"Haha, an orphan girl needs General Ji and Speaker Long to show the joint authorization from the Supreme Military Council and the Senate? Shaoheng, are you going to betray Gu Nianzhi's importance just like that? "Huo Guanchen shook his head and looked at Huo Shaoheng's slightly stiff body with interest.
Huo Shaoheng's mind raced, but he didn't fall for Huo Guanchen's trap.
He turned around and said nonchalantly, "Is that strange? As everyone knows, the military is after her family, and she's the only lead, so her importance is undeniable. "
Huo Guanchen froze and looked at Huo Shaoheng solemnly. "Are you sure? Just because of her background, you need the joint authorization from General Ji and Speaker Long to take her away? You can fool me with that, but if you want to fool others, especially the enormous Bai family, you better think of another reason. " He stood up and hesitated before asking Huo Shaoheng, "Your mother, is she really … okay?"
"Don't worry, Father. She's fine here. She's already asleep, and you'll be able to see her when my vacation ends. "Huo Shaoheng nodded and his attitude softened.
"Alright then, I'm leaving." Huo Guanchen picked up his hat and walked out of the house.
Huo Shaoheng didn't see him out. He stood in the middle of the living room with his hands behind his back and watched him leave.
Huo Guanchen's bodyguards and personal secretary were in the car outside the official residence and didn't follow him in. He came in alone.
After Huo Guanchen left, Huo Shaoheng sat back on the sofa and thought about what Huo Guanchen had just said.
Huo Guanchen had actually revealed two of the Bai family's future plans to Huo Shaoheng.
One was that they were targeting Gu Nianzhi and wanted to attack Wei to save Zhao. They wanted to see what Huo Shaoheng would choose.
If Huo Shaoheng chose to give up Gu Nianzhi to protect Song Jinning, it meant that Huo Shaoheng was plotting something against Song Jinning. It was very likely to have a lot to do with Song Jinning's recovery, because they also knew that Huo Shaoheng was not the kind of person who would act on impulse.
But if Huo Shaoheng chose to give up Song Jinning to protect Gu Nianzhi, then they would have to reevaluate Gu Nianzhi's importance.
Regardless of how important it was to the Huaxia Empire's military or to Huo Shaoheng, it would be a devastating blow to Huo Shaoheng if outsiders found out.
For so many years, Huo Shaoheng had always been a war machine with no weaknesses in the eyes of outsiders.
He didn't care about his sick mother and hadn't entered the house for six years. In the eyes of outsiders, he was completely emotionless.
He had personally led teams to participate in many overseas activities and had fought with foreign special forces countless times. Not once had he failed, which further showed that he was a decisive and ruthless person.
However, if he chose Gu Nianzhi and gave up on Song Jinning this time, it meant that Huo Shaoheng had a weakness.
If outsiders saw through this, it would be a fatal blow to Huo Shaoheng.
Another action was that they had mobilized the police headquarters.
The police couldn't go against the military, but they could deal with ordinary people, such as a young girl like Gu Nianzhi.
Hadn't Bai Changhui and Bai Jinyi arrived with over a hundred SWAT officers in the afternoon? It could be seen that the Bai family's influence in the police headquarters was not small.
…
Not long after Huo Guanchen left, Huo Shaoheng heard Zhao Liangze's voice in his earpiece. "Mr. Huo, Commissioner Liao from the police headquarters is here with a pass. He wants to see you at the entrance of the official residence."
Huo Shaoheng grunted. "Tell him to wait, I still have something to do."
He sat alone on the sofa and pondered for a long time. It wasn't until the sun had risen that he got up from the sofa and returned to his bedroom.
Gu Nianzhi was still asleep. Huo Shaoheng bent down to touch her head. He discovered that her fever was gone, but there was still a slight sheen of sweat on her forehead. He didn't know how much sweat was left on her body.
He thought about it and went out to call Ye Zitan over. "Dr. Ye, can you help Nianzhi wipe down her body and change her clothes? Her fever has subsided, but she still can't move. "
Ye Zitan nodded sympathetically. "I know. Extracting bone marrow is so painful. She must have suffered greatly." He then praised her. "But Nianzhi's health is really good. A normal person would have died a long time ago. I can't believe she was able to endure it without making a sound."
Huo Shaoheng turned his head away and walked out without saying anything.
He went to the bathroom in the guest room to take a shower. After washing up, he came out to have breakfast with Chen Lie.
Chen Lie's eyes seemed to be spinning. He grabbed Huo Shaoheng's sleeve and said dreamily, "Huo Shao, this is bad. This is really bad …"
"What is it?" Huo Shaoheng glanced at him. "Let's talk inside."
They walked into the highly confidential Operating Room B. Song Jinning lay there quietly. Her face was rosy and pale. She looked very well.
"How is my mother's condition?" Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood in front of Song Jinning's operating chair. He looked at her silently for a while.
Chen Lie took out a stack of printed data and whispered in Song Jinning's direction. "Huo Shao, look at this. I don't even dare put it in her medical records …"
Huo Shaoheng took it and glanced at it. He didn't really understand the data.
