Yin Shixiong was still smiling as he looked in the direction of the black limousine, but his heart was in turmoil.
He had never expected to see He Zhichu at such an occasion!
He wouldn't have been surprised if this was the United States. He Zhichu had great influence in the political and military circles, but in the Huaxia Empire?!
He had never known that He Zhichu had such a close relationship with the Prime Minister's family.
This was a dereliction of duty on the part of the Special Operations Forces.
Yin Shixiong rubbed his ear with one hand and began tapping lightly and deeply. He was sending the Morse code through the earpiece.
Zhao Liangze and Huo Shaoheng received the message at the same time.
Zhao Liangze didn't know Dou Qingyan well. Like Yin Shixiong, he was only very surprised that He Zhichu would appear at such an occasion.
Huo Shaoheng's feelings were more complicated.
Dou Qingyan had actually appeared with He Zhichu?
His eyes darkened as his gaze fell on Gu Nianzhi's beautiful face. He reached out to shake her hand.
Gu Nianzhi turned back to smile at him. Her red lips curved into a smile, and her eyes, which had the effect of contact lenses, were like a lake in autumn. It was breathtaking.
Zhao Liangze got out of the bulletproof car and opened the door for Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng came out first, then reached out to take Gu Nianzhi's hand and help her out of the car.
Gu Nianzhi wore a cherry-pink A-line one-shoulder tulle evening gown with a small mink shawl draped over her shoulders. Her long hair flowed down her back and was only braided at the top of her head. She had no bangs and only revealed her smooth, full, fair, and delicate forehead. Only the youngest dared to dress like this. She was beautiful and full of youthful energy and unbridled.
Her eyebrows were almost natural and didn't need to be trimmed. Her eyelashes were long and curly, thick and natural. She didn't need to apply mascara or worry about the mascara falling off and ruining her makeup.
Her youthful face was only covered with a light layer of matte foundation to make her pale face less dazzling.
The color of her lipstick was also light cherry pink, and her lips were moist and tender.
No matter who she was in front of, she always stood out from the crowd.
Huo Shaoheng took Gu Nianzhi's hand with a hint of undetectable admiration and led her to the steps of the Prime Minister's official residence.
…
Outside the main entrance of the Prime Minister's official residence, He Zhichu walked up to the Prime Minister and his wife. He bowed slightly and said coolly, "I am He Zhichu. Nice to meet you."
The Prime Minister hurriedly reached out and shook his hand. "Thank you, Lawyer He. It's all thanks to you that our Qing Yan is back!
"Sister! Sister! You're back! " The young, delicate girl next to Dou Haoyan stepped forward and took Dou Qingyan's hand. "Sister, do you remember me? I'm Ai Yan! "
"Little Aiyan, you've grown so big!" Dou Qingyan smiled and tousled Gu Nianzhi's hair. She turned to He Zhichu, who was standing beside her. "Lawyer He, this is my sister, Aiyan. She's much younger than me and my brother. She just turned 18 last year."
Dou Aiyan looked at He Zhichu curiously and blushed. She smiled at him, "Hello, Lawyer He."
He Zhichu nodded at her. He had heard that she had also just turned 18. His eyes lingered on her face for a while longer.
The Prime Minister's wife took Dou Qingyan's hand. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "Qingyan, come in with Mommy. You're so cruel. You left for six years and didn't even contact Mommy and Daddy. Your brother and little sister almost don't recognize you anymore."
"What are you talking about, Mom? How could I not recognize Qingyan?" Dou Haoyan chuckled. "But I'm not sure if Little Aiyan will remember Sister."
"Nonsense!" Dou Aiyan puffed out her cheeks. "I was 12 when Sister left. How could I not remember?! Do you think I'm an immature baby?! "
"Look at you, still wet behind the ears. How are you any different from a baby?!" Dou Haoyan laughed and turned to He Zhichu. She said gratefully, "Lawyer He, thank you for your help."
He Zhichu replied dryly, "It was nothing. It's not worth mentioning."
