The plane from the imperial capital to C City flew for three hours and finally landed slowly at C City International Airport.
After getting off the private plane, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng got into the private car that the Soviet Consulate General had sent to pick up "Peter".
Gu Nianzhi's rented house in C City had already been demolished. She had later moved to Lu Jin's penthouse apartment in the west district.
This time, she was still staying there.
Huo Shaoheng asked the driver to send them there together.
"You rest here for a while. I'll go to the consulate to report in and then move your things over to stay with you." Huo Shaoheng walked Gu Nianzhi to the penthouse apartment and said as he stood at the door.
Gu Nianzhi was a little shy, but also a little excited. She nodded silently and said softly, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand to adjust Gu Nianzhi's collar. His fingers brushed across her collarbone, causing her to tremble.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and smiled at Huo Shaoheng. She gently closed the door.
Huo Shaoheng checked the surveillance cameras and confirmed that everything was normal before walking into the elevator.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the luxurious penthouse apartment. She had once recuperated here, and it was also here that she had reunited with Lu Jin.
The room was still the same familiar smell, and the furnishings were exactly the same as last year. It was as if she had never left for the past few months.
There was still the light pink blanket she had once covered on the sofa. It was made of fine cashmere. It looked very big, but it was so soft that it could be dragged through a ring.
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of contentment as she carried her suitcase to the bedroom.
She didn't have time to wash up. She immediately took out her phone and connected to the wifi here.
Although no one had lived here for the past few months, all kinds of surveillance equipment and wifi were working normally.
Gu Nianzhi dialed Lu Jin's number and wanted to video chat with him.
Lu Jin's number rang three times before it was picked up.
Lu Jin appeared on the phone in a chicken heart collar pullover.
He greeted her with a smile. "Nianzhi, you're here?"
Gu Nianzhi quickly nodded. "I'm here, I'm here. Dad, I'm still living in your penthouse apartment last time. "
"Yes, it's not bad living there. It's fun. Video chat with me more when you have time." Lu Jin smiled kindly.
Gu Nianzhi was relieved. "Okay, Dad, you have to remember to help us keep watch! If we are in danger, we will need your help! "
"No problem. If there's anything you need, just call this number. I'll definitely help you solve your problem as soon as possible! "
They chatted for a while longer before Gu Nianzhi hung up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
In Lu Jin's apartment in the capital, his computer, which was comparable to a supercomputer, was buzzing.
In the middle of the spacious bedroom, in the pillar of light that shone down from the roof, a holographic virtual figure that looked exactly like Lu Jin had just ended the call and slowly disappeared in the change of light and shadow.
Lu Jin, who had just boarded the plane, also received a message from his computer. He knew that Gu Nianzhi had contacted him.
He believed that the computer with a certain level of artificial intelligence that he had arranged could temporarily fool Gu Nianzhi for a period of time with his holographic avatar.
He had never thought that he could hide it forever. He just wanted to see when she could see that the "Lu Jin" who was talking to her wasn't a real person, but a holographic avatar.
…
Gu Nianzhi took a good bath with rose essential oil in the bathroom. Lu Jin had mixed all kinds of toiletries for her. Not only could it nourish her skin, but it could also regulate her nervous system. It was very beneficial to her body.
After the bath, she felt extremely hungry.
She came out of the bathroom in a bathrobe and saw light coming through the crack in the bedroom door.
She had clearly turned off the lights in the living room when she came in. Was Huo Shaoheng here now?
Gu Nianzhi turned on the surveillance video in the bedroom and saw that it was indeed Huo Shaoheng walking towards her bedroom in a Soviet military uniform.
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to open the door. She smiled and said, "You're here. I'm hungry."
Huo Shaoheng stopped at the door and put his hands in his trouser pockets. He looked at her with a half-smile and said, "… I'm hungry too. Are you going to feed me first, or should I feed you first?"
Gu Nianzhi's face flushed red.
Women were never a match for men when it came to talking dirty.
She tried her best to calm herself down and looked up at the surveillance cameras in the room. She said with a half-smile, "This is my father's apartment …"
What she meant was that she could do whatever she wanted with the surveillance cameras!
Huo Shaoheng shrugged nonchalantly.
He was just taking advantage of her verbally. No matter how lustful he was, he wouldn't do that to his daughter in his father-in-law's house …
"Then I'll feed you first." Huo Shaoheng turned around and went to the kitchen. "I made beef noodle soup. I added wolfberry and American ginseng. It's very nourishing."
Gu Nianzhi immediately felt even hungrier when she heard that.
The two of them had a full meal in the dining room and then discussed tomorrow's operation to aid digestion.
"Qin Huichang's relatives all went abroad in the early years, and then they lost contact with them." Huo Shaoheng turned on his phone and pulled out the information from his phone. "It wasn't until Qin Zhiyuan's father's family returned to China to do business that they got in touch with Qin Suwen."
