Chapter 6 This is a National Treasure

The elder struggled to articulate certain concerns, but Chi Gui understood that Grandma was worried about her comfort living with the Chi Family and wanted her to know she could move out anytime she wished.

She actually didn't need it and hadn't even planned to return to the Chi Family.

But as Grandma lay dying, she clung to her hand, her consciousness fading as she murmured, "Chi Gui, your mom has come… you can go home now…"

Old Lady's greatest wish in life was for her to return to the Chi Family, to be like the other children, treasured and embraced by the love and affection of parents.

It was precisely because of this that Chi Gui didn't refuse when Zhao Yuexiu suggested taking her back to the Chi Family.

However, now it seemed…

Suddenly, the ringing of a mobile phone interrupted Chi Gui's ruminations.

She slowly came back to her senses and barely answered the call when an incredibly aggrieved voice came through, "Boss, why did you go to Nancheng?"

"I felt like going," Chi Gui leaned against the wall by the door, her answer plain and unadorned.

These personal matters, she didn't wish to discuss with too many people.

The voice on the other end instantly sounded even more aggrieved, "Don't you miss your adorable collaborator at all?! I've specially bought a luxurious big villa by the sea in Hai Dou to make your recovery life comfortable and healthy! I've even hired more than a dozen servants! Are you heartlessly abandoning me just like that, won't your conscience hurt?"

Chi Gui: …

She looked at a few people coming upstairs, "We'll chat when there's time."

"We've only exchanged a sentence!! This is not just heartless anymore, hey!" the other side incredulously, "You're on vacation now, how can you be so busy that yo…"

Chi Gui decisively pressed the end call button.

At the same time, a dozen men, dressed in black shirts and pants, tall and lean with extraordinary demeanors, walked up.

The man leading came before Chi Gui and bowed with respect, "Miss Chi, apologies, we were a step late. By the time we got to Cloud Village, you had already been taken away."

"It's fine," Chi Gui looked at these people with a hint of helplessness, "Old Shen is being too ceremonious…"

A couple of bodyguards would have sufficed; such a grand procession was too conspicuous.

"You are Old Shen's personally chosen successor; this is all necessary," the leading man said earnestly. "I am Xing Gu, from now on, anything you need, just command."

With that, he introduced each of the men behind him to Chi Gui.

They were all former special forces, who had really been on the battlefield and seen blood.

Although Old Shen had intentionally chosen a few with kind and friendly appearances, the aura of having rolled through death couldn't be concealed.

After the introductions, Xing Gu said, "Rest assured, we will arrange things well and will not cause any inconvenience in your daily life."

Chi Gui nodded, "That's good."

Two others stepped forward, handing her two suitcases, "Here is the luggage you asked us to bring, if there's anything missing, we can go back to fetch it."

"No need, these two are everything." Chi Gui placed the suitcases beside the wall, "Thank you."

"It's what I should do," the person replied, clearly flattered.

When he had heard that the mission was to protect a medical professor whom even the state valued, he had felt a bit nervous.

He hadn't expected the other person to be so approachable… albeit a bit reserved in speech.

But well, that's normal for a big shot.

Subsequently, Xing Gu led his team of bodyguards to start cleaning the house.

Chi Gui also wanted to join in but was sternly stopped by Xing Gu as soon as she picked up a dust cloth.

These hands were national treasures, the future hope for the world's medical field in the branch of neurosurgery—they could not afford to receive even the slightest injury!

Furthermore, her hands had just sustained injury…
