Huo Shaoheng slowly finished the last mouthful of the red vegetable soup before putting down the knife and fork. He wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"Sit, do you want something to eat?"
Huo Shaoheng looked up at Vladimir and the driver, Ivan, who were standing next to him and Peter.
The two of them had just flown to the Tunguska Resort.
Vladimir's face was expressionless and he didn't move.
The driver, on the other hand, sat down next to Huo Shaoheng and asked him with widened eyes, "… Where's Cereus?! Didn't you say that you and Cereus were on a private road trip?! How dare you lie to me?! "
As he spoke, he punched Huo Shaoheng's back.
Huo Shaoheng didn't dodge. He just grunted and straightened his back to take the blow.
The driver saw that Huo Shaoheng didn't even dodge, so he felt a little embarrassed.
Moreover, Huo Shaoheng's back was as hard as iron. Even his fist hurt a little..
Shaking his hand, the driver grunted, "Why didn't you dodge? Are you apologizing? I'm not someone who forgives others so easily! "
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and looked up at Vladimir, who was looking at him coldly. "Are you willing to listen to my reason?"
Vladimir's face darkened as he glared at Huo Shaoheng fiercely. "You better have a good reason. Otherwise, hmph!"
He didn't say what would happen, but it was obvious that his expression was already very ugly.
Huo Shaoheng stood up. "Follow me."
He led them to the sinkhole that had collapsed.
Standing at the intersection, he looked at the sinkhole that had expanded by almost a third. The bottom of the sinkhole had been compacted by mudslides and trees, and there were no longer any abysses or secret passages.
Huo Shaoheng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Vladimir. "Do you want one?"
Vladimir shook his head and took out a cigar. "I'll smoke this."
Huo Shaoheng nodded and asked Peter and the driver.
Peter took it, but he didn't smoke it. He just played with it in his hand.
The driver took it without hesitation and put it in his mouth. He moved closer to Huo Shaoheng, lit up the cigarette, and took a deep puff.
Huo Shaoheng's cigarettes didn't have a brand, so they couldn't be bought on the market. It was a special brand, and the quality was especially good. The standard Yunyan cigarettes were famous for being "clear, sweet, and fragrant."
Huo Shaoheng lowered his head and took a puff. "I came here to chase that car. Because the people in the car kidnapped Cereus. "
"What?!" The driver was the first to jump up. "What did you say?! Cereus had been kidnapped?! Who did this?! Is it those bastards from other countries?! "
Vladimir deeply agreed. His expression was no longer as tense, but he still couldn't bear it. "Are you serious? Cereus … was kidnapped? "
Huo Shaoheng calmly recounted what had happened in Gu Nianzhi's apartment, then said, "Four identical SUVs drove out of the Third Ring Road and headed in four directions. We found three cars, and the fourth was the one parked here."
He pointed in the direction of the sinkhole.
Peter also added to what happened just now. He also recorded the video to show that everything Huo Shaoheng said was true.
Vladimir looked at the video in shock.
They hadn't set up this trap, but who would be so powerful?
They were trying to involve the Russian KGB as well, weren't they?!
He immediately said, "Major General Huo, please believe us. We have such a good relationship with Cereus. We're definitely not the kind of despicable people who would touch someone's family just because they have a grudge against their work!"
For intelligence industry workers like them, it was a taboo to have their family targeted for revenge.
Therefore, in the eyes of Vladimir and the driver, Gu Nianzhi had been kidnapped because of Huo Shaoheng. She had been caught in the crossfire.
Huo Shaoheng's enemy must have kidnapped her to threaten Huo Shaoheng.
This kind of thing was a big taboo for regular intelligence agencies.
Everyone had family, so who would want to encounter such a situation?
Only despicable terrorists with no bottom line would use kidnapping someone's family to threaten people.
Peter smiled and said slowly, "Who's so powerful that they could kidnap someone from Major General Huo's hands?"
The driver was so angry that he howled, "… I want to see which SOB is so fearless that he dares to touch our family!"
At that moment, Gu Nianzhi had already become his "family" in his heart.
