Gu Nianzhi's lively black eyes sparkled as she looked at Huo Shaoheng, her face full of longing.
It had been a long time since he had seen Gu Nianzhi so happy. Huo Shaoheng's cold and hard heart felt another part of it crumble.
With a smile, he connected the Bluetooth headset and called Speaker Long.
At that moment, Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi came out of the military compound and had just returned to his official residence at the headquarters of the Special Operations Forces.
The ticket that his personal secretary, Yin Shixiong, had booked for him would take off in two hours. It was Aeroflot's first-class flight to Moscow.
According to usual practice, he should return to the official residence, change his suitcase, and then immediately board the plane.
But this time, his routine had changed.
…
When Speaker Long received Huo Shaoheng's call, he was still in the car on his way back to the Senate building.
"Shaoheng? What is it? Is Nianzhi at your place? "Speaker Long answered the phone, and the first thing he asked was when Gu Nianzhi would be returning to work at the Senate.
"…"
He instinctively glanced at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi's pupils were like two pieces of top-grade obsidian. The sunlight reflected in her eyes and sparkled like the most precious spots of rainbow light on top-grade obsidian.
She obviously wanted to go to Moscow with him.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and immediately changed his mind. He didn't mention the word "leave" and said calmly, "Speaker Long, we are still on a mission, and Nianzhi will be coming with us to finish up the work. Give it another two weeks, and it should be fine. "
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything definite. After all, there were many things that he couldn't control when he was away from home.
He didn't have much to do on this trip to Moscow. The most important task was to attend the opening ceremony with the military's special forces delegation and show that he had been in Moscow.
It was just a cover-up.
Outsiders didn't know that he was not in Moscow during this time.
The foreigners who knew that he was not in Moscow during this time, such as the elites of the Japanese Secret Service, as well as the Gestapo and their mercenaries led by Li Dexi, were all dead.
The rest of them were his own people, comrades who had gone through thick and thin with him.
Speaker Long was slightly disappointed, but he still expressed his understanding. "Alright, you have to protect her well. It's really not easy for a girl like her to run around with a group of men. Don't let her encounter any danger. "
She was still unhappy and warned Huo Shaoheng with a stern face, "I'm telling you, it's not easy for me to find a successor. If anything happens to Nianzhi, I won't forgive you! "
"…"
What a joke.
Would anything happen to Nianzhi while she was by his side?
Huo Shaoheng didn't comment. He smiled perfunctorily and said, "We're leaving now. Take care, Speaker Long. I'll treat you to a meal later."
"Okay." Speaker Long agreed and hung up the phone.
Gu Nianzhi listened to the call with a smile and gave Huo Shaoheng a thumbs up. "Huo Shao, you're amazing. I just realized that you can lie without batting an eyelid. It's more convincing than the truth. "
Huo Shaoheng looked at her calmly. "I never lie."
Gu Nianzhi said, "… Where's your shame?"
"I just don't tell the truth sometimes." Huo Shaoheng smiled and reached out to pinch Gu Nianzhi's little face. "Your face is here. Go wash your face. I'll book you a plane ticket."
Gu Nianzhi looked up at the sky speechlessly.
Making up a few lies without batting an eyelid was probably a special communication technique that the leaders of the Special Operations Forces had.
…
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly ran back to the bedroom and took a few facial masks from the dresser. She put them in her small bag and dragged them out again without even opening her suitcase.
This time, Huo Shaoheng's orderly, Fan Jian, and his personal secretary, Yin Shixiong, drove them to the airport.
Yin Shixiong was reluctant to let Gu Nianzhi go. He took Gu Nianzhi's arm and winked. "Nianzhi, Brother Xiong hasn't seen you in a long time. I really miss you. How about it? Can you sit with Brother Xiong on the way to the airport? Brother Xiong has a lot of intimate things to say to you. "
The sunny and handsome Yin Shixiong suddenly threw a few "flirtatious" looks at her. Gu Nianzhi had goosebumps.
She couldn't stand it and shrank to the side. "Brother Xiong, speak properly. Don't you know I'm scared when you're like this? "
Huo Shaoheng glanced at them. Coincidentally, General Ji called. He still had some work to report, so he raised his chin at Fan Jian. "You drive the car in the back. I'll sit with you. Nianzhi, you sit with Big Xiong. I'll see you at the airport. "
"Okay, okay! The Chief is so understanding and observant. It's our blessing! "Yin Shixiong quickly bowed to Huo Shaoheng and pulled Gu Nianzhi into the car.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng and saw him waving at her nonchalantly. She nodded. "Then I'll go with Brother Xiong."
She could stay for two weeks with Huo Shaoheng anyway. She didn't mind the time spent on the road.
Gu Nianzhi smiled as she sat in the passenger seat of Yin Shixiong's car.
After the car started, Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and asked Yin Shixiong, "Brother Xiong, what's the matter? You're looking for me so urgently that you can't even tell Huo Shao? "
It was obvious from Yin Shixiong's expression that he had something to ask her.
