After Bai Yueran left, Huo Shaoheng sat alone in the office, looking at the blue screen of the computer and thinking for a long time.
Bai Yueran's words are not unreasonable.
He obtained authorization from the military ministry and parliament to monitor the cabinet. He also used Gu Xiangwen's patent to involve national interests and took the opportunity to monitor Gu Yanran. Later, because Ye Xuan produced the Gu family's property list, he also monitored Ye Xuan.
But from a legal perspective, monitoring a public authority like the cabinet government is a completely different concept from monitoring ordinary citizens like Gu Yanran and Ye Xuan.
Why the snowden incident in the United States caused such a stir and made the U.S. government disgraced is not because it monitors government officials, but because it conducts indiscriminate surveillance on ordinary American citizens. This is a heinous violation of personal privacy in modern society.
Although the United States has its own "Patriot Act" to protect its surveillance behavior, in fact, it also knows that it is untenable, so it never dares to make it public.
As we all know, after this incident was made public by Snowden, it was immediately unanimously condemned by public opinion around the world. No one considered whether this behavior was legal or not, and the political impact it had on the US government was extremely bad.
Moreover, in modern society, whether it is legal or not is a relative concept.
The legislative body can create many unbelievable laws in a minute, and it can also abolish many laws that are taken for granted in a minute.
For upper-level officials like them, in addition to the law, they also have to consider the influence on citizens, especially the political influence on the Special Operations Department.
He will not forget that when the Special Operations Department was created, the upper echelons of the parliament, cabinet and military were very suspicious. That was that they had too much power and would they expand their scope of operations into the country
And did he really pay inappropriate attention to Gu Nianzhi's case
If these actions are mastered by Gu Yanran, there is no doubt that they will cause an unexpected blow to Gu Nianzhi in court, and even twist the entire property dispute case into an attempt by the Chinese Empire's military to use public power to seize foreigners' private assets.
As a result, Gu Nianzhi had no chance of winning.
And it will push the behind-the-scenes organization of the Special Operations Division to the forefront.
No matter which aspect, he couldn't bear it.
He couldn't let the credibility of the Special Operations Division he founded suffer a fatal blow, but he couldn't let Gu Nianzhi suffer a loss either.
After much deliberation, Huo Shaoheng had only one conclusion: there was an expert behind Gu Yanran, and this expert was very familiar with the way their Chinese empire operated.
He stared ahead expressionlessly, playing with a round gold coin in his hand. Suddenly, he put the gold coin on the table with a snap, then pocketed the gold coin with his fingers, put it away in his palm, and picked up the intercom phone. , issued a series of instructions to cancel all actions to monitor Gu Yanran and Ye Xuan.
Then he stood up from his desk, hooked up the navy blue tweed uniform jacket on the coat rack, shook his arms, put it on over his shirt, and strode out of the office.
After picking up the car, Huo Shaoheng drove directly to the second-hand house Gu Nianzhi bought in Hepingli, Fourth Ring Road.
While using the key card to open the door, Huo Shaoheng sent a text message to Gu Nianzhi: Come to the new house in Hepingli to discuss important matters.
He rarely sent text messages to Gu Nianzhi. This time, in order to show caution, he used text messages.
Gu Nianzhi just walked out of the classroom when he saw Huo Shaoheng's text message.
She had two classes in the morning and had just finished them. She had to go to the library to catch up on her homework.
When she saw the text message, she hesitated for a second and then returned the call.
Huo Shaoheng was sitting on the lounge chair on the balcony. He had just lit a cigarette when he heard the phone ringing. He took it and slid it away. His deep and magnetic voice said slowly: "Nianzhi? Is get out of class over?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "Master Huo, what's the matter?"
"Well, come here when you have time." Huo Shaoheng looked up at the sky outside. It was a little gray. The northwest wind blew from the grassland, bringing sand and cold, and the temperature dropped quickly.
"Is there anything we can't talk about on the phone?" Gu Nianzhi got on his bicycle, "I still have to go to the library to do my homework."
Huo Shaoheng got up and went to the living room to turn on the air conditioner and adjust the temperature to a constant temperature of 23 degrees. He said at the same time: "It's better to say it in person. It's safer here."
The precautions they take here ensure that their words cannot be listened to.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood, "I'll be right away."
She didn't go back to her dormitory, she just got on her bicycle and rushed to Hepingli Community.
Originally, I wanted to buy a house conveniently near the school.
It only took Gu Nianzhi fifteen minutes to take a shortcut to Hepingli Community.
She locked her bicycle in the pavilion downstairs and went upstairs alone carrying her schoolbag.
Arriving at the door of her room, she had just taken out the key card, and the door had already opened from the inside, and Huo Shaoheng's tall and straight figure appeared behind the door.
"Come in." Huo Shaoheng stepped aside, his face calm, his eyes calm, and his calm demeanor calmed Gu Nianzhi's anxious heart.
