Gu Nianzhi wasn't Gu Xiangwen's biological daughter?!
This news was too shocking. Even someone like Huo Guanchen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. However, his years of military experience hadn't gone to waste. His self-control immediately got the upper hand, and he didn't cry out.
However, the strange feeling in his heart still showed on his face. Looking up to see Gu Yanran looking at him curiously, Huo Guanchen quickly clenched his fists to cover up his cough. "Miss Gu, you just said that Nianzhi isn't Gu Xiangwen's biological daughter? That's … impossible, right? "
He had never heard Huo Shaoheng mention it, not even a word.
"How is it impossible?" Gu Yanran was shocked, then suddenly realized. "You didn't know? I thought Huo Shao or Dr. Chen had already told you! "
She then muttered to herself, "No way? No one really knows about this? I thought everyone knew … This is really … I was too talkative … "As she spoke, she gently slapped herself, her face full of apology and guilt.
However, Huo Guanchen immediately believed her when he heard that even Huo Shaoheng knew.
He also immediately understood why Huo Shaoheng had hidden it from everyone …
If he hadn't hidden it, his marriage application wouldn't have been approved so easily.
Huo Guanchen had always been against it, so he didn't know that Huo Shaoheng had already quietly approved it …
If General Ji hadn't leaked the information today, he really wouldn't have known that Huo Shaoheng had not only approved the marriage application, but also Gu Nianzhi's background check!
The latter was the most difficult hurdle to overcome.
This scheming bastard!
Although Huo Guanchen was furious, he still felt a bit proud.
This was because the person who had the entire Supreme Military Council running around in circles was his son, his biological son.
Therefore, since he knew about this, he had to help him.
"Yeah, so is Nianzhi your father's daughter? I mean … legally speaking. "Huo Guanchen quickly calmed down and asked with a warm smile, as if he was unaffected by the news.
"Uh, yes, of course she is my father's daughter. Legally speaking, of course." Gu Yanran said firmly. She couldn't hide this, nor did she have any intention of being too extreme.
"Oh, that's good." Huo Guanchen chuckled. "Although she's not his biological daughter, Mr. Gu loves her like his own. That's enough. It's worth it for us to use the highest standards to rescue her. Goodbye. "
Huo Guanchen left as soon as he finished speaking. His back was still straight, and Gu Yanran stared in his direction for a long time before turning to leave.
…
Gu Yanran returned home sullenly and saw Ye Xuan fiddling with his electronic devices again. She suddenly had the urge to talk to him.
She sat over and hugged Ye Xuan's arm. She rested her head on his shoulder and said gloomily, "Xuan, I'm very sad."
"What happened?" Ye Xuan didn't even raise his head. His fingers were flying as he quickly typed out various commands on his laptop. No one knew what he was doing. Perhaps he was hacking into someone else's computer, or perhaps he was just purely enjoying the fun of roaming the internet.
"I … I don't know if I did something wrong today." Gu Yanran looked down. "Why do you think Nianzhi's luck is so good?"
"What's wrong with her?" Ye Xuan glanced at her. "She's … lucky now?"
"Did you know? General Huo and General Ji found out about Nianzhi's disappearance. " Gu Yanran left Ye Xuan's shoulder and leaned on the computer desk with one hand. "They're going to use the highest standards to rescue her, even if they know she's not my father's biological daughter."
"Haha, whatever." Ye Xuan laughed and spat out two words. "You think they can rescue her just because they use the highest standards? But why did you tell them that Nianzhi isn't Uncle Gu's biological daughter? Do they need you to tell them that? Don't they know? "
"I was careless." Gu Yanran was very upset. "I really was careless … Also, General Huo said that even if she wasn't, they would still do everything they could to rescue her. He also said that Nianzhi isn't my father's biological daughter, but my father loves her like his own. That explains everything. "
Ye Xuan stopped typing on the keyboard of his laptop. He silently looked ahead and said, "Actually, General Huo is right. Do you remember how you used to complain to me that Uncle Gu loved Nianzhi more and not you? "Ye Xuan turned to hug Gu Yanran as he spoke." Do you remember how I comforted you? "
Gu Yanran's face flushed.
Of course she remembered. Ye Xuan had told her, "You have me."
