Walking out of the Secret Service building, Huo Shaoheng looked up at the night sky and slowly exhaled.
He had rushed over, but Bai Yusheng had still managed to escape.
Yin Shixiong came over and handed him a cigarette.
The two of them stood under a tree not far from the Secret Service building and lit a cigarette.
For them, smoking was the fastest way to relieve tension.
Yin Shixiong received a call from the Senate and the head of government's office before finishing his cigarette.
"Mr. Huo, they're looking for you. They want you to go to the Senate hall." Yin Shixiong finished the call and passed the message to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng threw the cigarette butt into the trash can under the tree and threw the M16 submachine gun to Yin Shixiong. "Let's go."
…
At three o 'clock in the morning, Huo Shaoheng was already standing on the podium in the Senate hall. He was reporting the operation to the Speaker of the Senate, the Foreign Affairs and Intelligence Committee, and the heads of government agencies.
General Ji, the supreme commander of the military, had a dark expression on his face. He sat in the last row with his guards and personal secretary. He looked angry, but he was actually there to support Huo Shaoheng.
The Deputy Director of the Secret Service, Bai Yusheng, had a very high rank, and his Bai family had deep roots in the upper echelons of the Huaxia Empire.
Huo Shaoheng had gone against the Bai family without informing anyone. If he didn't have a good reason, it would be difficult to deal with him.
Huo Shaoheng was the reserve echelon that General Ji had painstakingly trained. He was going to take over the position of supreme commander of the Imperial Army, so there was no room for mistakes.
In that instant, General Ji even decided that he would protect Huo Shaoheng even if it meant going against the entire Bai family.
Huo Shaoheng didn't know what General Ji was thinking, or perhaps he did know, but he didn't want to care.
To him, not being able to kill Bai Yusheng with his own hands and allowing him to escape the Huaxia Empire was already his biggest failure since joining the military.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the information in his hands, including the list of Huaxia Imperial Customs' customs clearance for the past month that Yin Shixiong had just sent him. A cold smile appeared on his lips. "Hello, Senior Speaker Long, Senior Officials. I'm here to report a high-level defection of the Secret Service. "
"What?!"
"General Huo, don't slander us!"
"My Bai family has served the empire for generations. Countless lives have been sacrificed. How dare you slander our Bai family?!"
"Major General Huo, you're acting so recklessly against the Bai family just because your father is the Director of the Military Political Department and your grandfather was the former Deputy Commander of the Military?!"
There were too many high-ranking officials in the Bai Family.
There were only sixteen or seventeen people present for this impromptu meeting, and five of them had the surname Bai …
Huo Shaoheng had led his men to raid the office of Bai Yusheng, the Deputy Director of the Secret Service, in the middle of the night and arrested all of his subordinates. He had also informed the Military Police Department to take over the Secret Service, which had completely paralyzed the Empire's intelligence agency, the Secret Service.
In the eyes of these people, Huo Shaoheng's actions were overstepping his authority.
Huo Shaoheng stood on the stage with his hands behind his back. His expression was calm and composed, and he didn't say a word.
After the clamor had died down, he said unhurriedly, "Senior officials surnamed Bai, I can't let you know the following information in accordance with the Empire's confidentiality clause. Please get out. "
"What?! Why should we go out?! "
"Speaker Long, we object! Shady business! There's definitely a shady deal! "
"Shut up!" The veins on Huo Shaoheng's forehead bulged, and he slammed the table. "If you keep causing trouble, the Secret Service personnel who died in North America will come to you to protest!"
The upper house of the Senate suddenly fell silent.
The white-haired Speaker Long stood up and said to the Bai Family, "Believe me, I won't let an innocent person be wrongly accused, but I won't let those who betray our country escape punishment either."
The Bai Family discussed for a moment, then said to Speaker Long, "Okay, Speaker Long, we believe you and will give you face. As for him … "They pointed at Huo Shaoheng, who was standing on the stage." If he doesn't give us a conclusive explanation, we won't let him go! "
The Bai Family left the table angrily and went to the corridor outside.
Under the leadership of Yin Shixiong, Huo Shaoheng's guards immediately locked up these people separately.
In order to prevent them from reporting the matter, they were also handcuffed and gagged.
The Bai Family was furious. They didn't know what was going on and thought that someone was deliberately trying to eradicate dissidents.
In the Senate hall, Huo Shaoheng took out the evidence and demonstrated it to everyone on the computer.
