Chapter 1136 I Know What to Do Now

As soon as she said the words, they glanced at each other.The same question appeared in their heads at the same time.

Why did Reinitz have a note with the same handwriting as Gu Xiangwen’s?

Could he actually want to help Gu Nianzhi find her father?

Gu Nianzhi originally thought that Reinitz wanted to play with her head, but now it seemed that he knew much more than she could ever imagine.

“Huo Shao, where do you think Reinitz got that note from?”

Huo Shaoheng replied slowly, “We have to investigate that thoroughly.”

They possessed all the system files from the German Federal Intelligence Service, so they should be able to search through all of them to find clues.

Gu Nianzhi had the urge to call Reinitz and question him directly, but when she thought about it, she realized that he was already taking a risk by handing it to her. If she randomly called Reinitz, she might accidentally expose him.

She considered it again and finally stopped herself from calling Reinitz.

Starting at the acrylic box in front of her, Gu Nianzhi told Huo Shaoheng, “Huo Shao, I can’t understand the things in this box, but it should be helpful to the nation. I will donate it to Ms. Song’s Institute of High Physics.”

Huo Shaoheng froze and automatically replied, “But this belongs to your father. Aren’t you going to keep it as a memento?”

“I think that my father would hope that these items would be used to their full potential. What’s the point of me keeping them and worshipping them with incense three times a day?” Gu Nianzhi shrugged as she said, “I will cherish the memory of my father, but I don’t need to worship a box blindly.”

She was more interested in what the Japanese had discerned from the contents of the box.

Song Jinning was the only one who could figure this out since she was the professional.

Huo Shaoheng thought about it, then said, “How about this? The information about magnetic fields will be given to Ms. Song, and the information about biology will be given to Chen Lie. What do you think?”

“Ok, I have no problem with that.” Gu Nianzhi instantly agreed. “Do you want me to sign a donation agreement?”

“Of course, we can’t be sloppy when it comes to the procedure.” As Huo Shaoheng spoke, he went over to the desk and dialed General Ji’s extension. He gave a simple explanation of the current situation.

General Ji exhaled sharply, saying, “...This was given to the Japanese?!”

“Yes. Although they’ve returned some of the items now, we still don’t know what use we can make of the contents.”

This could only depend on the opinions of professionals.

General Ji immediately nodded his head in agreement, saying, “Have Nianzhi sign an agreement and then make a copy of the contents for our records. Send copies to Director Song and Dr. Chen.”

“Roger, Chief.” Huo Shaoheng stood up ramrod straight, in perfect military posture.

Since everything was now taken care of, Gu Nianzhi also stood up. “Huo Shao, you can keep working now. I should go home to pack; I’ll be making a state visit to India with Speaker Long tomorrow.”

Huo Shaoheng turned around to look at her. “I’ll drive you home,” he said.

“No, thanks, I can drive myself back.” Gu Nianzhi gave him a wave. “You can keep working.”

“That’s fine, I’ll drive you. I needed to go to the area anyway.” Huo Shaoheng grabbed his car keys, then called Yin Shixiong over and pointed to the box as he said, “Make three copies – one for the records and give me the other two. I will distribute them later.”

“Roger, Chief!” Yin Shixiong quickly gave a salute, his expression solemn.

Gu Nianzhi looked at him without making any of her usual jokes. She quietly followed Huo Shaoheng outside.

Huo Shaoheng took her back to her apartment in Hepingli and kissed her cheek, saying, “Have a safe trip and be careful. Don’t go anywhere alone when you’re in India. I will keep in touch with you.”

Gu Nianzhi was in a rush to go home to read the note from Reinitz, so she nodded quickly and said, “I know, don’t worry about me.”

India was notorious for sexual assault. As a young girl, she certainly wasn’t stupid enough to run around in a foreign environment.

Watching Gu Nianzhi walk into the apartment building’s elevator, Huo Shaoheng lowered his car window and took out a cigarette to smoke for some time.

He was sitting in a place where Gu Nianzhi couldn’t see, his eyebrows furrowed as he silently contemplated the recent events.

He always had a feeling that the truth was surfacing somewhere, beckoning at them from a close distance.

But his intuition also told him that the situation wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

The temptation was too great, and even though he knew it might be a trap, he couldn’t help but want to try leaping into the abyss to see just how deep it was...

