Huo Shaoheng was 1.88 meters tall and was a soldier. Whether he was standing or sitting, he always had a standard military posture, the kind that could be used in textbooks.
But this time, he bent his long legs in the spacious back seat of the Jeep and slightly tilted his shoulder towards Gu Nianzhi. He didn't sit properly and was only trying to make her sleep as comfortable as possible.
Actually, Huo Shaoheng's muscles were strong and hard no matter how relaxed he was. Leaning against him wasn't actually comfortable.
But to Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng's shoulder was the most reassuring place.
But at this time, Huo Shaoheng only calmly looked straight ahead without any expression on his face.
But He Zhichu saw very clearly that Huo Shaoheng's arm had already wrapped around Gu Nianzhi's waist and was gently supporting her from behind.
Huo Shaoheng only did this to prevent Gu Nianzhi from sleeping soundly during the bumpy ride.
He Zhichu looked at them coldly and pursed his lips as he looked out the window.
Because of the power outage, there weren't even any street lights on New Delhi's highway. They completely relied on the Jeep's headlights for illumination.
It was pitch-black on both sides outside the window, with only the occasional car headlight passing by and leaving a line of light on their retinas.
But at this time, there weren't many cars on the highway.
Everyone was busy exchanging money at the bank during the day, so they should all be going home to count their money now.
He Zhichu propped one elbow on the window and supported his chin with the back of his hand. After a moment of silence, he asked quietly, "… How are you going to deal with Reinitz? Are you going to kill him? "
Huo Shaoheng looked at He Zhichu strangely. "He's not a mercenary. How can I just kill him like that?"
He was the head of the Gestapo in a large country after all.
"Haha, you're so generous. I really underestimated you." He Zhichu crossed his arms and sneered. "That's right. As long as it can help you complete the mission, you'll pay any price, including your girlfriend or wife, right?"
No matter how well-mannered Huo Shaoheng was, he was still angered by these words.
But even if he was angry, no one could read anything from his expression.
"Professor He, I'll take it that you spoke without thinking because of Nianzhi today. Nianzhi and I both forgive you. But I don't want to hear it a second time. " He turned to look at He Zhichu, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion. They were so cold that it made people shudder.
Of course, He Zhichu wasn't afraid of him, but he was still satisfied with his attitude.
He snorted softly, "Do you think I'm willing to say that? I don't want to see Nianzhi fall in love with scum! "
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's eyes twitched, and his fingers trembled slightly. He actually had the instinct to pull out his gun …
He tried hard to restrain himself from saying more things that he shouldn't say.
The yellow camouflage jeep sped on the highway. After more than ten minutes, the tension between the two gradually eased.
He Zhichu glanced at Gu Nianzhi's sleeping form and asked Huo Shaoheng in a low voice, "How do you plan to explain this to Speaker Long?"
This was Huo Shaoheng's own business, so he didn't plan on telling He Zhichu. He calmly changed the topic to Reinitz. "… I've arranged everything over there. But this time, because of Reinitz, we still fell short of success. "
"Failed at the last moment? What else do you want? " He Zhichu's brows furrowed again, and a trace of disdain flashed in his shimmering, sultry eyes. "For the sake of your stupid plan, you put Nianzhi in such an unbearable situation! I'm telling you, if it weren't for Nianzhi, I wouldn't have participated in your stupid plan even if you beat me to death. "
"Stupid?" Huo Shaoheng was a bit surprised, and his sharp eyes stared at He Zhichu. "Is this how you view this plan? I thought you wanted to help Nianzhi. "
He Zhichu, "…"
He suddenly looked away, no longer looking at Gu Nianzhi's sleeping face.
He secretly clenched his fists to calm the tumultuous emotions in his heart. He said coldly, "Yes, I wanted to help Nianzhi. That's all."
It didn't include helping Huo Shaoheng build a career.
Huo Shaoheng always felt that He Zhichu was implying something, but he couldn't ask him why.
He had this feeling for a long time, but if he really wanted to ask, He Zhichu wouldn't say a word, even if it was for Gu Nianzhi.
Huo Shaoheng's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but he quickly relaxed and said calmly, "That's good. We finally have the same goal. Speaking of Reinitz, why did he want Nianzhi to help him find something? And what was that note about? "
He Zhichu shook his head. "You'll have to ask Nianzhi about that. I wasn't there at the time, so I don't know at all."
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him and saw that He Zhichu was completely calm. It didn't seem like he was faking it at all, and he didn't have any psychological burden either. Huo Shaoheng was secretly puzzled.
He was about to ask again when Gu Nianzhi began to moan in her sleep.
He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng quickly stopped talking.
Huo Shaoheng patted her back to calm her down, and she went back to sleep.
Gu Nianzhi was still sound asleep when they arrived at He Zhichu's apartment.
They were about to get out of the car. Huo Shaoheng hesitated for a moment, but He Zhichu had already carried Gu Nianzhi horizontally in his arms and walked up the stairs to his apartment.
