Gu Nianzhi's voice was hoarse from crying, and it sounded like a completely different person from her usual sweet and tender voice.
But he clearly knew that it was Nianzhi's voice.
He originally thought that she was in extreme pain when he saw the video of her being electrocuted, but hearing her cry, he realized that there was something even more painful than that.
"… I was wrong … I deserve it …"
These two sentences hit Huo Shaoheng like a nuclear bomb, and he was instantly crushed into pieces without any effort.
For a moment, Huo Shaoheng's mind was in a state of almost unconscious blankness.
He no longer saw the dark blue night sky before him, nor did he see the twinkling stars close at hand. There was no private plane in front of him that he had been so worried about. He only felt that he was in a boundless wilderness, where the world was long and the years had passed.
He was like a traveler who had traveled thousands of miles in the desert. All his food had been eaten, and all his drinking water had been used up. But when he saw the oasis in front of him and thought that he had been saved from death, he suddenly collapsed.
He heard her voice in the air and echoed in the wilderness. The wind lingered in all directions, and the rain was bleak.
Every word came from the depths of her heart, entered his ears, and entered his heart. She exposed the deepest part of herself, and he could see her pain. It was the kind of pain that she couldn't let go, but she had no choice but to let go.
The expression on his face didn't change, and his hands were still firmly gripping the plane's rudder. He looked straight ahead and didn't seem to be moved at all.
But the shock of that moment was indescribable. It could only be described as empathy. He was in as much pain as she was in, and the pain was doubled.
But he was a man, a man who believed in bleeding but not crying. No matter how serious the injury, no matter how painful the pain, he would only smile and swallow it.
Even if he was really blown to smithereens by a nuclear bomb, he would still return to protect the country in his heart.
At that moment, he would rather turn into a gust of wind. Every time she felt the breath of the wind, it meant that he had returned to see her.
But the woman he couldn't let go of, the woman whose name was engraved in every crevice in his heart, the woman he loved more than his life, was covered in wounds because of him.
He didn't know that Nianzhi was in Germany and was imprisoned, but she had also seen him and Tan Guiren get off the plane.
When she was at her weakest, when she needed help the most, and when she longed for him the most, he used his carelessness to give her a fatal blow.
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's lips slowly curled into a faint smile.
In his more than ten years of military career, he had been tortured, shot, and fought against all kinds of outlaws like a savage in the rubber forests of Southeast Asia.
He had a large area of skin grafting on his back, and the gunshot wound on his shoulder had almost pierced through his entire body. Fortunately, he was lucky that the bullet did not hit his shoulder blade, otherwise he would have been disabled.
But all the suffering added up together was not as devastating as Nianzhi's two sentences.
Those sufferings only hurt his body, but her pain directly hit his soul.
He already knew that being with her would be a huge gamble. Since she had already placed her bet, he could only accompany her to the end.
He had squandered all his emotions on her, and when she no longer wanted him, he would have nothing and be completely broke.
The girl who was seven days away from turning 19, the girl who had been with him from the age of 12 to 18, had used this kind of determination to carve it into his heart.
Those people were really scheming …
They finally knew his weakness, so they raised their knives and ruthlessly stabbed the softest and most fatal part of him.
But if they thought they could completely defeat him like this, they were gravely mistaken.
Huo Shaoheng held his breath and stared straight ahead. He was dazed for a moment, then said with focus, "… Nianzhi was in so much pain, but you still recorded it. He Zhichu, I really overestimated you. Don't you think it's despicable to tear open someone's scars and show them to others? Nianzhi trusted you so much that she told you what was in her heart. Is this how you treat her trust? "
He Zhichu actually regretted it as soon as he played the audio. He knew Reinitz had bad intentions when he sent the audio to him.
It was recorded at Reinitz's home. Reinitz's "home" wasn't his real home at all, but a secret stronghold of the German Federal Intelligence Service. So it wasn't strange at all that there were all kinds of secretly recording devices.
He clearly knew Reinitz's intentions, and he had no intention of showing it to anyone. However, when Huo Shaoheng relentlessly chased after him, he lost his head in anger and played it to him without hesitation.
Now that Huo Shaoheng had hit on his guilt again, He Zhichu clenched his fists and refused to back down. "If others say that about me, I'll admit it. It's despicable, and I betrayed her trust. But only you can't, because you're the one who should hear it the most! What's wrong? Are you angry?! Can't you get as far away from her as possible? Don't let her see you again! "
Huo Shaoheng relaxed and said calmly, "It's not up to you to decide whether she wants to see me or not. You have to let Nianzhi decide for herself. Similarly, did you get her permission to take her to the United States? "
"She was injured so badly by the Gestapo and is still in a coma. You still want me to ask her? Ha … "Of course, He Zhichu wouldn't let Gu Nianzhi talk to Huo Shaoheng.
What was there to say? She had given up, and no matter how glib she was, it wouldn't change the truth.
Huo Shaoheng had already expected Gu Nianzhi to be injured, so he said calmly, "It's precisely because she's injured that you should hand her over to me. Only I can take care of her more safely."
He Zhichu understood Huo Shaoheng's hidden meaning.
He Zhichu knew Gu Nianzhi's special constitution better than anyone, even Huo Shaoheng.
This was also why he had been hesitant to take her back immediately.
