Chapter 1384: From Her Father

Gu Nianzhi lifted herself from Huo Shaoheng’s arms and looked over Huo Shaoheng’s shoulder. She made a face at Yin Shixiong and looked very pleased with herself.

Huo Shaoheng looked down and the smile in his eyes disappeared.

He quickly carried Gu Nianzhi up the stairs and went to the second floor.

The two of them went to the second floor. Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng’s rooms were on the opposite side of the corridor.

Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a moment, then opened his own room and carried Gu Nianzhi inside.

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and smiled even more happily.

After entering, Huo Shaoheng placed Gu Nianzhi on the sofa and lowered his head to kiss her for a while before saying hoarsely, “Wait for me. I’m going to take a shower first.”

His voice was very deep and had a magnetic quality that moved her heart. It made her ears tingle.

Gu Nianzhi blushed slightly and pretended not to discern his hidden meaning. She deliberately said, “Okay, I’ll go see if dinner is ready in the kitchen…” She was about to slip away after saying that.

Huo Shaoheng grabbed her and carried her to the bathroom.

“Since you’re fine, you can accompany me in the shower.”

Gu Nianzhi refused to do so. Her flirtatious behavior made Huo Shaoheng’s body temperature rise continuously.

Finally, he pulled Gu Nianzhi into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of water drowned out all the unspeakable sounds…

..

The next day, the first signs of summer heat appeared in the imperial capital.

He Zhichu called Grandfather Xie and said that he wanted to talk to him about Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng’s engagement party.

Playing with two dark jade-like walnuts in his hands, Grandfather Xie sat under the ginkgo tree in his villa. He smiled and said, “May I ask who you are? What’s your relationship with Nianzhi? Why didn’t I know that Nianzhi had a relative like you?”

In reality, he had heard of He Zhichu before, and even knew a little about He Zhichu’s feelings for Gu Nianzhi. However, if he showed it now, he would be dwarfed in front of He Zhichu.

He Zhichu knew what Grandfather Xie was thinking. He scoffed and said, “I’m He Zhichu. My ancestors have been friends with the Gu family for generations. Nianzhi doesn’t have any other relatives, so I’m part of her family. What’s wrong? Grandfather Xie doesn’t want to admit it?”

“Hahahaha, young man, don’t be so rude! If you’re part of her family, that’s good. We can only talk to each other when you know your place, right?”

He Zhichu curled his lips and said coldly, “I just wanted to ask how the engagement party you’ve prepared is going. Nianzhi has a lot of friends and colleagues to invite. Can you show me your guess list so I can help you find out what’s missing?”

“The guest list? I’ll get my assistant to contact you.”

Grandfather Xie wouldn’t personally handle such matters. He would only let his capable subordinates handle it.

Furthermore, he was more interested in He Zhichu.

Without waiting for He Zhichu to put down the phone, Grandfather Xie asked him again, “Mr. He, right? Where did you grow up? The He family used to have a big business too. I’m sorry that it fell apart later on.”

He sounded like he knew the He family quite well.

He Zhichu became alarmed and said sullenly, “If the descendants don’t work hard, no matter how big the family assets are, they will fall apart. Is thhe Xie family different? Your ancestors’ business now only have money left.” After he said that, he hung up the phone.

Grandfather Xie looked at his phone in shock. After a while, he couldn’t help but laugh. He tapped the armrest of the rattan chair with his hand and said thoughtfully, “This He Zhichu is quite interesting…”

Not long after He Zhichu hung up the phone, Grandfather Xie’s assistant contacted He Zhichu. Not only did he share the list of names, but hhe also discussed the details of the engagement party.

This was a great show of respect for the woman’s family.

For a family like the Xie family, their etiquette was indeed impeccable.

He Zhichu was in a better mood, so he didn’t mind the scathing tone of Grandfather Xie’s words anymore.

After settling the details of the engagement party, He Zhichu took Gu Nianzhi to Japan to receive the remaining assets of “Angel in the world” while he still had a few days of free time.

Huo Shaoheng sent Xiao Ye to follow them, and also sent a few field agents to secretly protect them.

However, with He Zhichu around, Huo Shaoheng’s arrangements would be a little redundant.

Their journey to Japan was smooth, and they didn’t encounter any problems. Even when crossing the road, there were Japanese police motorcycles leading the way. It was as if the head of a country was visiting.

Gu Nianzhi was secretly surprised, but she didn’t show it on the surface.

They went straight to the headquarters of the “Angel in the world” foundation and watched He Zhichu’s staff moving documents in and out.

A person in charge of the foundation was escorted by the police. He personally handed Gu Nianzhi the key and password to a safe and said in Japanese, “This is the most precious property of our foundation and is also Mr. Gu’s masterpiece. Please be sure to check it.”

He spoke as if he was a courier.

They were obviously the ones who had appropriated someone else’s property and research results, but now they were acting as if they had “returned it to its rightful owner.” It was astonishing how thick-skinned they were.

