Chapter 264: The Price of Being With Him

"Because of her real crime, when it comes to the secret military court, it should be illegally obtaining secret military information, illegally carrying secret military information abroad, and large-scale leaking of secrets, which will adversely affect our people at any time." Huo Shaoheng sighed, "Read In short, in this matter, I actually made a mistake.”

"Ah?" Although Gu Nianzhi was smart, she still didn't know much about Huo Shaoheng's work, so she didn't turn the corner for a while, "How could you make a mistake?! Impossible!"

Huo Shaoheng hooked the corners of his lips, "I am also human, of course I will make mistakes."

He cupped Gu Nianzhi's face, "...I shouldn't have told you at all, these photos are prop photos for missions."

What he said was actually a leak to some extent.

"But I won't tell others!" Gu Nianzhi was anxious, "I swear! I..."

Huo Shaoheng covered her mouth with a very gentle voice: "Don't swear, I believe you."

Gu Nianzhi burst into tears after holding back for a long time. She threw herself into Huo Shaoheng's arms and hugged his neck tightly, just like when she was a child, crying unspeakably, tears flooded Huo Shaoheng's front soon .

Huo Shaoheng patted Gu Nianzhi on the back helplessly, "Don't cry, I said I believe in you."

"But you made me mentally prepare, I'm afraid..." Gu Nianzhi said with sobs, and arched his chest.

Huo Shaoheng took out a tissue from the bedside table, wiped Gu Nianzhi's tears, and woke up again, "Okay, just pretend you don't know about the photos, and you'll be fine if you stay with me these days. I'm going to tell you now It's the normal way to say something like this."

Gu Nianzhi let out a "huh" and obediently let Huo Shaoheng wipe her face, then looked at Huo Shaoheng with trusting eyes with a pair of bright black eyes that had been washed with water.

"In mind, these photos should not have been released, but in case they are released, such as what happened this time, according to the normal way of handling such things in our country, I can't even deny that I have a relationship with her " Huo Shaoheng said word by word, staring at Gu Nianzhi with deep eyes, not letting go of any of her expressions and eyes.

So what he meant was that he had to acquiesce to the relationship between the couple in the photo?

Sure enough, Gu Nianzhi couldn't take it anymore, his snow-white face turned red again from fright, and asked anxiously: "Why can't you deny it?! If it's not true! Why admit it? Do you really want to be threatened by them so despicably?"

"Because if you deny my relationship with her, it will inevitably make people think of another possibility." Huo Shaoheng stroked her long hair, "You think, even the clues that you can see, can't other countries' intelligence agencies see? Come out? Those people are the best of the best. The CIA of the United States and the MI5 of the United Kingdom all have huge agencies dedicated to dealing with our country."

"At that time, once people know that I am not in the relationship with her in the photo, what do you think they will associate?"

Gu Nianzhi's heart was twisted into a ball, "Let's think of... think of..." She found that she couldn't say it.

Huo Shaoheng sighed softly, and answered on her behalf: "They will immediately think that this is not a private act, but an official business. Then, the tasks we performed back then will be noticed and traced back to the source, and our people will be in in danger."

Huo Shaoheng has more patience with Gu Nianzhi than with others. He never explains his actions and intentions to others, but this time, he explained in detail and thoroughly.

Gu Nianzhi was originally clever, and with Huo Shaoheng explaining the cause and effect so plainly, she soon understood everything, and the starlight in her eyes gradually dimmed.

Gu Nianzhi couldn't hide his panic: "So, in terms of conventional handling methods, even if you can arrest and convict Dou Qingyan, you still can't disclose the truth about these photos. You can only assume that you and Dou Qingyan had a relationship. Romance, eh?"

She lowered her head, not daring to look into Huo Shaoheng's eyes again, "...So, let everyone think that you have moved on,

Much better than knowing the truth, isn't it? "

Gu Nianzhi acted by inference, and has already stated the follow-up results.