"… That's it. Xin Xinggao, who betrayed the Nandou system's civilian code, had a private relationship with Zeng Quan, the deputy director of the Nandou system's R&D department, when she was working on the Nandou project. Both Xin Xinggao and Zeng Quan tried to hide this fact, and we missed it during our first interrogation. Until recently, we received reliable information that the US military is still closely monitoring Xin Xinggao. They want to get more information from her. "Huo Shaoheng turned around, his expression grim.
"After Xin Xinggao left the country, she helped Zeng Quan get access to the United States. However, Zeng Quan only gave her the civilian code, not the encrypted channel. Zeng Quan intended to use the encrypted channel as a bargaining chip to get her to act as a go-between. Our Secret Service in North America found out about this and sent a report back to Bai Yusheng, the deputy director of the North American branch of the Secret Service. "
Huo Shaoheng used the laser pointer in his hand to point at the tree of relationships on the screen.
"When Bai Yusheng found out about this, he didn't inform us. Instead, he got in touch with Zeng Quan and asked him to contact the US CIA through Xin Xinggao in an attempt to defect."
Speaker Long and General Ji's eyes widened abruptly, their expressions stiff.
If what Huo Shaoheng said was true, then because of Bai Yusheng's defection, the Imperial Secret Service's thirty years of hard work in North America would be destroyed!
"Where is Bai Yusheng?! Issue the highest warrant for his arrest! Hunt down Bai Yusheng! "Speaker Long stood up first." We can't let him succeed! "
"It's too late." Huo Shaoheng shook his head. "As soon as I got the news, I rushed to his office and found that he had already removed the tracking chip and placed it under a potted plant in his office. He disappeared at least four days ago." As he spoke, he took out the list of customs personnel. "This is the customs list. Take a look for yourselves."
Speaker Long slumped into his chair. His lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
"After Zeng Quan contacted Bai Yusheng, he was afraid that Bai Yusheng was fishing, so he secretly recorded every meeting he had with Bai Yusheng. If Bai Yusheng really was fishing, he wouldn't have quietly absconded. Bai Yusheng should be in the United States now, but I don't know if he contacted the CIA. "
"The Secret Service in North America should withdraw immediately!" The top government official slammed the table. "We can't let this traitor hurt our people!"
"I've already informed the North American Secret Service to not accept any information from Bai Yusheng, and I've also informed them that Bai Yusheng has committed treason. The rest of them should withdraw immediately."
General Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He had fought many wars in his life, but this was the first time he had been so aggrieved.
The grudge between the Bai family and the Bai family had been established.
Although Bai Yusheng was a traitor, they didn't want to be implicated. So Bai Yusheng's mistake alone couldn't implicate the rest of the Bai family.
Moreover, with the Bai family's complicated in-laws, it was impossible to completely eradicate the Bai family.
Huo Shaoheng also understood that the Bai family's influence couldn't be completely eradicated, but he suggested, "I suggest that all the Bai family members who are above the departmental level be fully investigated. If there are no mistakes, they can be reinstated."
If they were implicated, it would be best if they were convicted and sent to prison.
Speaker Long and the government official looked at each other and said slowly, "We will definitely investigate. Give us the evidence and we will take over. Send someone to follow up on the Secret Service matter. Meeting adjourned! "
Huo Shaoheng walked out of the Senate building alone. It was already dawn.
The sun was eager to shine beneath the clouds, revealing its golden silhouette.
"Huo Shao." Yin Shixiong greeted him with a very serious expression. "Little Ze has confirmed that Bai Yusheng is connected to the CIA. Do you want Nianzhi to come back?"
Huo Shaoheng squinted and looked at the rising sun.
The sunlight sprinkled on the dark green leaves, like pieces of gold, dazzling.
"No need. No one knew who she was, not even the Secret Service. As for Bai Yueran, who knows her identity, although she is a member of the Bai family, she has always been with General Ji. Let's trust her for now. " Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a long time, but still refused. "Besides, Nianzhi is still in a lawsuit with Xin Xinggao."
"But aren't you really worried?" Yin Shixiong was anxious to death. In his heart, Gu Nianzhi was still a child who hadn't grown up.
"Worried, why wouldn't I be worried?" Huo Shaoheng replied casually as he walked to his car. "But does being worried mean you have to hide her? Big Xiong, you're confused because you're worried. "
"I'm confused because I'm worried?!" Yin Shixiong couldn't say it out loud. He felt that Huo Shaoheng was making it sound like he didn't care!
