"It's just a chance encounter, right? It's like meeting the parents there?" Xu Piaohong disagreed, "If you want to meet the parents, you have to meet them at home. What's the deal with making an appointment at a coffee shop? Is it not allowed to meet people at home?"
"Cousin, your eloquence is better than that of a barrister. I can't speak to you!" Miao Yunxiao covered her mouth and laughed softly, "What you said makes sense. With this look, even if you are meeting your parents, you are not sincere."
"That's right, my dad often said that when looking at people and things, you should not look at the surface, but look at the essence from the phenomenon." Xu Piaohong said with a smile, and she and Miao Yunxiao walked to the window seat in the cafe and sat down.
Through the window, they happened to see what was happening outside.
Huo Shaoheng, Xie Dezhao, and Xie Qingying, the father and daughter, have not left yet. They are standing on the tree-lined path by the roadside in front of the cafe. The street lamps shine yellow light from the gaps in the branches, shining on the faces of the people under the trees.
The handsome men and beautiful women complement each other like the most beautiful oil painting.
Xu Piaohong remained silent, looking down at the menu to find something to eat.
Miao Yunxiao quietly took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the warm and harmonious scene under the tree.
Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyebrows and looked at Xie Qingying, who was slightly raising his head in front of him, looking at each other silently. Xie Dezhao was laughing at the side, looking happy to see the success.
Even under the street lights at night, two blushes could be seen on Xie Qingying's fair cheeks.
Her eyes were astonishingly bright.
…
After Huo Shaoheng said goodbye to the Xie family and his daughter on the roadside, his own car drove over. He nodded to them, got into his own car, and said to Fan Jian, "Drive."
His special car quickly left the European Cafe and headed to the headquarters of the Special Operations Division.
As soon as Huo Shaoheng got in the car, he sent a message to Zhao Liangze and asked him to search online for a person named Kevin-Ku.
Zhao Liangze saw the news and hurriedly called him, "Master Huo, is this the genius scientist Xie Dezhao told you just now?"
"Yes, that's him. His Chinese name is Gu Xiangwen and his English name is Kevin-Ku." Huo Shaoheng calmly passed on the news, "Check it out quickly."
Zhao Liangze immediately logged onto the Internet and started searching for Kevin-Ku using the search engine he wrote.
When Huo Shaoheng returned to the headquarters of the Special Operations Division, Zhao Liangze had already put the searched information on his desk.
"Master Huo, is Gu Xiangwen really Kevin-Ku? Is this news confirmed?!" Zhao Liangze followed Huo Shaoheng excitedly and followed him into the office, "Fuck! This news is so exciting!"
"Is he very famous?" Huo Shaoheng took off his coat and hung it on the wall hanger in the office. He turned to look at Zhao Liangze who was blushing with excitement and shook his head, "Even if he is, you don't have to be so excited, right?"
"Master Huo, I can't help but be excited!" Zhao Liangze took a few steps closer and said in a low voice but hastily: "Master Huo, have you forgotten the failed Plan B of the Special Operations Department?!"
Huo Shaoheng was startled, with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down his mood, walked to his desk and sat down, picked up the news that Zhao Liangze had searched for and read it.
He did not read the details, but only briefly read the main contents listed by Zhao Liangze. While reading, he nodded and said: "It turns out to be him. This person is indeed very famous, but the signature of the paper he published is not Kevin-Ku. But KXW.”
"Yes, this is not like a name, but more like a code name." Zhao Liangze pointed to the information he found and explained to Huo Shaoheng, "This KXW is the most famous mysterious figure in foreign military history. His patents not only include the most advanced military The core technology of aircraft engines, as well as many patents on semiconductor and superconducting technologies, and in terms of materials science, he also holds several patents that are now widely used."
When seeing the patent list listed under the name "KXW", even a well-informed person like Huo Shaoheng was deeply shocked.
Not to mention those military technologies, there are also some civilian technologies that are widely used today. For example, the core technology of Apple mobile phone chips is also a patent of KXW.
This means that every time an Apple mobile phone is sold in the world, KXW, the patent owner, must pay money.
