"Targeting you?" Lu Yuan frowned. "Are you sure your identity hasn't been exposed? Would they really dare to target you?! "
Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "The Qin family has been planning this for a long time. On the day the revolving restaurant exploded, He Zhichu found a Soviet sniper on the roof of the building opposite the restaurant, as well as a Soviet-made weapon. It's obvious that this is to blame the revolving restaurant explosion on the Soviets. "
"And I announced my pursuit of Nianzhi in a high-profile manner. Nianzhi's relationship with the Qin family is very bad. This can barely give me a motive to deal with the Qin family."
"There's such a thing?!" Lu Yuan was very shocked. "He Zhichu probably didn't believe that it had anything to do with you, right?"
"He Zhichu isn't that stupid. But the most important thing is that they didn't expect me to be there when the explosion happened that day. If I really did it, would I have buried a bomb next to me? "
"At the very least, if I really did it and I appeared at the scene, no one from the Qin family would have been able to leave the revolving restaurant alive."
When Huo Shaoheng said the last sentence, his eyes were stern, his expression was cold, and his tone was unquestionable.
Lu Yuan also absolutely believed that Huo Shaoheng had this ability, but that wasn't the point. He said seriously, "You have to restrain yourself. This isn't our motherland. What good will it do them to go against a Soviet diplomat? "
Huo Shaoheng's eyes flashed, as if he had been enlightened. He suddenly understood the other party's move.
"Their real goal now seems to be to pave the way for the infrasonic weapon."
"From the explosion to Qin Baoye's injury, to Qin Yaoguang's release from prison to guide the surgery, to He Zhichu's injury by the infrasonic weapon, they've drawn everyone's attention away from Nianzhi step by step."
"No wonder Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi have been full of confidence ever since He Zhichu fell unconscious. In fact, they've been confident for a long time."
"Of course they can heal the damage they caused themselves."
"After He Zhichu wakes up, they'll take the opportunity to reveal the secret room and the infrasonic weapon at the right time. That way, they'll be able to pin the blame on the KGB. And He Chengjian and He Zhichu both know my identity very well. "
This was a game of chess that gradually led the clues to the KGB, the Ace of the Far East, Peter Huo Shaoheng.
Lu Yuan gasped. "You mean, they're not just after Nianzhi and you?!"
"There must be someone powerful behind the scenes." Huo Shaoheng shared all his thoughts and speculations from the past few days.
"At that time, He Zhichu, who had been injured by the infrasound, would be saved by Qin Yaoguang. He would definitely be under their control."
"Then, as long as we pin the culprit who hurt He Zhichu on the Ace of the Far East, 'Peter', with how much He Chengjian dotes on his son, what do you think he will do?" Huo Shaoheng used the slender knife in his hand to make a shallow mark on the wood-colored beech anvil.
Lu Yuan took off his plastic gloves and placed his hands on the kitchen counter. He lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Based on He Chengjian's conduct, the lightest punishment would be to kill Peter. The worst case scenario would be to fall out with the Soviet Union and expel diplomats. In the end, it's not impossible for it to develop into an armed conflict …"
"Yes." Huo Shaoheng's eyes became even darker. "If I were the mastermind behind the scenes, this is how I would predict the outcome of the operation."
"For them, the best outcome would be for the Huaxia Empire and the Soviet Union to fall out and return to the period of armed confrontation between the Huaxia Empire and the Soviet Union in the last century. It's not impossible for it to lead to a border war."
Lu Yuan nodded and analyzed, "If this goal isn't achieved, then the next outcome would be for He Chengjian to kill Peter. You said that Peter's identity is the KGB's Ace of the Far East. "
"Once Peter dies, then our Huaxia Empire's agents in the Soviet Union will be caught in one fell swoop by the KGB and killed in the cruelest way possible. Although this won't lead to an open armed conflict, the blood that will flow on the hidden battlefront will not be any less than an open armed conflict. "
Huo Shaoheng took a deep breath and nodded. He used the long knife to draw a triangle on the beech cutting board. "To them, the next outcome is that Peter doesn't die, but is expelled by He Chengjian and will never be able to step foot into the Huaxia Empire again."
"This way, both Peter and He Zhichu will be taken down by them. On the surface, Nianzhi will be alone and helpless. No one will sincerely protect her."
Lu Yuan looked at the triangle Huo Shaoheng had drawn and pursed his lips. A glint flashed in his eyes as he said coldly, "This plan is really big. Unfortunately, they didn't predict that Gu Xiangwen didn't die, and that Gu Xiangwen has me, Huo Guanyuan, by her side. "
Gu Xiangwen was Lu Jin, and Huo Guanyuan was Lu Yuan.
Lu Jin's IQ was outstanding. Just the Nobel Prize he had won spanned the fields of biomedicine and high-energy physics. There were also computer technology and mechanical manufacturing.
Lu Yuan had been the most outstanding intelligence officer in the military for decades. Although he had been hiding in this world for the past decade or so, he hadn't left his profession behind at all.
