Hello, Mr. Major General

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Now that she had said that, Huo Shaoheng wouldn’t be a true man if he didn’t respond.

He composed himself, then turned around and walked to the bedroom window. Without saying a word, he closed the curtains with a whoosh.

The bright bedroom suddenly turned dark.

Gu Nianzhi rubbed her eyes. It took her a while to get used to the darkness.

Her lips curved, and she chuckled silently.

Her gaze followed Huo Shaoheng’s figure as he walked around the bedroom. She watched him walk into the bathroom and listened to the sound of running water. Her heart pounded.

Even though she was the one who started the fire, Huo Shaoheng was the one who carried it out…

She quietly pulled up the blanket and covered her face.

Huo Shaoheng came out of the bathroom. He had already taken off his usual clothes and was only wearing the black t-shirt and black boxers underneath.

He strode over to Gu Nianzhi’s bed but realized that she had already covered herself up with the blanket.

That little coward, so she only does the killing without doing the burying afterwards?

Huo Shaoheng quietly lifted the blanket and laid down beside her.

Gu Nianzhi felt the bed beside her suddenly sink down, and it even formed a slanted angle.

She stretched out her long arms and rolled into his warm embrace.

Gu Nianzhi hugged his waist tightly and took a deep breath.

Huo Shaoheng’s clean and refreshing scent, like the scorching summer sun, deeply infatuated her.

Huo Shaoheng looked down at Gu Nianzhi in his arms and curled his lips. He didn’t have to say anything; he just had to do it himself.

..

When the two of them separated, Huo Shaoheng looked at his watch. It had been exactly half an hour.

He had no choice but to end this quickly.

Gu Nianzhi was almost shaken to pieces by him. She was in a daze, and her body was as soft as a piece of soft tofu. If he had been a little more forceful, she would have been crushed.

Huo Shaoheng gently caressed her back with one hand, and lowered his head to kiss her face.

Gu Nianzhi’s forehead was wet with sweat, and the lingering sensation rippled through her body and numbed her.

Her body was completely comfortable, but her mind was a little disoriented.

It was the complete opposite of her bodily state moments before.

Huo Shaoheng timed it perfectly. It didn’t take long for the doorbell to ring and his phone to ring. It was the delivery man.

Huo Shaoheng got up and picked up his T-shirt from the sofa by the bed.

Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes and happened to see Huo Shaoheng’s back, which was covered in red marks that she had scratched.

She covered her mouth and smirked secretly.

Huo Shaoheng put on his long pants and went out to open the door.

After a while, he said loudly in the dining room, “Nianzhi, come out for dinner.”

Gu Nianzhi slowly sat up and looked down at herself. The same red marks were all over her. They were kiss marks he had made on her.

She put on her clothes and continued to act coquettishly. “I can’t walk, so I can’t come out.”

That little fellow was really an insatiable rascal.

Huo Shaoheng cursed inside and quietly walked in. He looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. Her eyes were shining, and her plump lips were so lustrous that it was as if it had a layer of honey on them. She appeared especially alluring.

Her long legs swayed in front of the bed, and her long hair fell behind her back. Her small face, which was the size of a palm, beamed at him. She didn’t hold back at all. She trusted and depended on him completely.

His heart instantly softened.

Without saying a word, he carried Gu Nianzhi in his arms and turned to walk towards the living room.

He thought that he was becoming less and less principled and authoritative in front of Gu Nianzhi…

The two of them sat at the dining table and ate.

Her small dining room wasn’t as big as a mere utility room in Huo Shaoheng’s official residence, but Gu Nianzhi felt that it was especially cozy.

She scooped a bowl of bone soup for Huo Shaoheng and said with a smile, “You’ve worked hard just now, so eat something nutritious to prevent your legs from going weak due to lack of calcium.”

Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and looked up at her. “You’re the one who needs to eat something nutritious. I can do it again.”

Gu Nianzhi was choked. She rubbed her nose and smiled sheepishly. “Then you can… try harder!”

“I’m afraid that if I try harder, someone won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow.” Huo Shaoheng said slowly and returned to drinking the bone broth soup. “These are all ingredients that are beneficial to women. They can be used for beautifying purposes. You should drink more.”

“Really?”

When she heard that it could be used for beautifying purposes, Gu Nianzhi drank the soup without a second thought.

The restaurant didn’t give her much food anyway. There were only about two small bowls in the small pot.

However, the color of the soup appeared very appetizing. The soup was thick and golden in color. It looked very delicious.

