Chapter 1657: Exaggerating
Gu Nianzhi laughed when she heard that and immediately said, “… He won’t get hurt.”
How could someone who didn’t even forget to wear a bulletproof vest when out on the streets get himself hurt?
Lu Yuan: “…”
“Ha, look at what you’re saying. He’s a human, not a god. How could he not get hurt?” Lu Yuan said. “Besides, bombs don’t discriminate.”
“Bombs don’t discriminate, but we have eyes, so we won’t just stand there and let the bombs go off.” Gu Nianzhi said nonchalantly, “We’re all fine. Thank you for your concern, President Lu.”
“That’s good to hear. That’s good to hear.”Lu Yuan nodded. He didn’t dare to rashly text Huo Shaoheng, but he was still a little worried since he hadn’t seen Huo Shaoheng in person. “Did he send you back?”
Gu Nianzhi said, “Mr. Peter still has some matters to attend to, so he went back to the embassy.”
Gu Nianzhi was both angry and amused at the thought of Huo Shaoheng’s dark expression when he saw her and He Zhichu walk out of the house together.
Was it because he was too deep in character, or did she not know this side of Huo Shaoheng before?
After Lu Yuan left, Gu Nianzhi shook her head with a smile.
She looked up at herself in the mirror, and her smile turned into a bitter smile.
Her hair was a mess, her clothes were crumpled, and there seemed to be a smear of dust on her cheeks…
Even though she looked like this, no one had told her.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help feeling resentful.
But on second thought, everyone probably thought that this was normal after surviving a bombing and fire.
After all, it would be too fake if she was still neatly dressed, her hair was shiny, and her face was still spotless under those circumstances.
But this appearance was really unsightly…
Gu Nianzhi let out a soft sigh and went to the bathroom to clean herself up.
Huo Shaoheng returned to the Soviet embassy in the capital and rested in his room for a while.
The shock-wave from the C-X high explosive was too strong. Although he was wearing a bulletproof vest at the time, his internal organs were still impacted.
He wasn’t an iron man, so he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
But it wasn’t that serious.
After resting for a while and feeling much better, he called the doctor in and said, “Give me a check-up. I’m not feeling well today.”
The doctor was from the Soviet Union, so he quickly said, “Where are you feeling unwell? Do you need an X-ray? If you want a CT scan, it’s better to go back to the Soviet Union for a check-up.”
Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a moment and shook his head. “I don’t need it for now. Give me a routine check-up first.”
“Okay, Deputy Chief Counsel Peter, follow me to the infirmary.”
The routine checkup was done very quickly. The doctor looked at the data and said, “Your heart rate is a little fast and your blood pressure is high. Did you just finish a marathon and won the championship?”
Huo Shaoheng: “…”
“I’m fine. I had something to do just now,” Huo Shaoheng said ambiguously, “Is my body okay?”
“You’re fine. This little condition is nothing to you, but you need to rest for the time being. Don’t go running marathons anymore.”The doctor laughed and joked, “Young people have such good physiques!”
Huo Shaoheng smiled and took the medicine the doctor had prescribed for him to help him sleep. He went back to sleep.
The human body healed itself the fastest in sleep.
After sending Gu Nianzhi and the Ace of the Far East away, He Zhichu also left the He family home and went to the military base to deal with this incident.
“Young Master He, all the major media outlets have been calling us nonstop. How are you going to announce the progress of this case?”
He Zhichu received a call from the Military Legal Affairs Department and the Publicity Department, asking for instructions on how to handle this.
He Zhichu said disapprovingly, “They have to pry about everything. It’s time for the media to learn about the confidentiality rules. I’ll be right there.”
It was really hard to prevent the media from leaking secrets.
He Zhichu went to the station’s office and called in the people who participated this time to listen to their reports one by one.
The first person who came in was a bomb exploration expert. “Reporting to the Chief, the scene has been cleaned up. According to estimates, there are 0.01 milligrams of C-X high explosive residue at the ladies’ bathroom scene.”
“The fire escape is filled with ordinary TNT explosives, and the dosage isn’t high.”
“The explosives in the restaurant are of the same type as the explosives in the fire escape, but the dosage is much higher, enough to kill many people. — end of report.”
“Have the explosive residue at the scene been cleaned up?” He Zhichu asked with a frown.
“It has been cleaned up. Even if there are still remnants, they will automatically degrade after ten days of blockade.”
He Zhichu nodded without batting an eye. “Write a report and submit it. The level of confidentiality is A.”
It was second only to the highest level of confidentiality.
This was a net that he had set up to deal with the “two-faced people” on the inside and the masterminds on the outside.
The bomb exploration expert quickly stood up and saluted. “Yes, Chief. The report has been written. I will go and mark the level of confidentiality and send it up immediately.”
After he left, one of He Zhichu’s personal secretary, who was in charge of clearing the area by force, entered.
He Zhichu’s expression was the same as usual as he nodded at him. “Tell me about it.”
This personal secretary was at the Colonel level. He stood straight in front of He Zhichu and said, “Reporting, sir. There were snipers lying in ambush in three buildings near the burning building. There were a total of five snipers. All of them were killed on the spot by our fighter jets.”
“It has been verified that these five snipers are all from the Soviet Union. They entered the country as tourists three days ago.”
“Their sniper guns came from the north. They must have smuggled spare parts and then assembled them. — end of report.”
He Zhichu was silent for a moment before saying, “This information will temporarily be kept secret. It is classified level C.”
The personal secretary immediately stood up and saluted. “Yes, Chief.”
Then, the person who came in was the Lieutenant Colonel who was in charge of putting out the fire.
He Zhichu patiently listened to all the personnel in charge report. After that, he took the bomb expert’s data report and went to take a look at the bodies of the five snipers first.
“Take a DNA test, find out their identities, and seal off the information.” He Zhichu narrowed his eyes.
He wanted to see how many “two-faced people” there were in the military this time.
He Zhichu was done with his work while He Chengjian was still in a meeting.
Because the military was involved in this case, He Zhichu was called to the military headquarters compound to report his work to the military bigwigs and the cabinet prime minister who had come to the meeting.
“Major General He, may I ask why the military is involved in this case this time? Could it be that this case is not an ordinary criminal case?” The Cabinet Prime Minister, Xie Beichen, sat in the small meeting room in the military headquarters compound with his secretary and staff. His expression wasn’t very pleasant.
“Prime Minister Xie, the method and power of this case isn’t that of an ordinary criminal case,” He Zhichu said calmly, “Our bomb expert wrote a report after conducting an on-site investigation, but the confidentiality level of this report is grade A.”
It was the same confidentiality level as He Chengjian, Xie Beichen, Speaker Long, He Zhichu, and the others.
Xie Beichen was very shocked. “You mean, these bombs aren’t ordinary bombs?”
He Zhichu said ambiguously, “I have a data analysis here. As this is an important matter, please forgive me for not being able to comment on it now.”
“But I heard that you also deployed fighter jets to clear the area with force just to save your ex-fiancée.” A military Lieutenant General sitting opposite He Chengjian suddenly questioned He Zhichu, “Now, Major General He is refusing to release the field data analysis. Aren’t you deliberately exaggerating because you used your official power for personal reasons?”
