Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but ask Reinz: "You look very rich, why do you let Hannah's mother live in a place like that alone?"
Reinz parked the car, turned to look at her, and said with a smile: "What kind of place do you live in? Do you think that place is not good?"
Gu Nianzhi curled his lips and said, "That place is too remote. There is no phone or Internet. How can we survive?"
Reinz was even more amused and said: "The Internet only appeared in the past 20 years, and you think you can't live without it? Are all the people from 20 years ago dead?"
This sounded so reasonable that Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
It was rare for her to be rendered speechless, and she felt a little unhappy for a moment, so she followed Reinz into his home without saying a word.
This house looks like a small castle from the outside. Unexpectedly, the decoration inside is quite modern.
French floor-to-ceiling glass lattice doors face the backyard. A snow-white corner leather sofa is placed against the wall of the living room. A geometric pattern carpet is spread in the center of the living room. The dark red cherry wood floor is exposed in the rest of the room.
A large grand piano is placed next to the French French glass lattice door.
The lights in the room are all recessed lights. Only a large paper lotus lantern hangs in the dining room. The petals are overlapping and the white light leaks out from the petals and is projected on the dining table.
Reinz led Gu Nianzhi up the stairs, "Your bedroom is on the second floor."
Gu Nianzhi followed him into the bedroom and found that this should be the master bedroom of the house.
The room has been rearranged, but it still has a Puritan-like neatness and cleanliness. It should be Reinz's previous room.
When he doesn't speak, he gives off the impression of a Puritan-like ascetic and cold wind.
Gu Nianzhi refused to stay in Reinz's bedroom and shook his head and said, "I'll stay in the guest room. This is the master bedroom. It's not suitable for me to live here."
Reinz lowered his eyes to look at her, with faint hope and expectation in his blue eyes. He was silent for a while and said: "Cereus, Als said, you have to be mine... Only immediate family members can live with me. I will protect you."
Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows, "...so what?"
He took out a small gold velvet box from his suit pocket and opened it. Inside was a pear-shaped diamond ring of at least three carats, cut at a perfect angle. As soon as he took it out, it was illuminated by the sunlight coming through the bedroom window. Gives off a faint iridescence.
This is a very good indication of diamond purity.
Gu Nianzhi took a step back, "Leinz, what are you doing?"
Reinz walked forward to her and took her hand. "Just to deceive Als, you can just do it for the time being and be my fiancée." As he said that, he took out the ring and said nothing. Put it on Gu Nianzhi's left middle finger.
This is an engagement ring, which means that the person already has an owner.
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly took off the ring and said, "Didn't you say it was a temporary measure? Why are you serious about it? I won't accompany you!"
Reinz stared at her and shook his head for a while, "Who told you that this is true?"
"Then this ring..." Gu Nianzhi spread her palms, and the crystal pear-shaped diamond ring almost blended into the white palm of her hand.
Reinz lowered his head indifferently and took the ring from her hand. His warm fingertips gently swept across Gu Nianzhi's palm. Gu Nianzhi didn't feel anything, but Reinz felt as if his fingers were about to lose weight as if he was electrocuted. Aware.
He put the ring on her again and said gently: "... It's just a prop."
Gu Nianzhi said "Oh" and looked at him suspiciously, but did not take it off.
Anyway, it was just a temporary measure. Once these people stopped paying so close attention to her, she could try to contact the country.
But having said that, when will Brother Nobita and the others come back from their mission
Where is Mr. Huo
And Professor He, he should be back from home now, right
Gu Nianzhi remembered that Professor He said that he would go back for at most two weeks.
Counting it now, it seems like just two weeks.
He Zhichu came home because of his father's condition. Gu Nianzhi had tried to call him but couldn't get through.
But his father should be fine now, right? Even if I need surgery, it should be done and back, right
Can she call him
But she doesn't even have a mobile phone now, so what should she call
At most, Professor He would be anxious if he found that her phone number was no longer in the service area, right
Thinking like this, Gu Nianzhi had an uneasy sleep on his first night at Reinz's house.
