In Gu Nianzhi's room in the He family mansion, He Zhichu draped the ash-gray blanket over Gu Nianzhi's chest and tucked it up to her neck.
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and leaned against the headrest of the wheelchair. She looked like she was sleeping soundly.
"Many people in the family saw you when you came back." He Chengjian sat down opposite him, crossed his legs, and rested one hand on the sofa. "Is it okay?"
Especially the He family's servants.
He Zhichu said expressionlessly, "I let them see it on purpose. Otherwise, how could I get the news out?"
Wen Shouyi's father thought that he had secretly taken the photo and that no one would pay attention to an ordinary gardener. Who would have thought that his every move would be monitored by the relevant people?
He Zhichu had learned from the spy he had planted in the Qin family that Qin Yaoguang had originally refused to attend the Christmas ball.
In order for Gu Nianzhi to successfully deal with Qin Yaoguang, He Zhichu had no choice but to make such a gesture. He swaggered back to the He family with Gu Nianzhi and said that he would bring Gu Nianzhi along.
He knew that as long as Gu Nianzhi came, Qin Yaoguang would definitely come.
And this news had been "secretly taken" by their own people. To Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi, it would definitely be more credible.
He Chengjian nodded. "It's good that you know what you're doing."
He looked down at Gu Nianzhi, who was sleeping in the wheelchair, and said to He Zhichu calmly, "… That Ace of the Far East from the KGB of the Soviet Union, Huo Shaoheng, the current Deputy Chief Consul of C City, is also coming to our Christmas ball today."
He Zhichu: "…"
"What's he doing here?" He Zhichu sat back down with a cold expression on his face. "Doesn't their embassy usually not come to such occasions?"
Not every embassy could get an invitation to the He family's Christmas ball.
How could embassies from more than a hundred countries receive the same treatment?
In the past, because the American ambassador had been a guest at the He family's Christmas ball every year, the Soviet ambassador, who didn't get along with them, had always declined the invitation.
He hadn't expected that this year, the Ace of the Far East would take this opportunity to represent the Soviet Union at the He family's Christmas ball for the first time as the Deputy Chief Consul of the Consulate General in C City.
"They brought Dresden to the Soviet Union and kept him under strict surveillance." A hint of mockery appeared on He Chengjian's lips. "Did you know? The only request Mr. Pushin, the leader of the Soviet Union, has for this' traitor 'of the CIA, Mr. Dresden, is to immediately stop all his revelations. "
He Zhichu: "…"
That was because Dresden's revelations were all favorable to the United States and unfavorable to other countries.
"Dresden is playing a 'loyal traitor' …" He Zhichu's lips curled up, and his shimmering almond-shaped eyes flashed. "The CIA can be considered to have racked their brains to plot against other countries."
He Chengjian nodded. "It's obvious that Dresden's so-called traitor incident was a Trojan horse carefully planned by the CIA. They originally wanted to send him to our country to stir up trouble."
However, with He Chengjian's suspicious personality, he immediately discovered that something was wrong with Dresden. He immediately refused to accept his application for political asylum and sold him to the Soviet Union.
At first, the Soviet Union wasn't interested in Dresden, but for some reason, in less than two days, their attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. Not only were they extremely interested in Dresden's whereabouts, but they also showed great sincerity and sent over the true body of the KGB's Ace of the Far East.
He Chengjian and He Zhichu both knew that the Ace of the Far East, Huo Shaoheng, had shown his face in front of them. This person was considered useless.
The Soviet Union had spared no expense to take Dresden away. After taking him away, they had locked him up tightly and prevented him from communicating with the outside world, let alone revealing anything to the outside world.
What was their goal?
Or rather, what was more important than the Ace of the Far East that the Soviet Union would take the initiative to make such an exchange?
He Zhichu also felt that the Soviet Union might have hidden a deeper reason, but Dresden had already been taken away by the Soviet Union and was under strict control. It was impossible for them to contact Dresden now.
"But we didn't get nothing." He Chengjian was so happy that he forgot He Zhichu's taboo. "At least it proves that this Ace of the Far East, Peter Huo Shaoheng, is the counterpart of Huo Shaoheng in the other world."
He Zhichu's expression darkened. "You've gained a lot by using Nianzhi's life to verify it!"
He Chengjian smiled embarrassedly. "Ah-Chu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that."
He was too embarrassed to stay here any longer. He stood up and said, "Hurry up and get ready. You and Nianzhi can't just go out like this, can you? Is she still sleeping? "
He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi. "Yes, I'll wake her up later."
He Chengjian nodded. "Then I'll leave first. There are a lot of guests outside."
Their house didn't have a hostess today, and He Chengjian had to deal with the guests.
After He Chengjian left, He Zhichu also had to take a shower and change his clothes.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi and flicked her forehead lightly. He said aloofly, "Stop pretending. My dad has already left."
Gu Nianzhi adjusted her breathing and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at He Zhichu and coughed embarrassedly. "Young Master He, I'm really asleep."
"There's no silver here." He Zhichu retracted his hand. "Can you stay by yourself for a while? I'll go back to my room and take a shower. My room is right across from yours. "
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "Okay." "Please go ahead, Young Master He."
