Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1628: Hong Fuqi Qitian

Huo Guanyuan was clearly in a state of disbelief, but he was already able to control his expression and emotions and remained silent for a moment.

Huo Shaoheng carefully observed Huo Guanyuan’s expression. He thought for a moment, then said, “Grandfather is still alive, but after you left home, the Zhang family joined us.”

Huo Guanyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint sneer appeared on his lips. “Zhang family? Is it Head Nurse Zhang, her sons, and grandchildren?”

Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips, his mind racing.”... you knew? !”

“So, now everyone knows?” Huo Guanyuan nodded without batting an eyelid, “Of course I knew. Head Nurse Zhang was hiding it. I just couldn’t be bothered to expose her. With me around, she couldn’t bring her child, whom she gave birth to secretly, into the Huo family.”

Huo Shaoheng shook his head with a wry smile.”... When you weren’t around, she brought her son and daughter-in-law, as well as her grandchildren, into the Huo family under the pretext of comforting grandfather.”

“How do you comfort him?” Huo Guanyuan was a little nervous. “Was your grandmother still around then?”

“No.” Huo Shaoheng knew that this uncle was very close to his grandmother’s mother and son, so he quickly said, “When Zhang Feng brought her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren into the Huo family, grandmother had already passed away.”

As for the rest of the worrying matters, Huo Shaoheng did not plan to tell Huo Guanyuan about them now.

Or rather, he did not want to be the one saying it.

Huo Guanyuan’s expression gradually became serious. “So, if both your grandmother and I are not around, then do your father and grandfather not take charge?”

Huo Shaoheng: “...”

He could not respond to that.

Huo Guanyuan could scold his father and younger brother like that, but even if Huo Shaoheng agreed in his heart, he could not verbalize it.

“This is too much!” Huo Guanyuan punched the bare trunk of the parasol tree next to him, “Your grandfather used Zhang Feng to humiliate your grandmother, and your father used Bai Jinyi to humiliate your mother. What about you? Have you ever done anything for your grandmother and mother? !”

Huo Shaoheng calmly said, “I was only 12 years old at the time. What could I have done? Run away from home and become a delinquent? Leave my mentally deranged mother aside?”

Huo Shaoheng didn’t actually mean to mock Huo Guanyuan, but Huo Guanyuan felt his face burn when he heard that.

He had lived a peaceful life here by himself. Isn’t this akin to leaving his mother’s side and not caring for her?

When he was determined to sacrifice himself, he thought that his mother would definitely understand him.

However, when he found out that his mother had passed away before him, he felt unbearable heart-wrenching pain.

When he thought about how his mother thought that her son died, and imagined the pain and anxiety she felt could only be more intense than how he feels, his eyes turned red.

There was a lump in Huo Guanyuan’s throat, but he said firmly, “Go back! I must go back!”

Huo Shaoheng heaved a sigh of relief. He saw that Huo Guanyuan was getting emotional, and quickly said, “When grandmother passed away, she made arrangements for everything. When you go back, I will show you grandmother’s will. She left you a fund, which is now temporarily managed by me. When the time comes, I can pass it to you.”

Huo Guanyuan waved his hand and took a deep breath. “There’s no need. I’ll give you all those things as a wedding gift for you and Nianzhi.”

Huo Guanyuan’s gaze sharpened at the mention of Gu Nianzhi.”... are you going to continue hiding it from her?”

Huo Shaoheng nodded and said sincerely, “I hope you can help me. I’m worried that she won’t be able to hide it and if He Zhichu and He Chengjian find out, she’ll have to suffer again.”

That time, when He Chengjian had said, “I’d rather kill the wrong person than let him go”, Gu Nianzhi took the bullet for him.

He watched as she fell in his arms. At that moment, he fell into a daze.

He felt as if his brain was hit by a rifle, and for two or three seconds, his mind went blank.

For the first time, he was at a loss. It was as if he was in an empty field, where there was no one around.

Huo Guanyuan only came back to his senses when He Zhichu took her from his arms. However, he could no longer act aloof, and his voice could no longer pretend to be clear.

He could only give a series of orders to the Committee of State Security (KGB), with a hoarse voice.

At that time, he knew that this girl’s passion and love could not be blocked by anyone or anything.

The luckiest thing that has ever happened to him was meeting her.

The best decision of his life was to fall in love with her.

Huo Guanyuan also clearly remembered the time when Gu Nianzhi had been shot by the rifle. He said with lingering fear, “Okay, I understand. But you’re always by her side. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll... fall in love with someone else?”

Huo Shaoheng snapped out of his thoughts and smiled. “So what if she falls in love with someone else? She’s still in love with me anyway.”

His words were arrogant and deserved a beating.

Huo Guanyuan instantly withdrew his concern and sympathy, and said coldly, “Fine, then don’t expect me to be nice to you in the future.”

“That won’t do.” Huo Shaoheng dusted off the snowflakes on his shoulder, he said casually, “I’m a Soviet diplomat. You’re a smart person, why would you give a diplomat the cold shoulder? This will make Nianzhi suspicious. Just be as respectful to me as you were in the past.”

