Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1647 - Shared Secret

Chapter 1647: Shared Secret

“Go to your place for New Year’s meal?” Gu Nianzhi’s eyes were bright as she said, “You’re too kind, but one can’t spend the New Year’s in someone else’s house... How about this, when you come out at noon, I’ll treat you to Maine lobster at the revolving restaurant on the Sanhuan Road of the Imperial Capital. The American lobster there is very authentic. It’s settled then. I still have things to do, so I can’t take your call for the time being. I’ll see you tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.!”

Gu Nianzhi hung up without hesitation and turned off her phone.

Before Luo Piaopiao could react, she realized that she couldn’t get through to Gu Nianzhi’s phone anymore.

Gu Nianzhi was her only contact. Gu Nianzhi wasn’t answering her phone right now, so there was nothing she could say.

“... Uncle, Cousin Gu hung up.” Luo Piaopiao’s face was flushed. “She said she’d treat me to lobster at the revolving restaurant tomorrow.”

Grandfather Qin stared at Luo Piaopiao for a while, then smiled kindly. “Okay, then let’s go to the revolving restaurant. I’ll book the top floor of the revolving restaurant tomorrow, and the Qin family will have their New Year’s dinner at the revolving restaurant on Sanhuan Road.”

Luo Piaopiao was instantly delighted again.

“Oh my! That’s great! We’ll definitely give Cousin Gu a surprise tomorrow!”

“That’s right! We’ll give your cousin a surprise!” Grandfather Qin laughed loudly. His tall body was like a mountain, strong and sturdy.

Luo Piaopiao was both respectful and fearful of her Granduncle. She had never been close to him, but because of Gu Nianzhi, she had unexpectedly gained his favor. She was very grateful to Gu Nianzhi, and her favorable impression of Gu Nianzhi had increased to another level.

Moreover, she also wanted to use Gu Nianzhi to build a relationship with her suitor from the Soviet Union.

Gu Nianzhi had publicly stated that she wasn’t interested in Mr. Peter, so Luo Piaopiao had no scruples towards pursuing Peter.

She and her father sent Old Master Qin off, then began to prepare for tomorrow’s meal.

..

Gu Nianzhi winked at Lu Jin and said, “We’ll be able to get her hair tomorrow.”

“How are you going to get Wen Shouyi’s hair?” Lu Jin was also about to start DNA sequencing.

Gu Nianzhi snapped her fingers and said “That’s easy to say. I’m still in the middle of a lawsuit with her. It won’t be hard to pull out a strand of hair when we meet up.”

Lu Jin knew Gu Nianzhi had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, so it wouldn’t be hard to pull out a strand of hair. Even if she didn’t take the initiative to pull out a few strands, the hair would fall off on its own.

Lu Jin said, “A normal person would lose 50 to 100 strands of hair every day. Just keep an eye out for where she sits. After she’s gone, you can use a special tool to collect her hair.”

“Okay.” Gu Nianzhi nodded happily. “I’ll get the hair of these two people as soon as possible so that we can compare their DNA sequences.”

..

Huo Shaoheng finished cleaning up the kitchen and went to the living room with Lu Yuan. He happened to hear Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin discussing how to sequence Wen Shouyi’s hair.

Huo Shaoheng sat down across from them and asked calmly, “You’re doing DNA sequencing on Wen Shouyi’s hair? Who are you comparing it to?”

Gu Nianzhi almost blurted out “Luo Piaopiao,” but seeing how Huo Shaoheng played dumb, she asked with a smile, “... Why should I tell you?”

Huo Shaoheng: “...”

Lu Jin was delighted to hear that. He winked at Lu Yuan and said, “See, this is a shared secret only between my daughter and I!”

Lu Yuan picked up a newspaper and shook it open to block his view. As he browsed through the contents of the newspaper, he said in Lu Jin’s tone, “Who else can you compare it to? Of course it’s Luo Piaopiao. I can guess it with my knees.”