She seemed to be having a nightmare, but she didn't scream or cry. She was running and hiding calmly in the dark. Someone was chasing her behind her, following her like a shadow, and she could never escape or get rid of...
Later, she ran too fast, fell on the ground, and woke up.
After waking up and looking at the unfamiliar room, I immediately forgot what I had just dreamed about.
She raised her hand and looked at the watch on her hand. Seeing that it was only about four o'clock in the morning, she fell asleep again.
When she woke up again the next day, it was almost noon, and Reinz didn't call her and asked the cook to prepare lunch for her to get up and eat.
Gu Nianzhi sat at the dining table, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "Leinz, do you have an Internet connection at home? I'm bored. Can you let me use the Internet?"
Reinz opened a newspaper to read, shook his head and said, "No, I don't have a computer at home."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
"Isn't this too much? It's not like you can't access the Internet in prison!" Gu Nianzhi quit and threw away his knife and fork, "I might as well go to prison. You go to Als and say that I am willing to be imprisoned by him. Go to prison, as long as there is a net inside."
Reinz closed the newspaper, looked at her in confusion, and asked, "Is having the Internet so important to you? Do you want to kill time, or do you want to... take the opportunity to contact others? Don't take Als's words seriously. ."
Of course there are, but Gu Nianzhi would not admit the latter possibility.
She frowned and said, "Even if I contact others, wouldn't you know? There are secrets on the Internet. Would I be that stupid?"
Reinz thought for a while and smiled: "Then what do you want to read? I have a mobile phone and can access the Internet. I can read it to you."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
With a roll of her eyes, she sat down next to Reinz and said enthusiastically: "Leinz, have you tried this white sausage? It's delicious. It's the taste of Hannah's mother's home." As she spoke, she used a fork to fork it. He picked up a piece of white sausage and put it to Reinz's mouth.
Reinz had never been treated so well by Gu Nianzhi. Even though he knew she had other intentions, he couldn't help but open his mouth and eat all the white sausage she fed him.
Gu Nianzhi looked very happy and fed him several more mouthfuls of food. He also took bread and fed him bite by bite.
There was only bread and sausages, but Reinz was drunk after eating. His blue eyes were fixed on Gu Nianzhi's face, unable to look away for a moment.
Gu Nianzhi looked away uncomfortably and tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Hey, Reinz, can you lend me your mobile phone? I only read news online, especially the case I am responsible for. I told you, I'm a lawyer, I'm helping people with their lawsuits, and I can't give up halfway. I swore an oath to bring that bitch to justice!"
Reinz took out his cell phone, opened it, and said, "What lawsuit are you fighting? Can you find it online?"
After a moment of silence, he asked her again: "Is your real name Gu Nianzhi?"
He pronounced the word "Gu Nianzhi" with a Chinese pronunciation, and his pronunciation was very smooth, as if he had practiced it many times, without any accent at all.
Gu Nianzhi blinked, "... Uh, yes, didn't you already know that? Didn't Als tell you?"
"I want to hear you tell me personally." Reinz looked at her deeply, "I don't believe what he said, but as long as you say it, I will believe it."
Gu Nianzhi was ashamed, looked away at a loss, and said, "Well, yes, but my English name is indeed Cereus."
Reinz raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was indeed something they didn't know.
He thought that the name Cereus was something she made up to coax him, but it turned out to be true.
"Okay, don't be like this. I don't believe Als didn't tell you about the case I was responsible for." Gu Nianzhi supported his head with his hands and leaned on the dining table to look at Reinz. "I really want to take this case." When it’s done, it’s the case related to Seth and the person who is chasing me this time.”
Reinz looked at her and thought that she really didn't lie to him. This little girl is too shrewd...
