Chapter 1235 - Infinite Glory

He doesn’t want her to be intelligent?What was that supposed to mean?

Gu Nianzhi didn’t think much of it, but her mood improved.

She wrapped her arms around Huo Shaoheng’s neck and said with a smile, “Does that mean you’ll love me regardless of whether I’m intelligent or stupid?”

Huo Shaoheng pretended to think about it for a moment, and said, ” ... of course you can’t be too stupid or too intelligent. Just be like a normal person.”

Hmph! Who would believe you!” Gu Nianzhi pushed him away and continued to review her data.

The two of them worked hard all night and finally finished recovering all the data and mapping. They sent it back to the Special Operations Forces’ cloud account.

Because they had used their own country’s Nandou satellite communication and navigation system to access the Internet and communicate, they didn’t have to worry about their secrets being leaked when they were on the internet or on the phone. Indeed, the security measures improved greatly.

Huo Shaoheng adjusted the position of his long legs and asked Gu Nianzhi, “Are you tired? Why don’t you rest in the hotel today?”

Today was the opening day of the International Special Forces Competition.

Huo Shaoheng had come to Moscow mainly for this reason.

After showing his face at the opening ceremony, he could retire with success.

Gu Nianzhi wasn’t sleepy. Although she had been busy all night, she was still in high spirits from Huo Shaoheng’s proposal the day before.

She shook her head reluctantly. “But I want to see your glorious moment in front of the huge crowd. ”

As the saying went, “You feel the glory of being in the center of thousands of people. ”

Huo Shaoheng had never cared about these superficial courtesies, but when he thought of Gu Nianzhi gazing at him from below the stage, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and pleasure.

“But you didn’t sleep for the entire night... ” Huo Shaoheng was worried that her body couldn’t take it.

Gu Nianzhi stood up and walked around the room. “I’m fine. Look at me. Do I look sleepy?”

Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes as he studied her.

It had been a busy night, but her little face appeared rosy pink, like a boiled egg that had just been peeled.

Her large eyes sparkled, and she didn’t look tired at all.

The corners of her lips appeared red and moist, and the rosy tint on her cheeks made her appear like she was glowing from the inside out.

How could she look like someone who had had stayed up all night?

Huo Shaoheng was puzzled. It was normal for him to stay up all night, but Gu Nianzhi had grown up with him, so staying up all night had become the norm for her.

Whenever it was bedtime, as long as he was at home, he would urge her to go to bed. Her daily schedule was as orderly as that of the military camp.

“Are you really not tired? ” Huo Shaoheng frowned. “You didn’t drink any caffeinated beverages, did you?”

“You’re overthinking it. ” Gu Nianzhi’s lips twitched.

Can’t he take her for her word?

Or can’t he just take it for granted that she’s in a good mood so she was feeling especially energetic and in cheerful?

Gu Nianzhi grimaced. Just as she was about to continue trying to persuade Huo Shaoheng, her phone started ringing on the coffee table.

Gu Nianzhi walked over to it and unlocked it. It was that same special Russian phone number that belonged t the man who had personally called to thank her for saving little Dimi and had offered to give her a big present.

“Hello ”

“Hello, our president would like to invite you to attend today’s opening ceremony of the International Special Forces Competition. Are you free to attend?” The person on the other end asked politely.

The person who had spoken was not the man from last time, but probably his subordinate.

Gu Nianzhi froze for a moment, then said quickly, “I have time! I have time!”

Sigh!

The Russian President had personally invited her to attend the opening ceremony of the International Special Forces Competition. How could she say no?!

How could Huo Shaoheng refuse?

Gu Nianzhi smiled proudly and handed the phone to Huo Shaoheng. “Look, he personally called to invite me to attend the opening ceremony of the International Special Forces Competition.”

Huo Shaoheng: ” ... ”

..

The two of them packed up and left the hotel. They planned to go to the Huaxia Empire’s special forces military camp first.

Huo Shaoheng was considered the highest-ranking official among the leaders of the team this time. Although he wasn’t in charge, he was officially the highest-ranking leader.

He had to enter with his own country’s special forces.

However, as soon as they exited the hotel, they saw the familiar jeep.

The second-in-command of the KGB, Vladimir, was leaning against the door of the jeep with his arms crossed. He was smoking a cigarwith his other hand.

When he saw Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi come out, he quickly threw the cigar into the trash can and walked over with a smile on his face. “Cereus, I’ve been ordered to pick you up for the opening ceremony of the International Special Forces Competition.”

Gu Nianzhi was surprised. “... Why are you guys here? How long have you all been waiting?”

Huo Shaoheng wasn’t surprised.

If the head of the Russian KGB was on a diplomatic trip in the Huaxia Empire, he would also have to send someone to keep an eye on him day and night. This was internationally ubiquitous diplomatic protocol..

However, Huo Shaoheng felt a little displeased that the two of them had been watching Gu Nianzhi.

