Chapter 1519: Take To The Ditch
The Committee of State Security (KGB) had sent him a secret message stating that Xie Ziyan had pa.s.sed away many years ago. They had also sent him the address of her grave so that he could pay his respects at any time.
However, the name and ident.i.ty on the tombstone were already those of a different person. It wasn’t Xie Ziyan. Only the photo on the tombstone showed that it was her.
The Committee of State Security (KGB) claimed that the name Xie Ziyan had been completely erased the moment she joined the KGB.
He Chengjian looked at the simple doc.u.ment and was speechless for a long time.
He only asked the Committee of State Security (KGB) for information about Xie Ziyan. He didn’t expect her to have two children.
Those two children should still be alive, right? According to her age, Xie Ziyan should have grandchildren.
Does this mean that they really do have a Huo Shaoheng on their side?
However, he wasn’t in the Huaxia Empire, but in the Soviet Union.
This was also the reason why he had searched the entire country for three or four years, but still couldn’t find the whereabouts of the Huo family, right?
Because they weren’t in the country at all, but in the Soviet Union.
Of course, this was just He Chengjian’s speculation.
For now, he only had this opportunity to ask the KGB, and wouldn’t have another opportunity to ask them for more information.
Moreover, the committee of State Security (KGB) had revealed that Xie Ziyan used to be a high-ranking member of the KGB. If he continued to inquire about her descendants, there would be suspicion of a leak.
No wonder she had no contact with the Xie family not long after she went to the Soviet Union.
The Xie family thought that she had died in that major battle. It was very likely that the KGB had made false information for her to fake her death and change her ident.i.ty.
He Chengjian thought that Xie Ziyan had joined the KGB as a Chinese and had become a high-ranking official. Her previous ident.i.ty must have been completely erased, so it was impossible for her to contact her previous family.
The Committee of State Security (KGB) of the Soviet Union wouldn’t be at ease with her continuing to contact her family.
As long as she contacted them, there was a possibility of her ident.i.ty being exposed.
The Committee of State Security (KGB) wouldn’t have revealed this matter if He Chengjian hadn’t made an inquiry when the Soviet Union needed his help, right?
Whether it was in the military or on the secret front, everyone followed the principle of “don’t ask, don’t tell”.
The Committee of State Security (KGB) didn’t want the Xie family to know about her. This was explained in the secret telegram to He Chengjian.
The Xie family definitely didn’t want him to know this news either.
Xie Beichen was now the prime minister. Imagine which country’s prime minister was willing to admit that he had a relative who used to be the head of intelligence in another country?
Would he still want to be elected as the prime minister in the future?
He Chengjian sat in the study until dawn. He thought about it for the entire night before he finally hid the message in the safe.
..
The next day, the weather in H City was very good.
At the end of October, the pink and purple silk and kapok cotton was in full bloom in H City. The air seemed to be filled with a sweet fragrance.
Gu Nianzhi woke up early in the morning and planned to visit Disneyland.
Today was supposed to be the day for the guests to return to C Cesaity.
Starting in the morning, people had already checked out of their rooms and boarded their planes.
Only three people had been invited to Gu Nianzhi’s law firm, so the new employees they had hired naturally weren’t qualified to attend the Lu Corporation’s celebration party.
Jin Dazhuang had called her and knew that she had something to attend to, so he wanted to stay for a few more days.
Jin Dazhuang didn’t refuse. After all, he was dealing with the higher-ups of the Lu Corporation, so he treated it as a public relations job for the law firm.
Therefore, Jin Dazhuang was very generous and tolerant towards her. He agreed immediately and even let her play for a few more days, so she didn’t have to worry about the law firm’s work.
Moreover, she was already a partner of the law firm, so her work schedule was even freer.
Gu Nianzhi tidied herself up and went to Jin Dazhuang and Xiao Zhang’s rooms to say goodbye to them, then sent them to the airport bus.
Xiao Zhang was so envious that she repeatedly asked Gu Nianzhi to bring her some action figures and snacks when she went back.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and agreed. She stood at the hotel entrance and watched the airport bus drive into the distance.
She was wearing a backpack, light white sports shoes, and a Juicy Couture navy blue sportswear with a black border. She had her hair in a ponytail and wore a pair of big sungla.s.ses. She looked like she was going on a trip.
After waiting at the hotel entrance for a while, she looked at her watch. It was almost 9:30 pm. If she didn’t leave now, she would die if there were too many people waiting in line.
She found out on the Internet that the Disneyland here was always crowded. They often had to queue for an hour or two for those popular rides.
Just as she picked up her phone and was about to call Lu Jin, she heard her phone ring. She picked it up and saw that it was the phone number that Lu Jin had given her yesterday.
She quickly swiped it open and answered the call. She asked with a smile, “Mr. Lu, are you still going to Disneyland?”
“Of course.” Lu Jin’s voice came from the phone with a smile. “But we’re playing a game today.”
“What game?! Tell me quickly!” Gu Nianzhi’s eyes lit up, and she was eager to try it out. She couldn’t help but be filled with more antic.i.p.ation for today’s trip to Disneyland.
“I’ll go in first and leave clues for you along the way. You’ll follow the clues I left behind, and then we’ll meet at the exit. If you can recognize who I am, you’ll win this game.”
Gu Nianzhi found it extremely interesting and quickly asked, “What’s the jackpot? What if I lose?”
Lu Jin laughed loudly. “If you win, I’ll give you a big gift. If you lose…”
He paused and finally said, “Just go to Disneyland with me one more time.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and bent over. “Then I’ll be taking advantage of you. How about this? If I lose, I’ll treat you to French food, okay?”
“Huh? Aren’t you almost out of money?” Lu Jin was surprised. “If you treat me to French food again, aren’t you afraid that you won’t have the money to go back?”