He searched the Li Haiqing case on his mobile phone, picked out some news and read it to her, saying: "...because Seth escaped, the court has not announced the result of the first instance." Then he added: "There is a plaintiff's lawyer team in this case, and you are just one of them." One of the lawyers, you are not there now, your colleagues will finish the case."
"I also sued Seth's family for civil compensation." Gu Nianzhi said dullly, "If I didn't go, I was worried that the family would escape civil punishment."
Reinz continued to watch the news and smiled, "Claim for one billion euros? Well, it's very bold and powerful."
Gu Nianzhi sat back down. She finally realized that Reinz had no intention of showing her his phone and she couldn't please him no matter how much he did.
Picking up her lunch with a knife and fork, Gu Nianzhi changed her angle to attack Reinz. While she was eating, she differentiated the relationship between Reinz and Als: "Leinz, why do you listen to Als so much? Why can he give orders? You? You are not a government official or a soldier. What he did is illegal. I am a foreigner. What did he do to me? If my country does not stand up for me, I will have no way to complain. But you are different , you are a German, a German citizen, if he dares to punish you, you can take him to a military court and send him to a military prison!"
Reinz stopped looking at his phone and looked up at her steadily. The look in his eyes seemed to encourage her: "Say, keep talking."
Gu Nianzhi blinked at him, "You know, I'm a lawyer, and a very successful lawyer. If you want to sue him, I can defend you for free, and I guarantee you'll beat him to the punch!"
Reinz laughed and shook his head, leaned forward, and whispered, "Cereus, I just like how you can tell lies to everyone. It's very charming."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
Depend on!
Despised!
Gu Nianzhi rolled his eyes rudely, knowing that he could not incite Reinz to fall out with Als.
"Cereus, do you know which agency the 1st Bureau of the Federal Intelligence Service in Als was formerly?" Reinz felt that it was necessary to educate Gu Nianzhi about it. Otherwise, she would really not be able to do this in the future if she wanted to poach Als so recklessly. Know how to die.
"Which one?" Gu Nianzhi was eating oatmeal porridge and put some condensed milk in it. It was so sweet that it became cloying.
"Gestapo."
Gu Nianzhi's hands shook and he looked at Reinz in disbelief, "Really?!"
The Gestapo is the German transliteration of the Chinese name, which translates to "State Secret Police". It was a notorious secret service agency during Nazi Germany and the most biting dog under the SS.
"This institution still exists?!"
"Of course the Gestapo no longer exists." Reinz shrugged, "But its organization and staffing were completely inherited by the 1st Bureau of the Federal Intelligence Service. So, don't be too careless."
Gu Nianzhi fell silent. She knew that Reinz had deep meaning in what he said.
He must be well aware of what she meant just now, so she vaguely reminded herself not to try to divide him and Als, because Als's energy was much greater than she imagined.
"...Als allowed you to live with me for the sake of my long-term friendship with him, but don't think that he has completely let go." Reinz was almost scaring her because he was worried about this bold person. The amazing little girl will do a lot of incredible things, and it would be bad if she annoys them and takes harsh measures against her.
Gu Nianzhi's face turned pale and he couldn't help but look around.
So there are also Als’s eyes and ears here
who is it
Those bodyguards outside the door? Or the cook who comes to cook? The janitor who cleans the house? Or the gardener outside pruning the flowers? !
When Reinz said this, Gu Nianzhi immediately gave up the idea of asking these service personnel to help her deliver the message.
Here, the only person she can trust is herself.
Even Reinz, she didn't dare to guarantee.
He obviously has a better relationship with Als.
But if a person sits here every day and does nothing, it would be better to die.
She lowered her head depressedly, her nose was sore, and two tears slid down her face and fell on the dining table. Gu Nianzhi quickly wiped them with a tissue.
Reinz was slightly startled, but finally gave in, "I'll ask Als tomorrow. If he agrees, I'll install a network at home."
