ”After working hard for a year, I need a break too. I promised last time to come and accompany you, but I didn’t make it, so I’m here to make it up to you, to give you a surprise.”

Huo Sining nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips as her gaze fell on the large box behind Gu Xu: ”Is this what I asked for?”

Gu Xu nodded and said, ”I’ve been looking tirelessly for these in the past few days. Once we go through them, see if everything’s there.”

Huo Sining’s attention was fixated on the big box as she followed Gu Xu to his hotel room. Before long, hotel staff brought the box to the room, and Huo Sining eagerly opened it, rummaging through the contents inside.

”How is it? Is everything there? Is there anything missing?” Gu Xu asked.

Huo Sining shook her head, very pleased: ”No, everything’s here.”

Gu Xu promptly sought recognition: ”I’ve worked hard for several days for this; is there any reward for me?”

Huo Sining looked up at Gu Xu, suddenly chuckling, and lightly kissed him on the lips.

Gu Xu’s eyes darkened instantly, and as Huo Sining was about to withdraw, he suddenly pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply without a second word.

A deep and urgent kiss that left Huo Sining’s head spinning, completely melting in Gu Xu’s embrace.

Gu Xu looked smug: ”Darling, it’s not easy coming all this way to throw myself into your arms. Why not just take your man in?”

This guy grew more and more shameless! Huo Sining’s face turned bright red, and she pushed Gu Xu away with displeasure.

Being pushed away by Huo Sining, Gu Xu didn’t mind. He flipped onto his back skillfully and lay on his side on the bed, propping his head with one hand, and looking at Huo Sining seriously: ”Darling, what do you plan to do next? Do you need your man to lend a hand and back you up?”

Huo Sining paused, her hand holding a scroll from the box halted for a moment, and she looked steadily at Gu Xu: ”What?”

Gu Xu smiled and suddenly sprang up from the bed, standing up straight, puffing his chest out, and said to Huo Sining with a clear, decisive voice:

”Falcon Special Warfare Team 01, code name Falcon, belonging to the 14th Battalion of the Yun Province Military District, specialized in solo operations, highly mobile, and adaptable, capable of carrying out various special missions, particularly skilled in harassing the enemy from behind the lines, anytime awaiting orders from the leadership!”

Huo Sining was dumbfounded by Gu Xu’s deadpan attitude. It took her a while to process it, and then she burst out laughing, looking at Gu Xu, giggling: ”Who told you I have a task? You’re making such a fuss, scared me half to death.”

Gu Xu couldn’t maintain his serious face for long either, and as he saw that Huo Sining didn’t seem to plan to tell him, he felt a bit disappointed, with a hint of grievance in his eyes: ”Darling, I can really help you, backing you up won’t drag you down.”

Huo Sining wanted to refuse again, but suddenly thought of something. She looked up at Gu Xu: ”You really want to help? Let me ask you, do you know computers? Do you understand hacking?”

Gu Xu hesitated, not understanding what Huo Sining meant, but he still answered honestly: ”I don’t understand hacking.”

Huo Sining gave Gu Xu a sidelong glance in frustration and waved her hand weakly: ”Then forget it, you can’t help me.”

As soon as Gu Xu heard this, he got anxious: ”Don’t, tell me first what you plan on doing. You won’t tell me anything, I’m just in the dark, how am I supposed to help you without knowing where to start?”

Huo Sining sighed: ”I can’t say too much about it. My senior and I plan to do something big this time, but we can’t make too much noise, so it’s just the two of us involved. But we’re still missing a hacker to disable the surveillance system inside the target building during the action.”

Gu Xu’s eyes suddenly widened, looking at Huo Sining, and he subconsciously swallowed hard: ”Do something big? Darling, what are you guys planning? Rob a bank?”

Huo Sining looked at Gu Xu like he was an idiot: ”Are you out of your mind? Rob a bank? I have so much money, and now a Chicken Blood Stone mine, would I be short of money? I’m not crazy enough to use extreme methods to rob a bank! Do you really think I’m tired of living, asking Dongyang police to apprehend me?”
