Hello, Mr. Major General

Gu Nianzhi, "..."

She didn't bring instant translation software on her, so she didn't know what Huo Shaoheng was talking about. However when she looked at the situation in the cockpit, she roughly understood that they had been tricked into coming in.

Gu Nianzhi was a little nervous.

Huo Shaoheng unfastened his seat belt, stood up from the co-pilot seat and calmly said, "Mr. Vladimir, you can speak with me whenever you want, have I ever said no? Why are you putting hundreds of lives at stake?"

"You are wrong." The co-pilot named Vladimir, who is also the second-in-command of the KGB, stood up from the captain's seat.

He replied in a solemn tone, "I put the lives of innocent people at stake."

Huo Shaoheng, "..."

"You don't believe me?" Vladimir walked up to him and the captain who had just "awakened," returned to his original position as well.

"I followed you onto the plane, but we also did encounter American weather warfare earlier. –They were coming for you. If it weren't for me, we would have all died on this flight today."

Vladimir stood in front of Huo Shaoheng with his chin held high, but still a head shorter.

However, his aura was very domineering despite his shorter height.

Huo Shaoheng clasped his hands and replied quietly, "Really? Do you think I would believe you?"

How can anyone with a working mouth not know how to lie?

"Haha, it's your choice to believe me or not. But Li Dexi died in your hands and the CIA already knows, so this is their revenge. It's a pity that their spies in the Huaxia Empire had been largely taken out, otherwise you two would have been killed off in the Huaixa Empire before you could even board the plane."

Vladimir made a throat cutting gesture with his hands.

Huo Shaoheng was finally slightly convinced.

This man truly deserved to be the second-in-command of the KGB, he even knew about Li Dexi...

Huo Shaoheng was not curious about how he knew, since Vladmir wouldn't tell the truth even if he asked.

But he understood very well that this news would never be leaked by his own people.

The only possible explanation was that Li Dexi left behind a contingency in Cape Town, so they were aware that Li Dexi was setting up a trap for Huo Shaoheng.

However, they received news of Li Dexi's death and hence speculated that got murdered instead of successfully killing his own target.

Of course, Li Dexi's colleagues and friends would never think that Li Dexi reaped what he sowed. Instead they would put all the blame on Huo Shaoheng.

They were hostile enemies anyway, so it made sense to hate Huo Shaoheng anyway.

Huo Shaoheng raised his eyebrows, "Then their actions can be considered quite swift. They knew that we are on the plane and were also able to launch 'weather warfare' mid-flight to murder us without leaving a trace."

Huo Shaoheng thought that it didn't sound right as soon as he finished speaking.

If he was the only one on the flight, then it made sense for the enemy to do such a thing.

But the key point was that Huo Shaoheng brought Gu Nianzhi along with him.

Li Dexi's group was so confident that they would capture Gu Nianzhi that Li Dexi forbade his men from Gu Nianzhi even during the extremely critical and dangerous moment in the bank basement in Cape Town.

Why did they want to take Gu Nianzhi's life now?

Didn't they know that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng boarded the flight together?

That was even more impossible.

Huo Shaoheng got on the plane with a disguised face, but Gu Nianzhi didn't disguise herself and appeared just as she was.

So the CIA knew that Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi had boarded the plane and tried to kill all the passengers with "weather warfare"?

It made no sense at all.

If this is the case, then Li Dexi died for nothing back there...

In a brief second, Huo Shaoheng had already analyzed the entire situation and even noted some contradictions.

Vladimir smiled and nodded, "That's natural. Li Dexi was the most powerful spy that the CIA planted in Europe. He was known as the "underground Tsar" of Europe, and was a mortal enemy to the KGB. I hated that strange and disturbing old man and had always prayed for his death. I only wished that he was sent to his God even sooner!"

As he spoke, he patted Huo Shaoheng on the shoulder vigorously, "Thank you for helping us get rid of him!"

Huo Shaoheng, "..."

Gu Nianzhi blinked, a little confused about the change in situation.

But she was finally relieved. It seemed that these people were not hostile towards them. What happened today was an accident within the inevitable.

She sighed quietly, tugged Huo Shaoheng's shirt and whispered, "I'm hungry and sleepy..."

Huo Shaoheng shook her hand and smiled at Vladimir, "Well, are you just going to express it verbally if you really want to thank me? "

"Huh? Are you asking for bribes?" Vladimir deliberately dug at his ears to indicate that he hadn't heard clearly. "Say that again? What do you want?"

"I want to..." Huo Shaoheng took Gu Nianzhi's hand and said with a smile, "Hurry up to serve us dinner now, my companion is about to collapse from hunger.. When we get to Moscow, we can take out time talking about some other benefits."

"Hahahaha..." Vladimir laughed with hands on his waist, "Don't even think about it! But I will make sure to give you all the food you want."

He beckoned at the female flight attendant and said kindly, "You can serve them dinner. Today's incident has ended, so you can tell the passengers everything is ok and ask them not to be afraid."

"Okay, Mr. Vladimir." The female flight attendant replied very sweetly, turning around and taking Gu Nianzhi away from the cockpit.

