Huo Shaoheng's phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it.
Gu Nianzhi did not hang up as usual, but left him a message: "Uncle Huo, this is Nianzhi. I had my eighteenth birthday yesterday, were you here yesterday?"
After leaving the message, Gu Nianzhi went to the bathroom to take a shower.
She didn't take a shower at He Zhichu's house yesterday, she just wiped the rain from her hair and washed her feet.
After taking a shower, she dried her hair and fell down to sleep.
The next day, she fully recovered and got up early to work on the Appropriations Committee of Congress as normal.
At noon, I went to see Senior Brother Huang at the Ocean Freedom of Passage Committee and found that he had actually called in sick!
Gu Nianzhi was speechless. None of the people he had confronted with the pirates asked for sick leave. Senior Brother Huang actually asked for sick leave...
She called him: "Senior Brother Huang, what's wrong with you? I heard that you are sick?"
Senior Brother Huang was wrapped in quilt and sleeping in the apartment. When he heard his cell phone ringing, he picked it up and said hummingly: "Nianzhi? I did this all for you. Do you know that I almost died for your birthday?" "
Gu Nianzhi thought of the speedboat that had changed people, and said with some surprise: "...What's wrong with you? I heard Professor He said that you are okay?"
"My body is fine, but my mind is extremely frightened." Senior Brother Huang has never encountered such a thrilling thing at his age. He was so frightened that he peed his pants when several strong black men pointed guns at his head. …
"... Then take good care of yourself." Gu Nianzhi could only comfort him, "How about you tell me the process? Maybe if you tell me, you will feel better."
Senior Brother Huang was about to talk to someone and said hurriedly: "I still don't know what happened! We agreed to go on a cruise, but the van dragged us to an empty room and tied us up. It lasted a whole afternoon , I thought I wouldn’t survive, thinking about my wife and family almost crazy!”
"Senior Brother Huang, it's okay, it's okay. Professor He will definitely not let you suffer in vain." Gu Nianzhi's heart moved, "But wasn't that van arranged by Assistant Professor Wen? Including the speedboat... "
"It's her, but she can't guarantee that she won't encounter bandits." Senior Brother Huang expressed his understanding. "Barbados is originally a small country with average security. With such a large number of pirates, there is nothing they can do. Later, Professor He found someone, Barbados The police rescued us." After saying that, he wailed again: "But I'm still very scared! I still can't sleep normally, and when I close my eyes, I feel that the cold barrel of the gun is still pointing at my head!"
Gu Nianzhi comforted him a few more words and asked for more details quietly before hanging up the phone: "Senior Brother Huang, have a good rest. I will bring you delicious food when I go home tonight."
All day long, Gu Nianzhi had been thinking about the pirates. She wanted to know who the culprit was behind it.
If it was Wen Shouyi, why did she want to die by herself
If not her, then who? What's the purpose
But after thinking about it all day, she still felt that there were too few clues. Except for Wen Shouyi who was the most suspicious, she basically couldn't think of anyone else.
And she didn't have any evidence to prove that it was Wen Shouyi who did it. Instead, because she blocked a shot for her, from now on, her attitude towards Wen Shouyi could no longer be as emotionally expressive as before.
So in the end, Gu Nianzhi gave up.
She is not a pushover.
If you can't figure it out, let's stop thinking about it for the time being. Anyway, she is alive and well. The person who should be angry is the person who spent 10 million US dollars to buy her life.
Gu Nianzhi shrugged and put all this behind him.
When she returned to the apartment in the evening, she and Zhao Liangze brought food to Senior Brother Huang.
Zhao Liangze took the opportunity to ask Senior Brother Huang for a lot of information.
Zhao Liangze was a professional and asked many detailed questions that Gu Nianzhi had ignored.
The two returned to the apartment where they lived. Zhao Liangze frowned and said to Gu Nianzhi: "...Which one of us has an enemy in Barbados? You or me?"
"Why do you say that?" Gu Nianzhi raised his chin and opened his eyes wide, as if he was curious about a baby.
"According to what Senior Brother Huang just said, the person who did it needs to go through many links in Barbados. Do you think that just any person can commit such a case in the capital of Barbados?" Zhao Liangze rubbed Gu Nianzhi's hair, "You just Stop thinking about it and leave this matter to us to investigate."
"...I think Professor He should be investigated." Gu Nianzhi said quietly, "He has suffered too much loss."
