Gu Nianzhi was embarrassed and pouted. "Huo Shao, you fell for it. Professor He said that Reinitz was playing games with a beautiful woman, not me. Why did you automatically put me in?"
This was a word game she couldn't play anymore …
Only Huo Shaoheng would fall for it, right?
He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng both looked at her for a long time before looking away.
Huo Shaoheng pretended to be weak and said dryly, "Yes, I misunderstood. Professor He is a big shot in the legal world. I'm no match for this kind of word game."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
As far as Gu Nianzhi knew, Huo Shaoheng's eloquence was no worse than He Zhichu's …
He Zhichu looked down and didn't say anything else. He closed the door in front of them.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her nose and yawned. She muttered, "I'll go back to sleep …"
Huo Shaoheng wanted to take Gu Nianzhi to his official residence, but he changed his mind when he thought of Reinitz.
"Let's go." Huo Shaoheng took Gu Nianzhi downstairs.
When they arrived downstairs, Gu Nianzhi saw Huo Shaoheng's modified Hummer SUV extended military vehicle. She smiled and pulled Huo Shaoheng's hand. "Aren't you afraid of people gossiping about you parking your car in front of Professor He's building?"
Huo Shaoheng didn't answer her hypothetical question. He nonchalantly opened the backseat door for her and got in.
"Go to the Hepingli Precinct." Huo Shaoheng ordered Fan Jian, the orderly in the front.
The Hepingli Precinct was the second-hand house Gu Nianzhi had bought.
She originally thought Huo Shaoheng wanted to take her to his official residence at the headquarters base and was still thinking about how to refuse. Now that he took the initiative to back down, she sighed in relief. She lazily sat in the backseat and quickly fell asleep again.
The high fever last night had indeed taken a toll on her vitality.
Sleep was one of the ways the human body healed itself. Therefore, people who had just recovered from a serious illness and were weak were very sleepy.
When Gu Nianzhi woke up, she found herself in the bedroom of the apartment in the Hepingli Precinct.
The setting sun shone through the half-closed curtains and sprinkled a beautiful layer of gold on the cherry-wood bay window sill.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her eyes and grumbled as she sat up.
She looked up and saw a handsome figure sitting in front of her desk. His arms were trembling slightly. He was probably typing quickly on the keyboard of the laptop. The computer screen was filled with dense green data.
She raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It was already past five in the afternoon.
It was about nine in the morning when they returned from Professor He's place.
She had fallen asleep after returning, and Huo Shaoheng had stayed here with her the entire time?
This had never happened before …
Gu Nianzhi hugged her knees as she sat on the bed. She tilted her head and smiled at Huo Shaoheng's back. She couldn't get enough of him.
Huo Shaoheng had indeed stayed the entire day to accompany Gu Nianzhi.
Although her fever had subsided, Huo Shaoheng was still worried. He called Chen Lie and asked him to bring his medical suitcase, which was comparable to a simple battlefield hospital, over to examine her. He only let Chen Lie leave after confirming that she no longer had a fever and that there were no other problems with her body.
After Chen Lie left, Huo Shaoheng turned on his portable laptop and connected it to the central control system.
He had been tracking down the place where the AI programming language had hidden the data.
The amount of work needed to find the random hidden information in the vast programming language was indeed not an ordinary amount of work.
Because of the sudden and strange magnetic field in C City, his work had been interrupted, so it had been delayed for a while.
Now, he had to restart the search. He hoped it wouldn't be too late.
Hong Kangquan had already become a wanted criminal, but he still hadn't been caught.
Huo Shaoheng could only be sure of one thing, and that was that Hong Kangquan hadn't escaped the borders. He was still in the Huaxia Empire.
He concentrated on his work for four to five hours until his neck felt a little sore. He reached out and rubbed it. Suddenly, he realized something and looked back.
Gu Nianzhi waved at him and smiled. "Huo Shao, I'm awake!"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
He turned off the computer and got up to walk to Gu Nianzhi's bedside. He reached out to feel her forehead.
Very good. Her body temperature was normal.
Huo Shaoheng patted her little face, which was flushed from sleep. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat tonight? "
Gu Nianzhi nodded obediently. "I'm hungry. I'm starving."
