What people at the embassy can actually do is very limited. Most of the time, they need authorization from domestic departments to act abroad. Nature's Novel
It was because this was too rigid and was a waste of time that Huo Shaoheng and his colleagues were born in the Special Operations Department.
The two American lawyers nodded repeatedly and sat in the small conference room, carefully filling in the resume information about Gu Nianzhi.
They were not familiar with Gu Nianzhi, but Gu Nianzhi was an employee of their law firm, and the law firm's Human Resources Department had Gu Nianzhi's detailed information.
The two American lawyers immediately contacted the American law firm. It was around two o'clock in the afternoon in the United States.
The two lawyers called back to the American law firm. After a lot of trouble, they finally contacted the human resources director of the American law firm directly and told them about Gu Nianzhi.
When the HR director of the law firm learned that Gu Nianzhi might have disappeared in Germany, he took it very seriously and immediately gave Gu Nianzhi's resume information to the two lawyers. At the same time, he sent a text message to a number that He Zhichu had specially left for the law firm's senior management.
This number is only known to the top management of the law firm, not to the people below.
He Zhichu once told them that if he returned to his hometown and the law firm had a very difficult matter that needed to be resolved quickly, they could send a text message to this number. Otherwise, they should never contact this number.
In so many years, they have indeed never used this number to contact He Zhichu. This is the first time.
In order to appease the two American lawyers, the law firm's HR director told them: "I have forwarded the news to Attorney He, and he will contact you."
The human resources director of the law firm knew why Gu Nianzhi was recruited at the beginning, and after he was recruited, he chose to take him with him and teach him personally.
According to the rules, Gu Nianzhi is a rookie lawyer who has just joined the firm, and it is impossible for him to be led by a barrister and partner of He Zhichu's level to rise to the top in one fell swoop.
But what are the rules
Rules are meant to be broken.
He Zhichu personally told him to take care of Gu Nianzhi, and the law firm's human resources department would not be ungrateful and must tell him the rules.
The law is nothing more than human relationships, and those who can reach high levels are all human beings.
Two American lawyers at the Embassy of the Chinese Empire in Munich heard that it had been reported to He Zhichu, and immediately said: "We also tried to contact Lawyer He, but his phone number couldn't be reached. He kept leaving a voicemail."
"Really? I don't know about that, but I have already sent him a text message to see if he will call you back." The director of the human resources department pretended to say that he had tried his best and did not say that the number belonged to the person below. knew…
The two lawyers saw that the law firm had done their best and didn't ask for anything more.
They filled out Gu Nianzhi's resume at the consulate before saying goodbye.
This resume is of course the identity that Gu Nianzhi can project in the Chinese Empire, including the later revelation that her father is Gu Xiangwen, which is also on the American law firm's information sheet.
When the vice-consul of the Chinese Empire's Embassy in Munich first saw this information sheet, he didn't realize who Gu Nianzhi was.
This was because the vice-consul had not known Gu Nianzhi before, and he had never been related to Huo Shaoheng and the others at their level, level, and department.
And now Gu Nianzhi's own situation has also changed.
First, after Gu Nianzhi's father, Gu Xiangwen, was found, she changed her passport and nationality. It was no longer the identity given to her by the Special Operations Department before, but she was re-naturalized in the Chinese Empire as a citizen of Barbados. This was also the legal identity she used to go abroad this time. identity.
And because her identity has been found out, someone used this as a reason to lower her security level. She is no different from ordinary citizens of the Chinese Empire and no longer enjoys the highest security level status given to her by Huo Shaoheng.
Because of these two points, the deputy consul did not realize the seriousness of the problem when he checked Gu Nianzhi's identity information in the consulate. He systematically reported the news of Gu Nianzhi's disappearance to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at home, waiting for domestic review to confirm that they could take action. scope of action.
However, the two lawyers did not know these procedures. After they returned to the Hilton Hotel from the embassy, they chatted and had a good impression of the staff of the Embassy of the Chinese Empire in Munich. The two of them got things done smoothly and were in a happy mood.
After returning to his room and tidying up, he saw Smith and another colleague coming back with dark faces.
Well, looking at the droopy faces of these two people, they knew that their trip was not going well.
"What's going on? Don't tell me that you just went to report the case, but the other party refused to file a case!" A lawyer exaggerated, originally just wanting to make a joke.
Unexpectedly, Smith rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What a bunch of pigs! How dare they not open a case!"
Everyone:"… "
"You really got what I said? Why?!" The lawyer who just joked was very puzzled, "How can such a thing not be filed?!"
"Let me tell you, the police officers in the Munich Regional Police Station are not ordinary. First of all, we are not Lawyer Gu's immediate family members and cannot report the case to her. Smith retorted and said that Lawyer Gu is an adult and does not need direct relatives. When relatives reported the case, they immediately said that we had too little evidence and wouldn't even file a case for us. They said that maybe Attorney Gu was just having fun and forgot to contact us, or they just refused to admit that she was missing!"
Another lawyer who went to the police station with Smith to report the case kept shaking his head and sighed: "What can we do?! They are such bastards! I bet that Lawyer Gu didn't forget to contact us just for fun!"
