Chapter 151: Worried for Him

"Let's go." He Zhichu escorted Gu Nianzhi out the courtroom doors and into the parking lot.

He Zhichu was puzzled by the worried expression on Gu Nianzhi's face. "I told you, don't worry. Those tapes represent the final weapon in their arsenal. They have no further cards to play."

"It's not my case I'm worried about," Gu Nianzhi said truthfully.

"What are you worried about, then?" He Zhichu was even more perplexed. 

"I'm worried about what Xin Xinggao is hiding—what if it's something she can use against the Empire?" said Gu Nianzhi uneasily. In truth, she was worried for Huo Shaoheng.

Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Shaoheng considered it his duty to safeguard the interests of the Huaxia Empire. It was his number one obligation as a soldier: he was devoted to his mission, and would willingly lay down his life for it.
