For example, if they went to Africa, they would need a lot of vaccines, such as yellow fever, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus, cholera, and Ebola. If they went to Central and South America, in addition to the aforementioned vaccines, they would also need to get vaccinated against cerebrospinal meningitis, measles, mumps, and chicken pox.
If they went to developed countries like Europe or North America, there would be fewer vaccines, but the mumps, measles, and rubella vaccines were a must.
The two field agents looked at the booklet Ye Zitan had given them and pointed to the mumps, measles, and rubella sections. "I think we've been vaccinated before. Could Dr. Ye please help us check if these vaccines have produced antibodies?"
It was common sense that getting a vaccine didn't necessarily mean it would be effective.
For example, the hepatitis B vaccine couldn't produce antibodies even after being vaccinated several times.
Ye Zitan instantly understood where the two field agents were going. Her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't say anything. She started to do a blood test on them to check their antibodies.
After checking their antibodies and confirming that they had all worked, Ye Zitan stamped them and sent them out.
After they left, Ye Zitan sent a message to a number. "… Mantis is about to move. They should know where Cicada is."
Just as they were struggling, they received Ye Zitan's message and were overjoyed. They immediately replied, "Please inform me of Cicada's whereabouts."
This stumped Ye Zitan. No matter how smart she was, she couldn't hack into the Special Operations Forces' central control system.
So she could only send a message. "… Follow Mantis." Then she sent the photos of the two field agents to the other side.
Following these two was equivalent to following the Huaxia Empire's Nandou satellite positioning and tracking system.
…
In Chen Lie's office, he was smoking alone. The room was filled with smoke, and as soon as Ye Zitan entered, she almost choked on the smoke and started coughing.
She waved her hand to get rid of the smoke. "Dr. Chen, you're smoking like this, and the smoke detector isn't even beeping. Is it malfunctioning?"
"I turned it off," Chen Lie said sullenly. He glanced at Ye Zitan's concerned expression and his mood instantly improved.
He put out the cigarette in the ashtray and raised his hand with a smile. "Fine, I won't smoke anymore! I won't smoke anymore! "
Ye Zitan gently walked over to clean up the ashtray and said softly, "Dr. Chen, this isn't your fault. You've already told Mr. Huo. If he wants to hide it from the higher-ups … "
"Shut up!" Chen Lie hadn't expected Ye Zitan to speak up for him like that and quickly stopped her. Although his heart was warm, he still knew the severity of the situation. He couldn't betray Huo Shaoheng like that.
Ye Zitan blushed at his scolding and quickly put down the ashtray. Tears welled up in her eyes as she choked out, "Dr. Chen, please calm down. I'm leaving …"
She walked quickly out of Chen Lie's office, still wiping away her tears.
Chen Lie was extremely anxious, but after a few steps, he saw that Ye Zitan was walking even faster. He was too embarrassed to continue chasing, so he could only sigh and come back, locking himself in his office.
Moreover, he and Huo Shaoheng had more important things to hide from the higher-ups. This was what he was most worried about.
Thinking about this, Chen Lie's mood worsened. He picked up the phone and called Ye Zitan.
Ye Zitan answered after a while. "Dr. Chen, it was my fault. You're right to scold me."
Her voice was still sobbing and hoarse. Chen Lie felt even more apologetic. He lowered his voice and said, "Dr. … Dr. Ye, it was my fault just now. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. Please don't be angry …"
"I'm not angry …" Ye Zitan sighed. "Dr. Chen, I'm going to look at the documents. Is there anything else?"
Although Chen Lie had a crush on Ye Zitan for a long time, he still didn't know how to get along with her in order to move her heart.
Chen Lie put down the phone dejectedly and closed his eyes. He pushed his own matters to the back of his mind and began to ponder about Gu Nianzhi's past.
This was related to Gu Nianzhi, so he had to let her know in advance. At least he had to know how much Huo Shaoheng had sacrificed for her!
How could he not let her know how much his good brother had done for Gu Nianzhi?
However, Chen Lie dialed Gu Nianzhi's number for a long time and only got the message, "The number you are trying to call is not in the service area."
Chen Lie stared at his phone with a burning gaze. He wanted nothing more than to see through it.
