Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1567 - A Tough Battle Ahead



Chapter 1567: A Tough Battle Ahead

Gu Nianzhi was brought back to the He family mansion by He Zhichu, and sent directly to her own room.

The room was heavily guarded outside, and He Zhichu was the only one in the room who personally took care of her.

He Chengjian heard that He Zhichu had returned and even brought Gu Nianzhi back, so he hurried over.

“Ah-Chu, you’re back.” He Chengjian’s gaze swept past He Zhichu’s face and looked at Gu Nianzhi in her wheelchair. He couldn’t help asking, “… How is her injury?”

“How can it be? Try using a rifle on yourself?” He Zhichu said bluntly without even lifting his head.

“… Didn’t you find a good doctor who successfully performed the surgery for her?” He Chengjian had also heard of Gu Nianzhi’s surgery at West Camp Hospital.

“Yes, if I hadn’t found a good doctor, she would already be dead by now.” He Zhichu said coldly, “I want to ask General He, are you satisfied with her half-dead state? Do you still want to use her as bait to catch someone? If so, tell me clearly now, and I’ll catch that person together later.”

He Chengjian was embarrassed by his words, but he did not dare to get angry. He said embarrassingly, “How many times have you said it? I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Don’t worry, I won’t meddle in your business anymore…”

He glanced at Gu Nianzhi from the corner of his eye. He felt both pity and regret.

Gu Nianzhi had suffered such a serious injury. Even if she recovered in the future, her body definitely would not be the same as before. She might not be able to get out of the wheelchair for the rest of her life, right?

She had been shot in the back. It was most likely a spinal injury.

He Zhichu lowered his eyes and his almond-shaped eyes flashed. “General He is a man of his word. I hope you will remember what you said. I have my own plans for my own matters.”

He Chengjian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled fawningly. “Good, good, good. It’s good that you’re back. I didn’t mean anything by it. By the way, I’ve already divorced Qin Yaoguang. I just went through the formalities this morning.”

“Okay. Congratulations.” He Zhichu raised his eyes and his attitude softened.

He Chengjian choked for a moment and quickly asked, “You are hosting the Christmas Dance tonight. Who are you going to dance with?”

Gu Nianzhi definitely was not going to be able to dance like this.

He Zhichu said without hesitation, “Nianzhi, of course.”

“Huh?” He Chengjian was stunned. “Her? … Can she stand up?”

He Zhichu looked back at He Chengjian from the corner of his eyes and smiled wickedly. “Who said that you can’t dance while in a wheelchair? I’ll show you later.”

He Chengjian: “…”

Forget it, he decided not to argue with his son. After all, he could do whatever he wanted. As long as he was willing to come back, he had nothing else to ask for.

..

At six o’clock in the evening, the roads near the He family’s mansion were crowded with all kinds of luxury cars that were parked by the roadside.

From the cars, all the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, wealthy businessmen, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, celebrities, and academic bigwigs walked toward the He family’s mansion with invitations in their hands.

On the evening of Christmas Eve, the temperature in the imperial city had dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius. The cold wind was biting cold.

It was about a five-minute walk from the warm car to the warm shed in front of the He family’s mansion. Everyone was so excited that they did not feel cold at all when they walked over.

There were staff in the warm shed checking the invitations, and there were also security guards checking everyone’s security.

There were simple stands on both sides of the greenhouse that were prepared for the news media that could not enter.

Those media personnel carried all kinds of equipment on their backs, and some of them had even turned on live webcasts to broadcast this once-a-year grand occasion for everyone.

The people who could appear here were truly top-level figures of the empire.

Qin Yaoguang and Old Master Qin came over in a modified bulletproof Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The car stopped and the bodyguard in front opened the car door for her.

Two other bodyguards surrounded her on her left and right. One of the bodyguards even held a bulletproof black umbrella, completely shielding her from view.

Qin Yaoguang’s expression was the same as usual. She wore a Vera Wang custom-made champagne-colored lace evening gown. It was the only one in the world, so she definitely was not worried about wearing the same gown as someone else.

Her figure was exquisite and curvy, and her waist was slightly plump. However, given her age and the fact that she had given birth to a child, she had already taken good care of herself.

Her hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head. Each 0.5-carat diamond was pieced together into the shape of a plain flower. It was embedded in the hair band and circled around the edge of the bun.

As soon as she walked around, the diamond plain hair band around the top of her hair bun almost shone like a rainbow under the night light.

Without a doubt, she became the center of attention.

Old Master Qin was wearing a custom-made Armani suit. He had white hair and a vigorous face. He was in high spirits and smiled when he saw people. When he greeted them, his voice was loud and pleasant. Soon, he started chatting with a few old friends from the business and political industries.

