Chapter 1050: Atone for One’s Crime with Good Deeds

Gu Nianzhi had been pressed down by Huo Shaoheng all night to “lose weight,” so she really thought she had slimmed down when she nearly passed out in slumber. Because the two of them had engaged in intense physical activity last night, they had only slept for a little while by the time the sun was nearly up.

However, Huo Shaoheng still woke up at 7am. As soon his eyes opened, he instantly saw Gu Nianzhi sleeping soundly in the crook of his arm. Her fair, luminous face was as translucent as a freshly peeled lychee after their intimate night together. She appeared fresh and tender, so when he lightly brushed his lips against hers, he could almost suck out the sweet juice within.

Huo Shaoheng couldn’t hold himself back as soon as he kissed her. His throbbing body was getting riled up, and it awakened the extremely out of control memories from last night. In her drowsiness, Gu Nianzhi began another round of “losing weight.”

When it was over an hour later, Gu Nianzhi planned to never lose weight again for the rest of her life! Losing weight was making her lose her life!

“Awake?” Huo Shaoheng spied Gu Nianzhi’s eyelashes continuously trembling, but she refused to open her eyes.

“Can I stay asleep?” Gu Nianzhi grumbled. He had almost shaken apart the bed.

Huo Shaoheng chuckled quietly against her ear, and as an audiophile, Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but blush sheepishly. Closing her eyes, she reached out to push Huo Shaoheng’s face away and said with impatience, “Go elsewhere if you want to laugh. Don’t laugh into my ear.”

“Ok,” Huo Shaoheng replied smoothly and didn’t laugh again. However, he laid next to Gu Nianzhi and began to gently blow into her ear.

Gu Nianzhi could feel the lower half of her body begin to throb. Wrapped in blankets, she quickly rolled far away and grumbled, “I’ll attack you back if you keep this up!”

“Come on, let’s hurt each other.” Huo Shaoheng reached out his long arm to drag her back. “I’ll wait here for you to abuse me.”

Gu Nianzhi was speechless. She slowly opened her eyes, and they sparkled as she watched Huo Shaoheng. “Really?!” Her mind was instantly filled with 108 ways to “eat up” Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng felt unlimited satisfaction when he looked into her eyes. He had just laid down and wanted to hold Gu Nianzhi on top of his body, when her phone rang inconveniently at that moment. She quickly moved over and grabbed it to take a glance. Aside from the missed calls, there were several text messages as well. Special Assistant Zhuang and He Zhichu had sent her texts. The phone call was from He Zhichu as well. He probably couldn’t help calling her when he saw she wasn’t replying to his texts.

Gu Nianzhi quickly slid the phone to unlock and take the call. “Professor He?”

He Zhichu sat in front of his desk as he read the news online. He replied coolly, “Nianzhi, are you at work?”

Gu Nianzhi wanted to scream as soon as she saw the time. It was already 8:10am! She quickly pushed Huo Shaoheng away and frantically got out of bed. She headed towards the bathroom as she replied with embarrassment, “No, I haven’t left the house yet…”

He Zhichu rubbed his forehead and said exasperatedly, “Don’t fret, I’m just giving you a heads up. The United States and Germany have officially requested the extradition of the ‘Pink Piggy.’ You need to be mentally prepared.”

Gu Nianzhi instantly froze. “Extradite the ‘Pink Piggy?’ When did that happen?!” She had merely slept for a night. How had she turned into a wanted criminal?! Weren’t the American courts suing the 27 soldiers? Could they also be suing the “Pink Piggy” at the same time? Gu Nianzhi’s hand tightened her squeeze on the phone.

He Zhichu laughed. “Sounds like you really just woke up, so you haven’t looked at the news on Weibo? Go have a look. I’m hanging up now.”

After He Zhichu ended the call, Gu Nianzhi quickly opened Weibo. Suddenly, all sorts of news about arrogant countries demanding the “Pink Piggy” was on the top searches. It made her feel like she was suffocating. When did “your nation is done for,” become mainstream? Was the silence of the majority considered agreement? Gu Nianzhi almost wanted to log into her secondary account and wage war against these public influencers.

Huo Shaoheng’s knocking on the door stopped her in time. “Nianzhi? What is it?” Huo Shaoheng knocked on the bathroom door. “Can I come in?”

Gu Nianzhi casually opened the door and passed the phone to Huo Shaoheng. “You take a look.”

Huo Shaoheng accepted the phone and quickly glanced at all the news on it. He smiled wryly with a shake of his head. “Are these people’s words worth getting angry over? Is this the first time you realized the power of the ‘your nation is done for’ clan?”

