Chapter 1232 Return the Favor
Gu Nianzhi did not understand Russian, but she should roughly grasp that she was thanking her, shouldn’t she?Huo Shaoheng continued to be her translator.
He put his arm around her shoulders and said gently, “This lady is thanking you for saving her child, Little Dimi.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, “It’s fortunate that the child is fine. Don’t leave the child alone in the future. Many people will covet such an adorable child!”
After Huo Shaoheng translated her words, the hostess in leopard-print clothing also laughed and hugged her son as she gave him a kiss, and said “My little Dimi really is super adorable!”
Any mother would be happy upon hearing someone praise their child for being adorable.
The relations.h.i.+p between the two of them immediately became more intimate.
After leaning into his mother’s arms, the little boy Dimi felt safe. He was no longer afraid and began to babble on about what had just happened.
” … They were getting married! The groom was kissing the bride!”
“Someone kidnapped me!”
“The bride came to save me, and the groom beat up the bad guys! He was as impressive as my daddy!”
In Dimi’s eyes, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng were the bride and the groom.
Earlier, some of the KGB members were suspicious about Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng appearing there at such a time. Upon hearing Dimi’s words, they all looked towards Gu Nianzhi’s left middle finger.
There was indeed a huge diamond ring!
The middle-aged KGB driver immediately covered his eyes and shouted in English, “My eyes! My Eyes!”
A flash of envy also flashed across the eyes of the hostess in leopard-print clothing when she saw the ring.
She knew that the ring on her middle finger was probably an engagement ring. It seemed like the couple had just proposed at the tomb of the unknown warrior, and they just happened to b.u.mp into each other.
She turned around and said to the people behind her, “Bring me my flowers.”
A chubby woman panted as she walked over with a large bouquet of flowers in her arms.
The hostess in leopard-print clothing picked out a bright red rose from the bouquet and handed it to Gu Nianzhi, then said, “Thank you for rescuing my son. This rose is for you. I wish you success in your engagement!”
Gu Nianzhi received the flowers and smiled sweetly. “Thank you.”
She watched as a group of people escorted the the hostess in leopard-print clothing and the little boy, Dimi, to the tomb of the unknown warrior.
It appeared like they really had brought the child to present flowers, but for some reason, the little boy ran over there first, and got targeted, so today’s incident occurred.
The two men and women, who had been beaten to death, were immediately carried away to be gotten rid of. Someone brought a shovel and a bucket to clean the floor.
Huo Shaoheng said to Gu Nianzhi, “Let’s go.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded and left with him.
Just as the two of them turned around the corner, Gu Nianzhi’s phone rang.
She picked it up and glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar Russian number.
She thought about it and answered the call in English. “h.e.l.lo.”
The person on the other end paused and said in English, “Thank you for saving Dimi,” he then added, “I heard that you two got engaged today. I will give you a big engagement present tomorrow.”
Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”
Who was this?
How generous!
The call ended quickly.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng and said in confusion, “Someone thanked me for rescuing that little boy.” She then added, “A man.”
Actually, the two of them had rescued him together, but these people only thanked her without thanking Huo Shaoheng, so Gu Nianzhi felt a little unhappy.
She tugged at Huo Shaoheng’s hand sulkily. “You clearly contributed the most. If it was just me, that child couldn’t have been rescued today…”
What was the meaning of deliberately ignoring Huo Shaoheng’s contributionss?
Gu Nianzhi felt indignant for Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng felt warm inside. He kissed her on the cheek. “It’s alright as long as my wife remembers. Who cares about the others?”
Gu Nianzhi wanted to appear a.s.sured and aloof, but she couldn’t conceal the smile on the corners of her lips.
The two of them walked a few more steps before Vladimir, the second-in-command of the KGB, and the KGB driver, caught up.
“Cereus! Cereus!”
Gu Nianzhi turned around to see them and asked in surprise, “What’s the matter? Is there anything else?”
Vladimir stopped and panted slightly. “It’s like this, you’ve done us a huge favor today!”
Indicating that she really had done them a “huge” favor, he gestured with his hand.
Gu Nianzhi was amused by him. “It’s a piece of cake. No matter who the kid is, I wouldn’t have sat by doing nothing.”
“I hate human traffickers the most!” Gu Nianzhi raised her fist to show her hatred.
