Hello, Mr. Major General

A genius scientist who rather fakes his death and hides his identity is jealous of Ishihara Baisan, a second-rate scientist who never had any significant achievements?

Huo Shaoheng did not believe a word of it.

However, this person was Lu Jin, Gu Nianzhi’s biological father. Therefore, he could not use any means against him…

Huo Shaoheng sighed and said lightly, “Uncle Lu, do you think Nianzhi will believe the reason?”

Lu Jin’s face fell again.

He rubbed his messy hair and muttered,”… If you don’t tell her, then she won’t know it, right?”

Lu Jin’s face suddenly lit up looked at Huo Shaoheng excitedly as if he had found a great idea. “Yes! Just say that I came out for a drive and didn’t do anything. I just went for a stroll and came back!”

He clapped his hands, “Nothing will happen! Everything will be fine!”

If this was a post on social media, he would have liked his posts countless times.

Huo Shaoheng coughed and said seriously, “Uncle Lu, I have never lied to Nianzhi.”

When Huo Shaoheng said that, he thought that it was a good thing Nianzhi wasn’t here. If she had heard him say that, she would have scoffed at him…

He had lied to her countless times, but there were always legitimate reasons, so she didn’t care.

Lu Jin’s expression became a little twisted after hearing Huo Shaoheng say this.

He was naturally happy when he heard this man say that he never lied to his daughter.

What kind of father would like someone who lies to his daughter so often?

But now that Huo Shaoheng wouldn’t lie, he will be the one who will suffer.

This seems a little tricky.

Lu Jin stared at Huo Shaoheng for a long time but couldn’t find the right words to rebut.

If Lu Yuan were here, he would have definitely laughed out loud because he had finally “Gotten his big revenge.”.

How many times had he been scolded by Lu Jin? It was sad to even talk about it.

The two didn’t speak a single word the way until they drove back to the parking lot below the apartment building. Lu Jin looked at the apartment building and sighed endlessly.

He had never thought that he would be able to come back…

He had decided that he would roam the world again from today onwards and not contact anyone until he accomplished his plan.

He had never thought that he would be able to come back alive.

Huo Shaoheng stopped the car and unbuckled his seatbelt. As he was about to get out of the car, he saw that Lu Jin was still sitting there with no intention of getting out.

“Uncle Lu? We’re here.” He reminded him and pushed open the door to get out of the car.

Lu Jin was still sitting in the car motionlessly with a conflicted expression on his face.

Huo Shaoheng turned to look at him.

Lu Jin still did not get out of the car and stammered,”… How about I don’t go back? Just tell Nianzhi that you lost me…”

Huo Shaoheng:”…”

“Uncle Lu, are you questioning my level of professionalism?” Huo Shaoheng looked displeased. “If I, someone from the Committee of State Security (KGB), can lose someone who has a GPS, I would have to commit hara-kiri just like what the Japanese do.”

The corners of Lu Jin’s eyes twitched. He was actually a little afraid to face Gu Nianzhi’s questioning.

He stuck his head out of the car and stuttered,”… Then what should we do? Do… do we really have to tell the truth?”

Huo Shaoheng already had an idea.

He calmly walked to the other side and opened the car door for Lu Jin. He politely said, “Uncle Lu, maybe Nianzhi won’t ask, though I’m not too sure about this.”

After all, “Peter” and Gu Nianzhi had only known each other for a short while…

Lu Jin actually knew that Gu Nianzhi wouldn’t be fooled so easily, but he was always hoping for the best.

What if she was too tired and fell asleep?

Then he should be able to come out with a complete set of excuses by the next day.

Lu Jin pulled himself together and got out of the car. He smiled at Huo Shaoheng and said, “Thank you so much for today. You don’t have to go up. Go home and get a good night’s sleep.”

He looked at his watch. It was almost three in the morning.

He wanted to send Huo Shaoheng away so he wouldn’t have the chance to “complain” to Gu Nianzhi about him.

Lu Jin smiled smugly.

Huo Shaoheng also smiled. He put one hand in his trouser pocket and secretly sent Gu Nianzhi a text message: [ Call me ].

How could Gu Nianzhi fall asleep?

She had been anxiously waiting for news.

She had already found out about what had happened at Dunxi Road Hotel from the Internet. Although it wasn’t evident, a lot of gossips had already surfaced.

For example, the “international murder case”, the capital’s crime squad, and then there was the fire alarm…

Although it was early in the morning, the Internet was bustling with activity. It also happens to be the New Year.

She looked at Lu Jin’s GPS and saw that he had arrived at her apartment but hadn’t come up. She had initially planned to send Huo Shaoheng a text message to ask what was going on.

She happened to see the text message that Huo Shaoheng sent to ask her to call. Gu Nianzhi immediately dialed the “King of Drama” shortcut key.

Huo Shaoheng’s phone thus started to ring.

He quickly picked up the call and asked with a smile, “Nianzhi, are you still awake?”