Back in her first-class seat, Gu Nianzhi felt like everything had been a dream.

She looked at Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng leaned over and whispered in her ear, "...Forget everything just now."

Gu Nianzhi nodded in embarrassment. She was an academic genius who instantly memorized everything she saw. It was not difficult for her to remember something, but it was too difficult for her to forget things. She cautiously replied, "...I will try my best. "

Huo Shaoheng smoothed her hair and smiled, "I was joking, you don't be too nervous. Everything is okay."

Gu Nianzhi, "..."

Huo Shaoheng leaned over and hugged her, "Eat well, then get sleep. We will arrive tomorrow."

Gu Nianzhi's thoughts were immediately fascinated by the food served on Aeroflot. "What kind of good food do they have?"

"You'll know soon enough."

Soon afterwards, the female flight attendant pushed a dining car for the two of them and put the exquisite food on the small table in front of them.

The first course was a small plate of pre-dinner dim sum–an exquisite steamed shrimp dumpling and a small fried chicken wonton dipped in egg powder.

Gu Nianzhi was hungry, and ate these two small and exquisite snacks in two quick bites. Then she watched the female flight attendant continue to serve her food.

Next came the cold dishes–tender smoked salmon, two boiled prawns dipped in caviar paired with two slices of pickled duck breast, a piece of lotus root with osmanthus and glutinous rice, as well as a small bowl of vermicelli, lettuce and sweet bell pepper.

Gu Nianzhi laughed, thinking that the fighting nation had finally changed its typically brash nature and turned out to be so generous...

She picked up the knife and fork, and began to enjoy the delicious boiled shrimp dipped in caviar, served with pickled duck breast. It was especially delicious.

The lotus root with osmanthus and glutinous rice was lackluster in comparison, but perhaps it was because this was an airplane meal. It was not as delicious as ones served at restaurants, but it was not bad.

Gu Nianzhi didn't like salmon, so she put it all onto Huo Shaoheng's plate.

Huo Shaoheng doesn't care and accepted it all.

After eating the cold dishes, the flight attendant served them a large plate of grilled chicken breast mixed with lettuce salad, along the shredded carrot that Gu Nianzhi hated.

She subconsciously wanted to pick out the shredded carrot and give them to Huo Shaoheng, but his gaze swept over her and she forcibly swallowed the carrot with silent tears.

After eating this large plate of grilled chicken breast, lettuce and shredded carrot salad, Gu Nianzhi was already full and couldn eat anymore. However, the flight attendant gave her a bowl of corn and seafood chowder.

Gu Nianzhi, "..."

After a slight sniff, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help drinking another half bowl of the corn soup that had the sweetness of a natural milkshake.

Huo Shaoheng silently poured her remaining half bowl of corn seafood soup into his own bowl.

This tiny bit of food was not enough for his appetite,

Gu Nianzhi was laid limp in her seat and was about to say that she was going to sleep. The female flight attendant then put another plate in front of her like she was performing a magic trick and said with a smile: "This is the main course, please take your time enjoying it. After you finish it, I will serve you dessert."

Gu Nianzhi, "..."

Damn it!

She ate so much before, but they were all snacks?!

She looked down at the so-called main food. It didn't look like a big portion, but there were many kinds of dishes.

There was a small bowl of egg fried rice with grilled swordfish slices. The vegetable dish was eggplant with colorful peppers, and served with a slightly sweet and sour sauce. It tasted a bit like Chinese spicy eggplant.

Gu Nianzhi liked the Russian version of spicy eggplant very much and couldn't help but eat all the eggplant before giving the rest to Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng frowned, "You didn't eat the rice."

She only ate all the side dishes.

"I am saving my stomach for dessert." Gu Nianzhi took a sip of the juice and beckoned at the female flight attendant for dessert.

The flight attendant smiled and put a glass of mango, vanilla and raisin ice cream in front of her, then carefully poured wildberry jam over it, "Today's dinner has been served, please enjoy."

At the end, Gu Nianzhi couldn't finish the cup of ice cream.

She almost fell asleep on the dining table halfway through eating dessert.

Huo Shaoheng put her dining tray away, put down her seat and let her lie down to sleep comfortably.

Turning on his computer, he started sorting out today's situation.

He worked all night and only took a short nap as the flight was approaching Moscow.

Gu Nianzhi had slept the entire way and only woke up when they were about to reach Moscow. She was in a very good spirit.

"Alex, wake up. We are almost there." Gu Nianzhi nudged Huo Shaoheng, "You have to get up and fasten your seat belt."

Passengers must wear seat belts when the plane is taking off or landing.

Huo Shaoheng sat up with his eyes closed. As soon as he buckled his seat belt, he felt the plane suddenly descend.

The speed of descent was so fast that he almost felt weightless.

Gu Nianzhi's ears buzzed and the pain was so intense she couldn't even speak.

Huo Shaoheng noticed her discomfort, so pulled her into his arms and reached. out his hand to pinch her jaw. He coaxed her in a quiet voice, "...Be good, open your mouth. Yes, open your mouth to breathe."

This way, the air pressure inside and outside her ears was balanced and reduced the pain in her ears.