These people didn’t know about the divorce between Qin Yaoguang and He Chengjian.

When they saw her and Old Master Qin get out of the car, they were a little surprised. They gathered around and asked carefully, “Old Master Qin, your daughter went to pick you up personally to attend the Christmas Party?”

A few years ago, He Zhichu was not at home. Qin Yaoguang was the hostess of the Christmas party and was the one who hosted the dance with General He.

Old Master Qin did not shy away at all. He smiled and said, “We are all guests today. Please don’t treat us as strangers.”

… all guests?

That was interesting.

The people who could come today were all shrewd people. They knew the ulterior meaning of his words, so no one asked further.

However, after returning, these people were all muttering in their hearts. Qin Yaoguang, the original hostess, had become a guest today. Didn’t that mean that she was no longer a member of the He Family?

Then did she divorce him?

Qin Yaoguang was livid with anger. However, for the sake of a bigger goal, she still tried her best to endure it. On the surface, she appeared unperturbed.

She followed the crowd towards the He family’s warm shed. In a trance, she felt as if she had returned to more than thirty years ago. She did not give up. She had to follow her father to see He Chengjian and Qin Suwen’s engagement ceremony with her own eyes.

It was also on this winter day, the He family’s Christmas Eve Ball. She wore a bright red silk traditional dress and an Indian ruby pendant on her forehead. Beautiful and moving, she was dressed like a raging fire.

However, He Chengjian’s gaze didn’t stop on her for even a moment. He kept looking at the ordinary-looking woman beside him, as if she was all his treasures…

That gaze was like a scar, deeply engraved on Qin Yaoguang’s face.

After so many years, that scar didn’t fade away. Instead, it became deeper and deeper.

Qin Yaoguang couldn’t help but raise her hand and touch her own face.

Wen Shouyi followed Qin Yaoguang’s cousin out of a lengthened bulletproof Cadillac at the back. She walked quickly and came to Qin Yaoguang’s side. Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, she hurriedly raised her hand to hold Qin Yaoguang’s arm and whispered, “Auntie Qin, are you okay?”

Qin Yaoguang returned to her senses and gently patted the back of her hand. She said in a self-mocking tone, “I’m fine. I still want to keep my life and see our medical miracle!”

Wen Shouyi curled her lips and swept her gaze towards the media stands on both sides of the He family’s greenhouse.

The people on the other side received her signal and quickly made their preparations.

Wen Shouyi followed Qin Yaoguang and slowly walked forward. When they passed by the media stands, a female reporter wearing a dark red slim suit jacket held a microphone as she stopped them. She said very enthusiastically, “Excuse me, are you Dean Qin Yaoguang? I’m very happy to see you here. Your Qin family’s private hospital is benevolent and you’ve saved so many lives throughout the country. I think the people of the whole country are grateful to you!”

“Your medical skills are world-famous, and your scientific research is also among the best. Over the years, you have published many academic papers on brain surgery in the World Medical Journal, and you are internationally renowned.”

“I remember that there was a brain surgery expert in the United States who once said that China’s Qin was a peak that he would never be able to surpass.

“Your great name is deafening and well-known. We are proud to have a doctor like you!”

She spoke for a long time, but she didn’t ask a single question. Was this an interview or a speech?

A female reporter beside her rolled her eyes impatiently.

Qin Yaoguang, on the other hand, felt much better after hearing that. She said humbly, “You are exaggerating. I’m not that good. I have only made a little contribution that I can do. I hope everyone will continue to support the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital. The Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital has the best medical team in the world, especially in the area of biological genes. Soon, there will be a major breakthrough in gene therapy. Please wait and see.”

Wen Shouyi also said with both enthusiasm and pity, “Dean Qin has always been down-to-earth and honest. She is straightforward and not good with words. Because she has devoted herself to scientific research, she has spent less time with General He. In order not to delay General He, Dean Qin has voluntarily given up on her personal love life. I hope everyone can be merciful and not hype up this news. Give Dean Qin and General He some privacy.”

She skillfully dealt with the media, and at the same time, spread the news that Qin Yaoguang and He Chengjian had divorced. She tried her best to minimize the negative impact.

Lu Yuan was sitting in a car not that far away. He saw the scene on his phone and smiled. “This Wen Shouyi is quite a character. Nianzhi has a tough battle to fight tonight.”

He was wearing a Bluetooth headset and talking to Lu Jin.

Lu Jin did not come. He stayed in the apartment and had already cracked the He family’s security code. He knew everything that was happening.

“It’s okay. Nianzhi’s target isn’t Wen Shouyi.” Lu Jin did not think much of it. He changed the surveillance footage in front of him to that of Gu Nianzhi’s room, and waited for her to come out.
