Hong Kangquan was the one who suggested that Huo Shaoheng go to the United States to save Tan Guiren?!
Then Huo Shaoheng was ambushed in America and almost lost his life?!
Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
When Huo Shaoheng requested to have Hong Kangquan under surveillance, he had said that it was because they had received a report, but the details could not be revealed. Could it be related to this incident?
Speaker Long's eyes darkened. Although his face remained expressionless, he had secretly clenched his fists.
Hong Kangquan hadn't expected Tan Guiren to know that he was the one who had been secretly egging her on behind the scenes, and she had even said it out loud!
Sure enough, this girl did not have a brain and did not know the severity of the situation!
How could he say such a thing?!
How did Cai Songyin raise her daughter?
Didn't he tell her not to tell anyone about this?!
Or was it that in Cai Songyin's mind, her daughter wasn't considered "someone else"?
But you have to know yourself. Don't you know what kind of person your daughter is?!
Hong Kangquan panicked. He quickly glanced at Speaker Long to make sure that Speaker Long's expression hadn't changed, as if he hadn't understood what he was implying. He tried his best to keep his composure, not wanting Speaker Long to notice that something was wrong. He calmly changed the subject. "Miss Tan, what are you talking about? When did I threaten you? I'm doing this out of kindness … "
"Out of goodwill?" Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. She immediately interrupted Hong Kangquan's topic and quickly brought it back to the main point. "Director Hong, are you really being kind enough to suggest that Major General Huo personally go to the United States to rescue Miss Tan?"
"Of course. Huo Shaoheng is one of the best in the military. Who else would go if not him? " Hong Kangquan replied vaguely as he silently cursed Gu Nianzhi for being a busybody. He didn't want Speaker Long to notice this at all.
But when Gu Nianzhi brought it up again, he could only sneer and explain, "I saw that Mrs. Tan was so anxious at the time, and I knew that the couple loved Miss Tan very much, so I gave her a little reminder. Why couldn't she? Major General Huo used to be my subordinate in the army. No one knows his abilities better than I do. I know that only he can resolve this matter satisfactorily.
Gu Nianzhi immediately followed up and emphasized meaningfully, "… Really? You know Major General Huo's abilities best? So in your opinion, only he can solve the problem?! "
"Of course. Didn't the outcome prove my point?" Hong Kangquan pointed at Tan Guiren. "How about it? Miss Tan, am I right? "
Tan Guiren bit her lower lip and nodded slowly. She said hesitantly, "Major General Huo did save me, but you can't take me to your execution room …"
She remembered what Gu Nianzhi had just said about the Secret Service's "execution chamber." It sounded terrifying.
Hong Kangquan couldn't help but glare at Gu Nianzhi before saying to Tan Guiren, "Miss Tan, this is a misunderstanding. Why would I capture you? As you said, your mommy is my wife's best friend, and you treat me as your uncle. Why would I harm you? Tell me on your conscience, have I ever harmed you? My suggestion allowed you to return safely from the kidnappers. Isn't that enough? "
Tan Guiren thought it made sense and didn't know what to say. She couldn't help but glance at Gu Nianzhi again. She was practically following Gu Nianzhi's lead.
Gu Nianzhi didn't look at Tan Guiren. Her attention was completely focused on Hong Kangquan. She was even a little excited.
This person was the main culprit who had caused her and Huo Shaoheng to almost fall apart. There was no way she would let him go!
She had previously told Huo Shaoheng about Hong Kangquan. She didn't know if Huo Shaoheng had taken any measures, but he had actually allowed this person to pollute the environment …
Gu Nianzhi had already made up her mind to teach Hong Kangquan a lesson in front of Speaker Long.