Even if he is only given one yuan for each Apple mobile phone, considering the astronomical number of Apple mobile phone shipments every year, it is already very low-key and modest to say that Gu Xiangwen is an invisible rich man.
"Our department used to think that this name was the code name of a team member, and their research results should be collective results. But if what Xie Dezhao said is true, then our intelligence work will have to be rewritten." That's why Zhao Liangze was so excited.
Huo Shaoheng nodded thoughtfully, "KXW, I know this code name. The code for our Plan B is him."
It turns out that he is so close to them and yet so far away...
"However, Mr. Huo..." Zhao Liangze knocked his head in confusion, "I checked all the public and non-public information about Gu Xiangwen that I could find on the Internet, and found that in addition to these publicly released academic papers and patent applications, Other information is almost impossible to find.”
"...What do you mean that it can't be found at all?" Huo Shaoheng put down the pile of search materials, "What aspect do you mean?"
"For example, I wanted to search for his resume, his photos, and even his life, but there was very little information." Zhao Liangze said, grinning, showing eight white teeth, "Then I remembered something. "
"explain."
"After Gu Xiangwen became famous, he almost disappeared, and all news was erased. But what about before he became famous? When he was studying in school?" Zhao Liangze pointed to the bottom few pieces of paper in the stack of materials, "In order to find out his academic status Records, I had no choice but to use some means to gain access to MIT’s intranet.”
Huo Shaoheng said calmly: "I don't know what you are talking about, but you just need to get the information to me."
"Yes, Chief!" Zhao Liangze was secretly happy. He knew that Huo Shaoheng meant not to pursue the matter.
The Special Operations Division has an unwritten rule called "Don't-ask, Don't-tell", which means if you don't ask, I won't tell, and everyone understands it tacitly.
"From here you can see the timeline of Gu Xiangwen's study period, which is very clear." Zhao Liangze put a chart in front of Huo Shaoheng and pointed it to Huo Shaoheng, "Look at this timeline, until the year when Gu Tian died. , with a snap, all the clues were broken. There was no trace of his whereabouts, except that he published a heavyweight paper under the name 'KXW' every few years."
Huo Shaoheng looked at the chart timeline drawn by Zhao Liangze and nodded, "It's very interesting, Xiaoze, you did a good job."
"Thank you for the compliment, chief!" Zhao Liangze's face turned purple with excitement, "What else do you want to check? Just ask!"
Huo Shaoheng: "..."
"Hey, Mr. Huo, don't tell me. After looking at Gu Xiangwen's resume and thinking about it, he is the only one worthy of being our father. No one else is worthy!"
Zhao Liangze knew that Gu Xiangwen should be Gu Nianzhi's biological father, and now knew that Gu Xiangwen was such a well-known figure in the academic world. He was so excited that he rubbed his hands together, wishing that he could immediately take Gu Xiangwen to the imperial capital and meet Gu Nianzhi. , and cooperated with them...
Huo Shaoheng smiled lightly, "You think too simply."
"Isn't it? Although we can't directly find his address now, we already have so many clues, and it will only take a matter of minutes to find his address!" Zhao Liangze geared up, "Do you want me to try again? try?"
"You can try, but I don't think there will be any results." Huo Shaoheng put the pile of search materials aside and said solemnly: "Gu Xiangwen chose to live in seclusion 26 years ago. How can you find him so easily? Also, he He is Nianzhi's biological father, but why has there been no news from him in the past six years? Doesn't he know that his daughter is missing? "
These words were like a basin of cold water being poured down, and Zhao Liangze died like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"You mean, something might have happened to him?" Zhao Liangze thought for a while, and the worst possibility made his face change.
Huo Shaoheng closed the file and closed his eyes, "I don't know. Everything is unknown now, and it's too early to draw conclusions."
"However, it's not completely unknown." Zhao Liangze waved his arm, "At least we already have a direction and a goal. It's not like before, where we were groping in the dark for six years!"
"That's true." Huo Shaoheng picked up the water glass and took a sip of water. He pursed his lips and said, "Okay, this matter has been revealed. You don't have to worry too much. Just check it step by step. If you still can't find it, just check it out. Go find Xie Dezhao again. I don’t believe he can’t contact Gu Xiangwen.”
