"Didn't you want to bring their coffins back to the Huaxia Empire? Why are you back here? " Huo Shaoheng looked down at the obviously new tombstone in front of him. The name engraved on it was in Spanish, so he couldn't tell who it was.
The old woman took a handkerchief and wiped the tombstone in front of her reluctantly. She whispered, "That gentleman left. He asked someone to send me back …"
Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat. His eyes darkened as he looked at the new grave in front of him, as if he couldn't wait to see through it.
Yin Shixiong whispered to Zhao Liangze, "Professor He must have predicted that we would definitely come to his hometown to wait for him, so he simply sent this person back, right?!"
"… Is this how he told us his true background?" Zhao Liangze took out his phone and sent a text message to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng looked down at it and didn't comment.
He tapped his finger on the tombstone twice and turned to look at the old woman. "Are you willing to return to the Huaxia Empire? If you are, I can bring you and their coffins back to the Huaxia Empire for burial. "
"Huh? Really? You're from the Huaxia Empire? " The old woman was surprised and delighted. She looked up at him eagerly. "I want to go back to the northeast. That's our real hometown …"
"No problem." Huo Shaoheng remembered Gu Nianzhi's grandfather, Gu Haoze's suicide note, and his eyes darkened. He pointed at the tombstones in the cemetery and said, "They all came from the northeast?"
"Yes, it's been many years. After the war ended, we lived here." The old woman sighed. "I heard that our country is very powerful now …"
The old Chinese who had left their homeland for decades were like duckweed. Their greatest wish was to return to their roots.
No matter how much turmoil their homeland had experienced and how much mud they had walked through, it always had an unusual attraction to the Huaxia Empire.
No matter how far they went, they wanted to come back in the end.
Since Huo Shaoheng had agreed to take them back, he naturally had the ability to do so.
The old woman didn't refuse, nor did she think about whether Huo Shaoheng was a liar.
After all, she was almost 70 years old and had nothing. She only guarded this cemetery. What could she have to be cheated of?
She only wanted to return to the Huaxia Empire. If Huo Shaoheng could fulfill her last wish, so what if she was cheated by him?
The old woman didn't know Huo Shaoheng's identity and status at all. She only felt that he was a very capable and reliable person.
Under Huo Shaoheng's instructions, all the remains of the He family in the cemetery were quickly extracted from the ground, placed in small coffins, and transported to the airport at the foot of the mountain.
The old woman pointed at the two new coffins she had just brought back and said, "This is Mr. He and this is the young master."
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's eyes twitched. "Who? Who is Young Master? "
"… Ah-Chu … My Ah-Chu, He Zhichu," the old woman said stubbornly as she slowly stroked the new cherry wood coffin with her hand.
Yin Shixiong, Zhao Liangze, and Little Cui looked at each other. None of them believed the old woman's words.
Although the coffin was new, the two skeletons inside were already skeletons. They had been dead for at least ten years.
This person was He Zhichu?!
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and directed them to board the plane.
This time, he had mobilized a transport plane to transport the remains of the He family cemetery.
Little Cui ran back and forth to help. In the end, when he saw the plane fly into the clouds, his eyes were still red, and he waved his hands in the airport for a long time.
..
Sitting in his private plane, Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong sat opposite him. The old woman insisted on staying with the He family's remains. They couldn't dissuade her, so they let her sit on the transport plane.
Therefore, only Huo Shaoheng, Yin Shixiong, and Zhao Liangze were in the private plane.
Zhao Liangze looked at the old woman's oral notes that he had recorded and whispered to Yin Shixiong, "According to this nanny, He Zhichu left this place at the age of 16. How did he finish college, law school, and become a full-time professor at Harvard Law School in seven years?"
Yin Shixiong: "…"
"Only Nianzhi can achieve this speed, right?"
The underachiever said sourly, expressing that he didn't understand the world of the top students.
Zhao Liangze shook his head. "It's not just a matter of education. Professor He's demeanor and habits really don't look like a teenager who has lived in a small town in South America for 16 years. "
..
The two planes flew for another 30 hours and finally returned to Terminal T3 of the Huaxia Imperial Capital International Airport from Bolivia in South America.
In two days and one night, they had returned from winter to summer.
The old woman got off the plane and looked at the ultra-modern new airport. Countless large planes were lined up neatly on the tarmac.