Huo Shaoheng made him speechless, so Yin Shixiong followed him into the car sullenly.
The orderly, Fan Jian, started the car and took Yin Shixiong and Huo Shaoheng to the airport.
When they came to the capital, they took a helicopter, and when they returned to C City, they took a private plane.
…
At the same time, at the C City International Airport, Mei Xiawen's flight was delayed for two hours. Because a private plane was coming from the Imperial Capital, all other flights had to make way for the military plane.
Mei Xiawen had no choice but to text Gu Nianzhi. "Flight delayed, may arrive two hours later."
Gu Nianzhi had actually regretted it that night. She shouldn't have agreed to Mei Xiawen's request on impulse.
Now that she saw Mei Xiawen's text, she quickly replied, "Don't worry, it's fine even if it's half a year later. I can wait."
Mei Xiawen smiled at the phone, as if it was Gu Nianzhi's anxious face.
He was about to look down to type when a slender hand reached over and took the phone from his hand, forbidding him from texting.
"… Xiawen, are you really leaving? Are you really going to abandon me? "Jiang Hongcha's tearful face appeared in front of Mei Xiawen.
Mei Xiawen was truly shocked. "You, you, you … How did you know I was here?!"
"Nothing is impossible for a determined person." Jiang Hongcha turned off his phone. "Xiawen, don't go. I've never begged you before, but this time, I beg you! "
She bit her lip and looked at Mei Xiawen, her expression gentle and moving.
Reaching out, she hugged Mei Xiawen's waist and looked up at him. "Xiawen, give us another chance. I don't want much, just this half a year. You can be with me for this half a year. If you don't like it, then after half a year, you can be with her, okay? "
Mei Xiawen closed his eyes.
Jiang Hongcha used to be such a proud person, but she was willing to compromise to this extent for him. What more could he ask for?
Mei Xiawen hugged Jiang Hongcha and buried his head in her shoulder. "Okay, I won't go to America. We'll try for half a year. You have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about us being together, not even Ai Weinan. "
Jiang Hongcha sighed in relief, a gentle smile appearing on her face. "Okay, I promise."
Actually, this was the best.
If they tried for half a year and still found it inappropriate, they could break up after that. No one would know, and it would be best for both of them.
Just then, someone came over from the nearby exit to clear the area, saying that a high-ranking military official's private plane had arrived.
Mei Xiawen put his arm around Jiang Hongcha's shoulder. "Let's go home."
"You're not going to America?" Jiang Hongcha pointed at Mei Xiawen's phone. "You should at least let them know. Maybe they're still waiting for you. "
Mei Xiawen smiled and picked up his phone to text Gu Nianzhi. "Something happened at home, so I can't go to America for now. I'll wait for you to come back in half a year. "
…
Gu Nianzhi was restless throughout dinner. She wanted to say something, but stopped herself several times. She didn't say it to Zhao Liangze.
Zhao Liangze was busy helping Huo Shaoheng with the evacuation of the North American branch of the Secret Service, so he didn't have time to worry about Gu Nianzhi's feelings.
He hurriedly finished his meal and told Gu Nianzhi to put the dishes in the dishwasher, then went back to his room to continue working.
Gu Nianzhi received a text from Mei Xiawen saying that he had something to do at home and couldn't come to America for the time being. They would meet again in half a year, according to their agreement.
Gu Nianzhi sighed deeply. She was no longer nervous. She frowned as she put the dishes in the dishwasher and added the special dishwasher detergent. She turned on the washing and drying process, then returned to her room to take a shower.
She was in a bad mood, and decided to take a bubble bath to soothe her melancholy.
She filled the bathtub with water and added the bubble bath lotion. Finally, she dripped a few drops of rose essential oil, and a fragrant bubble bath was ready.
She undressed, coiled her hair on top of her head, and put on a waterproof shower cap. She stepped into the bathtub and lay down comfortably.
…
Huo Shaoheng got off the private plane at the C City International Airport and left through the VIP passageway. He was soon back at the base in the Special Operations Forces' car.
He had been out all night, and hadn't slept for a few nights. He was a little tired.
After eating something, he planned to take a shower and go to bed.
Before he went, he remembered that he had a special number. He was used to checking it every day.
He took the phone and looked at it. He saw countless missed calls from Gu Nianzhi …
