BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2079
Chapter 2079: Chapter 2079 who was more anxious
He Zhichu silently finished smoking half a cigar and handed the rest of the cigar to his personal secretary.
The personal secretary took out a specially-made sealed metal box and put the cigar inside.
The cigar that had been isolated from the air was quickly extinguished. It was waiting to be destroyed when they returned and then dissolved into the water.
“Reporting to the chief, all arrests have been made!”
He Zhichu raised his hand. “Send them to the court martial and send someone to look after them.”
Not long after, the other two officers who had been arrested in accordance with the arrest warrant also called him and replied, “Reporting to the chief, all arrests have been made.”
He Zhichu let out a long sigh and a faint smile appeared on his face. His almond-shaped eyes narrowed. “Thank you for your hard work. Send them to the court martial and send someone to look after them.”
He paused for a moment before continuing,”... Merry Christmas.”
“Merry Christmas, Chief!”The officer on the other side was full of pride and joy as he replied loudly.
After arranging everything, he zhichu rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
It had been more than three months since Gu Nianzhi had left after his father’s death.
During these three months, he had been holding his breath as he remembered his father and suppressed his longing for Gu Nianzhi. At the same time, he had been planning his strategy of “Catching them all in one fell swoop.”.
Although his original aspirations were not there, he could not let go of what his father and grandfather had risked their lives to protect.
Furthermore, with his family background, even if he let go, he would either be imprisoned for life or exiled overseas for the rest of his life.
This was not what he wanted.
He could not be driven out of that position like a stray dog.
He Zhichu’s expression turned cold.
“Let’s go home.”
Behind him, the mansion that was filled with colorful lights and laughter a moment ago was now dark and quiet. It was as if someone had grabbed his throat and could not make any sound.
..
He Zhichu brought his guards back to the West Mountain Villa.
There was also a Christmas dinner here.
The difference was that Xie Qingying was the one who presided over this place. Other than the guest list, he zhichu had given it to her.
From the looks of it, she was doing pretty well.
He Zhichu’s eyes gradually warmed up as he slowly walked up the steps.
Merry Christmas music echoed in the hall. It was a song that everyone was familiar with, “Jingle bells”.
He zhichu walked in silently.
Just as he stood at the entrance hall of the living room, a chubby little girl rushed over without thinking. She hugged his thigh and said with a smile, “Brother he, you’re finally back!”
She was wearing a white whale-bone dress, the hem of which was wide open like a blooming night epiphyllum.
He Zhichu was in a daze. He looked down at the little girl, who was about 11 or 12 years old, as if he had seen Gu Nianzhi all those years ago..
He stood there without moving. He just looked at her expressionlessly.
The little girl smiled for a while. Seeing that there was no response, she was a little bored.
She let go of his leg, touched her nose, and mumbled,”... not saying a word, is he a mute?”
At this time, Xie qingying hurried over and said to the little girl, “Xie Qingfen, you’re so rude. Be careful, I’ll tell your father later!”
“The cousin brother-in-law that eldest cousin sister is going to marry is a mute!”Xie Qingfen did not seem to be afraid at all, and she even made a face at Xie qingying.
He Zhichu’s brows furrowed imperceptibly. He said coldly, “You’re not old, but you’re quite shrewd.”
After he said that, he walked in without blinking. When he passed by Xie qingying, he said lightly, “Children who don’t have manners should be chased out. Don’t ever appear in front of me again.”
Xie qingying was stunned for a moment, and then her face burned.
Although Xie Qingfen was a little bold and reckless, she was still her cousin. She was the youngest daughter of her fifth uncle, Xie Beichen. She was the most pampered.
If she was chased out just like that, she would offend her fifth uncle. How would she behave in the Xie family in the future?
In the Xie family, Xie Qingying’s father was only a branch. He had already served the prime minister, Xie Beichen, five times.
However, the Xie family was a big family. The ranking of Xie Beichen’s relatives in this generation was still based on the entire family.
Therefore, although Xie Beichen was the eldest son of his branch, he was ranked fifth in the entire family.
The younger generation of Xie Qingying’s generation was very close to their cousins, so they usually called him fifth uncle.
They only called him prime minister to outsiders.
Xie qingying was also favored by Xie Beichen because after she came back from studying abroad, she used her professional knowledge to help Xie beichen run for the election. It was only because of this that they became close to each other when they moved around.
The relationship between relatives was based on being close to each other.
No matter how close they were by blood, if they did not interact with each other for a long time, their relationship would not be as close as those distant relatives that they saw every day.
Xie qingying hesitated for a while before following he zhichu through the side door. They avoided the bustling crowd in the hall and went up to the second floor.
The soundproofing on the second floor was very good. When the door was closed, not a sound could be heard from outside.
Xie qingying took the black cloak with Fox fur that he zhichu took off and hung it on the coat rack at the door, she pleaded for Xie qingfen, “Young master he, Qingfen is young, and our family dotes on her very much. It’s her first time coming to our house again, so she’s very excited. She has always known your name and worships you. She’s too excited today. You’re an adult, so be magnanimous. Don’t lower yourself to the level of a child.”
