But who knew if there wasn’t someone calmly watching her?
It’s not like they hadn’t encountered such a situation before.
He Zhichu knew that he had been too impulsive and too reckless today.
He did not have Huo Shaoheng’s calm composure.
But he didn’t want to be as calm as Huo Shaoheng.
He always believed that Gu Nianzhi meant different things to him and Huo Shaoheng.
The only difference between him and Huo Shaoheng was that Gu Nianzhi did not love him.
She only loved Huo Shaoheng.
Gleaming in the blackness, Gu Nianzhi’s eyes were as bright as stars in the dark night.
She shook her head firmly. “No, I am not afraid. I really am not afraid.”
After a pause, she said, “In fact, even if you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t be afraid.”
She would escape again by depending on her own abilities.
If the person who brought her into the room hadn’t been He Zhichu, but someone else, Gu Nianzhi could guarantee that person would have become a eunuch by then…
She wasn’t bare-handed, and she also had weapons to defend herself.
She was able to kill a person even if she only had a small knife.
He Zhichu felt sorrowful. He embraced her with his arms. With his jaw resting on the top of her head, he hugged her quietly for a while.
He lowered his eyes and, unable to see her face, he no longer concealed his love for her in his eyes.
He slowly lowered his head and kissed the top of hers. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. It took all his strength to restrain himself from saying what he shouldn’t.
He couldn’t let her know that he still loved her and loved her deeply.
He Zhichu abruptly pushed Gu Nianzhi away and, holding her shoulders with both hands, his eyes flashed. His face resumed its usual indifference.
“Okay. Remember, wait here for the time being, and don’t go anywhere. I’ll find someone to send a letter to Speaker Long, and let them send someone to pick you up.” He Zhichu took out his cell phone and glanced at it, but he suddenly appeared shocked. “…My phone is out of signal.”
Not only could he not access the Internet, but he couldn’t even make a call.
Gu Nianzhi quickly took out her own phone and looked at it. “Huh? Mine can connect to the Internet, and can make phone calls…”
He Zhichu, “…”
He took Gu Nianzhi’s phone and looked at it, then curled his lips. “…Is this the phone that Huo Shao modified for you?”
Gu Nianzhi was silent.
“Really?” She leaned over and scrutinized it suspiciously.
“You are connected to Huaxia’s Mobile signal here, and using Huaxia’s Nandou Satellite System.” He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi’s phone again, then shook his head and opened an app on it. Using Gu Nianzhi’s phone as a server, he connected her mobile phone to the Internet, then used Gu Nianzhi’s phone to send a text message with their location to Speaker Long.
“I’m leaving. You have to be careful.” He Zhichu took off his coat and put it on Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi took back her phone and longingly watched He Zhichu walk away.
As soon as the door was opened, she heard rumbling noises along with footsteps, gunshots, and the sound of looting outside.
Gu Nianzhi quickly closed the door.
In reality, the latch on the door had been broken a long time ago, and the inside was also very worn out. It obviously had been unoccupied for a long time.
In normal times, Gu Nianzhi would definitely avoid that sort of place.
But at that time, she felt that it was much safer there than it was outside.
She glanced around the room and found an iron rod that was a foot long and inserted it behind the door as a latch.
She wiped the table clean and sat down on it.
She wrapped He Zhichu’s coat around herself, and slowly, her teeth no longer rattled, and her body stopped trembling.
She waited quietly in the house for others to meet her.
…
In the management office of the shopping center, the Vice President of India led everyone into the conference room, then he sighed. “We’ve finally come in.”
The situation moments before was truly terrifying. He was almost trampled to death by the mobs…
Fortunately, Speaker Long had his back!
By that time, the Vice President of India truly believed in Speaker Long.
He looked at him with respect in his eyes, and he no longer was dismissive of him as he had been in the beginning.
Speaker Long knew this very well, but he didn’t say anything. His eyes surveyed the crowd of his own people, and he quietly counted the number of people inside.
After looking around, he suddenly found that one person was missing.
He stood up abruptly, and his facial expression changed suddenly as he asked sharply, “Where is Lawyer Gu? Did any of you see Lawyer Gu?!”
Everyone looked around and realized that Gu Nianzhi was missing.
Special Assistant Yang’s back was still bleeding, and he was sitting aside as someone bandaged him with the first aid kit in the conference room.
Upon hearing Speaker Long mention Gu Nianzhi, he quickly raised his head and asked, “Didn’t Lawyer Gu follow you in? Is she still outside? Speaker Long, hurry up and send two people out to find her.”
Speaker Long nodded, picked the two most powerful security guards, and said, “Go out quickly and bring Lawyer Gu back.”
The two of them nodded and left the shopping center together.
But the situation outside was truly chaotic.
Although those two men were men, they could hardly walk after being pushed by the crazy Indian mob outside.
