Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1626: Be Blocked

Gu Nianzhi could not react in time. She withdrew her hand and said with a straight face, “Stop counting it. You didn’t want it. Don’t say that I took advantage of you.” She turned around and returned to her apartment, closing the door with a slam.

Far East Ace stood in the elevator and looked at the door that Gu Nianzhi had just closed. He still had the same cold expression on his face.

The camera was fixed on the CCTV near Lu Jin’s apartment.

Lu Jin waved his fist at the monitor and snorted. “How dare you disrespect my daughter! You’re going to be punished!”

Lu Jin, Gu Nianzhi, and Lu Yuan have had a newly developed surveillance system installed in the hallway and elevator of their apartment building’s level.

This surveillance system uses a miniature surveillance camera, the size of a needle tip. Its features include high-performance facial recognition, allowing them to monitor the elevator on their floor in a timely manner.

Only Lu Jin, Lu Yuan, and Gu Nianzhi’s appearances were stored in this system.

If a fourth person enters the elevator, the surveillance camera would inform the police.

When Deputy Chief Counsel Peter entered the life, the alarm from the monitor was triggered, waking Lu Jin.

He scrambled to his feet and pounced on the monitor. Lu Jin then witnessed the entire process of the Deputy Chief Counsel Peter and Gu Nianzhi entering the room.

He was so anxious, he wanted to rush to Gu Nianzhi’s door and stop Mr. Peter several times.

But he resisted the urge.

Because his daughter is all grown up, he had to give her some autonomy and trust that she would be able to handle this matter on her own.

After all, Gu Nianzhi was Peter’s savior. Lu Jin had a hunch that he wouldn’t do anything to harm Gu Nianzhi.

Nevertheless, this sort of pestering was painful for Lu Jin to watch.

Fortunately, his daughter was smart enough to use him as her shield to successfully scare Peter away!

That’s right, so what if he has diplomatic immunity? !

As Nianzhi’s father, he could dislike Peter without a reason. Why should he watch what he says just in case he embarrassed her?

.....

Far East Ace walked out of the elevator and saw that the snowfall outside had indeed gotten heavier.

He expressionlessly pulled up the collar of his coat and ran out onto the sidewalk of the apartment complex, into the snowfall.

Without walking far off, Far East Ace suddenly stopped.

His gaze fell onto a Holly tree along the sidewalk.

If he was not mistaken, from the streetlight that shone from behind the holly tree, a figure could be vaguely seen standing behind the tree.

The person standing behind the tree waited for a while, but when he saw that Far East Ace was not going to leave and was looking in his direction, he chuckled and walked out from behind the Holly Tree.

“Deputy Chief Counsel Peter must really care about our Nianzhi.”The person held a lighter in his hand, and with a whoosh, he lit the cigarette in his mouth.

Far East Ace looked at the man quietly. His aloof expression returned to normal. He said calmly, “So it’s you, Chief Lu.”

This man was Lu Yuan.

From the moment Far East Ace entered the lift, Lu Yuan was aware that he was in the apartment complex vicinity. Lu Jin’s surveillance system monitor was also installed in his room. It was supposed to be a precautionary measure, since it was safer for two persons, rather than one, to have access to the surveillance monitor.

Unlike Lu Jin, Lu Yuan felt uncomfortable watching Gu Nianzhi alone with another man. Moreover, he was more interested in Deputy Chief Counsel Peter. He waited for a while, and when he saw Gu Nianzhi’s firm attitude, he decided to come out early to wait for Peter along the road he has to pass through.

Lu Yuan wasn’t prepared to talk to him, but Deputy Chief Counsel Peter was so observant that he noticed Lu Yuan almost immediately.

Lu Yuan was wearing a textured charcoal gray cashmere coat. He lowered his eyes, took a drag on his cigarette, and said nonchalantly, “Deputy Chief Counsel Peter attended to an important issue during your trip to the United States this time.”

The Far East Ace’s face turned cold. He looked at Lu Yuan sternly. “Chief Lu, I don’t understand what you mean.”

“You don’t understand?” Lu Yuan still did not raise his head. He looked at the snow on the ground and said calmly, “The whole world knows that your country’s Yeltsin and Gorbachev were assassinated in New York.”

“That’s an embarrassment for our country! Our country’s top leader, Mr. Putin, has already lodged a serious protest with the United States. He has also closed the American embassy in the Soviet Union and expelled their diplomats.”

The Far East Ace put one hand behind his back and smiled faintly. “Chief Lu seems very concerned about the deaths of the two leaders, Yeltsin and Gorbachev...”

“... the television repeatedly broadcasts this piece of news, 24 hours a day. It’s impossible not to be concerned.” Lu Yuan raised his head and exhaled a mouthful of smoke, blurring his vision.

He stared at the beautiful man in front of him. It was as though he was looking at an astonishingly beautiful woman through him.

The Far East Ace scoffed, obviously not believing his words.

He sized up Lu Yuan, who was almost as tall as him, and suddenly asked,”... But why does Cheif Lu care about Yeltsin and Gorbachev, and not others? Are they special to you?”

Lu Yuan’s deep, cold eyes suddenly lit up, like the hot blue flame, almost penetrating through all the fog.

“Why does Deputy Chief Counsel Peter think that these two people have a special meaning to me?” Lu Yuan did not answer his question directly, but asked in return, “I’m just a businessman, I never get involved in politics, let alone other countries’ politics.”

“Really? That’s even more strange.” The corners of the Far East Ace’s lips curled into a smile, “Just a businessman who doesn’t care about politics, and yet after he found out that our country’s two leaders, Yeltsin and Gorbenshev, were killed, he stopped me in my path, amidst the heavy snow, and specifically asked about the situation of these two people.”

“Chief Lu, don’t you think the reason you gave is illogical?”

Lu Yuan took another puff. He said nonchalantly, “I told you, the news nowadays is amazing. You just can’t not pay attention to it. I’m just curious. At that time, Deputy Chief Counsel Peter was also present. With Mr. Peter’s ability, how could they succeed? If I remember correctly, Deputy Chief Counsel Peter once personally admitted to us that you’re from the Committee of State Security (KGB) right?”

That was what he said when the hidden camera he installed at Gu Nianzhi’s place was discovered. He personally came to where Gu Nianzhi was nursing to apologize and explained that it was merely his professional habit. He even claimed that he was with the KGB of the Soviet Union, inviting Lu Yuan and Lu Jin to work with him so that Gu Nianzhi’s safety could be guaranteed.

The smile on the Far East Ace’s face faded, and a new smile soon appeared. “Cheif Lu seems very interested in politics. From what I can see, your sensitivity towards political issues is exceptionally high.”

“You flatter me.” Lu Yuan gave a superficial smile. “It’s just that I once had a politics-related dream, but it was shattered. I can only be an honest businessman, a career with no future.”

“For someone like Chief Lu to say that his business has no future, then people like us really don’t want to live anymore.” The Far East Ace took a step forward with a faint smile, getting closer to Lu Yuan.

He leaned forward slightly, moving even closer to Lu Yuan, and whispered something.

Lu Yuan’s expression suddenly changed, and he stared blankly at the young man in front of him, not even noticing that the cigarette was about to burn his fingers.
