Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1608 - Cover up

Chapter 1608: Cover up

Lu Jin saw that Gu Nianzhi was suddenly stunned. He followed her line of sight to the television and also saw the Ace of the Far East/Deputy Chief Counsel of the Consulate General.

“Ha.” He laughed. “I was wondering why this dog skin plaster has been missing recently. Turns out he’s stuck in America.”

Gu Nianzhi:”...”

She looked away and said nonchalantly, “After all, he’s the Deputy Chief Counsel of the Soviet Union, so Dad, don’t say that in front of him.”

“So I have to yield to him? Who does he think he is?” Lu Jin scoffed. He had always disliked this person, and now that Gu Nianzhi was speaking up for him, Lu Jin was in a bad mood. “Even if your fiancé from the other dimension comes here personally, he should yield to me!”

What he meant was that this fake would never be treated as an authentic one, and that the authentic one would not be treated well in his place.

“Daughters should marry above while sons should marry below. Nianzhi, you’re good at everything, so you can’t be too humble. You have to put on our own airs!” Lu Jin spoke matter-of-factly, as if he was saying, “I’m proud to have a daughter.”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart was warm. She was so touched by Lu Jin’s all-encompassing stance of protecting her that her eyes turned red.

After so many years, the part of her heart that was empty had finally been filled with his fatherly love.

She thought, look, I don’t necessarily need motherly love.

With a father like Lu Jin around, who would care who her mother was?

Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and said with a wronged expression, “But I’m not good at everything. For example, I don’t know how to cook or sing, and when it comes to high-energy physics, I can’t even read a book...”

“That’s okay!” Lu Jin encouraged her without hesitation. “I’m not a chef, so it’s natural that you can’t cook. You don’t have that in your genes!”

“As for singing, I’m also tone-deaf, so it’s also because of me.”

Lu Yuan walked in with fresh vegetables and fruits. He snorted when he heard that, “Nianzhi not knowing high-energy physics probably isn’t in your genes, or perhaps you should do a DNA test? I always feel that such a cute little girl like Nianzhi doesn’t look like your child. After all, you don’t know how to talk.”

“What did you say? !” Lu Jin jumped up from the sofa in anger. “You don’t know how to talk! Your whole family doesn’t know how to talk! So what if they can talk! Tomorrow, I’ll build a robot that can take care of everything! I’ll pretend to be dumb and let it talk!”

Lu Yuan couldn’t hold it in anymore and almost laughed out loud.

Lu Jin pointed at his nose resentfully and said, “Don’t laugh! I’ll make it look like you and make it bow to me every day and call me boss!”

“Fine, fine, fine. You’re a great scientist, but I can’t beat you.” Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at him and turned to greet Gu Nianzhi. “Nianzhi, what do you want to eat for lunch? The fish today is very fresh. It’s wild and hasn’t been polluted.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, “Thank you, President Lu. Then, I won’t stand on ceremony. Can you make pickled fish? It has to be especially delicious.”

“No problem. I’ll go see how much pickled cabbage we have left.” Lu Yuan entered the kitchen of Gu Nianzhi’s suite with familiarity and began to tidy up.

..

The fire was finally put out, and the tall military vehicle was left with only a pitch-black frame.

The air was filled with thick black smoke. Someone was spraying preparations in the air to cover the smell of burning human bodies.

He Zhichu’s face was gloomy. He stood in front of the burnt military vehicle with his hands behind his back and ordered coldly, “Send an additional company of men to Qin Yaoguang’s laboratory building! I want to see how arrogant they are!”

So many lives had been lost. He Zhichu’s heart was heavy, and his hands could not help but clench into fists.

Why?

Why did they do this?

What exactly were they trying to cover up?

If it was not because the other party was particularly stupid, then it was because they could no longer care about other things. Instead, they were desperate to hide their secrets, no matter what the cost.

Qin Yaoguang’s laboratory...

It was the “Gu Qin” laboratory that she had worked with Gu Xiangwen in the past.

After Gu Xiangwen was burned to death, this laboratory became Qin Yaoguang’s private property and was renamed as the “Yaoguang” laboratory.

