Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 1523
Chapter 1523: The Ace of the Far East
This was outrageous. Even He Zhichu dared to make fun of her.
He Zhichu bared his white teeth. “You want me to buy you an orange? I’ve planted an orange grove. Do you want it?”
Gu Nianzhi giggled and appeared to be in a good mood. “I’m just reminding you that I don’t like oranges.”
He Zhichu took his phone and sent a GPS location to Gu Nianzhi. “Receive.”
Gu Nianzhi pressed “receive” and He Zhichu could see where she was.
Fortunately, she wasn’t far from him.
He Zhichu went against the flow of the crowd at Disneyland and soon saw Gu Nianzhi.
She was carrying a backpack and wearing a pair of large sunglasses. Her navy Juicy Couture black stripped casual sports outfit accentuated her beautiful figure.
Gu Nianzhi turned to He Zhichu.
The setting sun outlined her breathtaking curves. She turned to look at him and smiled lazily. She pushed her sunglasses up above her head. Her dark jade-like eyes were filled with a warm smile, and the corners of her lips curled up into a happy smile.
He Zhichu’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he slowly swallowed the excitement in his heart.
He strode over with long strides.
“Nianzhi!” His voice was slightly emotional as he walked over and hugged her in his arms, as if he was holding a treasure that had been lost and recovered.
Gu Nianzhi was pressed against his chest. She couldn’t help laughing when she heard that his heart was beating much faster than usual. “What happened? Did you run off to buy oranges?”
“You’re being naughty again.” He Zhichu grabbed the back of her neck with one hand and suddenly lowered his head to kiss her.
Gu Nianzhi was shocked. She quickly tilted her head and dodged him.
He Zhichu’s kiss landed on her cheek.
His lips were burning and trembling, and holding her tightly, his arms were stronger than before.
A strong smell of alcohol assaulted her nose.
“Young Master He, what are you doing? Have you been drinking? !” Gu Nianzhi was shocked and angry, but she couldn’t move her head. He Zhichu’s strength was actually no weaker than Huo Shaoheng’s.
Just now, he had only held the back of her neck without using any strength, so Gu Nianzhi had used some strength to avoid his kiss.
“I drank a little,” He Zhichu said vaguely.
His palm subconsciously tightened, and Gu Nianzhi couldn’t move anymore.
He Zhichu lowered his head, and was very close to her face. He was so close that she could feel his breath, which carried a chill, on her lips.
He looked at her without saying a word. His eyes were burning with passion that had never been seen before. It was as if the boiling lava at the foot of the volcano could no longer be hidden and was looking for an opening to gush out.
Just like that, he looked at her and got closer and closer to her.
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened. There were a myriad of emotions flowing in her clear black and white eyes. From surprise, to anger, from rage, to panic, from certainty, to trembling. There was nothing like what he wanted… excitement and joy.
He Zhichu’s cold and thin lips stopped in front of her plump lips.
There was only a little distance before he be able to kiss her.
“Close your eyes.” He Zhichu realized that he couldn’t continue this kiss in front of those big eyes that were glaring at him.
“No!” Gu Nianzhi refused. “Young Master He, don’t do this… you said you wouldn’t force me.”
She didn’t know what she had done to provoke him.
He Zhichu touched her cheek and felt her silky smooth skin. He whispered in her ear, “… What if I insist on forcing you?”
The corners of Gu Nianzhi’s eyes twitched. She was nervous and scared, but she tried her best to act as if nothing had happened. “Young Master He, calm down. I’ve always treated you like a big brother…”
He Zhichu closed his eyes. He could feel that the body he was hugging had no warmth or feelings for him.
He didn’t know how long he would have to wait until she fell in love with him…
He Zhichu slowly let go of Gu Nianzhi. He looked up and gently stroked her long hair. His voice was cold again. “I’m not your older brother, so don’t treat me like one.”
“But you promised to be my brother when you were there.” Gu Nianzhi broke free from his shackles and quickly distanced herself from him. “Are you going back on your word?”