She remembered Wen Shouyi saying that the cruise ship was bought specially at the beginning. It was still new, but now it sank.
There might also be various compensations for guests. No matter how you look at it, He Zhichu should be the most annoyed.
"He will definitely investigate too." Zhao Liangze sat back at his computer desk, "I'll tell Nobita about the new situation."
Gu Nianzhi stayed in his room and lingered for a while, then asked in a roundabout way: "Brother Ozawa, where are Nobita and the others?"
Zhao Liangze paused, looked back at her and smiled, "Why do you ask this?"
"Didn't they say they went to Cuba? It won't take a day or two for the nuclear submarine to return, right?" Gu Nianzhi looked at him eagerly, "Then Uncle Huo..."
"Oh, you have to ask Master Huo." Zhao Liangze's eyes flashed with teasing, "Master Huo and Daxiong have returned to China."
"You've gone back already?" Gu Nianzhi was surprised, "So soon?"
"Well, there was something going on at home, so they took a special plane to leave." Zhao Liangze relayed Nobita's words.
But Daxiong didn't know what Huo Shaoheng did.
As soon as they returned to the Chinese Empire, Huo Shaoheng was summoned by the top military commander, General Ji, who was said to be carrying out a top-secret military mission.
In fact, Huo Shaoheng was summoned to solitary confinement by General Ji.
In order to maintain Huo Shaoheng's prestige, only a few people knew about this matter, including General Ji himself, Speaker Long of the Upper House of Parliament, and Huo Shaoheng's father, Huo Guanchen, director of the Military Political Department.
For two months, not a day should be missing.
People in the military know that confinement is very uncomfortable. Although it is not corporal punishment, it is better than corporal punishment.
That feeling of loneliness, of being cut off from the rest of the world and having no one to talk to, can really drive people crazy sometimes.
Except Huo Shaoheng.
In the training of their Special Operations Division, confinement is also one of the training tasks.
Therefore, General Ji asked Huo Shaoheng to be placed in solitary confinement. The warning was more important than punishment.
Huo Shaoheng did not argue and went to the solitary room alone.
He has the rank of Major General and cannot let others know that he is in solitary confinement, so his solitary room is a small single room temporarily packed out in General Ji's home.
It has its own kitchen and bathroom, as well as a bed, a desk, a computer without Internet access, and a large cabinet of books and files.
In the past two months, he has not been able to access the Internet, but he can read books.
These books and files were enough to kill him for two months.
Of course, his mobile phone, tablet and other things were confiscated and could not be brought in.
General Ji personally acted as a guard to oversee his confinement.
With such a high standard, Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze would definitely not be able to get specific information.
Gu Nianzhi never received a call from Huo Shaoheng. He was relieved when he heard that he was on a top-secret military mission.
But there are also some regrets.
It was her eighteenth birthday, and she didn't even hear Uncle Huo say "Happy Birthday" to her...
Gu Nianzhi returned to his room, took a shower first, changed into pajamas and went to bed.
I wanted to watch the news for a while and then go to bed, but then my cell phone rang.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the caller ID and saw that it was He Zhichu's call.
She hesitated for a moment, then opened the phone with her finger and connected the phone.
"Hello, Professor He." Gu Nianzhi greeted politely.
He Zhichu pursed his lips, holding the phone in his hand, looking at the rushing Pontiac River outside the window, and asked in a clear voice: "Nianzhi, are you feeling better?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "I'm fine. I've been fine for a long time. I even went to Congress to listen to their debate today."
"It's fine." He Zhichu didn't know what to say at this time. He was silent for a while and then said: "Nianzhi, your parents are gone, how come you have different guardians?"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
She hesitated for a moment and then said calmly: "That was all in the past. I am now over eighteen years old and can be independent and do not need a guardian."
After saying these words, Gu Nianzhi suddenly woke up.
She is already eighteen years old and is legally a person who can bear full legal responsibility. In other words, she really does not need a guardian.
So she no longer has any reason or position to contact Huo Shaoheng
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt panicked and didn't know what to do.
It was like being in a huge crowd. Everyone passed by her, but she didn't recognize anyone.
Gu Nianzhi hugged the little panda pillow and shrank into the bed, wishing he could bury himself behind the pillow.
