Hello, Mr. Major General
chapter-1562

Chapter 1562: Her Majesty, Queen Gu, Speaks Her Mind

Qin Zhiyuan was stunned by He Zhichu’s words. He quickly asked anxiously, “Then what do you mean? Are you going to shoot my brother? ! But he really doesn’t deserve to die? !”

He Zhichu raised his hand and pressed it on Qin Zhiyuan’s shoulder. His sparkling almond-shaped eyes were dark as he said coldly, “Whether he lives or dies, Qin Yaoguang doesn’t have the final say. I don’t have the final say either.”

“Then who? ! Who has the final say? ! Your father? ! But I begged your father, and he said…”

Before Qin Zhiyuan could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by He Zhichu. “Of course the victim has the final say.”

Qin Zhiyuan’s heart turned cold. He looked at He Zhichu with grief and indignation. “Zhichu, I hadn’t offended you all these years, had I? Yet you’re playing me like this? ! You know Gu Nianzhi was already dead, yet you still want her to have the final say? ! If you want him to die, just say it!”

He Zhichu’s tone was cold, and his almond-shaped eyes seemed to be brewing snow. “Who said she’s dead? Who told you she’s dead?”

Qin Zhiyuan: “…”

His heart, which had just sunk to the bottom of the valley, suddenly started beating violently.

“You mean she’s not dead? ! She’s really not dead? ! That’s great!” Qin Zhiyuan wiped the sweat off his forehead, but he was still so happy that he started to cry.

No matter what, since the “victim” didn’t die, then his younger brother’s life was saved.

“He Zhichu! How dare you play your oldest cousin like this!” Laughing with tears in his eyes, Qin Zhiyuan punched He Zhichu’s shoulder. “Do you know that I was almost worried to death?!”

He Zhichu sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said coldly, “Who told you to come here and stir up trouble? No one told you that Zhining would be shot, so why are you jumping around and being used as a gun?”

Qin Zhiyuan finally understood. From the beginning to the end, someone had been playing tricks on him.

“… My brother wouldn’t be shot at all, right?” Qin Zhiyuan rubbed his head and sat down opposite He Zhichu.

The curtains in the room weren’t opened, and the light from the well-shaped ceiling lamp on the ceiling shone white, pouring down from He Zhichu’s head, covering his face in the shadows.

He Zhichu held his coffee cup with two fingers and said lightly, “I told you, whether he will be shot or not depends on whether the victim forgives him, so don’t get involved.”

“But he’s my younger brother. Tell me where Gu Nianzhi is, and I’ll personally beg her. I’ll agree to whatever conditions she asks for!” Qin Zhiyuan quickly expressed his conditions.

“What if she wants your brother to die?” He Zhichu scoffed. “Don’t be so full of yourself.”

Qin Zhiyuan felt choked, and he smiled wryly. “Zhichu, you don’t understand my feelings. When I found out that my brother might be shot, I really felt like the sky was falling. My parents died early, and my brother and I lived together. We lived in an orphanage for several years before your mother, my aunt, found us and brought us up in the imperial capital. If I can’t save him, how could I have the face to meet my parents in the afterlife?”

He Zhichu was silent for a moment before he said, “I understand how you feel. When I saw Nianzhi get shot in the back and stop breathing in my arms, I felt exactly like you. The sky was falling, and I didn’t want to live anymore.”

Qin Zhiyuan closed his eyes. “I understand now. Zhichu, Nianzhi was your fiancée, and you’ve always liked her. Zhining has gone too far this time. I’ll discipline him well, and might persuade him to leave the army.”

He Zhichu sipped his coffee and looked up after a while. “I told you not to get involved in this anymore. I still have use for Qin Zhining. If someone wants to use him to stir up trouble, it’s not safe to let him out.”

Qin Zhiyuan’s heart was still in the air. He really wanted to see Gu Nianzhi.

However, He Zhichu said, “Nianzhi has just recovered from her serious injuries, so she can’t be too tired. Don’t worry, unless she agrees, Zhining won’t be shot.”

Qin Zhiyuan quickly said, “I just want to see her. After all, it’s my brother’s fault. As his older brother, it’s okay for me to apologize on his behalf and make compensation for him, right?”

