Chapter 685: Tired of Living

The edge of Reinitz’s mouth twitched twice. He stood up with his hands inside his pants pockets. His casually mentioning something shocked Gu Nianzhi so much that she almost had a hard time breathing. “…Spread a big net, but it didn’t catch the big fish.”

Reinitz took two steps forward and stood in front of Gu Nianzhi. He leaned a bit toward her, moved close to her ear, and said in a low voice, “You see, the person that you are longing to protect hasn’t come to save you even now… It’s really regrettable.” After saying it, Reinitz turned around and walked out of Gu Nianzhi’s little room.

When Gu Nianzhi heard the sound of the door lock, she knew she was being held captive for real this time. They had already shed all pretense of cordiality and stopped “role playing.” They naturally stopped treating her like a guest.

Should she behave like a prisoner from then? Gu Nianzhi got down from the bed and sat next to the bed. She hugged her knees and silently stared at the snowy-white wall in a daze.

…

After Reinitz locked Gu Nianzhi in the room, he gave the key to Dina. “Look after her. There are still questions that need to be answered. Don’t let her escape.”

Dina held the key and said out of surprise, “What happened? Could it be that she has something to do with it?!”

Besides Reinitz, none of them knew Gu Nianzhi was the “Little Pink Pig” that turned everything upside down. After all, she was only an 18-year-old little girl. However, her knowledge of the law was better than most people’s. How was it possible that she knew how to use a computer to that degree, too? At most, they thought she was somehow related to it.

“She has very important clues, but she hasn’t said anything…” Reinitz was vague. Inside, he was at a loss. He was usually very decisive. It was the first time in his life that he was indecisive.

Dina was in a state of confusion as she watched Reinitz leave. She couldn’t help herself and called out, “Reinitz, do you know what you are doing?!”

Reinitz stopped walking. He stopped, but he didn’t turn around. He raised his head and looked at the pitch-black night sky. He didn’t say anything and continued walking. He got into his car and started the engine. The headlights shone brightly, and Dina automatically used her arm to shield her eyes. Reinitz’s race car’s engine made a roaring sound. It quickly disappeared from the road the little bar was on like an arrow.

The bartender was also a member of the Federal Intelligence Agency. He looked worried as he looked in the direction Reinitz disappeared in. He then looked at Gu Nianzhi’s locked door. He asked in a low voice, “What happened? Did he really have to lock her up?”

“Leave it alone. Go home. I will guard today.” Dina waved her hand and let the bartender go home.

There was only the lady boss, Dina, and Gu Nianzhi in the little bar. Dina started to have bitter hatred toward Gu Nianzhi when she found out that Gu Nianzhi was somehow related to the Little Pink Pig hacker. She wouldn’t even give her dinner to eat.

Gu Nianzhi wasn’t even a bit hungry anyway because of the heated discussion she had with Reinitz. She was very sleepy. She climbed onto the bed and slept until around midnight. She woke up when she heard a car suddenly brake outside the door. She rubbed her eyes. She wondered if Reinitz had come to interrogate her again.

She guessed wrong. It was Als. He rushed over there with a killing aura. Dina opened the bar’s door as she yawned. As she let Als in, she muttered, “It’s late. Are you in a rush to be reincarnated?!”

“Reincarnated?! I am in a rush to give an abortion!” Als looked at her. “Is Gu Nianzhi still here?! I want to take her away!”

Dina was even more surprised. “What’s going on? Reinitz came here late in the evening and then locked her inside the room, and now you say you want to take her away?!” Why don’t you guys fight it out? I’ll listen to whoever wins!

Als groaned. “Reinitz is obsessed with her! Don’t mind him!” He had just found out that the person who was related to the hacker Little Pink Pig was Gu Nianzhi. He was livid. He angrily rushed toward that little room’s front door where Gu Nianzhi was. He kicked the door and almost broke his foot. The special door made of metal didn’t budge. Als exclaimed in frustration. He angrily pulled out his gun and aimed it at lock on the door.

Dina quickly cried out to stop him. “Don’t shoot! I have the key here!” She didn’t give it much thought as she handed over the key Reinitz had given her. Anyway, before Reinitz left, he didn’t say anything about her not being allowed to give others the key.

Als took the key. He unlocked the door with a composed face, and then he kicked it again. This time, the door opened with a bang. Gu Nianzhi, who just woke up, quickly hugged the blanket tightly. She lifted her head to look at Als. It was as if she were looking at a crazy person.

Als was so angry that he wanted to kick her! He was wearing tall leather boots. He kicked her, hard. Even if Gu Nianzhi didn’t die, she would have cerebral palsy.