After smoking for some time, Huo Shaoheng’s surveillance system indicated that Gu Nianzhi had already entered her home.

Throwing away his cigarette, he sent Gu Nianzhi a text saying, “Are you home?”

Gu Nianzhi replied immediately, “Yes, you have such perfect timing!”

Huo Shaoheng curled his lips into a smile as he started the car. Driving out of the Hepingli parking lot, he headed towards B University.

As he approached the B University professor’s building, he gave He Zhichu a call.

He Zhichu had just finished grading several thesis papers written by his doctorate students.

He frowned when he saw Huo Shaoheng calling, but still picked up.

“Huo Shao? I just looked out the window to see the sky is still dark, and the sun hasn’t risen from the west yet,” He Zhichu answered sarcastically.

Huo Shaoheng ignored the jab and replied calmly, “Professor He, I want to show you a few things. Are you free?”

He Zhichu lazily stretched his long legs as he asked, “What kind of things? I am not a very curious person, so I am not interested in seeing everything.”

“...It’s about Gu Xiangwen.”

He Zhichu’s body stiffened. “...Come upstairs.”

...

Huo Shaoheng sat before He Zhichu and passed his phone to him. “The first photo is a note Nianzhi received. The next photo is of items some Japanese took the time to return to her today,” he said.

He had photo records of the information saved on his phone.

He Zhichu’s brows knitted closely together as soon as he saw the note. “Nianzhi showed me this note already. She said it was related to her father, but she didn’t tell me who gave it to her.”

Huo Shaoheng considered his options. All he could do was to be honest with He Zhichu if he needed his help.

Reinitz and He Zhichu were both friend and foe to their cause, but at least it was certain that He Zhichu was always on Gu Nianzhi’s side.

Huo Shaoheng said, “This is something Reinitz gave Nianzhi. Of course, he was very discreet about it.”

He Zhichu’s expression darkened as he replied coldly, “What is Reinitz trying to do? He still hasn’t given up yet?”

“No matter what his motives are, look at his note. Isn’t this the same handwriting on the items returned by the Japanese?” Huo Shaoheng asked.

Huo Shaoheng discussed this with He Zhichu, but they still obviously needed to have a handwriting expert to determine whether or not it was truly one and the same.

They received a new clue before they even deciphered the meaning of the poems.

“Professor He, why do you think the Japanese wanted to return this box?” Huo Shaoheng pointed to the photo on his phone.

He Zhichu snorted and said, “It’s obviously because our lawsuit traced back its origins. You think that they would find the conscience to return items that were stolen from the owner?”

They could only either use the law or brute force when it came to dealing with those kinds of people.

“Nianzhi is winning her lawsuit?”

“It’s just about done.” He Zhichu handed Huo Shaoheng’s phone back. It didn’t appear as though he cared very much. “I already warned Nianzhi about being careful around the Japanese. They are about to lose everything they stole, so they wouldn’t be true to their nature if they didn’t go crazy.”

They only had to recall the kamikaze suicide squads from the war to understand that, when the Japanese lost their minds, they were even willing to kill themselves...

Huo Shaoheng was not surprised, so he replied calmly, “I was thinking the same thing. Now that I have received Professor He’s affirmation, I know what to do.”

Huo Shaoheng stood up, shaking He Zhichu’s hand with a smile.

He Zhichu walked him to the door, then suddenly asked, “When is Nianzhi leaving for India?”

“Her flight is tomorrow.” Huo Shaoheng smiled at him before turning to leave.

That night, He Zhichu didn’t sleep at all. He finished up all the work on hand and also passed on the simple tasks to his fellow professors in the department.

Then he went to the faculty to request for two weeks’ vacation, claiming he was ill and needed to go back to the United States for treatment.

He boarded his private jet before dawn and left the Huaxia Empire.

The next morning, Gu Nianzhi also arrived at the airport and boarded a private Huaxia Imperial plane to India with Speaker Long and her colleagues.

At the same moment, Huo Shaoheng was assigned by General Ji to lead the most elite special forces unit of the Huaxia Empire and take them to Russia to participate in the Annual Warrior Competition. It was scheduled to take place in two weeks.

This was the eighth year the Huaxia Empire had participated in this type of competition. The first year, Huo Shaoheng had been the all-around champion.

He didn’t appear in the later years because he didn’t participate again.

Now that he was reappearing in the competition as the Chief of the military, he instantly attracted all kinds of attention.
