"You specifically sent people to the Soviet Union?" Gu Nianzhi's brows furrowed as she looked thoughtfully at the hall in front of her. "How did you find them?"
Xie Qingying felt that she was going too far. She glanced at Gu Nianzhi and didn't answer her directly. Instead, she asked, "How old is your friend? Why are you so interested in my great-aunt? "
Gu Nianzhi put down the grape juice in her hand. Her emotions were very complicated, but she also felt a little uneasy.
If Xie Ziyan was really dead, she wouldn't have to worry so much.
What if she didn't die?
If she got married and had children in the Soviet Union …
Her eyelids involuntarily twitched twice.
Although she knew that she shouldn't ask so many questions during their first meeting, she still couldn't control herself and confirmed again, "Have you looked for the KGB of the Soviet Union? If you want to find someone, the KGB of the Soviet Union is the real expert. "
Xie Qingying was silent for a long time. She swirled the red wine glass in her hand and said casually, "Of course not … Ask the KGB to help you find someone? You think they're our police department? Do you think they'll do it just because of a random request? "
That was true.
Gu Nianzhi looked away in surprise.
In the other world, she was very familiar with the second-in-command of the Russian KGB, Vladimir, and his driver, Uncle Ivan, so she didn't think it was a big deal to ask the KGB for help.
Now that she thought about it, she had actually benefited from Huo Shaoheng.
The KGB was able to have a good relationship with her because of Huo Shaoheng. Otherwise, how could they recognize her?
Just like Xie Qingying, who was the niece of the Prime Minister, she couldn't even get close to the KGB.
Gu Nianzhi sighed softly and nodded. "I understand. I hope your great-aunt …"
She suddenly stopped talking.
What did she hope for?
Hoping she was dead?
Died before she could marry and have children?
She really couldn't say it.
After all, it was a human life, and it was Xie Qingying's grandaunt.
How shameless would she have to be to say such cruel words in front of others that she wished her great-aunt was dead?
But could she hope that she was still alive?
Didn't that mean there was another Huo Shaoheng here?!
If that was the case, then Huo Shaoheng would never be able to come over!
Then she could only find her own way back …
Gu Nianzhi's mood quickly sank.
Seeing that she was silent, Xie Qingying raised her glass and smiled at her, saying, "Miss Gu, I still have something to do. It's nice to meet you today."
Gu Nianzhi smiled at her. "Miss Xie is approachable and has the demeanor of a socialite."
"You flatter me, Miss Gu." Xie Qingying nodded politely and was led to the podium by her assistant.
On the rostrum in front, the executives of the Lu Corporation had already gone on stage one after another to prepare to speak.
The president and chairman of the Lu Corporation, Lu Yuan, was naturally the first to bear the brunt and stood at the front.
He was tall and stalwart. Standing there in a suit, he exuded a majestic aura. He was not angry, but he was dignified.
This was the unique bearing of someone who had been in a decision-making position for many years.
Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes and looked at the rostrum. She keenly noticed that Lu Yuan's brother, Lu Jin, was standing diagonally behind him and looking at her with bright eyes.
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi was looking over, Lu Jin quietly waved at her.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help smiling.
This Mr. Lu Jin was really interesting.
The hall quietened down, and Lu Yuan began to speak.
The excellent loudspeaker equipment transmitted his voice to all parts of the hall, as intimate and pleasant as if he was speaking in your ear.
After he finished speaking, the partners of the Lu Corporation, the senior officials of H City, and the senators also began to speak.
Gu Nianzhi was not in the mood to listen to their business praises.
She quietly sized up the crowd around her, then quietly moved back and quietly walked towards the entrance of the hall.
Finally, she left the banquet hall while everyone was applauding enthusiastically.
Outside the hall was a wide balcony, and she could see Victoria Harbor in front of her.
The sea view at night was exceptionally moving.
A bright moon hung above the dark blue sky. In the clear water of Victoria Bay, there was also a bright moon shining.
She stood alone on the balcony. Behind her was the bustling hall. The crowd cheered and applauded excitedly.
In front of her was the endless sea. It was a vast expanse of jade, and the waves were calm.
Her thin back looked fragile, but it was extremely resilient. It was like a bamboo pole. The greater the pressure, the stronger the resistance.
She calmly calculated the chips in her hands and planned her future actions.
She didn't want to be trapped here for the rest of her life, but she had to carefully plan how to go back.
Because she wasn't facing an ordinary person, but the entire state apparatus.
She didn't know how long she had been standing there. A gust of sea breeze blew in her face, and Gu Nianzhi felt a little cold.
At this moment, a warm coat was gently draped over her back.
Gu Nianzhi's body trembled. She looked up and saw that Lu Jin had just draped his suit jacket over her.
"Mr. Lu, why did you come out?" Gu Nianzhi turned to look at the banquet hall.
The liveliness there had reached a new height.
Lu Jin put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at the bay in front of him. He frowned and said, "I can't listen to a bunch of idiots flatter each other for more than five minutes a day. Too long will make me depressed and not be good for my mental health."