“Okay, you wait first. We’ll talk again when we have the chance.” He Zhichu was perfunctory, and he wasn’t in a good mood. However, he reminded Qin Zhiyuan, “Don’t pay attention to Qin Yaoguang. Don’t spread the news that Nianzhi is still alive. After all, someone is counting on receiving the ‘body ‘for the funeral…”

Qin Zhiyuan saw that He Zhichu was fighting with his stepmother. He rubbed his nose and said, “I see. Looks like I was really used as a gun.”

..

After Qin Zhiyuan left, He Zhichu called He Chengjian and said righteously, “General He, please transfer Qin Zhining’s case to me. No one else is allowed to interfere.”

He Chengjian saw that He Zhichu was finally willing to call him. He was delighted and agreed immediately. “Okay, okay, okay. Whatever you say. I won’t care about Qin Zhining anymore. It’s up to you.”

He Zhichu snorted and said, “And when are you going to officially divorce Qin Yaoguang?”

He Chengjian immediately said, “Right away! I’ll have the Civil Affairs Bureau handle the paperwork personally!”

He Zhichu still wasn’t gratified even after Qin Yaoguang had finally been kicked out of the He family. He still had some anger left in him as he said, “That woman is crazy! Why didn’t I know she was that crazy before? !”

She could no longer suppress her evil intentions towards Gu Nianzhi. The thought of it made He Zhichu’s stomach churn.

He Chengjian also knew that Qin Yaoguang’s condition was for Gu Nianzhi’s “body”.

He sighed. “Your mother was right back then. The development of technology without laws, morals, and ethics isn’t the progress of mankind, but a disaster.”

“Back then, I thought Gu Xiangwen was the only crazy person. Now, it seems that these people who only think about science are all crazy. Look at Qin Yaoguang, what has she become?”

“When I first met her, she was still a smart and knowledgeable scientist. Now, she has become a monster with no humanity at all.”

He Zhichu’s eyes sparkled and he changed the subject without batting an eye. “Father, Nianzhi survived this time. Please stop meddling in our business. If you continue meddling, I’m afraid I’ll do something that will make you sad for the rest of your life.”

He Chengjian was afraid of He Zhichu’s threat.

This son of his had risked his life to go to the other world to find Gu Nianzhi. Now, if Gu Nianzhi lost her life on their side, he didn’t know what his son would do.

This time, Gu Nianzhi had unexpectedly chosen to commit suicide. He Chengjian was also deeply shaken.

Looking at the video of her bodly embracing her death, he couldn’t say a word.

“Children are all debtors…” He Chengjian shook his head. “Don’t worry, I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore, but you have to hurry up…”

After all, he was a father, so he couldn’t avoid nagging.

He Zhichu nodded perfunctorily. “I know what I’m doing. If you don’t meddle, you’ll be doing me a huge favor.”

He Chengjian solemnly promised to give him and Gu Nianzhi the freedom to decide their relationship.

He then asked in a fawning manner, “Zhichu, today is Christmas Eve. Our He family’s Christmas party is tonight. Will you be back?”

He Zhichu replied with an “mhm.” “You’re divorced, so of course I’ll be back.”

He Chengjian was overjoyed. “Then I’ll get someone to decorate the ballroom. By the way, do you want an invitation? I’ll get someone to send it to you? You can invite your own friends, colleagues, and subordinates.”

The He family’s Christmas party was considered an annual event in the Huaxia Empire. It received more attention than their national television station’s Spring Festival Gala.

Although the ball wasn’t broadcasted live, the people who came in to attend the ball would walk the red carpet at the entrance.

The major media outlets usually couldn’t get invitations. They could only take photos of the people who attended the ball at the entrance of the He family’s house and post them on the internet to show off.

Other than the cabinet, senate, military bigwigs and their families, there were also a small number of invitations for outstanding people in the business, entertainment, sports, and academic circles.

The number of people in this group was very small. There were less than fifty people each year, so the competition in this area was very fierce. It was much more difficult than getting an invitation to the Academy Awards Party.

He Zhichu hadn’t been here for the past few years. He hadn’t appeared at the Christmas party. Secretary Lin had even used this opportunity to chat with him the last time.

He Zhichu called He Chengjian. One of his goals was to get an invitation to the Christmas party.

He nodded. “I need some invitations. How many can you give me?”

“Ah-Chu, don’t talk to your old father like that.” He Chengjian was heartbroken. “This is your home. Tonight’s Christmas party is in your home. You’ll be hosting it. You can have as many invitations as you want.”

