Chapter 1774: Chapter 1774: Growing Old with you
The flight from the imperial capital to C City took three hours before it finally landed at C City International Airport.
After alighting from the private plane, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng boarded the special car from the Soviet consulate general to pick up “Peter.”.
The apartment that Gu Nianzhi had rented in C city was already being demolished. She had moved to Lu Jin’s penthouse apartment in the Western District.
This time, she still stayed there.
Huo Shaoheng asked the chauffeur to send them over.
“You rest here for a while. I’ll report to the Consulate and bring the things over to live with you.”Huo Shaoheng sent Gu Nianzhi to the penthouse and said as he stood at the door.
Gu Nianzhi was a little shy, but also a little excited. She nodded silently and said softly, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand to adjust gu nianzhi’s collar. His fingers brushed across her collarbone, causing a s.h.i.+ver to run down her spine.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips, smiled at Huo Shaoheng, and gently closed the door.
Huo Shaoheng checked the security cameras and confirmed that everything was normal before walking into the elevator.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the luxury penthouse. She had once recuperated here, and it was also here that she had met Lu Jin.
The room was still familiar to her. The furnis.h.i.+ngs were exactly the same as last year. It was as if she had never left in the past few months.
On the sofa was a light pink blanket that she had once covered herself with. It was made of high-quality cashmere. It looked very big, but it was so soft that it could be dragged through a ring.
Gu nianzhi heaved a sigh of satisfaction. She carried her luggage to the bedroom and put it away.
She did not have time to wash up. She immediately took out her phone and connected to the WIFI.
Although no one had lived here for the past few months, all the surveillance equipment and WIFI were working normally.
Gu Nianzhi dialed Lu Jin’s number and wanted to video chat with him.
Lu Jin’s number rang three times before it was picked up.
Lu Jin’s face appeared on the phone, wearing a turtleneck sweater.
He smiled as he greeted her. “Nianzhi, you’re here?”
Gu Nianzhi quickly nodded. “Yes, I’m here. Dad, I’m still staying in your penthouse apartment from last time.”
“Yeah, it’s a good place to stay. Have fun and video chat with me whenever you’re free.”Lu Jin smiled kindly.
Gu Nianzhi was relieved. “Okay, Dad. You have to remember to keep watch for us! If we’re in danger, we’ll need your help!”
“No problem. If you need anything, just call this number. I’ll definitely help you solve the problem as soon as possible!”
The two of them chatted for a while more before Gu Nianzhi hung up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
In Lu Jin’s apartment in the capital, his supercomputer-like computer was humming.
In the middle of the s.p.a.cious bedroom, a hologram of a virtual human that looked exactly like Lu Jin had just ended the call and was slowly disappearing into the changing light and shadow.
Lu Jin, who had just boarded the plane, had also received a message from his computer. He knew that Gu Nianzhi had already contacted him.
He believed that the computer that he had arranged with a certain degree of artificial intelligence would be able to use his holographic avatar to temporarily fool Gu Nianzhi for a period of time.
He did not think that he would be able to keep it a secret forever. He just wanted to see when she would be able to see that the “Lu Jin”who was talking to her was not a real person, but a holographic avatar.
..
Gu Nianzhi took a bath in the bathroom with rose essential oil. Lu Jin had prepared all kinds of bath products for her. Not only could they nourish her skin and protect her skin, but they could also regulate her nervous system. They were very beneficial to her body.
After was.h.i.+ng up, she felt extremely hungry.
She came out of the bathroom in her bathrobe and saw that there was light coming through the crack in the bedroom door.
She had turned off the lights in the living room when she came in, but it was Huo Shaoheng Now?
Gu Nianzhi turned on the surveillance video in the bedroom and saw that it was indeed Huo Shaoheng, dressed in a Soviet military uniform, walking towards her bedroom.
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to open the door. She smiled and said, “You’re here. I’m hungry.”
Huo Shaoheng stopped at the door with his hands in his pockets. He looked at her with a half-smile and said,”… I’m hungry too. Do you want to feed me first, or do you want me to feed you first?”
Gu Nianzhi’s face turned red.
Women were never a match for men when it came to dirty talk.
She tried her best to calm herself down. She looked up at the surveillance cameras in the room and said with a half-smile, “This is my father’s apartment…”
What she meant was, you can decide how many surveillance cameras there are!
Huo Shaoheng shrugged nonchalantly.
He was just taking advantage of her verbally. No matter how h.o.r.n.y he was, he would never act like this with his daughter at his father-in-law’s house..
“Then I’ll feed you first.”Huo Shaoheng turned and headed to the kitchen. “I made beef noodle soup with minced pork, and I put Chinese wolfberry and American ginseng in it. It’s very nouris.h.i.+ng.”
Gu Nianzhi immediately felt even hungrier.
The two of them had a full meal in the dining room and then discussed the next day’s operation to digest food.
