Lu Yuan seemed a little surprised. "Is that the person you almost bumped into at the door just now? I took a look, but I didn't see clearly what was going on. "
Yuan Jianan's gaze darted between Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng. She said hesitantly, "I saw it too. He seemed to have raised his hand, but I didn't see clearly if he had placed a bug in your hair."
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes unscrupulously. She didn't even lower her eyelids. She looked up at the lotus-shaped chandelier on the dining table in the private room and said disdainfully, "If I could see clearly with the naked eye, those people wouldn't be able to survive!"
Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a moment and said, "… Maybe it's a coincidence. You went to a lot of places today, and the KGB isn't necessarily white. I'm afraid you're thinking too much."
Gu Nianzhi was rendered speechless by Huo Shaoheng's words. She said resentfully, "Are you really not going to investigate? I think that person is very suspicious! "
"If I say it's fine, it's fine. What are you thinking?" Huo Shaoheng took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. He said, "I'm going out for a smoke. You guys make yourselves at home."
He got up, left the private room, and walked towards the door.
He pushed open the door and closed it again, blocking the prying eyes of the people in the room.
Yuan Jianan's eyes flashed. She rubbed her phone and whispered, "If that Eastern European is really from the KGB, why did he put a bug in Miss Gu's hair?"
Huo Guanchen said without looking up, "Who knows? Maybe he wants to know what the Senate is doing? Or it's for Shaoheng. It's possible. "
Gu Nianzhi was the chief legal adviser of the Senate. Eavesdropping on her every move would indeed give her a thorough understanding of the work of the Senate.
She was Huo Shaoheng's fiancée, and the two of them were already living together. Therefore, she could also eavesdrop on Huo Shaoheng. It was indeed a profitable deal.
Yuan Jianan exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Then why didn't Major General Huo get someone to arrest that Eastern European? "
Although her voice was low, everyone was sitting so close to her that they could hear it.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. "I also said that I wanted to investigate it, but Major General Huo refused … He's just an empty shell in the country. No one trusts him …"
"Nianzhi! How can you spout such nonsense? " Huo Guanchen snapped at Gu Nianzhi. "You're about to get married to Shaoheng. You have to be careful of your image and watch your mouth. Don't say anything you shouldn't say!"
Gu Nianzhi shrank her neck and replied quietly, "Oh."
Song Jinning, on the other hand, couldn't stand it anymore. She sneered, "They're already bullying you, and you still have to be mindful of your image? As expected of someone who works in politics … Nianzhi, don't be afraid. When did you ever lose control of your mouth? He has much more self-control than some people who are only a few decades old! "
Huo Guanchen's face reddened, but he felt a little better now that Song Jinning had acknowledged him. However, being embarrassed in front of so many people, especially in front of a junior like Gu Nianzhi, made Huo Guanchen very upset.
His gaze swept past Song Jinning's incomparably beautiful face and landed on the glass cabinet in the opposite corner. He said coldly, "Shaoheng's position dictates that he can't act recklessly. Nianzhi was going to be his wife in the future. If he couldn't even keep a low profile, what was the point of getting married?! You'll drag Shaoheng down sooner or later! "
"Hey! General Huo! I didn't offend you, did I? You're already so sure that I'll drag Huo Shaoheng down?! You're blaming me for something that didn't happen? I can't accept this! "Gu Nianzhi picked up her spoon and paused on the table, making a scraping sound.
Yuan Jianan saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over. "Stop fighting, everyone. Since it's not convenient for Major General Huo to come forward, I can help ask."
"Oh? You have someone who can help? "Gu Nianzhi quickly asked." Mrs. Yuan is so amazing. "
"It's not that I'm amazing." Yuan Jianan took out her phone with a smile and dialed a number. "I have a friend who works in the food and beverage industry. Maybe he knows the owner of this club. I'll ask him."
"Oh, sorry for the trouble."
Yuan Jianan had just finished the call when Huo Shaoheng pushed the door open and walked in, smelling of cigarettes.
Gu Nianzhi fanned her nose with her hand and muttered unhappily, "… You're smoking again."