The two of them stopped talking and quietly ate dinner.

After dinner, Gu Nianzhi hugged her stomach and groaned, then said that she had eaten too much.

Huo Shaoheng ignored her. He cleared the table, put the dishes into the dishwasher, and washed his hands before coming out.

Under the lotus cover paper lamp in the dining room, Gu Nianzhi was leaning against the high-backed soft chair and had actually fallen asleep.

Her perky nose cast a shadow under the lamp, and her long eyelashes covered her eyes, which had been shining brightly just a moment ago.

Her plump lips were slightly closed. As if she was dreaming of something good, and the corners of her lips curled up.

She was smiling even when she was asleep.

Huo Shaoheng’s mood brightened up as well.

He walked over silently, bent over, and reached a hand into her leg to carry her.

He carried her to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and wiped her hands and feet.

Gu Nianzhi was actually half-awake and knew that Huo Shaoheng was helping her clean.

She obediently opened her mouth to let him brush her teeth and rinse her mouth with clean water.

After he was done, Huo Shaoheng carried her back to the bedroom, turned off the lights, and laid down beside her.

Smelling his familiar scent, Gu Nianzhi felt safe and secure as she laid in his arms. She let down all her defenses. Her head tilted to the side and shhe fell asleep completely.

..

After she woke up the next morning, Gu Nianzhi rubbed her eyes.

If she hadn’t seen Huo Shaoheng standing in front of the window while taking the call, she would have thought that what had happened last night was a dream.

Because it had been so beautiful, so beautiful that it was like a dream.

In the dream, Huo Shaoheng was gentle, affectionate, and allowed her to do whatever she saw fit…

Smiling at Huo Shaoheng as she quietly listened to his call, she crossed her arms and sat on the bed.

The call was from the United States. After the operator learned about the situation, he specifically asked Huo Shaoheng if he wanted to answer the call himself.

Huo Shaoheng had specifically instructed the special operations forces to inform him as soon as there was any news from the United States.

After the special operations forces in the United States received the mission submitted by the Secret Service, they immediately deployed their manpower to carry out the operation.

In less than 12 hours, they found some useful information.

“Major General Huo, the preliminary investigation of Columbia University shows that an American named Mason had set up a scholarship for Asian students at Columbia University. The scholarship requirements were specifically tailored to the conditions of a particular student. Therefore, only she was only given $300,000 for four years. Tuition, miscellaneous fees, and living expenses were all covered.”

Huo Shaoheng nodded. “Well done. Have you investigated who Mason is? ”

“We have. He’s a member of the House of Representatives and from Maine.”

” … What’s his relationship with the Cai Family?”

“We only know that he knows Cai Shengnan and her father,” the person on the other side said carefully. “There’s no direct evidence to prove that the money Mason used to set up the scholarship was directly connected to Cai Susumin and Cai Shengnan.”

This meant that there was still no evidence to prove that the scholarship was connected to Cai Susumin and Cai Shengnan.

Huo Shaoheng looked out of the window thoughtfully and nodded after a long while. “Yes, continue to investigate. Can we find out where this congressman’s income came from?”

“We’re working on it.”

This wasn’t something that could be found in a day or two.

To be able to find out who set up this scholarship within 12 hours was already very impressive.

Because the scholarship was set up anonymously.

Schools usually took this type of scholarship very seriously and kept it a tight secret.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the Special Operations Forces had the means, it would have taken them a long time just to find out who Mason was.

After hanging up, Huo Shaoheng turned around and saw that Gu Nianzhi was already awake. She was sitting on the bed and hugging her knees as she looked at him.

Huo Shaoheng walked over. “You’re awake?”

Gu Nianzhi nodded. “Did you call just now to investigate Cai Shengnan and her father?”

Gu Nianzhi heard Huo Shaoheng ask about the relationship between the Cai family and a congressman’s income.

Huo Shaoheng nodded, then said slowly, “The prosecutor of the Procuratorate was arrested. The Secret Service found out that his daughter recently received a generous scholarship from Columbia University and asked us to investigate the origins of this scholarship.”

“Needless to say, it must have been Cai Shengnan.” Gu Nianzhi almost immediately blamed Cai Shengnan.

Huo Shaoheng curled his lips and rubbed Gu Nianzhi’s head. “What’s the use of only knowing it? You’re a lawyer. You have to speak with evidence.”

“I’ll find the evidence.” Gu Nianzhi smiled coyly. “When we go to court, I’ll make Cai Shengnan say it herself. Do you believe me?