“Human traffickers?!” Vladimir was flabbergasted, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a big smile, “They are human traffickers! They are human traffickers! ”
The KGB driver chuckled to himself as he thought about how the two elite MI5 agents who had tried to kidnap little Dimi were accused of being human traffickers!
If they were still alive, they would have been just as amused..
But he took a liking to Gu Nianzhi!
The KGB driver got excited, so he beat Vladimir to it. “Oh Cereus, you’re so good at catching human traffickers! You’ve contributed so much, and today is your engagement day. We’re going to give you a gift! Tell us, what gift do you want? As long as we can, we’ll definitely grant your wis.h.!.+”
Vladimir glared at the driver. Stealing the show?! Drama Queen!
These were clearly his lines!
Vladimir pushed the middle-aged driver away as he nodded. “Yes, what gift do you want? What is your wish? As long as you mention it, we will definitely think of a way to grant it!” After saying that, he winked and emphasized, “Really, you know how we are. There is nothing in this world that we can not achieve!”
His promise was backed by the entire KGB, or even Russia!
Gu Nianzhi wanted to laugh. She finally realized who was really thanking her..
However, the person they should be thanking the most was Huo Shaoheng, not her.
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and said with a smile, “Really? You’re not bluffing, are you? You really can fulfill any wish?”
“Of course. You’re so nice, so you definitely won’t make any unreasonable requests. ” Vladimir smiled brightly. “Do you think we’ll promise simply anyone? ”
Gu Nianzhi smiled even more innocently. “Really? I do have a wish, and only you guys can fulfill it.”
“Say it! Just say it! If we can’t do it, we’ll admit defeat! ” Ready to go all out, the KGB driver rolled up his sleeves.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng and smiled. “I really like your Tu-160 White Swan bomber. My wish is for my fiancé to fly me around in the TU-160. Is that okay?”
Actually, the person who really liked this bomber was Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng’s heart jumped.
If he had the chance to personally fly the TU-160, he, whose soul belonged to a fighter pilot, would die without any regrets!
“Huh? You want this?” Vladimir and the driver were very surprised.
They had originally thought that this little girl would want a designer bag or even an upscale apartment in Moscow. They had already prepared everything.
Unexpectedly, what she really wanted was for her fiancé to take her on a flight — 160!
It was something they expected and yet didn’t foresee at the same time.
The two of them glanced at each other, then took out their phones together. They dialed a special number and immediately began to blabber unintelligibly.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng stood beside each other quietly.
Huo Shaoheng gazed at her and asked with his eyes, “Why?”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and raised the big diamond ring in her hand. She mouthed silently, “It’s a gift to return the favor.”
He had given her a one-of-a-kind big diamond ring, and she had also granted him what he wished for the most.
..
Not long after, Vladimir hung up the phone and said with a big smile, “Yes, they agreed! We can let you fly the most advanced map-160160m2, which is the upgraded version of the MAP-160!”
Actually, it was an upgrade in terms of the GPS system and engine of the best performing old Tu-160s, so it wasn’t really considered a brand new aircraft.
They can’t build a brand new tu-160 from scratch at the moment.
Huo Shaoheng’s heart was pounding, but he maintained his composure on the surface. However, his voice sounded a little shaky as he said politely, “I hope it won’t be too much trouble for you. ”
“Of course not! Just treat it as a test flight for us!” The middle-aged KGB driver said quickly.
“Will it kill you to stay quiet?!” Vladimir roared at him.
The two of them bickered with each other the entire way. They got into the car with Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng, then headed towards the secret airfield of the military base.
..
On the tarmac in the distance, Beautiful White Swan strategic nuclear bombers were lined up in neat formations, and appeared ready to fly into the sky at any moment.
Gu Nianzhi was awestruck.
“The Russians really have reached the pinnacle of their violent aesthetics.” She muttered in awe as she got out of Vladimir’s jeep.
“Of course.” The middle-aged driver poked his head out of the jeep and whistled. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it? When it drops its bombs, boom! Its beauty is second to none!”
Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”
Vladimir winked at Huo Shaoheng mirthfully. “Your fiancée is really impressive. She helped you fulfill your wish. This is her engagement gift to you, isn’t it?”
Huo Shaoheng: ” … “
