"Xie Dezhao married Gu Tian, so he must be very familiar with the Gu family." Chen Lie let out a long sigh. "I finally found it."
After a pause, Chen Lie said, "Then is the Gu family not in the country?"
"Yes, my cousin said that Xie Dezhao and his first wife met and married overseas. They were both born and raised overseas." Huo Shaoheng paused and frowned slightly.
Chen Lie sensed it very sensitively and turned to ask him, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
"I'm thinking that if Nianzhi really is a daughter of the Gu family, then she … probably isn't from the Huaxia Empire." Huo Shaoheng looked at the stack of documents thoughtfully. "She appeared in our country, so it must have been when her family brought her back for a vacation or to visit relatives and friends. But why hasn't anyone looked for her in all these years?"
"Yes, we checked the missing person report records back then." Chen Lie nodded. "There was no case similar to Gu Nianzhi's situation at all."
Where were her relatives?
If they knew that she was missing, why didn't they come to find her?
With Huo Shaoheng's familiarity and control of the Hua Xia Empire's immigration control, if someone really entered the country …
"I forgot to check one place." Huo Shaoheng's expression changed. "If Nianzhi is a foreigner, then the immigration office must have her entry and exit records! At that time, we only checked the records of police stations across the country and didn't find her name in the immigration records. "
"Who knew she was a foreigner back then?" Chen Lie smiled bitterly. "I still remember her. She was like a wary little animal. She didn't speak, but when she did speak, it was fluent Mandarin. There was no sign of her speaking another language."
Huo Shaoheng immediately stood up. "Repeat the experiment again and hope to get the same result. I'll go find Little Ze."
Huo Shaoheng hurriedly left Chen Lie's lab and returned to his office. He said to Zhao Liangze, who was waiting for him there, "Immediately check the customs entry and exit records before Nianzhi appeared six years ago. Find out if there's anyone named 'Gu Nianzhi.'"
Zhao Liangze gasped and stood up abruptly. "Mr. Huo! You found Nianzhi's family?! "
"Not yet. But I hope it will be soon. "Huo Shaoheng walked in front of him." Investigate carefully. Don't let a single one go. I want to see who brought her here back then. "
Gu Nianzhi had only been 12 years old six years ago, so it was unlikely that she had entered the country alone.
Even if a person entered the country alone, there must be a letter of entrustment from his family to entrust to the stewardess to take care of him. This was also documented.
Zhao Liangze was excited. "I'll check right away!"
He had a special software that could search for a person's name in a sea of data. It was fast and would not miss anything. It was much faster and more accurate than searching by hand.
Zhao Liangze and Chen Lie worked together on both sides, with Huo Shaoheng in the middle. No matter what support they needed, he would give them the green light.
From the Entry and Exit Administration of the Customs to the temporary registration office for foreigners in the local authorities, they gave him whatever materials he wanted.
If the other party showed any signs of shirking responsibility, Huo Shaoheng would personally call their leader.
Just like that, layers of green lights were turned on, and everyone's work progress was very fast.
Zhao Liangze even traced back to the year of Gu Nianzhi's birth, trying his best not to miss any possible clue.
…
Huo Shaoheng personally arranged for a meeting with Xie Qingying's father, Xie Dezhao.
When Speaker Long received Huo Shaoheng's call to see Xie Dezhao, his jaw dropped and he couldn't close it for a long time.
"Shaoheng, you're really swift and decisive!" Speaker Long laughed happily. "It's only been a few days, and you're already meeting her parents? You haven't even asked Qingying out, have you? "
Huo Shaoheng knew that Speaker Long had misunderstood. He didn't explain further and only smiled. "Speaker Long, I'm doing this for official business. There are some things that I need Mr. Xie's cooperation with at work. I was wondering if Speaker Long could pass a message for me? "He then continued," There's no need to be too formal. We can just meet at a coffee shop near your house. "
"Meet at a coffee shop? You're asking the wrong person, aren't you? Shouldn't you be asking someone's daughter? Why are you asking her father instead? "Speaker Long was overjoyed and kept slapping the desk with one hand as he laughed heartily.
