Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1568 - Loyal Rebellion

Chapter 1568: Loyal Rebellion

In Gu Nianzhi’s room at the He family’s mansion, He Zhichu placed the cigarette-grey blanket on Gu Nianzhi’s chest until it reached her neck.

Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and leaned against the headrest of her wheelchair. She looked like she was sleeping soundly.

“When you came back, a lot of people in the house saw you two.” He Chengjian sat down opposite him, crossed his legs, and put one hand on the sofa. “Is it okay?”

Especially the He family’s servants.

He Zhichu said expressionlessly, “I’m letting them see on purpose. Otherwise, how could they spread the news?”

Wen Shouyi’s father thought that no one would pay attention to an ordinary gardener, so he had secretly taken a photo. Who would have thought that his every move was under the surveillance of the relevant people.

He Zhichu had learned from the spies planted in the Qin family that Qin Yaoguang had originally refused to attend the Christmas party.

In order for Gu Nianzhi to deal with Qin Yaoguang smoothly, He Zhichu had no choice but to make such a gesture. He swaggered back to the He family with Gu Nianzhi and announced that he would bring Gu Nianzhi along.

He knew that as long as Gu Nianzhi came, Qin Yaoguang would definitely come.

And this news was “secretly photographed” by their own people. It would definitely be more credible to Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi.

He Chengjian nodded. “It’s good that you know what you’re doing.”

He looked down at Gu Nianzhi, who was sleeping in her wheelchair, and said to He Zhichu without batting an eye, “... Huo Shaoheng, that Ace of the Far East from the KGB, and the current deputy chief of KGB in C City are coming to our Christmas party today.”

He Zhichu: “...”

“What’s he doing here?” His expression cold and stern, He Zhichu sat back down. “Isn’t it normal for their embassies not to attend such events?”

Not every embassy could get an invitation to the He family’s Christmas party.

How could the embassies of more than 100 countries receive the same treatment?

In the past, because the American ambassador was a guest at the He family’s Christmas party every year, the Soviet ambassador, who was not on good terms with them, had always declined the invitation.

He did not expect that this year, the Ace of the Far East would actually take this opportunity to represent the Soviet Union at the He family’s Christmas party for the first time as the deputy chief consul of the C City Consulate General.

“They brought Dresden to the Soviet Union and put him under strict supervision.” A faint sneer appeared on He Chengjian’s lips. “Did you know that the only request of Mr. Pushin, the head of the Soviet Union, was for Mr. Dresden, the ‘traitor’ of the CIA, to stop all of his leaks immediately?”

He Zhichu: “...”

Because all of Dresden’s leaks were good news for the United States and bad news for other countries.

“Dresden is playing the ‘loyal traitor’ card...” He Zhichu curled the corners of his lips, and his sparkling almond-shaped eyes flashed. “The CIA is really trying their best to plot against other countries.”

He Chengjian nodded. “It’s obvious that Dresden’s so-called traitor case is a trojan horse meticulously planned by the CIA. Originally, they wanted to send him to our country to stir up trouble.”

However, with He Chengjian’s suspicious personality, he immediately noticed that something was wrong with Dresden. He immediately rejected his asylum application and sold him to the Soviet Union.

At first, the Soviet Union was not interested in Dresden, but for some reason, within two days, their attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. Not only were they extremely interested in Dresden’s whereabouts, they also showed great sincerity. The KGB’s Ace of the Far East had also been sent over.

He Chengjian and He Zhichu knew that Huo Shaoheng, the Ace of the Far East, would be useless after he showed his face in front of them.

The Soviets had spared no expense to take Dresden away. After that, they had locked him up tightly and prevented him from communicating with the outside world, not to mention exposing him to the outside world.

What exactly was their goal?

Or rather, what benefits did Dresden have that were more important than the Ace of the Far East that could make the Soviets take the initiative to offer such an exchange?

He Zhichu also felt that the Soviet side might have hidden some deeper reason, but Dresden had already been taken away by the Soviet Union and was under strict control. It was now impossible for them to contact Dresden again.

“But it’s not like we got nothing.” He Chengjian was momentarily happy and forgot He Zhichu’s taboo. “At least it proves that the Ace of the Far East, Peter Huo Shaoheng, is the counterpart of Huo Shaoheng in the other world.”

He Zhichu’s face darkened. “Using Nianzhi’s life to verify it, you’ve gained a lot!”

He Chengjian smiled sheepishly. “Ah-Chu, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have done this.”

He was too embarrassed to stay here any longer. He stood up and said, “Hurry up and get ready. You and Nianzhi can’t just go out like this, right? Is she still asleep?”

He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi. “Yes, I’ll wake her up later.”

He Chengjian nodded. “I’ll be going then. There are so many guests outside.”

They didn’t have a hostess today, so He Chengjian had to deal with all the guests.

After He Chengjian left, He Zhichu also had to shower and change his clothes.

He looked at Gu Nianzhi and flicked her forehead lightly. He said plainly, “Stop pretending. My Dad has already left.”

Gu Nianzhi adjusted her breathing and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at He Zhichu and coughed embarrassingly. “Young Master He, I’m really asleep.”

“You’ve exposed yourself.” He Zhichu retracted his hand. “Can you stay here by yourself for a while? I’m going to my room to take a shower. My room is right across from yours.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly said, “Okay.””Young Master He, please go ahead.”