He Zhichu’s voice softened. “Okay, give me ten. There are some friends I want to invite.”

“No problem! I’ll get someone to send you twenty! If it’s not enough, I’ll make it up to you!” He Chengjian quickly called his personal secretary, who was in charge of the Christmas party, and instructed them to fulfill He Zhichu’s request.

He Chengjian’s personal secretary obviously knew the importance of He Zhichu. Moreover, He Zhichu was definitely going to take over He Chengjian’s position in the future. He would be their future leader. Even if he didn’t curry favor with He Zhichu now, he would definitely not make things difficult for He Zhichu now, and risk making him angry.

Only a fool would deliberately make things difficult for his future leader.

After getting the invitation, He Zhichu called Gu Nianzhi.

“Young Master He? What’s the matter?” Gu Nianzhi put on her bluetooth headset and continued to play the game as she answered the phone.

He Zhichu’s voice was very gentle. “Nianzhi, Qin Zhining’s brother, Qin Zhiyuan, came to see me today. He said that Qin Yaoguang had offered him a deal. As long as he give her your ‘body’, she won’t ask to shoot Qin Zhining.”

Gu Nianzhi was so angry that she pressed the wrong button. The character in the game had accidentally “landed in a box”.

“Who does this Qin Yaoguang think she is? How can she be so shameless! Is she trying to piss me off so that she can inherit all my inheritance?” Gu Nianzhi was in no mood to eat chicken. She exited the game and said angrily, “She even wants my ‘body’? ! Is she that eager for me to die? No, I can’t take it anymore. Even if she’s my biological mother, she’s too overbearing!”

He Zhichu knew that she would be angry, so he quickly tried to calm her down. “Calm down. Besides, do you think I’ll let you suffer? I’m just reminding you.”

“That’s a good reminder.” Gu Nianzhi laid on the sofa and crossed her long legs, then said lazily, “I just remembered that I haven’t made a will yet. I’ll get a lawyer to do it right away. If I really die from anger, I can’t let my inheritance fall into her hands.”

The Huaxia Empire’s inheritance law stated that Gu Nianzhi was unmarried and childless, so her first heirs were her father and mother.

Her father was legally dead, so the only legal heir was her biological mother, Qin Yaoguang.

Gu Nianzhi was so angry that she wanted to hit someone when she thought that if she really died this time, all of her belongings, including her “body,” might belong to Qin Yaoguang.

“I’ve made a mistake…” Gu Nianzhi mumbled, “I want to make a very detailed will right away. The first rule is that Qin Yaoguang cannot have a single cent of my property!”

He Zhichu saw that she was still so energetic, and felt as if he could see her lively expression blooming in front of him, so his mood suddenly improved. He laughed and said, “Okay, I’m qualified to be a lawyer. Do you want me to come over and make a will for you?”

Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. “I’ll go to your place, okay? Didn’t you say that you were at the nearby base?”

Gu Nianzhi had checked the map of that place. It was where Huo Shaoheng’s special operations forces base in C City was located in the parallel world.

She had lived there for six years…

“Sure, I’ll come pick you up.” He Zhichu was now completely obedient to her. He had even restrained his young master’s temper, which he used to lose easily.

Gu Nianzhi put down the phone and said to Lu Jin, “Dad, I want to go to Young Master He’s base to make a will.”

Lu Jin’s heart clenched. “What will? ! You’re just a kid, don’t talk nonsense!”

“It’s just a legal document.” Gu Nianzhi pressed Lu Jin’s shoulder to let him sit down on the sofa, “Don’t worry about it. Even though I don’t have as much money as you do here, I’ve made a small fortune. Most importantly, I want to determine the ownership of my ‘body’. I can’t let that b*tch trample over my ‘body’ in the name of my birth mother!”

Lu Jin turned his head in shock. “What body? What are you talking about?”

Gu Nianzhi didn’t hide anything from Lu Jin. “Young Master He just told me that Qin Yaoguang brought me here to negotiate with someone else. I can’t take it anymore.”

Lu Jin was anxious. “You want to go up against Qin Yaoguang? ! She’s capable of anything. Don’t do anything rash!”

“I’ll take the long view,” Gu Nianzhi assured Lu Jin. “Dad, don’t worry. I won’t be rash. She’s not qualified to play legal games with me.”

