Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1465 - The Righteous Turns Into a Scoundrel

Chapter 1465: The Righteous Turns Into a Scoundrel

The man looked at Gu Nianzhi from the corner of his eyes with an expression that said, “I’ll watch you quietly.” He said calmly, “In your eyes, am I a fool? I spent so much manpower and resources, but I ended up bringing back a fake?”

Gu Nianzhi sniffed a little and looked up. She was choked by the man’s expression.

“... What do you mean? Don’t you believe me?” Gu Nianzhi felt even more wronged. She couldn’t stop crying at the thought of how anxious Major General Huo was.

To begin with, she cried easily. Half of it was an act, and the other half was genuine discomfort, so she cried even harder than usual.

She didn’t make a sound, but her tears rolled down her fair skin like broken beads.

Her shoulders twitched, and she bit her lower lip. Her delicate nose quivered gently, and her large, misty eyes looked at the man accusingly. She cried so hard that her heart was broken.

The man had not expected Gu Nianzhi to cry so easily. He frowned in disgust.

He wanted to ignore her, but seeing that she had been crying for ten minutes and did not seem to be stopping anytime, he could not take it anymore.

He took out tissue and handed it to Gu Nianzhi. “Why are you crying? It’s not like I’m going to do anything to you.”

Gu Nianzhi was still sobbing when she heard that there was a chance. She took the tissue from the man and wiped her face and choked,”... You’re not going to do anything to me? That’s all lies! I saw your people shoot my friend more than 10 times!”

“Do you know how miserable it was? She was covered in blood...” Gu Nianzhi recalled Xiao Ye lying in a pool of blood, and finally she sobbed, “You used this method to force me out; you still dare say you won’t do anything to me? What else do you want to do to me? Wil you only be satisfied when you shoot me that many times and fill my body with holes?”

The man was stunned and said in disbelief, “What? She was really shot?”

“Why would I lie to you? What’s the point of lying to you? You people are so evil. Do you want me to thank you for not killing me?!”

“You’re such bullies! You’re the ones who treat me like an idiot!”

“You keep saying that you want to take me home! You even said that you knew me when I was young!”

“Are you really my family? Why would you commit such madness?!”

“If you really knew me as a child, why would you look at me with such disdain?!”

Gu Nianzhi almost cursed the man with his fingers pinched together.

She had always been eloquent, and the man did not want to argue with her. Moreover, what she said was very different from what he had previously known.

Therefore, the man did not retort. He smoked silently for a while before saying, “Whether you believe it or not, I have never received an order to... kill anyone.”

Although he was not in the same system as the four men, he knew their style of doing things. They should not be so violent.

Moreover, with their skills and equipment, it was entirely possible for them to quietly take Gu Nianzhi away without alerting anyone.

He also did not understand how this could have happened.

He looked carefully at Gu Nianzhi. She did not look like she was lying. Moreover, what was the point of saying such lies? It could be exposed with a single poke.

It was better to investigate it properly when he got back.

The man’s slender fingers tapped the steering wheel rhythmically as he silently considered his plan of action.

Gu Nianzhi cried as she pondered whether he was telling the truth or not.

If he was telling the truth, then it could be disintegrated. If he was lying, then this man was quite capable of lying to her face.

Gu Nianzhi threw the tissues that she used to wipe away her tears into the small trash can in the car and sobbed, “... Is there any more tissue?”

The man speechlessly handed her another stack of wet tissues.

Gu Nianzhi took them and moistened her hands. She looked up at the man and asked, “Who exactly are you? What’s your name? What do you want to do? You look like a soldier; why did you have to take this path and become a bandit?”

Then she added, “Why did you turn from the path of righteousness to the path of evil?”

Her big eyes had just been washed by tears. They were even darker and shinier. The brilliance like those of gemstones lit her face.

The man looked away and was silent for a while. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He said uncomfortably, “I’m Qin Zhining. You knew me when you were young. I was ordered to bring you home.”

It was indeed related to the memory she had forgotten.

Gu Nianzhi’s breathing stopped for a moment, and her heart suddenly beat so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.

“Don’t panic, don’t panic, speak properly...”

She took two deep breaths and closed her eyes. She felt that this man really didn’t seem to have any ill intentions, and that he was somewhat different from the four malicious kidnappers.

She asked in a whisper, “Your name is Qin Zhining? You said I knew you when I was young? You were ordered to bring me home?”

“Yes,” Qin Zhining nodded.

“But my home is right here, in the capital of the Huaxia Empire. Where else are you taking me?” Gu Nianzhi was confused.

Qin Zhining looked at her with a frown. “... Did you really lose your memory?”

Gu Nianzhi replied listlessly with a sullen face, “Yes, I lost my memory seven years ago. I really don’t remember.”

She cupped her head and knocked it against the car window. “Actually, I really want to remember what happened in the past, but just thinking about it gives me a headache...”

The intense, tearing headache felt like someone was holding a blunt knife and trying to cut her brain in half.

“If you can’t remember, then don’t try to remember it,” Qin Zhining sighed. “It’s good to forget those things.”

He finished his cigarette and casually threw the butt away. He rolled up the car window and said, “Since we’re here, let’s see where this place is.”

Gu Nianzhi felt something was wrong. “What do you mean? Don’t you know where this place is?”

Qin Zhining didn’t even look at her. He pushed open the car door and got out. “...There’s a slight accident. This isn’t the place I want to take you back to.”

