Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1473 - You Two Can Start All Over Again

Chapter 1473: You Two Can Start All Over Again

“General He?” Gu Nianzhi had just woken up from her sleep and didn’t react for a moment. She said suspiciously, “Who is General He? I’ll go if he wants me to? Besides, who are you? Why should I go wherever you want me to go?”

She was standing at the door and saying these words, so she was recorded by the security cameras.

Not only had the He family’s security personnel seen her clearly, but He Chengjian, who was in the study, had also seen her.

Her high-spirited demeanor had attracted his attention.

He Chengjian’s gleaming almond-shaped eyes were slightly curved, and the deep lines at the corners of his eyes added to his charm.

He laughed and shook his head. “This little girl, why didn’t I know that she was so vigilant before?”

As he spoke, he stood up. “Go to the third floor.”

Gu Nianzhi’s room was on the third floor.

..

The maid in front of Gu Nianzhi looked at her with her tongue-tied. “Miss Gu, I’m Hui Lan, the He family’s housekeeper. Is there anything else you want to ask me?”

Gu Nianzhi folded her arms across her chest and looked her up and down. She nodded. “Yes, do you have an ID card?”

The maid Hui Lan: “...”

“The ID card is in my room.” She didn’t dare not to answer. “But General He wants to see you now. Please follow me down first, and I’ll show you my ID card.”

“That won’t do,”Gu Nianzhi refused flatly. “I don’t know you. What if you’re a bad person and want to trick me into going out to kidnap me or kill me?”

Hui Lan was speechless. She smiled wryly. “Miss Gu, I’m not a bad person.”

“How would I know whether or not you’re a bad person if I don’t know you?” Gu Nianzhi raised her head and almost tapped her foot. “Besides, bad people won’t carve words on their foreheads.”

Hui Lan had never seen such a vigilant little girl before. She could only say, “Then should I go get my Id?”

“Yes, hurry up for me to take a look.” Gu Nianzhi reached out and tapped her shoulder. “And ask Qin Zhining to come see me.”

“You mean Mr. Qin?” Hui Lan didn’t know that Qin Zhining had gone for surgery. She only said, “He’s gone home. Do you want to see him?”

“Yes, tell him to come see me.” Gu Nianzhi put on a expression of “I won’t go out until you ask Qin Zhining to come.”

The maid Hui Lan urged her for a long time, but Gu Nianzhi refused to follow her to General He’s study on the second floor. She had no choice but to put on a bitter expression. “Miss Gu, General He’s study is off-limits to most people. Why are you...”

“... I don’t know what’s good for me, do I?” Gu Nianzhi spoke up for her and said coldly, “I’m not familiar with this place, so I have to be extra careful. Please forgive me, Miss Hui Lan.”

“I don’t deserve it, I don’t deserve it.” The Maid Hui Lan left in a hurry and went to talk to her boss.

But just as she reached the stairs, she saw General He coming over with two personal secretaries.

She quickly bowed to make way and said in a low voice, “General He, Miss Gu doesn’t want to go...”

“General He knows, you can go down first.”

He Chengjian didn’t say anything. It was the personal secretary who spoke next to him.

The maid, Hui Lan, ran down to the third floor. She didn’t dare to stay there for even a moment.

All of their domestic workers were afraid of He Chengjian.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t good to them, but his aura was too terrifying.

The Huaxia Empire knew that although their country’s leader was General He of the military, Speaker Long of the Senate, and Prime Minister Xie of the cabinet, the one who made the decision was actually General He.

The other two didn’t dare to say no in front of him.

He had been in such a position for a long time, so naturally, his imposing presence wasn’t something that ordinary high-ranking officials could rival.

However, when he walked up to Gu Nianzhi, he realized that the little girl wasn’t afraid of him at all.

She sized him up, and her eyes suddenly lit up. “You’re... Professor He’s father?!”

They were so similar. They were so damn similar, especially the pair of gleaming almond-shaped eyes.

She had asked Qin Zhining about it when she saw it on television yesterday.

Now that she had seen him in person, she was even more certain that General He was He Zhichu’s father.

Gu Nianzhi felt slightly relieved when she thought of professor he.

Professor He was truly looking out for her. His father wouldn’t make things difficult for her, would he?

He Chengjian looked closely at Gu Nianzhi and thought to himself, I didn’t expect that crazy person to give birth to such a beautiful daughter. She really has changed after she got older...”

When she first came to their house when she was six years old, she was just an ordinary chubby little girl with an ordinary appearance. Only his silly son, He Zhichu, treated her like a treasure.

Of course, his first wife, Qin Suwen, also doted on this little girl.

Her appearance saved He Zhichu’s life.

He Chengjian was just like Qin Suwen; he was filled with gratitude towards Gu Nianzhi. He had always treated her as his own family member and daughter-in-law.

“You’re Gu Nianzhi?” He Chengjian’s attitude softened. “I heard you don’t want to see me?”

Gu Nianzhi’s face turned red. Her hands were clasped in front of her, and her fingers were almost twisted into a dough twist.

She whispered, “... I just arrived at a strange place. I can’t be careless... Mr. He, is Professor He home?”

He Chengjian said lightly, “He’s not back yet, but he’ll be back soon.”

He Zhichu must have realized what had happened by now.

