Lu Jin was confused. He quickly touched Gu Nianzhi's forehead with his hand and said in confusion, "You don't have a fever … What New Year's gift? I haven't given it to you yet … "
Seeing Lu Jin's concerned and puzzled expression, Gu Nianzhi almost revealed her guess.
However, when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she remembered the importance of this matter. She remembered He Chengjian's attitude towards Huo Shaoheng that he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, so she swallowed all her excitement and joy.
However, her emotions were fluctuating like a level 12 storm. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand while laughing and crying at the same time. She choked and said, "This is the best new year gift!"
She picked up the remote control and pressed the play button.
On the television, the last ten seconds of the countdown had already begun in New York's Times Square.
The faceted prismatic sphere, commonly known as the "Big Apple", was 12 feet in diameter and weighed more than 10,000 pounds. The surface of the sphere was covered with 2,688 small crystal triangles, and there were 672 LED light-emitting devices inside.
When the LEDs were lit up, the entire sphere could display more than 16 million different colors and light combinations.
On a cold winter night, the shining Big Apple was like the golden apple held in the hands of the three goddesses of beauty in Greek mythology. It symbolized both wisdom and power, and it had an indiscriminate appeal to everyone.
The two million people in the square waved their glow sticks and counted down loudly, "Ten, nine, eight, seven …"
As everyone counted down, the Big Apple-like fluorescent sphere slowly descended with the music that resounded through the sky.
Thousands of colorful rays of light shot out from the sphere, decorating the night sky of Times Square like a fairyland.
Right at this moment, the ball that was like a big apple had just descended halfway when it suddenly let out an earth-shattering bang, and then the entire ball split open from the middle!
A tear gas was quickly released from the sphere, and the entire Times Square was instantly shrouded in smoke.
Not only were the two million people in Times Square dumbfounded, but all the television viewers around the world who were watching the Big Apple fall were also dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Was there a new stunt for the fall of the Big Apple this year?
Those who had such thoughts didn't even last a second before they realized that they were overthinking.
On the live TV, the huge crowd began to run in panic. Many of the aerial shots taken by drones were blocked by the gas released from the big apple. The TV was foggy, and the scene of the scene could not be seen.
All he could hear was the host talking to the director in gibberish, not knowing what emergency measures to take.
Then, a crackling sound came from the television, like firecrackers suddenly exploding in front of the camera.
However, firecrackers were banned in New York's Times Square at this time. How could someone set off firecrackers at this time?
Gu Nianzhi was only stunned for a moment before the image on the television became clear. The host was saying to the camera in horror, "My God!
God！
President！”
(Oh my God! Someone is trying to assassinate the president!
Soon, members of the FBI's Special Task Force (SWAT) and the President's Special Protection Team rushed into the crowd with loaded guns and rushed toward their blond president.
New York's Times Square was called a square, but it was actually a very small square. It couldn't accommodate two million people at all.
It had sealed off several streets around it to barely accommodate so many people.
The annual security checks were extremely strict, but they didn't expect such a loophole to occur.
The chaos at the scene with so many people was even more terrifying.
There were people running and crying everywhere. Many people fell to the ground and were seriously injured from being trampled on.
However, these ordinary people couldn't compete with the members of the Special Task Force who were armed.
Soon, they opened up a path in the crowd and escorted the president into the emergency building on the side of Times Square.
At this time, the members of the Special Task Force used their bodies to form a meat shield to protect the president's personal safety.
The sporadic gunshots in Times Square were soon suppressed by the members of the FBI's Special Task Force.
Police cars drove in one by one, and countless police lights flashed in Times Square, covering the starlight of the Big Apple.
Ten minutes later, the chaotic situation was finally under control.
The panicked crowd also calmed down under the comfort of the police.
After the danger, everyone looked at each other and felt like they had survived a disaster.
The last second of the countdown had passed. The new year had arrived, and we were all still alive. It was great!
Everyone couldn't help hugging and kissing the people around them to commemorate this unforgettable countdown to the new year.
Gu Nianzhi's heart was so flustered that it was about to jump out of her throat.
