Chapter 1535: I Just Don’t Have Confidence In Myself
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but glare at him while thinking, why are you so smug? You’ll die sooner or later!
The Ace of the Far East furrowed his brows even more tightly.
Linda saw that the situation wasn’t looking good and quickly said, “Miss Gu, Peter doesn’t have QQ either. He only uses his phone and text messages to communicate.”
So it was fine as long as she had a phone number. If she pressed too hard, Linda couldn’t guarantee what her immediate superior would do…
Although Miss Gu was annoying, she didn’t want her to die in the hands of her superior for no reason.
He Zhichu pulled Gu Nianzhi away and looked at her with a frown. “… You really like him? Just because he looks exactly like… that person?”
Gu Nianzhi quickly shook her head and denied it. “Of course not. Am I that kind of person?”
He Zhichu stared at her and his voice became colder.”… Aren’t you?”
It was obvious that he didn’t believe her.
Gu Nianzhi felt wronged. She leaned against the railing of the boat and turned her head to look in the direction of the sh.o.r.eline. She said weakly, “Young Master He, in this world, you are the only person I know and trust the most. If even you don’t believe me, I don’t think there’s any meaning in living anymore.”
He Zhichu’s heart tightened. He reached out to hug her and pressed his chin against her head. He mumbled, “I don’t doubt you… I just don’t have confidence in myself.”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart almost ached when she heard that. Her throat felt dry, and she could barely speak.
He Zhichu was a proud man. No matter which world he was in, he was at the top.
But for such a proud man to say that he didn’t have confidence in himself in front of her…
Gu Nianzhi thought about it for a while. She wrapped her arms around his waist and patted his back. She wanted to comfort him, but she felt that everything she said was fake. She might as well not say it and just quietly accompany him.
He Zhichu closed his eyes. He had never realized that in this relations.h.i.+p, he could be so lowly.
He had once been extremely unwilling to accept her. He hated her for forgetting about the past. He hadn’t been kind to her, and his temper had been extremely bad.
But no matter how he treated her, she didn’t care.
He had already been worn out by her.
He Zhichu hugged the person he loved the most and felt her graceful curves. He Zhichu gradually felt pa.s.sion in his heart.
His lips lingered above her head and gradually moved down.
He held the back of her neck and kissed her forehead with trembling lips.
Gu Nianzhi’s body froze and she quickly pushed He Zhichu away.
At that moment, the door of the cabin creaked and the Ace of the Far East just happened to push the door open.
He looked up and his gaze was as quick as lightning.
Gu Nianzhi quickly came to her senses and immediately said in Russian, “Mr. Peter, are you looking for Young Master He?”
He Zhichu had his back to the cabin. Hearing that someone had come, he sighed and released his hand.
He looked down at Gu Nianzhi, who was only looking in the direction of the Ace of the Far East. He rubbed her head in frustration.”… Go in.”
His voice became colder.
Gu Nianzhi quickly walked away from him and headed towards the cabin.
As she walked past the Ace of the Far East, she heard him whisper in Chinese,”… Promiscuous.”
Gu Nianzhi: “! ! !”
She stopped in her tracks and bared her teeth at the Ace of the Far East, who was staring at her. “What do you mean? ! When did I ever offend you? Why are you scolding me like this?!”
“Nianzhi, get in.” He Zhichu’s voice was even colder. It was clear that he didn’t want Gu Nianzhi to have more contact with the Ace of the Far East.
Gu Nianzhi felt very sullen when she saw that this person had ignored her after saying one word to her. She stomped her feet and returned to the cabin.
He Zhichu looked carefully at the Ace of the Far East from the KGB. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, “Mr. Peter, do you have a wife?”
The Ace of the Far East took out a cigar and poked it in his palm. He calmly said, “No.”
“What about a girlfriend?”
“… I have a s.e.xual partner, if that’s what you mean.” The Ace of the Far East looked at He Zhichu expressionlessly. “What’s wrong? Your woman is trying to be nice to me, so are you jealous?”
He Zhichu’s lips twitched. “She has a childish temper. Don’t take it seriously.”
“I didn’t take it seriously, but if she wants to climb into my bed, I won’t refuse.” The Ace of the Far East looked at He Zhichu provocatively. “After all, she is very young and has a good figure. Moreover, Young Master He’s woman must be very good…”
Boom!
He Zhichu couldn’t take it anymore and punched him.
The Ace of the Far East used only one hand to hold his arm and said coldly, “Young Master He, if you are like this, I am very disappointed in your Huaxia Empire. I came here to carry out a mission, not to compete with you for jealousy.”
“Hehe, you still remember your mission? Why do I feel lke you’re coveting my woman!” He Zhichu pushed away the Ace of the Far East. Adjusting his collar, he went back to the topic at hand. “The CIA has sent out their most elite troops. Where are the men you brought? Don’t tell me there are only two of you.”
“You don’t have to worry about our men.” The Ace of the Far East turned to look at the navy blue sea that was covered in silver light. “As long as you help to send him to M City, our men will take over the rest.”
M City and H City were the same. They were two of Huaxia Empire’s more special regions.
Now that the international community knew that Dresden was in H City and that various forces were gathered in H City, it was obvious that the committee of State Security (KGB) of the Soviet Union wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to secretly bring him to M City and exit the border from there.
