Hello, Mr. Major General Chapter 1468 - Home

Chapter 1468: Home

“Pirates?! Why are there pirates here?!” Gu Nianzhi was shocked. She stopped struggling and pulled Qin Zhining’s hand away. She spat lightly.

Qin Zhining was also very surprised. His eyes were so wide that they were even bigger than Gu Nianzhi’s. “The Caribbean Sea is full of pirates. Don’t you know?!”

He continued, “The neighboring countries here only care about protecting themselves and don’t care about pirates. That’s why they’re especially fearless.”

“No way? Isn’t the United States very powerful? Isn’t the Caribbean Sea considered the backyard of the United States?” Gu Nianzhi was even more confused. She had been to the Caribbean Sea several times before, so why hadn’t she heard that there were pirates everywhere?

If there were so many pirates, the famous Caribbean cruise line wouldn’t be open anymore.

Qin Zhining sighed softly and said in a low voice, “… It’s because the United States is powerful and they don’t allow people to suppress the pirates, so no one will dare to do so.”

Gu Nianzhi, “…”

“I didn’t expect such a fortunate thing to happen after you accidentally burnt down the kitchen. We don’t have to be trapped here anymore.” Qin Zhining saw Gu Nianzhi’s unperturbed expression and quickly complimented her.

Gu Nianzhi looked at him as if he was an idiot. She thought to herself, I burnt down the kitchen firstly to get rid of a “kidnapper” like you, secondly to burn all the snakes in the small forest while I’m at it, and thirdly to send a message.

In the vast sea, of course this black smoke that rose into the sky was the most eye-catching.

How was this killing three birds with one stone possible if it was “unintentional”?!

Opportunity only favored those who were prepared.

Gu Nianzhi had always boasted of her good luck because if she was unlucky, she would create her own “good luck”!

However, attracting the pirates over instead of helpers was not calculated.

That was because she had no idea there were so many pirates here.

Qin Zhining saw Gu Nianzhi looking at him fixedly. Her big eyes were as clear as black jade, and when she looked at him, it was as if she was affectionate towards him, making him feel very comfortable.

Qin Zhining was about to be modest and ask Gu Nianzhi not to look at him with so much “reverence” when Gu Nianzhi leaned into his ear and said in a low voice, “Are you stupid? Why do you need to s.n.a.t.c.h the boat? You just need to get two phones that can be used.”

Qin Zhining, “…”

“As long as we have a fully charged phone, we’ll be home in no time,” Gu Nianzhi patted Qin Zhining on the shoulder and said encouragingly, “Go, I want an iPhone. Are you going to use an android?”

Just like that, the Qin-“Phone Thief”-Ning was born.

When Gu Nianzhi pushed him out, Qin Zhining was still in a daze.

That’s right, why didn’t he think of just stealing phones?!

Compared to single-handedly killing all the pirates and then taking the s.h.i.+p and driving himself into the vast sea, s.n.a.t.c.hing a phone and immediately contacting home was the right way to go!

Why didn’t he think of such a simple and easily used method?!

He mentally added another impression of Gu Nianzhi to his heart: not only was she lucky, she was also smart…

Gu Nianzhi hid in the bushes by the stream and watched as Qin Zhining retrieved a s.h.i.+ny pistol and held it in his hand. Like a monkey, he climbed up a coconut tree by the side of the road.

The corners of Gu Nianzhi’s mouth twitched twice.

This guy really had a gun…

Even with a gun, he didn’t fight back and allowed her to chase him around with a stick for such a long time.

Was he really someone she knew when she was young?

This degree of care and patience that stemmed from kins.h.i.+p seemed impossible to fake.

Gu Nianzhi’s thoughts ran wild. She lay on the ground motionless and held her breath as she watched the black pirates slowly approach the burning holiday cabin with carbines in their hands.

They spoke in a local dialect that sounded like frogs croaking.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t understand, but she saw a pirate take out a cell phone from his trousers pocket and twirl it around in his hand in a particularly flashy manner. He moved it close to his ear and was making a phone call!

Facing the morning sun of the Caribbean, the black man even deliberately revealed the logo on the back of his phone.

On the back of the silver phone was an apple that was bitten into!

What a familiar image!

What a familiar pose!

It was said that the capitalists of Upper East Side New York who liked to use iPhones all showed off like this when they were making calls outside.

She didn’t expect this dark Caribbean pirate to know how to flaunt an iPhone.

As an “Internet child”, Gu Nianzhi almost teared up when she saw the iPhone, as if she had just seen her family.

She couldn’t help gesturing to Qin Zhining.

What are you waiting for?!

Get it!

Qin Zhining glanced at the pirates on the ground from the tree.

There were three of them in total, and they were quite methodical. They walked over vigilantly in a zigzag pattern.

It wouldn’t be difficult for him to take down these three people. All he had to do was grab their phones and lure the rest of the people on the s.h.i.+p to the snake forest.

Qin Zhining had a special snake repellent on him. This was the equipment that special forces soldiers always brought with them when they went out on missions. It was kept in his car all year round.

Although he had not expected to be thrown into this G.o.dforsaken place, this good habit of bringing equipment on any mission had saved his life.