He Zhichu arranged for a number of soldiers to stand guard in the corridor to protect Gu Nianzhi’s safety.

He pushed the door open and walked out. He said to the soldier at the door, “Don’t let anyone in, including General He. Do you hear me?”

“Yes, sir!” The soldier standing guard at the door held the semi-automatic assault rifle on his chest and answered loudly.

He Zhichu walked into his room to take a shower.

The corridor outside was silent. The soldiers standing guard had almost covered the entire floor.

Gu Nianzhi sat alone in her wheelchair. After watching the door to her room close, she quietly pressed a button under the armrest of her wheelchair.

Her wheelchair was a multi-purpose wheelchair that Lu Jin had meticulously built.

The button under the armrest turned on the far-infrared detection scan, which could be used to find out if there were cameras or recording devices installed in the room.

A minute later, the scan was over. It proved that there was no recording equipment in the room.

Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She pressed another button and turned on the communication device with Lu Jin.

A small screen slowly rose from the back of the wheelchair and landed in front of her.

Lu Jin appeared on the screen and greeted her happily. “Nianzhi! Are you okay? You didn’t run into any danger, did you? Did anyone make things difficult for you?”

Gu Nianzhi shook her head with a smile. “No, Young Master He took good care of me.”

Her time was limited, so she tried to keep it short and she didn’t have time to nag Lu Jin. She picked the thing she was most concerned about and asked, “Dad, I want to ask again. What exactly is going on with the parallel world counterpart situation? Can they really not coexist in the same world?”

Gu Nianzhi had heard He Chengjian mention the identity of the Ace of the Far East earlier, so she felt that she had to get to the bottom of this matter.

Lu Jin was the real authority on this matter.

He Chengjian and the others had used Lu Jin’s research results.

Lu Jin did not know why Gu Nianzhi had suddenly asked this question, but he had always answered her questions. He immediately said, “The parallel world’s counterpart, from the most basic point of view, is two organisms with exactly the same DNA.”

“Only DNA is the only characteristic of the counterpart, because DNA is the physical indicator of the human body.”

“The parallel universe only recognizes this physical indicator.”

“Let’s put it this way. People on both sides of the parallel world can have different names, surnames, identities, occupations, and even nationalities, but as long as their DNA is the same, they are the counterpart of each other.”

“And two people like that can never coexist in the same space-time. This is determined by the physical characteristics of the parallel space-time.”

“Fundamentally speaking, parallel space-time is actually derived from the same space-time, but they are not mirror worlds.”

“Because from the moment they separated, they had their own development pathways. As time passed, the people on both sides had different life trajectories, so not everyone has their own counterparts.”

Gu Nianzhi listened very carefully and digested Lu Jin’s words word by word.

The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she became.

She said gloomily, “So as long as there’s a counterpart here, the people on the other side won’t be able to survive.”

“Yes, there’s no other way.” Lu Jin sighed and reached out to caress Gu Nianzhi’s sullen little face on the display screen in front of him. “People have their limits. Nianzhi, even Dad can’t violate the laws of physics.”

The laws of physics could only be discovered, never created.

Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the door.

She quickly turned off the screen that showed her conversation with Lu Jin and put it back into the hidden area behind her wheelchair. She then turned on the communicator and asked, “What’s all the noise outside?”

The soldier at the door was pointing his gun at an old woman with wrinkles all over her face.

She was holding a bouquet of fresh flowers that had just been picked. She said with a frown, “Sir, I’m the gardener of the He family’s greenhouse. I bring flowers to this room every day.”

“But Young Master He has instructed that no one is allowed to enter.”

“Young Master He is talking about outsiders. I’m a servant of the He family, not me.” The old woman looked honest, but her words were actually quite sharp.

Gu Nianzhi smiled from inside the room and said lightly, “I don’t need flowers. Please go back.”

The soldier with a gun at the door quickly said, “Did you hear that? Miss Gu said she doesn’t want flowers. You can go now.”

The old woman blinked and looked very surprised.”... There’s still someone inside? Is Miss Gu back? Oh, I’m sorry, Miss Gu. I didn’t know you were back...”

Gu Nianzhi’s voice came from the speaker at the door with a sarcastic smile. “You didn’t know? Didn’t you all see me when I came in? You’ve exposed yourself now...”

The old woman blushed and thought to herself that Gu Nianzhi was really sharp-tongued. No wonder she always had a hard time with her daughter.

She quickly bowed and said, “I’m sorry.” She quickly turned to leave with the flowers in her arms.

“Stop.” Gu Nianzhi looked at the surveillance screen at the door and instructed, “Lock her up first and release her after the dance.”

“Yes, Miss Gu.” The soldiers standing guard at the door quickly stopped the old woman who had brought the flowers. After asking He Zhichu for instructions, they gagged her, tied her up, and threw her into an empty storage room to be locked up.

..

That night, the living room of the He family’s mansion was decorated beautifully and magnificently to welcome the most distinguished guests of the empire’s upper class.

Wen Shouyi, dressed in a beautiful blue brocade traditional dress, was holding a cocktail in her hand. She absentmindedly stood behind a pillar that was as thick as an arm at the door of the living room, and was constantly looking at her watch.

Thirty minutes had passed. Hadn’t her mother gone to deliver flowers to Gu Nianzhi’s room?

Why hadn’t she come down yet?