He Zhichu nodded and frowned as he looked at the Ace of the Far East, then said, “… Do you really believe that this Dresden brought important information?”
The Ace of the Far East’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “What does Young Master He mean?”
He Zhichu didn’t answer directly. He said implicitly, “The SEAL team tonight wasn’t very strong.”
..
Inside the cabin, Gu Nianzhi was restless after entering the cabin in a panic.
Trying to find something to distract herself, she held a gla.s.s of water.
After tonight, Bai Shuang and Zhao Liangze had gotten closer.
She didn’t disturb them and took out her phone to surf the internet for fun.
She opened the social networking site she frequented and suddenly saw Dresden posting new trending news on that Twitter account.
Looking at the time, it was when they were fighting with those seals at the bottom of the sea.
This time, it was some juicy news about the upper echelons of the Huaxia Empire.
Of course, it was said that his source of information was the CIA, so those who read the gossip believed it without a doubt and quickly spread it on the internet.
Gu Nianzhi was slightly taken aback. She subconsciously glanced at Dresden, who was across from her, but didn’t see Linda.
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and raised her gla.s.s to Dresden. She smiled and said in English, “Where’s Miss Linda?”
“She went to the bathroom to freshen up.” Dresden smiled at Gu Nianzhi and complimented her again. “Is Miss Gu really a lawyer? You’re so skilled…”
“Of course I’m a lawyer.” Gu Nianzhi said with a.s.surance, “Mr. Dresden, did you just post something on Twitter?”
Dresden froze for a moment. His eyes flashed and he quickly nodded. “I was angry, so I went to post something.”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
“Why were you angry just now?” She was very confused. “Because those people wanted to kill you?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Aren’t you angry? What did I do wrong for them to want to kill me like that? !” Dresden waved his arms in indignation. “I just don’t like their eavesdropping! I think everyone should be free on the internet!”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
She stared at Dresden intently and enunciated each word clearly. “You were angry that the CIA was coming after you, so you went on Twitter to leak information about the Huaxia Empire? I don’t understand this logic.”
Dresden didn’t seem to expect this young 20-year-old lawyer to be so shrewd. He froze for a moment, then he said uneasily,”… I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Anyway, that information is important to the CIA. If I expose it, it’ll be a major blow to them.”
Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes and sized up the so-called “traitor of the CIA” that both the Huaxia Empire and the Soviet Union had devoted all their efforts to protect.
She didn’t continue to ask questions. She lowered her head and opened the little a app that Lu Jin had given her and silently hacked into the Twitter account.
That account had been set up with Zhao Liangze’s help from Dresden. It could make it impossible for the Twitter authorities to find the IP address of the account posts.
But similarly, no one else was able to trace the IP address of the account posts.
Gu Nianzhi had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
The app Lu Jin had given her was better than the one Zhao Liangze had written.
Gu Nianzhi used the app to hack into Dresden’s account and was able to see the IP addresses of every post in his account.
She quickly searched for the IP address of the latest post on Twitter. It turned out to be America!
Dresden had clearly said that he was the one who had posted the content here, so the IP address should be H City. However, after using a special APP to check the IP address of the post, she found out that Dresden was lying!
He was in H City, but he still had accomplices in the United States to help him post on Twitter.
Gu Nianzhi quickly logged out of Dresden’s Twitter account and erased all traces of her login.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Dresden and asked, “Do you still have any helpers in the states?”
“I have a colleague.” Dresden’s expression changed as he looked at Gu Nianzhi. He said carefully, “What’s wrong? I have some information with her. If anything happens to me, she will publish it.”
Dresden was speaking in English, so Gu Nianzhi could tell that when Dresden said “colleague,” he said her. In other words, the person was a woman.
She didn’t continue to ask him, because even if she pointed out that he was lying, Dresden would use his colleague as an excuse. He would also say that he didn’t trust Gu Nianzhi, so he wouldn’t tell her the truth.
She wouldn’t gain anything by exposing him now.
Gu Nianzhi stood up silently and nodded at him. “We’ll be landing soon. Let’s det ready.”
Dresden let out a long sigh.
Gu Nianzhi turned and walked out of the cabin. She didn’t see Dresden’s expression turn cold. His eyes were dark as he stared at her back.
When she reached the cabin, Gu Nianzhi closed the cabin door tightly.
He Zhichu and the Ace of the Far East were still talking at the bow of the s.h.i.+p.
Their voices were very soft and couldn’t be heard from the empty surface of the sea.
Gu Nianzhi quickly replayed everything that had happened before and after Dresden’s appearance in her mind, and the doubts in her heart deepened.
She coughed lightly.
The two people standing at the bow of the s.h.i.+p turned to look at her.
He Zhichu immediately said, “What’s wrong? Is It a cold? We’ll reach the sh.o.r.e soon.”
Gu Nianzhi walked over and didn’t hide anything from the two people. She said in a low voice, “There’s something wrong with Dresden.”
He Zhichu and the Ace of the Far East looked at each other, then quickly looked away.
“I think he might be a trap set up by the CIA.” Gu Nianzhi decided to tell them the truth. “A trap to lure out both of you.”