He Zhichu took off his military jacket and changed into his casual shoes at home. He looked up at Xie qingying and asked calmly,”... how old is she?”
Xie qingying quickly replied, “She just turned twelve, but she’s a little fat and not very tall, so people often think that she’s only eight or nine years old.”
“Twelve years old. She’s not a child anymore.”He Zhichu walked into the cloakroom and put on a casual shirt. Without turning his head, he said, “Don’t let me see this person in the future.”
Xie qingying was shocked. “Young master he, you really don’t like Qingfen that much? She didn’t do anything, right? As for saying that you’re mute, isn’t that just a phrase used by children to save their dignity? Do you really want to lower yourself to her level?”
He zhichu glanced at her and thought to himself, she looks pretty smart normally, but she actually didn’t feel anything wrong with this matter?
He was thinking about whether to remind her, but seeing how she was protecting his cousin, he couldn’t bear it.
He sat down on the sofa alone and said, “Pour me a glass of red wine.”
Xie qingying went to the wine cabinet to search for a while. She poured him a glass of French Bordeaux 1983 red wine, but it only covered the bottom of the glass slightly.
She placed the red wine in front of He Zhichu and said in a low voice, “Do you want to eat something?”
He zhichu nodded. “Get me something to eat.”
Xie qingying left the living room where he was resting and went to the first floor to order the kitchen to prepare supper for he zhichu.
At this moment, her fifth uncle, the prime minister, Xie Beichen, walked over and said anxiously, “Qingying, where’s young master he? Is he back?”
“He just came back. What’s Wrong?”Xie qingying asked uneasily. She thought that her fifth uncle was here to stand up for his youngest daughter, Xie Qingfen.
“I just received news that young master he has brought people to capture six people!”Xie Beichen said as he spread out his hands, revealing a note with the names of the six people.
Xie qingying took a look and her breathing immediately froze.
“It can’t be? ! These six people have all been captured? !”
Xie Beichen’s expression gradually changed. “Yes, that’s why I want to ask young master he. What exactly is going on? What is he trying to do? ! If such a huge upheaval suddenly occurs in the military, how can he convince the masses by himself? !”
Xie qingying composed herself, subconsciously, she spoke up for he zhichu.”... fifth uncle, young master he had no choice but to do this. For the past three months, young master he has been living in seclusion. Why is the general guarding the tomb and mourning? But these people are constantly trying to trip him up. What can he do?”
“No matter how hard he tries to trip him up, he can’t do this!”Xie beichen was so anxious that his hair had turned white. “If this person is captured, who will be in charge of the work? ! If such a huge change occurs in our military, what will the foreign media say? !”
“Who cares what they say!”Xie qingying was even more unwilling to listen to these words. “I’m also a media person. If the foreign media dares to speak nonsense, we won’t just sit and wait for death.”
The other party’s entire body was riddled with holes, yet he still wanted to pick on others. Could it be that he felt that everyone else was blind and did not know how to “Give him a taste of his own medicine”?
“You said so too!”Xie beichen was so anxious that he was spinning in circles. “You can’t make the decision anyway! Find young master he for me. I have something to ask him!”
Xie qingying’s expression was a little ugly.
Why couldn’t she make the decision for young master he?
She was already engaged..
However, seeing that Xie Beichen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, she thought for a while before saying, “I’ll bring young master he supper later. You should come with me.”
Xie beichen could not wait any longer. “You go and Rush the supper first. I’ll go up myself.”
Xie qingying had no choice but to give he zhichu a call. “Young master he, my Uncle Beichen has something urgent to see you.”
He Zhichu agreed. “Let him come up.”
Xie Beichen walked quickly to the living room on the second floor and entered without knocking.
He Zhichu sat calmly in the room. The lights in the room were very dim, and only his tall silhouette could be seen under the light.
“Prime Minister Xie is here. Please take a seat.”He pointed at the sofa across from him.
Xie Beichen did not have the intention to sit down and talk for a long time. He said angrily, “Young master he, I thought we had reached an agreement. This matter needs to be settled slowly. Why did you arrest them all at once? !”
He Zhichu looked at Xie Beichen steadily. His expression did not change as he said, “When did I reach an agreement with you? Show me the agreement that I signed.”
Xie Beichen was speechless. After a while, he said, “I thought we already knew each other.”
“That’s all because of you. When did I ever agree to your proposal?”He Zhichu stood up, his hands in his trouser pockets.
Even though he had already changed out of his military uniform, standing there still gave off the aura of a soldier.
Xie Beichen licked his lips uneasily and said,”... but even so, you’re too anxious...”
“Am I as anxious as prime minister Xie?”He Zhichu’s shimmering peach blossom eyes revealed a mocking expression. He said with a half-smile, “How much time did your fat twelve-year-old daughter Spend Learning Nianzhi’s words and actions? HMM?”
