Chapter 2196: Chapter 2196 Operation Nightingale (5)(2nd update)

From the semi-open door of the private room, everyone could only see that Gu Nianzhi had almost bumped into a handsome Eastern European man.

Of course, she had always been close and had not bumped into him.

No one paid any attention to it.

This club was a restaurant and entertainment club. There were all kinds of handsome men, beautiful waitresses, and physical therapists, so no one was surprised.

Gu Nianzhi went to the bathroom to clean up, and then went to the shop that the clubhouse had brought with it to buy a knee-length silk gown. She put it on to cover the red wine stains on her dress.

She returned to the private room and sat down. Zhang Baochen asked in surprise, “Miss Gu, Why didn’t you buy a new dress to change into? This long gown doesn’t match your outfit today…”

“How am I supposed to change in a clubhouse like this?”Gu Nianzhi glanced at him. “Even the bathroom is trembling with fear. What if there’s a camera?”

Huo Shaoheng looked a little nervous. “You didn’t use the bathroom here, did you?”

“I was just going to wash the wine stains on my dress.”Gu Nianzhi smiled and turned to look at Huo Shaoheng. She immediately became affectionate.

Zhang Baochen lowered his head and drank awkwardly.

Lu Yuan smiled generously and said, “The dishes are all here. Let’s eat first.”

The dishes Gu Nianzhi had ordered were mainly from Chaozhou cuisine. Chaozhou cuisine was known as “A feast without seafood”. When cooking, it was mainly to preserve the fresh, sweet, and original taste of seafood.

This clubhouse was also particular about “Never getting tired of food, never getting tired of cooking, never getting tired of detail”. The dishes were small and exquisite, so most of them were small plates and small plates. They were placed on the mahogany table in light pink bowls made of sweet white porcelain, they looked like clusters of elegant cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Gu nianzhi pointed to a dish in front of her with her chopsticks, she smiled and said, “This is a piece of white searing conch plate. It looks so small, it only takes a few seconds to sear it into a plate, but the soup inside will take a few days to prepare.”

As she spoke, she picked it up with her chopsticks, and the plate of white searing conch plate was gone.

“Delicious!”She finished the plate with relish and said to the waiter at the door, “Eight more plates, one for each of you.”

“Yes, Ma’am,”the waiter at the door said politely. In the blink of an eye, eight more plates of white searing conch plates were served.

After everyone had finished eating, Gu nianzhi recommended the crispy pork ginseng.

She smiled and said, “The year of the pig is coming. Anything with the word ‘pig’is auspicious. Everyone, try it. This is seasoned with abalone soup. Although it’s small and can be eaten in one bite, the aftertaste is endless. It’s only worth it with two words!”

Under her guidance, the crispy pork ginseng was also served on eight plates and placed in front of everyone.

Zhang Baochen ate the taste was indeed not bad. He had eaten a lot of good things, but he had never eaten such delicious seafood. It was as if it had just been fished out from the sea. Even the unique fishy smell of seafood was cleverly neutralized by the seasoning, it became a foil to the delicious taste.

He sighed. “This dish is really good, but the quantity is too small.”

“Even in a five-star hotel, the amount of food on a plate is four or five times more than here!”

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. “The amount of food is four or five times more. You’re eating at a food stall, right?”

Zhang Baochen was so angry that his eyebrows were twitching.

Grandfather Huo obviously couldn’t bear to see his beloved youngest son get insulted. He frowned and said, “Shaoheng, who cares about your fiancée? How can you talk to your elders? No matter what, Baochen is still her uncle!”

Huo Shaoheng smiled. He picked up a tissue and slowly wiped the peanut powder from Gu Nianzhi’s mouth. He said, “My father is my youngest son. Where did I get an uncle?”

This was to show that he didn’t acknowledge grandfather Huo’s illegitimate son, Zhang Baochen.

If he didn’t acknowledge him, then Gu Nianzhi had nothing to do with it.

Lu Yuan picked up a piece of lion head goose liver for song jinning with his chopsticks and said gently,”… he’s not an elder, but a guest. Nianzhi, don’t be mischievous.”

This was Lu Yuan denying Zhang Baochen’s status.

Zhang Baochen was furious.

It was fine if Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng didn’t acknowledge him, but who the hell was Lu Yuan? !

The only relationship he had with the Huo family was that he had married Huo Guanchen’s unwanted wife!

Zhang Baochen’s face darkened. He tightened his grip on his chopsticks and said, “Mr. Lu, is it? What does your relationship with the Huo family have to do with anything? We’re arguing amongst ourselves, what right does an outsider have to butt in?”

