Hello, Mr. Major General

He Zhichu frowned slightly. “Why are you asking this?”

He glared at the Ace of the Far East unkindly. He was the one who had slapped him in the face just now by saying that he couldn’t even protect Nianzhi in his own home..

But how could they be blamed for not being prepared?

As long as that crazy Gu Xiangwen made a move, all of them combined would not be a match for him.

Gu Nianzhi tugged at the corner of his shirt and said softly, “Young Master He, can you tell me? I don’t even remember. I’m also very curious. Honestly, I can’t figure out how I was abducted right under your nose when you guys were so protective of me.”

She had a curious look on her face because she had heard from Lu Jin that he had also taken her away during that time.

He Zhichu, on the other hand, had no idea what had happened.

He looked at Gu Nianzhi’s pleading face and was unable to harden his heart towards her.

However, seeing that the Ace of the Far East was also eyeing her like a tiger, his heart stirred. He pushed Gu Nianzhi’s wheelchair and said, “I’ll take you back. I’ll tell you what happened then.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded repeatedly. “Okay, okay. We’ll go back now.”

He Zhichu pushed Gu Nianzhi’s wheelchair towards the elevator.

Although their mansion wasn’t a high-rise building, there was an elevator that led up to it. However, it was only for temporary use, and most people didn’t take the elevator.

However, Gu Nianzhi was in a wheelchair, so she needed to use the elevator to get up and down.

They entered the elevator and didn’t expect the Ace of the Far East to follow them.

“I’m sorry, customers are not allowed to enter.” He Zhichu pointed at the sign beside the elevator.

The Ace of the Far East looked at Gu Nianzhi and said coldly, “Don’t forget what I do. With me here, I can help you find out the truth.”

He Zhichu hated to see the Ace of the Far East acting like he was the best in the world. He shook his head expressionlessly. “No need. This is a family matter. Please leave.”

Gu Nianzhi did not want outsiders to know about her childhood either. She smiled at the Ace of the Far East, then said distantly, “You’re too kind, but there’s no need. I believe we can find out the truth by ourselves. You should go take care of your female companion. She’s been attracting too much attention today. I’m afraid I’ve already offended half of the female guests.”

The Ace of the Far East: “…”

He Zhichu felt very warm inside when he heard Gu Nianzhi say “we” and insult the Ace of the Far East. His sparkling almond-shaped eyes were filled with warmth. He smiled at the Ace of the Far East and closed the elevator in front of him.

The Ace of the Far East rubbed his nose and had no choice but to return to the ballroom.

..

The elevator Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu took stopped on the second floor.

He pushed her back to her room.

There were still many soldiers standing guard in the corridor. The security was tight, and Gu Nianzhi was treated much better than she was in the other world.

He Zhichu closed the door, and Gu Nianzhi stood up from her wheelchair. She stretched and said with a smile, “Hey, it’s not that easy to pretend to be paralyzed. My legs are numb.”

She did a few yoga moves to lower her waist. Her soft waist was like a willow branch, as if she could break it with just a snap of her fingers.

He Zhichu’s chest was burning. He quickly turned his head away and pushed her wheelchair to the corner of the wall.

Gu Nianzhi exercised for a while before going to the bathroom to wash her face. She washed off the makeup on her face bit by bit and sat down on the sofa while doing a facial mask. She said, “Now tell me, how did you lose me at home eight years ago?”

He Zhichu’s expression was unsightly.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, “Wait a moment, I’ll go get my computer.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded and sat back on the sofa. She took out her phone to check Weibo while drying her facial mask.

She did not have her own Weibo account, so she simply registered a few anonymous accounts to play with.

He Zhichu returned to his room and found his laptop. He opened it and looked at the contents.

Fortunately, after eight years, it was still inside. No one had touched his things.

At this time, someone pushed the door open and walked in.

He Zhichu looked up and saw He Chengjian’s gloomy face. He quickly walked to his desk.

“Ah-Chu, what are you doing?” He Chengjian slammed the desk and questioned him. “Didn’t you go find her by risking your life? For her, you were willing to give up the entire He family! Why do you suddenly want her to be your sister? !”

He Zhichu’s expression did not change. His cold and clear voice was emotionless. “… I feel a little tired. She’s too young. Perhaps it was because I spoiled her, as time went by, conflict arose.”

He Chengjian also knew that Gu Nianzhi had always rejected He Zhichu. He thought that He Zhichu would be as unyielding as he was back then, until he finally won the heart of the woman he loved.

“You’re letting go just like that? !” He Chengjian looked at him suspiciously. “You didn’t do this on purpose so that I wouldn’t interfere, did you?”

“Of course not.” He Zhichu put away his laptop and changed the topic naturally. “By the way, Nianzhi hasn’t recovered yet. I’m going to accompany her. Why don’t you host the ball downstairs? How can the ball not have a host?”

He Chengjian snorted. “I’ll take care of it. Think about it carefully. What do you want? Nianzhi is a good girl. You can’t let her down.”

He Zhichu’s lips couldn’t help twitching.

