Chapter 1124 You Know What I WanReinitz looked at her with a smile before continuing to smoothly drive to the entrance of Hepingli community where Gu Nianzhi resided.Gu Nianzhi displayed her entry pass to the community security guard and he opened the gate to allow their car in.

Reinitz drove a visitor’s car, so he was able to park at the visitor parking spots in front of the building.

Gu Nianzhi got into the elevator with him.

Reinitz was carrying several paper bags, all of which were the groceries he bought from the supermarket.

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the solemn German man look so domestic. She said, “This is really damaging your image, Major General Reinitz.”

Reinitz looked at her with tenderness, “I’d rather not have an image to upkeep when I’m with you.”

Gu Nianzhi shrugged, “Reinitz, you will be aesthetically fatigued if you keep acting like this.”

Reinitz chuckled as he got out of the elevator.

Gu Nianzhi unlocked the door and welcomed Reinitz inside.

She had to admit that Reinitz knew her quite well.

Gu Nianzhi would certainly find an excuse to decline Reinitz if he invited her out to dinner at a restaurant.

How could someone who refused to take the first bite of food when she was fleeing, easily fall into someone else’s trap?

Reinitz was both elated and furious by this trait of Gu Nianzhi’s.

So in order to make Gu Nianzhi completely let her guard down, he chose to cook a full meal for her at her own home.

Gu Nianzhi changed her shoes while bringing Reinitz a pair of men’s slippers to wear.

Reinitz had visited her home once before. So this time, he was able to access her kitchen with familiarity.

He set the things down and began to make preparations.

Gu Nianzhi was a bit speechless to see him wear a bespoke Armani suit while washing vegetables at the sink. She found an apron and said with a smile, “This is my apron, are you willing to put it on for now?”

Reinitz turned to look at it before nodding his head.

Wiping his hands clean, he removed his suit jacket to reveal the white striped shirt inside. With Gu Nianzhi’s baby bear apron around his body, his elegant demeanor now somehow contained a trace of cuteness.

Gu Nianzhi squinted her eyes at him for sometime before saying, “If you take a photo looking like this and post it on Weibo, I’m sure you will attract many fans…”

Reinitz glanced at her, “I’m not taking any photos or attracting any fans.”

Gu Nianzhi, “…”

Reinitz was just about to say something to her when he heard the tiny communicator in his ear ring. He said to Gu Nianzhi, “Go get some rest, I’ll call you out for dinner when I’m done cooking.”

Gu Nianzhi also thought she looked pretty silly standing on the sidelines, but she didn’t want to help Reinitz cook dinner either.

“Ok then, I’ll tidy up the house.” As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she returned to her bedroom. She locked the door before going to the bathroom to shower.

She was accustomed to immediately taking a shower after going home. That way, she could fully enjoy dinner in comfort.

Reinitz heard Gu Nianzhi close the door and knew it was the perfect opportunity.

He accepted the call on his communicator and asked in German, “Was there something, Mr. Li Dexi?”

Li Dexi’s voice sounded somewhat exhausted, “Reinitz, are you doing well?”

“I’m very well.” Reinitz nodded. His voice was so quiet that no one could hear what he was saying unless they stood very close to him.

“I heard someone tried to kill you tonight?”

“It’s hard to tell what actually happened. I’m very confused too.” Reinitz replied emotionlessly, “I called Gu Nianzhi this afternoon inviting her to dinner and we decided on a time. But I ended up waiting from 5pm to past 6pm before she got off work. Afterwards, two cars suddenly sandwiched me on the highway and even cracked the glass on my windows, but luckily enough I was driving a bulletproof car.”

Li Dexi thought this made sense and the series of events matched up as well, so his tone softened, “If that’s the case, you should be careful. We are going back to Germany soon, so don’t go causing any trouble.”

“But Mr. Li Dexi, aren’t I fulfilling your request?” Reinitz replied humbly, “Don’t you want Gu Nianzhi anymore?”

A smile slowly appeared on Li Dexi’s face, “Ok, I’ll give you a big reward if you can make her return to Germany with you!”

“You know that I’m not interested in a big reward. You know what I actually want.” Reinitz ended the call, then shut off the tiny communicator.

…

At the same moment, Huo Shaoheng received the news about Reinitz taking Gu Nianzhi home and their car being randomly shot at.

“Gunshots? Is she ok?” As Huo Shaoheng asked this, he opened Gu Nianzhi’s tracking information.

When he saw that her location was at Hepingli, he knew she must have gotten home safely.

“She’s ok. Reinitz was driving a bulletproof car and the enemy didn’t seem to anticipate this.”

Huo Shaoheng was only somewhat reassured, “Investigate where the attacking trucks are right now. I suspect the license plates are fake.”

The Special Operations Forces personnel in charge of protecting Gu Nianzhi was calling Huo Shaoheng.

He scratched his head awkwardly, “Huo Shao, how did you know the license plates were fake?”

They were actually fake. He had just investigated the two license plates with the traffic police and confirmed the two trucks were driving with fake plates.

Huo Shaoheng calmly turned on his computer, “Did you take any photos? Send them over to me.”

The personnel immediately sent his photos over.

Huo Shaoheng took a look to see it was two normal-looking Ford trucks. The license plates looked like they may be fake plates attached on top of the real ones. This meant the incident was deliberate and premeditated.

Who else was targeting Gu Nianzhi before Hong Kangquan, Tan Dongbang and Cai Songyin were successively arrested?

Huo Shaoheng rubbed his chin with one hand, his eyes gradually becoming harsh and tenacious.

So they think they could escape using fake plates?

Huo Shaoheng picked up his phone and commanded his personnel, “Go to the head of the traffic police and ask them to investigate all Ford trucks that appeared in the Imperial Capital today. I don’t think there are too many of these kinds of vehicles, so we should be able to find them if we look one by one.”

“Roger, Chief!”

…

Gu Nianzhi finished showering and came out humming a melody. Just as she changed into her loungewear, she heard the phone ring with Huo Shaoheng’s special ringtone.

Gu Nianzhi immediately took the phone and slid the screen to unlock. She asked with a smile, “Huo Shao, what is it?

Was he checking on her again?

At the moment, Gu Nianzhi actually felt her head begin to hurt.

In the past, she wanted nothing more than to have Huo Shaoheng check on her. But now, everything had reversed.

Huo Shaoheng asked calmly, “…Did Reinitz take you home today?”

Gu Nianzhi, “…”

Just as she expected.

Gu Nianzhi nodded and said with a smile, “That’s right, he said he wanted to treat me to dinner and cook for me. He’s in the kitchen right now.”

Huo Shaoheng leaned back against the chair and answered emotionlessly, “You agreed just because he invited you to dinner?”

“…He mentioned something related to Hong Kangquan. I was thinking that I should talk to him about it.” Gu Nianzhi didn’t avoid the topic, “I still think that there is more to Hong Kangquan’s situation—we only know what he was willing to confess, but we have no way of knowing anything he refuses to talk about.”

“I will thoroughly investigate the Hong Kangquan situation.” Huo Shaoheng coughed, “You can’t deal with someone like Reinitz in private. This will violate your code of conduct with the Senate. How about I ask Big Xiong to bring Qiqi to your house, so they can try Reinitz’s cooking?”

Gu Nianzhi, “…”
