Hello, Mr. Major General Chapter 1666 - No Wonder Everyone Dotes on You

Chapter 1666: No Wonder Everyone Dotes on You

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment before saying, “Okay, you can go now. Make sure to be careful.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded and said, “You should tell Uncle Lu about Nianzhi’s situation. Although he might not have thought of this, as long as you give him some advice, he will know what to do.”
Lu Yuan understood what Huo Shaoheng meant, but his considerations were different.
“… it’s useless to tell Lu Jin. It’ll make him worry for nothing. Plus, he can be very impulsive sometimes, especially when it comes to his most beloved daughter. I’m afraid he won’t think the same as you do.”
Huo Shaoheng thought about it seriously and felt that Lu Yuan’s words made great sense.
Just like how Lu Yuan didn’t understand He Chengjian as deeply as Huo Shaoheng did, Huo Shaoheng didn’t know Lu Jin as thoroughly as Lu Yuan did.
“Alright, then you can take your time to decide. I’ll be on my way to meet the He Family.” Huo Shaoheng had already thought of an excuse the moment he finished his sentence.
He changed into a Soviet military coat, still donning the sable fur suede Soviet military cap, and was dressed in a noble and dignified manner as he wore a cold and stern expression. He had specifically asked the embassy’s driver to treat him as the deputy consul general of the Soviet Union stationed in China who was officially paying the He residence a visit.
He was going to the He residence this time under the pretext of discussing the explosion at the revolving restaurant two days ago. He was one of the parties present, and his identity was rather special, so He Chengjian would definitely agree to meet him.
..
Gu Nianzhi sat in the bulletproof car that He Chengjian had sent and headed to the He residence.
She was a little uneasy about He Zhichu’s condition, and did not know whether her own decision was right or wrong.
If He Zhichu was really unconscious, He Chengjian should have sent him to the hospital instead of rushing to fetch her.
But if He Zhichu had not been unconscious, no matter what He Chengjian did to her, he would have opposed it to the end.
Gu Nianzhi was apprehensive even till the moment she entered the living room of the He family’s mansion. She did not know what He Chengjian was up to.
He Chengjian walked down the stairs in a smoky gray cashmere cardigan. His custom-made trousers were straight and ironed, and he wouldn’t look old at all if his sideburns weren’t a little graying.
He always had a slight smile on his face, which made him look more approachable than the cold He Zhichu.
However, Gu Nianzhi knew that this man was really hot on the outside but cold on the inside. Other than his military troops, he probably only had eyes for his wife and son.
This time, He Chengjian offered to let her represent him. Gu Nianzhi was a little “flattered”.
“General He.”Gu Nianzhi politely nodded at him. “May I ask where young master He is? I’d like to see him.”
He Chengjian stopped in his tracks and calmly said, “He just came back from a full body check-up at the Military General Hospital. Do you want to go up and see him?”
“A full body check-up? Did you find out what’s wrong? Is young master He awake?” Gu Nianzhi followed He Chengjian up the winding staircase.
“I didn’t find anything wrong.”He Chengjian frowned slightly. “But he just won’t come round. I’m worried.”
“It’s fine as long as everything’s alright.” Gu Nianzhi said as she walked up the winding staircase. “Does he have a doctor to take care of him?”
“There’s a doctor who comes to check on him every day without fail. His orderly is the one who attends to him for the rest of the time.”
As they spoke, the two of them had reached He Zhichu’s bedroom. He Chengjian pushed open the door to He Zhichu’s bedroom. “Go in and see him. I don’t know what happened either, but he suddenly fainted.”
Gu Nianzhi walked into He Zhichu’s bedroom. It was a familiar place. She quickly headed for He Zhichu’s bed and saw that it had been converted into a multi-purpose hospital bed.
He Zhichu’s face was covered with an oxygen mask from the ventilator as he lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
His skin was originally pale, but now it was as white as snow.
His thin lips were pursed lightly, and the faint redness on his lips was almost invisible.
It was the first time Gu Nianzhi realized that He Zhichu’s eyelashes were so dark and fine. They covered his fair eyes and face like two soul-stirring arcs.
He was too quiet, so quiet that it was as if he wasn’t even alive.
Gu Nianzhi’s heart sank seeing him motionless. A dull pain rose in her heart. She was choked up and the rim of her eyes felt bitter.
She couldn’t help walking over and calling out softly, “Young master He? Young master He? Can you hear me?”