Gu Nianzhi covered her mouth and laughed. "Mr. Lu, you're really rude. I wonder how many people you'll offend by saying that. "
"I know, so I won't stay in there and offend anyone." Lu Jin glanced at her and saw that the smile on her face was like the epiphyllum in the dark night. It was breathtakingly beautiful and carefree. The depression and irritation he had felt earlier were instantly swept away.
Gu Nianzhi took off Lu Jin's suit jacket and returned it to him. She deliberately said seriously, "Thank you for your suit, Mr. Lu. In order not to make Mr. Lu depressed, I have to go back first. "
Lu Jin took the jacket and was slightly stunned. He quickly said, "I won't be depressed talking to you."
"Huh? Really? " Gu Nianzhi put her hands behind her back and tilted her head. "I'm worried that I'm one of those 'idiots' …"
"No, no, of course you're not!" Lu Jin was a little anxious. "How could you be an idiot? There's no girl smarter than you! "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said bluntly, "Thank you for your insight, Mr. Lu. I think I'm quite smart."
"That's right." Lu Jin put on his suit in satisfaction and walked to the elevator with her. He said, "I hate empty pleasantries the most."
"Smart people must be humble and take the initiative to say that they're stupid. Otherwise, they'll be proud and look down on others."
"Why don't I see those stupid people being honest and admitting that they're stupid? — Hmph! This society is so unfair! "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Uncle Lu, your perspective … is so strange.
The two of them had just entered the elevator when Gu Nianzhi's phone vibrated again.
She took out her phone and swiped it open. It was Bai Shuang.
"Bai Shuang?" Gu Nianzhi picked up the phone.
On the phone, Bai Shuang's voice was different from her usual crisp and clear voice. It was slightly trembling and nervous.
She said in a sobbing voice, "Lawyer Gu, you have to help me. You have to help us!"
"What happened? Who bullied you? "Gu Nianzhi's expression changed slightly. She looked at her watch. It was only past eight o 'clock in the evening.
The Lu Corporation's celebration party had just begun, and H City's nightlife had just begun.
"No, no one bullied me. It's my client … "Bai Shuang lowered her voice." Can you come to my room? We really need a lawyer! Immediately! Immediately! "
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything else. "Okay, I'll be right there."
She put away her phone and looked up to see Lu Jin looking at her curiously. She explained to him, "A friend seems to be in trouble. I have to go help her."
"What friend?" Lu Jin asked quickly. "This is your first time here, and you're unfamiliar with this place. Can you help her?"
"How would I know if I don't try?" Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Lu, that's my friend. She asked me for help, so I can't reject her without even trying."
Lu Jin's eyebrows twitched. He stared at her blankly for a while before looking away. "Then I'll go with you."
Gu Nianzhi wanted to refuse, but Lu Jin said, "I'm a shareholder of the Lu Corporation after all. I can help too."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
Lu Jin saw that Gu Nianzhi didn't seem to trust him, so he immediately said, "… I'm a major shareholder, a very big one. I hold more than 50% of the shares."
He was eager to prove to Gu Nianzhi that he was more capable than Gu Nianzhi and had the resources to help her friend.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said gently, "I know. Thank you, Mr. Lu. I'm even more relieved with your help. As you said, I'm new here and don't know anyone here. It would be best if you could lend a hand. "
She didn't want to go to Bai Shuang's room alone. She would feel more at ease with Lu Jin accompanying her.
Although she had just met Lu Jin, she had a hunch that Lu Jin didn't have any ill intentions towards her, nor was he a bad person.
Her intuition was very accurate, and she had never been wrong.
..
The two of them quickly arrived at Bai Shuang's floor.
After ringing the doorbell, Bai Shuang poked her head out. Seeing that Gu Nianzhi hadn't come alone, she looked at Lu Jin suspiciously and asked, "May I ask who you are …?"
Gu Nianzhi said vaguely, "He's my friend. He knows a lot of people. Maybe he can help you."
Bai Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. "Come in."
Opening the door, the two of them entered.
When they entered Bai Shuang's suite, Gu Nianzhi saw her American client sitting on the sofa with a terrified expression. Her hands were clasped together as she looked at them in shock. She asked in English, "What?
[What are they doing here?]
Bai Shuang explained it to him in English, then looked at Gu Nianzhi and said, "… Dresden just told me that he's an employee of the US Department of Homeland Security."
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Lu Jin's eyes flashed slightly, and he pulled Gu Nianzhi to sit down opposite Dresden.
Bai Shuang sat next to Dresden. All the blood had drained from her face, and even her lips were slightly pale. "… I've caused trouble."
Gu Nianzhi looked at her. "Don't panic. Speak slowly. As long as you didn't do anything wrong, it's not a big deal even if the sky falls down. "
Bai Shuang was about to cry. "… He took a lot of important information from the US Department of Homeland Security. Now, the CIA knows that he has come to H City, and I heard that they have already issued a secret kill order! "
