He Zhichu put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can in the corner. He stood up straight and said calmly without looking at Huo Shaoheng, "It's my job. No need to thank me."
"It's best if Young Master He thinks that way." Huo Shaoheng smiled. His attitude towards He Zhichu was surprisingly gentle, and his words were not harsh.
He Zhichu's eyes flashed as he suppressed the emotions in his heart. He sneered and pointed at himself. "Mr. Peter has caught up to Nianzhi so quickly? Did you ask me? "
"… This is between Nianzhi and me. Why should I ask Young Master He?" Huo Shaoheng pretended to be confused. "I'm being polite to you, but you take it seriously. Forget it, I'll be going back to the Soviet Union in a few days. Young Master He, please take care of Nianzhi. "
"… You're also very relaxed. Aren't you afraid that Nianzhi will have a change of heart when you come back from the Soviet Union?" He Zhichu opened the car door and was about to get in.
Huo Shaoheng waved his hand without turning his head. "I'm confident that she won't have a change of heart."
He Zhichu's expression changed. His fingers gripped the car door handle tightly. He held it in but still blurted out, "… Do you think I would have let her be with you if it weren't for you?!" With that, he got into his car and stepped on the accelerator.
The car let out a low roar and charged forward, leaving behind a trail of dust.
Huo Shaoheng suddenly turned around and narrowed his eyes as he looked in the direction where He Zhichu had disappeared. His eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
It seemed that he had underestimated He Zhichu.
..
When he returned to his home, He Zhichu walked into the living room with his head lowered.
Xie Qingying, who was flipping through a magazine in the living room, looked up in surprise and smiled. "Young Master He, you're back!"
He Zhichu stopped in his tracks and looked at Xie Qingying in a daze. "Why are you still here?"
Xie Qingying: "…"
She stood up awkwardly and said softly, "… It's good that you're back. I'll leave first. Young Master He, rest early. The supper is in the kitchen. Get the orderly to heat it up for you."
She lowered her head and hurried to the door. Her light chiffon sleeves brushed past He Zhichu's shoulder and brushed against the back of his hand.
He Zhichu's hand seemed to have been scalded, and he reflexively reached out to grab Xie Qingying's arm.
Xie Qingying was stunned for a moment. She looked up at He Zhichu and asked hesitantly, "Young Master He, what's wrong?"
She could tell that He Zhichu's emotions weren't quite right.
He looked normal, but in fact, he was extremely depressed, so much so that his mind was in a trance and his consciousness was in a mess.
He Zhichu looked down at Xie Qingying. From this angle, he could see the bridge of her nose, which formed a perfect shadow under the light.
"… Young Master He?" Xie Qingying asked softly.
His eyes were almost unfocused. He seemed to be looking at her, but it also seemed like he was looking through her to somewhere further away.
He Zhichu's mind was warring with himself as he clamored to expel a certain figure that shouldn't be there.
Forget it. She would never belong to him. She could never belong to him.
He should recognize the reality, abandon all unrealistic fantasies, and close the door in his heart.
He Zhichu closed his eyes and exerted force to pull Xie Qingying into his arms.
Xie Qingying was surprised and delighted. She hadn't expected He Zhichu to do this.
She was so excited that her body was trembling. She snuggled into He Zhichu's broad and warm chest, feeling like everything wasn't real.
This was the first time He Zhichu had taken the initiative to be intimate with her.
She stood on her tiptoes and piously offered her lips.
It was an unforgettable kiss with a surging tide of passion.
Xie Qingying could barely breathe.
Her legs were weak and she couldn't support her body. She hung completely in He Zhichu's arms.
He Zhichu picked her up with a dark expression and strode to his bedroom.
..
Gu Nianzhi walked very slowly on the tree-lined path in the apartment complex.
The early summer night in the imperial capital wasn't too hot. The fragrance of grass floated in the air. Occasionally, there were a few frogs croaking from the pond in the neighborhood, breaking the silence of the night.
Along the way, she walked at a relaxed pace, smiling at the people strolling in the neighborhood.
After the people recovered from their shock, they also smiled at her and greeted her silently.
After walking and stopping, she finally returned to her apartment door.
She reached out her palm and pressed the password lock on the door.
