Gu Nianzhi happily held onto Huo Shaoheng's arm as they entered their rented serviced apartment.
It was already afternoon, and the sun was scorching hot at two or three o 'clock. Gu Nianzhi's little face was flushed, and her forehead was slightly peeling.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her face. "… You didn't use sunscreen?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
After so many things had happened and so many clues had been obtained, was it really okay for Huo Shao to only focus on sunscreen?!
However, he was still elated.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and rolled her eyes. "I'll definitely use it tomorrow."
Zhao Liangze followed them in and overheard them talking about sunscreen. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. When I first came here, I was sure I couldn't tan. Now all of you have seen it … "
He pointed to his dark, wheat-colored skin.
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
She covered her face and ran to the master bedroom. "I'm going to apply a facial mask!"
I hope it's not too late to make amends.
After sending Gu Nianzhi away, Huo Shaoheng quietly discussed their arrangements with Zhao Liangze.
"… There are a lot of people on the other side. It's confirmed that Li Dexi is leading the team. He should be harder to deal with than Reinitz. "
Zhao Liangze's heart was dead. He was not nervous or afraid at all.
"It doesn't matter. We're going to the sixth floor of the bank's basement anyway. No matter how many people they have, can they all go down?"
Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi had carefully studied the topographic map of the basement and discovered that the only way to get to the basement from above was through the elevator.
This meant that they had to take control of the elevator first.
Moreover, the elevator was very small and could not carry enough weight. It could only carry four people at a time. Any more and the elevator would be overweight and automatically stop working.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head solemnly. "They've been planning this for a long time. They must have gone down there."
Zhao Liangze opened his mouth and said gloomily, "What should we do?"
He didn't want to die before he succeeded. No matter what, he had to find the item and send Gu Nianzhi out first.
"Is it Bai Shuang?" Zhao Liangze gritted his teeth. "Why don't we … we … control her first …"
Huo Shaoheng shook his head again and said calmly, "Bai Shuang was their bait. If we make a move on Bai Shuang, what if we alert the enemy? "
"Are we just going to let them do what they want?" Zhao Liangze's expression darkened even further. "They have so many people. If we're not careful, we'll suffer heavy casualties even if we don't get wiped out."
Huo Shaoheng patted him on the shoulder and smiled. "That won't happen. Don't be so pessimistic."
Gu Nianzhi had just finished applying her facial mask and walked out. She listened one last time and knew it was very dangerous this time.
But because Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze were by her side, she actually didn't feel much danger.
To her, danger was always relative.
Sitting down next to Huo Shaoheng, Gu Nianzhi said calmly, "Their target, other than the contents of the safe, is probably me."
Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze looked at her together, their faces expressionless.
Zhao Liangze clicked his tongue. "Nianzhi, can we not be so shameless? The target is you? Are you sure? Do you think you're a gold reserve or the biggest diamond on the Blue Planet? "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Huo Shaoheng was worried about adding to Gu Nianzhi's psychological burden, so he also comforted her. "Their main target this time isn't you. It's me."
"!!!"
Was that supposed to be comforting?!
She was even more nervous now!
Gu Nianzhi immediately grabbed Huo Shaoheng's lapel and frowned. "Then why aren't you leaving?! Are you going to stay here and let them make a nest of dumplings?! "
"There's no one in this world who wants to make a nest of dumplings out of me." Huo Shaoheng saw that Gu Nianzhi was even more nervous, and he couldn't describe what he was feeling.
In this girl's heart, he would always be more important than herself, right?
He tightened his grip on Gu Nianzhi's shoulder.
Gu Nianzhi's shoulder was a little painful from Huo Shaoheng's grip, but she didn't care. She looked at Huo Shaoheng intently and said with heartache, "It looks like they've been planning this for a long time. Huo Shao, let's avoid it …"
They were unfamiliar with this place. Even if Huo Shaoheng and the others were prepared, Gu Nianzhi felt that it would still be very dangerous.
Who could guarantee that there would be no accidents in such a situation?
Huo Shaoheng smiled lightly and leaned over to kiss the back of her hand. "It's okay. Little Ze and I know what to do. Don't worry. Go and rest. We might not be able to sleep tonight. "
Gu Nianzhi looked at Zhao Liangze and saw him nod slightly. She knew that they were going to talk business, and it wasn't appropriate for her to listen too much.
"Okay, I'll go sleep for a while. Remember not to be too careless." Gu Nianzhi touched the mask on her face and regretted that she couldn't kiss Huo Shaoheng.
She returned to the master bedroom and, of course, couldn't fall asleep.
Taking out her phone, she opened the topographic map of the bank and carefully looked at the situation in the basement.
From the vertical section, the bank basement had six floors and was a rectangular shape that went straight up and down.