He Zhichu took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.
Was he rushing things again?
His actions these past few days, where he was constantly on the brink of death, had made him a little impatient.
He was worried that he wouldn’t have the time to wait for her to fall in love with him.
What would he do if she treated him like a brother forever?
His eyes full of affection, He Zhichu looked up at her. However, she averted his gaze and turned to look in the direction of the door. She said, “The door is about to close. I want to go back.”
He Zhichu walked over and held her hand. “Let’s go. I’ll send you back to the hotel.”
“I can leave on my own.” Gu Nianzhi pushed his hand away and frowned. She had been in a good mood all day, but now she was very unhappy.
He Zhichu looked at her for a while and finally gave in again. He raised his hands. “Okay, it’s my fault. I’m sorry, I drank too much today.”
Gu Nianzhi had already smelled the alcohol all over him. She fanned herself in front of him and said unhappily, “So what if you’re drunk? If you continue like this, I’m going to cut ties with you!”
“When Qin Zhining called me, I was having dinner with… a friend and had a little wine.” He Zhichu was actually having a celebratory drink with the members of his own team.
Yesterday’s mission had been successfully completed, and they hadn’t revealed the slightest flaw.
Now, the CIA’s office in H City was in a mess.
The four dead henchmen had become a hot potato.
Call the police? The police wanted to search their office because these people had “died” at the door of their office.
There was no need to call the police. The bodies of these people had been taken by someone with good intentions and posted on Twitter.
Since the era of the media, it was impossible for the foreign media to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Everyone was happy and gathered together to drink wine.
They drank the white and red beer and easily got drunk.
He Zhichu had a good tolerance for alcohol, but he wanted to get drunk when he saw Gu Nianzhi.
It was a pity that she didn’t reciprocate his feelings. He still had a long way to go in his love life…
The most important thing now was to coax this angry little lady. Otherwise, she would really think he was “buying oranges.” No matter how much explaining he did, he wouldn’t be able to make up for it.
“Okay, I was wrong. I won’t do this again.” He Zhichu walked a few steps closer to her and stopped at a safe distance. “The restaurant is about to close. Let’s go.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at him with a clear gaze, unlike the wolf-like look she had before. She nodded. “Young Master He, you’re on a mission, right? Being drunk is bad for business. You can’t drink right now.”
Huo Shaoheng and the others were strictly prohibited from drinking when they were on a mission.
He Zhichu glanced at her. “You knew I was on a mission?”
Gu Nianzhi stopped playing games with him and said seriously, “I saw you outside the window last night, and those gunmen…”
He Zhichu’s heart tightened. He walked over to hold her hand and said in a low voice, “Don’t talk about this anymore. If anyone finds out, even I won’t be able to save you.”
So serious?
Gu Nianzhi glanced at him and nodded. “I know. If it weren’t for your abnormal behavior today, I wouldn’t have said anything. Do you think it’s fake that I’ve lived with Major General Huo for so many years? Their security work is much better than yours.”
He Zhichu laughed bitterly and pointed to his chest. “You really know how to stab me.”
Gu Nianzhi shrugged. “You’ll get used to it.”
He Zhichu looked at her nonchalant expression and laughed. He couldn’t do anything to her.
She was spoiled, spoiled by him.
She knew that in front of him, no matter what outrageous things she said or did, he would never lay a finger on her.
Not allowing her to continue struggling, He Zhichu almost “dragged” Gu Nianzhi out of Disneyland.
Qin Zhining parked the car outside and welcomed them out.
He Zhichu opened the car door and shoved Gu Nianzhi into the backseat, then sat in it himself.
Gu Nianzhi looked up and saw Qin Zhining in the driver’s seat. She scoffed. “So it’s Young Master Qin. What’s wrong? Weren’t you secretly protecting me? Aren’t you supposed to be doing this in secret?”
Qin Zhining started the car and said calmly, “I fell into someone’s trap this morning and was lured away from the mountain. Nianzhi, was there anyone looking for you at Disneyland today?”
