Chapter 1539 - The Best Day

Gu Nianzhi took Qin Zhining’s phone and opened his contact list to take a look. She silently noted down all his contacts, then found He Zhichu’s number and called him.

There were two rings on the other end, and then a robotic female voice said, “The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.”

“What’s going on?” Gu Nianzhi pretended to be surprised. “Why isn’t he answering your calls?”

Qin Zhining explained to her, “It should be the start of the mission. All phones will be turned off.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

What a coincidence,

She took out her phone and dialed He Zhichu’s number again. It was the same robotic female voice. “The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly searched her phone for Linda’s number and dialed it.

The Russian version appeared on the other end. “The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.”

Gu Nianzhi refused to give up. She sent another message to Linda’s social messaging app.

There was complete silence on the other end. There was no response.

Qin Zhining watched from the side as she fiddled with her phone. He shook her head with a smile. “Why don’t you believe me? We’re on a secret mission right now, and there will be an electromagnetic shield at the start of the operation. Whether it’s the phone or the internet, we can’t get through to them.”

The people in the operation were communicating through Bluetooth headsets on a special frequency, which wasn’t within the frequency of the electromagnetic shield.

Gu Nianzhi smiled and sent a small emoji to Qin Zhining on her phone. She said, “Then I’m sorry, I don’t want to go. It’s the same if I contact Linda again after she returns to the Soviet Union.”

“How can that be? What if it’s something important?” Qin Zhining picked an emoji and sent a smile. JPG, then “earnestly” advised her, “Think about it, it’ll be more than ten hours before the plane arrives at the Soviet Union. It’d be a pity to miss the important news.”

“What important news would I regret?” Gu Nianzhi shrugged nonchalantly. “I don’t know her that well anyway. She won’t do serious business with mere acquaintances, and I won’t do them either. Qin Zhining, what’s wrong with you?”

Qin Zhining didn’t expect Gu Nianzhi to be so stubborn. He suddenly thought of something. “But think about it. Linda and the others aren’t ordinary people. They’re the KGB’s Ace and Bombshell of the Far East. If she wants to see you and talk to you, it must be something extraordinary, right? Besides, I heard that the driver, Peter, is very capable!”

Gu Nianzhi saw that Qin Zhining wasn’t willing to give up and used all sorts of random reasons to persuade her again and again. She was also very curious as to who was so eager for her to go to the airport to see Linda and the driver, Peter.

Therefore, she didn’t reject immediately. She pretended to be angry and beat around the bush with Qin Zhining. “If she wants to see me, I have to let her see me? Qin Zhining, in your eyes, am I such a person with no status and no dignity?”

“Of course not!” Qin Zhining blurted out. “General He specifically instructed me. How can you have no status and no dignity?!”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that the situation wasn’t good, but her face still had an inexplicable look of surprise and joy. She clasped her hands.”... General He personally instructed me to go see Linda, didn’t he? You should have told me earlier. If you had, I would have gone. Why did you have to drag this out for so long? I believe General He. Since he said it, I’m relieved.”

Qin Zhining had accidentally said He Chengjian’s name, and was instantly dumbfounded. He was worried that he would ruin the whole thing, but seeing that Gu Nianzhi wasn’t unhappy or aware of their intentions, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, it would be best if Gu Nianzhi didn’t ask him anything and just did wherever he said.

If she insisted, they had a Plan B.

Qin Zhining stood up and picked up his backpack. “It’s getting late. Let’s go.”

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes flashed as she stared at Qin Zhining’s backpack for a while.

She hadn’t paid much attention to it before, but now that she thought about He Chengjian’s methods, it was very likely that Qin Zhining’s backpack contained an assembly gun.

After confirming that this was an order from He Chengjian, Gu Nianzhi knew that there was no room for her to refute.

He Chengjian’s methods weren’t something she could contend with.

It was clear from the fact that he was so powerful that he forcibly brought her back from the parallel dimension.

She could reason with He Zhichu because he was somewhat sincere towards her and did not want to use violence against her.

However, He Chengjian was different.

This man only had his wife and son in his heart. In front of his absolute power, her intelligence and wisdom paled in comparison.

Gu Nianzhi looked out of the window silently. The bright glass window was like a mirror in the dark night by reflecting her thin and slender figure.

She recalled the past seven years in her memory once more.

She had been here, loved, was loved, and married. She had experienced everything a woman could experience except having children.

She was just a little regretful that she couldn’t grow old with the person she loved.

But compared to many people who struggled in their suffering, her situation was much better.

She didn’t want to be greedy.

It had been more than two months since she had been abducted and brought here.

She had tried hard, tried to live as if nothing had happened, tried to find her way home in secret.

But she had just found out that there was no way for her to escape this fate of being shackled and locked up.

With a supreme power watching her, her freedom was a joke.

She now understood why she had been sent to the parallel dimension, even at the risk that she might perish together with her opponent.

