Would a genius scientist who would rather fake his death and live in seclusion be jealous of a second-rate scientist, Ishihara Baisan, who had never made any significant achievements?
Huo Shaoheng didn't believe a single word.
But this person was Lu Jin, Gu Nianzhi's biological father. He couldn't do anything to him …
Huo Shaoheng sighed softly and said dryly, "Uncle Lu, do you think Nianzhi will believe this reason?"
Lu Jin's face fell again.
He rubbed his tangled hair and muttered, "… If you don't tell her, she won't know, right?"
She looked at Huo Shaoheng excitedly as if she had found a great solution. "Yes! Just say that I came out for a ride and didn't do anything. I just strolled around and came back! "
He clapped his hands. "Nothing happened! Everything is fine! "
If this was on the internet, he would definitely give his post countless likes.
Huo Shaoheng coughed and said sternly, "Uncle Lu, I never lie to Nianzhi."
When Huo Shaoheng said this, he felt lucky that Nianzhi wasn't here. If she heard him say this, she would definitely scoff …
He had lied to her countless times. It was just that in the past, he had a legitimate reason, and she didn't care.
Lu Jin's expression twisted when he heard Huo Shaoheng's words.
Hearing this man say that he would never lie to his daughter, of course he was happy.
Which father would like someone who often lied to his daughter?
But now, if he said he didn't lie, he would be the one suffering losses.
This was a little subtle.
Lu Jin glared at Huo Shaoheng for a long time, but he couldn't find the right words to retort.
If Lu Yuan was here, he would definitely be laughing happily because he had finally "gotten his revenge".
How many times had he been insulted by Lu Jin? Just thinking about it made him want to cry.
The two of them didn't speak until they drove back to the parking lot downstairs. Lu Jin looked at the apartment building and sighed.
Who would have thought that he would be able to return …
He had already made preparations. From today onwards, he would once again roam the world. He would not contact anyone until he completed his plan.
He had never expected to come back alive.
Huo Shaoheng stopped the car and unbuckled his seat belt. When he was about to get out, he saw that Lu Jin was still sitting there and had no intention of getting out.
"Uncle Lu? We're here, "he warned, opening the door and getting out.
Lu Jin was still sitting in the car, motionless. His expression was very conflicted.
Huo Shaoheng walked to the other side and opened the car door for Lu Jin.
Lu Jin still did not get out of the car. He stammered, "… How about I don't go back? Just tell Nianzhi that you lost me … "
"…"
"Uncle Lu, are you questioning my professional ethics?" Huo Shaoheng looked dissatisfied. "If I, the KGB, can even lose someone with a location display, I'd have to commit seppuku like the Japanese."
The corners of Lu Jin's eyes twitched. He was actually a little afraid to face Gu Nianzhi's questions.
He poked his head out of the car and stammered, "… What should we do? Are … are you really going to tell me the truth? "
Huo Shaoheng already had an idea.
He calmly got out of the car and walked to the other side to open the door for Lu Jin. He said politely, "Uncle Lu, maybe Nianzhi won't ask. I'm not very sure about that either."
After all, "Peter" and Gu Nianzhi hadn't actually known each other for long …
Lu Jin actually knew that Gu Nianzhi wouldn't be so easily fooled, but he always tried his luck.
What if she was too sleepy and had already fallen asleep?
Then by tomorrow, he should have come up with a complete excuse.
Lu Jin pulled himself together and got out of the car. He smiled at Huo Shaoheng and said, "Thank you so much for today. You don't have to go up. Go home and have a good sleep."
He looked at his watch. It was almost three in the morning.
He wanted to send Huo Shaoheng away so that he wouldn't have a chance to "complain" to Gu Nianzhi.
Lu Jin smiled smugly.
Huo Shaoheng also smiled. He put one hand in his trouser pocket and quietly sent Gu Nianzhi a text message:
[Call me.] (Call me).
How could Gu Nianzhi fall asleep?
She had been anxiously waiting for news.
She had already found out about what had happened at the Dunhill Hotel from the Internet. Although it wasn't detailed, there had already been a lot of gossip.
For example, it was an "international homicide", the Imperial Capital Major Crimes Unit had been dispatched, and then there had been a fire alarm …
Although it was early in the morning, the Internet was bustling with activity. It was also the New Year.
She looked at Lu Jin's location and came downstairs to her apartment, but she didn't come up. She had planned to send Huo Shaoheng a text message to ask what was going on.
Gu Nianzhi happened to see Huo Shaoheng's text message asking her to call him, so she immediately dialed the "King of Drama" shortcut.
Huo Shaoheng's phone rang at the right time.
He quickly picked it up and smiled. "Nianzhi, are you still awake?"
