Chapter 1517 - You Don’t Have To Worry About Me

Seeing that Gu Nianzhi didn’t mind at all, Lu Jin let out a long sigh. His expression relaxed and he said with a smile, “As long as you’re happy.”

The two of them chatted and soon arrived at the door of Gu Nianzhi’s room.

Dresden and Bai Shuang were waiting there.

Gu Nianzhi took out her key card and opened the door. She said worriedly, “I’ve already called the police at the front desk.”

Dresden covered his face and said nervously, “Oh my God! They would know where I am and hunt me down”

Gu Nianzhi said snappily, “Shut up! They already know where you are. How else would they have been able to attempt to assassinate you?!”

Bai Shuang held back her laughter and translated it to Dresden.

Dresden’s screams came to an abrupt halt, and he froze.

Looking at the night sky outside the window with an expressionless face, Lu Jin stood at the side with his hands in his pockets. He couldn’t be bothered to look at Dresden’s silly face. He only felt that one more look would lower his IQ.

Bai Shuang pulled Gu Nianzhi to the side and quickly explained everything that had happened to Dresden.

It turned out that Dresden was a “temporary employee” of the United States Department of Homeland Security and an employee of the CIA. He was involved in a new project called PRISM, also known as Project Prism. It was an in-depth monitoring of the world’s instant communications and existing data.

He felt that this wasn’t right. Not only was it an invasion of other people’s privacy, but it was also a huge blow to the spirit of freedom on the Internet. It wasn’t in line with his beliefs.

Therefore, he took the top-secret surveillance data that he had access to and left the United States. In the end, he was hunted down by the CIA.

Gu Nianzhi had already been “caught in the crossfire” and “assassinated” once.

She glanced coldly at Dresden and didn’t believe a single word he had said.

However, her priority now was to save her and Bai Shuang’s lives.

He must have brought out the top-secret information about the United States.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He Zhichu’s figure had been seen outside the window. He must have been representing the country against the people who were chasing after Dresden. This meant that the Huaxia Empire’s government was well aware of Dresden’s existence.

Gu Nianzhi thought about it for a long time and slowly said, “If that’s the case, why don’t we do it this way?”

She looked at Dresden’s face and enunciated each word clearly. “We’ll find the important people and media here, then take the initiative to expose all the facts. At the same time, we’ll shout to the United States government and tell the world that you’re fighting for the privacy of the people of the world and the freedom of the internet!”

“Only by putting it out in broad daylight and letting the world know that the American government is hunting you down will you have a chance to live.”

Gu Nianzhi had realized from the moment she saw He Zhichu’s figure that Dresden’s appearance didn’t just concern himself, but was also a battlee between the major powers.

As for what information Dresden had taken and why he had taken it, probably only he himself knew.

Bai Shuang quickly translated Gu Nianzhi’s suggestion to Dresden.

Dresden knew what she was talking about. He thought about it for a moment and nodded immediately. “It is a good idea, however...”

Bai Shuang understood what he meant and turned to Gu Nianzhi. “Lawyer Gu, do you know any important people or famous media outlets who can help you with this?”

Gu Nianzhi was about to speak when Lu Jin suddenly turned around and said, “You can contact lawyer He from the H City Legislative Council. He is a distant relative of the He family in the imperial capital and is very powerful in the H City Legislative Council. He is also a lawyer, and will be able to help Dresden with his lawsuit in the future.”

The US Department of Justice would definitely Sue Dresden.

Bai Shuang glanced at Gu Nianzhi. She knew what the He family in the imperial capital was like, but she still trusted Gu Nianzhi’s opinion more.

Gu Nianzhi took out her phone and quickly looked up lawyer He from the H City Legislative Council.

She skimmed through his resume and said happily, “This person isn’t bad. He can help Mr. Dresden in some way. You can even stay at his house.”

Lawyer He was very rich. He had a mansion halfway up the mountain, so it was no problem for him to stay with two idlers.

Bai Shuang saw that Gu Nianzhi had agreed and said with relief, “Okay, let’s contact lawyer He and see if he’s willing to accept our case.”

She looked at Gu Nianzhi again. “As for famous media outlets, does lawyer Gu have any recommendations?”

Gu Nianzhi had an idea on this.

In the age of social media, the power of self-media wasn’t to be underestimated.

In order to ensure Dresden’s safety, the best way was to use social media to expand its influence immediately.

Gu Nianzhi picked up her phone and began to think about which social media to expose it to.

At that moment, Bai Shuang’s and Dresden’s phones rang.

The two of them looked at each other at the same time and saw that it was a call from the hotel’s front desk and security system. They said that the hotel had received a 911 call and had come up to investigate. They found that the situation was serious and had already called the police. The police were now here and wanted to ask them about the situation.

Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin had also been in Bai Shuang’s and Dresden’s rooms. The surveillance video in the corridor showed the four of them coming out of their rooms together, so the two of them had also been called over.

The police stood at the door of Dresden’s room with their men. They sealed off his room and only questioned him at the door.

