Gu Nianzhi's expression was very subtle.
"My grandfather took something from your bureau? You want me to return it to you? "
Pfft pfft …
Gu Nianzhi wanted to stick out her tongue in disdain.
"You seem to have forgotten that everything from your bureau was taken away …" Gu Nianzhi looked at Reinitz with amusement. "How do you want me to return it? I don't have anything I want, but I have my life. "
Reinitz smiled. "To be honest, we actually have backups of everything that was taken that time. At most, we just need to change the keys and the information can be shared as long as those people can crack our passwords. However, the things your grandfather took were different. During the war years many years ago, there was no internet or computers, so all information was saved on paper. He took the originals and destroyed the copies. "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Well done!
Gu Nianzhi blinked with a smile and said playfully, "Oh! I'm really sorry. It seems like your bureau's feng shui isn't good. You keep encountering this kind of thing! "
She wasn't "ashamed" at all. Instead, she was proud of it.
Reinitz was a little angry. His brows furrowed, and his voice deepened. "Cereus, this is very important. Don't try to change the topic."
"I'm not." Gu Nianzhi spread her hands and made up her mind not to agree to Reinitz's request.
According to Reinitz, her grandfather took the things many years ago during the war. Based on her age, it should be during World War II.
During World War II, someone who could take the originals from the German Gestapo and destroy the copies was no ordinary person.
And something that the Gestapo had been searching for for half a century must be even more impressive.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she also said seriously, "Okay, since this is very important, let's have a good talk."
Reinitz breathed a sigh of relief and his tone softened. "Cereus, as long as you know …"
However, Gu Nianzhi changed the topic. "… You said my grandfather took something from you, so you have to prove that it belongs to you first. Otherwise, how can we talk about the ownership of an item? "
Reinitz, "…"
He could understand every word that Gu Nianzhi said, but when they were strung together, he suddenly didn't know what she meant.
"… Ownership?"
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi spread her hands. "You can't expect me to immediately believe that my grandfather took something from you and think that my grandfather is a thief, right? You know, I'm a lawyer, so I'm very concerned about the legal ownership of things. "
"You want me to prove that this thing belongs to our bureau?" Reinitz's eyebrows twitched as he suppressed the shock in his heart.
After all, Gu Nianzhi had really hit the nail on the head and pointed out the essence of the problem.
They had been searching for it for so many years, but they had never been able to bring it to the table.
Because that thing involved a lot of secrets during World War II, it couldn't be disclosed to the public.
Gu Nianzhi nodded solemnly. "I can help you, but you must prove that this thing belongs to you. If you can't prove it, I can't help you. I'm already aggrieved that I can't speak up for my grandfather. If I were to follow you and accuse my grandfather, would I still be human? "
Before formulating the plan, Reinitz had thought of many scenarios and even thought of many possible reasons for Gu Nianzhi's refusal to cooperate. He had come up with countermeasures one by one.
However, he had never thought that Gu Nianzhi would find him for evidence that could prove that the thing belonged to them.
Reinitz was silent for a while, then said with difficulty, "… Of course there is evidence, but I'm afraid it's not good to show it to you."
"Then I really can't help you." Gu Nianzhi leaned against the arched door and crossed her arms. "If you can't show me evidence, please don't say that my grandfather took something from you."
"What do you mean?" Reinitz looked up at her, his blue eyes cold and without a trace of emotion.
"What I mean is very simple. I believe in my grandfather's character, and I don't think he would take something from you. If he really did take it, then it means that it wasn't yours to begin with. "Gu Nianzhi spoke with conviction and refused to admit that her grandfather had been a" thief. "
"Haha, now I know what it means to make a false accusation." Reinitz sneered at the empty field outside the door. It was paved with snow-white marble that reflected a white jade-like luster under the South Asian sun.
"Make a false accusation?" Gu Nianzhi also sneered. "Now I know what it means to be a thief calling a thief."
Reinitz looked up at her abruptly. "Cereus, are you not going to listen to my kind advice? Are you forcing me to be heavy-handed?"
"Heavy-Handed?" Gu Nianzhi sneered disdainfully. "I wonder who was the one who said she wouldn't hurt me …"
"Haha, I won't hurt you, and my men won't hurt you either. But I can't guarantee that for your little friend. " Reinitz waved his hand and grabbed Gu Nianzhi's arm tightly. He pulled her out of the arched door and coldly ordered his men, "Bring her little friend over."
Gu Nianzhi suddenly looked up at him.
Reinitz's face was as ascetic as a religion. He was extremely handsome, but also extremely cold.
Soon, two masked men with guns pushed a woman whose hands and feet were tied up and whose mouth was taped with tape as they stumbled over.
Rong Mingxing was already awake, but she seemed to have suffered a little. Her hair was a little messy, and there was a hint of redness and swelling on her face where there was no tape. She must have been beaten.
Gu Nianzhi quickly glanced at Rong Mingxing without batting an eyelid.
Fortunately, although her clothes were a little dirty, she was still neatly dressed. She probably hadn't been violated …
When she looked at Rong Mingxing's eyes again, there was only anger and fear. There was no pain or sadness.
Gu Nianzhi was a little relieved and turned to look at Reinitz. "Are you using her to threaten me?"
"Don't use such a bad word as' threat. '" Reinitz bowed slightly and resumed his usual "angel face, devil heart" behavior. "I just hope that Lawyer Gu can give us a chance to help us solve our problem and find the long-lost thing."
"Let her go." Gu Nianzhi gritted her teeth. Although she was extremely unwilling, she couldn't sit back and watch Rong Mingxing's personal safety.
"I can promise not to hurt her." Reinitz raised his eyebrows. "When you help us find that thing, I will naturally let her go."
Rong Mingxing heard this and tears immediately flowed down her face.
She whimpered and shook her head desperately at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't stand it anymore. She clenched her fists and bargained with Reinitz. "Let her go first. Otherwise, I'd rather die with her."
Rong Mingxing's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly felt like she couldn't cry anymore.
Reinitz narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Nianzhi. "Are you negotiating with me?"
"If you have something you absolutely must do, you'd better agree to my conditions. Otherwise, all of your hard work will go to waste. "Gu Nianzhi enunciated each word clearly. She was also very anxious.
Her top priority was to get Rong Mingxing away.
If Reinitz really used Rong Mingxing's life to threaten her, Gu Nianzhi really didn't know how far she would go …
"Really? What if I say no? " Reinitz slowly walked to her side and looked down at her with a cold expression. "My patience also has a limit. I won't use it on unnecessary people."
Gu Nianzhi also threw caution to the wind. "Up to you. If you really want me to help you, then let her go first. If you don't let her go, then find someone else. "
"… Can I trust you?" Reinitz said in bewilderment, but he was also despising himself in his heart. It had already come to this, yet he still couldn't bear to hurt her …
"You have to trust me because you have no other choice." Gu Nianzhi finished speaking and walked quickly to Rong Mingxing's side with a sullen expression. She reached out to tear off the tape on her mouth.
