Chapter 1339: Not Much Time Left
Gu Nianzhi looked up, then closed her eyes and said in a low mirthful voice, ” ... If you don’t come, the fairy will fly away...”
Huo Shaoheng’s sdam’s apple bobbed up and down as he pinched her waist hard then massaged it. Only then did he use his great willpower to pull himself away from her.
Back downstairs, he chatted with the four big shots and poured them tea and snacks. It wasn’t easy for him to calm down from the awe and excitement just now.
Xie Shenxing, General Ji, Speaker Long, and Prime Minister Bai had already started talking about business.
Huo Shaoheng’s official residence’s living room was one of the safest places in the entire Huaxia Empire.
There were many things to talk about here, so there was no need to worry about eavesdropping.
With concern, Xie Shenxing asked about the secret experiment that the military had cooperated with the Institute of High Energy Physics. “The major accident 17 years ago cannot be an obstacle to your continued progress. As far as I know, the United States has made great progress in this area. If we haven’t made a breakthrough yet, we will be far behind in this fourth industrial revolution.”
The Huaxia Empire had missed the first and second industrial revolutions, but now it was the 3rd.
Apart from the first industrial revolution, the 2nd and 3rd industrial revolutions were characterized by the renewal of energy.
The 4th Industrial Revolution was the advanced form of energy exchange, the development and application of magnetic energy.
In this regard, military technology was always at the forefront of civilian technology.
Every major breakthrough in science and technology began with the military.
For example, the network technology that swept the world in the last decade or so was the technology that was born in the secret laboratory of the United States military decades ago.
At first, it was only used on a small scale in the military, but later it was developed for civilian use.
Then, it became an indispensable daily routine in people’s lives.
General Ji quickly said, “Ever since Director Song recovered, we have begun to restart the preparation work for the experiment. Director Song was the only researcher who survived the experiment. With her as the leader, we believe that we can overcome the difficulties and find the reason for the previous failure and make new progress.”
Xie Shenxing nodded and said with relief, “That’s good. We can’t let go of this research for even a day. There hasn’t been any progress in the past 17 years. We don’t have much time left. We have to hurry up!”
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely try our best to catch up!”
General Ji, Speaker Long, and Prime Minister Bai all expressed their determination with very serious expressions.
This wasn’t just Xie Shenxing’s wish. It was also the wish of General Ji, Speaker Long, Prime Minister Bai, and tens of thousands of Huaxia Empire citizens
When Huo Shaoheng thought of the original data in his uncle’s safe and Gu Xiangwen’s letter, his heart skipped a beat.
How did Gu Xiangwen get in touch with his uncle?
He knew that the founding master in his line of work had many informants overseas, but these people only had one line of contact with him. They only recognized him alone and only sent him messages. They never contacted anyone else.
Moreover, after the old master passed away, many people cut off all contact with the Huaxia Empire and didn’t continue to be its informants.
In his later years, the old master refused to write his memoirs.
This was because he knew too many things and knew too many people. Many secrets couldn’t be revealed to the public, and he would rather take them to his grave.
Those people were willing to be used by him. In the end, there was only one word: trust.
The people who had contacted the old master weren’t ordinary people.
It wasn’t that they looked down on ordinary people, but they had important information that ordinary people couldn’t access.
You had to be in that position to be able to play a greater role.
Of course, there were some people who chose to continue working for the Huaxia Empire. However, the most powerful person had died in an American prison because of Bai Yusheng’s betrayal.
That was why those people had been even more afraid to contact them in the past.
There was nothing they could do about it.
Huo Shaoheng wondered if Gu Xiangwen, maintaining one-way contact with his uncle, Huo Guanyuan, was like those people who had been in one-way contact with the founding father.
And if Huo Guanyuan, abiding by their agreement without saying a word to anyone else, was like the founding father in their line of work.
The fact that the original data had been preserved and handed over to Huo Shaoheng was probably the result of many considerations.
For Huo Guanyuan, this was the best he could do, wasn’t it?
It would probably be impossible to find Gu Xiangwen’s contact information through him.
Huo Shaoheng frowned slightly. It seemed that this wasn’t the way to go, so he had to find another way.
Little Ze had to hurry up.
That day, General Ji, Speaker Long, and Prime Minister Bai stayed in Huo Shaoheng’s mansion until late into the night. They only left after having supper.
