Gu Nianzhi quickly weighed her options. According to her understanding of Huo Shaoheng, the moment she started to hesitate, an alarm would ring in his mind. “I’ve discovered that the founder of this Ishihara Corporation is Ishihara Shiro. He was the comrade of Gu Yanran’s maternal great grandfather in the Japanese army,” Gu Nianzhi said humbly. “And the Ishihara Corporation has already been in our country for over a decade…”

Huo Shaoheng stopped in his tracks and wasn’t tricked by Gu Nianzhi this time around. Using a tone that was calm but irresistibly stern, he asked, “How would you think to look into the Ishihara Corporation?”

This would be a long story. Gu Nianzhi raised her head to look at the ceiling and said after a while, “There is a new Japanese transfer student in our faculty, and his name is Ishihara Taro.”

“Just because he is called Ishihara Taro, you wanted to look into the Ishihara Corporation?” Huo Shaoheng asked calmly, but there was a strong sense of firmness in that calmness. “Nianzhi, when did you learn to not tell me the whole truth when you talk to me?”

Gu Nianzhi was speechless. She pursed her lips and stammered, “He harassed Qiqi…” This excuse seemed rather reasonable.

Huo Shaoheng couldn’t think of a reason to retort just like that. He took out a cigarette from his pocket. Folding his arms, Huo Shaoheng took out the lighter that Gu Nianzhi had given him and lit the cigarette. Taking a deep puff, he released a ring of white smoke, and it spread out into the coldness of the night.

“Just like that?” Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes and looked towards the empty training grounds. He found a metal seat and sat down, leaning forward and resting his arms on his knees. Holding onto his cigarette, his brows furrowed slightly. This lady was truly getting out of hand. Huo Shaoheng took another puff of his cigarette.

Seeing that Gu Nianzhi did not reply after a long while, Huo Shaoheng didn’t probe, either. “I will get Big Xiong to check tomorrow. Have an early night.” With that, he hung up. It was quick and decisive, as if he didn’t miss her.

Gu Nianzhi pouted and threw her phone aside, feeling slightly unhappy. Then, she covered her head with her quilt and engulfed herself in darkness. Although she didn’t feel good, she had been up the entire day, feeling tense. Finally, she managed to hand her worries to Huo Shaoheng. Therefore, she was only unhappy for a while before falling asleep.

Huo Shaoheng did not sleep the entire night. The moment he returned to the office, he turned on his computer and looked into the Ishihara Corporation personally. Gu Nianzhi could only enter the extranet, but Huo Shaoheng could enter the intranet. However, after looking through the entire intranet, although there was a lot of information about the Ishihara Corporation, there was no information regarding the Kasaharas.

Under such circumstances, there would usually be two reasons for this. First, both of the families really had no connection to each other. Second would be that they had a close connection but did not want anyone else to know, and therefore, they had intentionally hidden it.

If it was the former, then there would not be much to check. However, if it was the latter, then there would be a lot of hidden meaning. Huo Shaoheng pondered it for a while then instructed Yin Shixiong to send an order to the soldiers that were based in Japan, getting them to look into the Ishihara Corporation when they were available.

Since it was a mission that was considered to be overseas, the Special Forces had all the authority they required to achieve their aim and didn’t care about what methods they used, as long as they didn’t harm the people around them. They had even more authority in Japan than any other countries as well. Of course, this was historically understandable, as it was closely related to how apologetic the Japanese were after the war.

Since you did not feel that you were in the wrong at the time, then there was a high probability that you would be doing it all over again. Therefore, being one of the biggest victims during the war then, the Hua Xia Empire was extremely wary of war breaking out again. This attitude was logical and legal.

Huo Shaoheng was lenient with the soldiers who were based in Japan. He had never restricted them regarding the means they could use to obtain information. Due to this leniency, the Special Forces based in Japan could usually get much more information in a much shorter time. In less than two days, there was an extremely large amount of information about the Ishihara Corporation that was highly confidential sent over by the Northern Communication Satellite after being encrypted securely.

Yin Shixiong brought the highly confidential information to Huo Shaoheng. As he looked through it, he understood immediately that Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to look into the Ishihara Corporation just because Ishihara Taro “harassed” Ma Qiqi.

“Mr. Huo, how did you know that the eldest son of the Ishihara Corporation’s founder, Ishihara Baisan, was Gu Xiangwen’s classmate!?” Yin Shixiong was over the moon. “This could be a new lead for us!”

Due to the “Gu Xiangwen” that they had brought back being a fake, the mission that the army had given them was still active. They still had to find the real Gu Xiangwen. There was a lot of information that the soldiers of the Special Forces based in Japan had sent them that could not be found on the internet. Very clearly, there was a confidential system in the management of the Ishihara Corporation that was akin to the country’s highly confidential information. It could be concluded that they didn’t trust the internet. The information that was truly important would never be placed on the internet but would be kept on paper.

“Ishihara Shiro was the founder of Ishihara Corporation. Ishihara Wakashi is the son of Ishihara Shiro. He is currently in our country. Ishihara Baisan is the son of Ishihara Wakashi and was a genius in Japan that time. Along with Gu Xiangwen, the Chinese genius, they were both learning from the most well-known physicist in America. Ishihara Shiro was Ishihara Baisan’s son and was also known as a genius from the time he was young.” Yin Shixiong had read this information countless times and had already memorized all of it.

“Therefore, this genius, Ishihara Baisan, was also the only heir to take over the entire Ishihara Corporation. So why did he commit suicide?” Yin Shixiong was extremely curious about this.

Huo Shaoheng felt that Yin Shixiong’s words were contributing too much to the noise level. Glancing at him, he said, “Ishihara Taro is now studying law at B University. I heard that he is interested in Qiqi.”

Yin Shixiong’s proud expression fell instantaneously. He slammed the table with one hand. “Screw him! A**hole wants to snatch my woman away?! Does he still want his life?!”

“Take note of your image and behavior.” Huo Shaoheng continued flipping through the information on his table. “Ishihara Taro is an international ally.”

“Bullsh*t!” Yin Shixiong was already seeing red. “As long as I am a man, I will not be able to take it! Mr. Huo, how did you know that Ishihara Taro is interested in Qiqi?! Nianzhi is definitely prettier and smarter than Qiqi, so why is he interested in Qiqi instead of Nianzhi? Why must he look for my Qiqi?! Is he blind?!”

Huo Shaoheng glanced at him and lowered his voice. “Are you trying to say that you’re blind? If Qiqi heard you say that and didn’t break up with you, I would lose a bet.”

Yin Shixiong was speechless. He immediately realized that he had said something wrong and almost knelt down in front of Huo Shaoheng. “Mr. Huo! Sir! You cannot treat your loyal subordinate like this!”

Huo Shaoheng ignored him and flipped to another page of the information on his desk. There was no other sound except for the flipping of pages. Yin Shixiong bore with it for a long time before saying, “Mr. Huo, I love Qiqi. To me, in my eyes, of course she would be better than anyone else, including Nianzhi. However, objectively, when Qiqi and Nianzhi are standing side by side, people would definitely notice Nianzhi first and not Qiqi. Therefore, if there was anyone who still noticed Qiqi first in such cases, it would never be love at first sight. It would be that the person wanted something bad to befall her. No matter which situation it may be, he should be wiped off the surface of the earth!”

“Good. You are firm. I’m glad that you’re my subordinate.” Huo Shaoheng raised his eyes and looked at Yin Shixiong calmly. “Okay, stand up. Seeing you like that, shouldn’t you be typing your application of marriage?”