It was also that night that she gave herself to him after he said that …
"Xuan, luckily I still have you." Gu Yanran took the initiative to hug him.
…
Huo Guanchen returned to his office and thought about the entire incident from beginning to end. Finally, he picked up the phone and called General Ji.
"General Ji, there's something that I don't know if you know." Huo Guanchen sighed. "Nianzhi isn't Gu Xiangwen's biological daughter."
"Oh? She isn't?! "General Ji's heart also sank." Who told you that?! You can't say something like that! What era are we in now? How can you say she isn't?! Have you tested for dNA?! "
Huo Guanchen smiled bitterly. "Yes, it's precisely because of the era that we're in. With dNA verification, it's definitely impossible to slander someone casually, so they won't lie."
"Oh?! But when they went to Barbados to bring Gu Xiangwen back, they also said that they had detailed evidence to prove that Nianzhi is Gu Xiangwen's biological daughter! "General Ji stood up." What exactly is going on? "
Huo Guanchen was also confused by General Ji's words.
However, he carefully thought about the tricks his son had played and understood.
He chuckled. "Maybe we all misunderstood? At that time, they said that Nianzhi was Gu Xiangwen's daughter, but they didn't say that she was his biological daughter. I asked Gu Yanran, and she personally confirmed that Nianzhi is Gu Xiangwen's adopted daughter. "
An adopted daughter who had gone through legal adoption procedures, so of course she was Gu Xiangwen's daughter. Of course, he couldn't say that Huo Shaoheng and the others had made a mistake or lied to someone.
At most, it would just be a miscommunication that caused everyone to misunderstand …
However, General Ji's brows furrowed.
This was such an important matter, but Huo Shaoheng hadn't mentioned it to him at all.
Haha, what kind of tricks is this kid playing?!
However, this matter still needed to be verified to make sure that Gu Yanran was right before making a decision.
Furthermore, General Ji's thoughts went even deeper.
He believed that Huo Shaoheng wouldn't hide it from him forever. When he "got what he wanted," he would definitely tell him the truth. However, the truth was that no one wanted to be kept in the dark by someone they had raised with their own hands.
Also, if he had known that Gu Nianzhi was only an adopted daughter, he wouldn't have been so eager to help Huo Shaoheng pass her background check …
Now that everything was done, he finally realized that he had been played … It was hard to describe how he felt.
He really, really admired Huo Shaoheng, but this matter still made General Ji very angry. He thought to himself, This kid actually dared to lie to me, his direct superior, for a girl. He didn't even tell me half of the truth and kept the other half to himself. This kind of bad practice shouldn't be encouraged!
Just like a very dedicated gardener, what would you do when you see your carefully cultivated tree grow crooked?
Of course, you would pick up a pair of scissors and cut off all the crooked branches!
It took ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to nurture a person. It was so difficult to find a qualified and suitable successor!
General Ji sighed as he made up his mind.
Since Huo Shaoheng cared so much about Gu Nianzhi, to the extent that he was willing to "pay lip service" to his direct superior, who had directly promoted him, then he really had to pay attention to Gu Nianzhi's influence on Huo Shaoheng.
Since ancient times, heroes had always had a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman, but General Ji couldn't let him fail.
Even if he had to cut off the beauty, he couldn't let him fail!
This time, he would take it as a lesson to Huo Shaoheng and pour cold water on Gu Nianzhi. He had to make her realize that to Huo Shaoheng, the most important thing was always the interests of the country, the military, and the people!
It wasn't love. It wasn't her!
As for Huo Shaoheng, he had to remember this time. Let's see if he still dared to "avoid the important and dwell on the trivial" and "hide and lie" to him!
However, General Ji also knew that this matter couldn't be blown out of proportion. If it did, it wouldn't just be his own dissatisfaction, but the anger of the entire Supreme Council. These people would not hesitate to remove Huo Shaoheng from his position and replace him with their own people.
Huo Shaoheng was very capable, but without the opportunities General Ji had given him, he wouldn't have been able to achieve these results no matter how capable he was, because he wouldn't have had the opportunity to go on missions and achieve results.
In the short time that Huo Guanchen spoke, General Ji had already gone over the entire matter a few times in his mind and determined the attitude he needed to display.
