After changing out of her white coat and coming out of the hospital, Gu Jin said to Xiao Yize as she walked, “The patient’s condition is getting better. I’ve already handed over the second phase of the treatment plan to Director Yang from the Neurology Department. I’ll come to visit once a week.”
Xiao Yize listened attentively as he walked to the car and took out his keys to open the door. “Miss Gu, are you still going to Qingya Restaurant tonight?”
Gu Jin looked at the time. It was still early from the curfew Ruan Xueling had set. “I am going to Jinyang Pavilion. I have an appointment.”
Xiao Yize looked at the cold and agile girl in the backseat through the rearview mirror with a helpless expression.
Previously, they could at least have dinner together. Now, they could not even have dinner.
“Miss Gu, are you really treating me as your driver?”
Gu Jin looked up at him. “Young Master Xiao is quite self-aware.”
Xiao Yize, ‘
Xiao Yize said, “I heard that Miss Gu signed up for the First High School sports meet?”
Gu Jin glanced at him. “Why? Does the Special Department even bother about such a small sports meet?”
Xiao Yize, the heir of the Xiao family, was loyal and good at his work. He worked for the country and had a close relationship with the military and the police.
Combined with his recent actions in Jin City to eliminate the forces of the Xue family who was one of the most powerful families in the city, and his identity as the criminal profiler, Qi Ze, it was not difficult to guess that he was from that Special Department.
That Special Department was mainly in charge of metahuman martial artists in the country or was in charge of investigating cases in private.
The Special Department had a rule for recorded metahuman martial artists that prohibited them from participating in large-scale international sports competitions.
After all, the physique of metahuman martial artists was different from that of ordinary people. In the arena, it was no different from a participant on stimulants. Of course, there were no rules against metahuman martial artists joining non-physical competitions like e-sports and racing.
Gu Jin had a cold personality and didn’t like to be restrained. She didn’t like to interact with this department.
Xiao Yize was not surprised that Gu Jin had guessed his identity. There was a gentle smile on his handsome face. “Miss Gu, you’ve misunderstood. I just wanted to say good luck to you first. I’ll be the referee, so I won’t be able to cheer for Miss Gu on the spot.”
Gu Jin looked at Xiao Yize in surprise. “You’re quite free.”
She thought that Xiao Yize was busy investigating her and Feng Jue.
Then again, this man was so free that he came over to become a high school vice-principal, so it did not seem as strange anymore.
After getting out of the car, Gu Jin thanked him and walked towards Jinyang Pavilion.
Su Ye and Ji Linbai were sitting by the window. When they saw her walking over, Su Ye waved his hand vigorously. “Boss, over here!”
From the corner of Ji Linbai’s eye, he saw Gu Jin sitting down opposite him. Only then did he stop scrolling through his phone. He looked at the car outside Jinyang Pavilion in surprise. “Boss, did the guy from the Xiao family send you here?”
Su Ye was also curious. “Boss, is that person from the Xiao family really planning to woo you?”
Gu Jin’s eyes were cold and calm. “More like investigate me.”
Xiao Yize was interested in her. Perhaps he had feelings for her, but most of his efforts were focused on checking her background. Although they were close, Xiao Yize had almost never said ambiguous words to her, let alone confessed or pursued her.
After all, such a person who had almost engraved the constitution and criminal law in his bones, even if he wasn’t as good a teacher as he looked on the surface, it was impossible for him to be crazy enough to attack a minor.
Ji Linbai raised his eyebrows. He was also a psychiatrist and could tell that his boss’s expression was not right at that moment. “If it’s that person from the Xiao family, he’s worthy of the boss.”
Gu Jin’s gaze swept across Ji Linbai and stopped on his phone. “I remember someone saying that chasing celebrities is dumb and it is a combination of projection effects, halo effects, and herd effects. It’s a cognitive deviation.” Ji Linbai’s hand trembled as he helped Ruan Chu get into the rankings.