He said calmly, “She’ll go with me.”

“Go with you? Does she have a military rank in your army, or does she have a proper job?” Vladimir rolled its eyes. “How can you let such a nice girl sneak around with you?”

Huo Shaoheng: ” ... ”

“That’s right, that’s right! ” The middle-aged driver stuck his head out of the car window and said excitedly, “It’ll be different if she comes with us! We’ll send her in openly, and don’t worry, we won’t do anything to her.”

Vladimir already had nothing more to say about the middle-aged driver’s habit of stealing the show.

With a blank expression on his face, he reached out and pressed his hand against the middle-aged driver’s forehead, then shoved him back into the car window.

“Cereus, we have an ID from the Internal Affairs Department and an invitation from the president. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.” Vladimir showed her the ID and the invitation.

Gu Nianzhi was surprised to see her name on the invitation.

She took the invitation and glanced at it. She said to Huo Shaoheng, “Why don’t I go with them?”

As long as she could get in, she didn’t mind the method.

But these two people had come to her with the invitation in broad daylight, so it was better than sneaking in with Huo Shaoheng, wasn’t it?

Huo Shaoheng naturally had a way to get Gu Nianzhi in, but now that the KGB had their eyes on her, it would be difficult to sneak in.

But would he be at ease?

However, at this moment, Huo Shaoheng didn’t want these people to see how important Gu Nianzhi was to him.

He would let them think that he valued her and loved her, but not to the point that she was his weakness.

If the KGB saw this, Huo Shaoheng knew that it would be disaster instead of blessing for Gu Nianzhi..

He nodded lightly. “If that’s the case, then you can go with them.”

He didn’t even look back as he got into the military camp’s car that came to pick him up, and the car drove off.

Vladimir’s eyes widened. “He, he, he, he... he just left like that! ”

Gu Nianzhi was very certain of Huo Shaoheng’s intentions now. She was no longer as worried about gains and losses as she was before, so she wasn’t unhappy.

She spread out her hands dismissively and said with a smile, “Yeah, he left, so I’ll just have to go with you guys.”

“That’s more like it! Cereus, come on up. There will be a surprise during today’s opening ceremony!” The middle-aged driver finally stuck his head out again.

Vladimir sneered. “Now that you spoiled it, it isn’t a surprise anymore! ”

“Oh... ” the middle-aged driver finally shut his mouth and stepped on the gas pedal to drive away.

The three of them had breakfast on the way.

Even though Gu Nianzhi had already eaten, she couldn’t resist Vladimir’s warm invitation, and the variety of mixed grain porridges appeared very appetizing to her, so she couldn’t help but have another bowl.

When she arrived at the park for the opening ceremony, she was about to be late.

The three of them showed their invitations and were quickly led in through the fast lane.

When they arrived at the venue, Gu Nianzhi could only gasp in surprise.

In the grassy venue, there were teams of Special Forces troops from all over the world. As if they could break someone’s neck with their bare hands any moment, all of them had fierce expressions on their faces.

She glanced over and immediately saw the special forces troops from the Huaxia Empire because they had the best military posture, vitality, and good looks!

Gu Nianzhi quickly glanced over, but didnt see Huo Shaoheng sitting in the middle of the Special Forces soldiers.

Just as she was feeling puzzled, Vladimir pulled her arm and motioned for her to look at the podium.

Gu Nianzhi looked up and indeed saw the Russian President Putin sitting in the center of the podium next to Huo Shaoheng!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The empty seat on the other side of the president made Huo Shaoheng stand out even more.

The leaders of other countries’ Special Forces also sat on the podium, but Huo Shaoheng’s seat was the most eye-catching!

Among all the leaders with fierce expressions on their faces, Huo Shaoheng, who was already very good-looking, stood out even more. He made the people around him look like beasts.

Only the president rivaled Huo Shaoheng with his 2.8-meter imposing height.

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help bt smile and even waved at the podium.

Just then, a staff member walked over and smiled at Gu Nianzhi as he said in English. “Miss Gu? Please follow me. Our president has reserved a seat for you as well.”

Vladimir and the chauffeur smiled as they pushed Gu Nianzhi. “Go, go, we’LL protect you from behind! ”

The middle-aged driver gestured with his fingers as if he was pointing a gun.

Gu Nianzhi: ” ... ”

Feeling as if she was sleepwalking, she followed the staff member backstage, then took the steps towards the podium.

The president turned around and saw her. He waved at her with a smile on his face and said in an extremely friendly manner, “Cereus, come, sit beside me. ”

Gu Nianzhi wasn’t sure if he had left the microphone on accidentally or intentionally.

His deep and mellow voice sounded through the microphone and reverberated in the air above the venue.

The venue, which had been somewhat noisy, immediately fell silent. Thousands of pairs of eyes stared at her as she walked step by step to the other side of the president.