"Yes, Chief!" Zhao Liangze replied resoundingly, standing at attention and saluting, and he followed the rules more than usual.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him and said, "Tell me, what's the matter? You must ask for something."
"Master Huo, how can you say that? You are my boss, why can't I be polite to you?" Zhao Liangze chuckled, "But you are right, I do have something to ask for."
"Well, tell me."
"...Tomorrow is Saturday, and it's also Valentine's Day." Zhao Liangze said, his face turning red again, "I want to take a day off tomorrow and turn off my phone 24 hours a day. Do you think that's okay?"
Due to the nature of their work, they are always on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, especially Zhao Liangze, who maintains the central control system of the entire Special Operations Department.
Even when he goes home for the New Year, a special mobile phone of his still maintains communication status throughout the day, ready to handle emergencies at any time.
This time he made the request that this particular phone also be turned off.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him and did not continue to ask. He just nodded, "Okay, you don't have to turn on your phone for 24 hours tomorrow. I will take over the central control system."
"Thank you, chief!" Zhao Liangze was about to jump for joy, "Then I'll trouble you tomorrow!"
"Go." Huo Shaoheng waved his hand, "Close the door when you go out."
Zhao Liangze responded loudly, ran out, and took Huo Shaoheng's office door with him.
Huo Shaoheng lowered his head and carefully studied Zhao Liangze's search results again, then found some doubts and searched on the dark web again.
…
On Friday night, a relaxed and joyful atmosphere spread in the dormitory of the female graduate students of the Law Department of University B. Pink bubbles seemed to be popping up everywhere.
The girls gathered together in twos and threes, all preparing for tomorrow's Valentine's Day.
This is the season of secret comparison.
Whose boyfriend is tall, whose boyfriend is handsome, whose boyfriend is rich, whose boyfriend is powerful, I wish I could make a list and post it in the corridor for everyone to admire.
If someone’s boyfriend is tall, handsome, rich, and powerful, that’s the rhythm of becoming a god. This is how male gods come to be...
Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi each held a box of popcorn and sat on both sides of the sofa, watching an old movie in the living room.
The two of them knew almost all the lines from the movie, and it was the background music that echoed in the living room. Neither of them actually listened, and they were both a little absent-minded.
Not long after, Gu Nianzhi finished eating her popcorn. She looked at the inventory, stood up and said to Ma Qiqi, "There is nothing left to eat. Do you want to go out and buy something?"
"Go! Go right away!" Ma Qiqi, whose head and brain were withered after a night, immediately became energetic, "Where should we buy it?"
"It's a campus mall, where else?" Gu Nianzhi put on a down jacket, walked out of the room with Ma Qiqi, and came to the corridor.
The door of the dormitory diagonally across from them was open, and bursts of laughter came out of it.
Miao Yunxiao's voice was exceptionally clear and sweet: "Don't grab it! This is my future cousin-in-law! Don't break it for me!"
"Really your cousin-in-law? But why is he with another woman?!"
"I said he was my cousin-in-law in the future, but not now? He is the youngest major general in our country, and my uncle is also the deputy chief of staff. He and my cousin are well-matched, and the military organization has agreed to come forward and introduce them to them. Yes." Miao Yunxiao said proudly, the pride in his tone almost bursting out.
Gu Nianzhi's expression changed with anger, and she stopped at the door of Miao Yunxiao's dormitory.
Miao Yunxiao caught a glimpse of Gu Nianzhi's figure at the door, and felt an indescribable sense of pleasure in his heart.
She shook her phone at her roommate and said, "Look, isn't he really handsome? I mean, who are you talking about as a male idol? Those guys combined can't even compare to Major General Huo with one finger!"
Gu Nianzhi was just suspicious at first, but now he was completely convinced that Miao Yunxiao was talking about Huo Shaoheng.
She's been having a hell of a week this week.
Huo Shaoheng let her go last weekend. She didn't call to inquire, but went back to school alone.
This whole week, Huo Shaoheng only called her once, and he hung up after saying a few words in a hurry, which made her very regretful.
Now on Friday night, Huo Shaoheng didn't call her, let alone where she was going to stay for the weekend. Her mood was like a volcano that had been pent up for a long time, just waiting for the moment to erupt.
