"Let's go." He Zhichu escorted Gu Nianzhi out of the courtroom and into the parking lot.
He Zhichu didn't understand why Gu Nianzhi still looked so worried. "I told you not to worry. These videotapes are their final trump card."
"I'm not worried about my case." Gu Nianzhi said honestly.
"Then what are you worried about?" He Zhichu was even more confused.
"I'm worried … that Xin Xinggao has something else that could harm national interests …" Gu Nianzhi said anxiously, but she was actually worried about Huo Shaoheng.
To Huo Shaoheng, protecting the nation's interests was his greatest responsibility. It was also a goal that he would protect wholeheartedly, even to the point of giving up his life for.
He Zhichu put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at her quietly for a while. He suddenly snorted and muttered, "… I didn't know you loved that country so much …"
"What did you say?" Gu Nianzhi was too engrossed in her thoughts to hear what He Zhichu said.
"I said, I didn't know you were so patriotic." There was a hint of mockery in He Zhichu's words. His eyes flickered with indescribable emotions.
"What's wrong with being patriotic? I'm a citizen of the Huaxia Empire, isn't it natural for me to love my country? "Gu Nianzhi didn't like hearing He Zhichu speak to her in such a tone.
He Zhichu sensed her displeasure and opened his mouth, but he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He patted her head and smiled. "Fine, as long as you're happy." He tried his best to restrain himself from showing a cold expression in front of her.
He Zhichu nodded at Zhao Liangze and turned to get into his car.
Gu Nianzhi frowned as she watched him drive away. She followed Zhao Liangze into the yellow Hummer, which was also He Zhichu's car. He had sent it to pick them up for safety reasons.
When they returned to her apartment, Gu Nianzhi went to Zhao Liangze's room and quietly recounted her conversation with He Zhichu in court. She then asked, "Brother Ze, do you think Xin Xinggao has anything else that we can use?"
Zhao Liangze's brows furrowed as he shook his head, "I didn't hear anything further when I was in the Empire. However, we have to tell Huo Shao about this as soon as possible. If there's anything we've overlooked, we have to make up for it quickly. "
Xin Xinggao's father had already been relieved of his duties, and all of the Nandou System's overseas connections had been rechecked. Everything was normal when Zhao Liangze came out.
Could it be that they had overlooked something?
"Then hurry up and tell me …" Gu Nianzhi hesitated. "Can I … watch from the side?"
Zhao Liangze had something on his mind, so he immediately refused her. "No, it might be confidential. Your security clearance is not high enough, so you can't listen."
"Oh." Gu Nianzhi was a bit disappointed but didn't insist. She quietly returned to her room.
Zhao Liangze quickly contacted Huo Shaoheng.
It was 11 o 'clock in the evening in China.
Huo Shaoheng was writing a report on perfecting the 6th Military Region's organizational structure in his study.
He heard the call coming from his earpiece and looked up at the computer. It was Zhao Liangze calling him.
He took off his headset, opened the instant video communication system, and asked, "What's the matter? Has Nianzhi's case been closed? "
Huo Shaoheng looked at his watch. Gu Nianzhi's case should be in court at this time.
Zhao Liangze shook his head. "There's new evidence in the case. It'll be in court next week." As he spoke, he told him about the surveillance footage that had been obtained from investigating the people who had visited Xin Xinggao's ward. He added, "Nianzhi thinks that Xin Xinggao has something that the US can use to blackmail them. That's why the US military is still keeping a close eye on her."
Huo Shaoheng held the mouse in one hand and opened several confidential programs on the computer. He opened them one by one.
His finger gently traced across the corner of his lips. His eyes were dark and unfathomable. They were like bottomless black holes that even light couldn't escape from.
As he looked through the files, he suddenly seemed to understand something. His brows furrowed, and his eyes became murderous. "Something's wrong. Little Ze, keep an eye on Xin Xinggao. Since they have the surveillance footage, it'll be easier for you. "
Zhao Liangze was also nervous. "Huo Shao, is there really a problem?"
"Yes, I'll make arrangements immediately." Huo Shaoheng stood up. "Last time, we focused on the civilian code system that Xin Xinggao was directly involved in. We didn't investigate the people who developed the encrypted channel as carefully. We made a mistake."
Zhao Liangze's eyes widened. "No way?! The password for the encrypted channel … "
Huo Shaoheng whipped his head around and glared at him. His voice was stern. "Shut up!"
Zhao Liangze immediately shut his mouth. He stood up and bowed his head to the camera.
Huo Shaoheng didn't have time to reprimand him anymore. He strode out of the study and began issuing orders into his headset. "6th Military Region Team B, activate activity. All armed personnel with parachutes, be in position in five minutes. Helicopters in position. Target one, J City, Imperial Capital, Special Task Force. Over. "
A minute later, the alarm at the Special Operations Forces base sounded. It was the sound of an emergency assembly.
Three minutes later, 100 fully-armed Special Operations Forces Team B assembled at the airport where the helicopters were landing.
Huo Shaoheng had already changed into the same military uniform as them, but his gun was more powerful.
"Get in the helicopters. Target one, Room 532, Nandou R&D Center, J City, G Province. Take everyone inside with you. "Huo Shaoheng was the first to board the helicopter.
The 100 Special Operations Forces members followed.
The helicopter roared to life as it flew toward J City, G Province.
Because it was a special military operation, all airports in the country had received an urgent message. All air routes had to make way for the helicopter.
Two hours later, they arrived at the Nandou R&D Center in J City, G Province.
Huo Shaoheng jumped out first, and the members behind him followed.
…
A meeting was going on in Room 532, Nandou R&D Center. A group of people were smoking and smoking. It seemed that the meeting had been going on for a long time.
"Hands up! You're all under arrest! " The leader of Special Operations Forces Team B barged in and slapped an arrest warrant on the face of Zeng Quan, the deputy director of the Nandou R&D Center.
The people in the room paled. Before they could struggle, they were knocked down one by one by the Special Operations Forces members. Their mouths were gagged, and they were tied up and sent to the helicopter.
Huo Shaoheng left 50 Special Operations Forces members behind to take over the security system with his authorization letter.
"What are you doing?! I'm a soldier too, and I have a military rank! How can the 6th Military Region punish people like this?! " Zeng Quan finally snapped out of his daze after boarding the helicopter. He began to yell at the Special Operations Forces members guarding him.
Huo Shaoheng heard his yelling and pushed open a door. He said coldly, "Zeng Quan, how dare you call yourself a soldier? Tell me, what's your relationship with Xin Xinggao? Did she come into contact with any of the more confidential codes in the Nandou Project?! "
Hearing Xin Xinggao's name, Zeng Quan's flushed face drained of all color. He avoided Huo Shaoheng's fierce gaze and muttered, "… Xin Xinggao? I don't know what you're talking about. How would I know her? "
"You don't know her? Fine, we'll talk when we get back to the capital. "Huo Shaoheng suppressed his anger and turned to leave, kicking the door shut.
At the same time, Gu Nianzhi dialed the number Huo Shaoheng had left for her again and again, but couldn't get through.
