Chapter 2044: Chapter 2044 fishermen and fish (7)(second update)
Huo Shaoheng looked up in confusion.”… Nianzhi is missing? How could you not know?”
Yin s.h.i.+xiong had immediately told Huo Shaoheng when he had received General Ji’s call. He hadn’t had the time to investigate the truth.
Yin s.h.i.+xiong and Zhao Liangze looked at each other when Huo Shaoheng said this. They both remembered that Gu Nianzhi had people from their special operations forces with her.
Indeed, if Gu Nianzhi had really gone missing, they would have been the first to know.
However, speaker long had asked General Ji to deploy the special forces, so it didn’t seem like it was fake.
Yin s.h.i.+xiong immediately said, “General Ji’s phone call is real, but we haven’t contacted anyone close to Nianzhi yet.”
“Then contact her immediately.”Huo Shaoheng’s voice became stern.
After the incident of Nianzhi being kidnapped and brought to the other world more than a year ago, Huo Shaoheng actually couldn’t hear the word “Missing”anymore.

However, he had a more stable mentality and a big heart. No matter how anxious he was in his heart, he still appeared calm and composed on the surface, as if nothing could faze him.
Moreover, as someone in a higher position, such an att.i.tude was very important and could be used to stabilize the morale of the troops.
Yin s.h.i.+xiong and Zhao liangze immediately used different methods to contact the people around Gu Nianzhi.
Soon, the people on the other end of the line picked up the phone and asked them what was the matter.
Yin s.h.i.+xiong quickly asked, “Where are you? Is Miss Gu with you?”
The person who answered the phone was standing by the door of a reception room at Sheraton Hotel.
The door of the reception room was tightly shut. It was decorated with dazzling gold and jewels. It was simply gorgeous to the point of being c.u.mbersome. It was the standard style of a 17th century Baroque.
Because the roof was relatively high, it did not appear oppressive.
Even the wallpaper was dark gold with real gold-plated stripes. The chandelier on the roof was even more like a hanging Christmas tree, but the decorations looked like real gold and silver, full of texture.
The murals on the walls and ceiling were all in the medieval religious style. Every outline of the furniture and chairs was filled with carved details, and it was a feast for the eyes.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the reception room. She thought she would be blind any minute, so she tried her best to keep her eyes on the chief operating officer, Keven, opposite her. She did not want to be distracted by the luxurious decorations around her.
She had two a.s.sistants sitting on her left and right, four security guards behind her, and two security guards standing at the door of the small reception room with their hands behind their backs.
Keven only had one a.s.sistant standing behind him, and it was a woman. She looked completely different from Gu Nianzhi.
The security guard who answered the phone was one of the two people by the door. He looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was sitting in the chair opposite him, and answered in a low voice, “Sheraton Hotel. Yes, it’s just up ahead.”
The small reception room was filled with pleasant background music. It was the famous baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons.”Like the decoration of the reception room, it was filled with the beauty of detail.
The music was fast-paced, but because the volume was very low, it did not affect their conversation.
One of Gu Nianzhi’s security personnel wore a Bluetooth headset and took a step back. He covered his ears and asked softly,”… What’s Wrong?”
Yin s.h.i.+xiong was stunned for a moment and said, “Turn on the video.”
The gla.s.ses this person was wearing were a miniature camera.
He touched the frame of his gla.s.ses and turned on the video call to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi’s image quickly appeared on the screen in Huo Shaoheng’s office.
She was sitting in a luxurious golden and black chair, her posture elegant and her smile bright like a queen.
Huo Shaoheng couldn’t help smiling. “Ask him if he knows anything about the incident at Sheraton Hotel. And where is speaker long?”
Yin s.h.i.+xiong nodded, he immediately asked,”… the Sheraton hotel was suspected of illegally setting off fireworks and there was a gunfight. Do you know? Also, where is speaker long? Didn’t he go to the Sheraton Hotel’s Christmas party with Nianzhi?”
The security guard looked up in surprise.
He realized that the so-called windows of the reception room were actually drawn!
