Tan Guiren had always been a simple-minded and pure-hearted person. She believed whatever others said and was stubbornly persistent in her beliefs.
Her experience in the United States was extremely cruel and because of Huo Shaoheng, so she remembered it longer than other things.
However, although it had been a long time, it had been so long that sometimes her memory would be blurred.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi's "reconstruction of the facts" greatly deepened Tan Guiren's impression of the "truth." It made her unwittingly treat Gu Nianzhi's questions and answers as her own logical and organized memories, and she firmly committed them to memory.
Not only Tan Guiren, but even Speaker Long, who was listening on the side, unconsciously treated Gu Nianzhi's questions as the truth of Huo Shaoheng's experience in the United States.
It turned out that when Huo Shaoheng rescued Tan Guiren in the United States, he really fought against the US military and the CIA on his own. He was also able to hide in the United States and secretly protect Tan Guiren.
And because Tan Guiren didn't know Huo Shaoheng's identity at the time, she couldn't leak the secret even if she wanted to.
As for the so-called "capture", it was complete nonsense.
Speaker Long thought about Tan Guiren's answers just now and took out the "intelligence" Hong Kangquan sent from the United States from the drawer. He fell into deep thought.
The large office quieted down. Sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and dust could be seen dancing in the light. It was a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
Tan Guiren wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled sheepishly. "Miss Gu, you were too serious just now. I almost didn't know how to speak at all."
"Of course not." Gu Nianzhi smiled. "Miss Tan's thinking is clear and articulate, and her memory is so good. No wonder she plays the violin so well."
Tan Guiren smiled and finally relaxed.
She took out a tissue from her purse to wipe the sweat from her hands and was about to continue talking to Gu Nianzhi when she heard someone banging on Speaker Long's office door.
Gu Nianzhi turned around in surprise. "Who is this? Why aren't you using the intercom? "
Using a fist to knock on the door?
Speaker Long looked up unhappily and pressed the intercom on the desk. "What's going on outside?"
Special Assistant Zhuang's helpless voice came through the intercom. "Speaker Long, it's Director Hong. He wants to ask if Miss Tan is in your office. He said that he came with Miss Tan and should see you together."
Speaker Long frowned. "I made an appointment with Miss Tan, not Minister Hong. If Minister Hong wants to see me, arrange another time for him. "
This meant that Special Assistant Zhuang had to reschedule Minister Hong according to Speaker Long's schedule.
Normally, Hong Kangquan would have to wait almost half a month before he could see Speaker Long …
Hong Kangquan panicked when he heard that. From the moment he discovered that Tan Guiren had suddenly disappeared, the sense of unease in his heart had become more and more serious. His heart was pounding, and he couldn't stop himself from shouting into the intercom, "Speaker Long! I really have something urgent to see you about! This concerns the security of our country. You can't avoid it! "
Gu Nianzhi heard it from inside the house. The corners of her mouth twitched. She thought to herself that this person was really a drama queen. Even at this point, he still wouldn't give up …
Fine, then let's try and see who was hindering the security of the country!
Gu Nianzhi wrote a few words on her notes and pushed it in front of Speaker Long. "Let him in and see what he has to say."
Speaker Long looked at Gu Nianzhi, then at Tan Guiren. He turned off the intercom and asked, "Miss Tan, why did Director Hong say that he came with you? Did you ask him to come with you? "
Tan Guiren quickly waved her hands. "No, no. I met Director Hong at the entrance when I came to the Senate building this morning. He heard that I was here to see you, so he said that he was here too, so we came up together. "
So that was it.
Speaker Long looked down at the note that Gu Nianzhi had written for him. He thought about it and nodded. "Then let him in."
Gu Nianzhi quickly got up to open the door.
Hong Kangquan was yelling at Special Assistant Zhuang at the door. "You're not going to open the door? Can you bear the consequences of delaying national affairs?! "
Although Special Assistant Zhuang had a good temper, he was also angered by Hong Kangquan's attitude. He said angrily, "This is the office of Speaker Long of the Senate! Everything here was a matter of national importance! Director Hong, if you keep making noise, I'm going to call the guards! "
Gu Nianzhi poked her head out and quickly said, "Special Assistant Zhuang, please calm down. There's no need to lower yourself to the same level as this person."
