Chapter 1784
Hello, Mr. Major General
With a light click, the floor was tightly shut.
It was as if nothing had happened.
In the quaint little reception room, the curtains hung low, and the palace lights shined an apricot-yellow light on the head of the doll standing on the table in the middle of the room.
The dollâs Cherry Lips seemed to be smiling, but also seemed to be crying.
..
Gu Nianzhi fell from the sky with a thud and fell heavily to the ground.
After the floor was closed, the space below was so dark that one could not see oneâs fingers.
Her head hit the ground hard, and she was dizzy.
Fortunately, there was not much space under the floor, so she did not break her legs and fall so hard that her head was not bleeding.
She had just raised her head when she felt a whistling sound coming from above her head. She subconsciously rolled to the side.
Boom!
Another heavy object fell down, not far in front of her.
Gu Nianzhi couldnât see what had fallen down, but she quickly heard shallow breathing.
She didnât dare to breathe loudly. She didnât know who had come down, but she hugged her legs and hid in a hard corner.
When Huo Shaoheng fell, he held his breath and didnât know what was down there.
When he fell to the ground, he immediately felt the sound of someone holding their breath nearby. It was slow and light, but he could feel who was breathing.
Huo Shaoheng immediately turned to the direction of his breath and whispered,â... Grace?â
Gu Nianzhi looked up abruptly. Her big eyes, which couldnât see anything in the darkness, looked in the direction of the sound.
It was Huo Shaoheng!
He jumped down with her? !
Gu Nianzhi jumped over without thinking and happened to fall into Huo Shaohengâs arms.
Huo Shaoheng had just sat up when Gu Nianzhi pounced on him and threw him to the ground..
The two of them crossed their legs and hugged each other, chest to chest. They did not move for a moment.
Huo Shaohengâs whole body was on fire. The girl in his arms was like a pool of spring water, but it could not extinguish the fire in his heart.
His arms suddenly tightened around Gu Nianzhi, and his lips accurately found her lips and pressed them against hers.
â... are you okay?âHe asked softly beside her lips, his hot breath on her face, warm.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head, and the fear and panic from before were swept away.
As long as Huo Shaoheng was by her side, she would dare to go anywhere. This cave was nothing!
Gu nianzhi chuckled softly and kissed Huo Shaoheng on the lips. She whispered, âItâs fine. Why did you come down? Weâre both trapped here now...â
Huo Shaoheng held the back of her neck with his hand and rubbed it against her forehead. His voice was low and magnetic. âI didnât think too much. Iâll be wherever you are.â
Gu Nianzhi:â...â
The faint warmth in her heart instantly became a torrent that flowed through her limbs and bones.
She held Huo Shaohengâs forehead as tears silently flowed down her cheeks and dripped onto Huo Shaohengâs face.
Huo Shaoheng was shocked and sat up abruptly. He was a little anxious.â... Are you hurt? !â
He thought Gu Nianzhi was crying because of pain.
Gu Nianzhi buried her head in his arms and shook her head. âNo, Iâm fine. Iâm just too happy... havenât you heard of crying because of joy?â
Huo Shaoheng:â...â
He raised his hand for a long time before he put it down. He patted Gu Nianzhiâs back helplessly.
So he was acting coquettishly.
He hugged her and sat against the wall of the basement. He waited quietly for a while.
It was still quiet up there. No one was moving from up there, and there was no other sound around.
Huo Shaoheng waited until Gu Nianzhi had calmed down before he took out his phone from his pocket with one hand and swiped it open.
In the end, there was no signal on the phone.
The corners of Huo Shaohengâs mouth twitched. âThereâs actually an electromagnetic shield here...â
Gu Nianzhi poked her head out of his arms and whispered, âIf they donât bother us, I donât mind staying here with you for the night.â
Huo Shaoheng:â...â
He tapped gu nianzhi on the forehead and said in a low voice, âYou think you can make fun of your troubles and treat this place like a vacation cabin?â
âCanât I?âGu Nianzhi hugged his broad shoulders and leaned over to kiss him again, he smiled and said, âThe Ancients said that if we steal for half a day, they can plot and scheme against us, but they wonât allow us to cheat and cheat on them?â
Huo Shaoheng didnât know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed gu Nianzhiâs head. âWhat are you thinking about? Arenât you afraid? Weâve fallen into someone elseâs trap.â
Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and smiled. âOf course Iâm afraid. Iâm afraid I Canât go out. Iâm afraid I wonât be able to grow old with you.â
Huo Shaoheng had always been a cold-hearted person. He didnât show any emotion towards Gu Nianzhi.
However, when he heard this, his cold heart actually felt a rare sourness.
âThat wonât happen. âIâve just analyzed it. Although this is a basement, there wonât be any particularly dangerous places because this place is the center of C City. The other party has a big family and is very cautious. They probably wonât do anything to us here.â
â... but they tricked us into coming here and keeping us here. Are they going to imprison us?âGu Nianzhi relied on the darkness to hide herself. She looked around and even took advantage of Huo Shaoheng from time to time.
