Zhao Liangze grinned and winked at her, then nodded to Huo Shaoheng and said respectfully, "Mr. Huo, you're here."
He was on a mission and didn't salute when he saw Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him with a smile.
His body was much stronger, and his face was darker than before. However, in Huo Shaoheng's eyes, he looked much better and more manly than Zhao Liangze used to.
Men should be like this.
Huo Shaoheng patted his shoulder. "… You've worked hard."
Zhao Liangze was on the verge of tears at Huo Jinyao's words.
He hurriedly blinked his eyes and suppressed the sudden surge of tears.
"It's not hard. It's … it's what I should do." Zhao Liangze's voice was a little choked. He took a suitcase from Huo Shaoheng and turned to leave. "Follow me, the car is over there."
Huo Shaoheng didn't want Zhao Liangze to pick him up at the airport.
However, when they told Zhao Liangze that they were coming to Cape Town, Zhao Liangze insisted on coming to pick them up.
Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to agree when he saw how pitiful Zhao Liangze looked in the video.
He had always been a reserved person and would not express his emotions so obviously. However, when others were agitated, he would still give them an appropriate amount of respect.
Gu Nianzhi hadn't seen Zhao Liangze for a long time. She knew he was on a mission, but she didn't know that his mission was in Cape Town.
Could it have something to do with her father?
However, Zhao Liangze had been away on a mission for several months. How could Huo Shaoheng have known that her father's whereabouts were related to Cape Town?
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but glance at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng held her hand and looked at her deeply. His voice was low and magnetic. "… Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?"
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and said playfully, "That's such a coincidence …"
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips. His gaze swept past her plump, curvy lips, and he didn't say anything else.
Whether it was really a coincidence or not, he would have to investigate to find out.
To be honest, the more they investigated, the less hope Huo Shaoheng had of Gu Xiangwen's survival.
However, seeing how excited she was, Huo Shaoheng couldn't bear to pour cold water on her.
They got into the car and sped towards the hotel that Zhao Liangze had booked for them.
Cape Town was also an international metropolis facing the Atlantic Ocean. It had a magnificent sea view and many five-star hotels.
This time, Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi were disguised as an engaged couple on vacation. Zhao Liangze had helped them choose a very luxurious apartment-style hotel.
This apartment-style hotel was called Lowhill, and it was located near Victoria Beach. Each apartment had its own small outdoor swimming pool, and the interior design was modern and minimalist. It was low-key yet luxurious, and the details were exquisite.
Huo Shaoheng had a feeling that Gu Nianzhi would like this style.
As expected, when Zhao Liangze drove them to the apartment, Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened.
"The houses here are so beautiful!" Gu Nianzhi spread her arms, closed her eyes, and looked up at the sky to take a deep breath. Even the air was salty and fresh, unique to the sea breeze.
The sky was dark blue, without a single cloud. Where the sea met the sky, it was so blue that one couldn't even see the boundary.
The entire apartment area was built on the bay. Looking up, one could see the blue sky, and looking down, one could see the clear water. There were tropical banana trees planted on the fine white sand by the door.
What was even rarer was that the outdoor swimming pool didn't have the pungent smell of chlorine.
Zhao Liangze saw Gu Nianzhi staring intently at the small swimming pool in the courtyard and smiled. "I heard that the pool water here is brought directly from the Atlantic Ocean. The water is changed every day, so it's very clean and hygienic without chlorine. "
Gu Nianzhi understood this principle well. She understood it very well.
She nodded, happy but also a little regretful. "… It's a pity that the swimming pool is too small. Is this a swimming pool? I think it's a spa.
tub。”
"You can also use it as a spa.
Tub, there's a heating button here. When you want to take a hot bath at night, just turn it on to warm it up. "
This apartment-style hotel was specially chosen by Zhao Liangze for Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng.
Because the rent exceeded the budget, Zhao Liangze had to pay out of his own pocket.
While Huo Shaoheng went into the room to put the luggage away, Zhao Liangze touched Gu Nianzhi's head with emotion. "Have fun here with Huo Shao. Think of it as an early wedding gift from Brother Ze. Treat it as your honeymoon."
