Chapter 1820
Lu Yuan still smiled warmly, he said, “Miss Gu was scared out of her wits by the way you killed her. No matter how good she was in her profession, she was only a young girl in her early twenties. When she encountered danger in this unfamiliar place, her first reaction was naturally to seek protection.”
“Besides, apart from my work relationship with Miss Gu, we have a good personal relationship. I treat her as my niece. It wouldn’t be too much for an elder to comfort a junior, would it?”
Reinitz did not have any specific information on Lu Yuan for the time being, but looking at his appearance, he also knew that the Lu Corporation’s reputation was not fake.
Moreover, Lu Yuan was polite and well-mannered. He was tactful and experienced in dealing with people. This was the typical way of a businessman.
Reinitz gave a noncommittal smile and said meaningfully, “But this young lady is really good at acting. The way she threw the pistol at me was very skillful. You’ve practiced it many times, haven’t you?”
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and pointed at her fingers. She shook her head quickly with a pitiful look on her face. “I’ve never thrown a pistol, and I’ve never practiced throwing a pistol...”
She had obviously stuffed the pistol back in her hand.
And she had indeed never practiced throwing a pistol. She had only practiced marksmanship.
The two were completely different.
Gu Nianzhi did not feel guilty at all and denied it.
There were some things that could be done, but could not be admitted, such as the fact that she had tricked Reinitz just now.
This was still the New York Police Department’s territory. She had to be out of her mind to admit that she had “Framed”Reinitz.
Reinitz was also surprised.
He had thought that Gu Nianzhi was a typical obedient girl, but what she had done today had really opened his eyes.
But this kind of girl was more interesting..
Reinitz’s gaze lingered on Gu Nianzhi for a long time.
Gu Nianzhi was still in shock. She tugged at Lu Yuan’s sleeve and was about to get into the car to go home.
Reinitz’s mouth twitched twice.
She had really gone too far. Did she think he didn’t know she was a barrister? She had even sent her own mother to prison.
How could such a person be a scared and innocent little rabbit?
But he couldn’t expose her.
Because he probably “Didn’t know”Gu Nianzhi now. The two of them were strangers whom he had just met..
Otherwise, he would be exposed.
Reinitz smiled and bowed slightly. “Miss Gu, is it? Can you leave a number for my lawyer? You’re my most important witness. Whether or not I can be acquitted is entirely up to you.”
He performed the standard Western etiquette.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and turned her head. “The police station left my number. If you want it, you can ask the police station...”
The more she refused to give it to him, the more interested Reinitz became.
He put his hands in his pockets and said helplessly, “Miss Gu, you really can’t help me. There are only my fingerprints on that pistol. If you don’t testify, I’ll really be wronged to death.”
He paused and continued, “Can you really watch your savior be wronged to death?”
Gu Nianzhi looked up timidly, her bright eyes darting across him.
Reinitz looked at her with a smile, his gaze as clear as water. He raised his chin at her, revealing the small indentation on his chin.
Gu Nianzhi smiled gratefully at him and gave him a phone number.
This was the “Mission phone”that Lu Jin had prepared for her. It was not a phone and number that she often used.
Reinitz had a good memory. He immediately remembered the number and took out his cell phone to make a call. Gu Nianzhi’s cell phone rang.
She took out her “Mission cell phone”and entered Reinitz’s number into her contact list. She waved at him. “Okay, thank you for today. I’m going home.”
She and Lu Yuan got into Lu Yuan’s car.
Back at the penthouse in Central Park, Gu Nianzhi heaved a sigh of relief. “I didn’t expect Reinitz to be so arrogant. This time, he’s even more ruthless than that Reinitz over there!”
Huo Shaoheng walked over to help her unwrap her headscarf and the sports headband on her forehead. He said calmly, “His men really don’t hesitate to kill. What’s worse is that they can sacrifice themselves at any time.”
Lu Yuan took off his suit jacket and hung it in the closet by the door. He said calmly, “From the video that Shaoheng sent back, the man in black who killed those black men should be the assassin that Reinitz paid for his life.”
Gu Nianzhi took off the headband on her forehead and handed it to Lu Jin, who was walking over. She said in surprise,”... an assassin can pay for his life?”
“Of course.”Lu Yuan laughed. “This world is brighter than you think, and darker than you think.”
“Some assassins don’t want to live anymore for various reasons, or they can’t live anymore. They’ll offer to kill to buy their lives.”
“He’ll do one last job for you. At the same time, he’ll sell his life to you. You can kill him to silence him. As long as you give his family a sum of money to buy their lives, I’m sure you won’t hold the employer responsible.”
Huo shaoheng also said, “Reinitz’s plan should be to have Nianzhi kill someone. Then he’ll go to the police station to testify and get nianzhi out.”
Lu Jin laughed so hard that he couldn’t stand up straight. “Who would have thought that the Goose Hunter would be pecked in the eye! In the end, it turned out to be him who killed someone. Nianzhi went to the police station to testify!”
“When Nianzhi put the pistol back, I saw Reinitz staring blankly for a full minute!”
At that moment, one minute was enough to turn everything around.
Huo Shaoheng smiled more subtly, but his facial features were slightly relaxed, and a trace of pride flashed across his eyes.
Lu Yuan patted Gu Nianzhi’s head. “Nianzhi is indeed flexible. This is her natural instinct and reflexes. I think she’s qualified.”
