Huo Shaoheng heard a loud bang from the other end of the phone. His lips curled slightly as he looked at the call from "Professor He," but it was already disconnected.
He put away Gu Nianzhi's phone and spoke to the person on duty on the other end of the Bluetooth headset, "Have you finished reviewing the messages on Nianzhi's phone? You can let her in now. "
Gu Nianzhi's phone had always been under strict surveillance by the Special Operations Forces. Unless she called Huo Shaoheng's line, no one would listen in.
All other calls, whether they were made by her or someone else, were recorded and archived.
He Zhichu's previous message to her was also being "reviewed," and Huo Shaoheng had intentionally "reviewed" it for a few more days.
Gu Nianzhi had always known that her phone, all her social media accounts, bank cards, and electronic information were all under the Special Operations Forces' surveillance. She had been a minor in the past, so this was done to protect her.
Now that she was an adult, Huo Shaoheng didn't know if she would resist such omnipresent surveillance.
However, he wasn't used to thinking hypothetically, so he wouldn't think about it until Gu Nianzhi actually "resisted."
…
"Professor He? Professor He? Are you okay? " Wen Shouyi heard the loud bang from outside the study and quickly knocked on the door but didn't dare go in.
He Zhichu's study wasn't closed, it was only left ajar.
Wen Shouyi carefully peeked through the crack and saw the mess on the floor.
Other than the phone that had been smashed, there were also a teacup, a black jade paperweight, a green jade pen holder, and an Apple computer that had been pushed to the floor.
Now the desk in front of him was bare, with nothing on it.
Other than the phone and computer, everything else was antiques.
The Yuan Dynasty blue and white Qilin Full Moon teacup, the Tang Dynasty black jade paperweight, and the Song Dynasty green jade pen holder had all been dragged from the desk to the oak floor.
Each of the three items was worth hundreds of millions of dollars, enough to buy a few mansions within the Third Ring Road of the Imperial Capital. Yet he had smashed them to pieces without a care in the world.
The corners of Wen Shouyi's mouth twitched. Even if he had a lot of these things at home, he couldn't just throw them around like they were trash …
He Zhichu took a few deep breaths and finally controlled his emotions.
He leaned against the high-back massage chair behind the desk and closed his eyes. His cool face was ashen.
"… Nianzhi fell asleep … Nianzhi fell asleep …"
In the middle of the night, a man answered Gu Nianzhi's call and told him, "… Nianzhi is asleep …"
Although he knew that things might not be what he thought, He Zhichu still couldn't help but be angered.
It was as if something that originally belonged to him suddenly didn't belong to him anymore. Even if he wanted to take a look at it, it would be an extravagant hope.
How could this be?!
He Zhichu felt his head hurt even more. He raised his hand to rub his temples, but the pain didn't subside. Instead, it felt like sharp needles were stabbing into his head.
"Professor He? Professor He? "Wen Shouyi's expression changed when she saw He Zhichu's expression." Professor He? Do you have another headache? I can give you a massage … "
He Zhichu answered weakly, "Come in."
Wen Shouyi was delighted. She pushed open the door of the study and walked in.
After several months, she was finally able to get close to He Zhichu.
She washed her hands and warmed them under the hot air dryer. She applied a special massage oil and walked behind He Zhichu to massage the acupoints on his head.
Wen Shouyi had learned head massage from the He family doctor for He Zhichu.
The study was quiet. He Zhichu didn't speak, but his breathing gradually calmed down and his complexion returned to normal.
Wen Shouyi smiled slightly. She knew that her massage had worked.
He Zhichu's headache was soon gone. Wen Shouyi's massage technique was indeed quite good.
His expression relaxed a lot. He tapped his fingers on the armrest of his computer chair as he asked, "You've finished everything in the United States?"
Wen Shouyi wasn't only He Zhichu's teaching assistant at Harvard Law School, but she was also his assistant in the Huaxia Empire.
"I've finished everything. Classes are suspended over there. The doctoral students you're mentoring are scheduled to defend during the summer break. When the holidays are over, you can fly back to defend them. " Wen Shouyi was indeed a very talented secretary. She was also diligent and smart enough to rely on her own abilities to become an associate professor at Harvard. This was already proof of her abilities.
