Chapter 1536 - Who Saved Who’s Life

“Why do you say that?” He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi with admiration. He had been discussing this topic with Peter, but neither of them had any evidence. They just had a hunch that something was wrong.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the two of them and smiled. “Then I’ll throw a brick to attract the jade.”

He Zhichu’s eyes burned even more fervently, but the Ace of the Far East still looked indifferent. There was even a mocking smile on his lips.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t really want to tell this “driver Peter”.

But now that they were on the same boat, it was very likely that they had a common enemy.

She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said softly, “First of all, I find it incredible that he was able to escape from the CIA with such classified information. Do you know how he managed to escape with such classified information?”

Based on the security check procedures at the American airport, the possibility of such an oversight was almost zero.

He Zhichu’s eyes were dark as he said, “... Four laptops and two mobile hard drives.”

He Zhichu and the others were responsible for picking up Dresden. They had checked all the luggage he was carrying, so they knew about his “belongings”.

Gu Nianzhi nodded. “I heard from Bai Shuang and thought it was weird at the time, but I didn’t think much of it.”

“Second of all, I came up with an idea at the time. I wanted him to post the news online to attract the world’s attention. I also helped him find someone to write a small program that wouldn’t let anyone see his IP address. Now it looks like I was used by him.” Gu Nianzhi hung her head in shame. “The result of this was that everyone believed the authenticity of his information at the first moment, and ignored the examination and investigation of his sources.”

He Zhichu patted her shoulder. “It wasn’t your fault. None of us noticed.”

He said, “At the time, our North American intelligence department received a top-secret message saying that a senior CIA employee had defected from the United States with top-secret information. He came to Huaxia Empire as soon as he could and contacted us on his own initiative.”

Gu Nianzhi felt a little better. She perked up and said, “He came to H City and quickly became the target of international attention. The CIA office in H City even sent a few peripheral men to kill him. However, don’t you think that the appearance of those peripheral men was too sudden?”

That clumsy assassination method was completely a “gift” to the Huaxia Empire’s Intelligence Agency.

Moreover, these henchmen were also he Huaxia Empire’s people. According to the saying of the war era, they were all fake soldiers and not regular militia soldiers of the enemy.

Under the moonlight, He Zhichu crossed his arms and looked at Gu Nianzhi with his beautiful eyes. He nodded and said, “I was just saying that the navy SEALs tonight seemed to be too weak.”

Gu Nianzhi clasped her hands. “I also think there’s a problem. Also, just now, I found out that he posted some big news about the Huaxia Empire on Twitter. I asked him if he posted it. He said yes, but I checked the IP of the post. It was posted in America, not here.”

“He’s lying. He has a lot of secrets.” Gu Nianzhi spread out her hands. “What reason would there be for a traitor to lie?”

He Zhichu composed himself. “He’s either a double agent or this is a set up.”

“Dresden isn’t a simple man. He acts cowardly, lecherous, and spineless. Is he the kind of champion of freedom he claims to be? Does he have the ability to access so many core secrets?” Gu Nianzhi thought of Dresden’s performance that night, and she scoffed. “He’s pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.”

“This pig is really something. The moment it was deployed, it alerted the most secretive intelligence agencies of the two big countries to make a move.”Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue.

However, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger in front of the Pink Piggy meant that he was tired of living.

The three of them stood on the deck while surrounded by the vast sea. The smell of blood in the sea had just dissipated, and the sharks that had eaten their fill had dispersed in twos and threes.

Gu Nianzhi wanted to say more, but the Ace of the Far East suddenly stopped her and said in Russian, “That’s enough. No matter what his motive is, I want to take him back to the Soviet Union.”

He Zhichu protected Gu Nianzhi and said to the Ace of the Far East with a frown, “Dresden definitely can’t stay here with us. Take him away as soon as possible.”

As he spoke, the Bluetooth headset he was wearing suddenly rang. It was a call from his father, He Chengjian.

He Zhichu quickly went to the other side of the ship to answer the call.

There were only Gu Nianzhi and the Ace of the Far East on the other side.

The Ace of the Far East didn’t seem to have any intention of talking to her either. He lifted his leg and was about to walk into the cabin.

Gu Nianzhi was still brooding over the fact that she had been scolded by him just now. She felt extremely sullen and called out to him. She clenched her fists and asked somewhat angrily,”... What did you mean just now? What right do you have to scold me for being a promiscuous woman?!”

The Ace of the Far East turned to look at her and said coldly, “You’re Young Master He’s woman, but you’ve been flirting with me. Doesn’t that make you a promiscuous woman?”

Gu Nianzhi glared at him. “I’m not Young Master He’s woman, and I’m not flirting with you. Don’t be so shameless thinking that just because someone looks at you, it means they’re interested in you.”

“Isn’t that so?” The Ace of the Far East raised an eyebrow. “Not only did you look at me a lot, you kept asking for my phone number.” As he spoke, he gestured with his hand. “Twice. You asked for my phone number twice.”

