Yin Shixiong finally raised his head to look.
One look and he almost knelt down …
"Little Little … Ze, Huo Shao didn't hear what I said just now, did he?!" Yin Shixiong's legs were trembling, and his face was drained of all color.
"What do you think?" Zhao Liangze rolled his eyes. "You should just keep these thoughts to yourself, why say it out loud? Haven't you learned your lesson from feeding the pigs last time? "
Yin Shixiong felt like he could hear the pigs in the kitchen squealing at those words …
He wanted to scratch the wall in frustration. He didn't want to feed the pigs again!
After a while, Huo Shaoheng returned with General Ji. He didn't say anything, nor did he look at the two of them. He just walked past them and returned to his office.
If Huo Shaoheng immediately gave Yin Shixiong the cold shoulder, punished him, or even sent him to feed the pigs, it would be better than ignoring him now …
Although Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything, the pressure was even greater than sending Yin Shixiong to feed the pigs.
Zhao Liangze fell silent and quickly returned to his office to work.
Yin Shixiong stood at the door of the conference room in a daze for a while before finally deciding to confess.
He walked to Huo Shaoheng's office door and said loudly, "Report! Lieutenant Colonel Yin Shixiong, Deputy Chief of the Special Operations Forces, requests to see Major General Huo! "
This was an official military title.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't ignore him in the office.
"Come in." A calm voice that was neither loud nor soft floated out from the door.
Yin Shixiong scratched his head and mustered up the courage to push the door open and walk in. He closed the door and threw himself at Huo Shaoheng's desk, almost kneeling before him.
"Huo Shao, I was wrong. Please punish me! "Yin Shixiong looked at Huo Shaoheng nervously. He was just short of tears and snot.
Huo Shaoheng slowly raised his head from the computer and glanced at him. His dark eyes carried an indescribable pressure that made Yin Shixiong's knees turn to jelly. He wanted to shrink under the table.
"What did you do wrong?" Huo Shaoheng looked away and returned to the computer, his hands still tapping away at the keyboard.
"I shouldn't have gloated behind your back and said those things … I was actually joking … I really didn't want to grow any longer!" Yin Shixiong quickly expressed his loyalty. "I'm also worried that Nianzhi is messing with you like this! I treat her like my own sister! I … "
"So you think of yourself as my brother-in-law? No wonder you look down on me. " Huo Shaoheng didn't even raise his head as he spoke calmly. His tone wasn't inappropriate, but in Yin Shixiong's ears, it was so mocking that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground!
"How would I dare? If I can really become Huo Shao's brother-in-law, I'll wake up laughing even in my dreams! It's a pity that my mother only gave birth to me. Otherwise, I would have asked them to adopt one from the orphanage. I don't know if it's too late … "Yin Shixiong rambled on in front of Huo Shaoheng. He was afraid that Huo Shaoheng would punish him to the point where he wished he could reincarnate and start all over again.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him again. If you only have this much courage, don't even mention that you're part of the Special Operations Forces. You're still the deputy commander. I think you'll have to retire sooner or later. "
"Huo Shao, don't retreat! I'll definitely turn over a new leaf! I won't spout nonsense again! "Yin Shixiong said as he prepared to slap his own mouth again.
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand. "Alright, save some face for yourself."
By saying this, he was letting bygones be bygones.
Yin Shixiong had been with Huo Shaoheng for so many years, so he was very familiar with Huo Shaoheng's tone and way of speaking.
Hearing this, he secretly sighed in relief and didn't dare to act rashly again.
However, Ma Qiqi's text was handed over like a treasure. He didn't dare use it to "curry favor" anymore.
Huo Shaoheng only glanced at it before his eyes narrowed. "He Zhichu brought Ye Xuan back with him?"
"Yes, I heard from Ma Qiqi that they just arrived at the Imperial Capital International Airport." Yin Shixiong glanced at Huo Shaoheng and said carefully, "Our people are probably still guarding the customs. It will take some time to report it."
In short, it wasn't as fast as He Zhichu directly informing Ma Qiqi and then Ma Qiqi directly informing Yin Shixiong.
Huo Shaoheng grunted and typed on the keyboard for a while before asking nonchalantly, "… Nianzhi went to He Zhichu's place?"
Yin Shixiong didn't dare to tease him anymore and quickly said, "That's what Qiqi said. Also, with Nianzhi's personality, she can also do it. "
"If she went, then she went. It's not a big deal." Huo Shaoheng didn't seem to care at all. "He Zhichu just came back, so it's reasonable for her to go see the teacher."
Yin Shixiong was speechless.