In the distance, the lanterns were lit, and the lights were like practice, decorating the entire city with brilliant colors.
Compared to the devastated country they had left decades ago, this scene was like a lifetime ago.
The old woman covered her mouth with her hand and sobbed, "I'm back. I brought you back." With that, her body tilted and she fell to the ground.
"Call an ambulance!" Huo Shaoheng walked over quickly. Yin Shixiong had already squatted down to check the old woman's breathing. He then opened her eyes and face to take a look. His heart suddenly felt suffocated.
"Major General Huo … she's already gone …"
Huo Shaoheng looked at the old woman and silently took off his military cap. He observed a five-minute silence, then ordered her body to be frozen and sent back to the northeast for burial.
He returned to the special operations forces with seven or eight small coffins. Huo Shaoheng handed them to Chen Lie, as well as a few strands of hair found in He Zhichu's suite in the B University professor's building. "Test the DNA."
These people had been dead for a long time, but the DNA in the bone grafts and teeth could be extracted.
Chen Lie was experienced and knowledgeable. He did not ask further about Huo Shaoheng's request. He immediately went into the laboratory to extract the DNA and prepare for sequencing.
Eight hours later, his sequencing was completed.
The results shocked him.
"Major General Huo! Come quickly! "Chen Lie hurriedly called Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng rushed over immediately. He asked Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze to stand guard at the door while he talked to him in Chen Lie's office.
"What's the result?" Huo Shaoheng asked in a deep voice.
Chen Lie showed him the DNA sequencing results and rubbed his hands. "These people are all relatives. There's no doubt about that. The two skeletons you asked me to focus on … "He pointed at the two small coffins that the old woman had brought back to Uyuni town." They're father and son. "
Huo Shaoheng nodded with a calm expression. "What else? He Zhichu's hair I gave you … "
"This is the most amazing discovery!" Chen Lie knocked on the writing board in the office with the pointer he used to teach. He said excitedly, "He Zhichu's DNA is … exactly the same as this 16-year-old boy's!"
Huo Shaoheng suddenly looked up. "Really? Exactly the same? How similar are they? "
"Just like identical twins." Chen Lie laughed. "They're even more similar than identical twins. It's like two backup files. One is a copy of the other."
Identical twins might have different DNA nodes, but there was no difference between He Zhichu and the boy who died at the age of 16.
It could be said that if the 16-year-old He Zhichu grew up, he would look like the Professor He they were familiar with.
However, this Professor He and the boy who died at the age of 16 were clearly two different people!
Huo Shaoheng put his hands behind his back and frowned slightly. He muttered in Chen Lie's office, "He Zhichu's nanny said that Mr. He only had one son and no twins."
"That's strange." Chen Lie spread his hands. "It can't be human cloning, because no country has such technology. To be honest, whoever has such technology can go to heaven. A few years ago, a certain country cloned a sheep. It was a short-lived sheep with all kinds of genetic defects. The human cloning process is even more complicated. Under current conditions, it's completely impossible to clone a healthy, normal, and intelligent person like Professor He. "
In a sense, genetic technology was more difficult to develop than advanced weapons.
"Even geniuses can't do it?" Huo Shaoheng thought of Gu Xiangwen. He remembered this amazing person's resume.
"Nianzhi's father started his MD + PhD at the age of 16. Others would take eight years to complete, but he finished it in three. After that, he worked as a resident doctor for two years and became interested in physics. At the age of 20, he applied for a PhD in physics from MIT, which was ranked number one. He graduated in only three years. "
"After his PhD in physics, he went to pursue a PhD in biology."
Huo Shaoheng looked up at Chen Lie. "Look, Gu Xiangwen's last degree was a PhD in biology."
Could it be related to genetic technology?
Chen Lie thought for a moment and shook his head. "That's unlikely. I've also studied the academic papers that Gu Xiangwen published. In terms of biology, his research isn't in the direction of cloning, so I don't think he can clone a healthy and normal person."
"Besides, if he could, he wouldn't be helpless about his daughter's illness." Chen Lie pointed out another piece of evidence. "Do you still remember his last words?"
His greatest regret before he died was that he didn't cure his daughter's genetic disease.
That was another suspicious point.
He Zhichu's line of communication was completely cut off, and there was still no news of Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Xiangwen's heaven-defying technology didn't include the genetic level, so where was his breakthrough point?