"I heard that it was General He who helped …" Gu Nianzhi whispered, "Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to find."
"That's for sure. After losing contact for so many years, how could they have found it on their own? This country has experienced a lot of things in those years, and it was also cut off from overseas for a period of time. "
Huo Shaoheng had learned about the history of the Huaxia Empire here. It was basically the same as their own country over there.
Gu Nianzhi nodded and asked with a frown, "Then should we also ask Qin Zhiyuan or Qin Zhining?"
Qin Zhining was the person who had brought Gu Nianzhi from the other world.
It was also him who had been ordered by He Chengjian to kill Huo Shaoheng, but Gu Nianzhi had blocked his shot.
Because of this, Qin Zhining had been arrested and almost shot.
Qin Zhining's brother, Qin Zhiyuan, had personally come to plead with He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi. Gu Nianzhi had agreed not to pursue the matter, so Qin Zhining had been released.
After that, she had no contact with him.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it and said, "Not for now. Look, when they returned to China, Qin Suwen had already married He Chengjian. What's the use of asking them? "
What they wanted to investigate was Qin Suwen's childhood.
It was also the whole story of Qin Suwen's father, Qin Huichang, selling the land back then.
"That's true." Gu Nianzhi looked at the timeline listed in the information and sighed softly. "Then we can only look for their colleagues, friends, and neighbors from back then."
Huo Shaoheng pulled up a photo from his phone.
In the photo was an old man with white hair and beard, sitting in a wheelchair.
In the background was the green lawn of a nursing home.
"Qin Huichang was an associate professor when he taught at university. After so many years, many of his colleagues have passed away. This is one of the few who are still alive. "
Gu Nianzhi looked at it curiously for a while and said, "What about the others?"
"Those people have Alzheimer's. It's useless to find them."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"So we only have this colleague to ask." Gu Nianzhi sighed softly. "It's been too long. I wonder if Auntie He found these people back then … "
Huo Shaoheng pulled up the information on the nursing home and said as he looked at it, "Qin Suwen didn't need to look for these people back then. She was the person involved and knew better than these people. Why did she look for them?"
"That makes sense." Gu Nianzhi pondered for a moment. "But we have to ask. Firstly, we don't have Qin Suwen's information from back then. Secondly, the onlooker sees the game more clearly. We should still investigate and collect evidence ourselves. "
"That's right." Huo Shaoheng studied the information on the nursing home and said, "In order to prevent someone from secretly watching this person, we have to modify it."
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened in surprise. "No way?! Will there really be someone watching? "
"It's better to be safe than sorry." Huo Shaoheng was very cautious. "He's the only colleague Qin Huichang can ask."
"… Okay." Gu Nianzhi's profession was different from Huo Shaoheng's, so she chose to listen to Huo Shaoheng's opinion. "How do we modify it?"
"Volunteer at the nursing home." Huo Shaoheng pulled up a message. "Look, there's a volunteer group made up of ordinary citizens near this street. They go to various nursing homes regularly every week to socialize with the elderly there. We'll follow this volunteer group in. "
"That's great!" Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed and she smiled. "Even if someone is watching, they definitely won't notice us!"
If they specifically visited this person, it would indeed be a little abrupt and could easily alert the enemy.
Huo Shaoheng said, "They're going to this nursing home for an event tomorrow. We'll follow them in."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and left it to Huo Shaoheng to handle.
Early the next morning, after Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi woke up, Huo Shaoheng put on middle-aged and elderly makeup for Gu Nianzhi.
His technique was skilled and not inferior to professional makeup artists at all.
When Gu Nianzhi saw her and Huo Shaoheng's aging appearance in the mirror, she couldn't help being stunned. She muttered, "… I'm growing old with you …"
"Yeah." Huo Shaoheng tilted his head and kissed her. "The most romantic thing is to grow old with you."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help snickering. "That doesn't count. I won't accept you stealing the lyrics …"
Huo Shaoheng also smiled. He changed into the popular middle-aged and elderly coats from Taobao with her and left the apartment together.
They went to the street office and met up with the volunteer group there.
Huo Shaoheng didn't know what methods he used, but he hit it off with the street organizer at first sight. He quickly expressed his interest in joining the volunteer group and going to the nursing home for a get-together.
Of course, the more volunteers, the better.
They didn't have to pay, so of course they were happy to agree.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng got into the volunteer car and drove to the nursing home.
The nursing home was located near an ecological farm in the suburbs of C City. The location was quite good.
The air was fresh and the scenery was beautiful. Groups of elderly people were sunbathing on the lawn.
Gu Nianzhi immediately saw Qin Huichang's university professor colleague. He was sitting alone in a wheelchair under a tree, looking down at ants moving.
