Chapter 1530: She’s Mine
Linda recalled that the Far East Bureau, saying that he was “the trump card that leaved a trail of corpses behind him”, often teased this boss who was called “Ace of the Far East”..
Although it was an exaggeration, it wasn’t far from the truth.
His ruthlessness, fierceness, and heartlessness were written in the induction manual of the new recruits of the Far East Bureau.
He had gone to the Middle East alone, and he had made his way to those countries. He caused a war that lasted for many years and resulted in countless deaths and injuries.
Finally, he had successfully exposed the CIA’s deployment in the Middle East, which caused a lot of trouble and caused both countries to complain about the CIA.
Until now, both countries only knew that they were at odds with each other, and at the same time, they both hated and feared the United States.
The KGB of the Soviet Union was successful, but no one knew their role in it.
This matter established his position as the “Ace of the Far East” in one fell swoop.
As colleagues, they naturally knew about this, but it was only now that she became one of the people who was honored to see the true face of this “Ace of the Far East”.
Before this, only the head of the KGB and the head of the Soviet Union, Pushin, knew his true face.
Linda didn’t deny that the moment she saw his true face, her heart almost stopped beating, her brain went completely blank, and her adrenaline level soared to the max.
She finally knew the reason she hadn’t settled down for so many years. It was because she was waiting for him.
They had been colleagues for so many years, yet she was only interested now.
But she also knew that this secret love wouldn’t have any results.
The Committee of State Security (KGB) would definitely expel her if she dared to show her love.
She couldn’t have her career and love at the same time. She only wanted to kiss every piece of land under his feet and bury her love in every corner that he passed by.
He only had to cough softly, and she would be able to throw away her armor.
Now that she was as quiet as a cicada in the cold, who would recognize that she was the KGB “Bombshell of the Far East” who had single-handedly killed 16 Japanese Secret Service on the South Kuril Islands?
Linda moved quickly. In the blink of an eye, she retrieved the poison needle and pressed it into her bracelet.
The corners of her mouth curled into a smile. Nothing had happened. That was good.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t realize that she had just escaped death, but she did feel Linda’s killing intent that couldn’t be ignored.
However, she wasn’t afraid.
Ever since she had been kidnapped and brought here, she had been trying her best to endure and use her most nonchalant attitude to lie to others as well as to herself.
It wasn’t until today, when she saw Huo Shaoheng’s counterpart, that all of her negative emotions, such as anger, unwillingness, resentment, and pain, finally erupted at this moment.
So what if she died? What’s the big deal?
Gu Nianzhi held the card and sneered at Linda, “What do you mean? You looked like you were about to kill someone. I have to call the police. My personal safety is threatened, and I’m worried that I’ll be lying dead in the pool when I walk out of this gambling hall. No, I care about my life too much. I’ve just turned 20, unlike you, who’s almost 30 and have lived enough.”
Linda’s expression changed after being provoked by Gu Nianzhi.
It was fine to call her cruel, but calling her “Auntie” and calling her “old”was intolerable.
Linda couldn’t take it anymore. She walked over to the gambling table in front of Gu Nianzhi and slapped it hard. She said angrily, “Are you done? ! Who wants your life? You’re so shameless!”
She had deliberately made herself look like a big-breasted, brainless, and hot-tempered vase.
This was her usual persona. It was very effective and never attracted anyone’s attention.
After all, who would think that a vase had brains and skills?
“My face isn’t as big as yours. Look at your big face. One face powder compact is probably only enough for you to use for two days.” Gu Nianzhi was waiting for someone to argue with her. Her expression immediately became eager. She took out her cell phone and was about to call the police.
“Miss…” A slender and beautiful hand reached out diagonally and pressed on her phone. His clear voice was emotionless, cold, and ruthless, “If you dial the number, and I guarantee that your body will be lying in front of the gambling table immediately. You don’t have to go to the pool outside.”
Gu Nianzhi ignored her threat and looked straight at the hands.
Every finger was perfect. The fingers were so straight that it was almost unreal. No joints could be seen in the middle, and the nails were well-manicured. They were even better maintained than a woman’s hands.
Unlike Huo Shaoheng’s hands, which were also clean but hadn’t been maintained, so there were small wounds on the back of the hands.
Just by looking at the hands, she knew that this person had nothing to do with the other side’s Huo Shaoheng.
They were the same, but different.
Just like Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang on this side, and Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang on the other side.
She raised her head and looked at his face again. It was really a familiar face that she remembered, but it had a completely different expression.
There was no emotion in the depths of his eyes. He just looked at her expressionlessly.
His custom-made casual suit half-open, he leaned closer. His long legs were crossed, and his silver phone peeked out from the pocket inside of the suit.
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes gradually turned red again. Large tears fell down her cheeks and dripped onto the back of the man’s hand.
Linda’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets! With such cowardice, she dared to challenge them?!
The ignorant were fearless!
“Even you want to kill me? !” Gu Nianzhi wiped away her tears and handed her neck over. She gestured with her hand. “Do it! Do you have a knife? Cut here!”
“… She’s really crazy…” Beginning to reflect on how she could pay so much attention to a crazy person, Linda muttered.
