The Tan family and the Cai family either stay in China wholeheartedly and feel that the Chinese Empire is better than anywhere else, or the only place they can live permanently is the European continent with rich cultural heritage.
Huo Shaoheng looked thoughtfully at a large plum vase placed in the corner of the living room. It seemed to be at least a thousand years old. It was definitely an antique. He didn't know how it was brought out.
Tan Guiren followed Huo Shaoheng's gaze and saw that he was interested in the plum vase. He hurriedly said: "That was given to me by my distant aunt. My aunt's family settled in the United States very early. It is the most important part of our family." A few relatives who have settled in America.”
"Very early?"
"Well, my distant aunt's great-grandfather's generation went abroad. It's been at least more than a hundred years."
Huo Shaoheng was relieved, it turned out that he was taken abroad a long time ago.
At that time, it happened to be a time of domestic chaos.
After the topic was finished, the living room fell into silence again.
At this time, Tan Guiren mustered up his courage and said to Huo Shaoheng: "This time, thank you very much. Without you, I would definitely not be alive."
Huo Shaoheng lightly tapped his knee with one hand as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, this is my job."
"But your status is so high. You didn't need to do this in person, and I put you in danger. I'm really sorry." Tan Guiren said anxiously, stood up and bowed deeply to Huo Shaoheng, " Fortunately, you are okay. If anything happened to you, I would live with guilt for the rest of my life."
Huo Shaoheng: "..."
"Miss Tan is serious." Huo Shaoheng moved on the sofa calmly, "Actually, I just stopped by. There happened to be a mission here, so I came over."
"Really?" Tan Guiren's eyes widened and he slowly sat down opposite him, "But my mother said that they specifically asked you to come here in person."
Huo Shaoheng: "..."
He didn't speak for a while, thought for a moment, and then said: "I'm surprised that Ling ** Hall can think of me. In fact, the special police in our country are very good, and no matter who is sent, they can complete the task."
Tan Guiren shook his head, "It's different, you are different from them. That night, I asked you to rescue those two children, but only you went with me, and they didn't go."
Huo Shaoheng choked for a moment, and finally said unceremoniously: "I just think about Miss Tan's safety. To be honest, those two children are not within my protection."
"But you still went." Tan Guiren smiled sweetly, "And later, when you saved the little girl on Fifth Avenue, I knew I was right about you."
The corner of Huo Shaoheng's lips twitched twice, his eyes moved to the heavy rain outside the window, and said: "... It's just a coincidence."
After saying this, Huo Shaoheng suddenly thought that if Gu Nianzhi heard this, he would definitely shake his head in disbelief, indicating that he never did anything he was unsure about. In this case, how could he be impulsive
His mind wandered for a moment, and he looked at the fireplace in front of him. He only heard Tan Guiren talking, but he didn't pay attention to what she was saying.
"How could it be a coincidence? I'm not a fool. I not only see with my own eyes, but also with my own heart." Tan Guiren smiled like a flower, made a heart shape with his slender fingers on his chest, and said: " My mother’s good friend recommended you to her, how could it be wrong?”
"Oh? Was it recommended by your mother's friend? This is so unexpected. Not many people know me in China." Huo Shaoheng heard that Tan Guiren finally got around to the topic he wanted to hear. He came back to his senses and immediately asked quietly. stand up.
"Really? It seems so!" Tan Guiren chuckled, "You didn't leave any contact information this time. I was worried that the gentleman's letter was urgent, so I called back home and asked my parents to help find you. They couldn’t find your contact information. My mother also went to find her good friend, and it turned out that he didn’t know your contact information either, so he later asked me what was going on.”
"Then did you say it?" Huo Shaoheng was a little nervous, and his heart beat a little faster, because if Tan Guiren said it, he would probably be able to find out who was the traitor and who was betraying him.
He went through a lot of circles, even exposing his identity in front of Tan Guiren, a girl with no brains, just to force the people behind the scenes to come out and make them dance.
Huo Shaoheng originally concluded that people like Tan Guiren didn't understand the meaning of confidentiality and would definitely tell the whole story to her family, so that they could follow the clues.
In the end, Tan Guiren shook his head proudly, "Of course not! I know you do important work, so I think this letter must be particularly important. I will never tell others what is going on! Even my mother asked I didn’t even say anything!”
She looked at Huo Shaoheng with twinkling eyes, her face full of "begging for praise".
Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes and endured it for a while before showing a wry smile and a sarcastic expression.
Although it is uncomfortable to talk to people who are not online with both IQ and EQ, it is better than facing a vicious enemy.
Besides, he has experienced professional training, is used to facing all kinds of people, and has more patience than others.
Huo Shaoheng nodded, "Thank you, Miss Tan."
The two talked for a while when a strong wind blew outside the house and the lights in the house suddenly went out.
Tan Guiren gave a small scream.