Qin Zhining smiled and made an OK gesture to Gu Nianzhi. He held the gun in one hand and put on a special pair of sungla.s.ses with the other. He instantly looked cool and handsome.

It was a pair of smart sungla.s.ses. It was connected to his pistol and had a long-range infrared targeting function.

The range he could see from the crosshair reticle of the sungla.s.ses was the range of the pistol’s aim.

Narrowing his eyes, the three pirates’ hearts alternately appeared in his crosshair.

Qin Zhining immediately pulled the trigger when the pirate on the iPhone hung up.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The pistol with a silencer fired three shots.

The three pirates fell to the ground almost without making a sound.

Gu Nianzhi quickly rushed out of her hiding place and picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground. It was the latest model!

Moreover, Qin Zhining had timed his shot perfectly. The pirate had just hung up the phone, but before he could turn it off, Qin Zhining had already fired a shot.

When Gu Nianzhi picked up the phone, the screen was still unlocked!

She quickly tapped on the dial pad and dialed Huo Shaoheng’s number!

However, just as she entered the number, she was informed by a text message from the mobile operator that the pirate’s phone had not activated international roaming!

Gu Nianzhi was so angry that she kicked the pirate several times. “What are you using your phone for if you’re not connected to international roaming?! What a waste of G.o.d’s gift!”

She couldn’t access the internet either, because the pirate’s data plan had already been used up.

She held a phone that was fully charged, but it was useless except for making local calls.

Gu Nianzhi felt like she was about to be depressed.

When Qin Zhining jumped down from the tree and ran over, Gu Nianzhi was clutching the phone and about to cry.

The corners of Qin Zhining’s mouth twitched as he searched the bodies of the other two pirates.

The other two pirates had phones on them — an iPhone and an android.

The iPhone was not the latest model, so there was no facial recognition security.

Qin Zhining quickly grabbed the dead pirate’s hand and pressed his thumb on the unlock b.u.t.ton on the iPhone.

The iPhone immediately turned on.

Gu Nianzhi stood to the side and watched him unlock it. She sneered, “What’s the point of unlocking it? Their phones can’t make international calls! Even the data plan is the cheapest one!”

Indeed anything can go wrong!

Qin Zhining smiled and glanced at her. He entered a few pa.s.swords on his phone and calmly connected to the satellite system. He quickly got in touch with his home.

“Yes, we’re in the Caribbean, on Snake Island. I’ll send you the location.”

The person on the other end of the line seemed shocked and pleasantly surprised. He called out cheerfully, asking him how he was and if he had received the person.

Qin Zhining smiled and said, “Yes, I have. She’s a troublemaker. We’ll talk later.”

He hung up the phone and said to Gu Nianzhi, “Okay, just wait. A helicopter will come to pick us up in an hour.”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat. “How did you make that call? Why can’t I call?!”

Qin Zhining smiled faintly. “Your phone doesn’t work, but mine does.”

“Really? Can you lend me your phone?” Gu Nianzhi was very interested in Qin Zhining’s phone.

Could it be that the two pirates were not using the same phone plan?

That one could make international calls, but not mine?

Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes, clasped her hands behind her back, and moved to Qin Zhining’s side. She called out sweetly, “Brother Little Ning, can you lend me your phone please?”

Qin Zhining was shocked. He looked at Gu Nianzhi in surprise and said,”… Have you remembered everything?”

“Remember what?” Gu Nianzhi was confused. “I’m just borrowing your phone for a while.”

“You called me Brother Little Ning! You’ve been calling me that since we were kids!” Qin Zhining held Gu Nianzhi’s hand excitedly.

Gu Nianzhi replied, “???”

It was purely a coincidence!

She had grown up with Huo Shaoheng in the military camp and called everyone “Brother Little X”and “Brother Big X”. They had become her catchphrases, so how could Qin Zhining “miss” them?

That was what she called Brother Big Xiong and Brother Little Ze.

However, seeing how excited Qin Zhining was and how affectionate he was towards her, Gu Nianzhi wanted to get some information about her childhood from him. Thus, she said ambiguously, “Really? I was just hot-headed just now. I seemed to have thought of something, but it was vague and not very clear, so in the heat of the moment I called you Brother Little Ning…”

Qin Zhining patted Gu Nianzhi on the shoulder. “Okay, okay. As long as your memory is restored, we don’t have to be in such a difficult situation. Nianzhi, come home with me.”

Gu Nianzhi blinked and continued to work hard. “Brother Little Ning, can you lend me your phone?”

Qin Zhining was now unguarded towards her and smiled as he put the phone in her hand. “Sure.”

Gu Nianzhi grabbed it and quickly opened the dial to call Huo Shaoheng’s number.

However, just like the phone she had just used, this phone was still unable to roam internationally. She tried to use the internet for a while, but was also unable to go online.

If Qin Zhining was able to use it to make a call, then he must have used another software system.

Gu Nianzhi had an idea and grabbed Qin Zhining’s arm affectionately as they walked towards the little forest. She asked, “Brother Little Ning, how did you make the call? Can you teach me?”

Although Qin Zhining was much nicer to her, he wouldn’t fall for her trick.

