Chapter 1334 - Messages from the Past
Hello, Mr. Major General
Chapter 1334: Messages from the Past
A sealed document bag and a letter.
These two items had been kept in a Swiss bank safe by his uncle, Huo Guanyuan, more than ten years ago.
What exactly was inside?
Judging from the time, his uncle had kept these two items in the safe and had planned to give them to him as a wedding gift when he got married. It shouldn’t have been any urgent official business.
Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes, then crossed his arms and leaned back in his hardwood chair.
Under the silver LED shadow-less light, his silhouette was clear and well-defined. His delicate jaw glistened under the light, and appeared as clear and bright as jade.
The female interrogator, who returned from her assignment, glanced at him without batting an eye and knocked on the door. “Chief?”
Huo Shaoheng opened his eyes and put away the documents and letters on the table in front of him. ” … Has everything been assigned?”
“The European field operations should have started action now. If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll know the results by tomorrow morning.”
They wanted to check the flower arrangement and tea ceremony classes that Luo Jialan had attended to see if there was a Japanese woman named Aiko Yamaguchi registered in them.
Huo Shaoheng stood up and nodded with a smile. “Okay, you can leave now. Wait for my notice.”
The female interrogator flashed him a genuine smile. “I haven’t had a vacation in years. I don’t even know what it’s like to be on vacation.”
“Go back, visit your parents, and spend time withh them. You’ve worked hard these past few years,” Huo Shaoheng said gently. “Also, after you return to the team, the organization will carry out a routine review of you. This is a procedure. You understand.”
“I know. ” The female interrogator nodded calmly. “This is a work requirement.”
Huo Shaoheng took the document bag and letter and left the special operation forces’ headquarter building with her.
After returning to his official residence, Huo Shaoheng took out the two items and looked at them again. Then, he opened the sealed document bag.
The sealing method of the document bag was a common method used by them. Huo Shaoheng could open the document bag without breaking the seal.
In reality, he had done the same thing.
The seal didn’t change at all, but he had already opened the document bag.
What he took out from inside was a small stack of printed data from A4 paper.
The paper was already slightly yellowed. It was obvious that it had been there for at least 20 years.
As for the data, Huo Shaoheng looked at the first page and found that the data looked somewhat familiar. It seemed to be the data that his mother, Ms. Song, often dealt with.
He flipped through the pages, but when he saw the last page, his gaze suddenly froze.
On the last page, there was a simple message and a strong signature: Gu Xiangwen.
Huo Shaoheng never expected to see a completely unexpected signature in this document from 17 years ago.
He quickly went through all the data again and confirmed that there were no other messages on the paper except for the last page.
The message on the last page was also very brief.
“Mr. Huo, this high-energy magnetic field data was personally measured by me.
“I am willing to hand it over to you in the hope that our Huaxia Empire’s military will start high-energy magnetic field experiments as soon as possible.
As far as I know, the United States, Japan, and Germany are all conducting experiments in this field to varying degrees.
As a descendant of the Huaxia Empire and a scientist, I have the obligation to remind my motherland.
Although I have never returned to Huaxia Empire, and I am not a Huaxia Empire citizen, Huaxia Empire is still my motherland. It is the motherland of my ancestors and also the motherland of my children and grandchildren.
“I only hope that Huaxia Empire will prosper, have a strong military, and be able to resist all foreign invasions. I hope that Huaxia Empire will be able to protect the lives of its citizens, and that Huaxia Empire will be able to protect its territory from being trampled upon.
——Sincerely, Gu Xiangwen.”
Huo Shaoheng’s hands trembled slightly.
Huo Shaoheng, who was able to remain calm no matter what happened, was deeply touched at this moment.
A thin piece of paper, but in his hand seemed to have a thousand pounds.
It was as if it carried the faith and determination of the Huaxia people over the past 100 years, who continued to make great effort to save their country and survive.
This nation had experienced countless disasters over the past 5,000 years, but it had risen from the ruins time and time again to stand at the forefront of the world. It was because of these intelligent and powerful Huaxia people who were unwilling to submit!