"I smoked half a cigarette." Huo Shaoheng moved closer to her. "Smell it …"
"Mhmm –!" Gu Nianzhi repeated the word "Mhmm" with three sighs and lingered in the air. Huo Shaoheng's scalp went numb. He glared at her and said sternly, "Don't cause trouble."
He then said to the people at the table, "It's fine, it's fine. It's just a misunderstanding."
But his eyes flickered and he didn't dare to meet Gu Nianzhi's eyes.
Gu Nianzhi glared at Huo Shaoheng and bit her lower lip with her snow-white teeth. She looked angry but didn't dare to say anything.
Then, her eyes gradually turned red and tears gathered in her eyes, reflecting the lotus chandelier in the private room. They were crystal clear and beautiful.
Huo Shaoheng didn't even look at her. The lines of his jaw were firm and he slightly pursed his lips. He scooped a bowl of soup for her and handed it to her with his head turned.
Anyone could see that the couple who were about to get married had quarreled.
Grandfather Huo chuckled and was happy to see it happen.
Zhang Baochen let out a long sigh. The night's suffocation was finally over.
He also scooped a bowl of soup for grandfather Huo and attentively placed it in front of him. "Father, please have some."
Grandfather Huo felt that he could eat three more bowls of rice.
Song Jinning couldn't bear to see Gu Nianzhi feel wronged, so she couldn't help whispering, "… Can't you just call that person over and ask him? There was really almost a conflict just now … "
Lu Yuan sighed and said, "I'm talking to the owner of this club about the investment. I'll go ask him."
He got up and walked out of the door, standing in the corridor at the door to make a phone call.
His back was facing the private room. From behind, his back was exactly the same as Huo Guanchen's.
Yuan Jianan's eyes flickered slightly. She looked at Huo Guanchen thoughtfully, then at Lu Yuan at the door.
Not long after, Lu Yuan put away his phone and walked back to the private room. He smiled and said, "I just found out about the situation. The boss here said that they did recruit a group of physiotherapists from Eastern Europe. I told him their approximate age and appearance, and the boss said to find out more."
"Are they really employees here?" Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "Don't they do a background check when they recruit people?"
"If they're really from the Russian KGB, which country's background check do you think would be able to find out?" Huo Guanchen snorted and glared at Gu Nianzhi. "Behave yourself. Don't be rash and cause trouble for Shaoheng."
When Gu Nianzhi heard this, tears began to fall. Large, crystal-clear teardrops rolled down her pale face.
She didn't make a sound when she cried, only her tears fell. Her dark eyes were wet with tears, like black crystals under the water's surface, emitting a lake of ripples.
Song Jinning's heart ached when she saw this. She glared at Huo Shaoheng disapprovingly. "Shaoheng, it's not a big deal. Can't you get someone to check it out?"
Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "You can't agree to unreasonable requests. You can't spoil them."
Gu Nianzhi almost fainted from crying.
Song Jinning couldn't take it anymore and said sternly, "Shaoheng!"
Huo Shaoheng reluctantly patted Gu Nianzhi's shoulder and wiped her tears with a tissue. He said perfunctorily, "Don't cry. Everyone's watching."
Gu Nianzhi didn't seem to dare to lose her temper at Huo Shaoheng. Other than crying, she could only curl up in Huo Shaoheng's arms.
The atmosphere in the private room was a little awkward.
Yuan Jianan looked at Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi carefully. She also had to divert her attention to look at Lu Yuan and Song Jinning.
In the end, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Lu Yuan and Song Jinning intertwining their fingers under the dining table. She quickly raised her head and looked in the direction of the door as if she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.
At that moment, the door to the private room was pushed open again. The handsome Eastern European guy that Gu Nianzhi had almost bumped into earlier walked in slowly, followed by two people.
One was a white man who was as strong as a black bear, and the other was a Huaxia man. He was relatively thin and had a shrewd look on his face.
After the three of them came in, the thin Huaxia man pointed at the handsome Eastern European guy with a smile and said, "Hello everyone, this is our club's top card, Big Ivan. May I ask which one of you wants a massage?"