She knew that the TV was talking about someone trying to assassinate the president of the United States, and it had nothing to do with the Soviets. However, she still couldn't help but worry about the "Ace of the Far East" who was likely to be her Major General Huo.
Lu Jin hadn't expected such a situation to happen in a simple countdown, so he quickly called Lu Yuan over to watch it together.
Lu Yuan stared at the TV for a while, then suddenly pointed to a small spot in the lower right corner of the TV and said, "Someone is trying to fish in troubled waters. The target isn't the president of the United States at all. I think they've already succeeded. "
Gu Nianzhi's pretty face was pale, and her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't speak. "… The target isn't the president of the United States? Then who is the target? Who did it? "
Lu Yuan pointed to the spot and said, "The camera should turn around soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the TV reporter in charge of the live broadcast from New York walked over with a camera and said in surprise, "Here! Someone has fallen here! "
The host quickly ran over and said to the camera, "In this chaos, our president is lucky to be safe and sound, but the visiting VIPs aren't so lucky."
"Yeltsin, the head of the Moscow Municipal Committee of the Soviet Union, and Gorbachev, the chairman of the Soviet Youth Affairs Standing Committee, have been confirmed to have been hit by a stray bullet and have been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment."
Behind her, a few people in white chemical suits carried two stretchers into the ambulance. Gu Nianzhi's eyes were sharp and she saw Huo Shaoheng sitting in the ambulance.
His expression was stern and his gaze was stern. His Soviet military uniform coat was covered in dust, and one of his arms was covered in blood. He covered his arm with one hand and was talking to the doctor across from him.
Gu Nianzhi stared at the TV for a while and realized that the real Peter she had seen before had disappeared.
What was going on?
Gu Nianzhi felt like she wanted some peace and quiet.
She took a step back with her phone in her hand and said weakly, "Dad, Uncle Lu, I'm not feeling well. I need to go back and lie down for a while."
"Do you want to have some breakfast before going to bed?" Lu Jin saw that her expression was very ugly and thought that she had been frightened by the scene just now. He said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, Nianzhi rejected my suggestion. Otherwise, we would be the ones panicking right now."
Lu Yuan frowned and said, "You still want to go to Times Square to watch the countdown?"
"I'm doing this for Nianzhi's sake." Lu Jin rubbed his head awkwardly. "This is Nianzhi's first year here for the New Year. I want to give her an unforgettable experience."
"If you had gone to New York with Nianzhi yesterday, then you would have really given her an unforgettable experience."
Lu Yuan sat down on the sofa and began to read the follow-up report of the entire incident.
..
Gu Nianzhi returned to her bedroom and locked the door with a bang.
She couldn't sleep at all. Her mind was in a mess as she paced around the room.
Two Peters and two Huo Shaoheng were spinning around in her mind like windmills. They were so fast that she couldn't catch them at all.
She had thought that there was no Peter in this world because Huo Shaoheng had occupied Peter's position. Even his Russian name was exactly the same as Peter's.
In the end, the glimpse she had just seen had completely overturned her understanding.
It turned out that there was a counterpart in this world, Peter!
And he seemed to know this Ace of the Far East, "Peter".
What did this mean?
Gu Nianzhi's palms began to sweat as she held her phone.
She was sure that the identity of the Ace of the Far East, Huo Shaoheng, as "Peter", was definitely fake, but was he Major General Huo from the other world, as she had thought?
She remembered the differences between this Ace of the Far East, Peter, and Major General Huo from the other world.
For example, their voices were different. Major General Huo's voice was as deep as a bell, while the voice of the Ace of the Far East, Huo Shaoheng, was a clear baritone.
Also, this Ace of the Far East, Huo Shaoheng's appearance was even more exquisite and handsome, as if he had been carefully groomed.
Gu Nianzhi still remembered the first time she had seen this Ace of the Far East, Huo Shaoheng. She had paid special attention to his hands. They were flawless, and there weren't even any calluses on the fingertips of people who used guns all year round …
That's right! This was actually a flaw!
Even if this person was really the Ace of the Far East, Peter, he was still someone who used guns all year round. How could his fingertips be so flawless that there weren't even calluses?!