He had also contacted a few other field agents who were in charge of secretly protecting Gu Nianzhi, and found that they had all lost track of Gu Nianzhi today.
The person they were following wasn’t Gu Nianzhi, even though the three girls were similar in size to Gu Nianzhi.
With such organized confusion, someone must have wanted to make a move on Gu Nianzhi.
They had thought there would be a big mess, but Gu Nianzhi had appeared in front of them unscathed, which confused them.
Gu Nianzhi remembered Lu Jin’s words, and her heart skipped a beat. She didn’t show it on her face and said calmly, “Are you talking about hitting on me? There were a few men hitting on me, but as you know, my standards were so high that I didn’t like those crazy men, so I chased them away.”
Qin Zhining: “…”
He looked at Gu Nianzhi through the rearview mirror. “That’s good. When are you going back to C City?”
Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and leaned against the back seat. She sneered. “Why should I tell you?”
“It’s very dangerous here. You can’t stay here any longer.” Qin Zhining was very serious. “I’ll explain the situation to general he.”
Gu Nianzhi leaned forward and gently knocked on Qin Zhining’s driver’s seat, and she said rudely, “Mr. Qin, listen carefully. At most, you’re my bodyguard. A bodyguard has no right to interfere with the freedom of movement of the person under his protection. What I want to do is none of your business. If you can’t protect me, you can get lost.”
“You — !” Qin Zhining was so angry that his teeth were itching. “What the hell are you doing? !”
“It’s none of your business.” Gu Nianzhi raised her chin. “Your job is to protect me. If you can’t do your job well, that’s your negligence. You can leave right now.”
Gu Nianzhi’s words made people feel happy, as long as her target wasn’t themselves.
He Zhichu stretched his long legs and subtle mirth appeared in his cold eyes. He looked at Gu Nianzhi and said calmly, “Brother Little Ning’s words do make sense. City H will be in chaos soon. It’s better for you to go back.”
Gu Nianzhi sneered. They still don’t know why City H is in such chaos, do they?
If it wasn’t for her idea to have Dresden release some information on Twitter and ask Senator He to act as a lawyer, City H wouldn’t have become the target of public criticism?
Of course, she didn’t want to stay, but if Qin Zhining asked her to leave, and she did, how embarrassing would that be?
Gu Nianzhi raised her hand and looked at the lines on her palm under the setting sun. She said lightly, “I can leave whenever I want. It’s none of your business.”
Qin Zhining honked his car horn furiously. “Why are you so disobedient? !”
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and was about to retort, but He Zhichu quickly stopped her. “Okay, okay. Brother Little Ning has good intentions. Don’t go against him on purpose.”
“Go against him on purpose? You’re flattering him too much.” Gu Nianzhi snorted and didn’t say anything else. She lowered her head to take out her phone and started to choose the time of departure for her plane ticket.
Unexpectedly, H City had suddenly become a hot place, and even the plane tickets were in high demand.
Although she had a return ticket, she couldn’t book a seat because she had changed her ticket.
She searched on her phone for a long time and finally chose a flight that was three days later. She booked a seat, but she didn’t reveal a single word.
He Zhichu had a mission, so she couldn’t go overboard.
He walked Gu Nianzhi downstairs to the four seasons hotel and warned her, “Don’t be too headstrong when you’re out. Just because you’re fine this time doesn’t mean you’ll be so lucky in the future. Be good. I’ll accompany you when you get back, okay?”
He looked at Gu Nianzhi almost as if he was begging her. Gu Nianzhi could avoid Qin Zhining, but she had to give He Zhichu face.
“Okay, I’ve already signed the return plane ticket.” Gu Nianzhi thought about it and decided to say it out loud so they wouldn’t worry.
He Zhichu and Qin Zhining breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this young lady wasn’t so stubborn as to be insensible.
After sending Gu Nianzhi back to the hotel, He Zhichu once again disappeared into the crowd.
Qin Zhining, secretly protecting Gu Nianzhi with a few other field agents, was still in hiding.
