Lorraine's brows twitched as he wondered what was going on with Wen Shouyi. Did she know Reinitz's true identity?
That was impossible …
Reinitz's true identity was a top secret, and even the average CIA agent didn't know.
Lorraine remembered that he had only mentioned that Reinitz was a friend and a German public official. He hadn't said anything else …
Thus, he calmly asked, "What do you mean? What is Reinitz's true identity? Do you know something that I don't? "
Wen Shouyi regretted it so much that she wanted to bite her tongue.
She groaned inwardly. How could she have gotten carried away and blurted this out?
But seeing Gu Nianzhi sitting in the private room on the second floor, whispering to Reinitz, and occasionally covering her face to hide her smile and putting on a pretentious act was too jarring.
Lorraine saw Wen Shouyi staring in Gu Nianzhi's direction without speaking, so his expression darkened. "Miss Wen, you're already a member of the Lorraine Group. Do you still want to keep secrets from me, the chairman?"
Wen Shouyi composed herself and knew she had to be careful. Also, she didn't know what Reinitz's true identity was. What if it was different from the other side?
But even if it was different, Gu Nianzhi definitely recognized this person as Reinitz and was already on guard against him.
No matter what Lorraine and Reinitz's plan was, it definitely wouldn't succeed.
They didn't know that Gu Nianzhi looked as cute and harmless as a white rabbit, but she was actually cunning and extremely intelligent …
Wen Shouyi suddenly had an idea and felt like she had an obligation to remind Lorraine. This could be considered her "proof of allegiance."
She turned to look at Lorraine with a smile and blinked at him, fluttering her long and thick eyelashes. "Mr. Lorraine, did you forget what I used to do?"
Lorraine was speechless.
He didn't forget, he didn't even know!
Who would care about what a lab rat used to do?
Not to mention a lab rat that "failed" in an experiment and was abandoned in an orphanage.
But Lorraine didn't show it at all. His smile remained elegant and calm as he said gently, "I'd like to hear the details."
Wen Shouyi found a good excuse for herself and said vaguely, "I used to be the personal secretary of Major General He Zhichu of the Hua Xia Empire and was also a member of their secret forces. We have this Mr. Reinitz in our files. You should know his true identity better than me, right? "
"Oh? Really? "Lorraine looked at her doubtfully." Can you be more specific? What's his real identity in your files? "
Wen Shouyi raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You don't know? Mr. Lohler? Isn't he your friend? "
"Yes, he's my friend. I also know that he's a public official in Germany. That's all." Löhler spoke flawlessly and repeated his introduction yesterday.
Wen Shouyi came back to her senses and weighed the pros and cons in her mind. She decided to take a gamble and pretend that the Reinitz on this side had the same status as the Reinitz on the other side. If she was wrong, she could say that the Huaxia Empire's information was wrong …
With that thought in mind, Wen Shouyi gathered her courage and said, "Mr. Lohler, to be honest with you, in the database of the Hua Xia Imperial Secret Forces, this Mr. Reinitz is an elite agent of the German Federal Intelligence Agency. He's also the successor to the head of the agency, right?"
Lor's heart shuddered, and his expression changed.
Such a secret identity had actually been discovered by the Huaxia Empire!
"Then what about Gu Nianzhi? How did she know? "Löhler's voice grew anxious.
Wen Shouyi's heart calmed down and she knew she had made the right bet. The smile on her face became even more relaxed as she said dryly, "She used to be Major General He Zhichu's fiancée. Even I know that, so how could she not know?"
Löhler's expression was uncertain. He didn't know whether to believe Wen Shouyi or not.
Wen Shouyi saw this and rolled her eyes. She suggested, "How about this? You call Mr. Reinitz out first and tell him everything. That way, he'll be prepared and won't be affected no matter what your plan is. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way to emerge victorious … "
Löhler couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly stood up and said, "I have to go out for a bit. Please wait a moment, Miss Wen."
He left the private room and returned to his car. He closed all the windows and ordered the bodyguards to stand guard around the car while he began contacting Reinitz.
Reinitz had just finished explaining the rules and logic of setting up the key to Gu Nianzhi's game.
Because Gu Nianzhi was more meticulous and sensitive, Reinitz had to use all his skills to answer Gu Nianzhi's endless questions. He spoke until he was thirsty.
He picked up a bottle of Vita water and began to gulp it down.
At that moment, the miniature Bluetooth headset he had hidden in his ear rang.
Reinitz calmly accepted the call and coughed softly.
Löhler heard the cough and knew the call had gone through. He immediately lowered his voice and said, "Oh no, Gu Nianzhi is putting on an act! I just received news that she doesn't recognize you at all! She knows your true identity! "
Alarm bells went off in Reinitz's mind, but his expression didn't change at all. He quietly grunted to indicate he was listening.
