Huo Shaoheng didn't even look at Bai Jinyi. He only spoke to Bai Changhui.
He took two steps forward and stepped out of the police line. He adjusted his white gloves and smiled at Bai Changhui. "Deputy Secretary-General Bai, did you get permission from the Senate to come to the Special Operations Forces headquarters?"
The Empire's administrative department and the military were not allowed to interact in private. They had to be approved by the parliament and recorded before they could do so.
Bai Changhui had come in a hurry, so he didn't have the chance to get permission from the council.
However, he had the secret documents in hand, so he wasn't afraid of Huo Shaoheng's questioning.
"Major General Huo, don't change the subject. I have a legal document signed by the Empire's Ministry of Administration and the military. It clearly states that Song Jinning will be under the care of the Ministry of Administration's Science and Technology Department and the military. You'd better hand Song Jinning over. "Bai Changhui waved the document in front of Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng slowly extended his hand. "Is that so? How come I didn't know about this document? "
"You don't know? Yo ho! No wonder you had the guts to snatch him away! So you didn't know! " Bai Changhui laughed so hard that tears were coming out of his eyes. He handed the document back to him. "Alright, alright, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Major General Huo, can you hand him over now? "
Huo Shaoheng took the document and flipped through it. It was about 20 pages long. He said to Bai Changhui, "This is very important. I need to read this document carefully to see if it's true."
Bai Changhui waved his hand. "Feel free to look around. I'll wait here."
Bai Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they could attract Huo Shaoheng here, they wouldn't have to worry about Song Jinning being transferred away.
Other than Huo Shaoheng, Bai Jinyi believed that no one else would have the guts to do anything to Song Jinning.
Huo Shaoheng took the document and slowly walked back into the cordon. Returning to his bulletproof car, he stretched his legs and placed the document on his knees, flipping through the pages.
As time ticked by, Huo Shaoheng kept glancing at his watch from the corner of his eye.
He had seen a copy of this document from Grandfather Huo a long time ago and had read it from beginning to end countless times. He was extremely familiar with every punctuation in it.
Of course, he would not tell Bai Changhui that he had read the document. He would never "knowingly" violate the law …
That way, even if they wanted to sue him, he could use "ignorance is not a crime" to defend himself. Moreover, he was a major general. Although his rank was not as high as his father, General Huo Guanchen, his security clearance was even higher than Huo Guanchen's.
Moreover, as the leaders of the Special Operations Forces, they should be in charge of matters related to the military's top-secret experiments.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the document and thought about how to remove the Science and Technology Department from the document and forbid Bai Jinyi from interfering with his mother's affairs.
He never fought a battle he was not confident of winning, but once he decided to fight, he would beat the opponent until they had no strength to fight back.
…
Bai Changhui and Bai Jinyi stood in the cold for more than half an hour, but Huo Shaoheng still hadn't returned.
"Third Brother, what's going on with Huo Shaoheng? Why did you take so long to read a document? "Bai Jinyi frowned." It's just over 20 pages. Ten minutes should be enough, right? "
Bai Changhui was in a better mood and began to tease Bai Jinyi. "Do you think everyone is as smart as you and can read ten lines at a glance?"
Bai Changhui was in a better mood and began to tease Bai Jinyi. They were the direct descendants of the Bai family. There were three brothers and one sister, all born from the same mother.
Later, when everyone grew up and had their own families and careers, they were no longer as close as they were when they were young.
The closest person to Bai Jinyi was her third brother, Bai Changhui.
The eldest, Bai Jiancheng, was the most serious and introverted. He was the head of the Bai family.
The second brother was Bai Yusheng, who had recently defected and died in a diving accident in South America.
The third brother was Bai Changhui, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Imperial Administrative Department.
Bai Changhui and Bai Jinyi were close in age and had played together as children.
After Bai Changhui got married, he still treated Bai Jinyi as well as before. Unlike the eldest brother, Bai Jiancheng, and the second brother, Bai Yusheng, who had focused on their own families after marriage.