But no matter what, he couldn't get through to Gu Nianzhi.
That was strange.
Huo Shaoheng was on a mission. Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze were also on a mission. Who should he call?
It seemed like Gu Yanran and Gu Nianzhi didn't have a good relationship. Should he ask Gu Yanran?
He might as well wait a little longer …
He put away his phone and stopped dialing Gu Nianzhi's number. He returned to his medical research.
…
Gu Nianzhi had been living with Reinitz in a small villa near the German capital, Berlin, for over ten days.
September was almost over, and October was coming.
In the golden autumn, the red maple trees on the outskirts of Berlin began to turn red. Little daisies of all colors bloomed in the flowerbeds. There were sky blue, purple, pink, snow white, and even emerald green. The small flowerbeds were decorated with bees and butterflies. It was extremely moving.
The weather was neither hot nor cold. It was practically the best season of the year.
However, Gu Nianzhi was visibly thinning out.
She ate a lot every day and didn't exercise much. Logically speaking, she should be gaining weight, but in reality, she was very thin.
Reinitz saw the two dark circles under Gu Nianzhi's big black eyes every morning and knew that she hadn't slept well at night.
She was here, but her heart wasn't, so her mental state was very poor. She was like a walking corpse, and her body was even showing signs of anorexia.
Reinitz was very worried about her health and would find a doctor to check on her every week.
As long as they didn't mention drawing blood, Gu Nianzhi would obediently cooperate with the doctor.
And with Reinitz watching, no doctor dared to mention drawing blood for her.
…
"Reinitz, Cereus's physical indicators are very normal. I don't see any signs of anorexia?" The doctor asked in confusion. "Although the symptoms you described are somewhat similar, the most important thing is, does she vomit after eating?"
The most typical characteristic of anorexic patients was that they vomited immediately after eating. It was almost a physiological reaction, so they didn't actually eat much, so their bodies didn't get the nutrients they needed. Naturally, they were frighteningly thin.
Reinitz was speechless. He thought about it carefully and realized that he really hadn't seen Gu Nianzhi vomit.
She ate a lot at every meal and ate very slowly. In a day, eating was the only way to prove that she was still alive.
But her body didn't show signs of vomiting, which meant that the signs of anorexia weren't obvious. Or perhaps there was another reason for her thinness.
As for what the reason was, Reinitz was very clear.
…
That evening, Als came to "visit" again.
Reinitz took him for a walk in the neighborhood.
The two of them walked slowly on the yellow maple path as they talked about Gu Nianzhi.
Als wore a Bluetooth headset and kept in contact with his subordinates as he walked.
After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and leaned in to ask, "… What does she want to do?"
"… Miss Gu is trying to leave the house from the fence in the backyard …" The voice of the subordinate who was watching Gu Nianzhi came from his headset.
Als was speechless.
Reinitz turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"
Als looked at him with a smile. "Your sweetheart is trying to escape."
Reinitz didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said quietly, "… You have so many people watching. How can she escape?"
Als laughed and shook his head proudly. He whistled and was in an extremely good mood.
Gu Nianzhi's little tricks were only funny to him. He didn't care about them at all.
Reinitz looked at Als calmly and said dryly, "Actually, she will die if you lock her up like this. Can't you see that? Even if you don't kill her, her life is gradually withering away. Is this the kind of person you want? "
Als was stunned. "What do you mean? I'm telling you … "
Reinitz interrupted him and turned to look in the direction of his little villa. "Don't you think? She's getting thinner and weaker. "
When he first saw her, she was also very thin, but she could still tell him that she had a D-cup in high spirits …
And now? She sat there every day like the most beautiful statue and didn't even move her eyes.
"So what? Didn't the doctor say she doesn't have anorexia? "Als didn't understand." Is there something wrong with your brain?! Don't tell me what you want to do?! "
Reinitz smiled, but his smile didn't feel happy at all. It was like a faint scratch on a porcelain statue that had cracked open, revealing the dark bottom layer inside.
The two of them spoke very quietly. On the maple path in the evening, Als had a confused expression on his face. Reinitz's face was cold and emotionless, revealing a kind of indifferent handsomeness like a religion.