Huo Shaoheng understood, but he couldn’t say that he understood why they wanted to compare the DNA of these two people. He could only ask further, “Why do you want to compare Wen Shouyi’s hair to Luo Piaopiao’s? Wen Shouyi was He Zhichu’s former personal secretary and is now the Executive Director of the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital. Luo Piaopiao is just an ordinary person, right?”

Gu Nianzhi was very surprised and said, “You even know this? When did you find out? How did you find out? Why are you so concerned about Wen Shouyi?”

Huo Shaoheng smiled without batting an eye and narrowed his eyes. “Miss Gu, can I take it that you’re jealous?”

The smile on Gu Nianzhi’s face fell.

She had never thought that Major General Huo was this narcissistic...

His narcissistic tone was truly domineering.

Gu Nianzhi snorted lightly and looked away. “I’m just curious. It seems like you and Wen Shouyi have no interaction. How do you know so much about her situation?”

Huo shaoheng said calmly, “I don’t know everything, but I do know the basic situation. Don’t forget that I qm a member of the Soviet Union’s KGB. When we were gathering information, we kept records of He Zhichu and his personal secretaries.”

Gu Nianzhi just wanted to roll her eyes.

The KGB..

What a load of crap.

She crossed her arms and looked straight ahead. “Know yourself and your enemy, and you’ll never lose a battle. Looks like Mr. Peter really knows how to do this well.”

“You flatter me.” Huo Shaoheng nodded elegantly. He extended his slender and clean fingers to refill a cup of tea for Gu Nianzhi.

Actually, it was only a third of the depth of the cup.

Drinking too much pu’er tea would cause insomnia at night.

Lu Yuan lowered the newspaper and looked up at them. “Why are you comparing their DNA? What do you want to achieve?”

Lu Jin was about to answer when Gu Nianzhi stepped on his foot.

Lu Jin immediately corrected himself. “I’m just testing it for fun. I don’t have anything to do during the New Year. I have nothing else to do.”

Lu Yuan knew that he wasn’t telling the truth. He saw Gu Nianzhi stopping Lu Jin from speaking out of the corner of his eye. He raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled. “It’s up to you, but Nianzhi shouldn’t go alone. Find someone to accompany her.”

Huo Shaoheng picked up his teacup and said nonchalantly, “I’m free tomorrow. I can accompany Miss Gu to the revolving restaurant.”

Lu Jin looked Huo Shaoheng up and down and asked suspiciously, “Why are you being so nice to Nianzhi?”

Huo Shaoheng smiled without batting an eye. “Because I’m chasing her.”

Gu Nianzhi sighed and propped her head on one hand as she leaned against the edge of the sofa. “Mr. Peter, you don’t have to waste your time with me. My heart belongs to someone else. It’s useless no matter how much you do.”

“I only know that there’s a saying in the Huaxia Empire, ‘If you are sincere, then you will succeed.’” Huo Shaoheng said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing. His bearing was extraordinary.

Although Lu Jin didn’t like him, he had to admit that this person was indeed Huo Shaoheng’s counterpart. Only he was barely worthy of his daughter.

Thinking about what he had to do, Lu Jin lowered his head sadly.

He couldn’t stay with his daughter forever. He had to think of a way to send his daughter back to the other world as soon as possible.

Energy. He needed a large amount of high-energy magnetic field energy.

The high-energy magnetic field energy in the Huaxia Empire was no longer enough to support the opening of the magnetic resonance. He had to go to other countries to find it.

Lu Jin’s expression was slightly restrained. He actually nodded and said, “Anyway, it’s just going to have a meal. It’s good to let Mr. Peter accompany you. He’s a Soviet diplomat. Ordinary people won’t dare to provoke him.”

After all, Luo Piaopiao was a member of the Qin family, so even if they were having a meal in a public place, Lu Jin was still a little worried.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows even higher.

Something was wrong with Lu Jin. Something was really wrong.

He had known Lu Jin for so many years. How could Lu Jin agree so easily?

Especially when someone was “coveting” his precious daughter. It was already polite of him not to chase him out with a big stick. Why would he agree to let Huo Shaoheng accompany Gu Nianzhi to a restaurant outside?
