General Ji and Speaker Long were actually discussing how to restart the investigation of the experiment accident under the guise of playing chess.
Seeing Huo Shaoheng's unyielding attitude, and considering his experience, abilities, connections, and skills accumulated over the years, they unanimously decided to let Huo Shaoheng represent the military and directly enter the investigation team to co-lead with the people from the Ministry of Science and Technology. This way, Huo Shaoheng could rest assured, and they could rest assured too.
Huo Shaoheng knew very well that it was because of his unyielding attitude and his strength that they couldn't ignore that they made such a decision in favor of Song Jinning. However, he didn't show it at all. He only nodded slightly and said in a humble tone, "Since the two of you have said so, then I shall accept."
General Ji and Speaker Long glared at him and muttered to themselves, it's said that old people become shrewd. Huo Shaoheng wasn't even 30 years old, but he was already this calm. Was he trying to ascend to the heavens?!
Before they could answer, Huo Shaoheng changed the topic and pressed on with a watertight approach.
"But I hope that the two of you can clarify this matter with them in case they talk about avoiding suspicion again. "If they ask me to avoid the investigation because I am Song Jinning's son, how are you going to explain it to them?"
"Will you avoid it?"
"Of course not." The corners of Huo Shaoheng's lips curled up, his expression relaxed.
"Then it's settled." General Ji glared at him again, "You solve this problem yourself. If you want to avoid suspicion because of a few words from others, that's your problem, not mine. "
Speaker Long also looked away and smiled, "The Senate will take a neutral stance on this matter." When he saw Huo Shaoheng's gaze sweep over, he quickly said, "As long as you inform us of the final results, it's fine."
So in the end, they didn't really care who was right or wrong, they only wanted the results.
Why did that experiment have an accident?
Why didn't that experiment succeed?!
Huo Shaoheng was also very curious, and because of the nature of his own work, he was more familiar with the progress of this experiment in the world.
"The United States has made rapid progress in this experiment in the past three years …" Huo Shaoheng looked at General Ji and Speaker Long calmly, "And 16 years ago, the Huaxia Empire was the only country in this field, and was at least 100 years ahead of other countries. But because of Bai Jinyi's delay for 16 years, we've been caught up by other countries. "
At the end of the day, he still wouldn't let Bai Jinyi go.
General Ji and Speaker Long looked at each other with serious expressions.
"Shaoheng, Bai Jinyi's matter has been handed over to the police. Don't complicate things." Speaker Long warned him solemnly, "The affairs of the Bai family are extremely complicated, and a slight change in one part can affect the whole situation. Besides, because of the large number of people in their family, their various in-laws are complicated, so we don't want you to be too ambitious, do you understand?"
General Ji sat silently at the side and did not comment.
His and Speaker Long's opinions were not always the same, so when he was silent, it usually meant that the two of them had different opinions.
Huo Shaoheng nodded and said calmly, "Don't worry, Speaker Long. What era are we in now? I don't even think it's possible. Besides, it's already too late to execute the whole family. "
"Hahahaha, good that you know." Speaker Long was amused by him and burst out laughing. "You did a great job with Bai Yusheng last time."
"Not at all, not at all." Huo Shaoheng refused to take credit. "The last time Bai Yusheng was executed, it was the Bai family who put justice before family. I can't take credit for that."
"Oh … Haha … You know?" General Ji and Speaker Long looked at each other awkwardly. "It's good that you know this."
"I know. What do I do? Did you two forget? " Huo Shaoheng stood up and helped them put away the chessboard. "It's already New Year's. We'll rest today, and tomorrow I'll go to the military for a meeting and confirm the members of the investigation team."
Before he knew it, Huo Shaoheng had already taken the initiative. He would not allow others to lead him by the nose on this matter.
Because it was his mother who was at stake.
General Ji and Speaker Long said their goodbyes and left after discussing this matter.
Huo Shaoheng saw them out, and on his way back, he passed by Gu Nianzhi's bedroom. He pushed the door open and put Gu Nianzhi's phone back on her bedside table.
