Chapter 1274: I Won’t Let You Guys Off The Hook!
Gu Nianzhi wasn’t hurt either. She was just a little dazed from being kicked to the ground all of a sudden.
However, when she found out that Lina had saved her, she wasn’t angry and simply asked Huo Shaoheng quickly, “Was Ms. Song hurt? Did you see clearly?!”
Huo Shaoheng shook his head calmly. “No, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?”
“I’m fine. I was just shocked. It was all thanks to Lina that I got saved.” Gu Nianzhi struggled to get off the ground and looked up to see Lina getting up from the ground without an expression on her face. She walked over to Vladimir and reached out to pull him up.
Vladimir stared at Lina for a while before holding her hand and getting up from the ground. He said sarcastically, “Major Lina’s reaction moments before was really quick!”
Lina said calmly, “It’s my duty, so I won’t dare neglect it. I won’t dare not complete the task that Lieutenant General Vladimir has given me.”
Vladimir remembered that it was he who had asked Lina to protect Gu Nianzhi and Song Jinning, and he couldn’t help feeling stifled. He felt as if he had shot himself in the foot.
The two of them were speaking Russian, so Gu Nianzhi couldn’t understand them. But when she saw the constipated look on Vladimir’s face, she knew he was making sarcastic remarks again.
Gu Nianzhi looked around and saw the driver, with his mouth agape and his face full of shock, standing by a small hill not far away.
Gu Nianzhi walked over and asked quietly, “Uncle Ivan, what are Vladimir and Miss Lina talking about?”
The driver raised a finger to his mouth and shushed Gu Nianzhi, telling her not to speak. Then he said softly, ” … Vladimir is unhappy. Lina didn’t go to save him first… ”
Gu Nianzhi felt speechless.
Was Vladimir really the second-in-command of the KGB? !
Look at how petty he was! He was like a woman!
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes then walked over to Lina and Vladimir. Looking at Lina, she reached out her hand and smiled gratefully. “Miss Lina, thank you so much for saving Miss Song! If it weren’t for you, Miss Song would have been in big trouble!”
She then changed her expression and raised her leg as she said to Lina with a sad face, “But that kick was so vicious! You almost broke my leg!”
In reality, Lina had grasped her strength very well. Gu Nianzhi’s leg was completely fine. She said that on purpose to make Vladimir feel better.
Vladimir’s lips curled into a smile, and his expression was much more relaxed than before.
Lina still had a grave expression on her face. She reached out to shake Gu Nianzhi’s hand, then let go of it. She spoke in Oxford English coldly, “Even if your leg was broken, it would still better than dying.”
Lina’s fingers were very long, and her handshake was firm and steady. Gu Nianzhi could even feel a thin layer of calluses on her fingertips. This was the mark of frequent gun training.
Gu Nianzhi had grown up in the military and was very familiar with this.
“Yes, yes, yes! I don’t want to be disfigured by that electric spark, let alone die!” She spread her hands and walked to Song Jinning’s side. She looked her up and down. “Miss Song, are you really okay?”
Gu Nianzhi was actually feeling a little stifled. Her reaction wasn’t as quick as Lina’s, or else she would have been the one to block the electric spark for Miss Song…
She really wished that she had been the one protecting Song Jinning instead of Lina.
Song Jinning understood what she was thinking. She smiled as she held her hand and said, “I’m fine, I’m fine. How about you? You didn’t hit anything when you fell to the ground moments before, did you? ”
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were greeting each other, Huo Shaoheng had already brought the professional bomb-proof personnel to the equipment that had been set on fire by the explosion and was staring at them.
Shouting for his own people to be on alert, Vladimir stood uneasily at the side. At the same time, he frowned and asked the person in charge here.
The Huaxia Empire’s entourage finally used tweezers to carefully pick out something from the equipment. They placed it in an insulated box and handed it to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng looked down and didn’t say anything. He just waved his hand. “Everyone go back and rest for today. Wait for the results of this matter to be reported. We’ll continue working tomorrow.”
As Huo Shaoheng spoke, he glanced at Vladimir.