“Of course not.” Gu Nianzhi wagged her finger. “First of all, even if I’m out of money, I won’t be unable to go back because the Lu Corporation bought us a round-trip ticket. I’ve already changed my visa.”
“Second of all, how do you know I’m out of money? I’ve just made a small fortune, so it’s more than enough to treat you to French food.”
Lu Jin heard Gu Nianzhi speak clearly and logically, and her retort was well-organized. He didn’t think much of it. Instead, he was overjoyed and kept nodding his head. He said, “Okay, the game officially begins. I’ll leave first, and you can come back in half an hour, got it?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded. “I’ll get in the car now. I’ll be there in about half an hour.”
Gu Nianzhi waved and got into a taxi heading towards Disneyland.
Lu Jin was already standing at the entrance of Disneyland.
He looked at the three girls who were dressed exactly like Gu Nianzhi and said, “Today, you’ll be going in three different directions to play at Disneyland. Remember not to b.u.mp into her, and if you do, all your pay for today will be cancelled.”
“Sir, don’t worry. We definitely won’t b.u.mp into her!”
“Disneyland is so big. There are only three of us. How could we b.u.mp into her? You can rest a.s.sured!”
The three girls’ figures were exactly like Gu Nianzhi’s. They also had the same long hair tied into a ponytail, wore the same type of sungla.s.ses, and carried the same backpack.
If Gu Nianzhi stood with them, she would look like a quadruplet.
Lu Jin gave them a thumbs up. “Have fun and remember my conditions. After today, all of these outfits will be yours.”
As he spoke, he put on a lion’s head cover.
He was dressed in a lion king cartoon costume and looked like a large walking lion.
At 9:30, Disneyland opened its doors.
In H City, Disneyland looked like a large scorpion from the sky.
Entering the gate from the tail of the scorpion, the first attraction was “American town,” and further ahead was “Adventure Forest,” where man-made rivers meandered and waited for people to explore.
On the left-hand side of the gate were “Grizzly Valley”, “Misty manor,”and “Base camp of contraband”.
On the right-hand side of the entrance were two large scenic spots, “Fantasy world” and “Tomorrow’s world”.
The crowd waiting at the entrance swarmed in.
Three young girls in Juicy Couture black sports attire with sapphire blue stripes mingled with the crowd and entered every ten minutes.
Not long after, the few field agents responsible for secretly protecting and monitoring Gu Nianzhi also entered Disneyland.
They were all spread out and had no contact with each other, and they didN’t know each other’s existence.
Therefore, Lu Jin was able to use the strategy of “divide and conquer, one by one” to lure them away.
Qin Zhining was the last to arrive.
He wasn’t confused by Lu Jin’s smokes and mirror tactic, and had been following the real Gu Nianzhi.
He had clearly seen Gu Nianzhi get out of the taxi and enter the gate with the tickets she had bought online. However, just as he was about to follow her further, suddenly, a group of staff dressed in Disney cartoon characters ran out of a room at a scenic spot in “American town”.
They included Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, the big yellow dog, Snow White, the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella and her stepmother, the two sisters, the Pumpkin Cart, the fairy, and even the dragon in the magnolia. It was like a long dragon dancing in a small town during the spring festival circling in front of them.
Qin Zhining and the group of tourists who had just entered the door were immediately surrounded by these cartoon characters and the Long Dragon. Then, cheerful Disney movie music began to play from the loudspeakers in the open air. These workers, instantly stirring up the atmosphere, in cartoon costumes invited everyone to sing and dance.
The tourists were ecstatic. They took out their selfie sticks, held up their phones, and opened the beauty camera app. They took photos of themselves and their teammates from all angles, then immediately uploaded them to their social media and Weibo accounts.
Qin Chining was surrounded by selfie sticks that were raised high up in the air and blocked his view. Gu Nianzhi, who was carrying a backpack on her back, disappeared in front of his eyes.
He panicked and ignoring their complaints and rolling eyes, he finally pushed them away with all his strength. He squeezed his way out of the long line of cartoon characters.
Behind him was the direction of the main gate. Tourists kept walking in happily. When they saw a group of cartoon characters, they all ran over immediately.
In front of them was the “World of Exploration” scenic spot. It was a tropical jungle.
Qin Zhining couldn’t help but feel nervous.
This was the first time he had lost sight of his target.
The point was that this wasn’t a dangerous place, but the lively and bustling Disneyland!
“d.a.m.n it, this is really strange…” Qin Zhining mumbled. He turned on his Bluetooth headset and asking them to check Gu Nianzhi’s whereabouts, he began to contact his own people.
At that moment, he saw Gu Nianzhi’s figure walking towards the “Adventure World” and quickly chased after her.
The “Adventure World” had a trip to the forest and rivers, and the man-made lake that was dug out surrounded the tropical rainforest. It was somewhat like the “Tarzan of the Apes”.
Qin Zhining dived in. He clearly saw Gu Nianzhi’s figure turn behind a big tree, so he quickly followed.
Suddenly, a gorilla fell from the tree and roared at him!
Qin Zhining was caught off guard and instinctively tried to avoid the big hairy head. He took a few steps back, but another gorilla appeared behind him.
The two gorillas aimed at the target and pincer-attacked from both sides. They crashed into Qin Zhining, making him dizzy. He slipped and fell into the river.
Disney’s guards and lifeguards quickly received the news and ran over with a stretcher. They rescued Qin Zhining and dragged him away in the ambulance.
When Qin Zhining, feeling dizzy and being injected by the nurse, was lying in the ambulance, he suddenly remembered that there were no real apes in Disneyland!
Those were the “Tarzan Apes” dressed up by the staff!
