No, she couldn’t cry. She had cried too many times in front of Huo Shaoheng, so she definitely couldn’t cry this time.
Under the moonlight, she raised her head and smiled. Although she tried her best to endure it, her nose wrinkled slightly, and her eyes gradually turned red. The corners of her eyes and brows were flushed.
Huo Shaoheng stared at her and said calmly, ” … Why are you holding back your tears? In front of me, you can cry if you want to, and laugh if you want to.”
This sentence was like an order.
Gu Nianzhi’s tears instantly flowed out.
Brighter than the moonlight, crystal-clear tears hung on her fair cheeks.
Huo Shaoheng didn’t speak. He simply held her head in his arms and embraced her.
His embrace was warm and strong, yet was also something so irresistibly gentle that she couldn’t refuse.
Even though they were up on a tree, and they were out in the wilderness, he held up the entire sky for her.
Gu Nianzhi felt that she loved him even more now than before she went to the Alps.
Back then, her love for him was intuitive, and a sort of worship towards her idol.
Now, love had settled in the depths of her heart. Even though she had gone through so much, and her heart had gone through so much emotional turmoil, when she looked back on the road she had come from, the only person she wanted to be with for the rest of her life was him.
Leaning in his arms, she couldn’t feel even the slightest bit of the cold Siberian wind.
Gu Nianzhi was quiet for a while, and gradually became sleepy. Her head was like a chicken pecking at rice.
Huo Shaoheng gazed at her passionately and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
The kiss was tender and sweet.
” … Are you going to sleep?”
Unable to keep her eyes open, Gu Nianzhi grunted.
Huo Shaoheng took off the Burberry woolen lined overcoat she was wearing and took off his overcoat to wrap Gu Nianzhi inside.
Gu Nianzhi’s woolen lined overcoat was like a blanket over the two of them.
..
After a long night, the first rays of the morning sun appeared.
Gu Nianzhi’s long eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened them.
Huo Shaoheng’s body was warm. His mature manly aura was like a mountain that could withstand wind, frost, rain, and snow.
She looked at herself. She was only wearing a wool cardigan and thin wool pants.
However, Huo Shaoheng was holding her tightly in his arms. The two of them were wrapped together in his overcoat. Besides the overcoat, Gu Nianzhi’s wool-lined Burberry military uniform overcoat was also there.
No wonder it was so warm last night. She almost broke out in a sweat.
Gu Nianzhi gently blew on Huo Shaoheng’s chin and smiled mischievously.
Huo Shaoheng woke up as soon as Gu Nianzhi moved.
However, he couldn’t be bothered to open his eyes and continued to close them to rest.
It wasn’t until Gu Nianzhi started to play tricks in his arms that out of awkwardness, he lowered his head, and with his eyes closed, he leaned over to bite her round and delicate earlobe, then said hesitantly, ” … Good morning. ”
Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”
Her ears felt a piercing itch.
She shrank her neck and chuckled as she said, “What? Are you hungry? Are you eating my earlobe for breakfast?”
” … Can’t I? ”
“Sure, but you have to ask for its permission. ” Gu Nianzhi cock her head and said with a smile, “You can ask my earlobe. If it agrees to it, then it’ll be my lost.”
Huo Shaoheng: ” … ”
He leaned on Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder and took a deep breath. His hot breath made Gu Nianzhi shiver.
She smiled as she dodged between the narrow branches, but she didn’t fall from the tree.
Huo Shaoheng held her waist tightly.
Huo Shaoheng felt like her waist was so slim that he could wrap one hand around it.
It was so thin and so flexible.
Huo Shaoheng couldn’t help thinking about the “fold” he had once had..
Gu Nianzhi sensed that something was wrong and didn’t dare move again. She obediently snuggled in his arms and started blabbering nonsense to divert Huo Shaoheng’s attention.
“Major General Huo, how far away is Tunguska? Can you get someone to pick us up?”
Huo Shaoheng suppressed the thoughts inside and calmly said, “It’s not far. If we drive, we’ll definitely be there in another five or six hours.”
Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”
“We still have to drive for another five or six hours, yet you don’t think it’s far? ! ” Gu Nianzhi glared at him and tapped Huo Shaoheng’s firm chest with her finger. “Can you be more realistic about time and distance?”
