Hearing Gu Yanran's voice, Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to turn around.
It was impossible for him to be impolite in front of so many people.
Huo Shaoheng whispered to Gu Nianzhi, "Something came up. I'll hang up now."
He turned off his Bluetooth headset and got up from the sofa to see Gu Yanran being blocked by Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze behind a large bonsai.
"Miss Gu is leaving?" Huo Shaoheng walked over. "So early?"
"Yes, something came up at home. My father will be going to the United States soon. I'll send him back before coming back to organize the funeral for our old servants." Gu Yanran's expression turned serious. "Our family suffered a great loss this time. I'll make them pay for every single one of their lives."
"Then Miss Gu, do you know who sent the gunmen?" Huo Shaoheng put his hands in the pockets of his tuxedo and looked at Gu Yanran intently. "If you don't know who the mastermind is, you won't be safe anywhere."
Gu Yanran smiled bitterly. "If we can't even be safe in the United States, I think we can only wait to die."
"Actually, in theory, everyone is waiting to die from the moment they are born, so Miss Gu doesn't have to feel too sad." Yin Shixiong joked around to lighten the mood.
The corners of Gu Yanran's mouth twitched again. Turning to face Huo Shaoheng, she lifted the hem of her dress and gave a western-style bow. "Mr. Huo, until we meet again." With that, she turned to leave, leaving behind a snow-white silhouette.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Yanran thoughtfully as she walked out of the Governor's Office and gave Yin Shixiong a look.
Yin Shixiong nodded knowingly and left as well.
After they left, Huo Shaoheng returned to his seat and continued to call Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi was sitting on her bed in her dorm, hugging her legs and looking very tired.
Ma Qiqi called out from outside the door. "Nianzhi? It's time for breakfast! There's fresh meat dumplings and mixed grain porridge that you like. I specially went to the porridge store outside to buy them for you! "
Gu Nianzhi felt hungry as soon as she heard Ma Qiqi's voice.
She heaved a long sigh of relief and hit her head. She cursed herself for not having eaten her fill. Why was she so bloated?
She had just gotten off the bed when she heard her phone ring again. She quickly took it and unlocked it. "… Huo Shao?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Huo Shaoheng hurriedly said, "Nianzhi, did you know that Professor He was looking for Gu Yanran?"
Gu Nianzhi was originally a little unhappy, but when Huo Shaoheng asked about it, she immediately calmed down and answered honestly, "I did."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Huo Shaoheng's voice deepened. "How many times have I told you to tell me anything? Don't hide it from me. Do you remember?"
Gu Nianzhi felt very wronged. She leaned against the wall with her phone in her hand and whispered, "… Didn't you guys test my DNA with hers? There's no connection at all … So when Professor He asked Gu Yanran for the contact information of her family doctor and dentist, I thought it was unnecessary and fruitless, so I didn't mention it. "
There was no point in telling him anyway. Besides, was she really going to tell him everything that happened in her life, no matter how big or small?
Wouldn't he annoy her to death?
Huo Shaoheng thought about it and felt that what Gu Nianzhi said made sense. However, the relationship between He Zhichu and Gu Yanran, as well as the relationship between the He's and Gu's, was the focus of their investigation. Therefore, it was better to tell him everything related to that.
But he couldn't explain it clearly to Gu Nianzhi.
So after thinking about it, Huo Shaoheng decided not to continue talking about it. His voice became gentle. "Nianzhi, did you miss me when I wasn't around for a few days?"
Gu Nianzhi's heart was suddenly filled with sweetness. She whispered, "Yes … I missed you every day … I missed you all the time …" She then asked Huo Shaoheng, "What about you? Did you miss me? "
"What do you think?" When they were on the Gu's island, Huo Shaoheng's heart softened whenever he thought of Gu Nianzhi. That feeling was too foreign to him, who was cold and stern. His first reaction was to suppress that softness.
Later on, he slowly accepted that it was a feeling that belonged to him and Gu Nianzhi.
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth curled up. She began to say coyly, "… I don't know. I want you to tell me … I want you to tell me …"
Her drawn-out voice turned in a circle. It was like a silk thread wrapping around his heart again and again.
Huo Shaoheng grunted and said calmly, "I'm going over there to toast the Governor. You're about to start class, right?"
Gu Nianzhi could only give up. She quickly said, "Then take care …" She then said reluctantly, "I'll wait for you to come back."
"Okay, good girl."
Through the phone, thousands of mountains and rivers, across the ocean, Gu Nianzhi seemed to feel the warmth of Huo Shaoheng's large hand caressing the top of her head.
She narrowed her eyes. All the blood that filled her chest slowly flowed back to her limbs.
Opening her eyes, she felt like she was alive again!
She was in high spirits. The world looked so much better than it did a second ago.
Opening the room door, she saw the dining table in the living room filled with breakfast. She took a deep breath.
This must be the taste of happiness.
…
Huo Shaoheng and the others only left the banquet at the Governor's residence late at night.
As soon as they returned to the hotel, Huo Shaoheng received a call. He immediately understood why Gu Yanran was so confident.
The call was from the highest commander of the Huaxia Empire's Army, General Ji.
The first thing he said was, "Shaoheng, the military has given you a mission. You're responsible for escorting Gu Yanran's father, Gu Xiangwen, to the United States. You have to ensure his safety. There can be no mistakes."
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
What was going on?
General Ji saw that Huo Shaoheng didn't speak for a long time and knew he was upset.
Gu Yanran had already asked someone to tell him about the previous incident. She had even sent a big gift to the Huaxia Empire's Army.
The new laser-guided weapon was known as the "Satellite Killer." The Huaxia Empire had been developing it themselves, but they hadn't had a breakthrough in accuracy until Gu Yanran had emailed them a blueprint model that perfectly solved their technical problems.
Gu Yanran had always been in contact with the Huaxia Empire's higher-ups. The donation incident last time had caused some unhappiness, but Gu Yanran apologized very sincerely this time and sent her own gift first. Her only condition was that Huo Shaoheng bring people to help escort her and her father to the United States.
From Barbados to the United States, as long as they got on the plane, they would be halfway to success. However, the problem was that Gu Yanran was still hiding her father somewhere. Even the gunmen couldn't find him.
Huo Shaoheng asked General Ji calmly, "Do you know that she's being hunted? Do you know why she's being hunted? "
General Ji froze. "I know that she's being hunted. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked for your help. Shaoheng, this isn't right. Since she has a favor to ask from us, how can you leave her be? "
Huo Shaoheng wanted to say that he had his own plans, but the involvement of the military higher-ups had obviously disrupted his plans. He couldn't ask them to listen to his commands.
After a moment of silence, Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Ok, I can escort her, but she can't go to the United States. She has to come to the Huaxia Empire."