"Yes, even if Nianzhi doesn't have He Zhichu and me, she still has you and Uncle Lu." Huo Shaoheng smiled. "The other party didn't know themselves and their enemy, so they couldn't have won every battle."
Lu Yuan smiled and glared at him. "Stop flattering me."
He picked up the knife and began to cut the braised food. He said, "Also, the other party was able to design a trap at the level of relations between countries. Their vision is no longer limited to family feuds and relationships between men and women. This person has a big plan. "
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "But I'm more inclined to think that these consequences are just incidental results in the process of pursuing their ultimate goal."
In other words, their main goal wasn't to provoke a war between the Huaxia Empire and the Soviet Union, but to achieve their own goal while doing so.
Success was good, and failure was meaningless.
Lu Yuan suddenly looked up at Huo Shaoheng. "Their ultimate goal? Is it really Nianzhi?! "
Huo Shaoheng nodded solemnly. "That's the only explanation."
"… Who exactly is this mastermind?" Lu Yuan muttered, "I've been here for more than ten years. I know many people from the upper echelons of the political and military circles, as well as people from the business and academic circles. The most outstanding academic figure is Lu Jin. The most outstanding military figure is He Chengjian, and the most outstanding political figure is Xie Beichen. They all have the ability to set up this plan, but they don't have the motivation to do so. "
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips slightly and said teasingly, "… You didn't say who the most outstanding business figure is. Maybe it's this person."
"Get lost!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but kick him. He pointed at himself and said, "The most outstanding business figure is preparing for the new year's dinner in this kitchen. He doesn't have such a motive!"
Huo Shaoheng couldn't help but laugh loudly.
His voice was low and magnetic, and when he laughed, it was especially moving.
..
Gu Nianzhi took a shower and changed into a Spring Festival suit that Lu Jin had prepared for her. It was custom-made for Chanel for the winter.
Lu Jin sent Gu Nianzhi's measurements to Chanel's custom-made department and specially made a dress for her.
It was made of fine wool, with a herringbone red and black checkered mini doll dress. It had six old silver copper buttons on the chest, and a slightly high waistline. Coupled with Chanel's red calf leather custom-made boots, it made her legs look even longer.
She looked like an extremely cute Barbie doll.
Gu Nianzhi liked this set of clothes very much. After putting it on, she looked at herself in the mirror and let her hair down. The hairdryer quickly made a few big curls and draped them over her back. Finally, she put on a little pink lip gloss, which instantly brightened her entire face.
She walked out of the bedroom happily and went to the living room to walk around. She found that there was no one there, and she didn't even know where Lu Jin had gone.
Only a low and magnetic laughter came from the kitchen.
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat.
This was Huo Shaoheng's original voice..
It was a good voice that could make one's ears pregnant.
Gu Nianzhi was about to be drunk.
Did he really think that she couldn't recognize him, so he had completely let himself go?
Or did he think that no one could recognize him because she wasn't around, so he didn't even bother to disguise his voice?
Gu Nianzhi was mischievous and tiptoed towards the kitchen.
Walking out of the living room carpet, she looked down at the solid wood floor under her feet and her boots. There was no way to hide the sound of her footsteps now.
She simply took off her boots and walked barefoot to the kitchen.
As soon as she reached the kitchen door, Huo Shaoheng's laughter had already stopped. He tilted his head and faced the direction of the kitchen door. His entire body was relaxed as he smiled and spoke to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan's back was facing the kitchen door. The speed of the knife in his hand did not slow down as he continued to cut vegetables.
Gu Nianzhi was a little puzzled.
When did Huo Shaoheng become so familiar with Lu Yuan?
And he didn't seem to be guarded at all. It was quite a sight to behold.
He didn't look like someone she had only known for less than a month.
There was an indescribable tacit understanding and familiarity between them.
Gu Nianzhi thought of Lu Yuan's San Xian fried rice again.
What a familiar taste..
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help gulping.
Huo Shaoheng suddenly noticed a tall and slender figure at the kitchen door.
He looked up naturally and said with a smile, "Miss Gu, are you done showering? That's a beautiful dress. "
As he spoke, he put down the long knife in his hand, wiped his hands with a tissue, and walked over to her.
Gu Nianzhi also smiled very naturally and said, "I just finished showering. I'm starving, so I came to the kitchen to find something to eat."
She complained again, "I don't know where my father went. I asked him to find me something to eat. I'll eat it after I finish showering, but he's gone."
Huo Shaoheng looked at her carefully and saw that there was no flaw in her expression. Even he couldn't tell what she was thinking, and he felt a little lost.
Lu Yuan turned around and was also stunned by Gu Nianzhi's outfit today. He smiled and said, "Your father has good taste. This outfit really looks good on you."
Gu Nianzhi stood on her tiptoes and spun around. She held the edge of her skirt with both hands and bowed like a ballet dancer. She smiled and said, "President Lu, can you give me some food? I'm starving to death … "
Only then did Huo Shaoheng see Gu Nianzhi's bare feet and long legs..
His eyes darkened slightly, and he carried Gu Nianzhi horizontally. He smiled and said, "The floor is too cold. Miss Gu, why don't you wear shoes?"