He Zhichu didn’t move. The pace of his shallow breathing in the oxygen mask didn’t even change.
“How did this happen?” Gu Nianzhi had not worried much until she saw He Zhichu’s state right now. She had even wondered if it was He Zhichu guarding by the operating room for an entire day and night that caused him to faint out of fatigue.
But seeing the way he was now, she realized that she had been too optimistic.
“… ever since I went to the Qin group’s private hospital to pick him up, he had been like this.” He Chengjian walked over and bent down to tuck He Zhichu under the blanket. “… He really looks a little like how he was in the past when his illness acted up.”
When He Zhichu fell sick more than ten years ago, Gu Nianzhi was still young and had never actually seen him with her own eyes.
Of course, even if she did see him, she would have completely forgotten about it now since she had lost her memory when she was twelve years old.
“But young master He told me that he had already recovered.” Gu Nianzhi said subconsciously as she ran her hands through her hair, “I’ve checked the details. Diseases that are cured at the genetic level will not relapse. If there is a relapse, then it’s either not cured at all, or he has another disease.”
He Chengjian nodded. “The doctor said the same thing. He also said that if his vital signs are normal, then we should leave him alone for now. If he wants to sleep, then let him sleep.”
Gu Nianzhi heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m also hoping that he just fell asleep. But I still don’t understand. Young master He stayed in that ward for a day and a night right? Why did he turn out like this?”
It didn’t seem like he was overworked.
“What on earth did he do in there?”
“Nothing.” He Chengjian said coldly. “I looked at the surveillance cameras in that ward. They were actually very normal that night.”
He Zhichu had been sitting on the sofa in the corner the whole time. Qin Yaoguang was wearing a light green surgical gown worn by surgeons as she sat in front of Grandfather Qin’s bed. Grandfather Qin was sleeping comfortably under the oxygen mask.
“Do you have the surveillance cameras in that ward? Can you show them to me?” Gu Nianzhi asked curiously. “Also, you said that you wanted me to be your lawyer. Did you mean it?”
“Of course.” He Chengjian gazed at her. For the first time, he realized that Gu Nianzhi’s expression when she spoke was actually quite similar to Qin Suwen’s.
Although their appearances were completely different, their every frown, smile, and every movement reminded people of Qin Suwen.
This was a type of similarity between their temperaments and personalities. It was something that was even more profound than their physical similarities.
Because of their resemblance, He Chengjian’s heart softened.
He said gently, “Of course it’s true. I captured Qin Yaoguang and Qin Baye…”
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, “You didn’t capture them. You asked them to come back and ‘help’ treat young master He’s illness.”
He Chengjian heaved a sigh of relief and couldn’t help rubbing Gu Nianzhi’s head. “No wonder everyone dotes on you.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and thought to herself, “I could never expect you to dote on me. As long as you don’t point your sniper gun at me again, I’ll be thankful…”
She deliberately avoided the topic and said, “Because of Qin Yaoguang and old Mr Qin, Wen Shouyi said she was going to send you a lawyer’s letter, right?”
“She didn’t say she wanted to send me a lawyer’s letter.” He Chengjian shook his head. “But she did say she wanted to fight a lawsuit against us.”
Sending a lawyer’s letter and fighting a lawsuit were two different things.
From sending a lawyer’s letter to finally going to court to fight a lawsuit, there were still many procedures in between.
“Okay, let’s fight the lawsuit then.” Gu Nianzhi did not think much of it and looked at He Chengjian inquisitively, “General He, can you show me the surveillance footage of that ward as well?”
He Chengjian nodded, “Sure, it’s in my study.”
Gu Nianzhi knew that He Chengjian’s study had always been off-limits to outsiders.
She used to be allowed in, but now she no longer had that right.
But He Chengjian did not seem to care. He stood up and said, “Come with me.”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes flashed, but she did not follow him. Instead, she said, “Why don’t you bring it to this room, and I’ll watch it on my laptop? I want to stay here with young master He for a while.”
“That works too.” He Chengjian had seen Gu Nianzhi offer to take care of He Zhichu and so he had a better impression of her. “Then I’ll go get the surveillance video. I’ll save it on flash drive and send it to you.” He said with a gentler voice.
He had just walked out of He Zhichu’s bedroom when he saw his orderly trot over. He said, “Deputy Chief, Mr. Peter, the Deputy Consul General of the Soviet Union in China, wants to see you. He says he has something important to discuss with General He.”