"Director Hong, these are two different things. Miss Tan didn't want to answer what you wanted to ask her just now. From your attitude, isn't it obvious that you want to take her to the Secret Service's execution chamber? "
Gu Nianzhi spoke quickly and didn't wait for Hong Kangquan to refute. She continued, "That's right. You didn't say it explicitly, but your tone of voice and body movements all reflect this. Of course, after I point it out, you won't admit it no matter what, right? "
Hong Kangquan was about to blurt out "no," but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized that if he said "no," it would mean that he admitted that he wanted to take Tan Guiren to the execution chamber. He quickly wanted to change his words to "yes," but if he said "yes," it would mean that he wanted to take Tan Guiren to the execution chamber, but he wouldn't admit it!
So no matter if he said "yes" or "no," he would fall right into Gu Nianzhi's verbal trap!
Hong Kangquan forcefully swallowed his words. His face turned purple, and he tried his best to suppress his rage. His nostrils flared a few notches wider than usual, and he was panting heavily. He couldn't hide the ferocious look on his face.
Tan Guiren only took one glance at him and was scared out of her wits. She instinctively hid behind Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi reached back and patted Tan Guiren's back to comfort her. She turned around and smiled at Hong Kangquan. "Look, look. Just one look from you, and Miss Tan is so scared that she almost wants to find a place to hide. So you still insist that you won't harm Miss Tan? At least, I can't tell. "
"Why would I harm her? It was clearly because of my suggestion that Major General Huo personally went to the United States to rescue her, and Miss Tan was able to return safely. Tell me, when did I harm her? "
Hong Kangquan desperately claimed that it was because of him that Tan Guiren could be safely rescued. He wanted to distract everyone's attention and not focus on what Tan Guiren had said earlier.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't let him have his way.
She propped up her arm and lightly tapped her jade-like right cheek with one hand. She said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then what else do you have to ask? Miss Tan has already returned safely, but you still won't let her go. Aren't you threatening her to repay your kindness? "
"I'm threatening her to repay my kindness?" Hong Kangquan pointed at his thick nose. He was about to spit fire. "Do I need to threaten her to repay my kindness? Don't look at people through the crack of the door, you're looking down on me! "
"Then what do you mean by refusing to let Miss Tan go?" Gu Nianzhi spread her hands. "Other than threatening her to repay her kindness, I really can't think of any other reason."
"If you can think of it, then you're not just an insignificant intern!" Hong Kangquan finally mocked Gu Nianzhi harshly. He felt great. "What I want to ask Miss Tan is related to national security. How would someone like you know what's important?!"
"I see." Gu Nianzhi suddenly moved to the side and revealed Tan Guiren behind her. She pushed her out and encouraged her. "Miss Tan, since this is related to national security, I think you have no choice but to answer. But don't be afraid. Speaker Long is here, and so am I. Director Hong can ask now. Miss Tan can answer in front of all of us. "
Tan Guiren instinctively held Gu Nianzhi's hand tightly and nodded reluctantly. "Director Hong, if you have something to say, just say it. I have to go back. My mommy is still waiting for me."
Hong Kangquan saw that there seemed to be no other way but to ask now. Also, because of what Tan Guiren had shouted earlier, Hong Kangquan was also vaguely regretting it.
He knew that Tan Guiren had a one-track mind and was very easy to get information out of. He should have thought things through before using her.
Now, it was obvious that this girl had already confessed everything before anyone else could get anything out of her!
But since he was already at a disadvantage, wouldn't he be at an even greater disadvantage if he didn't continue asking?
Anyway, the arrow was already nocked and had to be fired.
Hong Kangquan coughed and said with a serious expression, "Then let me ask you. When Major General Huo rescued you in New York, was he ambushed by the US military and the CIA?"
Tan Guiren nodded. "Yes, but …"
Hong Kangquan interrupted her and immediately asked, "After he was ambushed, did he escape?"
"Yes, but …"
Hong Kangquan interrupted her again. "After he escaped, the US military and the CIA visited your house many times. Did they ask about his whereabouts?"