Gu Nianzhi woke up groggily and saw a figure standing by her bed. Her whole body trembled in fear, and just as she was about to scream, a large, warm hand covered her.
It was a masculine scent that she was extremely familiar with.
Gu Nianzhi's terrified heart instantly calmed down, and she gently relaxed her body. Slowly exhaling, she opened her hazy eyes to look at Huo Shaoheng.
Her bedroom always had a night light on at night.
Huo Shaoheng only let go when she stopped screaming. He adjusted the duvet for her and turned to leave, but Gu Nianzhi grabbed his sleeve.
He turned around and looked at her inquisitively. Then he looked at her fingers that were tugging on his sleeve. Under the yellow light of the mango lamp, they were as clear as jade, almost translucent like an onion tube, so straight that the joints could not be seen.
Huo Shaoheng struggled but didn't use much force. Gu Nianzhi was holding him very close, so he couldn't break free.
"What's wrong?" he asked her quietly, reaching out to feel her forehead. She didn't have a fever.
Gu Nianzhi had just woken up, so her mind was still not very clear. Her body acted on instinct and leaned towards the person she was most attached to.
She reached out from the duvet and wrapped her arms around his neck. She murmured sleepily, "… Stay with me."
Huo Shaoheng's body instantly tensed up like an arrow waiting to be shot.
He looked down and only saw her forcing her large, sleepy eyes open. She looked at him stubbornly, her arms holding on to him and not letting go.
Huo Shaoheng's lips curled into a smile. He simply sat down by her bed and held her wrists. "Nianzhi, this is how you seduce me?"
"… Can't I?" Gu Nianzhi blinked, her long eyelashes like butterfly wings, almost fluttering on his face.
"You call this seduction? I think you want to use force … "Huo Shaoheng raised his brows and grabbed Gu Nianzhi's wrists to pull her arms away from his neck. His low voice came out of his mouth, and it was irresistibly seductive.
"Oh? You don't like me using force on you? " Gu Nianzhi was about to give up. She let go and lay flat on the duvet, her eyes smiling. "Then use force on me … I promise I won't resist …"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless. His usually calm heart actually skipped a beat.
However, he quickly smiled and patted Gu Nianzhi's cheek. He leaned against the edge of her bed. "Sleep, I'll stay with you."
"You're not leaving?"
"No."
"Until dawn?"
"Until dawn."
Gu Nianzhi curled up against Huo Shaoheng's leg with satisfaction, and finally rested her head on his thigh.
Although his thigh was as hard as a rock, and Gu Nianzhi even suspected that she would have a stiff neck if she slept on his thigh for the whole night, she still hugged his thigh to sleep.
She wanted to have this kind of thigh for the rest of her life …
Gu Nianzhi quickly fell asleep again.
Huo Shaoheng looked down and studied the girl who was like a little octopus clinging to his thigh. He smiled helplessly.
He pulled the duvet over and wrapped her up. Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes and fell asleep before he knew it.
Compared to the wild and remote mountains he used to sleep on during his previous missions, this wasn't too uncomfortable. Also, she was by his side, so he didn't have to be on tenterhooks anymore …
…
Huo Shaoheng woke up on time at six in the morning.
Gu Nianzhi was still sound asleep. Her skin was pink, and the duvet had been kicked into a mess by her. However, she still remembered to hug his thigh.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi's neck lying on his thigh in an extremely twisted position. He was a little worried that her neck wouldn't straighten today.
Just as he was hesitating, Gu Nianzhi's phone rang again.
Huo Shaoheng picked it up and saw that it was Zhao Liangze calling.
He frowned and reached out to swipe the phone open. Before he could speak, he heard Zhao Liangze ask anxiously, "Nianzhi? Nianzhi? Are you up? When did you last see Huo Shao yesterday? Did you see him this morning? I've been looking for him for a long time, but he's not in his bedroom! "