The servant Sister Fen ran out of the kitchen and shouted: "The power is out! The power is out!"
"It must have been the wind outside that hung up the line." Huo Shaoheng stood up. In the darkness, his deep and magnetic voice had an indescribable charm.
Tan Guiren's heart suddenly calmed down.
"Sister Fen, don't worry. I remember there is a diesel generator at home. Let's go to the basement and have a look." Tan Guiren stood up from the sofa and took two steps forward.
It was too dark in the room, so she forgot that there was a small round stool next to the sofa. She accidentally tripped on it and rolled to the floor with a clang.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he saw Tan Guiren tripping over the stool. He stood aside calmly with his hands tied, not reaching out to help Tan Guiren up.
When Tan Guiren is held hostage by gangsters, he will definitely save her because this is his duty.
But when she fell at home, he had no obligation to help her up.
It was not a fatal injury, Huo Shaoheng's expression was very calm.
Tan Guiren lay on the ground for a while, then sat down on the ground and rubbed his feet with a soft cry.
She rubbed her calf, feeling a little uncomfortable in her ankle. She wondered if it was sprained.
Sister Fen heard the sound and hurriedly took out the flashlight and turned it on.
"Miss? Miss?"
Huo Shaoheng pointed to the sofa, "Miss Tan tripped just now, she's fine now."
Sister Fen shouted and rushed over, flashlight in her hand, "Miss? Miss? Are you okay?!"
Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and said to Sister Fen, "Where is the generator? I'll go take a look."
"In the basement, go out from here. There are stairs over there that lead directly to the basement." Sister Fen pointed the direction of the stairs with a flashlight.
Huo Shaoheng bent down, took the flashlight from Sister Fen, turned around and walked over there.
Sister Fen was stunned for a moment, and Guiren Tan even blushed with embarrassment.
When Huo Shaoheng bent down just now, she thought he was coming to hug her...
Sister Fen helped Tan Guiren up and said with some dissatisfaction: "This gentleman has no gentlemanly manners at all. Miss, you fell to the ground and he didn't even help you."
Tan Guiren forced a smile and said, "I don't blame him. He can't see even in the dark."
"That's true." Sister Fen just said casually. She didn't care about seeing Tan Guiren, let alone an outsider.
Huo Shaoheng took a flashlight to the basement and found a diesel generator in a small room. The main circuit control room of the entire villa was also here, as well as the boiler for hot water and the central control system of the air conditioner.
Here is the overall control system for the bugs and pinhole cameras installed by the CIA.
Of course, this was what James revealed to him.
Due to a sudden power outage, the backup power supply of the main control system here was activated, and only a little red light was seen in the darkness, shining in the small room.
Huo Shaoheng looked at it expressionlessly, took out an insulating knife, and gently cut off the wires of the backup power supply.
The red light suddenly disappeared.
This means that all the bugs and pinhole cameras in the house have stopped functioning.
Then Huo Shaoheng bent down and started the diesel generator.
Soon, the lights in the room came on, and the situation here became clearer.
He looked around again before walking up from the basement.
Back in the living room, Tan Guiren was still sitting on the sofa rubbing his ankles.
Only a small lamp was turned on, and the warm yellow light made the empty living room feel warmer. The violent storm outside the window seemed no longer bad.
Huo Shaoheng put the flashlight on the coffee table and said, "When will the rain outside stop?"
Tan Guiren hurriedly turned on the TV to watch the weather forecast.
On TV, a weather forecaster wearing a raincoat was saying nervously: "Isabella has a tendency to escalate. The heavy rain tonight will fall all night. Please pay attention to safety and do not go out."
Huo Shaoheng: "..."
Tan Guiren secretly glanced at Huo Shaoheng's calm face and felt quietly happy.
But he remained calm on the surface, and said softly: "Mr. Gu, why don't you stay here today? There are many rooms in my house, three guest rooms upstairs and one downstairs."
Huo Shaoheng thought for a moment, then turned to look at the heavy rain outside the window, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "If the rain doesn't stop at ten o'clock in the evening, then I'll be sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay." Tan Guiren was very enthusiastic and asked Huo Shaoheng: "It's getting late, let's go have dinner together. The Yangzhou cuisine cooked by Sister Fen is delicious."
The Tan family is from the south. Tan Guiren grew up eating Yangzhou cuisine cooked by the family chef. After she went abroad, she even brought a maid who knew how to cook Yangzhou cuisine with her.
Huo Shaoheng didn't like the bland taste of Yangzhou cuisine, but he didn't refuse. He nodded politely and said, "Thank you."
For Huo Shaoheng, when he appeared as the commander-in-chief of the Special Operations Department, he did not eat food from outside.
But when he was performing a mission and his surroundings were changing, he definitely couldn't be like this.
Eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink.
Today's dinner was something he had planned for a long time.
