Huo Shaoheng stood in the middle of the living room of He Zhichu's suite and glanced around the entire room.
Yin Shixiong stood behind him and had just closed the door when he saw He Zhichu walk out from the hallway to the bedroom.
He had changed into khaki casual pants and a gray pinstriped shirt. The collar was slightly open and revealed a hint of his exquisite collarbone. He looked solemn and bright.
He had just washed his face and his hair was a bit wet. His expression was cold as usual, but when he saw Gu Nianzhi walk out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee, his eyes lit up and his expression brightened.
Gu Nianzhi looked up to see He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng standing face to face in the middle of the living room.
Huo Shaoheng was wearing a general's uniform: navy straight tube wool trousers and a brown and brown woolen military jacket.
The general's regular uniform was made of wool and had a small lapel that looked as if it had been cut with a knife. It just happened to reveal the first button of the shirt inside. The buttons on the white shirt were tightly buttoned all the way to the top, just below his Adam's apple.
Just like that, he stood ramrod straight in the middle of the living room. He was tall and slender, towering and imposing. His deeply handsome face was not as cold and indifferent as He Zhichu's, but it was not as warm and lively either. He had his usual calm and collected demeanor of a general.
"I don't know what brings you here, Major General Huo … Your presence brings light to my humble abode." He Zhichu nodded slightly in acknowledgment and turned to Gu Nianzhi. "Why are you standing there? Bring out the coffee and snacks for the guests. "
Gu Nianzhi replied, "Oh." She carried the tray and bent down to put the black coffee and muffins on the coffee table in front of the seat Yin Shixiong had been sitting at.
The cappuccino and honey cake were for Ma Qiqi. Ye Xuan made a cup of green tea with some glutinous rice and green tea dumplings. Gu Nianzhi made herself a cup of milk tea.
Huo Shaoheng came later and didn't have time to prepare drinks for him.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at him.
Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and nodded to He Zhichu. "Big Xiong left and didn't come back. I didn't know what happened and was worried about his safety, so I came to see."
Yin Shixiong was so embarrassed he wanted to crawl into a hole.
Huo Shao, you're so concerned about me, I can't take it anymore …
However, he didn't dare to continue acting presumptuously in front of Huo Shaoheng, so he could only pretend to cooperate. He lowered his head and walked to Huo Shaoheng to admit his mistake. "Huo Shao, it's my fault. I was playing cards with Qiqi and Nianzhi and forgot the time. I didn't call you back in time."
Huo Shaoheng grunted, "Just this once." He then turned to look at Gu Nianzhi and said, "Don't drink milk tea at night. It will affect your sleep." He then asked her, "Have you had dinner?"
Gu Nianzhi waited for He Zhichu and Ye Xuan the entire afternoon. Because she was very excited, she didn't feel hungry.
But now that the excitement had passed, he was a little hungry.
She glanced at He Zhichu. "Professor He, do you want to go out for dinner?"
Before He Zhichu could respond, Huo Shaoheng immediately said, "So you haven't eaten yet. How about this? A chance encounter is better than an invitation. Today, I'll be the host and treat Professor He and Ye Xuan to a meal. What do you two think? "She then said," Big Xiong and Qiqi, is it convenient for you guys? "
"Sure, sure." Ma Qiqi was enjoying the show from the side. How could she let go of such a great opportunity? She quickly nodded in agreement.
Yin Shixiong didn't even have time to object. He gloomily glared at Ma Qiqi. He only felt that his wife only knew how to hold him back. His eyes were full of resentment.
Ma Qiqi pretended not to see him and tugged on Gu Nianzhi's sleeve. "Nianzhi, what about you?"
Gu Nianzhi felt a bit of a headache.
She had something to ask Ye Xuan and didn't want to go out to eat.
He Zhichu looked at her expression and understood. "I called for takeout. If Major General Huo would do me the honor, we can eat here."
Huo Shaoheng sat down and reached out to pull Gu Nianzhi to sit beside him. "Since Professor He is treating, I'll have to trouble you." He quickly turned the tables on Yin Shixiong, Ma Qiqi, and Ye Xuan. "Sit. What are you standing for? Professor He is about to go order. "As he spoke, he even gestured to He Zhichu to order.
The corners of He Zhichu's mouth twitched. He was so angry that his body stiffened. He walked into the bedroom and picked up the phone. He randomly dialed a five-star hotel and ordered takeout to be delivered within half an hour.
Because there were quite a lot of people, He Zhichu ordered a seventeen-dish set meal from the hotel.
Coming out of the bedroom, he sat directly on the sofa next to Gu Nianzhi. He took the milk tea she had just made from the coffee table in front of her and took a sip.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Huo Shaoheng sat on the other side of Gu Nianzhi. He was tall, and the sofa on his side sunk deeply. Gu Nianzhi was trying her best to stabilize her body so she didn't fall over like last time.
However, as soon as He Zhichu sat down, she immediately regained her balance.