Huo Shaoheng couldnât take it anymore. He grabbed her hand and said hoarsely, âIf you donât behave, weâll kill you on the spot.â
Gu Nianzhi giggled and went up to kiss his chin. âDo you really dare? Donât think that just because itâs dark here, others wonât be able to see it. Thereâs another thing called an infrared camera.â
Huo Shaoheng shook his head. âI already checked this place when I turned on my phone just now. There were no hidden cameras, let alone infrared cameras.â
â... There arenât any...âgu nianzhi scoffed. âLooks like theyâre not that brave after all...â
As she spoke, she took out her phone and said proudly, âWhatâs with the electromagnetic shielding? My Dadâs unshielded phone!â
She unlocked her phone and activated the electromagnetic shielding anti-interference system. Sure enough, it didnât take long for her phone to get a signal.
Huo Shaoheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, âAlright, Hurry up and call someone to save us.â
Gu nianzhi nodded and dialed Lu Jinâs number first.
âDad! Hurry up and call someone to save us! Iâll send you the location!â
She sent a text message first and then asked for a video call.
The call was quickly connected, but after hearing gu nianzhiâs request, âLu Jinâactually hesitated for a moment before saying,â... Have you guys had lunch?â
F * ck lunch!
How many times had this been? !
Gu Nianzhi was furious. âDad! Are you kidding me? ! Iâm being held captive in the basement! Do you know that? !â
The call was cut off.
Gu Nianzhi:â...â
She finally realized that something was wrong.
â... No, my dad would never do this to me.âGu nianzhi muttered, âIf my dad saw me like this, he would run over to save me!â
Huo Shaoheng also felt that something was wrong. He remembered Lu Yuan asking him to look at Lu Jin before he left, and his heart sank. He said, âOh no, your dad might have left the capital long ago.â
Gu Nianzhi also remembered that there was something wrong with Lu Jin and Lu Jin when they left the capital. She became anxious, âThatâs right! My dad must have left a long time ago. The person who spoke to me... the person who spoke to me... wasnât even real!â
Huo Shaoheng nodded as well. âIt should be a hologram of him, just like... Gu Xiangwenâs performance on the submarine over there.â
Gu Nianzhi almost cried. âThose were his last words! Youâre not allowed to use such metaphors!â
She had been lazy and didnât want to go out immediately.
She had been investigating for so long and finally had a breakthrough. She didnât care even if she was set up by someone.
If you donât go into the Tigerâs Den, you wonât get the Tigerâs cub.
In addition, Huo Shaoheng was by her side. She was even more lawless and daring.
But now that she realized that something might have happened to Lu Jin, or that he was going to cause trouble, she couldnât stay.
Gu Nianzhi supported herself against the wall and stood up. Using the light from her phone screen, she looked at the basement.
The place wasnât big, only about four or five square meters. It was surrounded by gray cement walls, and the floor was covered with a layer of plastic flooring to protect it from moisture.
The ceiling was not high, at most two meters.
Huo Shaoheng was 1.88 meters tall. He straightened his body slightly, and his head was almost touching the ceiling.
It was no wonder that when they fell, it was only a little painful. They were not really hurt.
âWhat should we do? It seems like thereâs no way out except for the movable floor above us.âGu nianzhi said in confusion, âWhat are they doing? Are they just going to leave us here and starve us to death?â
Huo Shaoheng did not say anything. He stood up and reached his hand out to the area above them where they had just fallen. He pressed down inch by inch.
Gu Nianzhi muttered to herself as she spun around, unable to calm down for a moment.
She wished she could fly out with wings!
Huo Shaoheng took out the tools commonly used by field workers from his trouser pocket and began to drill holes in the floor above them.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at his work without the slightest bit of worry. She wanted nothing more than to hang onto his strong arm.
Huo Shaoheng focused on drilling the hole and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
He looked down at Gu Nianzhi and asked,â... is there a problem with your breathing?â
Gu Nianzhi took two deep breaths. âNo? Whatâs Wrong?â
Huo Shaoheng felt that the tightness in his chest was getting worse.
He endured the pain and used more strength to drill the hole.
Fortunately, the house was made of wood, and the floor above his head was made of solid wood. Although it was very solid teak, it was nothing compared to the small tools that the field staff carried with them.
It just needed time because the floor was too thick.
Gu Nianzhi watched Huo Shaoheng drill the hole with rapt attention and raised her phone to light him up.
Gradually, she noticed that Huo Shaohengâs face was getting paler and paler. Beads of sweat were forming on his forehead, and his arms were trembling slightly, as if he couldnât even hold the tools in his hands.
However, he still stood there like a mountain, shielding her from all possible dangers and obstacles.
Gu Nianzhiâs pupils constricted. She grabbed Huo Shaohengâs arm and placed her hand on his pulse to roughly sense it.
Huo Shaohengâs pulse was very slow, and even his heartbeat seemed to have slowed down.
By this time, Huo Shaoheng already knew what was going on here.
The space here was exceptionally well-sealed, and there was insufficient oxygen supply.
The floor above his head was not drilled through, and he could barely hold on any longer.
Gu Nianzhi grabbed Huo Shaohengâs arm. âStop drilling!â
She growled and pulled him down. âWhatâs Wrong?â
Huo Shaoheng looked at her nervous little face and tried to say,â... nothing, just a little stuffy.â
âStuffy?âGu Nianzhi frowned. âDonât you think so?â
But Huo Shaohengâs symptom was a lack of oxygen.
Gu Nianzhi understood that the space was sealed, so they had stayed inside for a while and ran out of oxygen, so Huo Shaohengâs chest was stuffy and he couldnât breathe.
She didnât have time to think about why she didnât have this symptom, so she pulled Huo shaoheng away and said, âLet me do it!â
Just as she was about to make a move, she heard footsteps above her head.
Someone was coming..