Huo Shaoheng smiled on the other end of the phone and quietly waited for Speaker Long to finish laughing before saying, "Do you have a way to contact him? I'll have my personal secretary set a time with him. "
"… Is it really official business?" Speaker Long became serious. "Can you tell me what kind of business it is?"
Huo Shaoheng hesitated and felt that it wasn't time to tell Speaker Long yet. Gu Nianzhi's matter needed to be kept absolutely confidential. He didn't want to say anything without concrete evidence.
"This is a routine investigation." Huo Shaoheng found an excuse. "The Special Forces has the right to meet with any foreigners who come to our country at any time."
Speaker Long knew that something was amiss, but it wasn't time for Huo Shaoheng to tell him yet, so he didn't rush him. Instead, he said, "Alright then, I'll pass on the message for you. You can discuss the specific time and place."
"Thank you, Speaker Long." Huo Shaoheng put down the phone and called Yin Shixiong over to help him arrange a meeting with Xie Qingying's father, Xie Dezhao.
Yin Shixiong received the order and immediately went to find a way to contact him.
…
Xie Dezhao was a middle-aged man in his late fifties. He had a slender figure and looked very elegant. Although he was old, his skin and figure were well maintained.
He was running on the treadmill when he received the call from the Special Forces.
"Hello, who's this?" Xie Dezhao frowned and wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck. He got off the treadmill and sat on the sofa in the corner. He drank a glass of saline water to replenish his energy.
Yin Shixiong asked politely, "Are you Mr. Xie Dezhao?"
"Yes, I am. Who are you?" Xie Dezhao asked again. He was getting impatient.
This kind of random call wasn't another telemarketing call, was it?
Xie Dezhao was about to hang up when the person on the other end of the line said, "I'm Yin Shixiong, the personal secretary of Major General Huo of the Special Forces. Major General Huo has something to discuss with you. May I know when you're free? Let's make an appointment."
"Special Forces?" Xie Dezhao immediately remembered what Speaker Long had mentioned to him. He hadn't expected a call so soon.
Xie Dezhao felt uneasy for a moment but quickly calmed down.
Anyone who was interviewed by an organization like this would be nervous.
But thinking about it carefully, he hadn't done anything shameful, so there was no need to be nervous about a meeting like this.
He nodded. "Ok, I'm free any day. I'll see what Major General Huo has in mind."
"That's great." Yin Shixiong was relieved. "We hope to make an appointment as soon as possible. How about this, are you free tonight? Between seven and eight? "
"So soon?" Xie Dezhao chuckled. He was also curious about what Huo Shaoheng wanted to say to him.
"Yes, our Chief is usually very busy and happens to be free tonight." Yin Shixiong chuckled and didn't allow Xie Dezhao to refuse. "Then let's meet at a European café near Speaker Long's house. How about that?"
"Ok, no problem." Xie Dezhao relaxed instantly.
The European café was a place he often went for breakfast. He would be more at ease meeting Huo Shaoheng at a place he was familiar with.
After hanging up, Xie Dezhao went to the bathroom to shower. He planned to have an early dinner after that.
When Xie Qingying returned home, dinner was already on the table. She asked in surprise, "Dad, why are you eating so early today?"
"I have something to do tonight." Xie Dezhao nodded at her with a smile. "Major General Huo from the Special Operations Forces asked me to meet at a café. I don't want to be late, so I ate early and waited at the café."
Xie Qingying froze. "Major General Huo? Is his name Huo Shaoheng? "
"Yes, you know him too?" Xie Dezhao was even more relieved. "So it's someone I know. Then I'm not afraid anymore, hahaha …"
Xie Qingying chewed on her chopsticks and thought for a while. She couldn't figure out why Huo Shaoheng wanted to talk to her father. She also recalled the day Huo Shaoheng had suddenly stopped her and asked her for her birth mother's name. It felt a little strange.
"Dad, can you take me with you? I won't show up and will wait for you next door. "Xie Qingying made this request after some thought.
