Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1665: Who Knows What He Went Through

Gu Nianzhi had a guilty conscience. She had said the wrong thing earlier, but now that Lu Yuan had said this, she immediately pretended not to care and shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe he's been rejected so much that he has become disheartened."

At that moment, her phone rang. It was He Chengjian calling again. The person who had come to pick her up was already waiting for her at the entrance of the residential area.

Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "I'll be right out."

She turned around and waved at Lu Jin and Lu Yuan. "Dad, President Lu, wait for my call. I'll call you when I get to Young Master He's place."

Lu Yuan stood up at that moment and said with a frown, "Nianzhi, let me go with you."

Lu Jin had wanted to say the same thing, but when Lu Yuan said it, Lu Jin felt that it was better than going with him.

Not only did Lu Yuan not have any identity issues, but he was also very skilled. His combat abilities didn't pale in comparison to those of the KGB.

Lu Jin felt that although he was smarter than Lu Yuan, he was no match against him in a fight.

Therefore, he quickly nodded and said, "Nianzhi, let boss Lu go with you. You're going to the He family's house, and it's because He Zhichu is sick. I'm a little worried."

He even winked at Gu Nianzhi and said, "Nianzhi, President Lu's skills are really good. He's even better than that Peter!"

Gu Nianzhi had reservations about Lu Yuan, and she was quite afraid of Lu Yuan's observant gaze that made her feel as if all her thoughts were exposed in front of him.

However, since Lu Jin had said so, Gu Nianzhi couldn't refute him directly. She rolled her eyes and said, "That won't be good, right? If General He finds out that I live close to President Lu, General He will find out about your identity sooner or later. It's better not to take the risk."

She waved her hands. "General Lu, I know you're worried about me, but now that General He has captured Qin Yaoguang and Old Master Qin, the Qin family is without a leader. They don't have time to go against me right now. I can go alone."

"Besides, General He sent someone to pick me up personally. He even made the call himself. What are you guys worried about?"

Once Gu Nianzhi started arguing, her silvery-tongue was unrivaled.

She held her small and red Hermes bag and changed her shoes at the entrance. She said, "No matter how powerful President Lu is, he's only one person. General He has the entire country behind him. If General He can't even guard against that person, what can General He Lu do?"

She was making a lot of sense. Lu Yuan and Lu Jin looked at each other, and they were speechless.

Lu Yuan watched Gu Nianzhi's back disappear into the elevator opposite the main door. He smiled bitterly and said, "Lu Jin, your daughter is amazing. She even dissed me."

"How did she diss you?" Lu Jin crossed his legs in delight. "She was just acting normally. If she really were to diss you, you would probably be so ashamed that you'd be looking for a rope to hang yourself!"

"I wasn't complimenting her." Lu Yuan stopped smiling and looked towards the door again. He was wondering if he should change into another outfit to follow Gu Nianzhi when his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was from Huo Shaoheng. He immediately put it out and sent a text message.

It was still a question mark.

Huo Shaoheng saw that Lu Yuan wasn't picking up and knew that it wasn't convenient for him, so he replied with a question mark too.

Lu Yuan: "…"

He held his phone and turned to Lu Jin. "I'm going back to my room. You should rest early."

"Okay, I'll be done soon." Lu Jin was nervously programming.

Qin Yaoguang and Old Master Qin were both captured and imprisoned by General He, so the Qin Corporation's Private Hospital would definitely be in a mess.

This was the best time for him to show off his hacker skills.

It would definitely be much easier to attack the Qin Corporation's Private Hospital's network system than before.

It was now or never. He had to seize this opportunity.

..

Lu Yuan hurried back to his apartment across the street and closed the door before returning Huo Shaoheng's call.

"What have you been doing for the past few days? Haven't you contacted Nianzhi?"

Huo Shaoheng's internal organs had been severely shaken by the explosion. Although because of his strong physique, it hadn't caused irreparable damage, he was still only human. After sleeping on the bed, he was so tired that he couldn't get up the next day.

The human body was such a marvelous thing.

When one was nervous, one's body could withstand any amount of pressure.

However, once one rested, one was like a spring that had been pulled to its limit. It relaxed all of a sudden, and the rebound was especially severe.

Huo Shaoheng had basically been in a deep sleep for the past two days. Because he had slept too soundly in the middle, his colleagues had even called for a doctor. After confirming that he was fine, they had given him an glucose infusion to prevent him from getting dehydrated during his sleep.

This time, he had slept for almost two days and one night, and had just woken up.

Sitting alone on the bed, he looked at the IV drip on his arm and found it funny.

He picked up the phone under his pillow and looked at it. He found that Lu Yuan was the only one who had sent him a text message.

There was no content. There was only a question mark, and it had just been sent not that long ago.

Gu Nianzhi, on the other hand, hadn't even sent him a text message in the past two days, let alone a phone call.

What a heartless little girl…

Huo Shaoheng's lips curled up slightly. Wanting to ask how Gu Nianzhi was doing, he picked up his phone and called Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan hung up on him and sent him another question mark.

Huo Shaoheng sensed that something had happened.