Qin Yaoguang sat in He Zhichu’s car and looked at the burnt military car opposite her with a calm expression. She scoffed softly.

They were all useless. It was good that they were dead.

He Zhichu returned to the car and saw Qin Yaoguang’s gaze that she did not have time to retract. He was slightly stunned.

“You should be glad that you were sitting in the same car with me. Otherwise, you would be one of them now.” He Zhichu closed the car door and looked out the window at the scene of the fire.

Qin Yaoguang’s face darkened. “Young Master He, we don’t have to be so polite. You know that I have always been direct. How are you going to compensate for my lab workers? What good will it do you to kill them? Why did you want to kill them all? !”

He Zhichu glanced at her. “Do you think that I’m the one who killed these people?”

“Aren’t you? !” Qin Yaoguang’s eyes widened, and her voluptuous lips pursed into a drooping arc. “Young Master He, who else has the ability to do such a thing? !”

“Yes, I want to know too. Who else is there besides me?” He Zhichu said meaningfully. “Cut the crap. I’ll see you in court martial.”

“If that’s the case, I won’t talk to you anymore.” Qin Yaoguang sat back down in a huff. “I want to see a lawyer! I want to exercise my civil rights!”

He Zhichu ignored her and ordered the driver to drive to the temporary detention center in the suburbs of court martial.

If they didn’t go to the suburbs today but were in the downtown area, the damage and panic would be even greater.

He Zhichu was thinking about what the other party might have done, as well as the possible mastermind behind it. As he focused his attention, he suddenly heard his phone ring.

He took it out to take a look and realized that it was his father, He Chengjian.

He Zhichu put on his bluetooth headset and picked up the call.

“Hello, General He.”

Qin Yaoguang heard it from the side, and the corners of her eyes twitched uncontrollably. A wave of hope rose in her heart, and she quietly asked, “Is it Big Brother He? Does he know that something has happened to me?”

He Zhichu felt a wave of uncontrollable anger rise in his heart. He turned his head and said angrily, “Shut up! How old are you? Do you still think you are a little girl? Does my father have anything to do with you? !”

“You call a man who is not related to you ‘Big Brother’. Have you ever thought about what his wife would think?”

When Qin Suwen was still alive, Qin Yaoguang often called He Chengjian “Big Brother He” in front of her.

He Chengjian felt guilty because he had broken off the engagement with her, and had tolerated her calling him that.

However, He Zhichu knew that his mother, Qin Suwen, had been tolerating this form of address for a long time, but for the sake of courtesy and Qin Yaoguang’s pride, she had not said anything.

Qin Suwen had grown up in the Qin family’s orphanage. The Qin family had done her a great favor, so she would not be unable to accept just a form of address.

However, He Zhichu did not buy it.

In fact, ever since He Zhichu had broken off the engagement with Gu Nianzhi, he had no longer paid attention to his image or his man’s breadth of mind.

He had completely let himself go.

Qin Yaoguang’s face instantly turned red.

There was no greater humiliation than being scolded in front of her beloved’s son.

Her lips trembled as she sobbed, “I know you hate me because of Gu Nianzhi, but I’m also her biological mother, I...”

“If you mention that you’re Nianzhi’s biological mother again, do you believe I’ll sew your mouth shut?” He Zhichu narrowed his eyes. “What makes you a good mother? Didn’t you just provide a womb and an egg cell to call yourself a mother. Qin Yaoguang, you’d better pray that you didn’t do anything to Nianzhi, or I’ll personally break your bones one by one and grind them into powder to feed the dogs!”

“Zhichu! Why are you talking like that? !” On the other end of the Bluetooth headset, He Chengjian was dumbstruck as he listened to his son’s vicious words. He could not help but reprimand him. “Even if you hate her, don’t lose your grace in front of her! Besides, she’s your savior! What did your mother teach you in the past?”

“My mother is good at everything. The only bad thing is that she endured guilt towards her for so many years!” He Zhichu did not want to talk to He Chengjian anymore. He disconnected the connection, took out his phone, and blocked He Chengjian’s number. He ordered calmly, “Turn around and return to the base. Seal it off completely!”