Gu Nianzhi asked anxiously, "How can I sleep? What's going on? Why aren't you up yet? Are you dawdling in the parking lot for the New Year?! "
Her voice was so loud, and Huo Shaoheng had deliberately turned the volume on his phone to the maximum.
The parking lot in the early morning was as quiet as an ancient wasteland. It sounded like it was on speakerphone.
Lu Jin was embarrassed.
So his girl had been monitoring his movements the entire time …
Huo Shaoheng looked troubled. He glanced at Lu Jin and mouthed, "… What should we do?"
Lu Jin glared at Huo Shaoheng and waved his hand vigorously. He heard Huo Shaoheng say, "Nianzhi, your dad is here. I want you to talk to him." As he spoke, he directly handed the phone to Lu Jin.
Lu Jin didn't know whether to pick it up or not. He really hated Huo Shaoheng.
But Gu Nianzhi kept calling out, "Dad … Dad … Say something!"
Lu Jin couldn't resist Gu Nianzhi's voice.
He picked up the phone helplessly and whispered, "Nianzhi, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"How can I sleep?" Gu Nianzhi was furious. "I'll give you five minutes! If you don't come up, I'll go down! "
"No, no, no!" Lu Jin immediately surrendered. "We'll come up right away! Don't come out! It's cold outside. Your room is warm. It's still cold no matter how big your clothes are. Be careful not to freeze. "
As he rambled on, he was already walking in the direction of the elevator.
Huo Shaoheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Gu Nianzhi was here.
Otherwise, they really wouldn't be able to do anything to Lu Jin.
He followed Lu Jin into the elevator. Lu Jin used the door to swipe the floor up. He didn't even look at Huo Shaoheng. He held his phone and muttered to Gu Nianzhi.
Huo Shaoheng didn't care. He stood calmly beside him and practically "escorted" him into Gu Nianzhi's suite.
"Dad! Where did you go in the middle of the night?! "Gu Nianzhi rushed out of the bedroom in a light pink coral velvet casual wear.
She wore a pair of furry panda slippers on her feet. As she ran, the slippers made a lot of noise, and she almost didn't fall in the living room.
Lu Jin saw his daughter and forgot himself. He quickly ran over to catch her and said, "Don't worry. I'm back now, aren't I?"
"Dad! Don't scare me! " Gu Nianzhi's nose was red, and her eyes were sparkling with tears. She tugged at Lu Jin's shirt and finally cried. "It wasn't easy for me to find Dad … Are you going to leave me alone?"
"I don't want to be an orphan anymore … Dad … don't leave me alone … I don't want to be an orphan without parents anymore …"
Actually, in the beginning, Gu Nianzhi didn't care who her biological parents were. Huo Shaoheng had taken good care of her, and she didn't have any regrets in this regard.
But after coming into contact with the outside world, she gradually realized that her parents were different. They were completely different from the kind of feelings Huo Shaoheng had given her.
It wasn't until she came here and felt Lu Jin's meticulous care and care for her, as well as his unconditional doting and love, that Gu Nianzhi truly realized that children who grew up being doted on by their parents were different. They were especially confident.
Even when she lost her temper, she was especially unscrupulous.
Lu Jin's heart ached from Gu Nianzhi's crying, and tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Nianzhi, don't cry … Nianzhi, don't cry … Dad isn't abandoning you … Dad is …"
Lu Jin wanted to say that Dad was doing this for her to live a better life.
But looking at Gu Nianzhi, she definitely wouldn't accept this reason.
He didn't say anything. He just hugged her in his arms and gently patted her back. He walked to the bedroom and said, "It's late. You go to sleep first. We'll talk about it tomorrow, okay? "
Huo Shaoheng also said from behind them, "Nianzhi, go to sleep for a while. I'll be here to help you look after Uncle Lu."
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "Then it's a deal. Mr. Peter, help me look after Dad. I'll go to sleep for a while."
She was indeed very sleepy. When she lacked sleep, her brain's IQ would drop.
At this time, she couldn't think of any good ideas.
Lu Jin had wanted to chase Huo Shaoheng away, but now that his daughter had asked him to stay and watch him, he didn't dare say "no".
After finally coaxing Gu Nianzhi to sleep, Lu Jin gently closed her bedroom door and walked to the sofa in the living room to sit down.
The ceiling light in the living room was off, and there was only a small gray lamp on the small table next to the sofa.
Lu Jin sat in the shadow of the lamp and wiped his face tiredly. "What should I do? What should I tell Nianzhi tomorrow? "
Huo Shaoheng sat opposite him and said calmly, "To be honest. Nianzhi isn't an ignorant girl. She's experienced more than we can imagine. You have to learn to treat her like an adult. "
