Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1537 - Have A Chance Today

Chapter 1537: Have A Chance Today

A flash of panic flashed across Dresden’s eyes as he stammered,”... I don’t understand what you mean...”

He Zhichu’s face was grim as he strode over. He grabbed Dresden by the collar, and punched him in the face!

Dresden’s head was knocked to the side as he spat out a mouthful of blood. One of his teeth had been knocked out.

“You... what are you doing?! I’m here to join your country! You can’t treat me like this! I want to see your prime minister and Speaker!” Dresden covered his face and glared at He Zhichu.

He Zhichu didn’t waste time with him. He took out his phone from his pocket, grabbed Dresden’s finger, and pressed it open.

“This is my phone! You can’t invade my privacy!” Dresden had been bluffing and shouting just a moment ago. Now, he was so terrified that even his voice had changed. It was extremely hoarse.

Standing next to him, the Ace of the Far East might have felt that he was too noisy, so he struck the back of his neck with a knife and knocked him unconscious.

“Let’s go!” He Zhichu quickly changed the password of Dresden’s phone and made a hand gesture. He led them away from the dock and back to the Four Seasons Hotel where they had stayed previously.

Dresden was sent back to the suite at the Four Seasons Hotel where he was given free accommodation, and Linda personally watched over him.

He Zhichu said to Bai Shuang and Zhao Liangze, “I’m sorry, both of you. I’ll send someone to send you back. Before the matter is settled, you cannot contact the outside world.”

Zhao Liangze was very nervous and said, “Young Master He, we know the severity of the situation. We won’t say anything. I’ll bring Bai Shuang and my boss back with me. You don’t have to worry.”

“Your boss?” He Zhichu’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed unkindly. “Is it President Lu? Is he still here?”

“He still has some business to discuss,” Zhao Liangze said frankly. “There are also some employees who have won big prizes and will stay here for a few more days.”

He Zhichu shook his head. “I will help you explain to your boss, but you cannot contact anyone right now.” He waved his hand and had his people take away Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang’s phones. “It won’t be long, so don’t worry.”

Before Dresden left the Huaxia Empire, Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang couldn’t contact the outside world and would be temporarily put under house arrest.

Zhao Liangze had nothing to say.

He had discovered another side of Dresden today and didn’t want to get involved.

Previously, he had really tried his best to help him, but he didn’t expect to be tricked by this guy.

Zhao Liangze felt very bad.

Bai Shuang felt extremely guilty and even a little scared.

Zhao Liangze dragged her a few steps, and she couldn’t help running back to He Zhichu. “Mr. He, will Lawyer Gu be okay? Does she want to go back with us?”

What had happened today was too terrifying. Bai Shuang hadn’t expected that the gentle and refined Mr. Dresden would actually pull Gu Nianzhi to take the hit.

They had all thought that Dresden was a good person, someone who couldn’t stand their own country’s insubordination for the sake of justice and freedom.

They hadn’t expected that this good person wasn’t simple...

He Zhichu also wanted to send Gu Nianzhi back, but he wouldn’t go with them.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust them, but he knew what Gu Nianzhi was capable of.

If she wanted to trick the two of them, it would be a matter of minutes.

He had to find the best people to send her away.

His face expressionless, He Zhichu played with Dresden’s phone. He said coldly, “She was shocked today and needs to recuperate. She will go back in a few days.”

Bai Shuang and Zhao Liangze looked at each other and didn’t say anything more. They left H City with He Zhichu’s people.

After these people left, He Zhichu opened Dresden’s phone to take a closer look at the contents.

He had already changed the password of the phone, so it was very easy for him to open it again.

In Dresden’s phone, he discovered this guy’s secret.

It turned out that he was still communicating with the CIA through mobile games, sending messages, and receiving orders!

No wonder he had been playing games on his phone whenever he had the time while pretending to be timid, ignorant, and incompetent.

He Zhichu’s face was dark as he walked out of his room with his phone.

In the corridor by the door, the Ace of the Far East was leaning against the wall by the door not that far away while looking impatiently at Gu Nianzhi, who was standing in front of him.

Gu Nianzhi had just showered and changed her clothes. Her hair was still wet, and she was smiling up at him. “Mr. Peter, we meet again. Who were you talking to just now?”

“It’s none of your business. Oh, right, I don’t take calls from strangers, so you don’t have to call me.” The Ace of the Far East’s voice was very cold and distant.

Gu Nianzhi was stunned. She thought to herself, who called you? Just as she was about to deny it, the Ace of the Far East gave a time.”... Didn’t you call me?”

Gu Nianzhi was embarrassed. That was when she had tried to hack into the Ace of the Far East’s phone. She hadn’t expected to be discovered.

“But we’re not strangers.” Gu Nianzhi was quick to think. She rolled her eyes and smiled slyly. “We’re acquaintances. You saved me again today. Can’t I just call to thank you?”

“Really?” The Ace of the Far East caught a glimpse of He Zhichu from the corner of his eye and chuckled. He suddenly turned around and grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder, then pushed her against the wall.

