Gu Nianzhi also choked at Huo Shaoheng's description of "pretending to be a husband and wife seeking children."
She was drinking milk, and when she heard this, she choked and almost spat it out.
Huo Shaoheng reached out and patted her back with a smile. "Drink slowly. No one's going to steal it from you."
His voice and demeanor were gentle and considerate like never before.
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes at Huo Shaoheng.
She was afraid someone would steal her milk?!
She clearly choked at his words …
She was certain that Huo Shaoheng knew the reason but still deliberately twisted the truth. He was really "evil."
He Zhichu gripped his knife and fork so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand popped out.
The moment he heard Huo Shaoheng say "husband and wife," he still lost control.
He thought he could get over it and see her live a good life, but when he heard the word "husband and wife," he realized it wasn't so easy to accept this reality.
She was supposed to be his wife, but now she was smiling sweetly and being gentle with someone else.
There was a knife above the word "tolerance". If he really tolerated it, it would be like stabbing his heart with a knife.
He Zhichu took a deep breath and tried to speak as calmly as possible. "You're now the leader of the mercenaries around me. Do you think pretending to be husband and wife with Nianzhi won't expose your identity?"
"I can disguise myself," Huo Shaoheng said nonchalantly. He stared at the half-foot-tall fish burger in front of him for a long time, then slowly picked it up with his hand and took a bite.
"Also, if that clinic is as problematic as you said and is closely related to the Angels in the World Charity Foundation in Japan, then it must be under close surveillance. What identity do you plan to use if you just barge in like this? "
He Zhichu expressed his worry and quickly glanced at Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi's lake green lace dress and Huo Shaoheng's camouflage uniform looked eye-catching and piercing.
Huo Shaoheng finished half of his fish burger and said slowly, "We must be pretending to be Japanese. I know a few words of their language."
Gu Nianzhi quickly shook her head. "Oh? But I don't understand … Why do we have to pretend to be Japanese? Can't we use our country's identity? "
Huo Shaoheng looked at her meaningfully and said with a smile, "Trust me, pretending to be Japanese will have an unexpected effect."
It seemed like there was a hidden meaning in his words.
Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Shaoheng had more information than they did, so he must have his reasons for saying this. She kept quiet, which was a tacit agreement.
He Zhichu opened his mouth and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. In the end, he decided not to get involved in their business. He said dryly, "Actually, that foundation spent so much money and worked for so many years without any results. I don't know why you guys spent so much effort to investigate. Is it fun to do something that has no result? "
His voice was like a basin of cold water splashed over, cold and indifferent, like the tinkling sound of ice and jade colliding.
Gu Nianzhi frowned. "Professor He has a point. Alex, are we taking them too seriously? "
Huo Shaoheng shook his head. "We won't know if it's serious until we see it."
His gaze swept across Gu Nianzhi's face. "Just because I haven't succeeded now doesn't mean I haven't succeeded in the past. Also, as long as they keep doing it, there will be a day when they can solve the problem and achieve continuous success. We can't wait until that day to act. "
He still insisted on that point of view.
For humans, technological progress was unstoppable.
But for the country, key individuals were too important.
Those outstanding disciplines relied heavily on leading scientists.
Losing one could cause the country's advanced advantage to fall back at least ten years, or even 50 years in serious cases.
Gu Nianzhi also felt that Huo Shaoheng's words made sense.
She said thoughtfully, "I remember that the United States of America on the other side of the Blue Planet was able to send astronauts to the moon and back half a century ago. But now, they can't even launch a spacecraft to the moon again, let alone send astronauts to the moon and back again. "
If the moon landing was real and not faked, then it meant that the loss of technology was completely real.
It was said that technological progress was irreversible, but technological development didn't progress in a straight line, but in a spiral.
Then she thought about why the Gestapo, represented by Reinitz, was still tracking down a lost piece of data after half a century?
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt enlightened. She nodded firmly. "I have to go see it for myself."
He Zhichu was silent for a long time. "I'll go with you."
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips in satisfaction. "… Professor He, you're not busy anymore?"
He Zhichu had just used "busy" as an excuse to reject Gu Nianzhi's suggestion.
He Zhichu snickered and scratched his knife twice on his plate. "You make it sound so serious. Of course I have to make time to see it no matter how busy I am …"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Huo Shaoheng wanted to provoke He Zhichu a few more times, but Gu Nianzhi secretly kicked him under the table. She frowned at him and made a disapproving expression.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and raised his chin. He deliberately said, "Why did you kick me? You want me to shut up? Fine, I'll shut up and won't argue with Professor He. Are you satisfied now? "
Gu Nianzhi's little face flushed. She was extremely embarrassed, and her already large eyes widened even more.
What was wrong with this person?!
He was deliberately arguing with her in front of others and provoking him in front of Professor He …
He Zhichu couldn't bear to listen anymore and threw his knife away.
The knife fell on the half-empty plate, making a crisp clang.
He said stiffly, "… Let me know when you're leaving." He left the dining room without looking back.
Gu Nianzhi turned around and watched He Zhichu's lonely figure disappear at the entrance of the dining room. She felt a little sad.
She didn't have romantic feelings for He Zhichu, but that didn't mean she could take his feelings for granted and ignore it.
When someone loved you with all his heart, even if you couldn't accept it, you couldn't treat it lightly.
She felt that Huo Shaoheng had gone too far and glared at him. She put down her knife and fork and got up to leave.
Huo Shaoheng sighed and quickly grabbed Gu Nianzhi's wrist. He said quietly, "… Are you angry? Then I'll go apologize to Professor He. "
He only wanted to test how much He Zhichu was hiding, but He Zhichu was very indifferent to everything else. No matter how much he provoked him, it was useless. He only had an obsession with Gu Nianzhi.
They were both men, and Huo Shaoheng didn't really believe that He Zhichu had already let go of his feelings for Gu Nianzhi.
And this feeling seemed to be his only weakness.
People in Huo Shaoheng's line of work knew how to use weaknesses to provoke others to achieve their own goals. It was almost instinctive.
Gu Nianzhi didn't turn around and said dryly, "Professor He has helped us enough. I hope you won't make things difficult for him anymore."
"Ok, I understand." Huo Shaoheng nodded and let go. Gu Nianzhi immediately took off.
As soon as she walked out of the dining room, she saw that He Zhichu hadn't gone far. He was leaning against the wall of the dining room door with his arms crossed and a faint smile on his face.
Seeing her come out, his shimmering sultry eyes flashed. "Nianzhi, I'm very happy that you spoke up for me."
Huo Shaoheng's mouth twitched when he heard this from the dining room.
This He Zhichu had become so cunning …