When Huo Guanchen finished speaking, General Ji smiled calmly and said, "I see. To love Nianzhi more than his own daughter, that's not normal. When it comes to Nianzhi, the person who raised her dotes on her more than the person who gave birth to her! Hahahaha … Oh, I have a call. I'll take it first. Guanchen, hold on, I'll call you back. "
Seeing that General Ji didn't seem to mind, Huo Guanchen breathed a sigh of relief.
He was also worried that General Ji would hold a grudge against Huo Shaoheng because of this matter. After all, this matter could be big or small in nature.
But now that General Ji obviously wanted to keep the peace, Huo Guanchen couldn't be happier.
However, he and General Ji had the same thought. They were both secretly shocked that Gu Nianzhi had such a great influence on Huo Shaoheng!
They couldn't tell normally!
They originally thought that Huo Shaoheng was willing to marry Gu Nianzhi purely for the benefit of the country and the military …
Now it seemed that it wasn't that simple.
It wasn't wrong for a son to have his own thoughts now that he was older, but it wasn't the behavior of a man to place all his thoughts on relationships.
Huo Guanchen put down the phone and looked at the rescue plan he had come up with. After some thought, he crossed out "highest standard" and wrote "medium standard."
If he wasn't worried about Huo Shaoheng and worried that Huo Shaoheng would destroy him if something happened to Gu Nianzhi, Huo Guanchen wouldn't even want to use medium standard. He wanted nothing more than to call the Hua Xia Imperial Consulate in Munich and ask them not to give special treatment. Gu Nianzhi was just a normal citizen of the Empire, so they could just follow the rescue procedures for normal citizens overseas and ask the local police to investigate. They couldn't interfere with other countries' internal affairs …
Of course, he was only thinking about it. If he really did that, his son would definitely fall out with him when he returned.
And their fragile father-son relationship couldn't withstand any more twists and turns.
…
After putting down Huo Guanchen's internal call, General Ji looked at the files of the three members of the Gu family and called his personal secretary, Secretary Cao. "The three members of the Gu family don't have a dNA record on their IDs. Go get it from Chen Lie."
Secretary Cao knew that the important people the military paid attention to all needed a dNA record. Otherwise, who could change their appearance and fake it? How could they verify the authenticity?
"Yes, Chief. I'll call him right away and ask if Dr. Chen has it. "Secretary Cao nodded and took note of General Ji's task.
After Secretary Cao left, he picked up the black phone on his desk and called the Special Operations Forces.
No one had called him just now, so General Ji had only found an excuse to hang up on Huo Guanchen so he could get someone to investigate the truth.
Secretary Cao picked up the phone and said politely, "Operator, I'm Secretary Cao from the first office of the military office. Please connect me to Dr. Chen Lie. I have something to verify with him."
The operator was so scared she didn't even dare to breathe. She immediately said, "Yes, Chief!"
She quickly transferred the call to Chen Lie's office, but it was Ye Zitan who picked up.
The operator quickly asked, "Dr. Ye, is Dr. Chen there?"
Ye Zitan smiled. "Dr. Chen is doing an experiment and can't leave right now. What's the matter?"
The operator let out an "ah" in disappointment. "But the Bureau Chief is waiting to speak to Dr. Chen!"
"Chief? Which Chief? "Ye Zitan said anxiously." We can't keep the Chief waiting … "
"It's Secretary Cao from the first office of the military office," the operator said nervously. She didn't want to keep them waiting.
"Oh? Then take the call. I'll talk to Secretary Cao, "Ye Zitan said quickly and sat down on Chen Lie's seat.
"Okay, please wait." The operator's job was to take the call. Of course, it was up to Secretary Cao whether or not to speak to Ye Zitan.
She took the call back and asked Secretary Cao, "Chief, Dr. Chen is doing an experiment and can't leave right now. Dr. Ye Zitan asked if you have any questions, you can ask her."
The Chief's secretary was also the Chief to them.
Secretary Cao thought about it. Ye Zitan was like Chen Lie's assistant and was also one of the medical staff who took care of Gu Xiangwen. He nodded and said, "Okay, Dr. Ye it will be."
The operator quickly connected the calls to Secretary Cao and Chen Lie's office. Of course, Ye Zitan was on the other end.