After sending the three big shots back, Xie Shenxing said to Huo Shaoheng, “I have to go back to the West Mountain Villa tomorrow. Nianzhi should come with me and stay at my place for a few days. Do you agree?”
Of course, Huo Shaoheng agreed. He added, “I have nothing to do these few days, so I’ll stay with you.”
Xie Shenxing: ” ... ”
Looking up at him, Xie Shenxing chuckled. “You can’t bear to let her go? Tsk Tsk, don’t worry, I won’t mistreat your little wife.”
Huo Shaoheng: ” ... ”
..
The next day had a good sunny weather. It was a little hot early in the morning.
Gu Nianzhi came down from upstairs. She was wearing a pair of thin white leggings. She was wearing an Isabel Marant flat-bottomed white sneakers and a dark blue cotton lycra t-shirt. It fit her perfectly and made her figure look dainty and slender.
Her hair was tied up in a bun, and her skin was fairer than snow. Her eyes were as clear as jade. Her lips were slightly glossy, as if she had put honey on them, and made him want to kiss her.
Huo Shaoheng looked up at her and thought to himself quietly: Her devilish aura is everywhere. Looks like I didn’t catch enough devils last night, so I’ll have to continue working hard... ”
After him “catching devils” last night, Gu Nianzhi looked like she was exhausted, but after she woke up, she was immediately energized and looked even more coquettish than yesterday.
“Major General Huo, I’m going to the West Mountain Villa with Granduncle today.” Gu Nianzhi carried a small suitcase with her daily necessities, a few sets of clothes, and her computer bag.
Huo Shaoheng helped her carry the suitcase and sent her out to the car. “Granduncle is already waiting in the car at the door. Why are you so slow?”
“Huh? Granduncle is that fast? I thought I was quite early.” Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. “It’s not even eight o’clock yet?”
“I’m old, so I don’t sleep that much.”
Huo Shaoheng went out with her. As expected, there was a rolls-Royce hybrid limousine parked at the entrance of the official residence.
Upon seeing that they had come out, a staff member got out of the rolls-Royce and helped Gu Nianzhi open the rear compartment.
Huo Shaoheng sent Gu Nianzhi inside and leaned towards his Granduncle, who was sitting inside. “You can go back with Nianzhi first. I’ll come to your place for dinner tonight?”
“Okay, we’ll wait for you to have dinner tonight, but for now, you can go back to your work.” Xie Shenxing said with a smile and waved for the door to be closed.
Huo Shaoheng: ” ... ”
After watching the cars leave, Huo Shaoheng turned around and called Chen Lie.
“Chen Lie, come with me to the Military General Hospital.”
Chen Lie was caught off guard. “Why are you going to the Military General Hospital? Are you sick?”
“It’s not me, it’s my grandfather,” Huo Shaoheng said calmly. “Hurry Up, don’t dawdle.
Chen Lie was originally a genius attending physician at the Military General Hospital. He had been recruited by Huo Shaoheng and became an attending physician of the Special Operations forces. However, he had his own position at the Military General Hospital.
Returning to the Military General Hospital was like returning to Chen Lie’s second office.
Chen Lie didn’t reject him directly. He asked, “Is your grandfather sick?”
He wasn’t just sick?
Huo Shaoheng didn’t know what to say at the moment. He could only say, “You’ll find out once you come with me.”
Chen Lie was a big shot. He was best at performing heart surgery.
..
He brought Chen Lie to the Special Care Ward of the Military General Hospital. He happened to see the members of the Zhang family poking their heads out of the door.
The person taking care of Huo Xuenong in the ward was one of Huo Guanchen’s orderlies.
“Major General Huo, you’re here?” The orderlies quickly stood up and saluted.
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand to suppress his salute and asked, “What are they doing here?”
” ... They said they’re here to take care of old Mr. Huo.” The orderlies said warily, “What do you think we should do? Should we let them stay, or...”
Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyes and said, “Since they’re willing to take care of him, let them take care of him. Just don’t leave either.”
“Of course I won’t leave.” The orderly quickly expressed his loyalty.
Chen Lie followed Huo Shaoheng into Huo Xuenong’s intensive care unit. He saw the equipment in the room and knew what kind of illness Huo Xuenong was suffering from.
He clicked his tongue and began to check the data on the monitoring equipment in the ward. He opened the small operating case that was comparable to a battlefield hospital, took out his own equipment, and began to check Huo Xuenong’s body again.
Next to him, the Zhang family was dumbfounded.
