Part 2 Hello, Mr. Major General I'm Gu Nianzi

203. You go with her!

Yin Shixiong supported himself on the coffee table to crawl up from the floorboards and sit down on the sofa. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the monitor, uttering gloomily, "Nianzhi's post-grad instructor, Professor He gave her an opportunity to intern at the United States Congress for six months. So Nianzhi asked me if her passport was still valid and if she could go"
"An opportunity from Professor He?" Huo Shaoheng used the mouse to open B University's Faculty of Law website to check He Zhichu's homepage and CV.
"Thoroughly investigate He Zhichu's background and origin in detail, if there's nothing wrong, help her with their passport." Huo Shaoheng was silent for a long time, his inky eyes inscrutable, "As to whether not not to intern at the United States Congress, let Nianzhi decide for herself."
Yin Shixiong agreed, then asked, "But Nianzhi won't be 18 until October, so she needs a guardian to travel abroad with her before then." He studied Huo Shaoheng's expression to gauge his reaction.
Huo Shaoheng rose from his seat to move away from the monitor and stood by the window. He had a cigarette between his fingers and lowered his head to light it, inhaling deeply. He watched Prague's sparkling starry sky outside the window and said dryly, "If Nianzhi chooses to go, Big Xiong, you go with her. It's only six months and it's a good chance for you to see how the goldfishes in America are doing..."
The Empire and the United States were the only two super nations on Blue Planet. Other than normal exchanges and trades, there were also secret tensions and all sorts of espionage. The American CIA had spies in the Empire and the Imperial Special Operations Forces also planted men in America. Thus they were doing the same thing and neither could stand on higher moral ground and point fingers.
"Ok." Yin Shixiong nodded at the monitor, "Nianzhi won't graduate for another two weeks, we'll make arrangements then." After they finished discussing Gu Nianzhi, Yin Shixiong then asked about Huo Shaoheng's overseas mission.
Zhao Liangze shook his head at the webcam," Just focus on taking care of Nianzhi, don't worry about our side. Everything is normal."
Yin Shixiong couldn't say anything more and cracked a few jokes before turning off the computer and going to bed.
Huo Shaoheng was still concerned and specifically asked Zhao Liangze to do a complete investigation on He Zhichu. As long as there wasn't anything fishy with the professor, he could set his mind at ease and let Gu Nianzhi go with Yin Shixiong to experience America. Even if Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything, Zhao Liangze would've dug up He Zhichu for Yin Shixiong. When Hi Zhichu was recruiting at C University, they had already fully investigated him and didn't find anything illicit. They also had a third party verify his CV and everything lined up. Because it involved the United States Congress this time, they had to revisit He Zhichu's information again and check if anything had been missed. He Zhichu's social relations was the focus of this investigation.
"Mr. Huo, are you really not worried?" Zhoa Liangze expressed his concerns in a low voice as he browsed online, "Nianzhi's grown up under our secure protection for the past six years, and even so, there has been a few mishaps. Are you sure about her leaving our turf and going to America for six months?"
The cigarette in Huo Shaoheng's hand glowed, but he didn't smoke from it. His gaze was heavy on the night sky out the window, "It's because she's been with us for six years and we still haven't been able to find out her past, that's why" That's why it was time to make a move to see if when it is dark in the east, it is light in the west. Perhaps they would find unexpected results.
Zhao Liangze merely listened and didn't speak again for a long time. However the sound of his hammering on the keyboard grew much louder, tatatatatats like he was venting. The keyboard on the laptop was about to fall apart.