“Teach you? Teach you what?” Qin Zhining pretended to be dumb. “Tell me who you want to call and I’ll do it for you.”

Of course, Gu Nianzhi wouldn’t tell her Huo Shaoheng’s number.

However, she could tell him Qiqi’s number.

She immediately gave him Ma Qiqi’s number and said, “This is my best friend. Can you call her for me and tell her not to worry? Just say that I was bored and came to the Caribbean for a vacation.”

Qin Zhining narrowed his eyes and smiled at her. He nodded and said, “… In your eyes, am I a complete idiot? There’s no way I will notify anyone of your whereabouts!”

Gu Nianzhi begged for a long time, but Qin Zhining stopped paying attention to her completely.

Later, he found her annoying and hit her on the back of the neck, knocking her out.

…

When Gu Nianzhi woke up again, she was already sitting in a limousine.

She slowly woke up from the back seat and looked around herself blankly.

Qin Zhining was still wearing his black uniform. He was sitting next to her and texting on his phone.

The corners of his mouth curled up from time to time, and a sweet smile appeared on his face.

Gu Nianzhi felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly sat up against the window and asked cautiously, “Where is this place? Qin Zhining, where are you taking me?”

Seeing that she had woken up, Qin Zhining quickly ended his text, “… I love you.”

He put away his phone and looked at Gu Nianzhi from the corner of his eyes. “You’re awake?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Yeah I’m not awake; I’m talking in my sleep!” Gu Nianzhi frowned, feeling very uneasy. “What is this place? Where are you taking me?”

There were thick black curtains hanging from the car window, so she couldn’t see what was outside.

A row of fenders rose high in front of her, so she couldn’t see who was in the driver’s seat or the pa.s.senger seat in front.

Qin Zhining hugged his head with his hands, leaned back against the car seat, and crossed his legs, smiled and said, “Thanks to you burning the kitchen, we attracted the pirates, found some phones, and our family sent a helicopter to pick us up from the island. We are now in the Huaxia Empire.”

“That fast?!” Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened. “Even if we took a plane from America, it would still take 12 hours! Did I already sleep for 12 hours?!”

She quickly looked at her watch.

It turned out that she had slept for more than 12 hours this time. She had slept for 20 hours.

However, hearing that she had already returned to the Huaxia Empire, she breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she was in the country, she was not afraid of these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!

Qin Zhining looked at her watch and complimented, “This watch is not bad. It’s a very unique design.”

Gu Nianzhi raised her chin. “This is a custom-made couple’s watch that my fiancé made for me. Of course it looks good.”

“Did my cousin buy it for you?” Qin Zhining heard Gu Nianzhi say “Fiancé,” and instinctively a.s.sumed that it was He Zhichu.

Gu Nianzhi was puzzled. “I said it was my fiancé. Didn’t you hear me?”

“I know. Isn’t your fiancé my cousin?” Qin Zhining was also confused. He thought that this girl was sometimes smart and sometimes dumb.

Gu Nianzhi’s heart trembled. “Major General Huo is your cousin?!”

How had she never known that Huo Shaoheng had a cousin with the surname Qin?!

Could it be that Huo Shaoheng had ordered him to kidnap her?!

No!

This was too cruel…

Gu Nianzhi was screaming in her heart.

Fortunately, Qin Zhining added, “My cousin is He Zhichu. What are you thinking?!”

“Professor He?!” Gu Nianzhi was even more dumbfounded. “How could it be Professor He?! Did he instruct you to kidnap me?!”

Could it be that Professor He had instigated her kidnapping?!

Looking at Gu Nianzhi’s shocked expression, Qin Zhining chuckled. “Of course not. My cousin doesn’t know anything yet. – Aren’t you surprised? Aren’t you elated?!”

F*ck your surprise!

F*ck your elation!

Gu Nianzhi was on the verge of exploding.

But before she could lose her temper, the car stopped.

Someone came over to open the car door and said respectfully, “Young Master Qin, we’re here.”

“Okay.” Qin Zhining stopped smiling and tidied up his clothes before pulling Gu Nianzhi out of the car.

Gu Nianzhi stumbled out of the car and looked around.

She wasn’t familiar with this city, but it was lined with tall buildings. The city was clean and tidy, and there were all kinds of luxury cars on the road. The pedestrians were all dressed in expensive clothes, and it was obvious that it was a bustling metropolis.

It seemed to be in the evening, and the sun had already set. Tall kapok trees were planted on both sides of the wide and smooth streets.

There was a restaurant right in front of them, with the words “Qin Ji” written on it.

It was a very high-end European-style small building. There was a large green lawn in front of the building, showing off its high status and luxury where every inch of land was valuable in this bustling urban area.

A few maids stood in front of the carved iron gate, wearing white clothes and black pants that were only seen in old movies. They bowed to them in unison.

These people spoke in a dialect, and Gu Nianzhi understood her circ.u.mstance as soon as they spoke.

This was City Z, Brother Xiong’s hometown, and the largest city in the southern part of the Huaxia Empire.

She instantly calmed down.

As long as she knew where she had arrived, she would be able to find a way back.