Therefore, he had to have completely groomed himself from head to toe …
As for the voice, it was even easier to explain.
This kind of big shot in the intelligence world could disguise himself as someone else at any time. Even relatives and friends who had been friends for many years would not recognize him when they met.
Gu Nianzhi looked up abruptly and saw her eyes shining like stars in the mirror on the dressing table in the bedroom. Her expression was twisted with excitement.
How could she have forgotten?!
What was Major General Huo's job?
He had started as a small soldier and spent ten years to become a big shot in the intelligence world!
On this special front, none of the people who were able to fight their way out of the encirclement and sit in a high position had relied on luck or the help of others.
Not only did they have to be courageous and knowledgeable, but they also had to be outstanding in terms of ability, intelligence, and self-control. This was because those who were not outstanding had already used their lives to survive.
Huo Shaoheng was one of the most outstanding members.
Gu Nianzhi clenched her right fist and punched her left hand heavily. A relieved smile appeared on her face.
She threw herself onto the bed and happily rolled around twice with the blanket in her arms.
She was so happy, so happy, so happy …
She was so happy that words could not describe her happiness. Only the corners of her lips that could not be calmed and her eyes that were narrowed into slits could prove how happy she was.
Just as she was immersed in the countless images of the reunion between the two of them, her cell phone rang at an inopportune time.
Gu Nianzhi actually did not want to answer the phone.
However, her phone continued to ring, so she reached out to take a look.
It was He Zhichu.
Gu Nianzhi sat up from the bed and lazily swiped open her phone to answer the call. "Hello, Young Master He? Happy New Year! "
He Zhichu: "…"
He was still in his friend's villa, and there was still a mess from last night's revelry.
He had been waiting for Gu Nianzhi's call since 12 o 'clock yesterday, but there was no call until now.
He had no choice but to call her himself.
"You said yesterday that you would call me as soon as possible to wish me a happy New Year," He Zhichu said lightly as his fingers shook the ash from his cigarette.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly. "I fell asleep last night and didn't have time to count down to snatch the red packet. I only woke up just now. By the way, if you don't believe me, I can turn on the video call for you. "
As she spoke, Gu Nianzhi turned on the video call.
He Zhichu only saw the image of Gu Nianzhi just waking up on the phone screen.
Her face was snow-white, but her cheeks were rosy red. Her hair was messy behind her back, her home clothes were wrinkled, and the blanket on the bed was twisted. She did indeed look like she had just woken up.
He Zhichu shook his head speechlessly. "What's wrong? Are you still tired from yesterday's lawsuit? "
Gu Nianzhi nodded honestly. "Yes, I was sleepy after coming back for dinner yesterday. I even said I would wake up at 12 o 'clock to look at the countdown, but I slept until noon today. "
He Zhichu asked, "Have you had breakfast? Do you want me to bring you breakfast? "
"No need, I'll go out to eat later." Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly. "I still want to go back to sleep now. Bye bye, Young Master He! "
She waved at the phone camera and turned off the video. She lay back on the bed and raised her phone to search for the chaos that had happened in New York's Times Square during the countdown.
He Zhichu hung up the phone and stood up from his seat. He saw Xie Qingying walking over with a plate in her hands. She smiled and said, "Young Master He, you didn't sleep all night and didn't eat much. You drank all the red wine. Here, have some lunch. "
She placed a freshly made western meal in front of He Zhichu.
On the plate, there was a small bowl of Caesar salad, a black pepper steak, a plate of mashed potatoes, and a glass of warm milk.
This glass of warm milk reminded He Zhichu of Gu Nianzhi. He couldn't help but take a sip.
After drinking, he didn't notice that a circle of white milk foam appeared above his lips.
The cold and handsome man suddenly looked a little childish.
This kind of contrast was very attractive.
Xie Qingying took a tissue and gently wiped the white milk foam on the side of his upper lip. She said angrily, "Young Master He, how old are you? How can you drink milk like this?"
He Zhichu was caught off guard. Xie Qingying held his chin and carefully wiped away the milk foam on the side of his mouth.
Xie Qingying's eyes flashed as she looked at He Zhichu's motionless expression. She couldn't help kissing him.