He Zhichu's villa was located in the wealthy district of the capital of this country. It was a pure white European-style building and was tightly surrounded by a perimeter wall. There were two large carved iron gates at the entrance.
Their car drove straight through the big iron gate and stopped in front of the four-story main villa in the courtyard.
Reinitz got out of the car behind them and squinted at the house.
If it weren't for the tape on his mouth, he would have whistled.
He watched He Zhichu carry Gu Nianzhi into the main door of the mansion and was slightly surprised.
Could Gu Nianzhi be injured?
He couldn't help but follow the two mercenaries who were escorting him inside.
Huo Shaoheng was still by He Zhichu's side as the leader of the mercenaries.
He Zhichu carried Gu Nianzhi to the master bedroom on the third floor and said to Huo Shaoheng without turning his head, "I don't care about Reinitz anymore. You can do whatever you want."
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
He crossed his arms and thought for a moment before nodding. "Ok, I'll take over. But you can't stay here. "
He Zhichu snickered and put his hands in his pockets. "Huo Shao, you have to understand that this is my territory, not yours. What right do you have to order me around? "
Huo Shaoheng replied calmly, "It's up to Nianzhi. She won't be happy to see you in the same bedroom as her when she wakes up. "
"You –!" He Zhichu was so angry at Huo Shaoheng's words that he couldn't refute.
Because Gu Nianzhi really did have that attitude towards him …
"Huo Shaoheng! I'm warning you! Don't think that you can use Nianzhi completely just because she's dead set on you! I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, don't even think about using her! " He Zhichu pointed a finger at Huo Shaoheng and tapped the air a few times in a very imposing manner before turning to leave.
Huo Shaoheng stood in the room where Gu Nianzhi was sleeping for a while before taking a deep breath and turning to leave.
He Zhichu had already gone to the guest room next door to rest and hadn't even eaten dinner.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't be bothered to continue talking to him. He went to arrange for someone to cook and went to the room where Reinitz was being held.
Reinitz was locked up in a small guest room on the basement level.
The guest room had no windows and only one door to enter and exit.
The furnishings inside were also very simple. There was only a bed, a desk, and a chair, as well as a simple bathroom with a shower.
When Huo Shaoheng entered, Reinitz was sitting on the chair and stretching his muscles.
The ropes on his body had been removed and the tape on his mouth had been removed, but his hands and feet were shackled.
Huo Shaoheng didn't dare be careless when it came to Reinitz.
Reinitz had just gone to the bathroom to relieve himself and stayed there for a few minutes to observe the situation around him. In the end, he discovered that it was basically impossible to escape.
He was trying to think of a way to contact the people outside when he heard the door open. He turned to see the bearded mercenary leader with a hooked nose walk in.
He smiled and nodded at him, then asked him in Chinese, "Which company's mercenary are you? How come I've never seen you before? "
Although Huo Shaoheng already knew from Gu Nianzhi that Reinitz could speak Chinese, he still looked surprised and seemed very surprised.
He froze for a moment before replying in Chinese with a Southeast Asian accent, "I'm a small company that I found myself. I work for Mr. He to make a living."
He purposely had a Southeast Asian accent in his Chinese because that was the place that produced the most Chinese mercenaries.
Reinitz discreetly inquired about the mercenary leader's background. Huo Shaoheng was already prepared, so he naturally made up a well-reasoned story. He wasn't afraid that Reinitz would investigate because every piece of information could be verified.
However, Reinitz wasn't so gullible. He asked around and was still skeptical. In the end, he said, "What exactly does your boss want?"
This was exactly what Huo Shaoheng wanted.
He immediately said, "You kidnapped our boss's people, so of course our boss won't let you go. Our boss wants me to ask you, why do you have designs on Miss Gu? How did Miss Gu offend you? "
"Offend?" Reinitz shrugged. "She offended me in many ways, but I didn't harm her. Otherwise, you can ask her."
"Really? Our boss also wants to know why you went to the Taj Mahal to look for something. Does the thing you're looking for have anything to do with Miss Gu? "
"Let your boss ask me. I don't talk to small fries like you about this kind of thing." Reinitz became arrogant and ignored Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng had actually pretended to be He Zhichu's subordinate to interrogate Reinitz in order to test He Zhichu and Reinitz.
In fact, with Gu Nianzhi there, he didn't need to know what they were up to from Reinitz.
Now that he realized the relationship between the two of them was a bit subtle, Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
After leaving the room, he personally locked Reinitz's room and carried the key with him. He also ordered the two field agents disguised as mercenaries to guard the room carefully and never speak to Reinitz.
After arranging the security in the basement, Huo Shaoheng returned to Gu Nianzhi's bedroom upstairs.
As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Nianzhi staring at him from the bed.
"You're awake?" Huo Shaoheng smiled as he walked over. "Are you hungry? I arranged for someone to cook dinner. "
