Chapter 1460: Where to find?
Bai Jinyi’s slightly aged and hoarse voice came from the phone.
“... I don’t know who called me. The phone number was also very strange. I tried to check it once, but it was an invalid number.”
“... the person who called was a man. I’ve never heard his voice before. He seemed to be very anxious and only called for less than a minute.”. He spoke very quickly. He hurriedly told me the time and place, and then said that he would give me a big gift if he asked me to bring Huo Shaoheng with him at this time and place! — and the result? A big gift, my ass! He’s an out-and-out liar!”
Huo Shaoheng’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but his expression remained calm and composed, he smiled faintly and said, “Thank you, director Bai. This clue is indeed very important. However, Bai Jinyi’s concealment has indeed caused a great deal of trouble and loss to our work.”
Bai Yueran understood what Huo Shaoheng meant, she lowered her voice. “Huo Shao, I really have no intention of pleading for my aunt. I just want to tell you that she knows about this clue. As for the fact that she knew about it seven years ago and didn’t report it, it’s also the truth. I Won’t plead for her.”
She sent the recording to Huo Shaoheng. “You can study it yourself. I’m going back first.”
Huo Shaoheng looked at Bai Yueran’s lonely figure as she turned around and said sincerely, “Thank you, director Bai.”
Bai Yueran did not turn around. She waved her hand casually. “You’re welcome, Huo Shao. This is my duty.”
She had her own selfish motives. She wanted to protect the Bai family’s reputation and the overall interests of the family, but she had never made a mistake in her work. Moreover, the interests of the country were definitely ahead of the Bai family to her.
Perhaps in the eyes of some people, she could neither be completely impartial nor care for her family. She was even a little unreasonable, but she did not want to change her ways.
She had her own limits on what she should and shouldn’t do.
Huo Shaoheng silently shifted his gaze to his phone.
Bai Yueran had just transferred all the content of Bai Jinyi’s conversation to his phone.
Bai Jinyi’s voice was very, very low. With such a low voice, the surveillance system in the visiting room probably wouldn’t be able to record this conversation.
Therefore, Bai Yueran really did him a big favor.
Huo Shaoheng furrowed his brows slightly and transferred the conversation to the computer. He used the audio system to analyze if there was any tampering and editing before he amplified it so that he could hear it more clearly.
He listened to the recording over and over again in his office alone and gradually came up with a few clues.
Seven years ago, he had saved Nianzhi. It had been a result of careful planning, not a coincidence.
As for Nianzhi’s memory loss, he did not know if it had been intentional, or if it had been an accident, or if she had lost her memory in the first place.
However, he was certain that the moment Nianzhi had come to his side, he had lost contact with her.
This was because they had spent six years without finding any clues.
The only clue that had surfaced was when he zhichu had come to Nianzhi’s side a year ago.
It seemed that he zhichu was the key to the problem.
Huo Shaoheng’s frown deepened.
Was the invalid number he had called Bai Jinyi the same as the two invalid numbers they had encountered later.
However, Bai Jinyi would definitely not say it out loud. This was her trump card that she wanted to hang up and sell.
After careful consideration, Huo Shaoheng did not plan to let her have her way.
In fact, even if this invalid number was the same as the previous two, it would be of no use.
This was because with their current technology, there was no way they could investigate this invalid number.
Moreover, after thinking about it, he still believed that there were two groups of people behind the living Gu Nianzhi. One group had no ill intentions towards her, and the other group wanted to kill her.
The person who had sent the text to Xiao Ye’s mother must have wanted her dead.
However, the group who had kidnapped her this time should have no ill intentions towards her.
Even so, Huo Shaoheng still felt uneasy.
He was used to having her under his wing.
This woman could have no parents or friends, but she couldn’t have no him.
He was also worried about handing her over to anyone.
But now, she was nowhere to be found.
Huo Shaoheng walked out of his office with a heavy heart. He said to Zhao liangze, who was outside the door, expressionlessly, “I’m going to the Institute of High Energy Physics. You have full authority over what happens here.”
Zhao liangze looked at him worriedly. He felt that Huo Shaoheng’s mental state was not quite right.
In his opinion, Huo Shaoheng should be very sad, sad, angry, and desperate, just like how he had watched Bai Shuang die right in front of him. However, Huo Shaoheng’s expression did not change at all.
He continued to work and was as comfortable as before. Although he was also constantly looking for Gu Nianzhi, he did not forget about the entire special operations forces and the military.
No matter how capable Huo Shaoheng was, he was still a human being.
Although they were soldiers and their ability to endure hardship was much higher than ordinary people, it did not mean that they were as tough as steel and could not feel pain.
Zhao LIANGZE did not dare imagine what would happen if Gu Nianzhi could not be found after he suppressed himself like this.
However, looking at Huo Shaoheng’s tall and resolute back, he could only say, “Yes, Chief.”
..
Huo Shaoheng came out of his office and asked fan Jian to drive him to the Institute of High Energy Physics.