"I'm telling the truth! Our plan needs to change immediately! Our target has always been her, but not only is she not afraid, she's even pretending not to know you and approaching you step by step!
If I'm not wrong, Gu Nianzhi has someone backing her! I don't know what they're planning by letting her get close to us! "
Löhler's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He had originally wanted to set up a trap to capture Gu Nianzhi or even get a sample of her DNA. He never imagined that he would become someone else's prey …
This feeling of the hunter becoming the hunted was so f * cking terrible!
Löhler muttered a curse and kicked the seat in front of him.
…
Reinitz heard the beeping sound from his Bluetooth headset. The call was over.
His expression froze, and his cold eyes looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was sitting next to him.
Gu Nianzhi felt a bit hot. She took out a pack of tissues from her pocket and gently pressed it against her forehead to dry the sweat bit by bit.
Reinitz suddenly reached out with a smile. "… Let me help you."
Gu Nianzhi's wrist silently circled around to avoid Reinitz's reaching hand.
Reinitz slowly withdrew his hand and took a sip of his Vita water. He smiled and said, "Miss Gu, have you been to Germany before?"
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "No, I rarely go abroad."
She then asked curiously, "Why would Mr. Reinitz ask that? Do I look like someone who has been to Germany before? I don't even speak German … "
Actually, she did. She had practiced her spoken German quite well.
Reinitz smiled meaningfully and leaned very close to her to whisper in her ear, "… But I feel like old friends with Miss Gu at first sight. If Miss Gu hasn't been to Germany before, then maybe my feeling is wrong. "
"Feeling like old friends at first sight doesn't mean we've met before." Gu Nianzhi patiently explained to Reinitz the meaning of the idiom "feeling like old friends at first sight". "It means that meeting for the first time feels like an old friend. This is fate."
She felt something was wrong after she finished speaking, but didn't think too much about it. She was secretly on guard as her eyes wandered around the audience to search for familiar figures.
However, Huo Shaoheng and the others hid themselves so well that Gu Nianzhi didn't notice any of them. They were the two people she was familiar with.
She didn't care and looked at the stage. "The opera is starting, right?"
Reinitz nodded, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. He said dryly, "It's starting right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the theater dimmed.
Reinitz looked down silently and took out his phone to send out a few commands.
…
At that moment, Lorraine had already returned to his private room on the third floor and returned to his normal self. He told Wen Shouyi about the company's situation with a smile on his face and expressed his sincere joy at her arrival.
Wen Shouyi understood that Lorraine must have gone out to rearrange his men to deal with Gu Nianzhi. She was indescribably happy.
She chatted happily with Lorraine and had her own unique insights in all aspects.
Lorraine secretly nodded and thought that Wen Shouyi was indeed a talent. No wonder she had the closest "perfect genes."
After the lights in the theater dimmed, the two of them didn't speak anymore and looked towards the stage.
At that moment, only the direction of the stage was lit up in the entire theater.
On the set board, the vast Central African prairie was majestic and magnificent. It looked real and made everyone feel as if they were there.
A red sun rose from the set board, a waterfall flowed down, eagles soared in the sky, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance were faintly discernible. Tall giraffes, jubilant cheetahs, running antelopes, and zebras swept past the screen one by one.
Then, the theme music of "The Lion King" began. The heavenly voice echoed in the theater, and everyone's emotions were stirred up.
Huo Shaoheng, who was sitting in the audience, as well as Lu Jin and Lu Yuan, who were sitting in the private room, were instantly attracted by the scene and singing.
A tall man with oil paint on his face and a long scepter in his hand walked onto the stage and chanted "Circle of
He raised his scepter towards the auditorium on the first floor!
Da da da da!
Fire and bullets suddenly shot out from his scepter!
This wasn't a scepter at all, but an AK47!
The people in the theater froze for a moment, and then there was an earth-shattering scream from the audience!
“Help！ Help！”
Everyone shouted, and no one knew how many audience members had fallen into pools of blood.
There was no shelter in the audience on the first floor, so everyone only had time to hide under their seats and shiver.
Gu Nianzhi was so shocked that she jumped up from her seat and rushed to the window of the private room. She watched as the man pulled the trigger without hesitation and slaughtered the unarmed audience.
The security guard of the theater rushed in when he heard the gunshots, but he was knocked down by the man's bullets.
Then, two of his accomplices, dressed in the same attire, stood in the east and west corners of the theater with guns and continued to shoot at the crowd!
Reinitz hugged Gu Nianzhi from behind and said loudly, "You're crazy! Are you standing at the window as a target?! Run for your life! "
As he spoke, he ignored Gu Nianzhi's struggles and carried her out of the private room and ran to the back door.