Zhao Liangze had just been sent up by Lu Yuan to see what had happened.

He stood at the door and glanced at it. He was stunned by the large hole in the window.

He turned around and saw Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin approaching. He quickly asked, “Lawyer Gu, Mr. Lu, what happened? Are you guys hurt?”

Gu Nianzhi shook her head. She remembered that Lu Jin had stood in front of her at that time, so she quickly asked, “Mr. Lu, are you okay?”

Lu Jin answered in an academic manner, “The lining of my suit jacket contains 10% kevlar. The chemical name is polyterephthalyl terephthalic diamine. It’s also known as fireproof fiber, and it’s also bulletproof. The glass in the hotel room is only 6.5 degrees of hardness. There’s no way it could penetrate my suit and hurt me. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

Zhao Liangze was used to Lu Jin’s style of speaking. It went in one ear and out the other.

He turned his head and saw Bai Shuang. He was slightly taken aback.

He remembered this girl. The blunder at the Hilton Hotel’s underground bar that night had left a deep impression on him.

He looked at Gu Nianzhi again. This girl was talking nonsense...

But he wasn’t disgusted.

He stood aside and waited for the police to finish questioning him. The Four Seasons Hotel’s VIP manager rushed over to apologize to Dresden. He even offered to change a suite for him and give him a month’s free accommodation as compensation.

The temptation was indeed very great.

Dresden agreed immediately and moved to the luxurious suite provided by the Four Seasons Hotel.

Zhao Liangze followed them there. After making sure that they were all fine, he planned to take his leave.

Gu Nianzhi suddenly remembered Zhao Liangze’s job and called out to him, “Director Zhao, there’s something I need your help with. I was wondering if you’d be willing to participate in this grand event?”

Zhao Liangze: “... Speak English.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled. “It’s like this. Mr. Dresden’s room was shot today. It wasn’t a coincidence...”

She recounted the whole incident and finally said, “We plan to find a well-known media outlet to release some of Mr. Dresden’s information and ask the whole world for help to avoid Mr. Dresden being pursued by the CIA.”

Zhao Liangze’s expression was grim. “If what Mr. Dresden said is true, this matter is too serious. How can you mess around?!”

Gu Nianzhi was displeased, but before she could refute to Zhao Liangze that she wasn’t messing around, Lu Jin had already fired back.

“Director Zhao, lawyer Gu’s proposal is reasonable, advantageous, and prudent. Considering all aspects, logically speaking, it’s very meticulously thought out. From what angle do you think she’s messing around?” Lu Jin looked at him seriously. “If you think this is nonsense, do you have a better idea? A more appropriate arrangement? More rigorous logic?”

Zhao Liangze was blushing from Lu Jin’s words, but he knew that he couldn’t argue with Lu Jin. He couldn’t argue with Lu Jin anyway, so there was no point in reasoning with him. He had to be out of his mind to reason with Lu Jin.

“Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Lu is right. I was thinking too much.” Zhao Liangze shook his head helplessly and looked at Gu Nianzhi. “Then how do you want me to help you?”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “Help Miss Bai and Mr. Dresden set up a Twitter account.”

“... You’re looking for me just for that?” Zhao Liangze didn’t believe that it was that simple. He was the technical director of the Lu Corporation.

“Of course it’s not that simple.” Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and raised her chin slightly. “I want the IP address of that account. Even the people inside Twitter can’t find it. Can you do it?”

This would test the hacker’s ability to hide the IP address.

Even the root directory of the server had to be fooled. In essence, it was no different from hacking into Twitter’s server mainframe.

The hacker spirit hidden deep in Zhao Liangze’s personality was immediately ignited by Gu Nianzhi.

His eyes lit up, and he rubbed his palms together. “No problem, I can give it a try!”

Lu Jin stared at Gu Nianzhi from the side. His lips moved and closed several times, and he kept trying to say the same sentence over and over again. In the end, he finally swallowed it.

He glanced sideways at Zhao Liangze and said, “This has to be done quickly. How much time do you need to create an account that even Twitter can’t find the IP address of?”

Zhao Liangze jumped up. “I’ll go get my laptop! Just you wait! It shouldn’t take more than twelve hours!”

“Twelve hours is too much. It should be within six hours, which is before dawn tomorrow.” Lu Jin was a little itchy and suggested, “If you can’t do it within six hours, then change the person.”

He looked at Gu Nianzhi and winked at her desperately. He really wanted to show her his skills.

Unfortunately, Gu Nianzhi’s attention was all on Zhao Liangze.

Seeing that Zhao Liangze had agreed, she happily reached out her hand. “You can do it!”

The two of them high-fived in the air and set a time.

Zhao Liangze hurried back to his room to get his laptop. Gu Nianzhi took her phone and continued to look for the contact information of the senator, lawyer He.

Bai Shuang was explaining to Dresden in a low voice the solution that Gu Nianzhi and the others had just discussed.

No one paid any attention to Lu Jin.

Lu Jin felt a little irritated. He took out his phone and quickly wrote a small program to calm himself down.