He winked at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi blushed and smiled calmly. "We're very busy. How can we have time for a honeymoon? Brother Ze, don't talk nonsense about things that have no shadow. "
"Okay, okay, I'll stop." Zhao Liangze nodded with a smile and gave her an "I understand" look. "Have a good rest today. I'll take you to my island for a vacation tomorrow!"
"Your island?" Huo Shaoheng's voice sounded behind Zhao Liangze. "Then should I call you the Island Lord?"
Zhao Liangze chuckled and turned to Huo Shaoheng. "Huo Shao, I just told Nianzhi to have fun here and treat it as a honeymoon in advance."
Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat, but when he saw Gu Nianzhi look away, he suppressed the thought and slapped Zhao Liangze. "What nonsense are you talking about? We have a mission this time. "
Zhao Liangze's cheeky smile immediately disappeared when he mentioned the mission. He almost saluted Huo Shaoheng.
He said seriously, "I understand. Huo Shao, please give me instructions."
"Don't rush. We'll talk at your base tomorrow." Huo Shaoheng patted his shoulder meaningfully. "You're staying here today?"
Although he said he was inviting him to stay, his eyes clearly said, "If you dare agree, you're dead meat."
In fact, the service-style apartment Zhao Liangze rented for them had three bedrooms. It could accommodate two more people.
But when Zhao Liangze saw Huo Shaoheng's eyes, he understood everything.
He immediately resumed his cheeky smile and shook his head. "No, no, no, I'm used to living on an island. It's too comfortable here. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if it's too noisy at night …"
As he spoke, he already ran away with a smile before Huo Shaoheng raised an eyebrow and kicked him.
As he ran, he waved in the air without looking back. He shouted, "Nianzhi! Rest well! I'll pick you up tomorrow! "
He ran out of the apartment area and walked along the narrow bridge over the sea to the parking lot.
He got into the car and quickly drove out.
As soon as he drove onto the main road, Zhao Liangze suddenly saw a tall woman in a red dress in the rearview mirror.
The red dress fluttered in the wind and was very eye-catching in the blue sky and clear water.
In a flash, he saw the woman's face. She was wearing large sunglasses, and only her tall nose and bright red lips could be seen. She was so plump that she didn't look like an Asian.
That figure, that face, it looked so familiar!
Zhao Liangze was shocked and hurriedly braked. When he looked in the rearview mirror again, the woman in the red dress had disappeared.
His heart was pounding, and he was so nervous that his hands and feet were sweating. His breathing was rapid, and for a moment, he felt weak in his legs and almost couldn't drive.
Why did that woman look so much like Bai Shuang, who often appeared in his dreams?
Could it be that what he thought about during the day was what he dreamed about at night?
Zhao Liangze calmed himself down before stepping on the accelerator and continuing to drive forward.
This apartment-style hotel was located in the suburbs near the sea and belonged to the upscale wealthy area.
However, the urban area couldn't be compared to the wealthy areas in the suburbs.
The streets were bumpy, and the houses were dilapidated. Occasionally, there were a few tall convention and exhibition centers that supported the facade.
Cape Town's current appearance was like a microcosm of the country.
Once a developed country, it was now inferior to even a third-rate country.
Zhao Liangze drove uneasily and entered the main road leading out of the city to the harbor.
After driving for a while, he saw the woman in the red dress get out of a taxi again. She carried a delicate Chanel bag and stood on the side of the road looking at her phone.
At this moment, a black man suddenly rushed over on a skateboard from behind. As he passed by the woman in the red dress, he quickly reached out and snatched her phone!
"Give it back to me!" The woman blurted out in Mandarin, then changed it to English, "Help!"
Most of the passersby were black. Everyone looked at her coldly, and no one chased after the robber who ran away on the skateboard.
Zhao Liangze saw that the woman was still chasing after him in high heels, and he couldn't help it anymore. He stepped on the accelerator and chased after her with a bang!