Lu Jin’s expression changed. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, “Do you want me to step up? Maybe she’ll turn her attention to me.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly shook her head. “Of course not. You’ve finally gotten rid of that b*tch. How can I let you go out and be disgusted by her again? It’s okay, I really have a way.”

She wasn’t sure, but she couldn’t let Lu Jin worry.

Her confident appearance had indeed convinced Lu Jin.

After all, in Lu Jin’s heart, they were both extremely intelligent people. Gu Nianzhi said she had a way, so she definitely had a way.

And even if Gu Nianzhi failed, it didn’t matter. He would take care of it.

If Qin Yaoguang didn’t even let Gu Nianzhi go, Lu Jin would drag her down with him before he went to hell.

The two of them chatted for a while before the doorbell rang.

He Zhichu stood at the door and personally came to welcome her to his base.

Gu Nianzhi opened the door alone and smiled. “Young Master He, you’re really fast.”

“Not far, just by the side.” He Zhichu looked her up and down. It had been more than a month since they last met, and the thoughts in his heart had converged into a river. However, they could only flow quietly under the ice and snow, and would never see the light of day again.

“You’ve recovered well.” He Zhichu suppressed the emotions in his heart and smiled gently. “It’s just that the color of your lips is still a little pale.”

Gu Nianzhi’s lips were very full. Now that they had lost some of their color, the whiteness was obvious.

Gu Nianzhi looked up and smiled. “There’s nothing I can do about it. I was injured too badly this time. I’m already very satisfied that I was able to recover like this after a narrow escape. I’ve never given myself any pressure.”

“That’s good.” He Zhichu nodded and led her to the military base next to him.

He Zhichu’s bulletproof car was surrounded by armed soldiers. Military vehicles lined the front and back of the road to the military base, which was only 200 meters away.

The cars in front had already entered the military base, while the cars behind were still at the entrance of Gu Nianzhi’s residential area.

Gu Nianzhi turned to look at the car captain and laughed in horror. “Young Master He, isn’t this too much? Do you have to put on such a big show?”

He Zhichu said nonchalantly, “That’s a big show? Didn’t you see the residential buildings around us? My snipers are all over the place. If anyone dares to move, I’ll blow their heads off.”

Gu Nianzhi lowered her head like Lu Jin. “… Boss, you’re amazing.”

He Zhichu rubbed her head. “Stop fooling around. Isn’t this all for you? Don’t you know that she’s waiting for your ‘body’? If I don’t protect you properly, how can I live up to that earth-shattering ‘motherly love’?”

Gu Nianzhi wrinkled her delicate nose and said with a hostile expression, “I’ve had enough. After I make my will today, I’ll teach her a lesson!”

He Zhichu immediately said, “No problem, she just divorced my father.”

Gu Nianzhi: “…”

What did these two things have to do with each other?

Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu with a half-hearted smile on her face. “Young Master He, even if she was still Mrs. He, do you believe me if I say I would still do so?”

“I believe you, I believe you, of course I believe you.” He Zhichu raised his hands and said with a smile, “Her Majesty, Queen Gu, speaks her mind.”

“Young Master He, why are you suddenly so humorous?”Gu nianzhi rubbed her nose and looked at him sideways. “You’ve changed a lot.”

He Zhichu looked at her and thought, I can’t change my mind, but what’s so hard about changing my behavior?

The two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at He Zhichu’s official residence.

Gu Nianzhi looked around. Although it was the same place, the buildings inside were completely different. Only the hill not far away looked similar.

She couldn’t find the same feeling she felt in the other dimension, so she became depressed. She followed He Zhichu into his official residence and began to draft her will without any distractions.

They were both big lawyers, and there was a template for such a will. The two of them finished it in less than half an hour.

After signing her name and making three copies, it would take effect.

Gu Nianzhi kissed the will that she had just made with satisfaction and said sarcastically, “Mom doesn’t have to worry about my ‘body’ anymore!”

He Zhichu: “…”

He took out a stack of invitations for the Christmas party tonight and said, “Nianzhi, today is Christmas Eve. Our He family has a Grand Christmas party every year. Would you like to go to the Christmas party with me today?”

Gu Nianzhi reflexively rejected him,”… Young Master He, that’s not very good, is it?”

“The Qin family’s private hospital group has two invitations. I don’t know if Qin Yaoguang will go tonight,” He Zhichu said casually, “But I want you to host the dance with me at this party and then announce that you’re my sister.”

This was a public renunciation of the engagement between the two of them.