Gu Nianzhi was not a person who was willing to compromise.

The reason she had been able to compromise must have been because of a bigger and better goal.

If she didn’t have a bigger and better goal, she wouldn’t have given in without a bottom line.

Her personality had a strong stubbornness that said, “I’d rather die than live under oppression”.

Just like that time in Germany when she had fallen into Reinitz’s trap, she was also determined to fight them to the death.

If she wasn’t free, she would rather die.

After finally making this decision, Gu Nianzhi’s mood calmed down instead.

She nodded lightly. “Okay, I’ll go pack my backpack. Qin Zhining, wait for me for a while.”

Qin Zhining agreed immediately. “Hurry up, there’s nothing to pack. I’ll be right back. I promise you’ll be fine.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled. Yes, she knew He Chengjian wouldn’t hurt her, but she still had to go under such circumstances. He must be using her to hurt someone else...

Thinking of Xiao Ye lying in a pool of blood on the other side of the world, and then thinking of the beautiful Linda here, Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes.

Perhaps she had a chance to repay her debt.

Qin Zhining carried his backpack and walked towards the door.

Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and took out her phone to send a few text messages.

One message was sent to He Zhichu’s email: [ Young Master He, you have a place in my heart, the position of my closest family member. ]

One message was sent to Lu Jin’s phone: [ Lion King, Hakuna Matata, Little Simba’s best day here is at Disneyland. ]

After sending the message, she turned off her phone and stopped receiving any messages.

When Qin Zhining turned around, she had just put her phone into her pocket and was carrying her backpack.

In the backpack was her passport, ID card, wallet, small makeup bag, and the phone Lu Jin had given her. It was placed vertically in the pocket of the backpack that had been specially made for her phone.

That was the closest place to the heart.

Gu Nianzhi adjusted the strap of her backpack and asked Qin Zhining with a smile, “Do you know the address? Didn’t you say it was confidential?”

“General He gave the order. It doesn’t matter if it’s confidential.” Qin Zhining said with a smile as he opened the door.

Gu Nianzhi took one last look at the room and smiled. “Let’s go. We don’t want to waste time.”

The two of them left the Four Seasons Hotel and got into a jeep that Qin Zhining had parked there.

Gu Nianzhi sat in the passenger seat and looked calmly at the road ahead.

It was getting dark, and the lights in the shape of Magnolia were flashing past her eyes.

This was her home, but she didn’t feel any sense of belonging to it.

The two of them chatted in the car.

Gu Nianzhi said, “Qin Zhining, Wen Shouyi isn’t a good person. Although you’re not particularly good, you’re still better than Wen Shouyi. Leave her. She’s not worthy of your love.”

Qin Zhining blushed at her words and said awkwardly, “Actually, I’m already thinking about breaking up.”

Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Did you two start a relationship? And break up? If you asked Wen Shouyi in front of Young Master He if you were her boyfriend, she would definitely deny it.”

Qin Zhining looked at her in surprise. “No way! Gu Nianzhi, what do you mean?”

“I’m just reminding you. If you don’t believe me, then forget it.” Gu Nianzhi didn’t have any intention of exposing it to him.

She only reminded him to thank him for saving her on the Caribbean Snake Island.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to owe him a favor.

Qin Zhining’s Jeep drove very fast and soon arrived at the dock of the port city of Tsim Sha Tsui in City H.

The two of them got off the jeep and boarded the boat. From there, they took a boat to M City.

They took a small red ferry and drove very fast. In less than an hour, they arrived at M City’s dock.

Along the way, Gu Nianzhi noticed that besides Qin Zhining, there were many people following them.

It looked like they were all He Chengjian’s subordinates.

She had no intention of running away, so she simply pretended not to see them and followed Qin Zhining to M City’s international airport.

Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. It was already past 11 pm.

There were still planes landing and landing at the airport. It was as busy as a container port during the day.

Qin Zhining looked around and didn’t see the scheduled flight. She was a little surprised. She quickly turned on her Bluetooth headset, turned on the special frequency, and started talking to He Zhichu.

“Young Master He, where are you?”

He Zhichu was also surprised to hear Qin Zhining’s voice. “Zhining? Why are you here?! Where’s Nianzhi?!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’ve been ordered to find Linda and Dresden,” Not mentioning Gu Nianzhi at all, Qin Zhining said calmly.

Gu Nianzhi only glanced at him casually and didn’t interrupt.

He Zhichu seemed to hesitate for a moment and said, “The committee of State Security (KGB) changed their location at the last minute. They’re not at the International Airport. We’re on our way there now.”

Qin Zhining: “! ! !”

“Where are they?” He asked urgently. “I have an important mission assigned to me by General He.”

He Zhichu’s heart sank. It was as if he had stepped on air and had fallen from a height of 100,000 feet. There was a buzzing sound beside his ears, and his mind was almost completely blank.

He looked at the dark night sky and said word by word, “What important mission?!”
