Chapter 1149 True Identity
Gu Nianzhi didn’t take the phone from Rong Mingxing. Instead, she simply raised her chin at Rong Mingxing.Rong Mingxing rolled her eyes and clicked on the video to play it.
Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes and watched for a while.
Special Assistant Yang’s figure appeared on the phone screen.
Soon, his voice sounded. “The location has been sent to you. Gu Nianzhi’s phone still has cell reception, so you must be careful. I already gave the two security personnel the detour route, so you guys better not involve people other than the target. After all, they are military police from my country. If they die here, the domestic military will go berserk...”
“...How would I know why it can still be used?! Can’t you block the signal?! What a bunch of imbeciles! You’re really the elite of the super high-tech Japanese? You’re not an imposter?!”
Gu Nianzhi’s hand tightened and almost pulled the trigger.
Rong Mingxing trembled and said angrily, “...Are you going to shoot?! Don’t point it at my head! What if it goes off?! Don’t make me regret saving you!”
Gu Nianzhi snapped back to reality and narrowing her eyes she glanced at Rong Mingxing briefly before putting it away.
The barrel finally left Rong Mingxing’s head.
Rong Mingxing sighed heavily. She felt as though her heart had leaped into her throat.
She squatted down slowly and, clutching her chest as she stared at the dust on the ground, she started to weep.
“...wah wah wah... I really never thought of killing you... I wouldn’t dare... I’m afraid... I’m not a traitor... I’d rather die than conspire with the Japanese...”
Gu Nianzhi, “...”
D*mn it! She’s actually crying!
Perhaps she was going to thank her for her merciful grace?!
Holding the gun in one hand, Gu Nianzhi paced around the table in the middle of the room in irritation.
Rong Mingxing was extremely ill at ease and felt that her future seemed dreary and hopeless.
She almost became a convict.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to console her either.
She could understand her anxiety and trepidation. At that time, crying was the best way to vent it out.
After crying, she would feel relieved.
It was useless to console her.
Gu Nianzhi simply walked to the window and secretly observed the movement outside it through the cracks in the wooden boards nailed over the opening.
The curtains on the windows had long been torn into strips of dirty cloth that hung over the frame. The original color was no longer visible, and they looked like the ragged clothes a witch would wear.
She stared outside the window vigilantly and noticed that the noise outside was even louder.
Gu Nianzhi’s heart sank.
She thought that if her surroundings remained quiet, then it would soon be noticed if something happened to her there.
But if the surrounding area was already very noisy, even if she screamed at the top of her lungs, she probably wouldn’t be heard.
Were those people coming?
Gu Nianzhi blew the muzzle, and she actually kind of looked forward to it.
After Rong Mingxing cried her heart out, she was no longer so uncomfortable.
She wiped her tears and stood up from the ground. She saw Gu Nianzhi holding the gun in both hands as she leaned against the wall next to the window, looking sideways through the gaps.
The window had actually been sealed with wooden bars, and the room was dark, so the inside wasn’t visible from the outside.
But standing inside, through the cracks in the wooden slats, one could still see the outside.
There wasn’t much furniture in the room. In the center was a square table, like the Eight Immortals table from the Huaxia Empire.
There was a tall closet in the corner of the room, and it looked heavy.
On the other side of the room was a bed, but it had collapsed.
Gu Nianzhi stood sideways by the window. She kept her head a distance from the wall and stood straight. Her long legs were separated, and the trousers of her pants were tied into Martin boots.
The coat on her body was a men’s biker jacket with long sleeves, which were cuffed up to her elbows, and the outfit gave her a military vibe.
Rong Mingxing watched, then snorted disdainfully, asking angrily, “...You really can shoot? Where did you get the gun? Is it a real gun?”
Without looking back, Gu Nianzhi said in a flat voice, “Of course it is a real gun. As for where it came from, since it’s so chaotic outside, couldn’t I have picked it up?”
Rong Mingxing, “...”
She walked to the window and looked out, then said worriedly, “Let’s go. Our location is already known, and they are looking for you.”
Rong Mingxing had taken a shortcut, and even Special Assistant Yang was not as familiar with this path as she was.
Gu Nianzhi felt a little uneasy.
He Zhichu had told her to wait there for Speaker Long’s people to come to pick her up, then follow them.
But now Rong Mingxing said that the people on Speaker Long’s side had been led away, and the people who were coming were the Tokyo Secret Service.
These people were conspiring with Special Assistant Yang to kill her.
She didn’t believe it at first, but after watching the video and hearing what Special Assistant Yang said, she was shaken.
After thinking about it carefully, did Special Assistant Yang still hold a grudge?
Ten years of hard work was willfully destroyed by Gu Nianzhi. It was probably hard to get over, so he joined the dark side.
If she returned to Speaker Long, she had to face Special Assistant Yang.
Gu Nianzhi was unsure whether or not she should go to Speaker Long and report Special Assistant Yang.
After hesitating for a while, she wanted to call Speaker Long and ask what was going on.
But in case Special Assistant Yang was indeed a traitor, if she called Speaker Long, would Speaker Long be in danger?