Vladimir had already regained his composure. He looked at Huo Shaoheng with a grin and said, “Major General Huo, you responded really quickly just now! I thought you wanted to see your fiancée as soon as possible! In the end, you were looking for your mother. Hahahaha, there’s nothing wrong with that!”
His expression was one of Schadenfreude. Even if someone had thought nothing of it, his words would make them feel ill at ease…..
Unfortunately, he had run into Gu Nianzhi and Song Jinning.
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow and smiled at him. “Lieutenant General Vladimir, you sound like one of those gossips at the market who only wants to stir up trouble! You’re so petty!”
Vladimir’s face instantly darkened.
Song Jinning ran her fingers through Gu Nianzhi’s hair with a smile and said gently, “Yes, I also thought Shaoheng was wrong. Nianzhi was obviously more in danger, but he came to look for me first. That wasn’t good. Let’s talk about the facts. Whoever is in the most danger is the priority.”
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, “It was clearly you who was in the most danger, and I was pushed away by Miss Lina long before. It was indeed dangerous just now. If you had suffered even the slightest injury, I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life.”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law comforted each other as if no one else was around. Vladimir’s eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets as he looked at Huo Shaoheng. He couldn’t help feeling deeply envious and jealous…
The middle-aged driver walked over and smiled at Vladimir. “Boss, don’t be envious of others. Come on, I care about you. Where are you feeling unwell? Tell me about it.” As he spoke, he gave Vladimir’s shoulder a heavy pinch.
Vladimir screamed in pain. “Are you trying to murder your boss?! You’re using too much force. Do you want to die?!”
He gave the driver a few kicks and wanted to seize the opportunity to leave.
Huo Shaoheng stopped him and said without an expression, “Mr. Vladimir, let’s talk. ”
Vladimir’s face twitched twice and he put on a smile. “I’m fine, Major General Huo, you don’t have to worry about me, I… ”
Before he could finish, Huo Shaoheng grabbed him by the other shoulder and dragged him into the jeep.
The driver quickly followed and sat in the driver’s seat. He asked Huo Shaoheng politely, ” … Where is Major General Huo going?”
No, no, no, no
Huo Shaoheng raised his chin and gestured towards the resort. “Let’s go back.”
The driver drove them back to the resort as fast as possible.
Huo Shaoheng asked for a meeting room at the villa and went in with Vladimir.
The driver wanted to follow him in, but Huo Shaoheng said calmly, “Uncle Ivan, please help us guard the entrance. Cereus might send you a red packet later to thank you.”
The driver understood immediately. “Then I won’t go in. You guys can talk slowly. I’ll guard the place for you.”
In the meeting room of the resort villa, only Huo Shaoheng and Vladimir were left staring at each other.
Huo Shaoheng didn’t care whether there was a listening device in the conference room. Even if there was, it was perfect. He was going to tell it to those people.
He took out the device that his professional bomb-proof personnel had just found from his pocket and slammed it heavily on the long conference table in the conference room, then said sternly, “Lieutenant General Vladimir, please explain to me how the famous ‘electric spark’ of the KGB appeared in the equipment of our scientific researchers!”
This ‘electric spark’ device wasn’t a real explosive device, but a toy-like simulation device.
If it was a real explosive device, the security personnel of the Huaxia Empire would have found it long ago.
It was because it was a toy-like simulation device that they were able to avoid detection.
Its power was extremely small, and it was usually used for pranks.
The sound and smoke of the explosion were all simulated, and only the electric spark was real, so this thing was called ‘electric spark’.
Vladimir choked for a moment, then his eyes flickered as he said, ” … I’m not sure about that either. Besides, our bureau also sells this thing to the outside world. You can’t say that we planted it just because we make it, right? Besides, it was just a joke. No one was hurt. Why are you so angry ”
“Hehe, just a joke?! If it wasn’t for Comrade Lina’s swift actions, my mother and my… fiancée would have been disfigured at least now! Don’t you know what kind of power your KGB products have?!”
Huo Shaoheng slammed the table heavily and said sternly, “if the KGB doesn’t give me an explanation, I won’t let you guys off the hook!”