Gu Nianzhi asked anxiously, “How can I sleep! What’s going on? Why aren’t you guys up yet? Are you dawdling in the parking lot for the New Year?!”

Her voice was already so loud. On top of that, Huo Shaoheng deliberately turned his phone volume up to the maximum.

The parking lot was as quiet as a desolate wasteland in the early morning. It sounded as if the speaker had been turned on.

Lu Jin was embarrassed.

It turned out that his girl had been monitoring his movements the entire time…

Huo Shaoheng looked troubled. He glanced at Lu Jin and mouthed, “What should we do?”

Lu Jin glared at Huo Shaoheng and waved his hand vigorously. Huo Shaoheng then said, “Nianzhi, your father is here. I want you to talk to him.” As he spoke, he shoved the phone into Lu Jin’s hands.

Lu Jin found himself stuck between whether he should answer the phone. He was so annoyed by Huo Shaoheng.

However, Gu Nianzhi called out, “Dad… Dad… say something!”

Lu Jin couldn’t resist when he heard Gu Nianzhi’s voice.

He picked up the phone helplessly and whispered, “Nianzhi, why aren’t you asleep?”

“Is it even possible for me to sleep now?” Gu Nianzhi was furious. “I’ll give you five minutes! After that, if you don’t come up, I’ll go down!”

“No, no, no!” Lu Jin immediately surrendered. “We’ll come up right away! Don’t come out! It’s cold outside. It’s warm in your room. No matter how many coats you wear, it’ll be cold outside. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

As he nagged on, he was already walking towards the elevator.

Huo Shaoheng heaved a sigh of relief.

It was a good thing they had Gu Nianzhi.

Otherwise, they really wouldn’t have been able to handle Lu Jin.

As the two entered the lift, Lu Jin pressed the button to go up. He didn’t even look at Huo Shaoheng as he held his phone and muttering to Gu Nianzhi about something.

Huo Shaoheng did not care. Instead, he stood next to him with a calm expression and practically escorted him into Gu Nianzhi’s suite.

“Dad! Where did you go in the middle of the night?!” Gu Nianzhi rushed out of the bedroom in a light pink coral casual dress.

She was wearing a pair of fluffy panda slippers. As she ran, she almost tripped in the living room.

Lu Jin saw his daughter and forgot to maintain himself. He immediately ran over to catch her and said, “Don’t worry, I’m back.”

“Dad! Don’t scare me!” Gu Nianzhi’s nose was red, and her eyes were watery. She tugged at Lu Jin’s shirt and finally burst into tears. “It wasn’t easy for me to find you, Dad… and you are going to abandon me?”

“I don’t want to be an orphan anymore… Dad… don’t abandon me… I don’t want to be an orphan without parents anymore…”

In the beginning, Gu Nianzhi didn’t really care who her biological parents were. Huo Shaoheng had taken excellent care of her, so she didn’t have any regrets in this regard.

But later, when she interacted with the outside world, she gradually realized that having parents was different. They were completely different from the kind of feelings Huo Shaoheng had given her.

It wasn’t until she came here that she felt Lu Jin’s meticulous care and care for her. He had unconditionally doted on her and cared for her. Only then did Gu Nianzhi truly realize that children who had been doted on by their parents were genuinely different. They were incredibly confident.

Even when they lost their temper, they were wildly unbridled.

Lu Jin felt his heart sinking from Gu Nianzhi’s crying, and tears began to flow down his cheeks.

“Nianzhi, don’t cry… Nianzhi, don’t cry… Daddy wasn’t going to leave you… Daddy was…”

Lu Jin wanted to say that he was doing this for her to live a better life.

But seeing Gu Nianzhi like this, she would never accept this reason.

He didn’t say anything either. He just held her in his arms, patted her back gently, and brought her towards the bedroom. He said, “It’s late, go to bed first. If there’s anything, we can talk about it tomorrow, okay?”

Huo Shaoheng also said from behind them, “Nianzhi, you sleep for a while. I’ll stay here and take care of Uncle Lu for you.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly said, “Then it’s settled. Mr. Peter will watch Daddy for me. I’ll go and sleep for a while.”

She was indeed very sleepy. When she lacks sleep, her brain doesn’t process information as well.

She couldn’t think of any good ideas at this time.

Lu Jin had wanted to chase Huo Shaoheng away, but now that his daughter had asked him to stay and watch over him, he didn’t dare to say no.

After Lu Jin finally managed to coax Gu Nianzhi to sleep, he gently closed her bedroom door and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

The ceiling light in the living room was switched off, leaving only a tiny gray table lamp on the small table next to the sofa.

Lu Jin sat in the shadow of the lamp and wiped his face tiredly. “What should we do? What should we tell Nianzhi tomorrow?”

Huo Shaoheng sat opposite him and said calmly, “To be honest, Nianzhi is not an ignorant girl. She has experienced more things than we thought. You have to learn to treat her like an adult.”
