Reinitz didn't speak for a moment.
The Taj Mahal stood quietly in front of them.
Looking up, under the blue sky and white clouds, the pure white building was spotless. It was like a heavenly garden with an otherworldly beauty.
500 years ago, an emperor's love for his lover was all poured into this mausoleum.
Unlike other famous buildings in the world, the Taj Mahal was born out of love. The pain of not being able to ask for it and the regret of not being able to be together for a long time were all reflected in its silent beauty.
Reinitz let out a soft sigh of relief. The corners of his mouth twitched as he smiled and said, "… Why? Why do you think? "
He glanced at Gu Nianzhi and saw that her big, attractive eyes were full of wariness and doubt. He felt slightly bitter, but there was nothing he could do.
He had his responsibilities, his ideals and ambitions.
Just like he swore on the day he started working, he would be loyal to his country and his career. Even if it went against his own heart, he would choose to give up.
"Life is beautiful, death is painful. Responsibility is on the body, and there is no turning back.
Enemies in front, companions behind, heaven on the left, hell on the right.
Faith is eternal, strength is inextinguishable, no regrets, no love, no hate. "
Gu Nianzhi's eyes wandered over Reinitz's face and didn't miss the complicated look in his moving blue eyes.
No way? Did he really have feelings for her?
Furrowing her brows, Gu Nianzhi shook off the thought that had suddenly surfaced in her mind.
How was that possible?
Even if he did, it wouldn't stop him from lying to her, scheming against her, and hurting her.
So what was the point of this kind of feeling?
It was better to be hostile and not give him any leeway.
Gu Nianzhi looked away and said calmly, "If you don't want to say it, fine. Then let's guess."
She looked up and followed Reinitz slowly up the marble steps of the Taj Mahal.
"You brought me to the Taj Mahal, so first of all, you have to eliminate personal factors."
"… Why do you have to eliminate personal factors?" Reinitz smiled faintly. "Maybe it's personal factors? Maybe it's my selfishness? "
Gu Nianzhi looked at him calmly. "Because personal factors don't matter here. Even if they do, they can't influence your will, right?"
Reinitz's smile faded and he laughed self-deprecatingly. "Yes, that makes sense."
The two of them went up the steps at the base and walked into the big arch of the Taj Mahal.
It was a typical Persian architectural style, filled with a lot of repetition, radiation, and rhythmic stripe patterns.
The high colonnades were conical, and at each entrance were arches of brick, framed by long foliage that flowed down from the top.
However, in Gu Nianzhi's eyes, the patterns here were too complicated and made her dizzy.
She silently followed Reinitz to the hall where the coffin was placed.
It was said that the favored concubine and the emperor were sleeping here.
Reinitz stood in front of the coffin and quietly looked at it for a while before asking, "Tell me, is it worth it for that emperor to lose his throne for his woman?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "You'll have to ask him about that. Feelings are like drinking water, only you know whether it's hot or cold. "
There was another saying, only the feet would know if the shoes fit.
With his hands behind his back, Reinitz paced in front of the coffin and said slowly, "Didn't you want to know if that note was real or fake?"
Gu Nianzhi pricked up her ears and looked over. "Okay, go ahead."
"But you didn't ask me where I got that note."
Gu Nianzhi froze and immediately asked, "If I'm not even sure if it's real or fake, why would I ask you where you got it?"
Reinitz was speechless.
What kind of counterattack was this? But it sounded reasonable …
"If I asked you where you got the note, wouldn't that mean that the note is real? Since it's real, why would I ask if it's real or fake? Don't you think it's contradictory? "
Gu Nianzhi laughed. "Reinitz, I've taken all of your information. Although I don't have the ability to see all the content, I also know that your department has top-secret information about me. "
Reinitz was very surprised and turned to look at her. He thought to himself that she was able to find top-secret information from the system so quickly. This kind of ability seemed to be even higher than they had imagined.
For the first time, Reinitz was confused about his previous decision.
He had subconsciously chosen to hide it and not say that Gu Nianzhi was the famous hacker, "Pink Piggy." Was it right or wrong?
He had originally thought that with their encryption technology, even if those things were taken away, they would absolutely not be able to decrypt them or even see them at all.
How could they decrypt something that they couldn't even see?
Could it be that he had really been careless?
Gu Nianzhi was also observing Reinitz's expression.
Yes, they had found the hidden material in the system, but even with the cooperation of two experts, Zhao Liangze and Huo Shaoheng, they could only find the hidden material but not open it.
They had used the central control system's decryption program to calculate that to decrypt the password, with the computing power of the current computer, it would probably take 500 years = _ =%.
Seeing that Reinitz finally revealed an indescribable look, Gu Nianzhi knew she had guessed correctly.
Her heart jumped, but at the same time, she relaxed.
"Your target has always been me, right?"
Although Gu Nianzhi didn't know what was written in the top-secret information about her, she knew from Reinitz's expression that it must be something they wanted but couldn't get.
Gu Nianzhi's mind raced as she thought about her constitution, the kind of nature-defying constitution that made her both proud and embarrassed.
Suddenly, she flipped her wrist and a sharp knife appeared in her hand.
Reinitz suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist with lightning speed. He said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Are you trying to commit suicide? With me here, do you think you can hurt yourself in front of me? "
Gu Nianzhi slowly opened her lips to reveal a mysterious smile. She lowered her voice and said, "… Huh? Why don't you think I'm going to do something to you? If I take the knife, it could be to cut you! "
Reinitz was speechless as he looked at the knife in Gu Nianzhi's hand. It wasn't even the size of his palm. Although it was very sharp and the blade gleamed coldly, would a grown man be afraid of a fruit knife?
"Cut me? Use your fruit knife? You might as well take out your nail clippers. I'll be even more afraid. "Reinitz mocked her and let go of her wrist." Why don't you try? "
"I'll try." Gu Nianzhi turned the knife and slashed the back of her hand.
Reinitz reached out again, but this time, he didn't just grab her wrist. Instead, he clenched his fist with one hand and bent his knuckles to hit a certain spot on her wrist.
Gu Nianzhi instantly felt her fingers go numb, and the knife was about to fall from her hand.
Reinitz reached out with his other hand and caught the knife.
Gu Nianzhi's movements were also very fast. She followed up with a backhand swipe and rubbed the sharp edge of the knife.
A line of blood instantly appeared on the back of her jade-white hand, and beads of blood slowly seeped out.
"Do you want to see how I heal myself?" Gu Nianzhi clenched her right fist and crossed her arm in front of her chest to show Reinitz her wound. She said expressionlessly, "The last time we came out of the Alps, you specially took me to the hospital in Berlin. Did you already know?"
