WARNING! Tsundere President Chapter 853 - A Cunning Man

“…”

Gu Jinzhi’s men all took a few steps back and looked at Wen He in unison.

Wen He narrowed her eyes. “No way!”

She had already done the man a huge favour by pulling him to the surface, and now they want her to give him CPR?

“You!” She pointed at a man with delicate features. “You should do it!”

The other man exhaled in relief.

Under Wen He’s laser-focused eyes, the man who was singled out moved tragically toward Gu Jinzhi. He kneeled down on one knee and prepared himself for the ultimate sacrifice. The man closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and slowly lowered his head…

Just as he was about to put his mouth to Gu Jinzhi’s lips, the latter opened his eyes!

Slap!

Gu Jinzhi slapped the face above him without thinking.

“Scram!”

“…”

The man rubbed his lips and backed down without a fight, secretly feeling relieved.

After all, his chast.i.ty was still intact.

“Cough…”

Gu Jinzhi put his hand over his mouth and coughed again. When he removed his hand, he saw a red spot on his palm. He casually ignored the blood and s.h.i.+fted his eyes to Wen He, who was lying down lazily beside him.

He asked with a twinkle in his eye, “I am grateful that you saved my life for the second time, but don’t you know how improper that was between two men?”

Wen He gave him a look. “Do you mean it’s more proper if I did it instead?”

Before Gu Jinzhi could reply, she fished out her phone from her jeans and gave it a shake. The phone’s waterproof feature seemed to have done its work.

She called Yang Yi immediately, explained the circ.u.mstances, and asked him to send some people here to take care of things.

After that was settled, she lay back on the road again, drained of all energy.

“Are you hurt?”

Gu Jinzhi noticed her swollen right ankle and frowned.

“Probably a broken bone,” Wen He replied with a shrug. “It’s nothing.”

“…”

Gu Jinzhi did not pursue the matter further and simply watched the drenched and exhausted woman with an unreadable look.

He was about to say something when Wen He asked, “You coughed blood just now. How are you feeling?”

“I’m fine,” Gu Jin shook his head slowly. “Just a slight concussion in the abdomen. Like you said, it’s nothing.”

“That’s good.”

After resting for a while, Wen He regained some of her strength. She sat up and watched the dying flames engulfing the truck nearby with a solemn expression.

“Gu Jinzhi, even if you had chosen this secluded area to do this, it is still a serious incident. Commander Yang’s men are coming soon, how are you going to explain this?”

“Explain?”

Gu Jinzhi affected a look of innocence, but his eyes flashed with dark mischief.

“Lin Kang rammed into my car and pushed us into the lake. I am injured, while he got what he deserved. The truck exploded and he died on the spot. It is very clear cut incident, what is there for me to explain?”

“…”

Wen He was impressed.

He was right.

The truck’s explosion destroyed all evidence. He could also blame Lin Kang for pouring diesel on the road as part of his trap. After all, there were no CCTV cameras around.

It would be difficult to trace the incident back to Gu Jinzhi. Besides, the military had little incentive to investigate further given their soured relations.h.i.+p with Lin Kang.

Lin Kang caused his own death and Yang Yi had no reason to waste time on a man like him.

Wen He smiled coldly and said, “I see that you have considered all the possibilities. Master Gu, you are one cunning man.”

Gu Jinzhi waved away the compliment. “It’s just basic tactics.”

“…”

Wen He decided to temper down his arrogance with a bit of reality.

“The only thing you failed to predict is Lin Kang’s last-ditch effort to take you down with him.”

Gu Jinzhi merely smiled.

In fact, he had foreseen that as well.

What he did not foresee was a coughing episode from his illness at the last minute.

His body was deteriorating faster than he thought.

Gu Jinzhi maintained a calm smile on his face as he reflected on the facts.