She walked in with a smile and looked at her room first, "When did Mr. Huo come?"
"It takes less than half an hour." Huo Shaoheng said casually as if he were at home, "What would you like to drink?"
"... I want to drink beer, okay?" Gu Nianzhi said with a half-smile, put down his schoolbag and threw it on the sofa.
"Of course not." Huo Shaoheng turned and walked to the kitchen without thinking, "I'll get you milk."
Tsk, if I had known this to be the case, why would you still ask
Gu Nianzhi secretly made a face in her heart, but did not say it out loud. She sat on the sofa, straightened her legs, and took a long breath.
After a while, Huo Shaoheng came out holding a tray with a glass of warm milk and a small plate of muffins.
Gu Nianzhi had just finished class and was really hungry. He drank half a glass of milk without any ceremony and then ate a muffin.
Huo Shaoheng sat on the sofa opposite her with a glass of Pu'er in his hands, looking at her intently.
Gu Nianzhi finished drinking the milk, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Huo Shaoheng lowered his head to take a sip of tea, put the tea cup on the coffee table in front of him, and said slowly: "Because I don't know what consequences this matter will have on your property dispute case, I plan to make it clear to you in advance."
This way, Gu Yanran would not wait until the court, and Gu Nianzhi was caught off guard.
Gu Nianzhi sat up straight and his face became serious, "Is it related to my case against Gu Yanran?"
"Well." Huo Shaoheng leaned back on the sofa, folded his arms, and spoke in a low and melodious voice, "That's right, since Ye Xuan gave you the Gu family's property list, we started to monitor Ye Xuan and Gu Yanran. Then we found out , Ye Xuan also told Gu Yanran about this matter."
"... Uh..." Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but stroke his forehead, "Ye Xuan has lingering feelings for Gu Yanran..."
Huo Shaoheng involuntarily touched his chin with one hand, and wisely did not make any judgment on emotional issues. His voice was calm and steady, and he added: "The two of them had a big fight later, and then, Gu Yanran went to Ye Xuan's office building. …”
Gu Nianzhi listened attentively. When he heard Gu Yanran talking to Ye Xuan about her father Gu Xiangwen's lawyer in the United States, his expression suddenly changed, "Oh no! Ye Xuan just said goodbye to me and said he was going to the United States to meet a lawyer. Man, is he just going to see this lawyer?!"
"Ye Xuan went to the United States?" Huo Shaoheng was slightly startled. He quickly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhao Liangze, asking him to make arrangements for them to follow Ye Xuan secretly in the field in the United States to see what he wanted to do.
Because Ye Xuan went to the United States, the Special Operations Division had much greater freedom of action.
Gu Nianzhi felt relaxed after seeing Huo Shaoheng making arrangements.
Huo Shaoheng then told Gu Nianzhi everything he knew, and finally said: "I am telling you these things not to claim credit, but... Gu Yanran actually found out that she was being monitored by us and has already complained to us to the relevant agencies of the parliament."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
"For the sake of your case, and for the sake of our organization, I have decided to cancel all surveillance on Gu Yanran and Ye Xuan." Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi deeply, "From now on, you can only rely on yourself for this case. "
Gu Nianzhi understood what Huo Shaoheng had done for her case...
She was extremely grateful and said hurriedly: "I understand, you... you don't actually have to be like this... It's not good for you, and it's not good for your organization. I will find a way myself. No matter how hard Gu Yanran tries, she won't My opponent."
She was confident that she could defeat Gu Yanran's machinations. Even if she didn't know the situation, she was confident that she could adapt accordingly.
"Don't appreciate it?" Huo Shaoheng tilted his head jokingly, his handsome profile attracting Gu Nianzhi's eyes like a magnet.
She used all her strength to retract her gaze, lowered her head and said, "Of course not, I am not a ungrateful person."
Whether one person has intentions for another person, the other person can definitely feel it.
Huo Shaoheng stood up, walked to Gu Nianzhi and sat down.
Gu Nianzhi felt that the sofa beside him had sunk deeply.
She tilted that way involuntarily, as if throwing herself into a hug, and accidentally fell into Huo Shaoheng's arms.
Huo Shaoheng hugged her and said with a smile: "... You came here on your own, I didn't force you."
Gu Nianzhi shook his head sheepishly.
Huo Shaoheng tightened his arms slightly and said warmly above her head: "Okay, let me hold you for a while. After today, I can't see you until your lawsuit is over."
"Ah? Why?" Gu Nianzhi asked involuntarily. She looked up at his graceful jaw in Huo Shaoheng's arms, her eyes full of doubts and confusion.
"To avoid suspicion." Huo Shaoheng looked down at her bright, watery eyes and moist red lips, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips.
Gu Nianzhi didn't avoid it this time, and obediently let him kiss her. Her big eyes flickered, and her long eyelashes were like two rows of small fans, covering up the lingering nostalgia deep in her eyes.