Chen Lie snatched it back like it was a treasure. His face was red and oily. "Be careful! That's my precious baby! I'm telling you, if you dare burn them again, I … I … I'll kill you! "
Huo Shaoheng looked at him with disdain. "Speak human. What's going on?"
"Speak human. It's Gu Nianzhi. Can you give her to me?!"
"You have a death wish." Huo Shaoheng grabbed Chen Lie's collar. "Did you forget your military pledge?"
"Fine, fine! I was just exaggerating! Don't you know how to use rhetoric?! Soldiers are all illiterate! " Chen Lie couldn't help cursing. Huo Shaoheng was actually a straight-A student at the military academy. Of course, he couldn't compete in medical theory with a medical genius like Chen Lie.
It was just like how Chen Lie wouldn't compete with Huo Shaoheng in marksmanship or a 10-kilometer cross-country obstacle course. They were all experts in different fields.
"I told you not to play to the gallery, but you didn't listen." Huo Shaoheng tossed Chen Lie aside like a rag. "Hurry up and explain."
"Let's put it this way. Gu Nianzhi's genetic repair was very effective." Chen Lie lowered his voice and enunciated each word carefully. "I've never seen such perfect genetic repair data."
His expression was extremely serious, as if he had made a Nobel Prize-level discovery.
Huo Shaoheng's gaze was solemn. He folded his hands behind his back and looked at him without a word.
Chen Lie pursed his lips, his round eyes looking at Huo Shaoheng from under his round glasses. He patted Huo Shaoheng's shoulder. "If you don't want people to capture her and take her to the lab to dissect every inch of her, you have to guard this secret carefully."
"… But there are many people who know about this." Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and paced around the room. "There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Do you think this information can be hidden?"
"It's impossible to hide everything, so we can use a simpler piece of information to cover the truth." Chen Lie was the best at this. "I'll say that Song Jinning's recovery had something to do with her bone marrow transplant. She originally had insufficient vital energy and was physically weak. As for her mental recovery, don't mention that. "
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "What else?"
"As for why Gu Nianzhi wanted to transplant her bone marrow, that's easy to explain. Just say that their bone marrow types were compatible, so it was accepted. You know, with so many bone marrow donors, it's especially difficult to find a bone marrow that doesn't have any rejection. At least no one in the medical world will question it if we say it this way. "
Chen Lie spoke with confidence and considered all aspects of the situation.
Huo Shaoheng listened attentively for a long time before patting his shoulder. "Ok, I'll listen to you."
He then asked Chen Lie, "Is my mother okay now?"
"She's fine. She had a low fever in the middle of the night, but that's normal. After all, it's an external gene fusion, and the immune system activates, so there's a fever. She got better after that. " Chen Lie looked at Song Jinning lying on the operating chair. His eyes were filled with awe and admiration. It wasn't the kind of admiration one would have for a beautiful woman, but the kind of admiration one would have for a great medical achievement.
"Then why hasn't she woken up yet?"
"I said she wouldn't wake up until a week later. Right now, her body is repairing the damaged genes, so it's best for her to maintain this deep sleep. "Chen Lie took a deep breath." And I'll be here to personally watch over her this week. "
"Didn't you say you could only stay for a day or two?" Huo Shaoheng turned to look at him.
"… The data is too exciting, I don't want to go …" Chen Lie spread his hands and winked.
"Whatever." Huo Shaoheng looked away and turned to walk out the door. He said to Zhao Liangze through the headset, "Let Deputy Chief Liao in."
When he returned to the living room, he saw the new Deputy Chief of the Police Headquarters, Deputy Chief Liao, sitting there in exhaustion.
Huo Shaoheng had left him hanging at the door for most of the night. It was a good show of force, and it had immediately dealt a blow to his arrogance.
Seeing Huo Shaoheng enter, Deputy Chief Liao no longer hesitated. He stood up and saluted. "Major General Huo, I'm following orders from above. Please hand Gu Nianzhi over."
"Hand her over? Why do I have to hand her over? " Huo Shaoheng sat down on the sofa again. He pulled out his pistol from his waist and grabbed a gun wipe cloth. He wiped his pistol with a serious expression. "Tell me, what did she do? Do you have an arrest warrant? "
Deputy Chief Liao was speechless.
He was indeed difficult to deal with.
"Mr. Huo, this is the Special Operations Forces Headquarters. Anyone who can enter here has to have at least a level five security clearance. Gu Nianzhi … She can't even pass level one. How can she stay here? She's already violated the National Security Act. If you want an arrest warrant, I can have it issued right now. "
"Oh? A level five security clearance is required? Then arrest Bai Changhui and Bai Jinyi first. They came to the Special Operations Forces Headquarters yesterday and crossed the security line without a pass. According to you, they're also breaking the law. Why don't you arrest them? "Huo Shaoheng clasped his hands together and leaned forward. His piercing gaze made Deputy Chief Liao sweat profusely.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a white handkerchief. "Mr. Huo, so you're willing to break the law and disregard your mother to protect Gu Nianzhi?"
He was trying to get at Gu Nianzhi's importance to Huo Shaoheng.