Huo Shaoheng glanced at her calmly, got up from the sofa, pushed open the French window door leading to the terrace from Gu Nianzhi's bedroom, and stood still on the terrace.

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, staring at the night in a trance for a long time.

He was also confessing. At that time, his first reaction when he saw these photos was not a possible leak, but worried that Gu Nianzhi would be unhappy...

At that moment, without even thinking about it, he immediately told her the truth, which had actually violated the secrecy law.

It turned out that her influence on him, her position in his heart, was much deeper than he thought.

Huo Shaoheng hung his head on the cold terrace, holding a cigarette in one hand and hugging his elbow in the other. The cigarette in his hand was almost burnt out, but he didn't take another puff.

He maintained this posture and remained silent for a long time.

Gu Nianzhi came out wearing a down jacket, and said softly to Huo Shaoheng: "Young Master Huo, you said you believed in me, and I will never mention it to others, don't worry."

No matter how sad she was, even if Dou Qingyan showed off her power in front of her again, she would keep her mouth shut.

Huo Shaoheng realized that Gu Nianzhi hadn't realized the seriousness of this matter, so he casually threw the cigarette in his hand into the trash can under the balcony, turned around and took Gu Nianzhi back to the bedroom.

As soon as the floor-to-ceiling windows were closed, the warm air rushed in, and Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but sneezed.

Huo Shaoheng did not let go, still holding Gu Nianzhi's shoulder, hesitated for a while, and then said cruelly: "Nianzhi, have you thought about it? If you want to be with me, this kind of thing may happen again in the future .It is even more embarrassing and even painful than this kind of thing. Even if you know the truth, you can't explain it, you can't refute it, and you can't even reveal it with a look.——Can you bear it?"

These misunderstandings, difficulties and embarrassments may be the price of being with someone like him.

He looked at her with extreme restraint and forbearance, quietly looking at her with deep and obscure eyes, waiting for her answer.

Gu Nianzhi just nodded and said softly, "I see."

Her reaction was too quick and her attitude was too light-hearted. For a moment, Huo Shaoheng didn't know whether Gu Nianzhi was aware of the seriousness of this matter.

After thinking for a while, Huo Shaoheng said again: "Actually, this kind of thing is nothing to those in our industry. Our seniors in the Special Operations Department have taken the bigger blame. Do you know how many of our colleagues are silent? Disappearing in foreign prisons without a trace? They die without national recognition.—because that's the way our business works."

And they are used to it.

It is a true dedication of the whole body and mind, not only has one's own life, but also has one's own reputation...

Gu Nianzhi was really stunned. She froze for a moment before expressing her strong objection: "No! No! How could this be?! All people who can enjoy a peaceful and happy life because of your selfless dedication should know your contribution! The names of those predecessors should not only be left in the secret files of your Special Operations Division! - I hope that one day, everyone in your Special Operations Division who has made special contributions to this country can appear in a public memorial Li! They should not be forgotten! They should not bear the infamy and crimes that they shouldn't have!"

Huo Shaoheng was suddenly very moved, he leaned over and hugged her, but he didn't know what to say.

The training he has received over the years is that no matter what kind of adversity he is in, he will not defend himself, nor will he reveal a secret.

Gu Nianzhi leaned back into Huo Shaoheng's arms, smiled, and said softly: "Okay, Huo Shao, I admit that I'm not that great. What I said just now was purely because of you."

She turned her head to look at him, and said categorically: "If one day, you encounter this situation, I will not give up, let alone agree to this conventional approach. I will not let anyone have any chance Destroy your reputation. I swear on my life that if you are gone, I will spend the rest of my life defending your reputation and everything you have to protect."

Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat heavily.

He never thought that Gu Nianzhi knew him so deeply.

He also never realized that there would be such a confession that could directly hit the depths of his heart, leaving him with no other choice but to surrender.