He Zhichu had arranged for many soldiers to stand guard in the corridor to protect Gu Nianzhi's safety.
He pushed the door open and said to the soldier at the door, "No one is allowed in, including General He. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, sir!" The soldier standing guard at the door held the semi-automatic submachine gun in front of his chest and answered loudly.
He Zhichu walked into his room to take a shower.
The corridor outside was quiet. The soldiers standing guard almost covered the entire floor.
Gu Nianzhi sat alone in her wheelchair. After watching the door to her room close, she quietly pressed a button under the armrest of the wheelchair.
Her wheelchair was a multi-purpose wheelchair that Lu Jin had meticulously built.
The button under the armrest activated the far-infrared detection scan. It could check if there were any secret cameras or recordings in the room.
After a minute, the scan ended, proving that there were no secret cameras or recordings in the room.
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and pressed another button to turn on the communication device with Lu Jin.
A small display screen slowly rose from behind the wheelchair and landed in front of her.
Lu Jin appeared on the screen and greeted her happily, "Nianzhi! Are you okay? You didn't encounter any danger, did you? Did anyone make things difficult for you? "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head. "No, Young Master He took good care of me."
Her time was limited, so she tried to keep it short. She didn't have time to nag Lu Jin, so she picked the thing she was most concerned about and asked, "Dad, I want to ask again, what's going on with the parallel world counterpart? Can't they really coexist in the same world? "
Gu Nianzhi had heard He Chengjian mention the identity of the Ace of the Far East, Peterho. She felt that she had to get to the bottom of this matter.
Lu Jin was the real authority on this matter.
He Chengjian and the others were using Lu Jin's research results.
Lu Jin didn't know why Gu Nianzhi had suddenly asked this question, but he had always answered her questions. He immediately said, "The parallel world counterpart, from the most basic point of view, is two organisms with exactly the same DNA."
"Only DNA is the only characteristic that can be used to confirm the counterpart. Because DNA is the physical indicator of the human body. "
"The parallel universe only recognizes this kind of physical indicator."
"Let's put it this way. People on both sides of the parallel world can have different names, surnames, identities, occupations, or even nationalities. But as long as their DNA is exactly the same, they are each other's counterparts."
"And two people like this absolutely cannot coexist in the same space-time. This is determined by the physical characteristics of the parallel space-time."
"Fundamentally speaking, parallel space-time is derived from the same space-time, but they are not mirror worlds."
"Because from the moment they separated, they had their own development path. As time passed, people on both sides had different life trajectories, so not everyone has their own counterpart. "
Gu Nianzhi listened very carefully and digested Lu Jin's words word by word.
The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she became.
She said gloomily, "So as long as there is a counterpart on this side, the people on the other side won't be able to come over alive."
"Yes, there's nothing we can do about it." Lu Jin sighed and reached out to caress Gu Nianzhi's gloomy little face on the screen in front of him. "There's a limit to one's strength. Nianzhi, even Dad can't go against the laws of physics."
The laws of physics could only be discovered, never created.
Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the door.
She quickly turned off the screen that showed her conversation with Lu Jin and put it back into a hidden place behind the wheelchair. She then turned on the intercom and asked, "What's the commotion outside?"
The soldier at the door was aiming his gun at an old woman with a wrinkled face.
She was holding a bouquet of freshly picked flowers in her hand and said with a frown, "Sir, I'm the gardener of the He family's greenhouse. I bring flowers to this room every day. "
"But Young Master He ordered that no one is allowed in."
"Young Master He is talking about outsiders. I'm a servant of the He family. That doesn't include me." The old woman looked honest, but her words were actually quite sharp.
Gu Nianzhi laughed when she heard this from inside the room. She said lightly, "I don't need flowers. Please go back."
The soldier with the gun at the door quickly said, "Did you hear that? Miss Gu said she doesn't want flowers. You can leave now. "
The old woman blinked in surprise. "… There's someone else inside? Is Miss Gu back? Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Gu. I didn't know you were back … "
Gu Nianzhi's voice came from the intercom at the door with a mocking smile. "You didn't know? Didn't you all see me when I came in from outside? Now you've exposed yourself … "
The old woman blushed and thought to herself that Gu Nianzhi was really sharp-tongued. No wonder she had always had a hard time with her daughter.
She quickly nodded and bowed, "I'm sorry." She quickly turned to leave with the flowers in her arms.
"Stop." Gu Nianzhi looked at the surveillance screen at the door and instructed, "Lock her up first. Let her out after the ball is over."
"Yes, Miss Gu." The soldier standing guard at the door quickly stopped the old woman who had brought the flowers. After asking He Zhichu for permission, he gagged her, tied her up, and threw her into an empty storage room.
..
That night, the living room of the He family's mansion was decorated beautifully and magnificently to welcome the most distinguished guests of the Empire.
Wen Shouyi, who was wearing a beautiful blue brocade cheongsam, held a cocktail in her hand. She stood absent-mindedly behind a thick pillar at the entrance of the living room and kept looking at her watch.
Thirty minutes had passed. Hadn't her mother gone to send flowers to Gu Nianzhi's room?
Why hadn't she come down yet?