Although Gu Nianzhi had eaten a sumptuous breakfast at He Zhichu's place in the morning and had teased herself about not eating for three days like a camel, the truth was that she couldn't even last a day.
Huo Shaoheng also remembered what Gu Nianzhi had said that morning. He patted her head. "Fan Jian bought two grouper and put them in the fridge. There's also some sea cucumber. I've already made scallops and grouper porridge in the stew pot. There's also red dates and sea cucumber stew."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't stand it anymore before Huo Shaoheng finished speaking.
She gulped and slipped out of bed. She ran to the bathroom and said, "Huo Shao, hurry up and set the food. I'll be right back after I wash my face!"
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips and went to the kitchen to get the soup and porridge. He placed them on the dining table.
He had just set the bowls and chopsticks when he heard the doorbell ring.
He thought it was strange. Who would be visiting Gu Nianzhi at this hour?
If it was a close friend, they would definitely call to inform her first.
If it was someone unfamiliar, they probably wouldn't be able to enter the neighborhood. The guard at the entrance would first call to confirm their identity before letting them in.
Who was this person?
Huo Shaoheng walked to the door and looked through the peephole.
A blond, blue-eyed man stood outside the door. He was dressed in a well-ironed suit, and his handsome face, which was as abstinent as a religion, made him stand out from the crowd.
It was actually Reinitz.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes flashed. He calmly opened the door and said leisurely to the stunned Reinitz, "Major General Reinitz, nice to meet you."
Huo Shaoheng spoke in English.
The surprise on Reinitz's face flashed, but he quickly regained his composure. He nodded politely to Huo Shaoheng and deliberately pretended not to know him. He said in German, "Hello, is Cereus home?"
He deliberately used Gu Nianzhi's English name to show that they were close.
Huo Shaoheng looked at him and smiled. He also switched to German, "… Yes, please come in."
This was his territory, and Huo Shaoheng was waiting for Reinitz to walk into the trap.
As expected, Reinitz hesitated when Huo Shaoheng generously invited him in.
However, he quickly nodded and said with a smile, "That's great. I'm here to visit Cereus and see how she's doing. Yesterday, we reunited as old friends and were very happy. She drank a few too many glasses with me at the Senate dinner and then said she had a headache. I was very worried. She didn't attend the bilateral meeting between the two countries today. I heard she was sick. "
When Reinitz said this, Huo Shaoheng couldn't help but think of the scene he saw on the big outdoor screen in C City last night.
The two of them sat facing each other and raised their glasses, smiling extremely charmingly …
Huo Shaoheng felt disgusted, but his face remained calm. He smiled and invited Reinitz in. "Nianzhi did have a fever after coming back last night. The fever only subsided this morning, and she slept for a whole day. She just woke up. We're about to have dinner. Has Major General Reinitz had dinner?"
Reinitz immediately said, "Really? That's great. I haven't had dinner yet. "
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's mouth twitched. He thought to himself, I'm just being polite. Do you have to take advantage of me so quickly?
However, since he'd already said it, Huo Shaoheng wasn't so petty. "Then let's eat together. It's a common meal."
Reinitz handed a paper bag to Huo Shaoheng. "This is Mother Hanna's handmade white sausage. It's made from black pork raised in Bavaria. Cereus really liked it when she was in Germany, so I specially brought it over for her."
Huo Shaoheng took the paper bag and looked at it. "Thank you, Major General Reinitz." He then asked him, "How do I make this white sausage?"
Reinitz reached out. "Give it to me. I'll do it."
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
Gu Nianzhi washed her face and changed into a casual teddy outfit. She walked out of the bedroom briskly and said crisply, "Huo Shao! Where's dinner?! I'm so hungry I can eat a cow! "
Reinitz heard Gu Nianzhi's voice and couldn't help smiling. Without waiting for Huo Shaoheng to reply, he had already walked around Huo Shaoheng and raised the paper bag in his hand. He said in German, "Cereus, I brought you Mother Hanna's handmade white sausage! Do you want to eat it tonight? I'll make it for you right away! "
Gu Nianzhi was caught off guard and met Reinitz's smiling blue eyes. She was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. "Reinitz?! Why are you at my house?! "
"Major General Reinitz is here to visit you." Huo Shaoheng walked over with a smile and said dryly, "He said you guys were drinking together last night, and you had a lot to drink …"
