Yin Shixiong's heart skipped a beat when he heard that He Zhichu had returned to the United States.
He didn't waste any more time and quickly came out. He opened the car door and said anxiously to Huo Shaoheng, "Major General Huo, the building manager just said that Professor He returned to the United States a few hours ago …"
Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes and got out of the car. He quickly walked to the building manager and knocked on his counter. "Hand over the key to Professor He's apartment. The police are investigating the case."
"Police … Police …?!" The building manager was shocked. "What law did Professor He break? You want to investigate him?! "
"This has nothing to do with you." Huo Shaoheng waved his hand. Yin Shixiong quickly took out a police ID.
The special operations forces had a lot of IDs. They could take one whenever they needed it.
The building manager looked at Yin Shixiong and said timidly, "… You didn't show this ID just now."
Yin Shixiong said nonchalantly, "The police are handling a case. I just wanted to test you."
The building manager had no choice but to call the campus security department. After obtaining permission, he took Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong upstairs.
Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong walked in after opening the door of Professor He's apartment.
Everything in the room was in order, and there was an unfinished glass of red wine on the coffee table.
It looked like he had just gone downstairs for a walk. It was impossible to tell that the people here had already gone to the United States.
Why did He Zhichu suddenly return to the United States?
Huo Shaoheng didn't say a word and left He Zhichu's apartment with Yin Shixiong.
After returning to the headquarters of the special operations forces, Huo Shaoheng instructed, "Inform a few people to keep an eye on B University. Inform me when He Zhichu returns. Also, have the North American field agents keep an eye on He Zhichu. He has residences in Boston and Washington. "
After some thought, Huo Shaoheng added, "Also, keep an eye on the He family in South America. See if He Zhichu will return."
Yin Shixiong memorized everything and quickly went to arrange the manpower.
Ten minutes later, Yin Shixiong returned to report, "Major General Huo, the manpower has been arranged. B University, Boston and Washington in North America, and South America are all in place."
He then asked in confusion, "Why did Professor He suddenly return to the United States at this juncture? Is it related to Nianzhi's whereabouts? "
Huo Shaoheng clenched his fists and said calmly, "If it's not, then he has been too good at pretending these past two years.
All the things he had done for Gu Nianzhi and the feelings he had shown, were they all fake?
No matter what, He Zhichu would never harm Gu Nianzhi. Huo Shaoheng was very sure of that. So even though he had many questions in his mind, he still waited patiently for He Zhichu's plane to arrive at the airport in the United States.
It took twelve hours to fly from the Imperial Capital to the eastern United States.
Four or five hours had passed, and getting to America was not as easy as going to Russia.
By the time he finished all the paperwork, it would be too late to give chase. He was also worried that it was a trap like what happened in Tunguska, so he did not act rashly this time.
Huo Shaoheng instructed Zhao Liangze to keep in touch with He Zhichu as he returned to his official residence.
It was already midnight. With a sullen face, he went to the bedroom to get a few changes of clothes and returned to the office building.
That night, he did not sleep again. He took out all aspects related to the case and re-examined them to see if he had missed anything.
Gu Nianzhi's diamond earrings had been thrown away, and her phone couldn't be located. It seemed like the other party either knew them very well, or they were their foreign counterparts.
Because only those in the same trade as them could do things so meticulously.
But if it was a foreign counterpart, it was impossible for him to be ignorant.
One of the main tasks of the special operations forces in the field abroad was to keep an eye on their foreign counterparts.
If he hadn't noticed such a big thing, then Huo Shaoheng, as the general commander, could commit suicide to atone for his sins.
He had not done his job well at all.
But excluding their foreign counterparts, who else could do it to this extent?
He thought about it all the way. Every time he felt that there was a turning point, he would think of a new point of doubt. It was as if he had walked into a dead end.
Huo Shaoheng kept deducing from the form in front of him. It wasn't until a ray of dawn climbed onto his desk through the window crack that he realized it was already dawn.
He looked at his watch. It was already past six o 'clock. In two hours, He Zhichu's private plane should arrive on the east coast of the United States, right?
The special operations forces in North America had sent him flight information from several major airports on the east coast of the United States earlier, confirming that He Zhichu's plane would land at Boston International Airport.
Huo Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief and planned to call He Zhichu as soon as his plane arrived at the airport.
It was time for them to have a good talk.
Looking at the rising sun outside the window, Huo Shaoheng rubbed his temples and got up to lie on the sofa for a while.
He immediately fell asleep. When he woke up again, two hours had passed.
He Zhichu's plane should have landed by now.
Huo Shaoheng jumped up from the sofa and ordered Yin Shixiong, who had already arrived at work, to call He Zhichu immediately.
Yin Shixiong immediately dialed and found that it was still voicemail. No one answered the phone.
"Call the field and ask if He Zhichu's plane has landed." Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and walked around the office.
The special operations forces field officer at Boston International Airport looked at the information display and said to Yin Shixiong, "The plane has just landed. I'll go and ask again. "
In the end, he went to the tarmac and came back with a livid face. He said to Yin Shixiong, "… I was tricked by him. Professor He's private plane landed an hour ago, but he told the airport's air traffic control not to change the landing time! So the display still shows the original landing time! "
Yin Shixiong also felt that something was wrong when he heard this.
