Gu Nianzhi turned around with a smile and raised an eyebrow at the Ace of the Far East.
She didn’t say anything else, because she knew what to do.
It was one thing to let Linda and Dresden get intimate on purpose, but it was another thing to expose Linda and the Ace of the Far East’s identities.
Gu Nianzhi wasn’t that stupid, so she wouldn’t reveal their special identities in front of Dresden.
Linda felt incredibly awkward, but she didn’t show it at all. Instead, she laid lazily in Dresden’s arms. She said to the Ace of the Far East in Russian, “Peter, are the car and the tickets ready? Mr. Dresden and I want to leave this place by boat as soon as possible.”
Gu Nianzhi looked between the Ace of the Far East and Linda. She suddenly understood that these two were now “the heiress and her driver/bodyguard” in front of Dresden..
The Ace of the Far East indeed lived up to his name and quickly got into character.
He nodded slightly with a cold expression on his face and also answered in Russian, “Miss Linda, the bus and boat tickets are ready, but the weather outside isn’t good. I’m afraid we’ll have to wait two days before the boat leaves.”
This was the code between him and Linda. It meant that there were people watching outside and they couldn’t leave immediately.
Linda understood and deliberately frowned. She said unhappily in English, “How annoying! I want to take Dresden to see my parents immediately!”
Dresden looked at Linda in surprise and said, “Did you just speak Russian to him?”
Linda nodded and translated what she had said in Russian to Peter, The Ace of the Far East, in English to Dresden.
Dresden was obviously afraid of Linda’s “driver.” He frowned and looked at him a few times. He hesitated and said in English,”… Your driver is very handsome.”
Linda proudly flicked Dresden’s face with her finger and said with a smile, “Darling, are you jealous? Don’t worry, in my heart, no one is more handsome than you. I love you the most…”
Dresden glanced at the “driver Peter” in embarrassment and whispered, “Don’t say that in front of others.”
“Don’t worry, he doesn’t understand English.” Linda said and moved closer to Dresden. The two of them hugged and kissed passionately.
The Ace of the Far East, aka driver Peter, stood by the side with a straight face and didn’t make a sound. After all, he “didn’t understand” English.
Gu Nianzhi watched this scene, and her back was almost covered in sweat.
She had deliberately caused trouble because she had seen Linda and this Ace of the Far East being intimate in the gambling hall just now.
But now, seeing that Linda was able to control herself and acting so perfectly as if nothing had happened just now, she couldn’t help but admire her in her heart.
Tsk tsk, the Committee of State Security (KGB) really owed this bombshell of the Far East a small gold medal.
Those award-winning actors and actresses were nothing compared to the intelligence agent who would put on a show every day.
Gu Nianzhi was filled with emotion. When she thought about Huo Shaoheng’s career, she was no longer amused.
This was their job. Although she couldn’t do it herself, she respected their professionalism.
These people were all working for the interests of their country.
Everyone who sacrificed themselves for the interests of their country and the people was worthy of respect.
Gu Nianzhi stopped smiling and stood up. She turned around and walked out of the small hall to the deck outside.
This was a small yacht. It couldn’t be compared to the ten-story-tall Victoria Princess cruise ship.
The sea was rippling beneath her feet. Like snow-white night lilies embroidered on a navy brocade, the moonlight covered the sea.
He Zhichu followed her out and stood beside her. He propped his hands on the railing and looked askance at her. He asked, “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy again?”
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and took a deep breath. She smiled faintly and said, “No, it’s fine as long as the anger in my heart is vented. You know me. I have a big heart. Even if I’m unhappy, I won’t keep it in my heart for long.”
She raised her hand and tore off the round, flesh-colored band-aid that was stuck to her temple.
He Zhichu took it and threw it into the small trash can. He shook his head with a smile. “You’re really good at this.”
He leaned over and looked at Gu Nianzhi’s temple. He rubbed it gently with his hand and said, “It’s okay. These red marks will disappear soon.”
Gu Nianzhi grunted and said, “I know. I was deliberately sticking the band-aid on to diss that driver, Peter.”
He Zhichu chuckled and rubbed her head. “… You’re still as naughty as ever.”
He paused for a moment, then gave her a half-hearted smile. “It’ll be fine after a while.”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
She slapped his hand away and looked behind him. “Don’t worry about me. Go do your own thing.”
He Zhichu looked at her deeply. “Can you do it alone?”
“Of course.” Gu Nianzhi looked at him calmly. “Young Master He, I’m not a child anymore. I’m already 20 years old.”
