Chapter 1

On the third day after being transferred home from the border area, Gu Huaiyu just turned 20 years old.

The weather was perfect that morning. In early summer, the roses planted in the corner had just bloomed and were fiery red.

He woke up from the chaotic dream, and a piece of bright red suddenly crashed into his eyes.The night before was full of preoccupations, and he barely fell asleep. At this moment, Gu Huaiyu curled up in the quilt and moved. The soft velvet pillow made his body, which is used to sleeping on the cold and hard camp bed, feel unsteady as if he was falling into the void.

A ray of sunlight came in and stretched across the eyes, like a layer of misty gauze.He opened his eyes and adjusted for a few seconds, looked at the gorgeous red outside the window, and read an instruction.

Immediately, two warning messages about tampering with permissions were projected on the screen.

Technology use has been tightened across the board since the insurgency broke out decades ago.Even an insignificant technology such as global communication is not something that an ordinary officer can use at will.

Fortunately, Gu Huaiyu was not just an ordinary officer.Although his father has passed away, his elder brother Gu Huaipei has just replaced his father as a major general recently, which is enough to maintain the family's position in the Congress.

Under Gu Huaipei's favor, Gu Huaiyu became the central figure in the social arena for the first time in his life during the few days he returned home.

Sitting up straight, the subtle discomfort of the alcohol reminded him of the party he was halfway through last night, and what happened after.The young man's upper body was bare, his brown eyes were heavy, and he was completely awake.

He touched the tiny spike-shaped device behind his ear, entered the password in a low voice, and once again exceeded his authority to enter the internal affairs special information interface.

Business as usual.

Gu Huaiyu glanced up and down, reaching out to grab the shirt that was randomly thrown at the end of the bed last night.

There was a little blood and dust on the shirt, he sniffed the blood, indulged in the secret smell a little bit shyly, and even buried his whole face in it.

The snow-white cloth shrouded like a cloud of dense mist, and Gu Huaiyu heard the sound of the IV warning signal in the haze, followed by a cadenced female voice.

"It is reported that a person surnamed Fu who is being interrogated by the Supreme Bureau of Investigation has disappeared a few hours ago. People familiar with the matter pointed out that he has something to do with the embezzlement case..."

The smile on the corner of Gu Huaiyu's mouth disappeared immediately, and he removed the shirt covering his face as fast as lightning, stretched his body, and stared at the scrolling words.

Suddenly, a blurry photo of the arrest was released on the projection screen. A young man with a slender back was escorted into the gate of the Supreme Bureau of Investigation calmly.

Without batting an eyelid, Gu Huaiyu picked up the formal suit that was prepared by the side and hurriedly put it on, turned over and got out of bed, buttoning up the straight clothes in an instant.

As he went downstairs, he initiated a communication request to the private number belonging to Friedzer.

The carpet was all over the stairs, and the sound of Gu Huaiyu stepping on it was very dull, every step pressed firmly on his own heart.

"The signal is beyond the range of China Unicom."

Because the Gu family was very quiet, there were not many servants in the villa, so when he saw Gu Huaiyu, he just moved slightly to make way.

"The signal is beyond the range of China Unicom."

The mechanical sound rang again, Gu Huaiyu walked into the kitchen, boiled two poached eggs expressionlessly, and whispered an instruction to cut off the communication.

The projection screen in front of me is still scrolling, "A few days ago, this person was arrested on suspicion of multiple murders of important officials and embezzlement of huge R&D funds. Some R&D executives pointed out..."

"The signal is beyond the range of China Unicom."

Gu Huaiyu clumsily scooped up two poached eggs from the pot with a spoon. After practicing many times, he finally cooked them completely.His fingers were burning red and he didn't make a sound, as if he was determined to make everything perfect, finely ground the black pepper that the man liked, and went to pour milk and coffee.

Waiting to bring these meaningless things to the table and watch the minute hand cross the agreed latest time.He leaned against the edge of the sofa and initiated another call request.

This time the connection was very fast, and the other party greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Prison Department of the Supreme Investigation Bureau."

Gu Huaiyu used Gu Huaipei's authority again without authorization, but for some reason he pretended not to be careful, "Is Mr. Fu released on bail?"

The other end was taken aback, as if he didn't quite believe that the owner who held the right to communicate was so ill-informed, he hesitated, "Are you asking Mr. Fritz..."

Gu Huaiyu looked at the real landscape outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, waiting for an answer without saying a word.

"Mr. Fritz escaped at 35:[-] this morning. The tracking signal disappeared in no-man's land two hours ago."

The restaurant of the villa is facing the lush green plants of the old house. The butler is instructing the servants to trim the camphor tree that leans out from the courtyard. Plant the tree.

"Dang--"

There was a crisp sound of metal and porcelain plates colliding.

Gu Huaiyu cut the table knife in his hand lightly, a poached egg quickly fell apart, and a few drops of egg yolk splashed onto him.

The little servant outside the window fell down almost at the same time, the housekeeper scolded in a low voice, and then glanced briefly at the people in the room.

"Thank you." After a while, Gu Huaiyu pushed the plate and said politely.His eyes were blank and blank, and it took him a moment to throw away his napkin, stand up, put the fork back on the gilt china plate, and stride upstairs to change.After putting on the dark green stand-up collar military uniform, he hurried downstairs and drove to the base.

The news of Friedrich's escape should have reached Gu Huaipei long ago, and he was no less devastated than him, so he probably didn't have the heart to take care of him.

Gu Huaiyu returned to the base to get the latest identification system shielding device and weapons, then restarted the car and drove straight to the nearest northern transmission station.

Leaving the core area where the aristocrats live, the streetscape is completely out of the question of prosperity.The cities under the empire are always lively, but they are like rivers that have been drained, revealing a large area of ​​devastated riverbed.

The vicinity of the transmission station is a restricted area, and the land is similar to the no-man's land outside the blockade, all of which are intertwined with taupe and tan.

Gu Huaiyu tore off the half-covered face towel as the wind mixed with the smell of mud blew past, and spit out a mouthful of dusty saliva outside the car.

The transmission station is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are very few ordinary civilians entering and leaving the border.Gu Huaiyu changed into another outfit, followed a survey team, and calmly passed the border inspection.

The survey team didn't even carry much defensive weapons, they clearly belonged to a research organization with their protected badges on their bodies.

Gu Huaiyu lowered his head and silently mingled at the end of the line, passing through the transmission station smoothly.

There was a stabbing pain behind his ear, and he didn't need to open it to know that the matter of releasing Friedrich on bail beyond his authority had been exposed, and someone had come to Xingshi to question him.

Too much debt doesn't weigh you down.Gu Huaiyu raised his hand to look at his watch, and neatly took off the small communicator and threw it to the side of the road.

In fact, defecting to no-man's land is nothing new, but that is mostly the choice of some thugs.It is rare to have anything to do with a person with a bright future like Friedrich.

Fu Lize's deceased father was old General Gu's good friend, but he left early, and the family's momentum naturally declined.Under the shelter of the Gu family, he grew from a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy to a rising star in politics and business. In the eyes of outsiders, he is equivalent to half of the Gu family.

The youngest of the Gu family is very popular now, and Friedrich, who has always been inseparable from him, should have just waited for the sky to rise.

Who would have thought that Friedrich would be involved in such a mess of murder and embezzlement right now.

But these concerns are indifferent.

It didn't matter why Friedrich escaped, or why he was arrested.

He only cared about what Frize said in the communicator last night before he asked him to go to the Supreme Bureau of Investigation.

"After you let me out...have a meal together tomorrow?"

"By the way, Xiaoyu, happy birthday."
