"Because her real crime, when it comes to the secret military court, is that she illegally obtained secret military intelligence, illegally carried secret military intelligence abroad, and leaked secrets on a large scale, which will have an adverse impact on our people at any time." Huo Shaoheng sighed, "Read After all, I actually made a mistake in this matter."
"Ah?" Although Gu Nianzhi was smart, she still didn't know much about Huo Shaoheng's work, so she didn't turn around for a while, "How could you make a mistake?! It's impossible!"
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips and said, "I am also a human being, of course I will make mistakes."
He held Gu Nianzhi's face and said, "... I shouldn't have told you that these photos are photos of props used for missions."
What he said was actually a leak to some extent.
"But I won't tell others!" Gu Nianzhi became anxious, "I swear! I..."
Huo Shaoheng covered her mouth and said in a very gentle voice: "No need to swear, I believe you."
The tears that Gu Nianzhi had been holding back for a long time burst out. She threw herself into Huo Shaoheng's arms and hugged his neck tightly, just like she did when she was a child. She cried so hard that she couldn't speak. The tears came like a flood and soon soaked Huo Shaoheng's front. .
Huo Shaoheng helplessly patted Gu Nianzhi on the back, "Stop crying, I told you I believed you."
"But you asked me to be mentally prepared, I'm afraid..." Gu Nianzhi said intermittently while sobbing, arching her chest.
Huo Shaoheng took out a tissue from the bedside table, wiped Gu Nianzhi's tears, and woke up his nose, "Okay, just pretend you don't know about the photo, and it will be fine if you stay here with me for the rest of the day. I want to tell you now Talk about the normal way to handle this kind of thing.”
Gu Nianzhi said "hmm" and let Huo Shaoheng wipe her face obediently. Then she looked at Huo Shaoheng trustingly with a pair of washed black eyes.
"Thinking about it, these photos should not have been released, but if they were released, like what happened this time, according to the normal way our country handles this kind of thing, I can't even deny that she and I are a couple. Relationship." Huo Shaoheng said word by word, his deep eyes fixed on Gu Nianzhi, not letting go of any of her expressions or eyes.
So what he means is that he must acquiesce in the relationship between the couple in the photo
As expected, Gu Nianzhi couldn't bear it, and her snow-white face turned red again with fright, and she asked anxiously: "Why can't you deny it?! If it's not true! Why admit it? Do you really want to be threatened by them in such a despicable way?"
"Because if you deny the relationship between me and her, it will inevitably lead to another possibility." Huo Shaoheng touched her long hair, "You think, even you can see the clues, wouldn't other countries' intelligence agencies not be able to see the clues? Come out? Those people are the best of the best. The American CIA and the British MI5 all have huge agencies dedicated to dealing with our country."
"At that time, once people know that she and I are not the kind of couple in the photo, what do you think they will think of?"
Gu Nianzhi's heart twisted into a ball, "Lenovo... Lenovo..." She found herself unable to speak.
Huo Shaoheng sighed softly and answered on her behalf: "They will immediately think that this is not a private behavior, but official business. Then, the mission we performed back then will be noticed and traced to the source, which will put our people in a In danger.”
Huo Shaoheng was more patient with Gu Nianzhi than with others. He never explained his actions and intentions to others, but this time, he explained it in detail and thoroughly.
Gu Nianzhi was already smart, and with Huo Shaoheng's clear explanation of the cause and effect, she quickly understood everything, and the stars in her eyes dimmed little by little.
Gu Nianzhi could not hide his fear: "So, in terms of conventional handling methods, even if you can arrest and convict Dou Qingyan, you still cannot disclose the truth about these photos. You can only assume that you and Dou Qingyan had a relationship. Love affair, huh?”
She lowered her head, not daring to look into Huo Shaoheng's eyes again, "... So, it's much better to let everyone think you're in love with someone else than to know the truth, right?"
Gu Nianzhi drew inferences from his actions and already told the subsequent results.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her calmly, stood up from the sofa, pushed open the French window door of Gu Nianzhi's bedroom leading to the terrace, and stood on the terrace.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, looking at the night in trance for a long time.
He was also confessing that when he saw these photos, his first reaction was not the possible leak, but the worry that Gu Nianzhi would be unhappy...
At that moment, without thinking, he immediately told her the truth. In fact, he had violated the confidentiality law.
It turned out that her influence on him, her position in his heart, was much deeper than he thought.
Huo Shaoheng hung his head on the cold terrace, holding a cigarette in one hand and holding his elbow in the other. The cigarette in his hand was almost burned out, but he did not take another puff.
He maintained this posture and remained silent for a long time.
Gu Nianzhi walked out wearing a down jacket and whispered to Huo Shaoheng: "Huo Shaoheng, you said you believed in me. I will never mention it to others. Don't worry."
No matter how sad she felt, even if Dou Qingyan showed off his power in front of her again, she would remain tight-lipped.
Huo Shaoheng realized that Gu Nianzhi had not yet realized the seriousness of this matter. He threw the cigarette in his hand into the trash can under the terrace, turned around and took Gu Nianzhi back to the bedroom.
As soon as the floor-to-ceiling window door was closed, warm air rushed into his face, and Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but sneeze.
Huo Shaoheng did not let go of his hand, still holding Gu Nianzhi's shoulder. He hesitated for a long time before he said cruelly: "Nianzhi, have you ever thought about it? If you want to be with me, this kind of thing may happen again in the future. . Even things that are more embarrassing and even painful for you than this kind of thing, even if you know the truth, you can't explain it, you can't argue it, you can't even reveal it with a look. - Can you bear it? "
These misunderstandings, difficulties and embarrassments may be the price of being with someone like him.
His expression was extremely restrained and forbearing, and he looked at her quietly with deep and obscure eyes, waiting for her answer.
Gu Nianzhi just nodded and said softly: "That's it."
Her reaction was too quick and her attitude was too understatement. Huo Shaoheng didn't know whether Gu Nianzhi realized the seriousness of this matter.
After thinking for a while, Huo Shaoheng added: "Actually, this kind of thing is nothing to people in our field. Our seniors in the Special Operations Department have shouldered bigger scapegoats. Do you know how many of our colleagues are silent? Disappearing into prisons abroad without a trace? They were not recognized by the country until their death. - Because this is how our industry handles things."
And they are used to it.
It is a true dedication of all the body and mind, not only your own life, but also your own reputation...
Gu Nianzhi was really shocked. She was stunned for a moment and then expressed her strong objection: "No! No! How can this be done?! All the people who can enjoy a peaceful and happy life because of your selfless efforts should know your contribution! The names of those seniors should not just remain in the secret files of your Special Operations Department! - I hope that one day, every person in your Special Operations Department who has made special contributions to this country can appear in a public memorial. ! They should not be forgotten! And they should not bear the undeserved infamy and accusations!"
Huo Shaoheng was suddenly very moved. He leaned over and hugged her, but he didn't know what to say.
The training he has received over the years is that no matter what kind of adversity he is in, he will not defend himself or reveal a secret.
Gu Nianzhi leaned back in Huo Shaoheng's arms, smiled, and said softly: "Okay, Mr. Huo, I admit that I am not that great. I just said this purely because of you."
She turned to look at him and said categorically: "If one day you encounter this situation, I will not give up, let alone agree to this conventional method of handling it. I will not let anyone have any chance. Slander your reputation. I swear on my life that if you are no longer here, I will spend the rest of my life defending your reputation and protecting everything you want to protect."
Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat.
He never thought that Gu Nianzhi already knew him so deeply.
He never realized that there would be such a confession that could hit the depths of his heart and leave him with no other choice but to surrender.