What if Special Assistant Yang found out that the conspiracy was exposed and, out of desperation, he held Speaker Long hostage?
Gu Nianzhi knew that Special Assistant Yang had never thought about burning bridges with Speaker Long, so Speaker Long should be safe there.
But without calling Speaker Long to verify, could she trust Rong Mingxing?
Although Rong Mingxing had shown her the video, who knew whether or not it was a fake?
What if there was no problem with Special Assistant Yang, but there was with Rong Mingxing, instead?
Before there was conclusive evidence, Gu Nianzhi decided that neither party could be trusted.
After all, her life was her own, and everyone had only one.
She rubbed the phone and thought of He Zhichu.
However, she thought about how He Zhichu had used her mobile phone to go online. She didn’t know whether or not she could still receive calls now.
And thinking about the conspiracy, if she always contacted them, would the bad guys see through their plan?
The more she thought about it, the more Gu Nianzhi hesitated.
After a while, she put the gun away, went back to the small table, and sat down. She then said calmly, “I am not going. If you have to go, you go.”
“You–!” Rong Mingxing hadn’t suspected that Gu Nianzhi still didn’t believe her!
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and whispered, “I have to think about it. Do you have any other evidence besides the video?”
“You really don’t believe me.” Rong Mingxing shook with rage. “Okay, if you don’t believe me, I’ll go!” That said, she moved to rush out the door. However, at that moment, there was a banging sound on the door.
Rong Mingxing stopped immediately.
Gu Nianzhi also straightened up. She cocked her head at Rong Mingxing vigilantly and asked her to move away.
Rong Mingxing quickly moved and stood near the wall between the door and the window.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t speak either. She simply held the gun with both hands and pointed it in the direction of the door.
The people outside pounded on the door for a while and began to call Gu Nianzhi’s name, saying, “Miss Gu? Is it Miss Gu? We were sent by Speaker Long to pick you up. Open the door quickly. Speaker Long had received your location via text message.”
The person who pounded on the door spoke perfectly fluent Chinese. She couldn’t tell where he was from simply by listening...
Gu Nianzhi didn’t speak, and, furrowing her eyebrows, she quietly listened to what was being said outside the door. She tried to find flaws, either to prove that the people outside were fake or to prove that Rong Mingxing had bad intentions.
The room was quiet, and the two of them deliberately slowed down their breathing.
The people outside waited for a while, and, seeing that no one was inside, they couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
He took a step back and exchanged a look with the person next to him.
The other person understood and stepped forward to pound on the door. “Miss Gu? We were sent by Speaker Long to pick you up. Are you inside? If you are inside, can you please come out quickly? The mob is coming towards us here, and we don’t know what crazy things they will do... We only have two people and can’t stop so many people.”
Gu Nianzhi’s lips remained closed. She almost spoke, but suddenly remembered that Speaker Long had always told the security personnel that she was Lawyer Gu, and those security personnel were also used to referring to her that way.
The two of them kept calling her Miss Gu...
That was very suspicious.
So she restrained herself, pursed her lips tightly, and did not speak.
Rong Mingxing was frightened. She was worried that Gu Nianzhi would not believe her. She wanted to open the door and rush out.
In that case, the two of them would have died together.
Time flew by, and soon fifteen minutes passed.
Looking at the time, the two real security personnel who had taken the longer route were probably almost there.
As soon as they arrive, the two fakes would be exposed.
At that time, the people outside grew impatient and whispered, “...Forget it, I just looked through the window, and it’s dark inside. I don’t know if anyone is in there, but let’s do it. I think there is no one inside. After making sure no one’s there, let’s look for her again. I don’t believe the girl could have run that far!”
The other person nodded. “Do it. Then we’ll go after her!”
They raised their guns and fired several shots at the door lock.
Rong Mingxing hugged her head in terror. She squatted down by the door while covering her ears.
Gu Nianzhi was convinced that the people outside were fake security guards. She believed Rong Mingxing’s words and gestured to her with the gun, then motioned for her to get down. Using the table as a cover, she hid behind it, then raised her gun and pointed it in the direction of the door.
Boom!
A small round hole was formed by the two men shooting at the door lock.
The people outside squatted down and peeked inside from the hole.
Gu Nianzhi was quick, and she shot in the direction of the door!
The bullet soared through the man’s eye and went straight into his brain.
The man didn’t say a word. He immediately fell back dead in front of the door.
The other person was frightened and angry. He had never expected that the woman in the room would have a gun in her hand!
After blabbering some angry words in Japanese, he completely exposed their true identities.
Gu Nianzhi stopped hesitating and was ready to fight.
She rolled back, quickly moved away from the table, then pushed over the heavy cabinet in the corner of the house, and hid behind the cabinet.
When the closet fell to the ground, there was a loud bang in the room, and even the ground shook.
The person outside was taken aback. He was holding a semi-automatic submachine gun, and he manically started firing into the doorway. Firing shots into the table, he soon made it look like a honeycomb. The wooden tabletop was riddled with holes in an instant, and sawdust flew around. The table collapsed immediately.
