Chapter 646 - They Finally Noticed (2/2)

Gu Nianzhi nodded in deep agreement “Yes, yes, I’ve always been all alone, so how did those people find me? They were so precise and on time, it was almost like I betrayed et?! Her phone! She was only thinking about how Sues’ phones were probably infected by a Trojan virus that blocked all her calls and texts, but what about her own phone? She was very certain that her phone wasn’t infected with a Trojan virus, but all phones sent out signals as soon as they were turned on Regardless of whether or not there was a tower nearby, the phone would automatically search for connectable networks

Gu Nianzhi quickly recalled how she had inal as soon as she saw the nunnery! Also, her first reaction when seeing Mother Hanna’s cabin was to also turn on her phone and get a cell signal! She also remenal on her screen… And after each bout of ecstasy were close calls with the murderers It was like those people knehere she was

Reinitz’s words reminded her that the area around the Alps was nearly uninhabited, so how could those people find her exact location in theshort of looking for a needle in a haystack! But what if this needle had a locating systeation Syste system, it would be entirely possible to locate this needle within ten ible whether on sea or land It was like exposing herself to her enemies

Gu Nianzhi raised her phone up and looked at it expressionlessly She never iined that the enemy had the ability to ation Systenals could be tracked via satellite, but Gu Nianzhi had learned through her participation in the Nandou Global Satellite Navigation Systey and expense was required to use a satellite to track a specific cell signal! Merely changing the light satellite orbital itself in order to trace a specific cell signal would cost upwards of hundreds of e scale teaht on her heels There was no way they could track her whenever they pleased, nor would just anybody’s phone be worth tracking… So fro, she never considered this possibility!

Now that she understood this, she was extreh price on her head that those people were spending hundreds of ! She must protect herself well, as there was no way she would lose her precious life for nothing! The person behind all this now seeht Gu Nianzhi sneered to herself It looked like the eneht on her heels because they had already used all their abilities and were starting to leave trails There were only a handful of people capable of using the Copernicus Global Satellite Navigation Syste into gear “There’s so with your phone?”

“So a satellite positioning and tracking system to find hly,” Gu Nianzhi replied calain and unlocked it with her fingerprint She went into the settings and reset everything back to factory settings Everything on her phone iped to restore the phone The sapphire screen on the iPhone flashed several ti Gi Nianzhi looked at the phone that had accoly She then turned to ask Reinitz, “Is there a lake or river nearby?”

“Yeah, there’s nothing but lakes and rivers here” Reinitz realized what she wanted to do and took her on a s downhill They didn’t have to walk far before Gu Nianzhi saw a lake that was even larger and deeper than the one she saw near Mother Hanna’s cain The lake reflected the sky and clouds so vividly blue, she couldn’t tell where the sky and water separated Looking down at her phone, Gu Nianzhi gritted her teeth and suddenly swung her arold phone landed on the lake with a splash, then sank down Gu Nianzhi’s heart felt empty after she threw her phone into the lake It was like she had lost all her support and the resource she relied on

“Let’s go” Reinitz gently grabbed her shoulder “It’s ok, I’ll buy you a new phone e get out”

Gu Nianzhi composed herself and smiled at Reinitz with a shake of her head “It’s ok, I don’t want to use a phone for now I can buy my own if I need one”

Reinitz didn’t press her but took her hand, and they headed along the sood, too Stay with me for now until your parents and family come to pick you up”

Gu Nianzhi’s shoulders slumped “I don’t have parents” She then realized what she said “I don’t have a mother, only a father He just found me”

Reinitz seeently “You were also an orphan?”

Children who didn’t have parents with them could only be called orphans Gu Nianzhi actually didn’t know anything about her past Although she’d found her father, her memories weren’t recovered, and the period froe years was still a blank Someone without a childhood was incomplete However, she didn’t tell Reinitiz any uess so I didn’t know I had a father until a few o”

“Then we’ll wait for your father to pick you up”

“He won’t come to pick me up He’s comatose, and has been for many years now”

Reinitz didn’t think that the delicate-looking girl would not appear pained or embittered when she said this Gu Nianzhi said it cal about someone else Reinitz felt eventoo much “That’s ok, you’ll have hed “Reinitz, thank you for uardian any After so now you can stay with o home”

“Yeah, thanks for your help” Gu Nianzhi wasn’t fussy enough to reject his kindness She truly needed soet home at a time like this There was no way she could do it alone, and if she insisted on leaving, Reinitz would let her go However, Gu Nianzhi thought that was too rude She didn’t want to leave a bad i unconditionally nice to her “I’ll find a place to go online and call et to that s hed, looking ahead and seeing that there weren’t so many twists and turns anyot sick again right before they saw the light at the end of the tunnel, despite being fine after wandering around the Alps for more than a week before She was drowsy froe mountain

…

Today was the tenth day since Gu Nianzhi had left the hotel S anxious a few days ago They received Gu Nianzhi’s text fro friends and would be returning in ten days At the time, they didn’t think much of it because they were busy with their oork Also, they received news that Seth had escaped from the hospital the day after Gu Nianzhi left, so they were busy keeping an eye on the police, hospital, and courts to usher the him to justice

A week passed They were truly too busy, and the four of theh, so Smith wanted to call Gu Nianzhi to ask if she could come back early However, froot through to her Each call would be sent to voiceh and assumed her phone had died However, when they couldn’t call her over the next three days, it was getting strange

Although the fourshe was leaving for ten days, so perhaps she didn’t want to work and shut off her phone during the vacation Sues did that as well If they truly wanted a break, the only way to escape fro business was to shut off their phones or not bring the However, Gu Nianzhi should’ve returned by today no matter what If she couldn’t come back, she should have at least called or sent a text to let them know

In the end, they waited from dusk to dawn but didn’t receive any coain, and she was no longer in service area… Smith walked around with his arms crossed, and the other three lawyers sat on the couch in his room, worry etched on their faces They didn’t speak, but it was obvious from their faces that they orried and concerned

“S me dizzy” One lawyer reached out to wave his hand doards “Hurry up and sit down We should discuss what’s going on”

“I think so happened to Lawyer Gu” Smith relaxed his arms, his expression dark His lawyer’s intuition told him that Gu Nianzhi was probably in trouble if she hadn’t reached out in ten days If so had actually happened, then they had missed the precious initial 36 hours By the ti over Missing persons eren’t found within the first 36 hours had a low likelihood of ever being found Sry They had actually only noticed she had goneten days later! Were they idiots?! They were too stupid! They all assu with friends but finally realized soht about how Gu Nianzhi was before, and how they weren’t actually close with her She was always reading and studying alone in her room She had been so quiet and would only speak orat other ti a translation device to learn German Her tiht joke with Gu Nianzhi in the past, Lawyer He’s cold expression would appear before them As time passed, they found themselves in various kinds of trouble, so they all instinctively knew to distance the Lawyer He… So when they realized she hadn’t reached out in a long tiht sheThe four men anxiously discussed it in the hotel room for a while

“Smith, should we call the police?” one lawyer asked with uncertainty