"It may be nothing to you, but it's a big deal to my whole family." Dou Haoyan was very sincere. He stepped aside to make way for He Zhichu. "This way, please."
He Zhichu nodded slightly. He and Dou Haoyan followed him to the Prime Minister's official residence.
Dou Qingyan followed the Prime Minister's wife for a few steps, then suddenly said, "And Miss Wen, where is she?"
He Zhichu stopped in his tracks. Wen Shouyi had already caught up from behind.
She had just stepped out of the black luxury limousine and had been standing silently to the side with a smile on her face. She did not seem to be there at all.
When she heard Dou Qingyan call her, she hurried over. "Miss Dou …"
"Shouyi, you can just call me Qingyan. There's no need to be so formal." Dou Qingyan was very friendly with her. She took her hand and introduced her to the Prime Minister's wife. "Mommy, this is Miss Wen. She's Lawyer He's assistant and an associate professor at Harvard Law School. Don't be fooled by her gentle demeanor. She's sharp in court. She's as good as any man!"
"Miss Wen is that good? How rare. " The Prime Minister's wife courteously praised her, then walked with them through the main entrance of the Prime Minister's official residence.
The Prime Minister accompanied He Zhichu inside. His eldest son, Dou Haoyan, was also by He Zhichu's side.
Dou Aiyan was the last to enter, but she didn't mind. She looked curiously at the guests who were going through the security check at the side door of the official residence and waved at them. She jogged to catch up to her older brother, Dou Haoyan, and held his hand as she looked at He Zhichu, who was walking in the middle.
The guests who were still going through security outside the Prime Minister's official residence were very curious about He Zhichu's identity.
They whispered to each other, but no one knew who he was.
He Zhichu's direct "parachute" into the upper echelons of Huaxia society on New Year's Day immediately attracted the attention and curiosity of countless people.
So many people were asking about He Zhichu's background, but Yin Shixiong was probably the only one who knew his background.
Jin Wanyi also looked at him curiously for a long time. She sighed. "Isn't that Huo Shaoheng? But I think he's also very imposing! "
"Really?" Yin Shixiong laughed. "No matter how imposing he is, he can't be more imposing than Major General Huo, right?"
"Why do you say that? You've seen Huo Shaoheng before? "Jin Wanyi was even more curious now." Where do you work? "
Yin Shixiong rubbed his chin. He smiled. "I'm deducing from common sense. Think about it, Major General Huo is a general in the military, and this Lawyer He is just a lawyer. Do you think the general or the lawyer is more imposing? "
"That's true." Jin Wanyi nodded. "But I don't think he looks like a lawyer."
"Doesn't look like a lawyer? Why do you think so? "
"… I can't really explain it, it's just a feeling." Jin Wanyi shook her head. "Don't listen to me. I'm just guessing."
Yin Shixiong looked thoughtfully in the direction He Zhichu had disappeared. He sent a few more messages to Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze.
…
Gu Nianzhi held Huo Shaoheng's arm as they walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Prime Minister's official residence. The lobby had already been set up like a buffet restaurant.
The chefs and team from a five-star hotel were providing professional catering services here.
The chefs and waiters in uniforms and white hats shuttled back and forth in the living room. Long tables covered with snow-white tablecloths were filled with delicacies from all over the world.
In the small garden behind the living room, there was also high-quality beef and mutton shipped from the West. There were people in charge of barbecuing them.
Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi slowly walked in from the back door of the lobby and met the Prime Minister and his entourage who had entered from the front door.
Music began to play in the living room. The cheerful tune lifted everyone's spirits. The guests clustered around the Prime Minister and his entourage like stars surrounding the moon.
Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi stood at the other end of the lobby. Zhao Liangze was the only attendant beside them, but his imposing manner did not diminish.
Gu Nianzhi looked up and giggled at Huo Shaoheng beside her. Huo Shaoheng lowered his head and smiled.
He Zhichu stood in the middle of the crowd and watched the scene from afar. His shimmering, sultry eyes were cold and murderous.