Peter couldn't help glancing at him and reminded him, "… Cereus isn't Russian."
In other words, what did it have to do with them?
The driver spat at him. "Peter, how can you be so cruel? Serves you right for not having a girlfriend! "
Peter: "???"
He was just trying to be fair. Who did his future girlfriend offend?
Vladimir looked at Huo Shaoheng's solemn expression and patted him on the shoulder. "Tell us. If you need our help, we won't hide it."
He pouted at Peter. "Here, Peter is the best at tracking. Tell him about it, and he might give you a surprise."
Huo Shaoheng didn't expect anyone to help him. He only told them about the matter in the hope that these people wouldn't cause trouble for him.
Moreover, he couldn't tell them the real reason why Gu Nianzhi had been kidnapped.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I know what I'm doing. I appreciate your kindness. I have to come this time. This is the last car. I hope you can understand. "
No matter what reason he had, he had indeed lied to the driver.
However, the driver didn't care at all. He quickly said, "I can understand that you're doing it for Cereus. Don't apologize. When Cereus comes back, remember to ask her to tell us that she's safe. "
When he said this, he looked at Huo Shaoheng with almost pity in his eyes.
Even the most picky Vladimir didn't say a word. He didn't say anything about pursuing Huo Shaoheng's responsibility.
The three of them looked at each other and felt that Gu Nianzhi was doomed.
This kind of thing wasn't uncommon.
It was usually revenge. You killed my people back then, so I killed your family to vent my anger.
If Gu Nianzhi had really been kidnapped by Huo Shaoheng's international enemies this time, then she probably wouldn't be able to come back.
Huo Shaoheng knew that they had misunderstood, but he didn't explain because there was no way to explain it. The more he said, the more trouble Gu Nianzhi would be in.
Huo Shaoheng didn't want the KGB to join the ranks of those who coveted Gu Nianzhi's special constitution.
He turned the car key and said, "That's how it is. I have to go back. There are no clues here, but I have other clues to follow. "
"Okay then. We'll also help you keep an eye on things. Once we have news of Cereus, we'll definitely let you know. "Vladimir shook his hand and said goodbye.
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and said softly, "I hope you can keep this a secret and don't let anyone else know about this."
The middle-aged driver didn't understand. "Why? Only when everyone knows can they help you find her? "
"I don't want to be the focus of the news," Huo Shaoheng said implicitly. "Can you understand how I feel?"
"Okay." The middle-aged driver realized that Huo Shaoheng hadn't given up on the pursuit, so he sympathized with him. "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone."
The KGB was the best at keeping secrets anyway, so it wasn't difficult to do so.
Watching Huo Shaoheng get into the car and drive away, the middle-aged driver asked in confusion, "… Does he think Cereus is still alive?"
Vladimir empathized with Huo Shaoheng's feelings and said faintly, "As long as he doesn't see the body, he'll think she's still alive, living in a corner of the world."
..
Huo Shaoheng's expression was solemn as he quickly drove back to the airport. After completing the simple procedures, he quickly boarded his private plane.
Russia's Siberian International Airport wasn't big or small, but there were still many planes taking off and landing every day.
They waited at the airport for a while before the airport's air traffic control signaled that they could take off. The private plane immediately whistled into the sky and flew towards the imperial capital.
Sitting on the plane, he rubbed his phone and opened it to look at the messages Gu Nianzhi had sent him in the past. He felt very upset.
More than 30 hours had passed, but there was still no news from Gu Nianzhi.
Where was his breakthrough point?
Who else knew about Gu Nianzhi's special constitution?
Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of He Zhichu.
He should know, right?
Although Huo Shaoheng wasn't sure, he only suspected that He Zhichu might know because they had never talked about it openly.
Of course, Huo Shaoheng didn't want to take the initiative to mention it. He wanted as few people as possible to know about Gu Nianzhi's special constitution.
Now there was only Chen Lie, and he was still causing trouble for him from time to time.
He Zhichu had never talked to him about it either.
They had always been in a tacit state.
But would He Zhichu do such a thing?