Huo Shaoheng walked around the room a few times. The text message He Zhichu sent him before he disappeared kept echoing in his mind.
"… Avenge Little Nianzhi. Kill Gu Yanran. One life for one life."
Gradually, the suspicion in his heart pointed to one person.
He turned around and said, "Seal all your sequencing results and list them as top secret materials. I'll go find the truth!"
..
Huo Shaoheng brought Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze to the place where Gu Yanran was being held.
This was the territory of the Special Operations Forces, and the security here was even stronger than that of a local prison.
They walked in the deep corridor. The building here was like a fortress, and there were no windows at all.
Normally, there was still time to relax in a prison, but being locked up here, one could only see the ceiling of the cell.
The prisoners locked up here couldn't go online or make phone calls. At most, they could only watch newspapers and television.
If Gu Yanran was the one who led Gu Nianzhi's disappearance and kidnapping, how could she send the news to the outside world? It was obviously impossible.
He Zhichu must have meant something else when he said, "If you want to avenge Little Nianzhi, kill Gu Yanran. One life for one life."
Huo Shaoheng fell into deep thought again.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze were extremely nervous.
The results of the He family's DNA sequencing were too unbelievable. Both of them hadn't recovered yet.
If it wasn't a clone? Then what was it?
Huo Shaoheng was also wondering if he was searching in the wrong direction.
Didn't those people kidnap Gu Nianzhi because of her special constitution?
But what did the text message he received on Director Chen's phone mean?
Could it be that the person who sent the text message to Director Chen wasn't in cahoots with the people who kidnapped Gu Nianzhi?
After seeing Gu Yanran, their chaotic emotions gradually calmed down.
Huo Shaoheng's expression was calm as he strode in.
Gu Yanran was the only one sitting in the small square room.
The last time, it was also here that Huo Shaoheng had brought Gu Nianzhi here to meet Gu Yanran.
It had only been less than a month.
Gu Yanran was still wearing the gray prison uniform, and she looked even more haggard than the last time.
She was originally elegant and graceful, but now, all of that had disappeared.
She was so thin that she was only bones. Her face was devoid of flesh, making her cheekbones look especially high. Her lips were especially thin, and her face looked even more mean.
"Huh? Huo Shao, it's only been less than a month. Why are you here again? Where's Nianzhi? Didn't she come with you? "Gu Yanran glanced behind Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng walked in front of her and stood still with his hands behind his back. His face was expressionless. "Gu Yanran, I'll ask you one last time. What else are you hiding from us? This time, I don't have the patience to wait for you to continue thinking. If you still don't tell me, I won't be polite. "
Gu Yanran sat on the chair and narrowed her eyes at Huo Shaoheng. "What else is there to hide? What do you mean? "
Huo Shaoheng took two steps forward and pulled out his gun. He pressed it against Gu Yanran's chin and raised her head. He said calmly, "That's what I mean. What did you do to Nianzhi? Hurry up and confess. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make your life a living hell. "
His tone was flat, but his tone made people shudder.
He hadn't tortured her in the past because torture was useless in the case of Gu Xiangwen.
None of them had seen Gu Xiangwen before. Even if she made up a story, they wouldn't be able to verify the truth.
But Gu Nianzhi was different. All of them were familiar with Gu Nianzhi. If Gu Yanran made up a story, they would immediately be able to tell the truth and make her reincarnate!
Although Gu Yanran tried her best to hold it in, she still shivered at Huo Shaoheng's tone. The fear in her eyes was difficult to suppress. "What … What did you say? I don't understand … "
"You really don't understand?" Huo Shaoheng pressed the gun against Gu Yanran's chin even tighter. His eyes were deep, and his straight nose left a clear shadow on his face.
"Tell me, what did you do to Nianzhi?!"
Gu Yanran frowned slightly. "What can I do to her? I'm locked up here. I can't even make a phone call or go online. What can I do to her? "
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes lit up, and her entire body lit up.
Holding Huo Shaoheng's wrist, Gu Yanran asked anxiously, "Did something happen to Gu Nianzhi? Did something happen to that fake?! "
"Fake?" Huo Shaoheng's sharp eyes swept over. "You're saying Nianzhi is a fake? You're really crazy. Did you forget the lawsuit in court? Do you still think you're the daughter of the Gu family? "