Because the sofa on both sides of her sunk, she was able to sit up straight in the middle.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him coldly and ignored He Zhichu's provocative look. He leaned forward slightly and asked Ye Xuan, who was sitting across from him, "Mr. Ye, I heard something happened during your trip to the United States this time?"
"Just call me Ye Xuan." Ye Xuan felt very uncomfortable when Huo Shaoheng called him "Mr. Ye."
This was also the question Gu Nianzhi had been waiting all afternoon to ask, so she quickly said, "Ye Xuan, tell us what happened in the United States. Did the attack on Admiral Laris have anything to do with you guys? "
Ye Xuan hated this the most when he talked about it. He was even angrier than when he was treated as a suspect in the Vanderbilt family's murder case.
"That Laris is too despicable! Did you know? He actually directed and acted on his own. First, he had people throw bombs at his convoy to create panic. Then he used the excuse of arresting 'terrorists' to start searching for us everywhere. He even blew up the car Mr. He and I were in! That's ridiculous! How is that arresting terrorists?! He's obviously selling dog meat! "Ye Xuan was so angry that he slammed the table and almost knocked over his tea.
Gu Nianzhi covered her chest with one hand and gasped. "He really did that?! He's a US Army General?! What's in it for the United States? "
"He's a US Army General, but he's a Japanese US Army General," Huo Shaoheng said calmly. He reached out and gently patted the back of Gu Nianzhi's hand to calm her down. "This person's actions in the South China Sea were all detrimental to the long-term interests of the United States, but they were beneficial to Japan's national interests."
"Haha …" Gu Nianzhi laughed and discreetly pulled her hand out of Huo Shaoheng's grasp. She said mockingly, "This is the saying, 'His heart is in the enemy's camp.' Japan should give him the 'Good Citizen of Japan' award."
"Yes, I just don't know … how could those people mobilize such high-level people to deal with a small pawn like me?" Ye Xuan shook his head and wiped his face with lingering fear. He picked up his teacup and took a sip to calm his nervous emotions.
Setting down his teacup, Ye Xuan saw He Zhichu's cool and aloof expression and had a look of admiration. "However, it's a good thing Mr. He went. I don't need to say much about Mr. He's grace in court. I originally thought that such a small, insignificant case didn't need Mr. He's help. Later, I realized that it wasn't the case that needed Mr. He, but Mr. He was the only one who could take me out of the United States safely. "
Gu Nianzhi became even more interested. She said repeatedly, "Tell me, tell me, how is Professor He so powerful?! Did he make the other party's life a living hell in court?! "
"That goes without saying!" Ye Xuan wiped the hair hanging down his forehead and beamed with joy. "But I admire Mr. He's skills even more. Nianzhi, did you know that Mr. He's skills are incredible? I think he's even better than those Special Forces soldiers and professionals! He jumped up from the ground in the valley, flew diagonally in the air, and fired his gun in the air. It was so cool! "
Gu Nianzhi's already large eyes widened even more. She turned to look at He Zhichu and looked him up and down as if she had never seen him before. She exclaimed, "Is that true? Professor He, when did you learn to do that?! "
Unlike Huo Shaoheng, Gu Nianzhi had never seen He Zhichu train, nor had she seen him run cross-country obstacle courses or use all kinds of combat skills.
So looking at the refreshing and handsome He Zhichu in front of her, Gu Nianzhi found it hard to connect him with the heroic image of flying diagonally in the air that Ye Xuan had just described.
He Zhichu looked down at her for a while and suddenly leaned over to whisper in her ear, "… You want to see me shoot?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Gu Nianzhi's eyes were about to sparkle with adoration.
Huo Shaoheng frowned slightly and reached out to grab the back of Gu Nianzhi's neck. He turned her neck to face Ye Xuan. "Ye Xuan hasn't finished speaking yet. You can't rudely look away."
He Zhichu's expression darkened as he reached out to push Huo Shaoheng's hand away. He said coldly, "Major General Huo, I hope you won't touch Nianzhi. You're in public, and you'll trouble her very much. "
Huo Shaoheng retracted his hand and raised his chin slightly to glance at him. He said dryly, "Same to you."
Ma Qiqi was sitting on the sofa across from Gu Nianzhi. Her eyes lit up as she watched the scene unfold. She wanted nothing more than to take a photo with her phone.
Now it was Gu Nianzhi's turn to stiffen. She gritted her teeth and glared at Ma Qiqi, who was watching the show, before turning back to Ye Xuan. Looking him up and down, she asked, "Ye Xuan, what happened after that? How did you guys escape? "
The enemy had mobilized a Japanese American general as cover, so it wouldn't have been easy to escape, right?
Ye Xuan looked at He Zhichu and smiled. "Mr. He had a way."
He gestured. "Mr. He had a very powerful gun. One shot could cut off the internet, electricity, and communications, so it bought us a valuable night."
He Zhichu closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He had forgotten to tell the kid to keep his mouth shut …
As expected, Gu Nianzhi became even more interested. However, this time she was on guard. She protected her neck to prevent Huo Shaoheng from continuing to strangle her as she asked He Zhichu, "Professor He, what kind of gun is so powerful?! Is it true?! "
