Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and said, "Huo Shao, you've fallen into his trap. Professor He said that Reinitz liked to play games with beautiful women, but he never specifically referred to me, so why did you mention me?" She was a master of word traps, so he couldn't have fooled her. Huo Shaoheng was probably the only one who would fall victim to such a trap.
He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng both looked at her, then averted their gazes and turned away. With a defeated expression on his face, Huo Shaoheng said lightly, "Well, seems like I have misinterpreted his words. Professor He is of the legal profession, so I'm no match for him in this word game."
Gu Nianzhi was momentarily speechless. As far as Gu Nianzhi knew, Huo Shaoheng was no less eloquent than He Zhichu. He Zhichu lowered his eyes, and without saying anything further, slammed the door in both of their faces.
Gu Nianzhi touched her nose and yawned, then murmured, "I'll go back and sleep some more."