The Ace of the Far East was obviously shocked as well.
However, he quickly reacted and withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened. He looked at the dealer and calmly said, “Deal the cards. — From now on, you can’t just let a mentally ill person into your casino.”
“Who’s the mentally ill person you’re talking about?” Gu Nianzhi restrained her emotions and stopped crying. She glanced sideways at him and took a card from the dealer while using words to beguile him.
The Ace of the Far East ignored her, and Linda interrupted from behind. “Of course the mentally ill person he’s talking about is you.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and continued to play cards. “Since you admit that you’re mentally ill, I’ll forgive you and not lower myself to your level. Deal.”
Linda’s face darkened. She gritted her teeth behind Gu Nianzhi’s back and stared at her long hair, but didn’t dare to do anything else.
After playing a few more games, Gu Nianzhi won more and more. Just as she was about to continue gloating, her phone rang.
She picked it up. It was a call from Bai Shuang.
“Lawyer Gu, Director Zhao and Mr. Dresden want us to come over. Do you want to come out?”
Gu Nianzhi looked at her hand and gave up in pity. “I’ll come out. Wait a minute.”
She accepted the chips and handed them over to the casino to exchange for money to be deposited into her bank account.
She got up and left the casino. She lifted the dark golden velvet curtain and saw Bai Shuang waving at her from the opposite side.
She took a boat and left the hall with her.
Zhao Liangze and Dresden were waiting for them at the door.
Gu Nianzhi looked at them curiously. “Are you guys done talking? What’s next?”
Zhao Liangze laughed. “What’s next? Spicy hot pot. It’s all good stuff.”
Bai Shuang walked naturally to Zhao Liangze’s side and said, “Thank you, Director Zhao.”
“Miss Bai, you’re too kind. It was nothing.” Zhao Liangze’s attitude towards her was much gentler, and there was a hint of affection in it.
Gu Nianzhi looked at them with a smile and said, “You two are already so close, so why are you two being so polite to each other? You can call him Little Ze, and he can just call you Ah-Shuang.”
Bai Shuang blushed slightly and was about to decline when Zhao liangze interrupted her, “Okay, Ah-Shuang will call me Little Ze from now on.”
Bai Shuang was overjoyed and her smile became even sweeter and brighter.
The two of them looked at each other. Even if they were talking about something boring like how the weather was good tonight, they still found it interesting.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help rolling her eyes.
She really had too much PDA tonight. Although she wasn’t technically single, she was basically single. She couldn’t take it anymore and nodded at Zhao Liangze’s shoulder. “That’s enough. The PDA tonight is over the limit. Please spread it tomorrow. Don’t waste the PDA.”
Zhao Liangze laughed loudly. “Lawyer Gu, you’re jealous!”
“Jealous my ass!” Gu Nianzhi turned her gaze and saw a lonely Dresden standing by the side. She was about to walk over when she saw a look of surprise in Dresden’s eyes.
He took two steps forward and passed Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
She turned to follow Dresden’s gaze and saw that the Ace of the Far East and Linda had also come out.
It was obvious that Dresden was going after Linda.
He reached out his hand to her and was extremely excited. “Miss Linda, we meet again!”
Linda tilted her head and gave him a charming smile. “Mr. Dresden, I missed you very much.”
The two of them held hands and couldn’t part. They led the way down to the elevator.
The corners of Gu Nianzhi’s mouth twitched as she looked at the Ace of the Far East walking behind Linda.
He was expressionless, but the cold aura over his body was obvious.
Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang nodded at him and followed Dresden and Linda.
Gu Nianzhi fell behind and happened to walk side by side with the Ace of the Far East.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him and felt very bewildered. She couldn’t help asking, “Brother, your girlfriend ran off with someone. Aren’t you angry?”
She was sitting on his lap just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, someone else had grabbed her by the shoulder and entered the elevator. She had to give the dedicated KGB people a thumbs up for their coquettish actions.
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes were so bright that even the impassive Ace of the Far East couldn’t help but glance at her. He said coldly, “What has it got to do with you?”
Gu Nianzhi was in high spirits. “It has nothing to do with me. I’m just concerned about you, aren’t I? At least we had the chance to gamble just now. Don’t be so cold. Come, let’s be friends. My phone number is XXXXXXXX…”
The Ace of the Far East Huo Shaoheng:”…”
She actually wanted to be friends with him. Was this girl not afraid that she would die too soon?
The Ace of the Far East directly ignored her and walked towards the elevator.
Gu Nianzhi laughed lightly and chased after him while asking recklessly, “Are you trying to act like you don’t care? Don’t be afraid, there are plenty of other fish in the sea, so why do you have to love a single flower?”
Just as they were about to reach the elevator door, the Ace of the Far East suddenly stopped in his tracks. He stretched out his hand, and a cold gun barrel was pressed against Gu Nianzhi’s temple. He said coldly, “… Shut up.”
“Mr. Huo, please calm down!” He Zhichu, who was hiding in the dark, had no choice but to come out. He also raised a gun and aimed it at the Ace of the Far East, Huo Shaoheng. “She’s mine. You shoot, I’ll shoot.”