Bai Jinyi had been rebellious when she was younger and refused to have a boyfriend. No matter how her family tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen. She had always said that if she couldn't have the one she loved, she would rather not have anyone.
In the end, she finally had a boyfriend in her thirties. It was the second son of the Huo family, Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen had only been divorced for six months at the time, and he was already dating Bai Jinyi.
Although Bai Jinyi's personal problems had been difficult, she had been the smartest and most educated child in the Bai family.
She had studied at a prestigious university and had even become a postdoc.
Bai Jiancheng, the eldest brother of the Bai family, had been very supportive of Bai Jinyi's decision to pursue an academic career. He had said that the Bai family had people in every industry except for academics, so he had strongly supported Bai Jinyi and helped her become a student of the famous high energy physicist, Song Haichuan.
Twenty years later, Bai Jinyi had become the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Imperial Department of Science and Technology.
Although the military's top-secret experiment led by Song Haichuan, who studied high-energy physics, failed, the Empire's military, administrative department, and parliament never planned to give up on the experiment.
They needed the experiment to continue, and they needed it to succeed.
There were signs that the United States was also conducting the same secret experiment on the other side of the ocean.
The Huaxia Empire had been ahead of the United States in this experiment by more than ten years, but they had suffered huge losses because of the sudden failure.
Song Haichuan, who had led the experiment, had died on the spot. His daughter, Song Jinning, had suffered a serious mental illness. The military representative, Senior Colonel Huo Guanyuan, had also died in the huge explosion in the laboratory.
Four soldiers from the Special Operations Forces had died in the line of duty with him.
Their bodies had quickly been burned to ashes by the flames, and almost no remains had been found.
According to military practice, if no bodies or remains could be found, they would be treated as missing.
So Huo Guanyuan's family had been informed that he had gone missing.
Bai Jinyi recalled the past and sighed faintly.
She had hoped that Huo Guanyuan hadn't died. Unfortunately, the laboratory had been badly damaged by the fire. She knew that her wish would always be an extravagant hope.
Bai Jinyi looked at Bai Changhui. "Third Brother, let's go sit in the car. It's too cold outside. "
But their car was parked within the police line, and they didn't dare go any further.
Bai Changhui pointed to a minivan driven by his subordinate. "Let's go sit here."
Bai Jinyi wasn't picky about anything at the moment. All she wanted was to sit in the car and warm up.
…
Huo Shaoheng sat in his bulletproof car. It took him an entire hour to "read" the entire secret document.
By then, Chen Lie's surgery had been going on for two and a half hours.
Chen Lie would be done with the surgery in another half an hour.
He slowly opened the car door and calmly got out. He stood in front of the car and looked across the police line.
Yin Shixiong came over and whispered, "… They got into the minivan."
Huo Shaoheng nodded and took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket. He lit it with a lighter and smoked in the cold wind.
Bai Changhui and Bai Jinyi saw Huo Shaoheng come out of the car and were about to get out when they saw him smoking again.
They looked at each other and sat back down. They would go over after he finished smoking.
"Third Brother, what do you think Huo Shaoheng is doing? Does he think we won't have to take Song Jinning away just because he's stalling? How childish. " Bai Jinyi shook her head disapprovingly. "He's just like his old man. They're both one-track minded."
"If his old man wasn't one-track minded, why didn't he want to marry you?" Bai Changhui sneered. "I suggest you get married quickly. After you get married, you can adopt one of the Bai family branches. He can be your son. "
Bai Jinyi's expression darkened. She shook her head. "I don't want to marry him."
At her age, marriage was no longer the most important thing to her. The experiment was the most important thing to her now.
She made up her mind. After she took Song Jinning away, she wouldn't care about Song Jinning's life anymore. She would stimulate Song Jinning's brain cells in the most exciting way possible. She would force Song Jinning's memory back and repeat the most crucial set of data for her.
She had more confidence in Song Jinning than she did herself. After all, she had met Song Jinning in school. That was when she realized what a real genius girl was.
She had been called a "genius girl" for so many years, but she had been crushed by Song Jinning in seconds …
