Time ticked by. Gu Nianzhi had been calling for two hours, but there was still no response from the other end of the line.
At lunchtime, Zhao Liangze finished cooking and asked Gu Nianzhi to come out.
She bit her chopsticks as she looked at the dishes on the table: pan-fried dried fish, prawns with garlic vermicelli, salad spinach, and corn rib soup. These were all her favorites, but she had no appetite.
"… Brother Ze, did you just call Uncle Huo?" Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes as she listlessly picked up some spinach with her chopsticks and placed it in her bowl.
Zhao Liangze grunted, "Of course, because I wanted to tell him the news."
"Oh." Gu Nianzhi lost her appetite.
He could have answered the phone, but he wouldn't.
He even said that very few people knew that number, and that he would pick up if she called.
Liar, liar, they were all liars …
Gu Nianzhi's tears were about to fall, but she forced them back. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and turned to leave, saying hastily, "I'm not hungry, I'm not eating today. I still have homework to do, I'm going to the library to do it."
She rushed to her room and slammed the door shut. Leaning against the door, she covered her face and tried to suppress the sobs that threatened to overtake her.
At that moment, her phone rang again.
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed.
Although it wasn't the special ringtone she had set for Huo Shaoheng, maybe Uncle Huo had changed his number?
She excitedly took out her phone and swiped it open without looking, "Hello?!"
"Nianzhi?" It was Mei Xiawen's voice, "Is that you?"
Gu Nianzhi couldn't describe how she felt.
Although she was a little disappointed, Mei Xiawen's gentle voice was miraculously healing.
She didn't want to put down the phone.
"Xiawen? It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? "Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch, it should be almost one in the morning in the Hua Xia Empire.
Mei Xiawen stood under the night sky of C City and looked up at the stars. He said softly, "I missed you, I couldn't sleep …"
The softest part of Gu Nianzhi's heart was finally hit hard.
Her nose ached and her eyes reddened. She quickly looked up to stop the tears from falling.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so artistic? "Gu Nianzhi wiped her face, her voice incredibly soft and gentle.
The sound echoed in Mei Xiawen's ears, making his heart itch. It finally diluted the impact of the ginger red tea that afternoon.
He knew that Gu Nianzhi was the only one who could protect him from Jiang Hongcha's influence.
He stood on the balcony, gazing at the moon in the sky. He remembered that Jiang Hongcha had come to see him in the office that afternoon with a small cake.
The two of them were originally sitting and chatting, chatting about their former classmates and friends. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
He didn't know when, but Jiang Hongcha sat down with him.
The two of them were so close that he could see her long eyelashes and delicate white skin when he raised his head.
Then she suddenly stopped talking and forbade him to speak.
"… Kiss me." She closed her eyes in front of him, pouting his irresistible red lips.
As if attracted by the devil, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
He wanted only to taste her, but her arms came round his neck and deepened the kiss.
If someone hadn't knocked on the door to give him the material, he didn't know how far they would have kissed …
"We can't do this." Mei Xiawen finally pushed Jiang Hongcha away. "I already have a girlfriend. Go, and don't come looking for me again. "
Jiang Hongcha stood up gracefully and tucked her long hair behind her head. She said meaningfully, "I won't come looking for you again, but you can come looking for me." She turned to leave, leaving the room filled with the faint scent of jasmine. It was her favorite Coco Chanel jasmine perfume.
Mei Xiawen tossed and turned restlessly at her words. He couldn't sleep all night.
In the end, he had no choice but to get up and call Gu Nianzhi.
Fortunately, Mei Xiawen calmed down as soon as he heard her voice.
Jiang Hongcha's magic disappeared without a trace in the face of Gu Nianzhi's soft, moving voice.
"I just miss you. When are you coming back? I can't wait. How about I go to the United States with you? That way we won't have to wait six months. "Mei Xiawen reached out and felt the gentle night breeze on the balcony. It was soft and numb.
He remembered the time he had hugged Gu Nianzhi in the United States. It was like hugging a cloud, unbelievably soft.
Gu Nianzhi chuckled and gripped her phone. She was touched. "Can you really come?"
Her voice was filled with emotion, and it was completely different from polite words.
Mei Xiawen sensed it. He froze, then became ecstatic. He turned around on the balcony. "Do you really want me to come?!"
Gu Nianzhi desperately wanted someone to be with her.
For the first time, she felt the kind of companionship she wanted. It was different from the companionship of people like Brother Ze and Brother Xiong.
"… If you can come, we can be together right away. We won't have to wait six months." Gu Nianzhi said impulsively.
She was like a child playing with the sand at the beach. She just wanted to hold on to as much as she could before the tide washed away all the sand she had.
Mei Xiawen immediately agreed. "I'll book the plane tickets tomorrow!" After saying that, he quickly felt sleepy. He yawned and said, "Then I'm going to sleep. You go ahead with your work."
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Go ahead. Don't stay up late again."
…
At the same time, Huo Shaoheng and the B Team of the 6th Military Region's Special Operations Forces arrived at the landing pad of the Imperial Secret Service by helicopter.
Under the deep blue sky of the Imperial Capital, a large Mi-26 helicopter rumbled with its propellers and landed steadily on the landing pad.
Huo Shaoheng had already parachuted with 40 members and rushed to the door of a private office on the 27th floor of the Secret Service building.
He kicked the door open and shouted, "Hands up! Special Operations Forces, action! "
The people in the room immediately raised their hands and looked over angrily.
One person shouted, "What are you doing?! This is the office of the deputy director of the Imperial Secret Service! Who dares to mess around?! "
Huo Shaoheng held an M16 submachine gun and loaded it. His footsteps were heavy as he walked over from behind his team. "… Where's Bai Yusheng? Call him out! "
Bai Yusheng was one of the deputy directors of the Imperial Secret Service. He was in charge of the US intelligence system.
He was also Bai Shuang's father and Bai Yueran's uncle.
"Deputy Director Bai?" The people in the room looked at each other. "He's not here."
"Not here?!" Huo Shaoheng couldn't suppress his anger, but he didn't yell. He kept his voice low and said, "Every member of the Secret Service has a tracking chip in their body, which is controlled by the 6th Military Region. The chip can't be removed unless they leave the Secret Service or die. "
"… Major General Huo, what do you mean?" someone in the Secret Service recognized Huo Shaoheng and couldn't help but ask.
"I mean, Bai Yusheng's tracking chip shows that he's in this office, but you're telling me that he's not here?!" Huo Shaoheng waved his hand at his team members. "Search."
The members of the Special Operations Forces immediately opened all the rooms and cabinets in the office. In the end, they only found a tracking chip under a potted plant on the windowsill. It was Bai Yusheng's chip.
Huo Shaoheng wore white gloves and took the chip. He pursed his lips and said, "Detain everyone here. Inform the Military Police Department to come and take over. Inform the Senate and government officials that the Secret Service's personnel in North America have been wiped out. Order them to immediately stop all activities in North America and evacuate! "
Thanks to Gu Nianzhi's reminder, Huo Shaoheng had been able to trace Xin Xinggao's background to Zeng Quan, the deputy director of the Nandou Research and Development Center, and then to Bai Yusheng, the deputy director of the Secret Service.
Why did the Americans still value Xin Xinggao so much? It wasn't because she was powerful, but because she had important people like Zeng Quan and Bai Yusheng behind her!