The two of them suddenly switched positions.

Gu Nianzhi was now standing against the wall, while the Ace of the Far East was standing in front of her.

His fingers caressed Gu Nianzhi’s cheek and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. His handsome face, which was as cold as a sculpture, suddenly became lively and beautiful. It was surreal.

Gu Nianzhi was dazed and almost forgot to resist.

“Look, and you said you weren’t hitting on me? Actually, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. I told Mr. He that I don’t mind having a sexual partner like you...” He moved closer to Gu Nianzhi’s ear. He almost whispered, but his voice wasn’t low. Even He Zhichu, who was striding over, heard it.

Gu Nianzhi came back to her senses and pushed him away abruptly. Her face flushed red, and she said angrily, “I just wanted to express my gratitude. Do you have to do this?”

“Thank you? I didn’t save you. It was this Mr. He who saved you.” The Ace of the Far East sneered as he adjusted his collar. He put his hand on the door handle, pushed it open with a click, and stepped back into the room.

He Zhichu walked over with a calm expression, as if he hadn’t seen what had just happened. He said, “Is it convenient for you to come in and have a chat?”

The Ace of the Far East stood in his room and shrugged at He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi. “It’s not inconvenient for me.”

He Zhichu walked in. Gu Nianzhi thought about it and followed him in.

The Ace of the Far East slammed the door behind them.

He Zhichu pursed his lips and raised Dresden’s phone. He said, “Dresden called the sniper tonight. He wanted to kill Nianzhi.” He looked at Gu Nianzhi. “Why would Dresden target you?”

Gu Nianzhi was surprised as well, but she thought about it and quickly said, “He’s very sensitive. I pointed out something that doesn’t make sense to him on the yacht tonight, so he might have been on guard.”

He said that he had deliberately leaked information about the upper echelons of Huaxia Empire in order to escape the pursuit of the CIA.

Gu Nianzhi felt that it didn’t make sense and said, “It doesn’t make sense.”

The Ace of the Far East leaned against the door with his arms crossed and said coldly, “So you alerted him.”

“I didn’t know his real purpose at the time!” Gu Nianzhi was furious from embarrassment. “I was just rebutting his words, and I didn’t expose what he was really lying about!”

“I didn’t think that one sentence would make him want to kill me!”

He Zhichu held Gu Nianzhi’s hand and comforted her. “Don’t be angry. This proves that he’s Mr. Peter’s colleague and not some ‘champion of freedom.’”

“Only a specially trained person would want to kill you for something that might give them away.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

Why did those words sound so strange in her ears? !

Lying on the ground, the Ace of the Far East ignored He Zhichu’s insinuation and said stiffly, “Young Master He, you shouldn’t have let outsiders know about such an important matter.”

“Nianzhi isn’t an outsider.” He Zhichu protected Gu Nianzhi and didn’t allow others to say anything bad about her.

“If she’s not an outsider, who is she? Is she part of your system?” The Ace of the Far East put one foot on the ground and looked very disdainful. “Is this how your protocol is? I regret making this deal with you.”

Gu Nianzhi was furious. “What do you regret?! Don’t try to play the victim when you reaped the benefits!”

These soviets had the ability to take over everything themselves. How could they cooperate like this?

“If Dresden’s escape was really a trap set by the CIA, then we’ve all fallen for it.” The Ace of the Far East’s expression was unsightly. “I need to report this to my superiors. You guys can go. Wait for my news.”

He pulled open the door and motioned for them to leave.

He Zhichu glanced at him and turned to walk out.

Gu Nianzhi followed him for a few steps and turned to look at the Ace of the Far East. She opened her mouth, but hesitated.

The Ace of the Far East didn’t show any hesitation. He grabbed her arm and pushed her out.

The door slammed shut in front of Gu Nianzhi. Gu Nianzhi gritted her teeth in hatred.

His expression unsightly, He Zhichu turned around. “Nianzhi, were you looking for him just now?”

Gu Nianzhi quickly lowered her head and looked down at the Persian carpet in the corridor. She whispered, “I just went out to look for Bai Shuang and Director Zhao. I didn’t see them.” When she came back, she saw Mr. Peter talking to someone in the corridor, so she thanked him casually. After all, if it wasn’t for him tonight, she might not have been able to get hold of Dresden so quickly.”

“You even called him.” He Zhichu looked at her. “He didn’t pick up?”

“I just wanted to thank him...” Gu Nianzhi was a little embarrassed. She wouldn’t say that she actually wanted to hack into the Ace of the Far East’s phone through her phone number to help He Zhichu find out more about the Ace of the Far East’s background.

In the end, she was discovered and intercepted.

She should have known. He was the KGB’s Ace of the Far East. How could he be so easily seen through by them?

She would never say such an embarrassing thing.

But in He Zhichu’s ears, it meant something else.

In his eyes, even if the Ace of the Far East wasn’t Huo Shaoheng from the Special Operations Forces, he was still extremely attractive to Gu Nianzhi.

Or rather, the magnetic field between the two of them was stronger than when they stood together.