They searched for her outside, but they didn’t see Gu Nianzhi, so they had to go back and report to Speaker Long. Along the way, they asked their superiors if they wanted to look for Gu Nianzhi on a larger scale.
Gu Nianzhi came with the Huaxia Empire’s Imperial Diplomatic delegation.
If something happened to her in India, they wouldn’t let it go!
Back at the shopping center, the two men reported to Speaker Long, saying, “Speaker Long, there is no sign of Lawyer Gu outside for the time being. Maybe she found a place to hide. Do you want us to look for her on a larger scale?”
Speaker Long’s eyebrows furrowed more tightly. “Where could she go in just over ten minutes?”
He checked his watch. It turned out that half an hour had passed.
It turns out that when people are nervous, they feel that time flies by faster…
As they were worrying over what to do, Speaker Long’s cell phone suddenly rang.
He quickly took out his phone, opened it, and saw that it was a text message from Gu Nianzhi along with her location. Suddenly, he burst out laughing. “It’s alright! It’s alright! Lawyer Gu sent me a message. You guys can find her later.”
The Vice President of India was very surprised. “…Your Excellency Speaker Long, does your phone still have a signal?!”
He looked at his mobile phone moments before and had found that not only was there no Wi-Fi, but there was also no cell phone reception!
“Of course we have a signal.” Speaker Long said with a smile. Their mobile phones were specially made by the Huaxia Empire Military Department. They were directly connected to the Nandou Satellite Communication System independently developed by the Huaxia Empire for their visit, and did not have any overlaps with the network system of the country they were visiting in order to avoid leaks.
Special Assistant Yang’s mouth twitched twice, and his eyes flickered.
He looked down at his mobile phone and saw that there was also a signal, but his mobile phone network was neither provided by India’s Mobile network, nor by the Huaxia Empire’s Mobile network.
The wound on his shoulder was bandaged, so Special Assistant Yang gave a few instructions to the people around him and said he would go out and buy some clothes to change into.
He was now covered in dirt, mud, and blood.
Speaker Long had a much better impression of him after today’s events, and he waved his hand considerately and permitted him to change his clothes.
Special Assistant Yang made eye contact with Rong Mingxing.
Rong Mingxing gritted her teeth and followed Special Assistant Yang outside.
Special Assistant Yang took her to buy some clothes.
Fortunately, they were in the shopping mall, and it was the best shopping mall in New Delhi.
Special Assistant Yang found a shop selling the best menswear in the world, and casually bought a Hugo Boss suit and shirt, then took it into the dressing room to try it on.
Rong Mingxing did not follow him and stood outside the fitting room.
As soon as Special Assistant Yang entered, he switched on the Bluetooth headset as he changed his clothes.
“… You lost track of her?”
“Gu Nianzhi sent her location. There are two people on our side looking for her, so you can simply follow those two. Yes, they are easy to recognize. The bodyguards brought by Speaker Long are of military and police background. They both have buzzed haircuts, wear sunglasses, have Bluetooth headsets in their ears, and are in black uniforms. I will point them out to you when I go out.”
Special Assistant Yang’s voice was very low, but he forgot that the small room in the fitting room wasn’t sealed. The top and bottom were open, so it wasn’t soundproof at all.
Rong Mingxing could hear him clearly outside.
She tensed up and felt even more guilty.
“…How many people did you look for? Are they all from Japan? Or are you the elite field service of the Tokyo Super High-tech squadron? You sure you didn’t try to deceive me? If you guys can do it, then do it, because if you guys fail to kill her, there will be a huge mess waiting!”
“It’s okay? You have a lot of people? You want to have fun? Whatever… But Gu Nianzhi is indeed quite attractive, and the most important thing is that she has a good figure…”
Special Assistant Yang’s somewhat perverted laughter rang out.
Rong Mingxing could not stand it anymore when she heard this!
She glared at the half-closed door of the dressing room and clenched her fists tightly.
Special Assistant Yang was… cooperating with the Japanese!
This was beyond her imagination!
Rong Mingxing didn’t want to cross paths with Gu Nianzhi anymore.
But Special Assistant Yang tried to persuade her, again and again, to distract and stall Gu Nianzhi for a period of time, so that she couldn’t get in and would suffer a little outside.
She never imagined that Special Assistant Yang didn’t just want her to suffer, but that he actually wanted to kill her!
No, she couldn’t continue to help him…
Rong Mingxing turned and left the fitting room. She quickly returned to the conference room where Speaker Long and the others were located, and quickly said, “Speaker Long, I have something to tell you!”
Speaker Long looked up at her and was about to ask something, but Special Assistant Yang’s voice sounded, “Xiao Rong, why did you run back alone? I thought you got lost too, and that scared me.”
Rong Mingxing’s face immediately paled. With quick wits, she quickly changed the subject and said, “Special Assistant Yang, I want to go home. I wanted to tell Speaker Long to bring me back this time. I don’t want to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs anymore.”