He removed the IV drip and got out of bed. He walked to the bathroom and answered Lu Yuan's call.

He said, "I've been resting for the past two days. I was so tired that I've been sleeping and I didn't go anywhere or do anything."

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then he immediately asked, "Are you sure you're not injured? Nianzhi said that you're amazing and that you won't get hurt. Why does that sound so unconvincing to me?"

Huo Shaoheng smiled, but then he quickly frowned and said, "…She said that?"

Could this be the reason why she didn't call him?

This girl really had big ideas. Once she decided that he wasn't the person in her heart, she immediately kept her distance. There was simply no chance for him at all.

Huo Shaoheng thought, if he wasn't the Huo Shaoheng from the other side but the counterpart on this side, with Gu Nianzhi's attitude towards him, he definitely wouldn't pester her like he was now.

But because of this, Huo Shaoheng felt a subtle sense of joy.

But this feeling flashed through his mind quickly and didn't linger.

He had already gone to the bathroom and was about to take a shower.

Lu Yuan heard the sound of water coming from the shower and said, "You're taking a shower? Did you just wake up?"

Huo Shaoheng replied with an "mhm." "What do you want to talk about? Go ahead."

Lu Yuan quickly recounted what had happened to He Zhichu today, and then said, "Nianzhi has already gone out. He Chengjian sent someone to pick her up. She's going to the He family to check on Young Master He's condition."

Huo Shaoheng froze when he heard that.

After a long while, he punched the sink hard and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "… He Chengjian, that old fox!"

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan frowned. "Is there something wrong with He Chengjian? Don't worry, he won't do anything to Nianzhi."

"Are you sure?" Huo Shaoheng's eyes were cold and stern. "He wants to keep Nianzhi in his house. If He Zhichu needs Nianzhi, whether it's a relapse or a new illness, Nianzhi will be his ready-made medicine!"

Lu Yuan was shocked. "You're saying He Chengjian actually has this idea?!"

"What other idea could he have?" Huo Shaoheng asked firmly. He threw the towel in his hand onto the ground. "He asked Nianzhi to represent him as a foul-proof tactic. Did you really think that with his status, He Chengjian would need to fight the Qin family face-to-face in a lawsuit? It would have been fine if the Qin family hadn't provoked him, but now, if they provoked him, he could destroy the Qin family as long as he wanted to! Crushing Wen Shouyi would be like crushing an ant!"

Lu Yuan was silent for a long time. He asked in confusion, "Why are you so sure? I've been here for more than ten years. Why don't I feel…"

"President Lu, you actually don't know much about He Chengjian these years because your social circles don't intersect much, but I'm different. When I was there, I already fought with him."

Huo Shaoheng said bluntly, and he remembered He Chengjian's arrogant ways.

He had been able to create a weather weapon like a hurricane even though they were separated by a world's boundary. He had remotely controlled Rihe City's surface-to-air missiles to point at the rostrum, sent special forces to kidnap Gu Nianzhi, and shot Xiao Ye ten times in a row, completely ruining her military career.

When he came over, Xiao Ye was still recovering in the hospital.

When he first appeared here as a KGB official, he had tried every possible means to test him. Later on, he would even rather kill the wrong person than let him go, and arranged for the assassination attempt that almost took Gu Nianzhi's life.

Huo Shaoheng didn't think that such a ruthless person would go through the legal procedures when dealing with the Qin family.

He walked around the bathroom restlessly. He put his phone on speaker and left it on the sink. He even forgot to take off his pajamas and stood under the shower.

His clothes were wet and stuck tightly to his body, revealing the shape of his muscular eight-pack abs.

His long legs containing unlimited explosive power were straight and strong.

He propped one hand on the mosaic in the shower and allowed the cold water to pour over his head to calm him down. He nervously thought about what he should do to save Gu Nianzhi from He Chengjian's "confinement".

Lu Yuan didn't speak either.

After a while, Huo Shaoheng finished showering and turned off the shower. Lu Yuan's voice came from the phone.

"… if that's the case, then you should go look for Nianzhi. However, I still think the key is he. As long as he is fine, Nianzhi will be fine."

Huo Shaoheng sneered. "Yes, as long as He Zhichu is fine, Nianzhi will be fine, but you said He Zhichu is unconscious now. Who knows what he went through in that ward? Who knows when he will wake up!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath. "It's my fault. I should have stopped Nianzhi from going."

Huo Shaoheng felt bad about what Lu Yuan said.

He wiped his hair with a clean white towel and walked out of the bathroom, then said, "You weren't wrong either. Who could have stopped He Chengjian if he wanted her to go? You were already cautious enough to call me. Besides, this whole thing started because someone had set up a trap, so now that there might be a trap. I have to think about it. Oh right, where's Uncle Lu? Does he know that Nianzhi is in a precarious situation?"

"He doesn't know." Lu Yuan continued to smile wryly. "He's still busy coding."

Huo Shaoheng wasn't surprised. He took out his bluetooth headset and put it on. He changed his clothes and said to Lu Yuan, "I'm going to the He family to look for Nianzhi. Please wait for my news."