Gu Nianzhi, “...”

F*ck!

So the kidnapper was lost?!

Gu Nianzhi stared at Qin Zhining’s tall and sturdy back. She didn’t know what to say.

“Do you want to go take a look?” Qin Zhining turned to look at her. “The car has no electricity left. It can’t start, so we have to walk.”

Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to talk anymore.

This unreliable kidnapper!

She got out of the car aggrievedly and followed Qin Zhining onto the island. It took them four hours to walk one round around the island.

Her legs were almost crippled along the way, but the man in front of her was still unhurried. He looked around as if he was enjoying a holiday in nature.

They measured with their steps and found that it was a very small island. They didn’t know where it was on the sea.

Both her and Qin Zhining’s phones had run out of battery, and the car battery had run out, so they could not charge their phones.

Therefore, they could not use their phones to determine their location, nor could they use their phones to communicate with the outside world.

“But how did we get here?” Gu Nianzhi was so tired that she was panting. “I remember 15 minutes before we came here, we were still on the Third Ring Road in the capital, right?”

Qin Zhining nodded. “Yes, it’s advanced technology. You don’t have to understand.”

Gu Nianzhi, “...”

F*CK your advanced tech!

Gu Nianzhi wanted to curse.

She rolled her eyes. “... This high-tech is too unreliable, isn’t it? It actually threw us to this godforsaken place.”

Qin Zhining finally looked at her and smiled. “If it was reliable, it wouldn’t be called high-tech.”

Gu Nianzhi, “...”

Their survey of the island was not without any rewards. The two of them found a house not far from where the car was parked.

They could tell that it used to be someone else’s vacation home. It was a small two-story house that looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time.

Qin Zhining opened the door to the house and went in to take a look. “Well stay here for the day. I’ll check the battery in the car to see if it’s still salvageable.”

Gu Nianzhi stood in front of the house with hope in her heart. Her big eyes sparkled. “Is there no charger in this house?”

Qin Zhining shook his head. “There’s not even electricity here. Why would there be a charger?”

This was quite primitive.

Gu Nianzhi pretended to be curious and walked into the house to take a look.

Qin Zhining seemed to be very assured of her. He went back to the car alone to get a toolbox and started checking the battery.

Gu Nianzhi’s heart was pounding. She walked into the small building and looked out the window at Qin Zhining. Seeing that he had opened the front cover of the car and was engrossed in checking the battery, he didn’t seem to care at all, so she immediately put her arms around her waist and ran out the back door.

Out of Qin Zhining’s sight, Gu Nianzhi hurried to the small forest that she noticed when they were surveying the island just now.

Although the island was small, there were quite a few coconut trees and shrubs. The mountain rocks stood tall, and the streams gurgled. The scenery was indeed not bad.

Gu Nianzhi had experienced escaping in the Alps before, so this time she was very familiar with it. She quickly dived into the forest.

Although this place was small, it would not be easy for Qin Zhining to find her by himself.

Although it was bright and hot on the island, it was still quite cool in the forest.

She entered a dense forest.

As soon as she entered the dark forest from the sunny outside, there was a moment of darkness in her eyes before she got accustomed to it.

After she got used to the darkness, she saw that the scenery here was indeed pretty. There were strands of rime of various lengths hanging from the trees like ropes.

She was about to walk over when she suddenly saw a strand of rime that seemed to wiggle a little.

What was that?

When she finally understood what was going on, she suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream. Then, she frantically turned around, as if there was a ghost chasing her from behind, and quickly ran back the way she came.

“Help! Help!”

Gu Nianzhi ran and screamed, and her heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the entire island.

Qin Zhining looked up from the front of the car, and Gu Nianzhi shot behind him. She grabbed him from behind, her whole body trembling. “Snakes! So many snakes! Hanging from trees! Ahhhhh...”

She was trembling so much that she was almost going crazy.

Qin Zhining didn’t like physical contact with her, so he grabbed her wrist and wrested it away. He turned around and was about to scold her when he suddenly saw that her eyes were blank and she was about to break down. His hand that was holding her wrist paused and let go of one hand, he gently patted her back and said calmly, “It’s okay. The snake won’t come after you if you run into the Sun.”

Gu Nianzhi was trembling all over.

Qin Zhining comforted her for a long time, but in the end, he had no choice but to carry her into the car.

Gu Nianzhi curled up into a ball and buried her head in her knees. She curled up in the back seat like an ostrich.

Qin Zhining thought for a moment and asked, “Where are the snakes?”

Gu Nianzhi did not look up. She pointed ahead and said, “Just go out from behind that house. About five hundred meters from the path, there’s a small forest...”

“What did you go there for?” Qin Zhining frowned and then understood. He smiled coldly and rubbed his fists. “You want to run? Run! If you have the guts, don’t come back!”

Gu Nianzhi was originally very afraid, but Qin Zhining’s words successfully provoked her anger. She couldn’t care less about her fear. She looked up and said angrily, “You think I don’t want to run?! If it weren’t for those snakes, I would have run far away!”

Qin Zhining had never known that someone could say such a shameless thing in front of him so righteously!

“Haha, you really are spoiled,” Qin Zhining stared at her for a while and shook his head. “Do you think you make sense? Let me tell you, no one has ever escaped from me, Qin Zhining. If you’re the first, I’ll change my surname to yours for the rest of my life!”
