Gu Nianzhi packed her bag and top-of-the-line laptop and followed Huo Shaoheng back to the official residence at the headquarters of the Special Operations Forces.
Putting down the things, the two of them didn't even take a sip of water and went directly to the central control room located on the sixth floor of the office building.
At the entrance of the central control room, Zhou Qiyuan and the military police were fully armed and waiting.
Seeing Huo Shaoheng striding over, they stood up solemnly.
"All attention! Salute! "
Zhou Qiyuan ordered loudly and raised his right hand to give Huo Shaoheng a textbook military salute.
Gu Nianzhi quickly stopped and didn't follow. Instead, she stood at the corner and waited for Huo Shaoheng to hand over to them.
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand and calmly walked over to take a look. "How is the situation? What about the 27 staff members who were taken away by the Secret Service? "
Zhou Qiyuan said loudly, "General Ji has already sent them back. They are now in the dormitory writing their reflections."
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
"… What reflections?" Huo Shaoheng placed his hand on the fingerprint sensor in the central control room and unlocked it.
"General Ji said that they didn't act decisively enough and should have controlled the entire Secret Service, but … they only controlled the office building of the Secret Service."
Huo Shaoheng was speechless. His hands stopped and he turned to Zhou Qiyuan. "Go and call them over. They have a special mission."
"Yes, Chief!" Zhou Qiyuan nodded but worriedly asked Huo Shaoheng in a low voice, "But the Americans already have their information. Isn't it inappropriate to let them enter this central control room?"
Huo Shaoheng turned around and looked at Zhou Qiyuan expressionlessly. He said calmly, "The Americans also know my information. Does that mean I can't enter this central control room as well?"
These words were quite harsh.
Zhou Qiyuan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly shook his head and said, "Chief, I didn't mean that. But the army has its own discipline. We are a confidential unit, and the discipline requirements are stricter. If I said anything wrong, please punish me. "
Huo Shaoheng folded his hands behind his back and looked down in thought. He said, "You did things according to the rules, so I can't say you're wrong. But the situation of these 27 people is special. They were betrayed by a traitor, so the Americans learned about their situation. So, according to you, not only should we punish the traitor, but we should also punish the comrades who were framed by the traitor? "
Zhou Qiyuan quickly said, "In the past, after the field staff failed, they were all transferred out of the Special Operations Forces, so I applied the old rules."
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "I know. That's why I want to make other arrangements for these 27 people. Because their responsibilities are important and they are not ordinary staff, you can ask them. If they are willing to never step out of the country, whether it is for public or private reasons, and never change jobs or retire from the army, they can return to their previous posts. If they don't want to, then go through the procedures and let them transfer to another department. "
Zhou Qiyuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "That's not bad. I'll prepare the volunteer letter. Those who are willing to agree to the conditions will sign the legally binding volunteer letter, and they can come back. If he doesn't want to, he won't sign it. "
"You're very thoughtful." Huo Shaoheng patted Zhou Qiyuan's shoulder approvingly. "Go, I have a lot of work waiting for you."
Zhou Qiyuan left half of the military police to be Huo Shaoheng's security, and he took the other half to the isolated dormitory where the 27 people lived to talk to them.
When they turned the corner, Zhou Qiyuan saw Gu Nianzhi and nodded at her. "Expert Gu is here too."
Gu Nianzhi was now a specially hired expert of the Special Operations Forces, especially in the area of computers. She had Zhao Liangze and Huo Shaoheng to recommend her.
Gu Nianzhi didn't know what happened because the 27 people were taken away by Deputy Minister Feng and then caused a ruckus in the Secret Service, causing the Secret Service to be taken over by the military. The media reports were all suppressed, and the internet didn't even make a splash.
She was also busy preparing to receive the German delegation to China, so she missed a good show.
Zhou Qiyuan thought about it and felt that this matter was directly related to Gu Nianzhi, so he told her, "… Because of the 'Pink Piggy' incident, 27 of our staff were taken away by Minister Hong Kangquan of the Secret Service. They were tortured and made to reveal who the 'Pink Piggy' was."
Gu Nianzhi: "!!!"
Her already large eyes suddenly widened even more. "What?! How could Hong Kangquan, that b * tch, do such a thing?! "
She hated Hong Kangquan because he had single-handedly pushed Huo Shaoheng to the United States to save Tan Guiren. Not only did he put Huo Shaoheng in danger and almost cost his life, but he also left her isolated and helpless in Germany. She was hunted down and almost destroyed her relationship with Huo Shaoheng.
She had always thought that she was the only one who had been hurt. She never thought that there were so many other people who had also fallen into danger because of her.
She didn't even need to think to know that they had been tortured by the Secret Service. The torture they had suffered …
Gu Nianzhi's eyes were red.
Zhou Qiyuan could only comfort her. "But don't worry. Our comrades in the Special Operations Forces have been tested countless times. The Secret Service can't do anything to them. But you are right. Hong Kangquan is indeed a b * tch. He is only fit to kneel and call the Americans daddy. "
Gu Nianzhi was about to cry, but after hearing Zhou Qiyuan's words, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Wiping the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, Gu Nianzhi stepped aside. "Then I won't hold you up anymore."
Zhou Qiyuan nodded at her and led the military police to carry out Huo Shaoheng's orders.