He Zhichu nodded. "Not bad …"
After a pause, he asked her, "Are your injuries all healed?"
"Much better …" Wen Shouyi smiled. "I've been using the gunshot medicine you brought from your hometown. It's healing quickly. I'm guessing that even the scars will disappear after a while."
Wen Shouyi's gunshot wound had been on Gu Nianzhi's birthday. She had taken a bullet for her when they encountered pirates in the Caribbean.
That bullet had nearly cost her life.
Although He Zhichu had wanted nothing more than to chase her back to her hometown, he never mentioned it again after she was shot.
However, he kept his distance and didn't allow her to get close to Gu Nianzhi.
When Gu Nianzhi was interning at the US Congress, Wen Shouyi had been chased back to Boston by He Zhichu and didn't stay in DC.
Later, He Zhichu decided to shift his focus to B University in the Huaxia Empire. There were too many problems to deal with, so he transferred Wen Shouyi back.
Wen Shouyi cherished this opportunity very much. It was practically the last chance He Zhichu would give her.
He Zhichu's mind kept replaying the phone call from earlier. His fingers gradually tightened into a fist.
He heard himself asking, "… That Huo Shaoheng, how much information can you find out?"
"Huo Shaoheng? You mean, Nianzhi's guardian? " Wen Shouyi tilted her head in thought. "He's a rising star in the Huaxia Empire's military. He's a General at a young age and leads the entire Special Forces. He used to be behind the scenes, but recently he's stepped up to the forefront. "
"… That's it?" He Zhichu was very impatient. "It's already been a few days, and this is the same information?"
Wen Shouyi was speechless.
This information was already very difficult to obtain!
"Professor He, we've just arrived in the Huaxia Empire and haven't established ourselves yet. If we rashly ask about the most mysterious leader of the Special Forces in the Huaxia Empire, we'll be targeted," Wen Shouyi replied airily.
How could He Zhichu not know this?
He just didn't want to wait anymore.
As soon as he thought about the phone call that day, his heart felt like it had been sliced into pieces and scattered on the ground for anyone to trample on.
"Hurry up and find out more about Huo Shaoheng." He Zhichu narrowed his shimmering almond-shaped eyes, his expression even colder.
He refused to think about the possible relationship between Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng. He only knew that as Gu Nianzhi's guardian, if Huo Shaoheng dared to steal from her, he would destroy his reputation!
…
Huo Shaoheng smiled as he put Gu Nianzhi's phone in his pocket and slowly walked down the stairs.
Speaker Long and General Ji were still engrossed in their game of Go.
"Happy New Year, both of you." Huo Shaoheng sat down across from them. His back was ramrod straight, and although he was sitting on the sofa, he maintained a military posture.
"Oh? It's already the New Year? "Speaker Long looked at his watch." That was fast! We haven't even finished our game of Go yet. "
"There's no hurry, both of you. If you want to play, take your time. I'm going upstairs to sleep." Huo Shaoheng didn't hold back. Since the two of them didn't ask how Song Jinning was cured, he didn't intend to bring it up.
However, General Ji knew him best. He glanced at Huo Shaoheng through his reading glasses and asked as he collected the Go pieces, "Your mother's illness is cured, but who cured her? You have to give the military and the Ministry of Science and Technology an explanation, right? "
"I can tell both of you, it was Chen Lie, the military's miracle doctor. With his help, my mother's illness turned for the better. Of course, she hasn't fully recovered yet, and Chen Lie said he wasn't sure if it wouldn't relapse again. "Huo Shaoheng very calmly gave Song Jinning a foreshadowing.
Speaker Long and General Ji were relieved to hear it was Chen Lie. "So it was him, no wonder … Okay, this matter ends here. Tomorrow is a holiday, and the day after tomorrow, prepare to report to the military and discuss with them about the experiment accident that year. "

Goodnight, dear friends!
PS: If you see that some chapters are charged differently, it's because of the word count …
Because subscriptions were charged per thousand words, a 2500 word chapter was roughly twice as expensive as a 1000 word chapter.
If you think it's too expensive, I can charge less.
I mainly hope that my dear friends who like the Major General's book can support the official subscription and voting. Recommendation votes and monthly votes are all welcome.
Because these are all results … If the results are good, it will encourage me to write more.