..
In Lu Yuan’s and Lu Jin’s presidential suite, they had been closely monitoring the movements in front of the main entrance.
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi had finally been sent back by He Zhichu and Qin Zhining, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yuan put away the surveillance equipment and said, “You can rest assured now. The flight is tonight. You should hurry back to C City.”
Lu Jin nodded. “Remember to remind Nianzhi to go back earlier.”
“Don’t worry.” Lu Yuan packed Lu Jin’s suitcase. “I’ll send you to the airport.”
Lu Jin put on his sunglasses and walked out of the room with him. He said, “Don’t forget what you promised me.”
The corner of Lu Yuan’s mouth twitched. “Do you have to go so far? Why do you want to buy the residential area in Nan City? Our analysts have long analyzed that place. The value-added potential there isn’t big.”
“You don’t have to care about that. Remember to let your men negotiate.” Lu Jin smiled. “I’ll wait for your triumphant return in C City.”
Lu Jin took a plane back to C City.
Lu Yuan stayed in H City and closely monitored the progress of the Dresden incident.
At the same time, the military’s Supreme Council standing committee in the imperial capital was holding a secret meeting.
He Chengjian informed the four generals who attended the meeting about their actions in H city. He said happily, “The operation this time went smoothly. Not only did it give the CIA a show of strength, but it also made the Soviet Union see our determination and strength. They increased the bargaining chip to cooperate with us.”
“Why is the Soviet Union so interested in Dresden?” General A was puzzled. “General He, do you know why?”
“We’re not sure about that.” He Chengjian shook his head. “But that doesn’t prevent us from cooperating with them. Moreover, Dresden fell into our hands first. Our people have already gotten all the information from him.”
He Chengjian, the Senator of the Legislative Council of H City, was now Dresden’s lawyer.
He listened to Dresden and had already told him a lot of information.
He Chengjian was a member of the He family and also worked for the imperial government. He had already transferred all the information to the imperial capital.
“That’s good.” General B thought about it carefully. “We still can’t confront the United States directly. Even if the Soviet Union doesn’t intervene, we can’t keep Dresden here.”
“Yes, that’s why I agreed to cooperate with the Soviet Union and let Dresden take refuge in the Soviet Union.” He Chengjian turned on his computer and connected it to the big screen in the meeting room with a big smile on his face. “KGB sent out a team with the head of the KGB’s Far East Bureau as the representative in order to show their sincerity.”
With a click, a picture of a beautiful Chinese woman appeared on the big screen.
She was gorgeous and tall, ad had long wavy curls. The ends of her hair were dyed wine red, which made her skin look especially fair and delicate.
Her body was especially curvy.
“This is the KGB’s Linda, the ‘Bombshell of the Far East’. She’s an old rival of our intelligence department.” He Chengjian clicked on the information of this woman. “The ‘Bombshell of the Far East’, Linda’s Chinese name is Xiao Ye. She has fought with us for so many years. Both sides have won and lost. Are you all familiar with her?”
Laughter broke out in the meeting room.
How could they not be familiar with her?
They had fought for many years.
“She is the only one in charge of the support work?” General B frowned. “Is this the greatest sincerity of the Soviet Union?”
Although Linda was powerful, her position in the Soviet’s KGB wasn’t very high. At least, this wasn’t something she could decide.
“Of course, she isn’t the only one.” He Chengjian gently clicked the mouse, and his expression became serious. “In addition to her, the Soviet Union has also sent the most important person in the KGB’s Far East Bureau, the ‘Ace of the Far East’, Peter, who has never shown his true face and has never lost a battle with us for so many years.”
On the big screen, Linda’s beautiful photo faded away and replaced with a photo of an Oriental man.
His deep eyes stared coldly at the people in the meeting room. His looks were so handsome that it was suffocating. Everyone was stunned for a moment.
He Chengjian pursed his lips and opened his profile.
“The KGB’s Ace of the Far East, Peter. Chinese name: Huo Shaoheng.”
