Gu Nianzhi looked sincerely at the woman in front of her.
She could clearly see that this woman had a chivalrous aura, or perhaps it could be called a domineering aura. She was easily protective of weaker people or animals.
She couldn't possibly be indifferent to her pleas.
At this time, Gu Nianzhi felt that asking a stranger for help was even safer than going to Smith and the others.
Who knew if the Trojan horse in Smith's phone was still a sex addict?
If they still hadn't discovered the Trojan horse, then she would be walking right into a trap if she called them.
The blonde woman looked at her again and seemed to have made up her mind.
Gu Nianzhi was delighted.
Hearing someone call her out again, the blonde woman quickly pushed the sofa away to reveal a tunnel under it. She said in English with a German accent, "Go down. We'll talk when I come back."
Gu Nianzhi quickly thanked her and jumped down without another word.
The woman covered the floor and pushed the sofa back. Then, she messed up her hair and loosened her collar, looking as if she had just woken up. She walked out flirtatiously and lit a cigarette in her hand. She said lazily, "What's the matter? Sir? My bar is already closed … But, if you want a drink, I can make one for you myself. "She even winked at the handsome man.
Standing in front of her was a tall, handsome man with feminine features. It was Als.
His eyes were still red, and it was obvious that he was drunk but had been forcefully awakened.
"No need. Let me ask you, has an Asian woman been here before? " Als took out his phone. There was a photo of Gu Nianzhi that he had taken at some point in time.
She was sitting on the bay window. Her white veil fluttered in the wind, and her black hair flew. Her black eyes were bright, and she had a faint smile on her face. She looked like a forest elf.
The blonde lady owner smiled when she saw it. "Oh! What a beautiful girl! Is she your lover? "
Als almost couldn't stand straight.
He glared at the lady owner. "What lover?! She's a fugitive! A fugitive! "
"Fugitive? Oh? What crime did she commit? " The blonde lady owner looked curious. "She's so beautiful. I wouldn't forget her if I saw her. Sir, is there a reward for capturing her? You know, I have a small business here, and I often can't borrow money. If there's a reward, I'll ask my men to keep their eyes open. If they see this little girl, they'll immediately call the police, okay? "
Only then was Als satisfied. He nodded and said, "Yes, of course there's a reward, and it's a lot. It's enough to buy your little bar!"
"So many?!" The blonde boss lady's eyes shone with greed. She patted her snow-white, plump chest and promised, "I will catch her! No, I won't wait here. I want to go out and see if she's hiding at the foot of the mountain, or in the woods by the lake. Hmm, there's also a big valley nearby. There are many caves in there that can hide people! "
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She could not wait to call her staff to look for it. After all, money could move people's hearts …
Als looked as if he had been convinced by her. He nodded slowly. "I forgot about the valley nearby. Let's go! To the valley! "
He turned around and left. The sound of his tall military boots echoed on the floor of the bar.
Hearing their voices gradually fade away, the blonde boss lady returned to the "staff only" room. She closed the door and pushed the sofa away. She lifted a piece of floorboard under the sofa and said, "Come out. They're all gone."
Gu Nianzhi popped her head out from the basement stairs and looked outside.
The blonde boss lady reached out for her and pulled her out.
Gu Nianzhi climbed up from the basement and said quietly, "Thank you for helping me. I didn't think they would find me so quickly …"
"It's okay. I'm closed today, so no one saw you. Don't be afraid. "The blonde boss lady looked at her." Tell me, what did you do? That man just now wasn't a normal police officer. He's a soldier. I recognized his epaulets. He should be a colonel. "She paused." Such a young colonel, he must have done a lot of meritorious deeds … "
She glanced at Gu Nianzhi from the corner of her eye. Her expression became suspicious again.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and told the woman about Als' identity. "That man just now, was he wearing a black uniform? He was very handsome, but also very feminine?"
"… Oh, I think so. Why? Are you really his lover? " The blonde lady boss's eyes widened, and her expression became thought-provoking. "Could it be that he raped you, and you refused to submit to him, so he imprisoned you?! What a sadistic love! I like it! "
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but feel speechless.
Why was this boss lady so unreliable?!
Her imagination was so melodramatic. Why didn't she go write web novels?!