Gu Nianzhi took the key and said with a half-hearted smile. “You’ve illegally appropriated my father’s research results for so many years. What exactly have you come up with?”

The man bent even deeper and kept saying, “We’re studying biology, and Mr. Gu’s research wasn’t that helpful…”

“Haha, why do you sound like you’re very regretful?”Gu Nianzhi looked away and looked at the welded safe in the wall of the room. “Luckily, you guys haven’t found much, or else you guys would have really gotten too big for your britches.”

Gu Nianzhi held the key and looked at it for a while. She walked to the front of the safe, inserted the key, and then entered the password. After going through a lot of complicated procedures, she finally opened the safe.

There was nothing fancy in the safe, only a dark cylindrical object.

Gu Nianzhi put on her insulating gloves and reached out to touch the cylindrical object.

Like it was made of some kind of alloy, it felt very hard.

She reached out her fingers and took out the cylindrical object.

The top part of the cylindrical object had the same design as a telephone dial-up microphone. She pressed the buttons one by one, and she could hear a beeping sound.

“What is this?” Gu Nianzhi was surprised. “What can it do? It’s so heavy.”

The man’s eyes shone with excitement as he exclaimed, “This is a quantum communicator! As long as I know your phone model, I can call you at any time without relying on the phone network!”

He Zhichu’s face instantly turned livid.

He snatched the “quantum communicator” from Gu Nianzhi’s hands, but as soon as he took it, he realized he was overthinking things.

Gu Nianzhi was taken aback by He Zhichu’s action and quickly asked, “Professor He, what’s wrong?”

He Zhichu nonchalantly put the “quantum communicator” back into Gu Nianzhi’s hands and said, “I was worried that there would be something wrong with this thing, so I helped you check it.”

“Is there a problem?”

“No.”

He Zhichu smiled and shook his head.

..

The charity foundation “Angel in the world” had been running for many years. Although it had gone bankrupt and gone into liquidation, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse, so it still had a lot of assets.

He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi only stayed in Japan for two days. They had sealed up and taken away all the things from the foundation’s headquarters. He Zhichu had entrusted the members of his legal team to continue taking over the assets of the other branches.

He Zhichu brought Gu Nianzhi back to the Huaxia Empire.

Gu nianzhi took the “quantum communicator” to Song Jinning.

“This is a quantum communicator?” Song Jinning held the cylindrical object in her hands affectionately. “I’ll go check it out. Ah, I’ve never seen a real quantum communicator before.”

She used all sorts of instruments in the lab for an entire day and night before she finally got the results.

Huo Shaoheng also attached great importance to this object. He had specially come with Gu Nianzhi to listen to Song Jinning teach them.

Song Jinning said excitedly, “This quantum communicator is indeed a genius invention. It’s a genius application of quantum theory. Only someone like Gu Xiangwen can come up with it and put it into practice.”

“It’s that powerful?” Gu Nianzhi raised her long eyebrows. “I heard from the Japanese that as long as you know the phone model, you can make a call without relying on the phone network.”

Song Jinning and Huo Shaoheng simultaneously thought of the invalid number that the mobile company couldn’t find.

However, the invalid number that Song Jinning saw was on Huo Guanyuan’s phone, while Huo Shaoheng found it on Hong Kangquan’s, Tan Dongbang’s, and Luo Jialan’s phones.

Song Jinning said thoughtfully, “This quantum communicator can disguise normal numbers as invalid numbers and use quantum theory to make real-time calls between two phones. Unfortunately…”

“What’s wrong?” Huo Shaoheng’s heart sank.

“This device is broken. It can’t test the effects that you mentioned.” Song Jinning said regretfully as she handed the quantum communicator back to Gu Nianzhi. “And its technology is too advanced. I don’t know how to fix it. Let your father fix it himself after he is found.”

Gu nianzhi stared at the cylindrical object in front of her dazedly. She caressed it with her hand and held it tightly in her arms.

This was the third thing she had from her father besides the doll and the pink diamond crown, wasn’t it?

This thing was extraordinary. It was even more precious than the doll and the pink diamond crown.

This was because her father had made it himself. It was his invention, a technological achievement that was decades or even a hundred years ahead of the world!

Huo Shaoheng glanced at the quantum communicator in Gu Nianzhi’s arms. He still had questions in his heart, but he thought that as long as the submarine was salvaged immediately, those questions would be answered.

After He Zhichu brought Gu Nianzhi back from Japan, he immersed himself in the preparations for Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng’s engagement party. He had just finished discussing the details with the Xie family, but there was trouble on Huo Shaoheng’s side.

That night, he received a call from Grandfather Xie’s assistant. He said that Huo Shaoheng had something urgent to attend to and wanted to postpone the engagement party for a month.

In addition, Grandfather Xie’s son, Xie Beichen, was tied up with an acquisition in Europe and couldn’t get away for the time being, so he agreed to postpone the engagement party for a month.

He Zhichu’s face turned cold.

Who did Huo Shaoheng think he was to postpone the engagement party?