He didn’t want to let her down, but she had to give him a chance to live up to her expectations!

He Zhichu walked to the door and said plainly, “It’s better to be consensual in a relationship. Don’t worry. Maybe I’ll find a girl who loves me very soon, and then you’ll be able to hold your grandchildren.”

“Huh? ! Really? ! I’ll live to see my grandchildren? !”

Even though He Chengjian was a cunning old fox, he was still led astray by his “grandchildren”.

He grinned as he went back to the ballroom on the first floor. He greeted every guest with a smile, which made everyone feel surprised and they flattered him even more. Therefore, the guests and the host were all very satisfied.

That night, the He family’s Christmas party was an unprecedented success.

Except for the first episode where the mother was rejected, everything was perfect.

General He was in an exceptionally good mood that night. He only appeared in the second half of the show, but he was kind and amiable to people. Everyone felt refreshed and felt his incomparable charisma.

Ever since his wife had passed away, it could be said that he had not been this patient for many years.

Upstairs, Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu did not care about the bustle downstairs.

The two of them sat side by side on the sofa. He Zhichu said, “You should have seen part of it last time. I’ll show you the complete video of that time now.”

He pressed the play button, and soon, like watching a three-dimensional movie, Gu Nianzhi found that they were back in the living room on the first floor.

However, this was a birthday party, and not a glorious Christmas party tonight.

The crystal lights shone brightly, and the guests filled the room. Their clothes were lavish, and they were laughing merrily.

The living room was decorated in a childlike manner.

Large strings of hydrogen balloons were tied to the tall pillars, and the words “Happy Birthday, Nianzhi” were painted on them.

Various gold foil and garlands hung from the crystal chandelier, and many flowers of various colors decorated the entire hall.

Animal dolls of all sizes were placed around the living room, while the circus and clowns that had been invited were performing.

There were also servants in white clothes and black pants shuttling around the living room to receive guests.

This was because the living room was decorated with a lot of flowers and green bonsai plants. There were also people looking after the flowers and green bonsai plants.

Many of the guests were children about the same age as Gu Nianzhi, who was 12 years old. They were all wearing cartoon uniforms and playing around in the living room. It was extremely lively.

Some were wearing capes and dressed as the vampire count. Some were dressed as maids, while others were dressed as Cinderella.

Some had masks on their faces and dressed as little spider-man. There were also people dressed as Mickey Mouse, minions, Tigger, and even little beauties dressed as Mulan.

There were some cartoon costumes that looked luxurious and exquisite at first glance, and were obviously expensive, but some were obviously bought online for a little more than 10 yuan. The workmanship was crude.

Only the twelve-year-old Little Nianzhi did not wear a cartoon uniform. Instead, she wore a normal puffy skirt and a pink diamond crown on her head.

From the way she dressed, it could be seen that these children came from different families.

Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, “… These children are all my friends?”

He Zhichu smiled. “A few of them are your friends, but most of them are here to make up the numbers. Some of them are the children of the He family’s servants. They were specially invited to be guests to create a birthday atmosphere.”

Gu Nianzhi: “…”

“No way?” Gu Nianzhi didn’t believe him. Even though she couldn’t remember what had happened back then, she didn’t think she was such a snobbish person.

He Zhichu ruffled her long hair, he said proudly, “What’s so strange about that? It’s hard for people of different social classes to really be friends. You may have been young back then, but you were extremely smart and sensitive. You know very well whether others agree with you from the bottom of their hearts or treat you well on the surface.”

At that time, Gu Nianzhi would follow him after school and ramble on about what had happened at school. She would announce, “I don’t like him because he actually wants to please Brother He and Uncle He. He doesn’t really want to be friends with me.” She would also say, “I like her. Although her family background is average, she buys two ice-creams and gives me one. It’s too hypocritical to give them all to me, and it’s good to have one each.”

At that time, he would also carefully analyze the friends she had met in school and teach her what was sincere and what was insincere.

If she had not gone missing and lost her memories, would they have naturally developed a relationship?

His eyes dark, He Zhichu rested his chin on his hand.

There were no ifs. What happened had happened.

Gu Nianzhi wrinkled her little nose and smiled. “I didn’t know I was so talkative…”

He Zhichu’s gaze shifted to the virtual projection on the empty space in the living room. He said, “Look, for a birthday party like this, every guest has to go through a detailed background check. Even their ancestors are innocent, so they’re only fit to celebrate your birthday.”

“There are also a lot of security personnel here, orderly soldiers, and the entire mansion is completely surrounded.” He Zhichu paused for a moment, then mocked himself, “But even with such strict security, we can’t stop someone who’s too strong. If he makes a move, all of the US’ forces combined are no match for him.”

At this moment, the virtual projection in front of him happened to play the part where the lights were turned off and the candles were blown out.

It was dark for seven seconds. When the lights came back on, He Zhichu was standing alone next to the cake, and Gu Nianzhi, who had been beside him, was gone.

A pink diamond crown fell to the ground while emitting a dazzling rainbow-shaped halo under the crystal lamp.