After Yin Shixiong got in the car, the mischievous smile on his face disappeared.
He focused on driving and waited until the car was on the highway before asking Gu Nianzhi in a low voice, "Bai Shuang … and Little Ze, what's going on?"
"What do you mean what's going on? Didn't Huo Shao already say it? "Gu Nianzhi pretended to be confused and smiled.
"Don't bullshit with me." Yin Shixiong reached out a hand and turned Gu Nianzhi's head to face him. "Tell me honestly, what … happened outside?"
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows. "It's confidential. I can't tell you."
"Forget it." Yin Shixiong curled his lips in disdain. "The relationship between Little Ze and Bai Shuang isn't confidential. You won't tell me, right? If you don't tell me, I won't tell you what happened after Bai Shuang's coffin was taken away by the Bai family. "
Bai Shuang's coffin was taken back with the highest honor at the Imperial Capital International Airport, but Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng didn't get off the plane at the time.
The two of them waited for everyone to leave before quietly leaving the airport and going to the military compound for a meeting.
Another three or four hours passed, and Gu Nianzhi really didn't know what happened in the meantime.
She looked at Yin Shixiong suspiciously. "… What could have happened? Wasn't it just … a memorial service, a funeral, that sort of thing, right? "
"Yes, that's right." Yin Shixiong patted the steering wheel and nodded. "And Little Ze also went back with the Bai family."
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened. "Brother Ze went to the Bai family?! He … He … What did he go to the Bai family for?! "
Could it be that he saw Bai Yueran after coming back and then "fell in love with someone else"?! "Why did she say the word" again "?!
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's lips twitched. She was amazed by Zhao Liangze's ability to flirt.
"What did you think he was going to do?" Yin Shixiong glanced at her in amusement. "Don't think so badly of our Little Ze. He's a little confused when it comes to relationships, but who knows who they really like on their first date? Didn't I also … "
Suddenly feeling that something was wrong, Yin Shixiong snorted and swallowed the words he hadn't finished speaking.
Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes unkindly and drawled, "Brother Xiong, what do you mean? Be careful or I'll tell Qiqi! "
"Okay, okay, spare me, Miss Nianzhi! Spare me! " If it weren't for the fact that he was driving, Yin Shixiong would have bowed to her. "Huo Shao finally agreed to approve my marriage application when he comes back from Moscow. If you try to interfere, even if I can handle Huo Shao, I can't handle Qiqi!"
"Looks like you still know how to be afraid. Okay, I forgive you." Gu Nianzhi patted Yin Shixiong's shoulder very generously. "Tell me, what did Brother Ze go to the Bai family for? If you tell me, I won't tell Qiqi. "
Yin Shixiong, who was very good at talking, found that he had unknowingly been tricked by Gu Nianzhi.
Not only did he not get what he wanted to ask from her, but he also wanted to tell her everything he knew.
"… You win." Yin Shixiong snorted twice and said, "Little Ze, he's grown up! The Bai family held a funeral for Bai Shuang. He wore mourning clothes and was a family gift in front of the coffin! "
Gu Nianzhi, "!!!"
"You mean, Brother Ze presided over Bai Shuang's funeral in the name of her family?!" Gu Nianzhi was so shocked that her eyes widened to the extreme. "What identity did he use?!"
Yin Shixiong glanced at her and wished he could pinch her big eyes a little smaller. He sighed and said, "He used the identity of Bai Shuang's fiancé. He told the Bai family that he and Bai Shuang were engaged outside and had planned to come back to submit a marriage report, but before he could return to the country, Bai Shuang was sacrificed. "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
"You know, before Little Ze went on the mission, he had just confirmed his relationship with Bai Yueran. How did he get engaged to Bai Shuang in the blink of an eye?!" Yin Shixiong kept clicking his tongue. "What the hell is he doing?!"
Gu Nianzhi murmured, "Not only did Brother Ze go to the Bai family, but he also thanked the guests in front of Bai Shuang's coffin as her fiancé? This, this, this … "
"You have nothing to say, right?" Yin Shixiong nodded heavily. "He ignored me when I pulled him. Do you know? In the eyes of the people in the imperial capital, this is equivalent to the two of them being husband and wife. "
Although there was no legally recognized relationship, the de facto husband and wife relationship was set in stone.
By doing this, he was completely cutting off any possibility of being with Bai Yueran …
Yin Shixiong held his breath and couldn't find a chance to say a word to Zhao Liangze.
He originally thought it wouldn't be too late to ask Gu Nianzhi when she came back.
However, he didn't expect Major General Huo to book a first-class Aeroflot ticket for Gu Nianzhi in the blink of an eye and take her to Moscow.
Yin Shixiong had no choice but to take advantage of going to the airport to "forcibly" borrow Gu Nianzhi.
He knew that Huo Shaoheng understood what he wanted to ask and wouldn't mind.
Gu Nianzhi had grown up with them, so Yin Shixiong knew that she wasn't someone who liked to keep people guessing.
Gu Nianzhi didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, she asked faintly, "What about Director Bai? How did Bai Yueran react? "
