When Zhao Liangze said this, his tone was resolute. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were visible.
Gu Nianzhi silently glanced at Zhao Liangze, knowing that this man, who obviously loved Bai Shuang, had given up on treatment …
She didn't directly refute Zhao Liangze's words and just smiled at him. "I hope Brother Ze's wishes come true." With that, she opened the door and jumped out, then waved at Bai Shuang. "Miss Bai, over here!"
Bai Shuang's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Nianzhi, then she looked at the Jeep behind her. Only Zhao Liangze got out, and she seemed a little disappointed. "… It's really just the two of you?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and pretended not to understand what she meant. She fanned herself with her hand and said, "It's so hot. It's almost May, and it's still so hot?"
Cape Town was in the southern hemisphere, and the four seasons were the opposite of the northern hemisphere.
It was the end of April and the beginning of May. In Cape Town, summer had just ended and autumn had entered.
"Maybe it's autumn. Everyone is still wearing clothes like it's summer," Bai Shuang said uneasily. She looked behind Zhao Liangze again before withdrawing her gaze. She smiled at Gu Nianzhi and said, "Which bank do you want to go to first?"
Gu Nianzhi said bluntly, "The one you showed me. I think it's quite unique. I want to see its layout."
"Okay, come with me." Bai Shuang held her hand and turned into the lobby of the bank.
Zhao Liangze was carrying a small travel bag containing water, snacks, essential balm, some band-aids, medicine, and a folding umbrella.
He wore a khaki hunting jacket with a pistol tucked into the pocket of the jacket lining.
Cape Town was a city that allowed guns. For safety reasons, Zhao Liangze had to carry a weapon with him.
He followed Bai Shuang and Gu Nianzhi into the lobby of the bank.
It was afternoon, and there weren't many customers in the bank. As soon as the three of them walked in, they were very eye-catching.
Bai Shuang was bright and beautiful, Gu Nianzhi was delicate, and Zhao Liangze was handsome. It was impossible not to attract attention.
The account manager of the bank immediately came over and asked in English with a smile, "Good afternoon, everyone. How may I help you?"
Bai Shuang immediately looked at Gu Nianzhi. "Do you want to open an account, or do you already have one?"
Gu Nianzhi shook her head with a smile. "I'm just here to visit. I don't need to open an account. I don't have one anyway."
Bai Shuang was very regretful and said, "Alright then, I'll open an account in the future if I have the chance."
She turned down the bank's manager and said, "We were attracted by the architecture here and just wanted to take a look."
So it wasn't a depositor.
The smile on the account manager's face faded a little, and he nodded to them. "Please help yourselves." With that said, he turned around and went back to his office.
Gu Nianzhi looked around the lobby and quickly found the place where the handwritten English poem was hung.
She didn't try to hide it. She hurried over and stood in front of the handwritten English poem with a frown.
Bai Shuang seemed to have just realized Gu Nianzhi's intentions and asked curiously, "… You like this poem very much? I don't think it's anything special … "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She raised her chin and said, "Don't you think that not only does this poem sound very nice to read, but the words are also very nice?"
Bai Shuang glanced at it. "Handwritten English is nice to write."
"Yes, not just anyone can write to this extent." Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes. "Do you know who the original author is?"
Bai Shuang shook her head. "I don't know. How would I know?"
After a while, she couldn't help but ask again, "What's wrong? Is this poem very important? "
"How do you know?" Gu Nianzhi asked casually. Her eyes were almost glued to the poem as she tried to find something different about it.
Bai Shuang laughed. "Look at you. You're so focused. Are you going to tell me that it's just a moment of curiosity?"
Gu Nianzhi looked back at her and said with a smile, "This poem is indeed very interesting, but I can't say whether it's important or not right now."
"What's there to be afraid of? One person is better than two. Tell us, and we'll analyze it together. "Bai Shuang suggested with a smile." Three heads are better than one Zhuge Liang! "
Gu Nianzhi blinked her unusually large eyes and wondered, "Actually, I don't know what's special about it. Maybe this question is too difficult. I think I'll probably never find the answer in my lifetime. "
Bai Shuang seemed a little disappointed. She lowered her head and was silent for a while. "If you don't tell me in detail, how can I help you analyze it?"
Did she really want Gu Nianzhi to say it?
If Bai Shuang had nothing to do with this matter, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't say a word.
But now it was clear that the people behind Bai Shuang knew that the poem was very important to Gu Nianzhi. Maybe they were the people who chased after her from the Taj Mahal.
Therefore, there was no need for her to hide it.
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and said, "Actually, it's like this. My father once left me a poem. It's this one. I suspect there's a special connection between the two, and it indicates something. "
Her words were half true and half false, so no one would doubt it in a short time.
Because the highest standard for a lie was one part truth and nine parts falsehood.
Bai Shuang was taken aback. "Huh? Your father? You found his whereabouts?! "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
She shook her head slowly. "No, I'm looking for him. This poem is one of the clues. "
In fact, Gu Nianzhi had already learned from Reinitz that this poem was not a prediction of Gu Xiangwen himself, but something else, such as data or something.
The data that her grandfather, Gu Haoze, had stolen from the Gestapo headquarters.
It was also something that Reinitz had said the Bureau had been tracking for nearly half a century.
"Oh, that's very important." Bai Shuang spoke in a Northeastern dialect, causing Zhao Liangze to frown.
He remembered that Bai Shuang actually hated the Northeastern dialect and never spoke it before.
Although she was born in the imperial capital, her parents had sent her to live with her grandparents in the northeast for several years when she was a child, so she had learned a pure Northeastern dialect.
Later, when she returned to the imperial capital to attend middle school, she was teased by her classmates for a long time because of her Northeastern dialect.
After that, she refused to speak in Northeastern dialect again.
This time, she actually said it openly in front of him and Gu Nianzhi.
Zhao Liangze couldn't help but look askance.
Bai Shuang seemed oblivious and continued as if nothing had happened. "If this poem is a clue, does it predict a location or an object?"
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help glancing at Bai Shuang and said calmly, "It could be a location, or an object. In fact, other than that, we have no clues at all. "
"I see …" Bai Shuang frowned slightly and nodded. "Then let's continue looking."
Gu Nianzhi smiled without saying anything. She took out her phone and aimed at the handwritten English poem to take photos.
Bai Shuang's eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu Nianzhi and suddenly said, "Nianzhi, do you know how many words and letters this poem has?"
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows. "I know. 86 words and 365 letters. Why?"