Dina was extremely surprised, and all the color drained out of her face. She quickly grabbed Als from behind and said, “Calm down, Als! Reinitz said she has important clues! Won’t you lose the clue if you beat her up?!” How will we locate the emails if something happens to Gu Nianzhi?!

Als had suppressed his anger for two days and one night. If he didn’t vent his anger, he would go crazy! “Let go of me! I won’t hit her! But she has to go with me!” Als was so angry that his feet were stomping on the floor. He was so strong that Dina practically couldn’t hold onto him anymore.

At that time, Dina regretted it very much. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have given Als the key. If he really did take Gu Nianzhi with him, Reinitz would definitely blame her. “Als, don’t make this difficult for me.” Dina became serious. “Think about what Reinitz said.”

Als waved his arms around. Laughter came out of his mouth like a wild animal. The corner of Gu Nianzhi’s mouth twitched when she saw that. How was it that she didn’t see that Als was wild, irritable, and crazy before!? The head of the secret service is this kind of person? There is no future for the Federal Intelligence Agency. No wonder small fries like me can clean them out…

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but feel proud. Nevertheless, seeing Als’ craziness was still pretty scary. Being looked down upon by a crazy person was not a big deal, but being hit by a crazy person would be really painful. Gu Nianzhi put the blanket over herself again.

After Als screamed madly for a while, he was in a better mood. He gasped for breath as he angrily looked at Gu Nianzhi. He senselessly aimed the gun in his hand at her head. He clenched his teeth and said, “Talk! Who did it?!”

Gu Nianzhi’s face still had an expression of terror, however, her heart was full of curiosity. Why was it that Reinitz didn’t tell these two that she was the one who did it?! Just now, Dina said that Reinitz only said she had a very important clue. Now, Als also came to interrogate her about who did it.

So Reinitz didn’t tell them the truth? Since Reinitz didn’t say it, Gu Nianzhi wasn’t stupid enough to voluntarily say that she was the one who did it. She thought she was going to be dead for sure. However, a little spark of hope of surviving had ignited in her due to Reinitz. If he hadn’t ratted her out, she would go along with it.

Gu Nianzhi stubbornly turned her head. Suddenly, all kinds of revolutionary martyrs possessed her body. She had the look of, “I won’t talk. I won’t talk, even if you kill me. I won’t talk. I refuse to talk!”

Als became even more angry. He suddenly got closer to Gu Nianzhi and grabbed her hair. He pulled her out of the blanket.

Gu Nianzhi wore the long-sleeved pajamas that Dina had given her to sleep in. She was not afraid of them seeing her in them. However, having her hair pulled was really painful. She quickly tried to break free from Als’ grip. She was irritated. “Let go! What kind of man hits a woman?!”

There was no need to talk to a spy who betrayed those who were taking care of them about how a man should treat a woman. Als had an ugly grin on his face. With a whoosh of his hand, he slapped her. Blood came out from the corner of Gu Nianzhi’s mouth and instantly half of her face swelled up. Gu Nianzhi endured it as she clenched her teeth. She didn’t make a sound. She wouldn’t give Als the pleasure of abusing her.

Als slapped her again. However, when he saw her not making a sound, his mood became worse. He pulled her hair and dragged her out of the little room to the lobby in the bar. Of course, no one else was there. Sitting on the counter of the bar was Dina wearing her pajamas while making drinks. She wasn’t even looking at them.

Als took out handcuffs. He cuffed Gu Nianzhi’s right hand to the bar’s iron railing. He continued asking questions. “Know your place. Now, tell me who is ‘Little Pink Pig’ and where she is or else! I have thousands of ways to make you wish you were dead!”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart sank. She was afraid of pain, afraid of being tortured. However, what she was even more afraid of was not dying from torture if they found out about her secret, her fast-healing body… To her, that was more terrifying than being tortured.

If it was going to be like that, she might as well make Als so angry with her that he would kill her with his gun. The faster one died, the earlier one reincarnated. It was better than being tortured slowly.

Gu Nianzhi laughed coldly and said, “I will point at whoever you want me to point at. I will frame whoever you want me to frame. You are the boss. I will take down whoever you want to be taken down. I am afraid of pain. I’m afraid that you will hit me again. Tell me, who do you want to take the blame? The lady boss? The bartender? Or is it Reinitz?”

“You even dare to sow dissension among us?!” Als was extremely angry with Gu Nianzhi. He was itching to stomp her. “Wanna see if I’m capable of killing you?!” He had never seen anyone that would still quarrel with him so smoothly when he was angry. You must really be tired of living.
