Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1653: Routine Operation

Gu Nianzhi saw He Zhichu suddenly look at Huo Shaoheng and looked between them curiously. "Young Master He, what's wrong?"

He Zhichu retracted his gaze and said coldly, "This time, the situation is serious. Many people died in the Qin family, and Old Master Qin was seriously injured and hospitalized. I'm thinking of how to explain this to the Senate and the people."

Gu Nianzhi's heart sank. She looked at He Zhichu and said, "I have something to say. Can we find a convenient place?"

"I'll take you to my house." He Zhichu also had a lot to ask her. Now, they were on a helicopter, so it wasn't a good place to talk.

They didn't speak anymore. The sound of the plane's engine rang in their ears, making them even more annoyed.

Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and played with her phone. She quietly sent Lu Jin and Lu Yuan two messages saying, "All is well, so don't be worried."

The two of them drove away from the small road near the revolving restaurant.

Traffic control had already begun, so they couldn't get in.

..

Soon, He Zhichu's helicopter landed on the helipad of the He family's mansion. He Zhichu, Gu Nianzhi, and Huo Shaoheng were put down.

The Wu Zhi Squadron was led back to the base by the captain.

He Zhichu led Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng through the deserted lawn in front of the He family's mansion. They strode towards the three-story mansion in the main house.

HeChengjian was about to go out for an emergency meeting.

He was dressed in a neat military uniform with a military cap in his hand. He walked out of the main door with his personal secretary and orderly. He was slightly surprised to see He Zhichu walking over with Gu Nianzhi and the Ace of the Far East, Peter Huo Shaoheng.

He stopped in his tracks and smiled warmly. "Nianzhi is here? Are you okay?"

It looked like he already knew about Gu Nianzhi's accident at the revolving restaurant.

He Zhichu had started to interact with other girls and seemed to have given up on Gu Nianzhi, therefore He Chengjian was no longer so averse to Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi also stopped in her tracks and said politely yet distantly, "Thank you for your concern, General He. I'm fine. I was just scared."

"How can you be fine?" He Zhichu snorted. "You only know how to report good news but not the bad news. I need to call the doctor to examine you."

Gu Nianzhi snapped out of her reverie. She knew He Zhichu was doing this for her own good. She smiled sheepishly and mumbled, "It's just a superficial wound, and I'm not feeling well. He Zhichu, don't make a big deal out of nothing."

He Chengjian chuckled and said, "Nianzhi, Ah-Chu said he treats you like a sister, so he will treat you like a real sister. Don't stand on ceremony with him."

He frowned again. "It might not be safe outside these two days, so you can stay with us for a few days."

Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed. She said noncommittally, "General He is being too polite. Do you have business to attend to? We won't keep you."

He Chengjian was indeed in a hurry. He smiled and nodded at Huo Shaoheng. "Mr. Peter, please excuse me."

"You can go attend to your business. Young Master He will take care of us," Huo Shaoheng said with a straight face.

He Chengjian stopped chatting with them and got into his private car. He rushed to the military, the Senate, and the Cabinet for an emergency meeting. The main topic was to discuss the vicious case at the revolving restaurant on the Sanhuan Road of the imperial capital.

This case had a huge impact on society. It spread all over the country almost at the same time, and its impact was extremely bad.

..

In the He family's mansion, He Zhichu brought Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng to the bedroom where Gu Nianzhi used to live.

Everything inside was exactly the same as when Gu Nianzhi lived here.

Gu Nianzhi was a little embarrassed, but He Zhichu waved at them to sit down and said, "What would you like to drink? Let's talk while we drink."

Gu Nianzhi subconsciously said, "I'd like a glass of warm milk."

Warm milk had an excellent calming effect.

When she had insomnia at night, she would have a glass of warm milk and a few biscuits. She would quickly fall asleep after eating.

At this time, Gu Nianzhi needed warm milk to calm herself down.

He Zhichu saw that she was a little nervous and asked suspiciously, "Are you really injured? You can't not see a doctor."

"No." Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng beside her and said worriedly, "But Mr. Peter seems to be injured. He should get a doctor to take a look at him."

Huo Shaoheng shook his head. "I'll go back to the embassy to see our doctor. It's just a superficial injury."

He Zhichu saw that Huo Shaoheng's complexion was rosy and natural. He didn't look tired or pale after the injury, so he believed him.

Gu Nianzhi tried her best not to pay too much attention to Huo Shaoheng.

The important thing was emphasized three times: He was Peter, he was Peter, he was Peter.

Gu Nianzhi was constantly mentally preparing herself.

He Zhichu quickly brought the warm milk over.

Gu Nianzhi had a cup of warm milk and two blueberry muffins.

Huo Shaoheng had a cup of Colombian black coffee, and He Zhichu had his usual red wine.

For him, the best sedative was red wine.

They lowered their heads and drank at the same time.

After drinking half a cup of warm milk, Gu Nianzhi thought she had calmed down. However, when she mentioned Luo Piaopiao's condition, her voice still trembled.

"… I didn't know what was going on at the time. I was in the bathroom fixing her hair when a call suddenly came in. She held the phone and turned up the volume like it was on speakerphone. I heard the countdown on the phone with my own ears."

"Countdown?"

"Yes, ten, nine, eight, seven… like this." Beads of sweat appeared on Gu Nianzhi's forehead and she wiped it gently with the back of her hand.

He Zhichu saw this and handed her the tissue box on the coffee table.

Gu Nianzhi took it, took out a tissue, and pressed it on her forehead. She continued, "Then I felt something was wrong and immediately turned to run. Mr. Peter happened to be outside the door, and he shielded me. There was already an explosion inside, and I don't even know what Luo Piaopiao looks like…"

Gu Nianzhi was on the verge of tears when she said the last sentence.

She sobbed and took out a tissue to wipe her tears.

He Zhichu was extremely shocked. "They used a phone remote-controlled bomb?!"

Huo Shaoheng nodded calmly. "The explosive they used was the most powerful C-X series explosive. One milligram could blow up an elephant into ashes. So Luo Piaopiao must have been turned into ashes in an instant."

He Zhichu's almond-shaped flashed again. "C-X series explosives? If I remember correctly, this is the KGB's specialty."

"Yes, or else I wouldn't have sensed that something was wrong and pulled Miss Gu away." Huo Shaoheng shrugged, "They even placed explosives in the fire escape, but the explosives in the fire escape were only TNT. They weren't as powerful as the C-X series. Their goal was probably to cause a fire and block the fire escape."

He Zhichu drank a mouthful of red wine thoughtfully. He stood up and walked to the window. He said coldly, "If the other party used C-X series explosives in the fire escape, none of you would have survived."

"C-X series explosives are expensive and costly. There has always been a saying that 'every inch of C-X is worth an inch of gold'. Furthermore, the preparation is very complicated. The technical requirements and environmental requirements for the laboratory and workshop are top-notch." Huo Shaoheng straightened his long legs. Rubbing his knees, he said nonchalantly, "… it's not something an ordinary person can get."

He Zhichu was silent for a long while. He turned to look at Huo Shaoheng and said lightly, "But to the KGB, it's just a routine operation."

Gu Nianzhi suddenly had a bad feeling. "Young Master He, what do you mean?!"
