Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1730 - An Issue

Chapter 1730: An Issue

As He Zhichu’s brows furrowed, his voice turned cold. “What’s the issue with this photo?!”

“It was taken secretly. That address is the address of the person who took the photo secretly.” Gu Nianzhi hesitated, not sure if she should tell him about Wen Shouyi.

But if she told him about Wen Shouyi, it would certainly implicate Xie Qingying.

It was thus better not to alert the enemy.

As long as the person who took the photo was caught, Wen Shouyi wouldn’t be able to escape.

He Zhichu still asked suspiciously, “Why do you have this photo?”

“Someone sent it to me.” Gu Nianzhi sighed. “It’s a long story. Young master he, you’d better catch the person first.”

He Zhichu immediately said, “I’ll get the police to catch the person.”

Gu Nianzhi tried to persuade him again. “You don’t need to call the police, do you? You’re a major general. If you’re photographed secretly, it might involve national security issues. Why don’t you bring your own people to deal with it?”

With a single sentence from Gu Nianzhi, she had turned this matter from an ordinary affair between a man and a woman to a political one.

Only when it became a political matter related to national security could He Zhichu officially intervene.

He Zhichu’s current position was similar to Huo Shaoheng’s over there. However, he did not set up a special operations forces corps like Huo Shaoheng’s. Instead, he set up a special operations force under the command of the Supreme General Staff.

He Zhichu understood and smiled. “Nianzhi, you’re the smart one. Alright, I’ll bring my men to catch them personally.”

He stood up and changed into his military uniform. He called for his most capable team and took a private car to the apartment complex opposite Gu Nianzhi’s.

To avoid detection, they entered through the back door of the complex and guarded all the exits.

When they reached the lobby of the building, He Zhichu sent a few men to guard the elevator entrance on the first floor while he led his men into the elevator.

The security of the building was not as strict as the apartment where Gu Nianzhi lived. There was no need for a special key card to get into the elevator.

He Zhichu followed the address Gu Nianzhi gave him and quickly reached the floor.

They quietly surrounded the person’s room.

He Zhichu gestured when everyone was in position.

Just then, the youngest member of their team came over and knocked on the door.

The person inside was fiddling with his camera equipment.

He felt something was wrong when he heard someone knocking on the door.

He was a very vigilant man, who was highly trained.

As soon as he heard the knocking, he immediately turned on his cell phone and looked at the situation at the door.

He had modified the cat’s eye on the front door into a surveillance device and attached it to his cell phone so that he could keep track of the situation around him at all times.

When he saw those people standing at the door with murderous intent, his heart skipped a beat, and he knew that something was wrong.

After he stood up in a hurry, he rushed into his dark room. He threw all the photos and film that had been developed or had not been developed into a stainless steel trash can and lit a fire.

The flames rose and devoured the negatives and photos in an instant.

He was relieved. When he came out of the dark room, he heard a loud bang from the door. Someone kicked the door open.

A few people wearing bulletproof vests and carrying rifles rushed in.

After the man raised his hands reflexively, he retreated step by step through the living room and followed the open glass door to the balcony.

The balconies here were all closed, but they were protected by glass windows.

He retreated to the glass window and stood still. He raised his hands and looked at them nervously.

He Zhichu walked up from behind the soldier with the gun. He looked at him coldly and waved his hand. “This man is suspected of secretly taking pictures of major generals in the army and endangering national security. Take him away.”

The man’s heart sank. He didn’t understand why things had happened so quickly.

Could it be that Wen Shouyi had betrayed him?

The man’s mind raced. In an instant, he had several ideas, but none of them worked.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and suddenly put down his hands. He put one hand into his trouser pocket as if he was going to take something out.

The guards who were responsible for protecting He Zhichu did not hesitate to shoot first.

This was an important part of their training.

Just like the American police, when faced with a criminal suspect who was likely to return fire with a gun, the first thing they needed to do was to strike first.

They had a saying, “It’s better to be accused while standing than to be carried out while lying down.”.

The Huaxia Empire forbade the use of guns. The police here did not need to be like the American police when they were on a mission.

However, the enemies He Zhichu and the others faced were not ordinary criminals. Instead, they were spies or spies who had close ties with foreign countries.

Most of these people had guns on them.

Therefore, when the man put down his hands and dug into his pockets, the guards beside He Zhichu immediately fired.

His marksmanship was very accurate. “Bang! Bang!” Two shots landed on each of the man’s arms.

The man’s entire body shook, and he almost fainted from the pain.

His arms hung limply by his side, and he did not have the strength to do anything else.

He glared at He Zhichu, then bit off the poison hidden in his teeth and swallowed it.

“I advise you not to resist for no reason,” He Zhichu said coldly. At the same time, he ordered his soldiers, “Search!”

The guards who came in with him immediately split into groups of three and went to the other room in the apartment.

The man standing in front of the French window on the balcony of the living room had already started bleeding before He Zhichu’s men could walk over.

He put on a regretful and strange smile. As his legs went weak, he fell to the ground with a loud crash.

“He actually committed suicide by taking poison? As expected, he’s not an ordinary photographer.” He Zhichu raised his hand with a cold smile. “Call the police, then search his body. Also, take a sample of the poison in his mouth and bring it back for analysis.”

He Zhichu walked around the man’s apartment.

His men found the secret room, but there was nothing inside except for the cleaning equipment and medicine.

There was also burnt ashes in the stainless steel trash can, which indicated that the man had destroyed all the evidence.

Not long after, the police arrived at the man’s apartment, and they were shocked to see this scene.

However, after checking the man, they found that although he was shot in the arm, it was not fatal. The real fatal factor was the poison in his mouth.

He Zhichu tilted his head, and his guard threw a recording device to the police officer. “This is the entire situation after we entered. He committed suicide out of guilt. The exact reason will have to be verified by the police.”

The police officer who led the team recognized He Zhichu’s face. He quickly took it with both hands and asked in confusion, “Young master He, did someone report it? What did he do?”

He Zhichu nodded. “Someone found out that he secretly took pictures of my whereabouts and suspected that he might be a spy. We came to investigate, but not only did he try to resist, he even committed suicide.”

The fact that the teeth in his mouth contained poison was what spies usually did. Now, some of the most vicious suspects did the same because they did not want to be arrested.

The police officer immediately saluted and said, “Don’t worry, chief! We’ll investigate immediately!”

He Zhichu’s men had already searched the apartment and found nothing.

He did not stay any longer, for he soon left the apartment to the police.

He walked out of the building and saw Gu Nianzhi’s apartment block not far away. He felt something was wrong.

Then who was the one who had sent her the candid photo?

Why had it been sent to her? Why hadn’t it been sent to him?

He Zhichu waved his personal secretary to bring the soldiers back to the base. He then dialed Gu Nianzhi’s number.

Without hesitation, Gu Nianzhi picked it up. “Young Master He? How is it?”

The street lamps in the block were very bright, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

On the fifteenth night, the Moon was as round as a fine piece of white jade, giving off a soft light that illuminated the entire night sky.

He Zhichu was talking to Gu Nianzhi through a bluetooth headset as he walked towards her apartment complex. He said plainly, “Who sent you the photos? The person who took them secretly is very unusual.”

“I knew it!” Gu Nianzhi was surprised and delighted. “Did you catch him?”

“No, he took poison and committed suicide.”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart sank.

The crime of secretly taking photos did not warrant death. Why did this person commit suicide?

She knew that this matter had become more important, so she directly said, “Wen Shouyi sent these two photos to cousin Xie, who then forwarded them to me.”
