Part 2 Hello, Mr. Major General I'm Gu Nianzi

292. We are in trouble again!

..Is that so?" Gu Nianzhi was stunned, neither happy nor unhappy. She nodded, no longer wanting to think about it, "Tell me when the congee is ready, I'm so hungry I don't even want to go online."
"Oh! This is really serious, the Internet addict doesn't even want to go online. I believe that you're really starving." Yin Shixiong teased as he waved the spatula to kick her out of the kitchen.
Soon after returning to her room, Yin Shixiong called to let her know that the congee was ready. He also prepared two light appetizers, potatoes with vinegar and vegetable salad. Devouring it happily, she had three bowls of porridge and wiped out all the appetizers. Early next morning, Gu Nianzhi put on her backpack and went downstairs to head over to He Zhichu's office at the Law School. Yin Shixiong would be driving her there. When the pair went down to the parking lot, Yin Shixiong suddenly took Gu Nianzhi's hand and whispered in her ear, "...Someone's following us."
Gu Nianzhi smiled inconspicuously and go into the car as usual. They didn't speak much after getting into the car, and Yin Shixiong took out an anti-eavesdropping device to scan the interior to discover it had been bugged. A normal person would have never detected it, but Yin Shixiong did this as a living. Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and remained silent as they drove to the Law School.
Yin Shixiong blinked at her, "You have class today, remember to come home earlier. I need to get an oil change, so I'll go after I pick you up."
Gu Nianzhi nodded intently and sighed, "I still have classes, but how can I even concentrate?"
They did not speak again and headed towards the road to Harvard campus. Yin Shixiong saw a silver Honda Accord follow them at an even pace from the rearview mirror and laughed, "We're almost here, get ready to go." He motioned to her to "hang on." Gu Nianzhi hurriedly clutched at the handle above her and they began going uphill. Yin Shixiong suddenly pressed on the accelerator to speed forward. The silver car behind noticed this and also sped up. Just when the car was visible to Yin Shixiong from the rearview mirror again, he abruptly slammed on the brakes.
Squeak! Thump! Boom!
The Accord didn't expect the car in the front to brake so suddenly. Before the driver even reacted, he heard a boom and the car had rear ended the SUV. Since there was a collision, they would have to exit the vehicles and exchange insurance information to have insurance evaluate the incident. But before the driver got out of the car, he noticed his car moving again. It was moving backwards! The driver was shocked, what was happening? Why did the SUV he just rear ended slide backwards?!
Rather than sliding backwards, it was Yin Shixiong covertly stepping on the accelerator as he reversed the SUV Although it was secondhand, it had a much sturdier frame than the humble Honda Accord. The SUV was fine after being rear ended, and even capable of reversing.
"Ah!" Gu Nianzhi screamed, "Help! Help!"
The students on the tree lined road saw this and all quickly moved out of the way--bikers, drivers, pedestrians and people on skateboards. They saw the silver Honda Accord rear end the SUV, then the SUV lost control and slid backwards, picking up speed and pushing the Accord downhill. The driver finally realized what was happening and desperately pushed the door open to escape. Yin Shixiong watched him from the mirror and smiled ruthlessly before pressing down on the accelerator harder to push the Accord off the road and viciously slam into a large tree. The solid frame of the SUV coupled with the accelerated speed crushed the Accord, sandwiching it against the tree!
"Hurry!" Yin Shixiong yanked the seatbelt off Gu Nianzhi and carried her out of the SUV. They jumped out of the car and tumbled down the hill before getting up again and screaming "Help!" as they sped towards the road. A great explosion sounded behind them, flames emerging from the two vehicles and burning them to metal skeletons in a matter of seconds. The driver hadn't escaped. Gu Nianzhi's mind was transported back to the accident six years ago and she tightly clung on the Yin Shixiong's collar. She was shaking uncontrollably, her face ashen and eyes glazed. Yin Shixiong's expression was icy as he glared at the car. His gaze softened when he looked down and embraced Gu Nianzhi, patting her back in comfort. They stood on the side of the road and heard the sound of police sirens speed towards them. There were many eyewitnesses and everyone rushed over to comfort Yin Shixiong and Gu Nianzhi. Seeing that Gu Nianzhi was in shock and breaking down, the bylookers panicked and urged Yin Shixiong to take her to a doctor right away.
Yin Shixiong laughed coldly, "We have to wait for the police to come, or we won't know what's going to happen after." He took out his phone to dial He Zhichu and told him succinctly, "Professor He, we are in trouble again"
He Zhichu was both furious and shocked when he finished listening to Yin Shixiong. He was angry that Lieutenant Colonel Peter and his men had the audacity to tail Gu Nianzhi when she was already being sued by them He was shocked that Gu Nianzhi either had very powerful, or very lucky people at her side. They were only being followed, but were able to turn the tables and kill the enemy. There was also no evidence left for the US Military to trace.
He Zhichu raced to the scene and saw the two vehicles were already towed. A police officer was making records--Yin Shixiong's statement, as well as a few brave students who stayed behind to be eyewitnesses, as well as Harvard employees. All the statements matched, the second car rear ended the SUV, and because it was uphill, the SUV lost control and slid down. THe Honda Accord was pushed off the road and hit a big tree. Luckily the two SUV passengers escaped quickly, otherwise they'd end up like the driver, burnt to ashes The police officer recording statements had ample experience and had seen all sorts of bizarre accidents before, so it wasn't the first time he saw such a collision. He was not surprised.
He Zhichu stood beside Gu Nianzhi, whose face was ashen and eyes glazed over.
"Nianzhi?" He quietly called her name.
Gu Nianzhi was dumbfounded for a long time before she looked up at He Zhichu.
"Professor He?" Her speech was slow, like she had just regained speech abilities.
"Are you frightened?" He Zhichu caressed her head and took her hand when she didn't shy away. He took her away, "It's ok, come back with me to the office first. Have a hot drink to help calm down."