Gu Nianzhi was stunned for a long time, and said ruefully,”... I didn’t expect Reinitz to be so rich.”
Lu Yuan:”...”
In the face of such a ruthless and murderous head of the Gestapo, Gu Nianzhi was amazed that he was actually “Rich”.
This angle was really unique.
Lu Yuan didn’t say anything and glanced lightly at Lu Jin.
Lu Jin was in a heated discussion with Gu Nianzhi,”... I wonder if the money he used to buy the killer’s life can be reimbursed by Luo Le.”
“It should be considered a public expense, right?”Gu nianzhi said hesitantly, “After all, it’s a mission. Could it also be reimbursed by the Federal Intelligence Service?”
Lu Yuan didn’t want to hear it anymore and said calmly, “I’m going back to my apartment. You guys can discuss it slowly.”
Huo Shaoheng also followed them out.
Gu Nianzhi saw that they had all left, so she dragged Lu Jin along to Lu Yuan’s apartment for lunch.
In order to find another place for Gu Nianzhi, Reinz had linked gu nianzhi to “Von Rolstead”and Lu Yuan’s apartment here would come in handy.
Lu Yuan had once bought an apartment here under the name of the Lu Corporation. It wasn’t as big as the luxury apartment on the top floor of “Von Rolstead”, but it wasn’t small either. It was close to 2,500 square feet, it was quite spacious for an apartment.
Gu Nianzhi stayed in Lu Yuan’s apartment and waited quietly for two days before she went out for a run in the morning again.
This time, she chose a small path on the other side of Central Park, avoiding the path where many people had been killed two days ago.
Perhaps it was because there had been a lot of murders two days ago, Central Park was much quieter.
She jogged for a mile and did not see anyone else.
But when she turned the corner, she almost bumped into someone who was also jogging.
Gu Nianzhi quickly stopped the car and looked up. It was Reinitz again!
“... why is it you again?”Gu Nianzhi pointed at him with a frown. “You... What’s Your Name? I forgot to ask last time.”
Reinitz’s eyes sparkled as he said gently, “My name is Reinitz. What’s Your Name?”
“My surname is Gu, and my English name is Cereus.”Gu Nianzhi stretched out her hand generously. “I’m so happy to meet you again.”
Reinitz saw that she was wearing a pair of sports gloves on her hand and couldn’t help smiling. He gently touched her hand and said, “Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.”
He turned around naturally and jogged in the same direction as Gu Nianzhi. He said, “Thank you for your testimony last time. I’m fine now.”
Gu Nianzhi:”...”
“Really? Your lawyer is amazing!”Gu Nianzhi looked very happy. “I thought I’d have to go to the police station a few more times!”
“The police later investigated the pistol and found out the identity of the man in Black.”Reinitz spoke with confidence, he smiled. “They found out that the man was a wanted criminal who had once robbed the New York Police Department’s Armory. The pistol was stolen and lost by that man, and had already been registered with them.”
Gu Nianzhi understood.
Was this also one of Reinitz’s plans?
He had arranged for that man to be there, so the man’s pistol must have been part of his plan.
So he pressed her finger and fired, leaving her fingerprints on the pistol.
After she was arrested by the police, he would jump out and be a good person to testify. The police would eventually find out the origin of the gun and the real identity of the man in black, so she would be fine.
She fired in self-defense, even if there were fingerprints.
The result of a false alarm was that she would be grateful to reinz..
Unfortunately, she had refused to take on the role he had chosen for her in the script he had written. Instead, she had performed exceptionally well on her own.
Gu Nianzhi was secretly amused. On the surface, she said cheerfully, “That’s great! That’s more like it! We were defending ourselves. We won’t be held legally responsible!”
“Oh? Cereus, you seem to be very familiar with the law?”Reinitz deliberately brought up the topic of Gu Nianzhi’s career.
Gu nianzhi smiled and said, “I’m a law student and a practicing lawyer. But what I’m interested in now is not the law, but the key settings of the computer database.”
“Oh?”Reinitz raised his eyebrows. “It’s rare for a woman to be interested in the key to the database.”
“You said it’s rare, but it’s not impossible.”Gu Nianzhi stopped jogging and began to stretch her arms as she walked, “Director Lu and I are working together on the security of computer databases. He brought me to New York on a business trip because he wanted to see what the most advanced database security system in the world is like.”
“... the most advanced database security system in the world?”Reinitz was very confused. He also stopped jogging and walked an arm’s length away from Gu Nianzhi. “You mean in New York?”
“Yes. It’s the New York Stock Exchange.”Gu Nianzhi’s smile was even brighter than the morning sun in early May.
Reinitz saw Gu Nianzhi’s interest in the database key and immediately went along with it. He scoffed, he said, “The New York Stock Exchange’s database security system can also be called the most advanced? Miss Gu hasn’t been in the industry for long, right? I know a company that has a flawless database security system.”
“Really? which system? Can I see it? !”Gu Nianzhi asked in surprise.
“If you’re interested, go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City Tomorrow. I’ll bring my computer here and show you a very interesting database security system.”
Reinitz was very confident in his country’s database security system and thought that Gu Nianzhi was just a novice. How good could she be?
The branch system of their bureau’s database was enough to blind Gu Nianzhi’s large eyes, which seemed to reflect the early summer sun.