The safe that her father had rented was placed in an inconspicuous corner at the bottom.
If the other party had been prepared, where would they be lying in ambush?
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened as she looked for a place to hide, but it didn't take long before she yawned and fell asleep.
Gu Nianzhi really wasn't interested in looking at the topographic map.
…
In the living room outside, the doorbell rang. Huo Shaoheng also stood up. "Someone's here to deliver food. I ordered it. I'll blend in with them and leave. We'll meet up at the bank."
Huo Shaoheng hadn't thought of using a substitute this time.
He had used himself as bait to trick the cunning Li Dexi into coming personally.
If he used a substitute, it would be too dangerous, and there was almost a 99% chance that the substitute wouldn't come back alive.
He wasn't the kind of boss who would say, "Leave the danger to me and leave the honor to me." He couldn't do such a heartless thing.
Moreover, Li Dexi was paranoid by nature and had previously changed plans at the last second during an operation. Therefore, Huo Shaoheng was determined not to use a substitute.
He wanted to create the effect of "appearing and disappearing like a ghost" so that Li Dexi would be convinced of his arrival.
Because Li Dexi was certain that only Huo Shaoheng himself could escape his surveillance from time to time.
If he couldn't even escape his surveillance, Li Dexi would doubt whether Huo Shaoheng was the real Huo Shaoheng.
Zhao Liangze had never doubted Huo Shaoheng's style of taking the lead. He was the kind of chief who "followed me" on the battlefield, not an officer who ordered others to "follow me."
He nodded and asked Huo Shaoheng to go into the inner room to change while he went to open the door.
Outside the courtyard door, a group of black men in white uniforms pushed a dining cart. They smiled at Zhao Liangze and said in English, "Hello, the food you ordered has been delivered."
Zhao Liangze opened the courtyard door and said with a smile, "Please come in."
After the black men came in, Zhao Liangze saw a woman in a red dress standing behind them. It was Bai Shuang.
She looked at Zhao Liangze with a smile and said, "I'm here to freeload again. Do you need my help?"
"I don't need your help to eat, and you can't help with anything else." Zhao Liangze's eyes flashed as he teased Bai Shuang.
"How do you know I can't help if you don't try?" Bai Shuang came uninvited and took the initiative to take his arm intimately. "Let's go inside and talk."
Zhao Liangze stood motionless with his hands in his trouser pockets. He stared fixedly at Bai Shuang's delicate and beautiful face, then suddenly lowered his head and pecked her on the lips. He whispered in her ear, "Are you sure you want to come in?"
Bai Shuang was so flustered by his kiss that she almost lost her composure.
It took a lot of effort to calm down. Bai Shuang smoothed her hair with her hand and looked at Zhao Liangze with a faint smile. "Of course I'm sure. Otherwise, why would I run over here myself?"
Zhao Liangze stopped talking and turned to enter the door.
Bai Shuang followed him in.
The dining room inside was originally quite large, but because of the seven or eight tall black waiters, the spacious dining room suddenly became small.
Bai Shuang watched these people bustle about in the dining room before she placed the food on the long dining table.
"You guys are going to have a buffet!" Bai Shuang clicked her tongue. "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Zhao Liangze smiled. "Of course, we are all foodies. We can eat until we're full."
After setting the plates, a few black waiters stayed to serve them.
Several other black waiters pushed the dining cart out.
Huo Shaoheng had already blended in with them. He disguised himself as a black man and left with them.
Because this group of people was so dark, almost no one paid attention to what their facial features looked like.
Huo Shaoheng didn't alarm anyone and quietly left the restaurant area.
…
Bai Shuang pushed a can of beer to Zhao Liangze and asked casually, "Did you find the safe?"
"We found it, but it's useless," Zhao Liangze said bluntly. "We don't have any credentials, so there's no way for the bank to open the safe for us."
Not only could they not open it, but they didn't even have a chance to get close.
Bai Shuang's eyes flashed and she whispered, "I know that bank executive. Why don't we ask him?"
"A bank executive who can be summoned at your beck and call?" Zhao Liangze sneered. "Bai Shuang, I haven't seen you for a few months. Your ability to talk has improved."
"You don't believe me?" Bai Shuang smiled faintly and took out her phone. "I'll make a call and see if he comes."
"Why would he come? Because you're so beautiful? "Zhao Liangze rolled his eyes.
"Yes, because I'm beautiful. He's chasing me and lives nearby. "Bai Shuang didn't want to show weakness and stabbed Zhao Liangze with words.
Not long after the call was made, the doorbell outside the door rang again.
Bai Shuang smiled and got up. "He's here. I'll go pick him up."
With that, she walked out leisurely like the hostess.
The corners of Zhao Liangze's mouth twitched and he slammed the table.