After a while, the two of them continued walking. Reinitz looked at him and said, "Alright, what can I do? You're thinking too much. The golden chrysanthemums over there are in bloom. Don't you like them the most? Do you want to go take a look? "
The wild golden chrysanthemums were as gorgeous as little suns and looked even more dazzling under the setting sun.
There were large patches of wild golden chrysanthemums growing on the small hill near his house. Als really liked the view.
"Really? Then we must go take a look. I went a few days ago and they still haven't bloomed. "Als chuckled as he followed Reinitz to the valley he liked.
Walking into the valley full of golden chrysanthemums and looking at the large patches of golden chrysanthemums on the hill, Als smiled like a child. There was no sign of the sly and cunning man he used to be. …
Gu Nianzhi had long discovered a pattern. In the past two weeks, Als had come to see Reinitz more and more often.
Every time he came, the two of them had to go out for a walk for anywhere from half an hour to an hour.
When they left, there would be a lot less people around Reinitz's house. That was because they had all left with Als.
Als' position was very high, so he had a lot of bodyguards with him.
Gu Nianzhi felt that this was an opportunity she could use.
That evening, Als came again and looked very depressed. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Reinitz offered to drink with him.
The two of them went to the dining room. Reinitz prepared some sausages and pork knuckles. First, he pulled Als to drink beer, then red wine, and finally vodka.
Both of them were a bit drunk, and their eyes were sparkling.
When Als was drunk, he would constantly talk. Gu Nianzhi didn't know what he was saying, but his mouth never stopped.
When Reinitz was drunk, he would smile at people. His smile was very gentle, especially when he looked at Gu Nianzhi. His gaze moved slightly, and it was as gentle as a feather gently caressing her heart. It didn't use any force, but his presence couldn't be ignored.
It was like he was using his gaze to caress her.
Unfortunately, Gu Nianzhi was distracted and didn't notice Reinitz's gaze. She kept wondering if Reinitz was really drunk or just pretending to be drunk …
After living with him for so many days, they both understood each other. Also, she wasn't an idiot.
Reinitz was a very capable person. Gu Nianzhi didn't dare to underestimate Reinitz even if she looked down on Als.
Also, she could tell that even though Als said that if she ran away, Reinitz would be implicated, she didn't believe it at all.
Based on the friendship between Als and Reinitz, even if Reinitz really committed a heinous crime, Als would only help him cover it up. He definitely wasn't a person who would put family before righteousness.
Of course, this was only Gu Nianzhi's speculation. As for the truth, it still needed time and facts to prove it.
She had planned this for a long time. She wanted to use her own escape to prove whether or not Als would implicate Reinitz.
If he wouldn't, then she could leave with peace of mind.
If Als was really that deranged, then she couldn't just watch as Reinitz was implicated and his future ruined because of her.
Gu Nianzhi had read a lot about how terrifying the "Gestapo" had been in the past. Huo Shaoheng had given her a lot of information about it.
Today seemed to be a good opportunity.
Gu Nianzhi sat next to Reinitz and continuously poured him wine.
Reinitz's dark blue eyes were as clear as the lake. He looked at her as if there was no tomorrow for him.
Gu Nianzhi finally felt that her left ear was burning from his gaze. She instinctively raised her arm and tilted her head to rub her earlobe.
The diamond stud on her earlobe reflected the double-petaled lotus chandelier in the dining room and emitted a bright red glow. There seemed to be a very faint red light flashing inside.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi didn't see it, but Reinitz did. His dark blue eyes slowly narrowed, although he was still looking at her gently.
He slowly reached out and pinched her earlobe.
Gu Nianzhi quickly dodged to the side and covered her ear. "Why are you pinching my ear?"
Gu Nianzhi's earlobe was very sensitive, and Reinitz's hand was very strong. Although it seemed like he only rubbed it a little, Gu Nianzhi's earlobe was already red from his fingers.
Reinitz put his hand down and couldn't get rid of the smooth and soft texture between his fingers. He felt suffocated and desperately wiped his hand on his pants over and over again.
He was really drunk.
Only when he was really drunk would he dare to do something he had always wanted to do, which was to pinch her earlobe.