His face alternated between red and white, and the anxiety in his heart almost reached its peak.

He had lost to Huo Shaoheng over there, and he was going to lose to Huo Shaoheng over here?!

It was fine if he had lost to Huo Shaoheng over there. After all, he was seven years late after the most precious seven years.

But to lose to Huo Shaoheng on this side, why?!

He had appeared even later than him!

He Zhichu held onto Dresden’s phone tightly. Veins popped out on the back of his hand, but he endured it and didn’t show it. He said quietly, “Alright, go back and rest early.”

Gu Nianzhi was a little embarrassed and nodded hurriedly. “Then I’ll be going. You rest early too, Young Master He.”

He Zhichu watched as she returned to her room before turning around to go back to his own room to continue working.

Without a word, he downloaded all the content from Dresden’s phone and saved it in two copies, one for himself and one for the cloud system.

Just then, He Chengjian’s call came in. He sounded a little nervous.

“Ah-Chu, did you guys get into trouble again tonight?”

It seemed like he knew about what had happened that night. Apart from the dangerous situation on the yacht, there was also the gunfight on the dock.

“Yes. Dresden thought Nianzhi knew his true identity and wanted to get rid of her.”

“Is Nianzhi alright?”

“She’s fine. The sniper Dresden hired at the last minute was very average and we got rid of him.”

“What about Dresden?”

“He’s under control.” He Zhichu kicked the coffee table in frustration. “This is a trap. We’ve fallen into it!”

“Nonsense, how could we fall into a trap?” He Chengjian refused to admit it.”We were in the process of assessing the authenticity and risks of this matter. He just gave himself away. Now that the assessment has been completed, we don’t have to bear the risk for him. The H City government will reject his request for asylum tomorrow and allow him to leave within a time limit.”

At first, they thought that there was really an opportunity to learn a lot of top-secret information about the CIA from Dresden.

However, as Dresden revealed more and more information, everyone realized that he didn’t reveal much information about the US. In other words, he only had one prism plan.

However, this plan wasn’t a big secret because everyone knew that the US was listening to the whole world. Now, they only had concrete proof.

Every piece of information he revealed about other countries was more shocking than the United States’ Prism Plan.

How would the Huaxia Empire believe that he was a traitor to the United States?

“The Soviets must take him away,” He Zhichu said calmly. “I will arrange for them to leave immediately.”

He Chengjian nodded in satisfaction. Since they were talking about the Soviets, he immediately thought of the greatest sincerity the Soviet Union had shown this time and immediately asked him, “What about the Ace of the Far East? How is he?”

He Zhichu said, “We have people watching him all the time. This is because no one has seen his true face before, but the way he acts is consistent with our intelligence. He is indeed the Ace of the Far East.”

“... What about him and Nianzhi? Has he had any contact with her?” He Chengjian was very concerned about this.

This was because they all believed that the Ace of the Far East was Major General Huo’s counterpart, so they had to be wary of his relationship with Gu Nianzhi.

He Zhichu’s emotions were extremely complicated. He thought about it and said in a low voice, “He doesn’t have any feelings for Nianzhi...”

However, he couldn’t guarantee anything about Nianzhi.

Even though she didn’t admit it herself, the way she looked at that person was as if there was light in her eyes. He Zhichu found himself unable to bear it.

...

After hanging up, He Zhichu suppressed his frustration and made a new plan of action.

He didn’t sleep the whole night.

The next morning, he went down to the canteen for breakfast and saw Gu Nianzhi and the Ace of the Far East already there.

The two of them were sitting by the window, but not at the same table.

Outside was the beautiful blue Victoria Harbor. The scenery was pleasant, and the handsome men and beautiful women were even more pleasing to the eye.

From He Zhichu’s position, he could see that the breakfast in front of the two of them was exactly the same.

It was unknown who had copied whose breakfast.

He Zhichu’s eyes darkened. He sat down in front of Gu Nianzhi and said, “You’re up so early?”

“Yes, I went to bed early yesterday.” Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu. “You didn’t sleep all night?”

He Zhichu’s eyes had dark circles, and his chin even had some stubble. He looked very haggard.

He Zhichu smiled calmly. “I made a new plan yesterday. I’ll send that person away today, and I’ll bring you back tomorrow.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded and said with concern, “You guys be careful.”

Professional people were responsible for professional matters, and Gu Nianzhi had no intention of interfering.

He Zhichu finished his breakfast quietly with her. After sending her back to her hotel room, He Zhichu suddenly whispered into her ear, “... Do you want Major General Huo over there to come pick you up?”

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes lit up. “Of course I do! Do you have any news from that side? !”

Was it that He Zhichu wanted to get it off his conscience and was going to help her go back? !

“Not yet. But if the Ace of the Far East is still alive, Major General Huo from that side can’t come over.” He Zhichu gently stroked her cheek. His fingers lingered on her delicate skin, and he asked tentatively, “As long as we get rid of him, we can clear the way for Major General Huo from that side. Don’t you want to kill him? Maybe we’ll have a chance today...”