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but curse inside, but she still smiled weakly. She said timidly, "… No … I offended a powerful person, and that person wants to harm me …"
Oh, that sounded even more melodramatic …
"Oh?" The blonde boss lady's eyes widened. "Powerful person? Who? "
Gu Nianzhi looked down. "I don't dare to say his name. If I have the chance to escape, I'll definitely tell you who he is …"
She was so pitiful. She didn't even dare to say the name of the person who harmed her. The boss lady looked at her with pity. "Okay, then don't say it. I believe you. What are your plans? "
Gu Nianzhi thought about it. "It's already very late. Can you let me stay here for the night? I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, that's not a problem." The boss lady was very forthright. "There's a staff dormitory behind here. It was originally for my two guys on duty. But business is getting slower and slower. Everyone leaves before ten at night, so there's no need to be on duty. Since there's no one staying here, you can make do with it for the night. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded and remembered her phone. She said to the boss lady, "… Can I borrow your phone?"
The boss lady quickly unlocked the fingerprint lock for her. "Take it. Call your family?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded and took the phone. She instinctively wanted to call Huo Shao, Yin Shixiong, or Zhao Liangze, but her finger slid on the boss lady's phone. She still dialed He Zhichu's number.
She didn't want to leave Huo Shaoheng's, Yin Shixiong's, or Zhao Liangze's numbers on other people's phones. Their numbers were top secret and couldn't be known by outsiders.
There were many consequences when a person's phone number was known by others. None of the consequences were acceptable to people in Huo Shaoheng's line of work.
However, He Zhichu's phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up. Even his voicemail didn't appear. It was like he couldn't be reached at all.
Gu Nianzhi was confused. Was He Zhichu not back yet?
She had been under house arrest in Reinitz's small villa for the past ten days and hadn't contacted the outside world. She didn't even see He Zhichu's name appear in the Li Haiqing case.
What was going on outside?
Gu Nianzhi desperately wanted to return to Munich.
But she couldn't do it now. Als was outside with his men searching for her.
She had to wait until tomorrow, or the day after, when the security here was lax.
The owner looked at her sympathetically. "Can't get through? Or is no one picking up? "
"I don't know." Gu Nianzhi shook her head and handed the phone back to the owner. "Thank you." She then asked, "Do you have a computer here? Can you surf the internet? "
The owner nodded. "We have a laptop. My two friends and I usually watch movies and play games. You can use it if you want."
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed. She followed the owner to the staff's temporary dormitory to stay and wait for tomorrow.
Before the owner left, she handed the laptop to her. "Make do with it. It's very old."
Gu Nianzhi smiled brightly and excitedly accepted the laptop.
After the owner left, Gu Nianzhi lay on the bed alone and quickly turned on the laptop to connect to the internet.
She first browsed the news. It was no different from what she had seen in Reinitz.
She looked again and saw there was no instant messaging software on the computer. She decided to download one and install it.
At least she could still contact Ma Qiqi.
There was an instant messaging software from the Hua Xia Empire. He Zhichu didn't use it, and neither did Huo Shaoheng and the others. However, Ma Qiqi used it every day.
Gu Nianzhi happily found the download page and clicked to download it. However, the computer required a password to download things to the hard drive!
Gu Nianzhi angrily slapped the laptop. Did the security have to be so strict?!
The owner had already left. Gu Nianzhi didn't want to call her so late at night to ask for the password to download the software. That would be too much.
At most, she would ask the owner when she came tomorrow morning.
Turning off the laptop, Gu Nianzhi was a bit sleepy. She yawned and suddenly remembered there was a landline in the bar other than cell phones!
That was why she had subconsciously wanted to call the owner's cell phone!
All of Gu Nianzhi's sleepiness was gone. She crawled out of bed and went to the lobby of the bar. She found the landline and dialed He Zhichu's number again. This time, she dialed the number in his room at the Munich Hilton.
The phone rang three times before it hung up. She couldn't get through at all.
Gu Nianzhi didn't give up and directly called the Hilton's lobby customer service.
This time, it went through. However, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a very quiet clicking sound.
She immediately hung up with her heart pounding.
She was very familiar with the clicking sound. Someone was eavesdropping on the phone here and was recording it!
The clicking sound was the unique sound of an old-fashioned voice recorder when it started up.