Gu Nianzhi almost fainted after hearing this.
It turns out that his home really doesn’t have internet!
Is there anyone who doesn’t have internet at home these days? !
…
Gu Nianzhi sat on the window sill of the living room with her knees in her arms. The two crystal diamond earrings on her perfectly shaped earlobes shone in the sunlight, as if they had two miniature suns glued to them.
She looked at the neatly decorated garden beds in the yard and kept thinking about the opportunities.
Reinz brought a cup of coffee and sat not far from her reading the newspaper.
Gu Nianzhi glanced over, looked him up and down, and said, "Leinz, how did you and Als meet? Did you tell him that I was here with you?"
Judging from the tone, the two seemed to be friends, or very close friends.
Would a person who is a good friend of the director of the 1st Bureau of the German Federal Intelligence Service be an ordinary person
You seem to be teasing me...
Gu Nianzhi was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly.
Reinz didn't raise his head or evade, and said, "Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence? - Their department was looking for you, and they found you and found out that I was with you. Als is also an orphan. We all grew up in the same orphanage.”
"Weren't you later adopted by Hannah's mother?"
"Yes, but I was adopted by her when I was 12 years old, and Als was adopted when he was 10 years old. We were both older at that time, and we were best friends. Later, we met in college and became classmates." Reinz Explained very carefully.
Gu Nianzhi could imagine that when two boys who were familiar with each other in the orphanage met again in college a few years later, as long as they were normal people, their relationship would definitely be better than before.
"... Later, he joined the army and made a lot of contributions. His military rank and position kept rising. After I graduated from college, I became a software engineer and opened several small companies. After selling them, I made a little money."
After finishing speaking, Reinz looked up from the newspaper, a smile dancing in his blue eyes, "Curious girl, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
He turned his head and continued to look out the window and said, "Then install the Internet quickly. I'm so bored that I'm almost growing mushrooms."
Reinz looked at her thoughtfully.
In the past few days, she had been very well-behaved and didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but he sat on the window sill and looked out the window every day. It was not that he didn't understand her mood.
Who can still be happy when their freedom is restricted
But…
Reinz shook his head, thinking that maybe he should use another method.
She is a flower that shines brightly in the sunshine in the wild, not a bonsai kept in a greenhouse.
After that, Reinz went out often, saying that he was preparing for a new company and starting a new business.
Gu Nianzhi didn't quite believe it, but he didn't allow her to disbelieve it.
What's more, does it matter whether she believes it or not
Als would come over to see Reinz sometimes, but when he came, Gu Nianzhi never came out of the room.
I don't want to see him or talk to him.
In her eyes, he was just like a prison boss who came to visit the prison regularly.
The network was installed, but when Gu Nian went up and took a quick look around, she discovered that it was a network under strict surveillance. She didn't even dare to contact Yin Shixiong and the others, because as soon as she contacted them, she would expose them.
At this time, she realized that even with the Internet, she only dared to read some general things on it, and at most paid attention to the progress of the Li Haiqing case.
As for Seth who escaped, I heard there was still no news.
…
"What did you say?! That woman disappeared?! And she castrated Seth?!" The round-faced, straight-haired woman could not suppress her anger on the phone, "Are you pigs?! Trash! Trash! You don't want it!" Tell me, I gave you so many resources, even the Copernicus satellite tracking system allows you to call it, but you still lost her!"
"Boss, it's not that we are incompetent! This woman has helpers in the Alps! There was a man who was very powerful and took her away on a motorcycle. Several of us couldn't catch up with them on motorcycles. Later, we fell into the cliff and broke our body. Several people!”
"Help? How could she have helpers in the Alps?!" The woman laughed angrily. She knew very well that Huo Shaoheng, Gu Nianzhi's biggest helper, was still being tricked by her into being unable to escape in the United States. "Don't try to shirk the situation." Responsibility, just find such a ridiculous reason!"