When He Zhichu saw that Gu Nianzhi was unwilling to answer this question, he did not continue to ask. Moreover, Gu Nianzhi said that she did not need a guardian. It should be that she would have greater autonomy in her future life, right
He Zhichu quietly looked out the window at the Pontimac River, his peach blossom eyes shining beautifully in the mid-autumn night. He took a deep breath and planned to hang up the phone: "Okay, I'll let you know if anything happens in the future. you."
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi held the phone, buried his cheek in the pillow, and asked angrily: "Professor He, have you found out who belongs to those pirates?"
He Zhichu shook his head: "Everyone is dead, where can we check?"
"But they were holding hostages in Barbados, couldn't they find out?" Gu Nianzhi was puzzled. With He Zhichu's ability and power, shouldn't he be able to find out nothing
"Barbados is not the United States. My hands are not that long." He Zhichu smiled bitterly, "Look, do you think I am omnipotent?"
"Of course not." Gu Nianzhi blurted out, unaware that He Zhichu on the other end of the phone had a dark face.
She said: "I know that the other party committed crimes on the high seas and took hostages in Barbados. It is really difficult to investigate. But they destroyed Professor He's cruise ship. For such a huge loss, don't you want to find the person behind the scenes to compensate them? They Offering 10 million US dollars to buy our lives shows that the people behind the scenes are rich."
He Zhichu's mood was made worse by Gu Nian's "Of course not". He wanted to sneer, but he tried his best to hold back and said coldly: "It's just a cruise ship, I don't care about it. Besides, the cruise ship It’s for you, and you don’t care about it, so why should I care about it?”
"Ah? For me?" Gu Nianzhi raised his head from the pillow in surprise, "Is that cruise ship really for me?"
"Of course, didn't you see the words engraved on the cruise ship?" He Zhichu said angrily, "Or did Wen Shouyi not do as I asked?"
"Oh, no, no, I saw those words, but I thought Professor He was just being polite..." Gu Nianzhi sneered, after all, the words painted on could be changed in a minute.
If it is really said that the cruise ship is hers, well, she has to prove it with actual evidence, for example, whether it is her name written on the cruise ship deed...
There is no deed paper, just a few words painted on the cruise ship and she says it belongs to her. I'm sorry, she is not an ignorant girl who does not understand the law. She cannot bear this false name.
"... I said it's yours, it's yours. Of course, there's no point in saying it now." He Zhichu didn't dwell on the matter anymore. The cruise ship sank anyway, and the most he could do was ask the insurance company for the premium.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed his forehead, shook his head and insisted on objecting to He Zhichu's statement: "Professor He, if it's not mine, it's not mine. You can't just say it's mine and then carry such a big gift on me, I can't bear it. rise."
"You said I deceived you?" He Zhichu now understood what Gu Nianzhi meant, "When did I deceive you?"
When he got angry, he walked back to his study and pulled out the legal procedures of the cruise ship from the computer, including the cruise ship's purchase receipt and deed.
But once it came out, he was speechless.
The name on the deed is still his, He Zhichu, not Gu Nianzhi.
In other words, Gu Nianzhi was not wrong, and she should not live up to her reputation.
This cruise ship just has her name painted on it.
He Zhichu couldn't bear it anymore, hung up the phone, kicked over his desk, and then called Wen Shouyi, who was already recovering from his injuries in Boston.
"Wen Shouyi! I asked you to transfer the ownership of the cruise ship to Nian Zhi, and you actually went against it?" If Wen Shouyi were standing in front of He Zhichu now, she would have been strangled to death by him.
Wen Shouyi felt something unexpected happen in her heart. She didn't understand why someone would still pay attention to the name on the deed for a ship that had sunk...
"Professor He, the thing is like this. Nian Zhi is not an American. The procedure is very complicated to transfer the cruise ship to her. I am still waiting for her background check, so..." Wen Shouyi smiled softly, "Professor He, now The cruise ship is gone, do you still want to transfer it to her? If you still want it, I can urge the company that did the background check to finish it as soon as possible."
"No need. I'll buy her something else as a birthday present." He Zhichu's voice was colder than ten thousand years of ice. "After you recover from your injury, don't be my teaching assistant anymore. I will talk to my old family Make it clear that you don’t have to follow me anymore.”
Wen Shouyi closed her eyes and her hands were trembling, but she did not argue and replied softly: "Okay, I will listen to Professor He." After saying that, she hung up the phone, fell back on the hospital bed, and turned around to lie on the pillow. , covering up his choking and sobbing voice.