Before the door opened, a large hand came from behind and covered her hand.
She was very familiar with the warm breath coming from behind her.
Gu Nianzhi didn't turn around. She leaned back, and a warm embrace greeted her from behind and caught her.
Huo Shaoheng hugged her from behind and kissed her head. "… Welcome home."
Gu Nianzhi chuckled and shook her head. "We haven't gone home yet."
Huo Shaoheng knew what she was talking about and hugged her even tighter. "We'll go back. When we get back, we'll hold our wedding. Russian President Putin even said he'll be our witness. "
Gu Nianzhi curled her lips. "And Little Corgi. I wonder if he still remembers Daddy and Mommy."
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Actually, he didn't want to be that short-legged dog's daddy.
However, Gu Nianzhi kept nagging about her longing for Little Corgi, so Huo Shaoheng didn't interrupt her fantasy.
The two of them were kissing at the door and momentarily forgot to go in.
Lu Jin clearly saw Gu Nianzhi return from the surveillance cameras in the room, but he didn't see her enter the door for a long time. When he looked at the camera again, there was no image. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
"What happened? Could the surveillance cameras be broken? "Lu Jin muttered as he opened the door and saw Huo Shaoheng look up.
Gu Nianzhi was leaning lazily in the crook of his arm. Her lips were red and glistening.
Lu Jin's face instantly darkened, but since Huo Shaoheng had once risked his life to save him, he swallowed his anger.
"Come in! Who are you kissing at the door for? "Lu Jin glared at Huo Shaoheng angrily and turned to enter the room.
His old heart …
Where was the Instant Heart Reliever Pill?
He was sick, and he needed to take medicine!
Lu Yuan saw Lu Jin enter with a dark expression, followed by a calm Huo Shaoheng and an embarrassed Gu Nianzhi. He immediately understood.
However, this time, he didn't speak up for Huo Shaoheng. Instead, he said lightly, "Shaoheng, you're too careless. I see that your basic skills have been wasted recently. From tomorrow onwards, I'll give you special training."
"President Lu." Huo Shaoheng quickly raised his hands in surrender. "I'm going back to the Soviet Union tomorrow. We'll talk about the special training later, okay?"
"You're going to Moscow?" Lu Yuan's expression became serious. "By the way, we haven't asked you yet. You're from the Soviet Union, right? How did you get involved with the KGB? "
"Of course there's a deal," Huo Shaoheng said lightly.
Lu Yuan didn't let him go. "What kind of deal did you make with the Soviet Union?"
Huo Shaoheng sat down calmly and said with a smile, "I brought a documentary to Mr. Pushin, the leader of the Soviet Union. The 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Soviet Union. "
Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood and quickly said, "I understand! No wonder Yeltsin and Gorbachev died in New York before they could make any waves! "
Huo Shaoheng's identity was also exposed at the New Year's countdown party in Times Square in New York.
Lu Yuan also reacted and sighed repeatedly. "No wonder, no wonder … So Yeltsin and Gorbachev's deaths weren't 'accidental injuries' by stray bullets …?"
"Of course it wasn't accidental injuries, but precise shots," Huo Shaoheng said with a smile. "The KGB's Ace of the Far East, Peter, personally took action. No one had a chance of survival."
"… You're talking about the real Ace of the Far East, Peter, right?" Gu Nianzhi thought of the man with drooping eyelids and never waking up. She clicked her tongue and said, "He's really cunning …"
Huo Shaoheng's "Ace of the Far East" was fake. No wonder the Soviet Union had deliberately exposed his identity..
The real Ace of the Far East was still in the shadows behind the scenes.
This was the real trump card..
Huo Shaoheng said, "At the time, I was still in the process of gaining Pushin's trust. He didn't really believe that Yeltsin and Gorbachev would do the same thing. "
"I set up a trap to let him see what Yeltsin and Gorbachev were doing in New York."
"When the video of Yeltsin and Gorbachev secretly talking to the president of the United States about launching the 'Moscow Spring' was sent back, Pushin made up his mind to get rid of these two people."
"If they don't die, the same history might happen to the Soviet Union here."
"This is completely unacceptable to Pushin."