He finally understood where the secret experiments conducted by the military originated from..
Huo Shaoheng sat motionlessly in his study. He had thought about a lot of things throughout the night. But it seemed that there were many things he did not have time to think about, just blinked, and it was dawn.
He stood up and walked to the window to open the curtains. He looked at the boundless rays of light outside the window and let out a deep breath.
He raised his hand to look at his watch. It was only six in the morning.
He didn’t know if Ms. Song had woken up yet.
Huo Shaoheng suppressed his excitement. He put on his camouflage sportswear and went out for morning exercise.
He had run the 10-kilometer cross-country steeplechase, hurdles, pull-ups, push-ups, boxing, and moving target shooting at the shooting range. He was already sweating profusely from all the activities in the simplified version of the daily physical training of the Special Forces.
However, his mind was much clearer.
By the time Huo Shaoheng returned to his official residence, it was already seven in the morning.
He called Gu Nianzhi’s room to wake her up.
When Gu Nianzhi was with him at the base, she would always wake up at seven in the morning.
But ever since she went to college, Gu Nianzhi had slacked off a lot.
Huo Shaoheng knew that she hated running the most. She had even secretly broken the treadmill in their apartment, thinking that he didn’t know…
Thinking of Gu Nianzhi’s sly and lazy mannerism, Huo Shaoheng smiled and kept dialing the internal line in Gu Nianzhi’s room relentlessly.
Gu Nianzhi was so annoyed that he finally woke her up. She angrily picked up the phone and shouted, “Why are you calling me so early in the morning?! Are you conjuring?!”
Huo Shaoheng chuckled. “Not conjuring, but waking you up from bed.”
Gu Nianzhi snapped out of her daze. “Huo… Major General Huo?!”
Was it really okay to talk dirty so early in the morning? !
“What time do you think it is? Why aren’t you up yet? ” Huo Shaoheng urged her lightly. “I’m going to Miss Song’s Insitute of High Energy Physics later. Do you want to go ”
“Huh? To see Miss Song? Yes, yes, yes!” Gu Nianzhi was very fond of Song Jinning, so she quickly agreed and got out of bed.
Huo Shaoheng saw that Gu Nianzhi had woken up, so he put down the phone.
A call came in through his bluetooth headset.
“Sir, the French field office sent back the results of their investigation.”
The team leader in charge of interrogating Luo Jialan reported to Huo Shaoheng, “They’ve checked the classes that Luo Jialan mentioned for the past two years, but haven’t seen a Japanese named ‘Aiko Yamaguchi’ sign up.”
Huo Shaoheng wasn’t surprised. “Then are there any other Japanese names?”
“No. Other than Luo Jialan’s Chinese name, all the other names are typical European and American names.”
This meant that Aiko Yamaguchi probably used a fake identity and fake name when she signed up.
But what she told Luo Jialan was her real name.
This wasn’t surprising.
After all, Luo Jialan didn’t have the chance to see Aiko Yamaguchi’s registration information, so she didn’t know that Aiko Yamaguchi had used a fake name to sign up.
“Is there any way to find out where Aiko Yamaguchi is from those typical European and American names?”
“Sir, you can do that, but there are over 10,000 people who have signed up for these classes in the past two years. It will take quite some time to check them out one by one.”
Huo Shaoheng had only asked nonchalantly since it seemed like this trail was cold.
Aiko Yamaguchi was indeed a very cautious person.
The reason she revealed her true identity to Luo Jialan was probably the five million euros.
“Alright, let’s call it a day. There’s no need to continue investigating,” Huo Shaoheng ordered.
After hanging up, Huo Shaoheng went upstairs to take a shower. When he came back down, he had breakfast with Gu Nianzhi downstairs.
After breakfast, Huo Shaoheng personally drove Gu Nianzhi to the Insitute of High Energy Physics to look for Song Jinning.
In the car, Huo Shaoheng handed the data signed by Gu Xiangwen to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi thought it was some top-secret document and carefully flipped to the last page. When she saw the signature, she was stunned.
“This, this, this… This is data from my father?!”