"Do you still have common sense?!"
The other two lawyers who had just returned from the Embassy of the Chinese Empire in Munich were also angry, "This is too much! At this time, their embassy needs to come forward!"
"By the way, how about you going to the embassy of Lawyer Gu's country? What are they going to do?" Smith poured himself a glass of red wine, shook it in his hand, and drank it in one gulp.
"Oh, their embassy is great! The vice-consul came out to see us in person and asked us to fill out an information form about Lawyer Gu. He seemed to want to ask for instructions from his superiors."
A lawyer who went to the Chinese Empire's Embassy in Munich began to say that the situation there was obviously much better than Smith's.
"Really?" Smith finally felt better. "If they can come forward to report the case in person, I don't think these police idiots would dare not to file a case!"
He slammed the red wine glass and placed it on the bar in the room.
Another lawyer also said: “We also directly called the director of the human resources department of the American law firm at that time. He happened to be in the office and sent us Attorney Gu’s information. He also said that he had already sent it to Attorney He. I sent a text message to let him know about it.”
Gu Nianzhi was He Zhichu's personal lawyer. If something happened to her, He Zhichu would definitely notify her.
"I sent a text message to Attorney He? Did it work? Does the director know that Attorney He's cell phone has been unreachable?" Smith asked suspiciously, "Each of the four of us has called countless times, and we still haven't received a reply!"
He slapped the table with his hand. In the midst of his indignation, he suddenly heard his cell phone ringing. He took it out impatiently and looked at it, and was stunned.
"Yes... it's Lawyer He's phone number!"
Smith trembled while holding the phone and shouted excitedly.
After being unable to contact He Zhichu for so many days, they almost despaired.
The other three people in the room were also excited. They didn't speak and looked at Smith attentively.
Smith simply pressed the speaker phone.
He Zhichu's voice came from the microphone of the mobile phone. It was the American English with the "r" sound that they were used to, "... What happened? The director of the Human Resources Department didn't explain clearly. What happened to Nian Zhi?"
Smith took a deep breath and said in a deep voice into the microphone of his mobile phone: "...Lawyer Gu, he has been missing since ten days ago."
There was no word on the other side of the phone for a long time. I don't know if He Zhichu didn't understand or was shocked. In short, there was silence for a long time. It wasn't until Smith thought that the other side had hung up the phone that he heard He Zhichu's voice. He Simply said: "I'll be right back." Then hung up the phone.
Smith and the three lawyers in the room looked at each other for a while, then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Okay, Lawyer He will be back soon."
Once he comes back, they have a backbone.
…
In He Zhichu's room, he sat in front of the window, resting his head on one hand and the other on the sofa armrest, looking motionless at the scenery outside the window.
It was evening, and the sun that was about to set was like a round salted egg yolk, clinging to the western sky, emitting its last trace of residual heat.
There is a huge ginkgo tree outside the window. When the evening wind blows, countless small yellow and green leaves like small fans fall.
A woman wearing plain silk clothes and trousers was carrying a small rattan basket and was bending down to pick up fallen leaves under the ginkgo tree.
As if she felt someone looking in her direction, the woman raised her head and smiled in the direction of He Zhichu's window. It was Wen Shouyi.
He Zhichu didn't look at her. His eyes were looking in the direction of the ginkgo tree. He was actually thinking about Gu Nianzhi.
How could it be such a coincidence
As soon as he left, something happened to Nianzhi...
It was like this last time, and it was like this last time...
Such things happened again and again, and He Zhichu had to think that there were still people holding him back around him.
He thought he had eliminated those people long ago, but now it seems that he has not yet.
The biggest culprit is still lurking around him.
No matter who this person is or what his identity is, once he finds out, he will definitely be tortured to the point of death!
This is also the reason why He Zhichu doesn't want to bring Gu Nianzhi back yet.
Because he can't be sure that his side is completely safe.
He originally thought that Gu Nianzhi was absolutely safe with Huo Shaoheng, so he would rather make himself feel extremely uncomfortable than let Nianzhi stay with Huo Shaoheng. Now it seems that this is not the case.
He Zhichu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples to calm down his anger.
After a while, he picked up the phone and told his men: "Get ready now, I'm going to Germany."
Ten minutes later, He Zhichu went to Mr. He's room to say goodbye, made some arrangements, and only left home after getting Mr. He's consent.
By the time Wen Shouyi received the news and arrived, He Zhichu had already left.
"Aunt Qin, has the young master left already?" Wen Shouyi asked worriedly, "The old man has just completed a craniotomy, and he dares to leave alone?"
Aunt Qin was sitting in her room, patiently arranging flowers. She selected fresh flowers from the greenhouse from the flower basket, and said lightly: "The old man's operation was successful, and he has no worries. Besides..."
Aunt Qin stopped talking and smiled. A flash of lightning seemed to light up in the dark room. The light was dazzling and could not be looked at.
She slowly turned back and glanced at Wen Shouyi, "Ayi, come here, help Aunt Qin finish arranging the flowers."