Gu Nianzhi came to the door of the Central Control Room and placed her hand on the sensor at the door.
The door opened quickly, which meant that she had the authority.
The military police hiding in the corner saw this and retreated.
Gu Nianzhi walked into the Central Control Room that she was no stranger to.
The silver-gray stainless steel appliances, the white walls, the black top, and the solid wood floor with an insulated layer was so clean that it could be used as a mirror.
The post-modern Central Control Room was simple yet magnificent. It reminded people of the vast universe, the deep sea, and the endless starry sky.
Standing there, even her soul felt like it was being cleansed.
However, in the control room that had three floors and spanned hundreds of square meters, only Huo Shaoheng was sitting there.
There were several large screens in front of him, and the screens were all flashing with data.
Gu Nianzhi's heart was in a mess. She walked to Huo Shaoheng and sat down beside him. She whispered, "Huo Shao, it's my fault."
When she thought about how 27 people had been tortured because of her, she felt terrible.
Huo Shaoheng turned around and saw her face full of guilt, apology, and sadness. He raised his hand and patted her head. "It has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself."
Actually, he knew Gu Nianzhi's personality. If people treated her well, she would want to treat them well.
Suddenly hearing that people were being tortured because of her, she wouldn't be Gu Nianzhi if she didn't feel guilty.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "How can it have nothing to do with me? If I had known earlier, I would have done it secretly that day … "
If she hadn't revealed her identity, perhaps these people wouldn't have encountered such treatment, right?
But that day, if she hadn't revealed her identity, how could she have encouraged everyone in the face of the United States' aggressive cyber attacks?
Morale was really too important during a war.
Gu Nianzhi stood up at that moment and revealed that she was the most powerful cyber hacker, "Pink Piggy," which boosted everyone's morale and dealt a blow to the enemy's morale. It was no less than the nuclear bombs that fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan during World War II.
As a senior commander, Huo Shaoheng completely understood the role she played.
Because he understood, his heart ached even more.
He hugged Gu Nianzhi tightly and let her lean against his broad and solid chest. He told her firmly, "This isn't your fault. Hong Kangquan is the one at fault. It's those traitors who betrayed the interests of the country. Those 27 staff members weren't at fault either. As soldiers, if they couldn't even withstand such a small test, how could they even talk about combat effectiveness? Nianzhi, you did very well. You did even better than I imagined. You didn't do anything wrong. "
Gu Nianzhi's tears quietly flowed out.
However, they weren't tears of sadness or pain. They were tears of being understood and cherished by the person she deeply loved.
She hugged Huo Shaoheng tightly.
Not only did he love her, but he also understood her. He understood her better than anyone else in the world.
The two of them hugged each other quietly in the spacious central control room and drew strength from each other's embrace.
You warm me, and I grant you your wish.
After a while, Gu Nianzhi asked in a muffled voice, "Huo Shao, then how many people do you think will return here?"
Gu Nianzhi had heard the conditions that Huo Shaoheng had just stated.
The price that those people had to pay was really not small. It wasn't something that ordinary people could do.
Huo Shaoheng patted her back and said in a low voice, "Of course I hope that the more the better, but I won't force it. In this job, if no one is willing to do it, there will be big problems. "
He would give them the honor they deserved, but he also required them to give their hearts and souls.
The best situation was when the soldiers didn't betray the country, and the country didn't betray the soldiers.
Gu Nianzhi sighed. "They are all the best of the best in your Special Operations Forces. This time, they suffered an unexpected disaster. It's really …"
"It's okay." Huo Shaoheng let go of her and picked up the tissue on the table to wipe her tears. "We were already mentally prepared for this kind of thing. They aren't the first, and they won't be the last. "
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and didn't refute Huo Shaoheng.
No matter what, she hoped that such things would happen as little as possible.
"This matter can't be resolved in a short time. Let's get to work first." As Huo Shaoheng spoke, he gave her permission to enter the central control system and help him check the algorithm.
Gu Nianzhi also felt that those people would definitely think about it for a few days. Before that, they could only rely on her and Huo Shaoheng.
After all, it wasn't easy to find people who could enter the central control room and operate the computers and instruments there.
This time, the United States had almost wiped out all the elites.
It was impossible for Huo Shaoheng not to be angry.
However, he didn't say anything and silently shouldered all the heavy burdens alone.
Even if the sky fell, he would stand between heaven and earth to help everyone …
Gu Nianzhi stopped her racing thoughts and secretly glanced at Huo Shaoheng before also immersing herself in the verification.
After an unknown amount of time, the sensor video in front of Huo Shaoheng suddenly turned on.
Zhou Qiyuan appeared on the video. "Chief, it's done. Please open the door."
Huo Shaoheng was slightly stunned. He looked at his watch and saw that only half an hour had passed.
"The volunteer forms have all been signed?"
"Yes. They've all been signed, "Zhou Qiyuan said seriously." They're here too. "
Huo Shaoheng was in need of help, so he quickly pressed the button to open the door and walked to the door with Gu Nianzhi.
The door opened, and a tall soldier wearing the black uniform of the Special Operations Forces appeared in front of them.
"All attention! Salute! "
Gu Nianzhi quietly counted over.
27 people, not a single one missing.