He still didn't have complete control over his hometown, and he hadn't caught the mastermind yet. He was afraid that if Nianzhi went back with him, the tragedy from back then would repeat itself.
But this time, he realized that his worries were unnecessary.
As long as she was by his side, no one would dare take her away.
These few times, those people had wanted to harm Nianzhi, but they had secretly transferred him away before they dared to make a move.
What did this mean?
It meant that they were afraid of him, so afraid that they didn't dare to play tricks in front of him.
So as long as Nianzhi was always by his side and didn't leave his sight, she would always be safe.
And he could also act without worry and eliminate all the hidden dangers one by one.
"You? She only ended up like this because you took care of her! "
"Are you sure? It was because I wasn't by her side that she was in danger. He Zhichu, do you know that it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish? You have to protect her, not put her under your nose and watch her every night. Without freedom, how are you different from those people who want to imprison her? "
Huo Shaoheng patiently reasoned with He Zhichu. He didn't want to anger him, and Nianzhi was still in his hands.
"I imprison her?!" He Zhichu couldn't take it anymore. "If it was in the past, I would still be grateful to you for saving her and taking care of her. But now, look at how much suffering she has suffered because of you! "
Huo Shaoheng saw that He Zhichu wouldn't listen to any advice, and he had already detected that there were more and more fighter jets spying on them around them. They couldn't waste any more time here.
"He Zhichu, think about it carefully. She was unscathed for six years with me, but ever since you came to her side, she's had bad luck. Do you really think she's in trouble because of me? "
Huo Shaoheng finally stopped being polite. At the same time, he flipped his wrist, and the fighter he was piloting suddenly turned 90 degrees. The fire-control radar quickly activated and locked onto a foreign fighter jet in their nine o 'clock direction.
Bang!
A series of interference missiles suddenly fired from the direction locked on by the fire-control radar of Huo Shaoheng's fighter jet. It emitted threatening smoke in the night sky, and then very quickly, a fighter jet with a plaster flag appeared and quickly left the nine o 'clock direction.
"See? There's more than our fighter jet here. " Huo Shaoheng reminded He Zhichu, "Don't hesitate anymore. At least wait until Nianzhi recovers before making a decision."
"What do you mean?" He Zhichu was a bit anxious. He had also seen Huo Shaoheng drive away the Japanese fighter jet with the plaster flag. "Can you guarantee it?"
"You can record my words now. If I go back on my word, you can play it for anyone to hear, including Nianzhi, or even my boss, my colleagues, or my subordinates. You can make me lose all my dignity.
He Zhichu's expression darkened. "Fine, that's what you said. Repeat what you just said, and I'll record it."
He turned on the recording button on his phone.
Huo Shaoheng said clearly, "I, Huo Shaoheng, agree to wait for Gu Nianzhi to make a decision after she wakes up. Whether she stays in our country or goes to another country, it's all up to her."
He Zhichu recorded it and replayed it for Huo Shaoheng. "You heard that? If you don't let her go, I have other ways besides this. "
"I believe you." Huo Shaoheng didn't care. "With Lawyer He's methods, if you really want to mess with me, you naturally have a way."
"It's good that you know."
He Zhichu left the cockpit and went to Gu Nianzhi's cabin.
Gu Nianzhi was still unconscious. He Zhichu was startled to see her cheeks flushed red and her face like a peach blossom. He reached out to touch her forehead and found it was boiling hot.
She had a fever …
He Zhichu composed himself and called her softly. "Nianzhi? Nianzhi? How do you feel? "
Gu Nianzhi also knew she had a fever. Her entire body was burning, her lips were chapped, and her throat was burning.
She answered softly with a raspy voice and opened her eyes to look at He Zhichu weakly.
He Zhichu patted her head and asked quietly, "Nianzhi, are you willing to go home with me?"
Gu Nianzhi's eyes were slightly closed as she stuttered, "… Professor He, aren't we going home?"
He Zhichu hesitated before asking tentatively, "Yes, come back with me to the United States. Do you want to go?"
"Why go to the United States?" Gu Nianzhi frowned. "The United States isn't my home. My home is in the Huaxia Empire. I want to go back to the Huaxia Empire."
"You still want to go back to the Huaxia Empire? I thought you already cut ties with Huo Shaoheng. You still can't leave him? "He Zhichu's smile was a bit bleak and disheveled.
No wonder Huo Shaoheng always had the upper hand in front of him. He was so sure …
She loved him, so he would always be invincible.
And this position was originally his. What right did Huo Shaoheng have to take it away?!
Although Gu Nianzhi had a high fever, she wasn't confused.
She shook her head slightly. Although her voice was hoarse, her words were clear. "No, I want to go back to the Huaxia Empire because my home is there. My studies, career, and friends are all there. As for Huo Shao, I have nothing to do with him anymore. "
She no longer felt anything special when she mentioned this name.
"Nothing to do with him anymore? What if he insists? "He Zhichu was obviously worried. He didn't believe Huo Shaoheng would let go.
Gu Nianzhi was silent. "No, he's not that kind of person."
If she insisted on breaking up, Huo Shaoheng wouldn't pester her.
She had been with him for so long. From an ignorant 12-year-old to a young girl who had her first awakening of love, she had used all her wisdom to figure out the seemingly unreachable and taciturn, iron-blooded man.
Although she had lost completely in the end, she didn't regret it.
If she hadn't loved deeply, how would she know what she really wanted?
