Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Hugged Her from Behind
With Bao Gucheng’s status in the capital, even a prominent lawyer like Gu Yuzhi rarely gets a chance to meet him, at most seeing him on television.
However, because Elder Gu was once Bao Gucheng’s teacher, with this connection, Gu Yuzhi had slightly more opportunities to meet Bao Gucheng than the average person.
But in the limited number of meetings, Bao Gucheng always wore a cold face, his entire persona exuding a domineering leader’s aura of "strangers keep away," "don’t come near me," and "who do you think you are, get out of my sight."
A scholar can’t make sense when meeting a soldier.
Gu Yuzhi, as an intellectual, actually tended to avoid this unspeakable master.
So even though he recognized Bao Gucheng, he pretended not to and continued walking forward.
Unexpectedly.
A surprising scene occurred.
When the two brushed past each other.
Suddenly, Bao Gucheng stopped in his tracks.
Slowly, he slightly turned his body.
Although the man’s face was still stern and his eyebrows cold, it was evident that he nodded slightly towards Gu Yuzhi.
Gu Yuzhi felt as if he had witnessed a rare sight, like a blooming flower on an iron tree or the melting of a glacier!
Was that side step meant to courteously let him pass first?
Was that nod a polite greeting?
Gu Yuzhi could hardly believe it; this powerful master, who looked down on everyone, would be so approachable, courteous, and polite to him.
Why did he suddenly feel flattered and overwhelmed?
But after all, being someone who had weathered many storms, Gu Yuzhi quickly calmed his emotions, and also courteously responded to Bao Gucheng, politely stepping aside in return.
Although he was two cycles older than Bao Gucheng, they were of the same generation in seniority, so he felt embarrassed to take advantage of this master’s special courtesy.
Unexpectedly, Bao Gucheng was more insistent on etiquette than he imagined.
He didn’t move, and neither did Bao Gucheng.
As a result, the two men stood in the detention center’s hallway, silently, each trying to let the other pass for a good few minutes!
Neither went first.
Finally, Wei Yang came running over: "Report to Mr. Bo, everything is arranged, meet in interrogation room 1."
Only then did Gu Yuzhi breathe a sigh of relief: "Mr. Bo, you’re busy."
Bao Gucheng nodded slightly: "See you another day, Professor Gu."
Gu Yuzhi: "..."
I am just a scholar, perhaps there’s no need to see a martial artist like you again?
However, Bao Gucheng truly was the most polite martial artist he had ever encountered!

Qingcheng Hospital.
Gu Yuzhi stepped into the operating room, ready to tell Gu Qiusha that he had handled the imprisonment of Xi Yuanshan and Xi Ruzhu, and had Xi Yuanshan sign the divorce agreement, and even planned to recount Bao Gucheng’s peculiar politeness to amuse Sha Sha.
Unexpectedly.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he heard Gu Qiusha sobbing softly beside Xi Rubao’s bed.
There was no one else in the operating room, the armor of daytime strength shed, she was no longer a mother, someone’s wife, or the matriarch of a family.
She was just an ordinary woman, freshly divorced and wanting nothing more than a good cry.
Yet for fear of waking Xi Rubao, she held back this cry, reduced to soft sobbing, which sounded particularly woeful and helpless to Gu Yuzhi’s ears.
Gu Yuzhi’s eyes immediately reddened.
He quickly walked over, not caring about telling jokes to make her smile or the careful distance he had been maintaining—
He directly squatted down and hugged her from behind!