He Chengjian believed that He Zhichu would be back soon.

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. “When will you send me back?”

“Back?” He Chengjian raised an eyebrow and narrowed his almond-shaped eyes. “This is your home. Where are you going?”

As he spoke, he walked into Gu Nianzhi’s room.

Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to make way and follow He Chengjian into the room.

The two personal secretaries stood at the door like door gods and closed the door behind them.

Gu Nianzhi and He Chengjian were the only two people in the spacious living room.

“Sit.” He Chengjian came in and like a host, he beckoned Gu Nianzhi to sit down.

Gu Nianzhi felt uncomfortable, but she still sat down properly.

She stared into He Chengjian’s eyes and asked, “Mr. He, you wanted to see me?”

“Yes, you just came back. We haven’t seen each other for seven years. I wanted to talk to you and ask if you’re used to living here. This is your home. If there’s anything you’re not used to, you must tell me immediately,” He Chengjian said gently.

He hadn’t said this to anyone in seven years.

He Zhichu hadn’t been able to recover from his illness since Gu Nianzhi suddenly disappeared from him seven years ago.

He flew into a rage and sent secret orders across the country to search for Gu Nianzhi and that lunatic.

For three whole years, the father and son had barely spoken to each othe.

It was only after they finally received news that Gu Nianzhi might have gone to the other side that He Zhichu got up from his bed and insisted on going to the other side to look for her.

He Chengjian’s expression changed unpredictably.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t know what He Chengjian was thinking, so she made up her mind to figure things out first.

“Mr. He, thank you for your hospitality.”Gu Nianzhi pointed at her head. “But I don’t remember what happened seven years ago. If you want to catch up with me, please forgive me.”

He Chengjian nodded. “I know you don’t remember what happened before you were 12.”

Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes and gripped her phone tightly with one hand.

“... But it doesn’t matter. In a few days, after your surgery, Zhichu will be back. You two can start over.”

He Chengjian kept quiet about Gu Nianzhi’s engagement to Huo Shaoheng and acted as if that had never happened.

Gu Nianzhi’s heart sank. Was this person really the one who had ordered for her to be brought back?

She thought about how she had been kidnapped and how they had managed to hide it from Huo Shaoheng. Other than this big shot, no one else had the ability or influence to do so, right?

Her deep, large eyes as black as ink, Gu Nianzhi looked up. “You sent people to kidnap me? Why did you do this? If you really thought of me as family, why would you use such a bloody method?!”

“Bloody?” He Chengjian scoffed. “If you don’t cooperate, they will naturally do whatever it takes to complete the mission.”

He Chengjian didn’t actually care about how those people carried out the mission. As long as the mission was completed, it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes in the process.

When a general was on the outside, he wouldn’t be subject to military orders.

He was a soldier, so he naturally knew this.

“Regardless of the cost? So you can even kill and injure innocent people?” Gu Nianzhi was angry and disappointed. “Professor He is so kind, but I didn’t expect his father to be such a person!”

He Chengjian didn’t care about Gu Nianzhi’s rude remarks. He only heard Gu Nianzhi say “Professor he is so kind” and couldn’t help smiling. “You just need to know that Zhichu was good to you. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Gu Nianzhi: “! ! !”

There was really no way to chat on this day.

She turned her head away angrily. “You’re breaking the law by doing this! Let me tell you!”

“Breaking the law?” He Chengjian was even more amused. “What kind of law did I break?”

“You instigated private armed forces, injured innocent citizens, and kidnapped me to this place against my will. And you’re saying that you didn’t break the law?” Gu Nianzhi was very clear when it came to the legal profession. “I never knew the Huaxia Empire allowed legal private armed forces!”

“The Huaxia Empire here isn’t the Huaxia Empire you know.” He Chengjian looked at her firmly and was intrigued by the way she talked about law. “You studied law over there?”

“Yes, I aspire to be the best lawyer.” Gu Nianzhi nodded.

“Looks like your memories before you were 12 haven’t completely disappeared.” He Chengjian frowned. “You’ve aspired to be the best lawyer since you were young.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

“That’s a coincidence. It means that a person’s desire is hidden deep inside their heart, just like instinct. Even if they lose their memories, they still know what they want to do.” Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes.

“That... makes sense.” He Chengjian nodded and stood up. “That’s enough. It’s good to know that you’re okay. Have some good rest and prepare for the surgery tomorrow.”

“What surgery?!” Gu Nianzhi was alarmed when she remembered what Wen Shouyi had said.

“The memory removal surgery.” He Chengjian looked at her and said calmly, “According to our law, you can’t keep your memories of the other dimension.”

“Why?!” Gu Nianzhi raised her chin slightly. “I’m not from your side. Your law doesn’t apply to me.”

He Chengjian had never heard anyone use such a method to refute his opinion. He smiled and put his hands in his trouser pockets. He said lightly, “Yes, that makes sense, but...”

He was about to continue when Qin Yaoguang’s voice came from the door. “Brother He? Nianzhi? Are you guys inside?”

Gu Nianzhi had never heard this voice before. She lowered her crossed arms and looked at He Chengjian.”... Who is that?”

He Chengjian’s face darkened. “Rude.”

As he spoke, he raised his voice and said to the door, “Yaoguang, come in.”