It looked like the luxurious stained gla.s.s of the church in the Middle Ages, but it wasn’t real gla.s.s at all.
They couldn’t see what was happening outside at all from here.
And from the looks of it, the soundproof equipment in this room was also very good.
If it was really like what Yin s.h.i.+xiong had said, why couldn’t they hear anything from their side?
He was about to push open the door when the a.s.sistant standing behind Keven suddenly bent down and whispered something into his ear.
Keven immediately stood up and said with a heavy expression, “Something happened at the hotel. I’ll be right back.”
Gu Nianzhi didn’t know what was going on, but she nodded politely. “Please help yourself.”
Just as Keven stood up, Huo Shaoheng’s expression suddenly changed and his voice was particularly deep and Husky.”… tell Nianzhi to get out quickly. We Can’t stay here any longer.”
Yin s.h.i.+xiong quickly informed the security staff.
The security staff saw this and immediately gestured to his colleague.
The four security staff standing behind Gu Nianzhi suddenly moved like statues.
The two people standing at the very end quickly rushed to Gu Nianzhi’s side. One on the left and one on the right raised her arms and carried her out of the door.
The other two pulled Gu Nianzhi’s two a.s.sistants and ran out with them.
The two security guards at the door blocked Keven and his female a.s.sistant’s path, waiting for Gu Nianzhi and the others to catch up.
Keven was still smiling, but his female a.s.sistant suddenly attacked. Her left elbow struck the security guard’s chest on the left side, and her right leg kicked the security guard’s lower body on the right side.
The security guards standing on either side of the door subconsciously stepped aside.
Keven took the opportunity to open the thick oak door of the reception room and rushed out.
His female a.s.sistant glared at Gu Nianzhi’s security guards. “What are you doing? ! Something happened at the hotel, and our chief operating officer has to deal with an emergency! Are you going to take responsibility if something happens? !”
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t figure out what they were up to. She watched as Keven’s figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor and immediately said, “Let’s talk outside first.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a m.u.f.fled sound came from the luxurious reception room behind them. Two Flames jumped out from Gu Nianzhi’s seat and Keven’s seat at the same time. Then there was billowing black smoke. The fire was fierce and swift, if she had still been sitting on it, she would have been burned to a crisp by now..
Gu Nianzhi was extremely surprised. She thought to herself that when they had entered, the security personnel had clearly checked the entire reception room and confirmed that there were no surveillance devices or remote-controlled bombs..
How had the remote-controlled bomb buried under her seat and Keven’s seat escaped their detection?
Huo Shaoheng had also seen the situation through the live video communication that had not been turned off yet. He did not have time to check the truth and only continued to order, “Meet up with speaker long. His side should be the safest.”
No matter which side it was, no one dared to touch speaker long. Huo Shaoheng saw it clearly.
Six security guards and two a.s.sistants immediately formed a human wall around Gu Nianzhi, protecting her in the middle as they walked towards the hall.
It was only then that they heard the commotion in the hotel.
Some people were shouting, some were crying, and the whistling of fireworks was accompanied by the sound of gunfire. It was the sound of a gun with a silencer.
Gu Nianzhi’s security guards were all wearing bulletproof vests. They worked closely together and quickly escorted Gu Nianzhi to the lobby.
Speaker Long was also escorted by a group of security guards as he looked around anxiously.
He looked up and saw that Gu Nianzhi had been surrounded by a group of people. He let out a long sigh. It was only when she came to his side that he grabbed her arm and asked anxiously, “Nianzhi, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Speaker long, don’t worry.”Gu Nianzhi saw the look on Speaker Long’s face and was extremely touched.
This was someone who truly cared about her!
..
What had happened at Sheraton Hotel had been tightly sealed off. There had been no news of it on social media or the internet.
Police cars and fire engines whistled by, and the streets of the capital became more and more crowded.
At this time, Song Jinning was driving toward Sheraton Hotel. Lu Yuan, who had come to pick her up, was blocked on the road and couldn’t move.
He turned on the GPS and looked at the situation in front of him. It turned out that a car accident had happened and was being dealt with.