These were all facts.

However, Gu Nianzhi had to be reasonable even if she was being unreasonable. Moreover, she had her reasons.

Gu Nianzhi raised her chin slightly and put on an arrogant front. “You’re so unreasonable. I thought you were someone else, so I looked at you a few more times. As for the phone number, how do you know I don’t have another motive?”

The Ace of the Far East seemed to be extremely narcissistic. He pointed at his face and said, “There’s someone who looks like me? Impossible.”

He looked at Gu Nianzhi as if he was certain that Gu Nianzhi was trying to get close to him.

Gu Nianzhi sneered. “Of course there is. He’s a thousand times better looking than you, and ten thousand times more powerful. How can I see your true face without looking at you a few more times?”

The Ace of the Far East seemed to have lost his patience and turned to leave without saying a word.

..

On the other side of the ship, He Zhichu was on the phone with He Chengjian.

He was furious.

“Ah-Chu, what’s going on with Dresden?! Didn’t he come here to seek our protection and help?! Look what he just posted on the Internet! It’s all about our country!”

He Zhichu remembered what Gu Nianzhi had just said and said with a serious expression, “He’s exposed his cover.”

He Chengjian gasped. “You’re saying there’s a problem with his ‘defection’? !”

“Yes, this is a hot potato. If the Soviet Union hadn’t interfered, I would have arrested him directly and exchanged hostages with the CIA,” He Zhichu said coldly.

He Zhichu had also misjudged him and he was fooled by a person who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger.

However, this kind of situation was happening all the time on this special battlefront.

“Okay, hand him over to the Soviets quickly. We won’t interfere with his business anymore.” He Chengjian looked at his watch. “Let’s move quickly.”

He Zhichu hung up the phone and saw that Gu Nianzhi was the only one at the bow. The Ace of the Far East had already entered.

He walked over and took Gu Nianzhi’s hand. “Let’s go, we’re almost at the shore.”

Gu Nianzhi was a little dispirited and followed him silently into the harbor.

It didn’t take long for their boat to arrive at the port of Victoria.

After speaking to Gu Nianzhi, Dresden had been playing games on his phone. He didn’t even pay attention to the flirtatious Linda beside him. He seemed distracted.

Linda didn’t care about his attitude and continued to act affectionate. She hugged his arm and watched him play games on his phone.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After getting off the small yacht, he abandoned Linda and deliberately walked in front with Gu Nianzhi. He looked very interested in her and said, “Lawyer Gu, if I want to hire you to be my translator. Would you be willing?”

He also said, “I’ll give you a very high salary.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head. “I won’t steal my friend’s job. Thank you, Mr. Dresden, for your kind intentions.”

“How is this stealing your friend’s job?” Dresden smiled gently. “It’s just that in my current situation, I’m afraid Miss Bai can’t continue to follow me.”

“Bai Shuang can’t, and I can’t either. “Gu Nianzhi said and waved her hand.

At that moment, the sudden sound of gunshots rang out from behind a container near the dock.

Gu Nianzhi was shocked and was about to lie down on the ground when Dresden, who was walking beside her, suddenly grabbed her hands and cupped them behind her back. He then used her as a shield in front of him and shouted, “Help! Help!”

Gu Nianzhi was so angry that she wanted to kill him.

He used her as a shield and shouted at the same time. He wanted to use her as a target and take her life!

However, Dresden didn’t succeed.

He Zhichu and the Ace of the Far East pounced from both sides almost at the same time.

Two gunshots rang out and the lights on the dock went out.

Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang quickly fell to the ground under Linda’s protection.

He Zhichu jumped up from the left side and raised his hand to fire a few shots in the direction of the container. When he landed, he had already kicked Dresden in the face and knocked him to the ground. At the same time, he pulled Gu Nianzhi over to shield her behind his back.

The Ace of the Far East’s target was Dresden.

He pounced from the right side and raised his gun to fire a shot in the direction of the container.

A bullet quickly and accurately hit the sniper’s scope behind the container, directly hitting the sniper’s eye, and then penetrating his brain. Brain matter burst out and scattered white paste all over the observer’s face.

The observer was also fierce. He took the sniper gun and aimed again.

The Ace of the Far East had just landed. He half-knelt beside Dresden, pulled him up to block in front of him with one hand, and used his shoulder as support to fire another shot at the observer in front of him.

The observer seemed to hesitate for a moment when he saw this.

Just as he was hesitating, the bullets of the Ace of the Far East hit the observer directly, and a round bullet hole appeared on his forehead.

He Zhichu’s subordinates rushed over to the container to clear the area.

After a while, they sent a message.”... Clear.”

This meant that there was no more danger there.

Dresden was pulled to his feet by the Ace of the Far East. He stammered in English, “Thank you! Thank you so much! You saved my life again!”

Gu Nianzhi gave a fake smile and said, “No, no, you saved our lives. Just now, Mr. Peter used you as a shield. Didn’t you see the sniper over there? He didn’t even dare to shoot!”
