Huo Shaoheng left the T3 terminal with a cold expression. He completely ignored the guests who had come with Cai Songyin to welcome Tan Guiren.
When he walked out of the Imperial Capital International Airport, the Special Operations Forces vehicle that Yin Shixiong had brought was already waiting.
Three or four military vehicles surrounded Huo Shaoheng's car tightly. Other normal vehicles couldn't get close at all and could only stop and watch from a distance.
…
Cai Songyin's personal assistant said awkwardly, "Madam, is Major General Huo still going to the Senate?"
They had agreed to bring Tan Guiren and Huo Shaoheng to the Senate to attend Tan Dongbang's first televised speech since being elected Prime Minister.
Therefore, Cai Songyin had specially contacted her friends in the media world to carefully organize this small welcoming ceremony.
But this had happened in the end …
Although Cai Songyin felt uncomfortable, she still kept a smile on her face. "Of course, it's fine. We'll go first and let General Ji know when we get there. "
Would he dare not go if General Ji asked Huo Shaoheng to go?
Only Tan Guiren was very uneasy. After a moment of silence, she said, "Mommy, Mr. Huo still has things to do. Let's go ourselves. Don't make things difficult for him."
"Tsk tsk, you're being virtuous now? Girls are really attracted to their husbands … "Cai Songyin was very happy. How could she not be happy that her precious daughter was finally enlightened?
Tan Guiren forced a smile and said, "Mommy, he already has a girlfriend. Don't say anything more."
"Haha, who said he has a girlfriend? A girlfriend that the family doesn't acknowledge is just a female friend. Don't you understand that? Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's go see your father. He misses you so much. "Cai Songyin held Tan Guiren's hand and walked to the terminal door.
…
Huo Shaoheng bowed and got into the car. He sat in the middle seat in the back with Yin Shixiong beside him. Ma Qiqi didn't sit in the same car as them. Instead, she got into the car behind and sat with a female Special Operations Forces colleague.
Zhao Liangze sat in the front passenger seat. There was a full car communication system there that could be connected to the central control room.
Fan Jian immediately started the car and sped towards the Special Operations Forces.
Huo Shaoheng only gave him 30 minutes. He would have to ride a roller coaster to complete the task …
Yin Shixiong began explaining Gu Nianzhi's situation as soon as he got into the car. "… By the time I received the news and was summoned back to the Empire, Nianzhi had already been missing for more than ten days." He continued, "However, Professor He is actively searching for her in Germany. We can work with him."
Huo Shaoheng's face was expressionless, but the corners of his eyes kept twitching, showing that he was furious. However, he was used to not showing his emotions, so not many people could understand his anger.
"… You're saying that we only received news of Nianzhi's accident more than ten days after it happened? Get me the duty list. Who was with Nianzhi when she disappeared? " Huo Shaoheng deliberately ignored the conversation about He Zhichu. His voice was low and gentle. It sounded very pleasing to the ear, but it carried an incomparably heavy pressure. Yin Shixiong's forehead was covered in sweat.
"No … no one followed us," he stammered.
Huo Shaoheng's gaze swept over. His jaw tightened and his lips pressed into a thin line. "No one? Looks like someone wants to be shot. "
Narrowing his eyes, Huo Shaoheng's voice seemed to come from the depths of the earth. It carried the aura of death. "… Nianzhi's security level is Special A, the same as General Ji and Speaker Long. It's one level higher than the Prime Minister. Tell me, who had the ability to make her disappear for more than ten days before receiving news!"
Not only was Yin Shixiong's entire body trembling, but his voice was also shaking. "Not long after you left the country for the mission, Nianzhi's security level was completely revoked. So when she left the country, she was just a normal citizen. There was no one following her 24/7, and no one checking her GPS 24/7 …"
Huo Shaoheng suddenly raised his head. His eyes were like lightning as he looked at Yin Shixiong.
He chuckled softly and clenched his fists.
In that instant, Huo Shaoheng thought about how his mission had almost failed because of the traitor's betrayal. He had no choice but to stay abroad for a few months.
If he hadn't been quick to react and had more trump cards than others, he would have definitely fallen this time …
Once he fell, Nianzhi would have no one to protect her. She could only be a piece of meat on someone else's chopping board.
"Looks like it was a series of plans …" Huo Shaoheng slowly leaned against the back of the car, but his body did not relax. His voice gradually became icy. "Revoke? Who agreed to it? Who executed it? Big Xiong, don't tell me you don't know anything! "
Yin Shixiong trembled so hard he almost jumped out of his seat. He quickly said, "Reporting to Chief! The list of names has been verified! We await your punishment! "
Although he had not been able to track down Nianzhi's whereabouts for various reasons these past few days, he had done a lot of work. He had investigated all the suspicious points that Huo Shaoheng had raised. He had also compiled a list of the people responsible.
Huo Shaoheng expressionlessly looked out the window at the passing streets. He said dryly, "Then what are we waiting for? Arrest her immediately. "
"What?!" Yin Shixiong was stunned. "Arrest … Arrest her?! But … But … The people who proposed the revocation and executed it were all the military … the military's Supreme Council. "
Most people did not have the rank to make such a decision.
Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and closed his eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched. "… I really can't wait."
Of course, he could not arrest someone of her rank. But was he going to let her go just like that?
Ha, that was wishful thinking.
"Give me the list." Huo Shaoheng opened his hands to Yin Shixiong.
Yin Shixiong took out an electronic notebook and placed it in Huo Shaoheng's hands with both hands.
Huo Shaoheng looked through them one by one.
The standing committee of the military's Supreme Council only had seven people, but the entire Supreme Council had more than 50 people.
There were a total of three people who proposed the revocation of Gu Nianzhi's security rank and executed it. They were all from the Supreme Council. Of course, they were not members of the standing committee. However, the proposal by these three people was also approved by a majority vote.
The specific reason was that they believed that Gu Nianzhi's father, Gu Xiangwen, had already been found and was under military protection. This special A rank protection should be given to Gu Xiangwen, not Gu Nianzhi.
Back then, Gu Nianzhi had also been entrusted to Huo Shaoheng's custody by the military, so they indeed had full jurisdiction over Gu Nianzhi.
However, even though they had full jurisdiction, they purposely bypassed Huo Shaoheng, who was the specific guardian. That was interesting.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the list expressionlessly and wrote a few words before passing it to Zhao Liangze. "Report it to General Ji. Just say that I received a report from abroad that these people are traitors. Please ask the military police to investigate them and prove their innocence."
Zhao Liangze was speechless. "Sir, can you not be so blatant in your revenge?!" Zhao Liangze was speechless.
Yin Shixiong was speechless. Sir, it would be perfect if you didn't say the word "innocence" through gritted teeth!
At that moment, Zhao Liangze's car phone rang. He looked at it and saw it was from the car behind him.
Zhao Liangze picked up. "What is it?"
Ma Qiqi's anxious voice came from the phone. "Is Brother Xiong there? I want to ask you, where are you going?! Nianzhi was beaten! She was electrocuted! Why aren't you going to save her? What nonsense are you talking about?! "
"Electrocuted?!" Huo Shaoheng looked in the direction of the car phone. "How did you know?!"
"I have the video on my phone! Those bad guys sent it to me! " Ma Qiqi was frightened by Huo Shaoheng's tone. She shrank her neck and raised her phone timidly. "Uh, Brother Xiong has it too. I forwarded it to him."
Huo Shaoheng looked at Yin Shixiong, but before he could ask, Yin Shixiong had already raised his hand and said quickly, "My phone was confiscated. General Huo confiscated it."
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's mouth twitched. He simply said, "Stop the car."
Huo Shaoheng's car screeched to a stop on the shoulder of the highway. Ma Qiqi's phone was quickly delivered to Huo Shaoheng.
The car started again. Huo Shaoheng pressed play and Gu Nianzhi's screams rang out in the car.
The veins on the back of Huo Shaoheng's hand popped as he gripped the phone.
Gu Nianzhi's beautiful face wasn't very clear on the five-inch phone screen, but he could see that her face was swollen and badly deformed. However, she looked at the camera anxiously and not fearfully …
She was worried. What was she worried about?
Huo Shaoheng's fingers slowly moved to the phone screen. He wanted to caress her deformed face, but as soon as he touched the phone screen, he immediately retracted as if he had been electrocuted. It was as if he was afraid that if he used too much force, she would be in pain …
Yes, she would be in pain. It would be very painful …
When she was by his side, she would act coquettishly in front of him for half a day even if she was pricked by a needle. He was busy with work and usually ignored her coquettishness. However, as long as he occasionally had the time to touch her head, she would smile happily like a blooming flower. She was so dazzling that he couldn't look away …
However, he also remembered that last time in the blue hole, Nianzhi had almost been paralyzed by the electric shock. However, she had acted as if she didn't feel any pain in front of him.
He didn't know when it started, but she had even been hiding her pain from him? She only wanted to show her best side in front of him …
This Gu Nianzhi made his heart ache even more than when she liked to act coquettishly in the past.
And he knew better than anyone how timid she was.
When she first started working for him, she would often be awakened by nightmares at night. However, she didn't dare to disturb him, so she quietly hugged the small quilt and slept in front of his study.
One night, he worked overtime until midnight. When he pushed the door open, he saw the tiny Gu Nianzhi curled up in front of the study, sleeping soundly. Only then did he know how insecure she was.
From then on, no matter how busy he was, he would accompany her at night. He would accompany her when she woke up from nightmares in the middle of the night.
He believed that as long as he was the first person she saw when she woke up from nightmares, she would no longer be afraid.
Now, her nightmares had come again. Who would she see when she opened her eyes?
His heart felt like it had been cut open again and again and then soaked in salt water. The pain was numbing. However, when he saw the same name written on every crack in his heart, he realized that she had become an existence in his life that he couldn't let go of.
He would never retreat from her. He would never let go.
