Gu Nianzhi's expression changed, and her heart almost skipped a beat.
"My father mentioned me in his letter?!" She knew it was a trap, but she still couldn't help jumping in.
She was too desperate to know about her father. Even if it was just a little bit, she would gladly do it.
Affected by the sudden glow on her face, Reinitz couldn't help reaching out and caressing her cheek. He said gently, "… You really don't remember what happened when you were young?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
"How can I lose my memory?" Reinitz muttered to himself. It sounded like a question, but also like a rhetorical question. "It shouldn't be …"
Gu Nianzhi pushed Reinitz's hand away with a look of disgust and stepped aside. "Speak properly and don't touch me."
Reinitz withdrew his hand and narrowed his charming blue eyes. "Didn't the Huaxia Empire treat you? They don't have a good psychiatrist? "
"Treat what?" Gu Nianzhi became wary. "Don't stray from the topic. What did my father say about me in his letter?"
Reinitz looked away and looked at the two white coffins in front of him. He said dryly, "Of course it's amnesia. As long as you regain your memory, do you still need to ask about your father's situation? "
Gu Nianzhi's eyes reddened when she heard that. She fought back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes and clenched her fists. She was on the verge of an emotional breakdown. She screamed hysterically, "It's fine if you don't want to tell me, but don't keep bringing up my amnesia! Do you think I don't want to regain my memory? Do you think I haven't seen a psychiatrist?! The best psychiatrist in the world is in the Huaxia Empire, but he's seen me for years and hasn't made any progress! "
The most infuriating thing was that he knew about her father's situation and still refused to tell her. This kind of person was the most annoying!
Gu Nianzhi decided to hate Reinitz. She hated him relentlessly!
Reinitz suddenly saw Gu Nianzhi's emotional breakdown and froze.
This was a completely different reaction from when she pretended to cry.
When she pretended to cry, although there were tears, her eyes were relaxed and it was obvious she wasn't sad.
But now, her nose was red, her eyes were blank, and she was sobbing intermittently. Her face was full of disappointment, anger, sorrow, and pain. It was heartbreaking.
This must be her true sorrow ….
Reinitz looked at her quietly for a while, walked over, and stroked her messy hair before pulling her into his arms.
Reinitz's arms stiffened as he pressed her head against his chest with one hand and patted her back with the other. His pleasant baritone soothed her hurt emotions.
"Alright, alright, I didn't say I wouldn't tell you. Aren't you always so calm and collected? Why can't you keep your cool when I mention your father? "
He coaxed her softly and whispered in her ear, "… Don't be like this. People will know your weakness and use it to threaten you."
Gu Nianzhi felt terrible and couldn't help retorting, "You don't have to pretend to be a good person. My weakness? Don't you know what my weakness is? Yes, my father is my weakness, but he is also my most powerful support! "
"If my father finds out that you guys are bullying me like this! Hurt me! He definitely won't let you off! " Gu Nianzhi struggled angrily and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Even if he's gone, he must have a way to keep me safe!"
She was shouting for Reinitz to hear, and also for the people behind her to hear.
She didn't know what He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng had planned.
But since He Zhichu had asked her to come to the Taj Mahal, he must have made preparations.
Perhaps there was a pinhole camera installed in an inconspicuous place that could be synchronized with the Internet.
Reinitz didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to be so strong when she struggled.
He had to let go in the end and said helplessly, "Cereus, don't be like this. I won't hurt you, I swear …"
"Don't, just stay away from me." Gu Nianzhi finally broke free from Reinitz and retreated cautiously. "What do you want? Didn't you see all of my father's things? "
But as soon as she said it, Gu Nianzhi realized Reinitz's true purpose.
It was probably her father's research results, right?
But it should be the latest results, not the old stuff from more than 20 years ago.
Reinitz sighed and looked up at the high vault of the Taj Mahal. He didn't know what to say.
For the first time, he realized how difficult it was to pretend that nothing had happened after his heart belonged to someone else.
Not to mention that he still had to carry out the mission. Every minute was torture.
Now was the time to test his acting skills.
Reinitz used all the training and hard work of his career to be able to act nonchalant. He said nonchalantly, "Yes, I've seen it all, so I want to see more."
"Just as I expected." Gu Nianzhi pointed at Reinitz. "You also want my father's latest research results."
"Yeah, why else would I put in so much effort?" Reinitz spread his hands. He smiled charmingly on the surface, but his heart was bleeding.
When you really love someone but have to lie to them, it's worse than death.
Reinitz looked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile, but he thought to himself, The Oscars owe me a Oscar …
With such flawless acting skills, would God forgive him for lying in front of the girl he loved the most?
"But I'm sorry, I know less than you." Gu Nianzhi shrugged and said regretfully.
She had wanted to get some real information from Reinitz, but she didn't expect him to know more than she did.
"Cereus, did you know that your father repeatedly said in his letters that his greatest achievement in life was you?"
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank, and she began to swear. "Reinitz, what the f * ck do you mean?!"
If he dared to say that she was Gu Xiangwen's test tube baby, she would definitely smash his head!
Reinitz immediately knew that Gu Nianzhi had misunderstood and shook his head in amusement. "Don't overthink it. Your father meant it as a metaphor. He meant that the person he loved and valued the most was you, not his research achievements."
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Reinitz suspiciously. "You're not lying to me? You know that lying to me at this time won't end well. "
Reinitz shrugged nonchalantly. "In our line of work, no one has a good ending. What you said is what everyone agreed on, so it's not a threat. "
Gu Nianzhi's heart instantly ached. She couldn't help but think of Huo Shaoheng. He had the same type of work as Reinitz. Could it be that he would also have a bad ending?
As soon as she thought of this possibility, Gu Nianzhi felt her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys hurt. She clutched her chest and squatted down with a pained expression.
"… You don't have to be so sad." Reinitz saw that Gu Nianzhi was so sad about his "ending," and the haze in his heart suddenly dissipated. The sun shone brightly, and he could even hear birds chirping outside the Taj Mahal.
"I'm not sad for you. I'm sad for myself." Gu Nianzhi tugged at the corner of Reinitz's shirt. "Are you sure that my father didn't mean what he said?"
"Of course not." Reinitz shook his head. "Let me finish. Your father's manuscripts contain a lot of information about your mother's pregnancy. Your father even personally wrote a maternity diary for your mother."
Gu Nianzhi: "???"
… Mother? Maternity diary?
She glared at Reinitz and felt like she had opened the door to a new world.