“Who asked them to anger me?” Gu Nianzhi puffed up her face. “I am the ‘Pink Piggy,’ and they want to hand me over and sell out the nation for personal glory. How could I not be angry?”

“How could I allow others to hand you over?” Huo Shaoheng patted her head. “Unless they walk over my dead body.”

“Really?” Gu Nianzhi looked up with surprise. “It makes me so happy to hear that.” She grabbed Huo Shaoheng’s arm and shook it as she replied firmly, “But I won’t let other people have the opportunity to walk over your dead body. I won’t give anyone the chance to kill you.”

Huo Shaoheng’s heart warmed as he hugged her with a smile. “I know. Me, too.”

The two of them didn’t have a chance to snuggle for very long before they were forced to separate. Gu Nianzhi had to hurry back to the Senate since Special Assistant Zhuang had sent several texts to her that said Speaker Long needed to see her. Gu Nianzhi glanced at her watch and hoped that she could arrive at the Senate building by 8:30am.

Huo Shaoheng stopped bugging her and went to the main bathroom to wash up. When he came out in a clean change of clothes, Gu Nianzhi had already left. In the past, when Huo Shaoheng came to Gu Nianzhi’s suite, they worked separately so they never appeared as a couple while in the precinct.

Huo Shaoheng took his car keys down to the underground parking garage and drove back to the headquarters base.

…

Gu Nianzhi arrived at the door to Speaker Long’s office one minute past 8:30am. Special Assistant Zhuang had already been waiting there and quickly pushed open the door to Speaker Long’s office. “Nianzhi, hurry up and go inside. Speaker Long has been waiting for you.”

“Thank you, Special Assistant Zhuang.” Gu Nianzhi walked inside and sat down before Speaker Long’s desk. “Speaker Long, what can I do for you?”

Speaker Long threw the morning’s news summary before Gu Nianzhi, then said, “The German chancellor is bringing the director of her Federal Intelligence Service to visit the Huaxia Empire. I must go welcome her at the airport, and you’ll be coming with me.”

Gu Nianzhi was so shocked, she widened her already huge eyes. “She’s coming so soon? But why are you the one welcoming her?”

Speaker Long smiled wryly. “Because the Cabinet has already been dissolved, so it’s currently an interim Cabinet. The personnel from the Department of Foreign Affairs will be greeting her at the airport, but we still need a government leader there. Tan Dongbang can certainly never represent our nation again, and General Ji is from the military, so he is unable to appear. That only leaves an old man like myself.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly smiled. “You are wise and strong. You don’t look old at all.”

“Little flatterer!” Speaker Long chided her playfully. “Go back and prepare. The flight from Germany will arrive at 5pm, so you’ll be coming with me to the airport to greet them.”

Gu Nianzhi felt very conflicted as soon as she considered Reinitz would also be one of the people visiting this time around. She had only learned that Reinitz was the director of the Federal Intelligence Service after she came back from Germany. Als, who had tortured and electrocuted her, turned out to be merely Reinitz’s subordinate.

“Speaker Long, can I not go?” Gu Nianzhi stuttered reluctantly, her eyes shifting down.

“Not go?” Speaker Long raised a brow as he turned on the computer to check the welcoming ceremony at the airport that afternoon. “Why don’t you want to go?”

“I’m… I’m shy with strangers.” Gu Nianzhi confidently found a reason. “I’m not used to meeting strangers.”

“I see.” Speaker Long could detect that she was putting him off, so he waved his hand dismissively. “If you’re not used to meeting strangers, you just need to meet them more. Ok, we’re done here. Go home and get ready.”

Gu Nianzhi had no choice, so she had to go back to her office to get ready before going back home. She really had to pick a good outfit since they were going to the airport to greet important guests from abroad.

…

Hong Kangquan was being detained by Speaker Long’s personnel in a gray building. When he had gotten up that morning, he had read the newspaper for a while. He savored all the various headlines from the major newspapers.

Afterwards, he read the indictment from the American courts and also read the Chinese translation. Not only that, but he read all the major American headlines being reposted by all the major media outlets.

The “Pink Piggy?” Hong Kongquan’s eyes narrowed quickly, then he read the summary of the English indictment once again. Suddenly, he discovered something wasn’t right. If he read it using a special sequence of words, this indictment was actually a message being transmitted to him!

This was a method the person with the invalid number had once taught him. Could this indictment’s true purpose be an attempt to send him a message? Hong Kangquan’s expression quickly shifted as he finally looked up and said to the person detaining him, “I have important information to report to my superior. I want to atone for my crime with good deeds.”