This was the typical difference between He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng.
In Huo Shaoheng’s heart, his mission was absolutely the top priority.
If he was on a mission, even if Gu Nianzhi was by his side, he wouldn’t ignore his mission to take care of her emotions.
But He Zhichu, no matter what he was doing, as long as Gu Nianzhi needed him, he would put her first.
Although Gu Nianzhi didn’t accept He Zhichu’s feelings, she couldn’t turn a blind eye to his feelings, nor would she despise or even hate his efforts.
Because she also once had a secret crush on someone else, she knew how painful it was to not be accepted.
You could choose not to like someone, but you couldn’t look down on someone who truly liked you.
She knew his true feelings, so no matter how much his father, He Chengjian, had done to make her hate him, she couldn’t take it out on He Zhichu.
He Zhichu looked at her with a complicated expression and said, “Go in. Don’t stand here alone.”
Gu Nianzhi winked at him mischievously and said, “I want to be alone.”
She turned around to see what was going on inside the cabin, but the damn cabin door was tightly shut.
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and reached out to He Zhichu. “Do you have your infrared night vision goggles? Lend them to me.”
“What are you doing?” He Zhichu’s lips curled into a smile as he took out a pair of infrared night vision goggles from his pocket. “Don’t go overboard. See what you should see, and don’t see what you shouldn’t see. I won’t spoil you.”
“What shouldn’t I see?” Gu Nianzhi smiled as she snatched the infrared night vision goggles from his hands. “I’m just looking at the western scenery and learning how Swallow works.”
“You…” He Zhichu pinched her nose. “They know what they’re doing. Don’t really piss them off.”
They and the KGB were working together now, but this kind of cooperation was mutually beneficial and very fragile.
The Committee of State Security (KGB) would turn on you if you really angered them.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. “I know, I know what to do. I said I’m fine, so don’t worry about me.”
She pushed He Zhichu. “You can go, you can go. Hurry up and do your own thing. Let me entertain myself for a while.”
He Zhichu was almost pushed back into the small hall of the yacht by her.
Gu Nianzhi held her infrared night vision goggles in her hands and proudly made a Victory V sign at him.
The driver Peter, the Ace of the Far East, happened to turn around and looked at them coldly. He quickly looked away.
He Zhichu did have something to do.
After he went in, he called Linda and Dresden and took Linda’s “driver, Peter,” to the other room of the yacht to talk about their plan of action.
Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang were still in the small room while making out with each other.
Gu Nianzhi stood alone at the bow of the boat while looking at the moon.
Her mind was almost empty. She didn’t think about anything, or perhaps she was thinking about many things. Her expression was extremely calm.
Under the moonlight, her face was like a jade carving. It was white and delicate, so beautiful that she didn’t look like a real person.
She looked up at the night sky and thought to herself, the weather forecast said that it would rain tonight, but the moon was so bright that it really didn’t look like it would rain.
It didn’t take long for her to realize that she had spoken too early.
A dark cloud suddenly blocked out the moonlight, and the silver surface of the sea suddenly darkened.
Soon, light drizzling rain fell on the surface of the sea. The wind blew on the surface of the sea, and visibility became lower and lower.
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes to feel the autumn rain on the sea, and her eyes suddenly widened.
She had just felt the small yacht, which was slowly moving at a constant speed, suddenly shake slightly.
It was drizzling on the sea, and the water was rippling. If she had felt the shaking in the cabin, she wouldn’t have been alerted at all.
However, Gu Nianzhi happened to be standing on the deck of the bow.
She was holding the infrared night-vision goggles He Zhichu had given her. She had originally planned to wear them to spy on the “love triangle” between Linda, Peter, and Dresden…
Now they had a new use.
When it was pitch black before her eyes, of course, she had to wear the infrared night vision glasses.
Gu Nianzhi silently put them on and looked at the turbulent sea.
In the dark field of vision, a few human-shaped red figures were floating and sinking right below their yacht.
Gu Nianzhi’s heart sank.
They were frogmen!
She took out her phone and sent He Zhichu a text message. She put her phone on the deck and slipped to the stern. After confirming that there were no frogmen there, she pulled the rope at the stern and slipped into the water.
Nobody on the boat was as good at swimming as she was, and she wanted to do something for He Zhichu.
In the small room on the yacht, He Zhichu and the others were halfway through their secret conversation when they received a message from Gu Nianzhi.
He Zhichu looked up abruptly. “… There are frogmen around the yacht!”
At that moment, they felt the small yacht shake again.
This time, it was much more obvious than before.
