Since leaving the courthouse, Gu Nianzhi hadn't returned to the Huo manor. Instead, she followed Huo Shaoheng back to his official residence at the Special Operations Forces base to continue preparations for the next round of trials.
She sat in the small conference room in Huo Shaoheng's office suite to review information. A few minutes later Huo Shaoheng, Yin Shixiong, and Zhao Liangze walked in.
Everyone began discussing the results of the day's trial and the normally chatty Yin Shixiong pretended to be oblivious to Gu Nianzhi's confusion. Since there were no outsiders in the small conference room, Gu Nianzhi kicked the leg of Yin Shixiong's chair. "Brother Xiong, why aren't you saying anything?"