Hong Kangquan turned around abruptly and saw that it was Gu Nianzhi. He immediately became even angrier. "You said there's no need to lower yourself to the same level as him? I want to see Speaker Long, and you're stopping me? It's really easy to see the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with! "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and turned to Speaker Long in the office. "Speaker Long, Director Hong said that you're the King of Hell, and we're the little ones. Then what is this place? The Hall of Hell? "
Tan Guiren couldn't help but giggle when she heard that.
Special Assistant Zhuang and Speaker Long also wanted to laugh, but they quickly looked away and coughed.
Speaker Long said with a smile, "Nianzhi, don't be naughty. Let Director Hong in."
He spoke in a tone that completely treated Gu Nianzhi like a junior. Even Hong Kangquan didn't dare to yell at her anymore.
Hong Kangquan quickly glared at Gu Nianzhi and walked in.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and said to Special Assistant Zhuang, "Special Assistant Zhuang, please come in and take notes. I helped Speaker Long take notes for a long time just now, and my hands are sore. I can't deal with this big shot right now … "
She pouted at Hong Kangquan's back and didn't want to record anything related to this person.
Special Assistant Zhuang nodded and followed her in.
Speaker Long saw him come in and immediately pointed to the notes that Gu Nianzhi had just taken. "Little Zhuang, you take notes."
Special Assistant Zhuang quickly walked over and sat in the seat that Gu Nianzhi had just been sitting in.
Tan Guiren saw this and slowly stood up. She said to Speaker Long, "Speaker Long, if there's nothing else, then I'll leave first."
She originally had a good impression of Hong Kangquan. After all, he was the husband of her mommy's best friend and could be considered a close family friend.
But today, Hong Kangquan had used her name to disrespect Speaker Long twice, so Tan Guiren was a bit unhappy.
Especially when Gu Nianzhi repeatedly emphasized that Hong Kangquan had used her name to cause trouble, which deepened Tan Guiren's displeasure.
Because of this, she completely lost the enthusiasm she had in the morning. She only remembered to be polite and nodded at Hong Kangquan. "I'll leave now if you're busy."
"Wait." Hong Kangquan extended his arm to stop Tan Guiren. "I haven't even asked you anything yet. How can you leave?"
Tan Guiren was taken aback. "You want to ask me something?"
"Yes, so you can't leave."
In Hong Kangquan's plan, Tan Guiren was the key to convicting Huo Shaoheng.
This girl didn't have a brain. She said whatever was on her mind, and as long as she said it casually, she would be able to get Huo Shaoheng's situation in the United States.
Hong Kangquan didn't believe that Huo Shaoheng could really escape from the United States on his own!
His field personnel had obtained evidence from the United States that the Hua Xia Imperial soldier who had gone to rescue Tan Guiren had been captured by them. Hong Kangquan firmly believed that it was Huo Shaoheng.
What he needed now was the testimony of Tan Guiren, the real third party, to prove that Huo Shaoheng had been captured by the enemy when he rescued her …
He didn't expect Tan Guiren to be so unwilling to cooperate.
Although she had a good temper and was simple-minded, not just anyone could order her around.
She was also a pampered girl raised by her parents, so she could be respectful to Speaker Long. But Director Hong? Was he even worthy?
This person was her father's subordinate. What right did he have to question her like that?
Tan Guiren raised her head. "I don't want to talk to you. I want to go home!"
Hong Kangquan, "!!!"
Gu Nianzhi suppressed her laughter and quickly spoke up for Tan Guiren. "Director Hong, right? Miss Tan said she doesn't want to talk to you. You can't force her! This is the Senate, not the execution room of the Secret Service. You can't torture Miss Tan to extort a confession from her! Tan Guiren was so scared that she grabbed Gu Nianzhi's hand. "Will he take me back to torture me?!"
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at Director Hong with a nervous expression. "Director Hong, will you torture Miss Tan because you can't achieve your goal? Please don't. Miss Tan is a law-abiding person and has never done anything wrong. How can you be so cruel? So cruel? So heartless?! "
Speaker Long and Special Assistant Zhuang had goosebumps listening to this string of Qiong Yao sentences.
They looked at each other silently and shook their shoulders at the same time.
Hong Kangquan felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.
Only Tan Guiren felt that Gu Nianzhi's words were very reasonable.
She quickly moved closer to her and sobbed. "Director Hong, you can't do this! You are the husband of my mommy's best friend. I've always treated you like an uncle. If you hadn't told my mommy to ask Major General Huo to save me, I might not have come back alive. I am indeed grateful to you, but you can't use this to threaten me! "
Gu Nianzhi silently gave Tan Guiren three thumbs up in her heart.