He turned to look at Huo Shaoheng and the corners of his mouth twitched. "Huo Shao, Professor He arrived in Boston an hour ago."
"Then where is he?!" Huo Shaoheng stopped. "Why can't I get through to him?!"
Yin Shixiong shook his head with a bitter smile. "How would I know? He just won't pick up … "
"Get Little Ze to come over and change the number and IP address. I don't believe he won't pick up." Huo Shaoheng punched the desk and gritted his teeth. "This He Zhichu! What the hell is he doing! "
Zhao Liangze was also called over and began to use various methods to call He Zhichu's phone.
However, whether it was his phone or his landline, there was only voicemail.
They tried for an entire hour until the status of He Zhichu's phone suddenly changed to "The number you have dialed is not in the service area …"
It was exactly the same situation as when they called Gu Nianzhi's phone!
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze looked at each other. They both had a bad feeling.
Huo Shaoheng's face was dark. He strode over and stood behind Zhao Liangze. Just as he was about to see how he was tracking He Zhichu's phone, his phone suddenly rang.
He quickly took it out. Before he could swipe it open, he saw a text message pop up. It was actually from He Zhichu!
[He Zhichu]: I'm going home. I'm never coming back. You don't have to continue looking for Nianzhi. If you want to avenge Little Nianzhi, kill Gu Yanran and pay with your life.
What did this mean?
Huo Shaoheng was stunned.
What did He Zhichu mean?
Did he know that Gu Nianzhi was already …?
Huo Shaoheng's entire body was cold. It was as if the arctic air had suddenly invaded his office. He was almost frozen from the inside out.
He stood in the middle of his office, his eyes fixed on his phone. He was as motionless as a clay sculpture.
The veins on his forehead were bulging. He gripped his phone so tightly that he almost crushed it.
Seeing this, Yin Shixiong quickly came over and tried to take the phone from him. He shouted, "Don't lose your temper at the phone. There's a lot of important information in it …"
At that moment, he saw the text message from He Zhichu. It flashed on Huo Shaoheng's phone screen and disappeared.
The phone screen turned black and entered locked mode again.
Yin Shixiong's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide that an egg could be stuffed in.
"This, this, this … What does Professor He mean?! Nianzhi … Nianzhi has already been killed? Could this have something to do with Gu Yanran?! "Yin Shixiong was in disbelief.
He screamed, "… No way?! Gu Yanran was specially imprisoned by us! She's been locked up for almost a year! How could she have planned such an operation? "
"If she's so powerful, why didn't she go to heaven? Why didn't she kidnap herself first, but deal with Nianzhi first? "
"This is completely illogical!"
Yin Shixiong refused to believe this possibility.
Zhao Liangze looked up from behind the computer and asked blankly, "Big Xiong, what nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning? What happened to Nianzhi? She'll be fine. Xiao Ye is fine … Besides, what does this have to do with Gu Yanran? "
Huo Shaoheng couldn't figure it out either, and for some reason, his heart was beating wildly.
The sound of thumping echoed in his ears like a drum.
What did He Zhichu mean?!
After a long time, Huo Shaoheng let out a sigh and slowly calmed down. He raised his head and said word by word, "… I want to see her if she's alive, and I want to see her corpse if she's dead. Have our people in North America follow He Zhichu immediately, and have the South American field agents guard near the He family's house in South America. See when he'll return. "
He wanted to run away after saying something that made no sense?
Did he really think he didn't know where his hometown was?
He wouldn't come back just because he said he wouldn't come back?
Huo Shaoheng's eyes were solemn.
When He Zhichu appeared two years ago, Huo Shaoheng had sent people to investigate his background in South America.
The underground godfather of South America was indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't compete with the power of the entire Huaxia Empire.
Like Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze, Huo Shaoheng also refused to believe that Gu Nianzhi had been killed.
However, He Zhichu's mention of "Gu Yanran" in his text message alerted him.
Could it be that there really was a loophole in their manpower?
That Gu Yanran could wreak havoc in their territory?
But just as Yin Shixiong had said, this was illogical.
If Gu Yanran really had such great power, the first thing she would do would be to get herself out of prison.
Otherwise, she would be in Huo Shaoheng's hands. Even if she killed Gu Nianzhi, she wouldn't be able to escape death.
This didn't make sense at all.
However, since He Zhichu had said so, he must have had his reasons.
Huo Shaoheng had already made up his mind as he thought about it. He said, "… As for Gu Yanran, check all the surveillance cameras in the place where Gu Yanran is being held again. Don't make any moves for the time being. Be tight on the outside but loose on the inside. Don't alert the enemy. See if anyone has contacted her."
He wanted to wait and see who was so powerful that they dared to support Gu Yanran at this critical juncture.
That place was the territory of the Special Operations Forces, and there were people more important and powerful than Gu Yanran imprisoned there. However, so far, no one had been able to do anything in there.
What was going on?