"Yes, but …"
"Did you tell the US military and the CIA that the person who rescued you was Major General Huo and not the kidnappers?"
"No!" This question overlapped with the one that Gu Nianzhi had asked about "reconstructing her memory." Tan Guiren felt a sense of familiarity and quickly regained her rhythm. "I didn't even know he was Major General Huo at that time. How could I tell the Americans who he was?"
Hong Kangquan froze and secretly cursed Huo Shaoheng for being so cunning. He had personally gone to the United States to rescue her and had concealed his identity even in front of Tan Guiren.
He had no choice but to ask from another angle, "When the US military and the CIA came to find you, did they encounter Major General Huo?"
Gu Nianzhi had also asked this question, but she had used slightly different words.
Tan Guiren was like a student who had missed a question before a big exam. She answered quickly and well, "No, every time he appeared, he came and went like a ghost. They never encountered him!" She then added what she remembered the most. "He had his own freedom of movement, his own residence, and hid in the dark to protect me!"
This sentence directly blocked the rest of Hong Kangquan's words.
He couldn't help but become angry and growled, "How is that possible?! You're lying! The US military and the CIA were so powerful. They had so many people and such advanced weapons. How could they let him escape alone?! You're lying! You're lying! "
"I'm not! I've never lied before! " Tan Guiren was so angry that she began to cry. "You said you wanted to question me, and I told you the truth. What right do you have to say that I'm lying?!"
Between the shrewd Hong Kangquan and the innocent Tan Guiren, anyone who heard their conversation would believe that Tan Guiren was telling the truth, and that Hong Kangquan was about to confess under torture after failing to extort a confession from her.
Gu Nianzhi stepped forward and shielded Tan Guiren. Her expression darkened as she said to Hong Kangquan, "Director Hong, I don't understand. What do you mean by that? May I ask what point are you trying to prove?! "
Hong Kangquan was furious and pointed at the sobbing Tan Guiren. "Of course I want to prove that she's lying!"
"Miss Tan is lying? Why is she lying? Why can't I tell? " Gu Nianzhi shrugged and asked Special Assistant Zhuang, who had a blank expression on his face. "Secretary Zhuang, can you tell?"
Special Assistant Zhuang shook his head slowly. "I'm too stupid. I can't tell that Miss Tan is lying."
"Isn't that right?" Gu Nianzhi purposely made a contemptuous expression and even snorted through her nose. She crossed her arms and looked up at the sky. "Some people just like to create something out of nothing."
"I created something out of nothing?!" Hong Kangquan was furious. Clenching his fists, he said word by word, "Tan Guiren is lying because Huo Shaoheng couldn't have escaped from the Americans with his own strength! He was once captured in the United States! "
Ha!
He finally said it.
Gu Nianzhi put down her arms and looked down at Hong Kangquan's angry, oily face. She said coldly, "Hmm? Did I hear it wrong? Who was the one who said that he knew Major General Huo's abilities the best, and that the matter could only be resolved if he was personally involved?! "
Hong Kangquan couldn't help but take a step back. He was tongue-tied and didn't know how to respond.
Gu Nianzhi took another step forward, her eyes sparkling. She didn't relax for even a moment. "Speak on one side. You know Major General Huo's abilities the best. Only if he is personally involved can the matter be resolved! You also said that he didn't have the ability to escape from the Americans alone! Director Hong, I really don't get it! "
"Do you know Major General Huo's abilities and know that he can resolve the matter perfectly, but you're not satisfied with him resolving it perfectly, so you deliberately framed him for being captured and smeared his innocence?"
"Or do you know Major General Huo's abilities and know that he can't actually escape the Americans' pursuit, so you deliberately sent him to the United States to die?!"
Gu Nianzhi's words were harsh. She simply blocked both of Hong Kangquan's paths.
"Director Hong, are you trying to frame a Major General of a country for treason? Or are you trying to murder a Major General of a country? Choose one of these two felonies! "