“Qin Huichang’s relatives all went abroad in the early years, but they lost contact with them later.”Huo Shaoheng turned on his phone and pulled up the information, “It wasn’t until Qin Zhiyuan’s father’s family returned to the country to do business that they finally got in touch with Qin Suwen.”
“I heard that general he was the one who helped…”gu nianzhi whispered, “Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to find him.”
“That’s for sure. We’ve been out of contact for so many years, how could we possibly find him on our own? This country went through a lot during those years, and was separated from the rest of the world for a period of time.”
Huo Shaoheng knew the history of the Huaxia Empire here, and it was basically the same as their own country over there.
Gu Nianzhi nodded and asked with a frown, “Then should we ask Qin Zhiyuan or Qin zhining as well?”
Qin zhining was the one who had brought Gu Nianzhi over from the other world.
It was also him who had tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate Huo Shaoheng under he chengjian’s orders, but had been blocked by Gu Nianzhi.
Because of this, Qin zhining had been arrested and had almost been shot to death.
Qin zhining’s brother, Qin Zhiyuan, personally came to he zhichu and begged Gu Nianzhi. Gu Nianzhi agreed not to pursue the matter, and Qin zhining was released.
After that, she had no contact with him.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it and said, “Not for now. Look, when they returned to the country, Qin Suwen was already married to he chengjian. What’s the use of asking them?”
They wanted to investigate Qin Suwen’s childhood.
It was also the whole story of Qin Suwen’s father, Qin Huichang, selling his land back then.
“That’s true.”Gu Nianzhi looked at the timeline listed on the information and sighed softly. “Then we can only look for their former colleagues, friends, and neighbors.”
Huo Shaoheng pulled out a photo from his phone.
The photo showed an old man with a white beard and hair sitting in a wheelchair.
The background was the lush green lawn of a nursing home.
“Qin Huichang was an a.s.sociate professor at the university. After so many years, many of his colleagues have pa.s.sed away. This is one of the few who are still alive.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at it curiously for a while and said, “Where are the others?”
“Those people have Alzheimer’s. It’s useless to find them.”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
“So we only have this one colleague to ask.”Gu Nianzhi sighed lightly. “It’s been too long. I wonder if Auntie he found these people back then…”
Huo Shaoheng pulled up the information on the nursing home and said as he read, “Qin Suwen didn’t need to find these people back then. She was the person involved and knew better than these people. Why did she look for them?”
“That makes sense.”Gu Nianzhi pondered, “But we have to ask. First of all, we don’t have the information on Qin Suwen back then. Second, those who are in the middle of this are in the dark, and those who are watching are clear. We should investigate and obtain evidence ourselves.”
“That makes sense.”Huo Shaoheng studied the information on the nursing home and said, “In order to prevent someone from spying on this person, we have to modify it.”
Gu Nianzhi widened her eyes in surprise. “No Way? ! Will someone really be spying on him?”
“I’m not afraid of 10,000, just in case.”Huo Shaoheng was very cautious. “He’s the only colleague Qin Huichang can talk to.”
“… Okay.”Gu Nianzhi’s occupation was different from Huo Shaoheng’s, so she chose to listen to Huo Shaoheng’s opinion. “How do we modify it?”
“Volunteer at the nursing home.”Huo Shaoheng pulled up a message, “Look, there’s a volunteer group made up of ordinary citizens around this street. They go to the nursing homes regularly every week to socialize with the elderly there. We’ll go in with this volunteer group.”
“That’s Great!”Gu Nianzhi’s eyes sparkled and she smiled. “Even if someone is watching us, they’ll definitely not notice us!”
If they had specifically come to visit this person, it would have been too sudden and would have alerted the enemy.
Huo shaoheng said, “They’re going to this nursing home for an activity tomorrow. We’ll follow them in.”
Gu nianzhi nodded and left Huo Shaoheng in charge.
Early the next morning, Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi woke up and Huo Shaoheng put on a middle-aged and elderly make-up for Gu Nianzhi.
He was skilled and no less skilled than the professional make-up artists.
When Gu Nianzhi saw herself and Huo Shaoheng’s aging faces in the mirror, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. She muttered,”… I grew old with you…”
“Yeah.”Huo Shaoheng tilted his head and kissed her. “The most romantic thing is to grow old with you.”
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but laugh. “That doesn’t count. I Won’t accept you stealing lyrics…”
Huo Shaoheng smiled as well. He changed into an old-middle-aged coat from Taobao and left the apartment with her.
They went to the street office and met up with the volunteer group there.
Huo Shaoheng used some unknown method to get along with the organizers of the street. He quickly expressed his interest in joining the volunteer group and going to the nursing home.
As a volunteer, the more the merrier.
They didn’t have to pay for it, so of course they were happy to agree.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng got into the volunteer car and drove to the nursing home.
The nursing home was near an eco-farm on the outskirts of C city. The location was pretty good.
The air was fresh and the scenery was beautiful. Old people in twos and threes basked in the sun on the lawn.
Gu Nianzhi immediately saw Qin Huichang, a university professor, sitting alone in a wheelchair under a tree. He was looking down at the ants as they moved.