"However, Ye Xuan is a more important person and is related to several cases. How about this, you go and see what he needs help with. " Huo Shaoheng finished assigning tasks to Yin Shixiong and saw that he was still standing in front of him. He raised his brow. "You're still not leaving?"
Yin Shixiong snapped back to reality and immediately saluted. "Yes, Chief!"
Yin Shixiong left Huo Shaoheng's office with his car keys.
When he passed by Zhao Liangze's office, he chased after him in surprise. "Big Xiong, what's wrong? Are you okay? "
Yin Shixiong waved his car keys and didn't look back. "I'm fine. I have a mission."
"Oh, then be careful." Zhao Liangze relaxed. It was good that he was fine.
…
Gu Yanran had been in a bad mood for the past few days and hadn't been sleeping well. When she couldn't sleep, she would eat.
Light cheesecake, heavy cheesecake, tiramisu, apple pie, pumpkin pie, blueberry muffin … She didn't reject any of them.
In just a few days, she had gained five pounds. The clothes that had fitted her so well in the past couldn't fit anymore.
Because she was so worried, she didn't even bother to look in the mirror.
So when the specific ringtone rang, she was so shocked that she almost lunged to grab the phone and swipe it open. She was afraid that the person would disappear without a trace again.
"How is it?! Did you take care of Ye Xuan?! "Gu Yanran asked anxiously.
The person on the other end sneered. "You still want to take care of Ye Xuan? Aren't you being too careless? "
Gu Yanran was also very tough. She had to be tough. If she didn't, she would really lose everything …
"Help me this time, and I won't look for you again. I mean what I say. " Gu Yanran forced herself to calm down. "If you don't help me, I can't guarantee that I won't expose you in my sleep one day."
The person on the other end seemed very shocked that Gu Yanran still dared to threaten her!
After a moment of silence, the voice from the phone suddenly became high-pitched. "Gu Yanran! You piece of trash! Why don't you go die! You still dare to threaten me?! Do you know that you've caused my death this time?! He Zhichu went to the United States! He personally went to the United States to bring Ye Xuan back! Who can fight him?! You've caused my death! I'm warning you, if you dare to drag me into this, I'll make your life a living hell! I mean what I say! If you don't believe me, I'll send you a few pictures and let you see what the people I've killed look like! "
Gu Yanran was so shocked that she took two steps back and stumbled to the sofa armrest to sit down. She could barely hold the phone with one hand.
"What did you say?! Lawyer He went to the United States?! He personally went to the United States?! When did that happen?! Why didn't I know?! "Gu Yanran hugged her head with both hands and was about to go hysterical." Why?! Why?! Why does everyone have to go against me?! They're all trying to force me to my death! "
"You didn't know?! You piece of trash! That's why you're completely standing aside and relying on me to help you?! Gu Yanran, you're just a piece of trash that can't be helped! Don't even think about the Gu fortune! Return it as soon as possible! "
Gu Yanran calmed down as soon as she heard about the fortune. She sneered. "Then you want to see Gu Nianzhi become the richest person in the world? She's just an orphan girl. Does she deserve that?! "
The person on the other end didn't speak again and seemed to be in deep thought. It was so quiet that it seemed like the phone had never existed and it was all a figment of her imagination.
Gu Yanran panicked and slapped the phone. "… Hello? Are you still there? Did you hear me? "
"I heard you. Stop tapping on the phone." The person on the other end was especially impatient. His attitude was completely different from when they first met.
Gu Yanran also felt very uncomfortable.
"Now that things have come to this, I can only help you this much." The person on the other end sighed. "Gu Yanran, I've never mistreated you all these years. You'd better behave yourself in the future. This is the last time I'm warning you. Don't reveal our relationship to anyone. Once someone finds out, Gu Yanran, you won't even be able to live, let alone enjoy wealth and glory. You know what I'm capable of. You know very well whether or not my words are threats. That's all I have to say. Think about it yourself. "
The call ended, and the beeping sound came from the other end.
Gu Yanran still held the phone in her hand and sat on the sofa in a daze. She watched the sunlight shine through the floor-to-ceiling windows and land on her feet.
The wheel patterns on the Indian hand-woven wool carpet were like swirls. She felt a little dizzy just looking at them.
…
Gu Nianzhi carried her laptop bag and waited for them downstairs at He Zhichu's professor's building.
She came early and waited for a full two hours.
Fortunately, Yin Shixiong also came and waited with her. The two of them chatted and laughed. Later, he called Ma Qiqi over, and the three of them played poker in the little pavilion in front of the building.
When it was almost dusk, she finally saw He Zhichu's flashy Maserati drive over.