Gu Nianzhi and song jinning looked up at Zhang Baochen in shock.

Even Huo Guanchen, who had been silent the whole time, looked up at him and said unhappily, “Eat your food. You can’t interfere in the Huo family’s matters.”

Zhang Baochen had thought that Huo Guanchen had accepted him long ago, but he had not expected that he would not give him face in front of outsiders. He could not bring himself to do so, suddenly, he stood up and said, “Father, I’m not feeling well. I want to go home first. Please come back with me!”

Grandfather Huo Knew Lu Yuan’s identity. He also knew that Lu Yuan did not want to acknowledge him because of his mother, Xie Ziyan. He did not even want the Huo surname anymore.

However, he could not reveal Lu Yuan’s identity. Moreover, Lu Yuan had always been his favorite and proudest son. He was also very uncomfortable when Zhang Baochen said that.

Seeing that Zhang Baochen was going to leave, he did not stop him at all. He said with a straight face, “If you want to leave, you go first. I still have to finish my meal.”

It was not easy for him to have the chance to sit with his eldest son whom he had not seen for eighteen years. He would not leave immediately.

Zhang Baochen did not expect that grandfather Huo would not give him face. His heart sank.

He could not rely on grandfather Huo’s little father-son relationship. If grandfather Huo did not like him, then what was he?

He looked around and had no choice but to sit down dejectedly. He forced a smile and said, “Father, since you want to stay, then I’ll talk to you.”

Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed with her victory. She ran her hands through her hair, shook her head, and winked at Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng had been looking at Gu Nianzhi with a smile. Seeing that she was getting happier and happier, he couldn’t help stroking her head.

Just as he put his hand on her head, his expression suddenly changed.

Although this slight change in expression was very subtle, it didn’t escape the eyes of someone who had been observing him and Gu Nianzhi.

Huo Shaoheng’s hand paused for a moment, then turned Gu Nianzhi’s head and said, “Don’t move.”

“What’s Wrong?”Yuan Jianan asked curiously, “Is Miss Gu’s hair in a mess? Do you need to take care of it again?”

“It’s nothing,”Huo Shaoheng replied coldly. He then carefully removed a black ball the size of a grain of rice from Gu Nianzhi’s hair.

The black ball was similar to the luster of her hair. It was smooth on one side and rough on the other. It was just enough to hang on her hair.

If one did not look closely, they would not be able to see it at all.

“What is this? I hate it so much. Throw it away.”Gu Nianzhi pushed Huo Shaoheng’s hand away disapprovingly.

Huo Shaoheng opened his palm, and a small black grain of rice appeared in front of everyone.

He laughed coldly and said,”… A Bug. Someone actually put a bug on you!”

Gu Nianzhi’s face instantly paled. “How is that possible? ! Didn’t I check everything when I went out? !”

She looked around. “Even this place has been checked! There are no bugs or pinhole cameras!”

Lu Yuan poked his head out to look at the item in Huo Shaoheng’s hand and asked curiously, “How do you know this is a bug?”

“Director Lu, you don’t know what Huo Shao does? If he doesn’t know, then no one else will.”Gu Nianzhi said proudly, but then she was very confused. “Who Wants to eavesdrop? When did you install it on me? I don’t know anything about it!”

“The Committee of State Security (KGB) is a professional eavesdropping device. You Can’t buy it outside.”Huo Shaoheng’s expression became colder and colder. “Men, find out where it came from.”

Soon, Yin Shixiong ran in with a straight face. “Chief!”

Huo Shaoheng handed the black rice eavesdropping device to him. “Go and find out! who put it in Nianzhi’s hair? !”

He then reprimanded Yin Shixiong. “How did you do your security? ! We’re eating here, General Huo, Ms. Song, and chief Gu. Which one of them isn’t important? You just let random people in?”

“Go back and write your own self-reflection and hand it over to Zhao liangze to file.”

Gu Nianzhi suddenly grabbed Huo Shaoheng’s arm and said nervously, “I remember now!”

“Huh? Do you know who did it?”Yuan Jianan sounded a little nervous. “Don’t tell me we have the committee of State Security (KGB) here? !”

“I don’t know if he’s the KGB or not, but this bug must have been placed in my hair by that person!”Gu Nianzhi said excitedly. The Committee of State Security (KGB) was the most important member of the Committee of State Security, “It’s the Eastern European man I almost bumped into at the door when I went to the bathroom just now!”