First, he took Huo Guanyuan’s phone back to study it. Second, he wanted to see the results of Chen Lie’s DNA comparison.
After they got off the plane, Chen Lie dove into the Institute of High Energy Physics and worked with song jinning to conduct large-scale calculations using a quantum computer. He did not return to the headquarter of special operation forces’encampment ground.
It was already dark when they reached the entrance of the Institute of High Energy Physics.
Huo Shaoheng got out of the car and leaned against the door to smoke a cigarette before walking in.
Song Jinning was in her office eating dinner while watching the data running on the computer.
Seeing Huo Shaoheng come in, she quickly asked, “You’re here. Have you had dinner?”
Huo Shaoheng wasn’t hungry at first, but when he saw the two dishes and soup on song Jinning’s desk, he suddenly felt hungry.
He shook his head. “Not yet. Do you have anything to eat?”
“Let’s go to the canteen. Our canteen here is not bad.”Song jinning cleaned up the dishes and spoons on the table and stood up with the rice card.
Huo Shaoheng:”...”
He had almost forgotten that song jinning didn’t cook much either.
The two dishes and one soup on the table were obviously bought from the canteen.
He didn’t say anything and quietly followed song jinning out of the office. He was still thinking about the discoveries and doubts he had made over the past few days.
All the clues were arranged into a web in his mind. He only needed to wait for a result, which was the comparison of Chen Lie’s DNA sequence. Then, he would be able to find his way through the maze-like web.
The two of them walked out of the experimental building. It didn’t take long before they arrived at the Institute of High Energy Physics’cafeteria.
It was only around 6:30 pm, and the cafeteria was at its liveliest.
People came and went. The lights were bright, and the air was filled with the unique aroma of food in the cafeteria. There was a sense of beauty and warmth in the atmosphere.
Huo Shaoheng and song jinning walked in.
“Inspector Song, You Brought Your Son to Dinner?”
Those who were familiar with song jinning greeted her with a smile.
Song jinning nodded with a smile. “Yes, he’s too busy. He didn’t even have time to eat dinner. I’ll bring him another meal.”
Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets. It was obvious that his mind was elsewhere. He nodded casually and followed song jinning to buy two dishes and a soup. He placed them in a food box that he could take with him.
The two of them returned to Song Jinning’s office. Huo Shaoheng sat at song Jinning’s desk and began eating dinner.
Mother and son rarely ate together like this.
Song jinning looked at Huo Shaoheng carefully and suddenly said, “You’ve lost a lot of weight recently. Although you’re busy with work, you have to take care of your health.”
When Huo Shaoheng did not go out on missions, he ate and slept very regularly.
In his official residence, he had to eat a steak every meal, as well as a variety of high-protein nutritious meals.
However, for the past few days, he had indeed been hungry and full. He couldn’t eat and felt nothing at all.
Huo Shaoheng paused and replied with an “MHM.”He quickly finished everything on his plate.
After clearing the dishes, he said to song jinning, “Uncle’s phone is still with you, right?”
Song Jinning looked at him strangely. “Yes, why? Why do you need his phone?”
“I want to take a look.”He told song jinning what Bai Jinyi had said, and finally asked,”... do you think there’s a way to find out where the call from seven years ago came from?”
Song Jinning looked very serious. She frowned and thought for a moment, then said, “It’s hard to say. If the phone carrier can’t find out where the number came from, then only the quantum communicator has the ability.”
Huo Shaoheng looked up in surprise. “Quantum communicator? isn’t Gu Xiangwen a broken quantum communicator?”
Song jinning nodded. “That’s right. I don’t have the ability to fix it. Didn’t Nianzhi say she wanted to do some research on it?”
Song Jinning was filled with regret when she accidentally mentioned Gu Nianzhi. She quickly glanced at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng had already fallen silent. “It should be at Nianzhi’s house. I’ll bring it over for you to do some more research.”
“I really don’t have that kind of ability.”Song Jinning was telling the truth. “Look, the quantum computer we worked so hard to create is only a prototype. How can we possibly repair a more advanced quantum communicator?”
“Even you don’t have that kind of ability. Then... how did Gu Xiangwen come up with it?”Huo Shaoheng was puzzled.
Song Jinning shook her head. “I’m not sure either, but I’m about to unlock the music box. Why Don’t I give you my phone and you can do your own research. I’ll go see if I can unlock Gu Xiangwen’s music box as soon as possible?”
Huo Shaoheng and the others had found the music box from Gu Xiangwen’s “Cereus I”submarine. According to Gu Xiangwen’s holographic last words, it contained his greatest research results.
“Okay, let me take a look at that phone.”Huo Shaoheng agreed. He took the phone from his uncle, Huo Guanyuan, from song Jinning’s hands.

This was the first update of the day: Chapter 1460, “Where is the gentleman?”.
Thank you for your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.
They had been working overtime today, but when they saw that the monthly ticket was already 6,000, they went home at night and worked hard to code the second update.