Wen Shouyi walked over, knelt down next to Aunt Qin, and patiently helped her arrange the remaining flowers and grass one by one.
Aunt Qin's hand touched her shoulder. The hand was as white and greasy as if it were carved from mutton-fat jade. It was even colder than real mutton-fat jade. "It's better, Ah Yi, I won't say anything, You can make the flower arrangement exactly as I want it to be.”
"I was taught by Aunt Qin, how can I not understand your thoughts?" Wen Shouyi smiled good-naturedly, not daring to look at Aunt Qin's face.
She is so beautiful that every time I look at her, I can't help but lose consciousness because she is a woman.
But Mr. He...
Oh, why are you so expressionless
Ever since Mr. He's first wife passed away, even stunning women like Aunt Qin have been ignored.
But such single-minded infatuation and affection have an irresistible attraction to women.
Is Aunt Qin like this too
Wen Shouyi silently held up the arranged flowers and said, "Should these flowers be placed in the old man's room?"
"No." Aunt Qin sighed leisurely, "We can't go in until the old man can get up."
"What?!" Wen Shouyi cried out, "How can that be done?! Aunt Qin, you and Mr. He are husband and wife!"
Although she is the stepmother, she is also the wife of Ming Media.
Aunt Qin shook her head indifferently, "How dare those people disobey the eldest son's order? But it doesn't matter. As long as the old man gets better, I can do whatever he asks me to do." As she said that, she put her mutton-fat jade-like hand on In her belly, here, there is a new life.
Wen Shouyi sighed and praised: "Aunt Qin, the human heart is made of flesh. Given time, I will be able to understand your heart."
"Let me lend you some good words." Aunt Qin tilted her head and looked out the window. Her big eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars, and her whole body lit up.
…
At 7 a.m. the next day, a private plane flying from Boston, USA, parked at the Munich International Airport in Germany.
He Zhichu got off the plane with an expressionless face, was surrounded by people, and walked out of the airport through the special VIP channel.
After coming out of the airport customs, a customized Rolls-Royce Phantom extended bulletproof car was already parked at the entrance of the airport, waiting for He Zhichu to get on.
The Munich police were notified in advance and even provided two police cars. The police cars cleared the way and took He Zhichu to the Hilton Hotel.
Pedestrians and vehicles on the road dodged one after another. Everyone looked curiously at the Rolls-Royce Phantom surrounded by police cars. Which Guoyuan was in it
"I didn't know that any foreign dignitaries visited our Munich recently?"
"Maybe it will be a private visit." Someone murmured, "This way it won't be reported in the news, but the specifications of the reception will not change."
"Oh, that's possible."
Everyone was gossiping that someone took pictures of He Zhichu's Rolls-Royce Phantom car on social media, asking everyone to guess which country's top officials came to Munich privately.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he was immediately deleted from the entire network, and the IP address of the person who uploaded the photos was blocked, and his mobile phone immediately received a warning call from the police, saying that he had secretly taken photos of others and posted them without the consent of the car owner. Going on social media is offending others and will result in punitive claims.
If nothing else, a punitive claim alone is more frightening than jail time.
If you are in jail, as long as it is not a life sentence, you will be released one day.
However, punitive claims will keep you in poverty for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to hold your head up.
For such people, a fine is more painful than jail time.
As a result, no one would dare to upload photos of the Rolls-Royce Phantom in which He Zhichu was riding.
He Zhichu returned to the entrance of the Hilton Hotel as quickly as possible.
Smith and the others received a call early in the morning, saying that He Zhichu would be arriving at the hotel soon.
They immediately dressed up and waited for He Zhichu's arrival at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel.
When the Rolls-Royce Phantom surrounded by police cars appeared, Smith and the others had no idea that it was originally a special car.
So when He Zhichu got out of the car and walked to the lobby of the Hilton Hotel with a group of bodyguards and entourage, Smith and the others were stunned. They were stunned for a while, then hurriedly followed and shouted: "Lawyer He !”
He Zhichu stopped and looked back. He saw Smith and the four of them rushing over. He nodded, waved his right hand gently, and the bodyguard beside him immediately moved out of the way.
Smith and the others came over and were so shocked by He Zhi's scene that they were speechless.
He stood among the group of tough bodyguards and entourage, still with a cold and indifferent expression, and his peach blossom eyes without any emotion. Although his body was not as thick as those of the bodyguards, his momentum was unparalleled. The enemy is like a king, dominating the world.
Smith couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
This is a completely different mental state than when He Zhichu became the boss.
"He... Lawyer He..." Smith greeted cautiously, his eyes constantly glancing at the bodyguards and bodyguards around He Chu.
It seemed that only ten days had passed. He Zhichu, who was indifferent and taciturn, but elegant and modest, disappeared. Now he is strange and familiar to those who knew him before.
He Zhichu knew what Smith and the others were thinking by looking at their expressions, but he was in no mood at the moment and had no time to explain to them.
"Follow me." He Zhichu said lightly, turned and walked into the hotel lobby and entered the elevator.
Smith and the others quickly followed and took a seat in the elevator, which was crowded with bodyguards.
