A trace of impatience flashed through Huo Shaoheng's heart, but he suppressed it and quickly said, "There's no time. I just wanted to tell you that in a few days, if someone comes to deliver a letter to a Mr. Gu, please accept it for me."
Tan Guiren was shocked. "A Mr. Gu? Who? "
"Please accept it for me. I'll pass it on to him." Huo Shaoheng didn't explain and only asked Tan Guiren to do as he said.
"Mr. Gu" was the code that Huo Shaoheng and James had agreed on. It was also Huo Shaoheng's nickname.
Tan Guiren pursed her lips and replied meekly, "Okay, I'll remember."
Huo Shaoheng sighed in relief when she didn't pursue the matter. "We were able to find you successfully because someone in the Hua Xia Empire provided us with accurate information. Me staying here now is also part of our plan. This person is the one who saved you. I hope you can return to the Hua Xia Empire as soon as possible so your parents don't worry. "He nodded at Tan Guiren and quickly left.
Tan Guiren was slightly taken aback. Before she could react, Huo Shaoheng's figure had already disappeared through the iron gate at the courtyard's exit.
His voice was so beautiful …
His words just now were articulate but also had a gentle and soothing charm. His voice was low and moving. It was a rare good voice.
Tan Guiren studied music, so her ears were more sensitive than others since she was young. Huo Shaoheng's voice was amplified even more when she heard it.
Huo Shaoheng was already out of sight, but Tan Guiren still stood by the door, holding onto the railing as she stared straight ahead.
On a summer afternoon, the courtyard was lush with trees, and the sea breeze blew gently. A bunch of purple wisteria flowers fell from the rack and swayed in the breeze, just like her mood.
…
As Huo Shaoheng expected, his conversation with Tan Guiren had been picked up by the CIA's wiretaps.
In the CIA's New York branch building, Sean's expression was dark as he listened to the conversation from the wiretaps. He said to James rudely, "Go investigate what's going on with our informant in the Hua Xia Empire!"
James was also stunned. He hesitated before whispering, "Director, I don't know who that informant in the Hua Xia Empire is either …"
"You don't know either?! You didn't develop it?! "Sean was shocked." There's something you don't know? "
"Of course." James smiled bitterly. "That informant hides very well. He never contacts us directly."
"I see." Sean was very surprised. "Then how do we know that the information is correct?"
"… Because it was sent from above." James felt a strange thrill in his heart when he saw this almost omnipotent young man being defeated.
Sean understood. It seemed that the informant's rank was very high, or in other words, he was developed by the higher-ups and only had a one-way contact with them.
"You also know that the Huaxia Empire has always been very good at infiltrating internal affairs. Many of the informants we bribed weren't really core internal personnel. They were just peripheral personnel. We spent a lot of money on them back then. Later, we met Bai Yusheng, and it was considered one of our most outstanding instigation campaigns in recent years." James found some psychological advantage and began to explain to Sean. "It's a pity that we didn't protect him well."
"As long as you know." Sean had regained some of his confidence. "If I had come earlier, Bai Yusheng wouldn't have died so mysteriously. — — Have you found out who killed him? "
"We guessed it was the Huaxia Empire's secret service, but we didn't have any evidence. The method of killing was very common, and there was nothing special about it, so we couldn't tell who did it. For a long time, we all thought he had an accident while diving … "
James lowered his head. This incident was also a huge thorn in his heart, but he didn't hate Bai Yusheng's murderer. Instead, he hated the higher-ups of the CIA.
When something happened, they pushed all the blame onto him, completely ignoring who had instigated Bai Yusheng's rebellion in the first place.
If it hadn't been for this incident, the position of Director of the Asian Intelligence Division would have been his.
"Fine, then we have to be even more cautious. I will report this to the higher-ups and have them investigate the informant in the Huaxia Empire who provided them with the information. Don't fall into their trap. " Sean pointed at the office door and said to James rudely, "Go out!"
This attitude was the last straw that broke James's wavering heart.
He clenched his fists and turned to leave.
…
It was another weekend, and Gu Nianzhi was packing in the graduate student dormitory at the Huaxia Empire's Imperial B University campus.
She treasured the silk scarf Huo Shaoheng had sent her back into her backpack and told Ma Qiqi that she would see her next week before returning to Huo Shaoheng's official residence for the weekend.
She hadn't been there for a long time, and this time she planned to stay for two days. It would be good to clean Huo Shaoheng's room.
She called Yin Shixiong and asked him to send a car to pick her up.
Yin Shixiong agreed and arranged a time for her to wait at the entrance of the dormitory.
When Gu Nianzhi came down, she saw a silver BMW limousine with a military license plate. It was obvious that Yin Shixiong had sent it.
However, when the door opened, it was Zhao Liangze!
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed and quickly ran over. "Brother Ze! When did you come back?! "
"I've been back for a few days." Zhao Liangze smiled and opened his arms to hug Gu Nianzhi, who had rushed over. "Let Brother Ze take a look. Hmm, not bad, not bad. You look great, and you seem to have gained weight … Ah! Why did you step on my foot?! "
Before Zhao Liangze could finish his sentence, Gu Nianzhi ruthlessly stepped on the tip of his foot. It was so painful that he almost cried.
Gu Nianzhi wore a pair of strappy sandals with high heels. The sharp heels could be used as weapons.
"Who told you to call me fat?!" Gu Nianzhi pretended to be angry and raised her head. "If you say anything else, it won't be as simple as stepping on your foot!"
"Ok, ok, Brother Ze said the wrong thing and touched Miss Gu's sore spot!" Zhao Liangze smiled and bowed, playing along with Gu Nianzhi.
After they got into the car, Gu Nianzhi finally remembered what Zhao Liangze had said. She smiled. "Brother Ze, don't say that I'm Miss Gu. Miss Gu is someone else. Don't let people misunderstand."
The current Miss Gu was, of course, Gu Yanran.
Tomorrow was the day they had arranged to visit Gu Xiangwen. Gu Nianzhi was also going there, so she decided to stay at Huo Shaoheng's official residence earlier.
Zhao Liangze laughed. "Then what should I call you? Second Miss Gu? Hmm, you're so dumb … "
"You're the one who's dumb! Your whole family is dumb! "Gu Nianzhi was even more upset." And don't call me Second Miss Gu. "
"Then what should I call you?" Zhao Liangze teased her.
"Nianzhi. That's what you guys always call me. Why not today?" Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. "Ok, don't change the topic. I won't ask you."
She had been lectured these past few days and understood that she couldn't ask about Huo Shaoheng.
She couldn't help but ask Yin Shixiong and Chen Lie. Not only did they not say anything, but they also lectured her.
Gu Nianzhi had learned her lesson. When she saw Zhao Liangze returning from a mission with Huo Shaoheng, she stopped asking.
Zhao Liangze nodded with a smile. "Actually, I wouldn't know even if you asked. Huo Shao is still on a mission. My mission is complete. "