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She held Huo Shaoheng's hand and said worriedly, "Then why did you go back to the Soviet Union? You're done with them now, aren't you? "
Lu Yuan also said worriedly, "Shaoheng, you don't have any bargaining chips now. What if the Soviet Union detains you? They know you're from the other world, right? "
Huo Shaoheng nodded calmly. "Only Mr. Pushin knows. No one else knows. "
This kind of thing was too unbelievable. Moreover, as the top leader, Pushin had to consider the interests of his own country. As for the other world, he was no longer interested in it.
There was no Soviet Union there. The ideals they had once fought for had been swallowed by others. He didn't want to have any contact with the other world at all.
Huo Shaoheng had also calculated this point, which was why he had chosen to stay in the Soviet Union.
Lu Yuan's eyes flashed. He suddenly understood why Huo Shaoheng wanted to return to the Soviet Union at this time.
"You go. I'll stay here to protect Nianzhi." Lu Yuan glanced at Lu Jin indifferently and continued, "Great Scientist Lu, if you want to cause trouble again, please wait until Shaoheng comes back. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect your daughter by myself. "
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "President Lu, I'll protect myself. You don't have to worry about me."
Lu Yuan's gaze swept over and he said calmly, "It's the same for you. When you cause trouble, you're even more powerful than your father. If the two of you work together, I think the two of you will be tied for first place in the Demon World. "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She glanced at Lu Jin guiltily.
Lu Jin shielded her behind him without hesitation and said angrily to Lu Yuan, "My Nianzhi is the most reasonable. When has she ever caused trouble?!"
Gu Nianzhi tugged at Lu Jin's shirt in amusement. "Dad, I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep."
Lu Jin immediately turned around and said, "Go rest. By the way, have you eaten at the He family's house? That bastard He Zhichu didn't do anything to you, did he? "
Gu Nianzhi nodded, then shook her head. "I've eaten. Young Master He didn't do anything to me."
She thought about it and said, "Dad, I want to have a DNA test in two days. Can you help me?"
"Sure, no problem." Lu Jin agreed immediately. He forgot to ask Gu Nianzhi whose DNA she wanted to test.
..
Gu Nianzhi rested for two days before she recovered from the jet lag.
Actually, she was in good health. Under normal circumstances, one day would be enough to recover from the jet lag.
However, she was in a low mood, and Huo Shaoheng wasn't by her side, so it took her an extra day to recover.
After recovering from the jet lag, Gu Nianzhi immediately called He Zhichu.
He Zhichu was in a meeting at the military headquarters.
After he came out of the meeting, his orderly handed the phone back to him and said, "Young Master He, Miss Gu has called a few times."
They saw the caller ID, but no one picked up.
He Zhichu quickly swiped open the phone and called.
"Nianzhi, when you called me, I was in a meeting at the military headquarters."
They were in a meeting now, so they couldn't bring their phones into the meeting room.
Gu Nianzhi sat on the bay window in her bedroom and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance. She said leisurely, "Young Master He, I want to ask you for a favor."
"What is it? Tell me, as long as I can do it, "He Zhichu answered without hesitation.
"I want to know if your mother still has any blood samples, teeth, or hair left."
He Zhichu stopped in his tracks. "… You want to have a DNA test?"
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi had already calmed down. Unlike before, when she thought of this question, she would feel awkward when facing He Zhichu.
He Zhichu's voice was also very calm. "What's the use of having it? Where can I get a DNA test? Even if it's the military hospital, I can't guarantee its safety. "
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. She wanted to refute, but she remembered that even in the other world, Huo Shaoheng didn't ask the military hospital to keep her medical information. He only asked Chen Lie to be her exclusive doctor.
On He Zhichu's side, he didn't have a trusted military doctor like Chen Lie who could entrust secrets to him.
And Lu Jin couldn't be exposed.
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and said, "How about this? Can you help me get some blood samples or hair from your mother first? When I have the chance, I'll do a DNA test myself. Is that okay?"
"You'll do it yourself?" He Zhichu hesitated. "Do you know how to do it?"
"What's so difficult about that …" Gu Nianzhi patted her chest confidently. "I can learn if I don't know how to do it … Don't forget, DNA tests are all done with instruments now. I just need to know how to operate the instruments. I've even performed gamma knife surgery on you before … "
He Zhichu: "…"
