Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help herself and asked Reinitz, “You look wealthy How could you allow Mother Hannah to stay at such a place?”
Reinitz stopped his car and turned to look at her “Which place? You feel that that place isn’t good?”
Pouting, Gu Nianzhi replied, “It’s too secluded There’s neither telephone nor network for internet connection How can anyone stay there?”
Reinitz laughed “Internet is so that people came up ithin the past two decades, and you feel that humans cannot live without it already? So everyone could die 20 years ago?”
It sounded logical Gu Nianzhi found herself speechless It was rare that someone actually made her dumbfounded, and she did not feel too happy about it She followed Reinitz into his home without a word
This house looked looked like an old castle from the outside, but it had an unexpectedly modern interior French s faced the backyard There was a white leather sofa against the wall in the living room So roorand piano was next to the French s
All the lights in the house were e in the h countless petals and poured onto the dining table
Reinitz led Gu Nianzhi up the stairs “Your room is on the second level”
Gu Nianzhi followed him into the bedroom and realized that it was the master bedroom The room had been refurbished, but it still had a neat and fresh design style It had probably been Reinitz’s rooave people the ins he preferred
Gu Nianzhi was unwilling to stay in Reinitz’s bedroouest room This is the master bedroom It’s not suitable for me to stay here”
Reinitz looked at her, and his crystal blue eyes revealed a little bit of hope and yearning Falling silent for a while, he said, “Cereus, Als said that you have to be my… direct relative in order to be able to stay with me, so that I can protect you”
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows “…And?”
He took out a little golden box fro it, there was a pear-shaped dia of at least three carats It had an almost perfect cut and clarity, and it sparkled like rainbows the ht landed on it That was the best way to know if a diaood clarity
Gu Nianzhi took a step back “Reinitz, what are you doing?”
Reinitz walked to her side and held her hand “It will just be to lie to Als Just give in for a while and beout and put it onto Gu Nianzhi’s left ring finger This was a proposal ring, and it showed that this lady was already taken
Gu Nianzhi reht this was just a trick? Why did you do it for real? I will not do this!”
Reinitz looked at her and shook his head “Who said that it was for real?”
“The ring…” Gu Nianzhi opened her pal was aled when it was placed there
Reinitz lowered his head and took the ring froainst Gu Nianzhi’s pal special, but Reinitz felt suffocated He put the ring on for her again and said gently, “…Only a tool”
Gu Nianzhi then understood She looked at hiain This is just a cover-up plan, anyway When I’m not so closely watched, I will be able to contact the people frouys return from their mission? What about Huo Shao? And Professor He? He should have returned from his home, shouldn’t he?
Gu Nianzhi reo back for a fortnight at most Now that she calculated, it had been about teeks He Zhichu had gone ho hih His father should be okay now, right? Even if he had to go through a surgery, it should have already been done, and he would already have been back? I can call him now, can’t I? But she didn’t even have a phone with her, so how could she call? At most, Professor He would realize that her phone wasn’t within the network range He would be worried, wouldn’t he?
With those thoughts, Gu Nianzhi did not sleep well the first night she was in Reinitz’s house It seehtmare However, she did not scream nor cry She just ran in the dark and hid whenever she could There was so her, and they were fast No matter how she tried, she wasn’t able to shake the person off…
After that, she ran too quickly and fell on the floor Then, she woke up When she woke up in an unfaot about her dream totally She looked at the time on her watch and realized that it was only four o’clock in theTherefore, she went back to sleep When she woke up again, it was already alot the chef to prepare lunch and waited for her to wake up for it
Gu Nianzhi sat down at the dining table and asked casually, “Do you have wifi here, Reinitz? I’m bored Can I use the internet please?”
Reinitz opened a set of newspapers and shook his head “No, I don’t I don’t have computers here, either”
Gu Nianzhi was speechless
“That’s ridiculous! You can even surf the net in prison!” Gu Nianzhi refused to cooperate anymore She threw her cutlery away and snapped, “Just lockto be put in prison, as long as I get to use the computer”
Reinitz closed the newspapers and looked at her curiously “Is internet really so important to you? You really want to pass ti to use the opportunity to contact someone? Don’t take Als’s words to heart”
Of course, both were true However, Gu Nianzhi would never aduess Brows furrowed, Gu Nianzhi said, “Even if I were to contact anyone, would you guys not kno could there be secrets online? Would I even be that stupid?”
Reinitz thought about it briefly and smiled “Then ould you like to see? I have my phone I can surf the web and read it to you”
Gu Nianzhi was really speechless Rolling her eyes, she sat beside Reinitz and said pretentiously, “Reinitz, have you tried this sausage before? It’s really yummy It tastes like what Mother Hannah e and fed Reinitz
Reinitz had never experienced such hospitality froh he knew that she had a motive, he couldn’t help but open his e Gu Nianzhi looked pleased She fed hih there was only bread and sausage, Reinitz was sold His clear blue eyes looked at Gu Nianzhi, and he could not bear to leave her
Gu Nianzhi looked aardly and pulled on the corners of his shi+rt “There, Reinitz Can’t you just lend o online to read soe of I’ve told you before that I aive up halfway I promised that I would put the person behind bars!”
Reinitz took out his phone and unlocked it “Which case? Can we get it online?” After being silent for a while, he asked again, “Your name is Gu Nianzhi isn’t it?” He said “Gu Nianzhi” in Chinese It actually sounded really accurate, like he had practiced it over and over again
Gu Nianzhi blinked “…Uo already? Didn’t Als tell you?”
“I want you to tell me personally” Reinitz looked at her with eyes full of love “I don’t believe what he said, but as long as it comes from you, I’ll trust it”
Gu Nianzhi fell silent She looked aardly, not knohat to say “Um, yes… But my Christian name is indeed Cereus”
Reinitz raised his eyebrows in surprise This was soht that Cereus was a made up name to cover up her identity
“Fine, don’t be like that The case that I orking on, I don’t believe Als has not told you about it” Gu Nianzhi rested her head on her hand and looked at Reinitz fro table “I really want to finish this up It’s the case involving Seth—the person who has been trying to get me killed”