Huo Shaoheng grabbed her hand. “What do you want for breakfast?”
Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”
He spoke as if she could eat whatever she wanted!
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. “I want preserved egg and lean meat congee, soup dumplings, soy milk, fried dough sticks… ”
Huo Shaoheng looked down at her and put her coat on. He adjusted his clothes and said, “Don’t think about it. We’ll talk about it when we get down.”
Gu Nianzhi stretched. ” … Then why are you still asking?”
The two of them jumped down from the tree, and Gu Nianzhi finally saw the birch forest clearly.
It was indeed very dense. Even though it was dawn, the forest was still as dark as it was at dusk.
Only the morning light that shone through the gaps between the leaves added a touch of light to the dense forest.
“Will the gangsters come?” Gu Nianzhi dragged her two suitcases and followed behind Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng held a gun in both hands as he led the way. One of his hands rushed forward slightly, while the other held a long pistol.
Huo Shaoheng said nonchalantly, “They are probably still be coming. As long as these people aren’t working with the KGB, we don’t have to worry.”
“They aren’t.” Gu Nianzhi shook her head confidently. “Uncle Ivan and Vladimir won’t make things difficult for us.”
The sight of the driver’s back through the scope yesterday had confirmed Gu Nianzhi’s belief.
Huo Shaoheng was now suspecting that Vladimir and the driver weren’t the masterminds behind the scenes and that the two of them had been caught in the crossfire.
But who was the mastermind behind the scenes?
This question was very important because it concerned the extent to which the Russian mafia were willing to go.
In essence, there was still a big difference between the Russian mafia and terrorist organizations.
The people of the terrorist organizations were unreasonable. To them, there were only two paths. One was to join them, and the other was a dead end.
But to the general public, these two paths were dead ends.
But the Russian mafia was different. Their goal was very clear. They wanted money.
As long as nobody got in the way of their riches, they wouldn’t do crazy things.
Similarly, as long as someone paid them handsomely, they would be willing to get rid of their own boss as well.
So, exactly how much money did the mastermind behind the scenes spend to hire the most powerful Russian mafia to do their dirty work
Many candidates appeared in Huo Shaoheng’s mind in an instant, but he rejected them one by one.
This was because these people either did not have enough money or were not powerful enough. They weren’t worth the capital that the Russian mafia had invested in the assassination attempt.
After analyzing it for a long time, Huo Shaoheng could not believe that there was anyone in this world who could afford to buy his and Gu Nianzhi’s assasination.
This was a huge sum of money.
The price would be comparable to the highest security aircraft carrier manufacturing plant or the research and Development Center for new fighter jets.
Huo Shaoheng came to the edge of the Birch forest and looked at the jeep that was still at the gas station.
It was already dawn, but the place was still desolate. It might have been too early, but there wasn’t even a passing car.
Huo Shaoheng muttered, “Why don’t we go change the tires on that car?”
Gu Nianzhi stuck her head out to take a look. Just as she was about to agree, she saw the middle-aged driver and Vladimir approaching.
She and Huo Shaoheng stopped dead in their tracks and hid behind a huge birch tree.
At the gas station, the driver opened the trunk and pulled out his toolbox, spare tires, and jack. He placed them on the ground.
Vladimir crossed his arms as he stood at the side and said sarcastically, “We’ll have cars coming soon. What’s the point of changing the tires?”
“Who knows how many cars they’ll drive? I’ve been driving this car for years. Just like my wife, I can’t bear to abandon it here alone.” The driver smiled and said to Vladimir, “Call Cereus and have them come over.”
“Why should I call?!” Vladimir glared at him, but still took out his phone.
But when he opened the phone, he quietly opened WeChat and took a look at his moments.
Last night, Gu Nianzhi had posted a status on her moments page.
[ Nez Here ] : Gratitude.JPG, Uncle Ivan’s deep friendship can only be repaid with a red envelope!
Then there is a screenshot of the 888.88 Big Red Envelope.
He quickly clicked on it and found himself pulled into a chat group called “KGB trio”.
When he clicked on it, he immediately saw the 888.88 exclusive big red envelope!
Vladimir instantly felt as if he had received 10,000 likes!