Huo Guanyuan thought about how Gu Nianzhi had been chasing relentlessly after the “Three-fried rice”. He was alert and aggrieved, and couldn’t help asking, “... did you make her that kind of three-fried rice? The kind your mother made for you when you were young?”

Huo Guanyuan paused for a moment and said proudly, “The kind of three-fried rice that I taught your mother is also the only kind that she knows how to cook.”

Song Jinning was not good at cooking. Who knew what methods Huo Guanyuan had used back then to help a culinary beginner produce three-fried rice that was above average...

That was a rare and precious time in Huo Guanyuan’s memory. He would never share it with anyone.

Huo Shaoheng frowned and immediately asked, “Have you made three-fried rice for Nianzhi?”

Although Huo Guanyuan didn’t want to admit it, he nodded resentfully. “She doesn’t know who I am, but she seems to be very familiar with the taste of that fried rice. She asked me several times about where I learned how to cook it.”

Huo Shaoheng nodded and rubbed his wrist. “Nianzhi is very smart. She won’t forget anything she eats after tasting it once. That’s why, from the beginning, I said I didn’t know how to cook so that I wouldn’t show any flaws.”

“Sly!” Huo Guanyuan glared at him but was happy for him.

When he was at Huo Shaoheng’s age, he was not as calm and composed as he was now.

He was smarter and more capable than him, which was a good thing for the country.

Only when the next generation is smarter and more capable can a country prosper.

Huo Shaoheng shrugged disapprovingly and said, “Then we’ll leave things as they are for now. We’ll discuss how to go back after I have settled some matters here.”

He wouldn’t reveal his identity to Gu Nianzhi until the very last moment.

Huo Guanyuan was reminded and asked immediately, “What agreement did you make with the Soviet Union? They’re not easy to get along with. Don’t think that they can help you selflessly.”

Huo Shaoheng didn’t tell Huo Guanyuan everything. He just said, indifferently, “I know. We’re just taking what we need.”

He paused for a moment and put his hand on Huo Guanyuan’s shoulder. He said firmly, “I won’t harm the Huaxia Empire’s interests either.”

Although this wasn’t his country, they share the same roots. He wouldn’t forget his ancestors.

“I believe in you.” Huo Guanyuan patted him on the shoulder and sighed. “This side is actually not bad. I’ve been here for 18 years. I’ve almost forgotten what it’s like over there.”

“Believe me, our place is better than this one,” Huo Shaoheng said calmly, with a deep and firm tone.

“Okay, I can’t wait to go home with you.” Huo Guanyuan reached out his hand to Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng gripped his hand tightly.

At this moment, the last barrier between the two men had been removed.

The 18 years between them had officially passed. What they welcome is a brand new future.

..

Huo Guanyuan returned to his apartment building. Instead of going to his own room, he went straight to Lu Jin’s apartment.

Lu Jin was still awake, writing a program on his computer, in his studio.

Huo Guanyuan stood at the door of his studio and knocked on the door. He asked calmly, “Do you still remember the call I asked you to make when we were planning to send Nianzhi to the other world eight years ago?”

Lu Jin stopped typing.

He rubbed his eyes and stomped the ground. He turned the computer chair around and glared at Huo Guanyuan. “Boss Lu, it’s so late. Why are you talking to me about what happened eight years ago? Are you dreaming?”

“Just pretend that I’m dreaming.” Huo Guanyuan said coldly, “I asked you to call my mother. Who did you call?”

Lu Jin:”...”

He thought hard for a while before saying,”... you called your mother?”

Seeing Huo Guanyuan’s strange expression, Lu Jin quickly said, “I was too pressed for time then, and I didn’t want to waste too much energy. I heard that the person on the other end of the phone was a woman, so I thought it was your mother. After giving her a few instructions, and she replied saying that she heard it clearly, I hung up.”

“What’s wrong? Did I call the wrong person? Isn’t she your mother?”

Huo Guanyuan clenched his fists and made cracking sounds, but after staring at Lu Jin for a long time, he slammed his fist on the door frame and turned to leave.

This matter had already passed, and Gu Nianzhi had been safely brought to Huo Shaoheng. Song Jinning had also recovered because of this, so there was no point in thinking about who he called back then.

Moreover, Lu Jin was a man of great fortune. Even though mistakes were made, he unintentionally bewitched Bai Jinyi. He did not expose Huo Guanyuan at all.

Therefore, Huo Guanyuan was only angry for a while and left when his anger subsided.

He did not want to waste his breath talking to people like Lu Jin.

Because he knew that if he said too much, he would still be the one who was angry. Lu Jin would not feel that he had done anything wrong at all.

Lu Jin was even more confused when he saw this situation. However, when he saw that Huo Guanyuan did not say anything else and left, he turned around and continued programming.

He wanted to crack all the internal code of the Qin group as soon as possible and download all the things. He would give them to Nianzhi as New Year’s money during the spring festival.
