Chapter 1205: 1205
Gu Nianzhi happily took Huo Shaoheng’s arm and entered the hotel-style apartment they were staying in . It was already afternoon, and the sun around 2pm was viciously hot . Gu Nianzhi’s tiny face was red from sunburn and her forehead was also peeling a bit .
Huo Shaoheng looked at her face, “…You didn’t use sunscreen?”
Gu Nianzhi, “…”
With so many things happening and so many clues found–Huo Shao, did it make sense for you to only focus on sunscreen?!
But she still felt very happy .
Gu Nianzhi smiled and rolled her eyes, “I will definitely use some tomorrow . ”
Zhao Liangze followed them inside and overheard them talking about sunscreen . He smiled and said, “It’s useless and doesn’t actually matter . When I first came here, I was sure that I couldn’t get a tan . Now you can see for yourself…”
He pointed to his bronze colored skin .
Gu Nianzhi, “…”
She covered her face and ran to the master bedroom: “I’m going to apply a face mask!”
Hopefully it wasn’t too late to fix her burn .
After steering Gu Nianzhi away, Huo Shaoheng talked to Zhao Liangze about their arrangements in hushed tones .
“… They have lots of men and it has been confirmed that Li Dexi will be leading the team . This time will probably be more difficult to deal with than the last time with Reinitz . ”
Zhao Liangze’s heart was full of despair, but he was not nervous at all .
“It doesn’t matter . We are going to the sixth floor of the bank’s basement anyway . It’s not like they can all go down there, regardless of how many people they have . ”
Today, he and Gu Nianzhi carefully studied the topographic map of the basement and found that there was only one way to go to the basement from the ground floor .
This meant that they had to take control of the elevator first .
Moreover, the elevator was very small and the load capacity was not enough . It could only carry four people at most at a time, since it would be over capacity and automatically stop working as soon as more people got on .
Huo Shaoheng shook his head solemnly, “They have been planning for a long time, so they must all be going down . ”
Zhao Liangze opened his mouth and remarked sullenly, “What can we do then?”
He didn’t want to perish before he could even take action against the enemy . He must find that object and send Gu Nianzhi out safely before considering anything else .
“Is it because of Bai Shuang?” Zhao Liangze gritted his teeth, “Or should we… First… Control her…”
Huo Shaoheng shook his head again and replied calmly, “Bai Shuang is the bait they put out . What if we alert the enemy by removing Bai Shuang?
“Should we just let them do it then?” Zhao Liangze’s expression became even darker . “They have so many people . If worst comes to worst, we will suffer severely even if we don’t die . ”
Huo Shaoheng patted his shoulder and curled the corners of his lips, “That won’t be possible, don’t be so pessimistic . ”
Gu Nianzhi just put on the mask and walked outside . She only needed to hear the last sentence to know that this operation was very dangerous .
But because Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze were by her side, she didn’t really sense much of the danger .
For her, danger was always relative .
Sitting next to Huo Shaoheng, Gu Nianzhi said calmly, “Aside from the contents of the safe, their target is probably me . ”
Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze looked at her together, with blank expressions on their faces .
Zhao Liangze snickered, “Nanzhi, how can you be so smug? The target is you? Are you sure? Do you think you are the gold reserve or the largest diamond on the entire Blue Planet?”
Gu Nianzhi, “…”
Huo Shaoheng was worried about increasing Gu Nianzhi’s psychological burden, so he comforted her, “Their main target this time is not you, but me . ”
Gu Nianzhi, “!!!”
Was that supposed to be comforting?!
That made her even more nervous!
Gu Nianzhi immediately grabbed Huo Shaoheng’s shirt hem and her naturally dark eyebrows knitted together, “Then why aren’t you leaving right now?! Are you waiting for them to slaughter you?!”
“The person who can slaughter me hasn’t appeared in this world yet . ” Seeing Gu Nianzhi became more nervous, Huo Shaoheng couldn’t even tell what he was really feeling .
In this girl’s heart, he was always more important than herself .
He squeezed Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder tightly .
Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder was hurting a bit from Huo Shaoheng’s pinching, but she didn’t care . She looked at Huo Shaoheng with devotion and said in distress, “It looks like they have planned this for a long time, Huo Shao, let’s avoid the battle…”

They were unfamiliar with this place, and even if Huo Shaoheng and the others were prepared–Gu Nianzhi still felt it was too dangerous .
Who could guarantee that there would be no accidents in a situation like this?
Huo Shaoheng chuckled and leaned over and kissed the back of her hand, “It’s okay, Little Ze and I know how to sense danger . Don’t worry, go get some rest . You may not be able to sleep at all tonight . ”
Gu Nianzhi looked at Zhao Liangze and saw him also nod slightly . Knowing that they were going to talk about business, it wasn’t suitable for her to hear too much .
“Fine, I’ll go take a nap for a while . Remember not to be too careless . ” Gu Nianzhi touched the mask on her face, regretting that she could not kiss Huo Shaoheng .
She went back to the master bedroom, of course tossed about without getting any sleep .
She took out her phone and opened the topographic map of the bank to carefully study the basement layout .
From the vertical cross-section, the bank basement had six floors and was a perfectly straight rectangle .
The safe her father had rented was placed in an inconspicuous corner on the basement floor .
If the enemy had been prepared, where would they lie in ambush?
Gu Nianzhi widened her eyes to find a hiding place, but yawned and fell asleep soon after .
Gu Nianzhi was really not interested in looking at topographic maps .
In the living room outside, the doorbell rang . Huo Shaoheng stood up, “Someone is here to deliver the food I ordered . I will blend in with them and leave now, we can meet at the bank later . ”
Huo Shaoheng never thought of using a body double this time around .
He used himself as bait to trick the cunning Li Dexi into presiding over the mission himself .
If he used a body double, it would be too dangerous since there was almost a 99% chance that the other man would not come back alive .
He was not the kind of boss who pushed his subordinates into danger and took the glory for himself . He was unable to do such a cold hearted thing .
Moreover, Li Dexi was a suspicious man by nature . He had previously changed his plans during previous missions, so Huo Shaoheng was determined not to use a body double .
He needed to create an “out of sight” effect, so that Li Dexi would be certain of his arrival .

Because Li Dexi definitely believed that Huo Shaoheng was the only person who could break away from his surveillance from time to time .
If Huo Shaoheng can’t get rid of even his surveillance, then Li Dexi would doubt whether that was actually Huo Shaoheng .
Zhao Liangze never doubted Huo Shaoheng’s bold and pioneering ways . He was the kind of chief who asked his soldiers to “follow me” on the battlefield, not the kind of chief who drove others to “march ahead of me . ”
He nodded and allowed Huo Shaoheng to go to the back room to change his clothes, before going to open the door .
Outside the courtyard, a group of black people pushed the dining car inside . They wearing white uniforms and smiled as they said to Zhao Liangze in English, “Hello, the meal you ordered has arrived . ”
Zhao Liangze opened the courtyard door and said with a smile, “Please come in . ”
After all the black people came in, Zhao Liangze saw a woman in a red dress standing behind them . It was Bai Shuang .
She looked at Zhao Liangze with a smile, “I’m here again, do you need my help?”
“We don’t need your help with eating, and you can’t help with anything else either . ” Zhao Liangze’s eyes sparkled slightly as he joked around with Bai Shuang .
“How do you know that I can’t help if you don’t give me a chance?” Bai Shuang came uninvited and took the initiative to take his arm affectionately, “Let’s go, we can go inside the house and then chat . ”
Zhao Liangze stood motionlessly with his hands in his trouser pockets . He stared fixedly at Bai Shuang’s delicate and glamorous face, then suddenly lowered his face to peck her lips . He whispered in her ear, “Are you sure you want to come in?”
Bai Shuang was so flustered by this kiss that she almost lost her composure .
It took her a lot of effort to calm down . Bai Shuang stroked her hair with her hands, her eyes sparkling brilliantly as she looked at Zhao Liangze with a smile, “Of course I’m sure . Why else would I run over here?”
Zhao Liangze stopped talking and turned around to go inside .
Bai Shuang followed him in .
The dining room was quite large to begin with, but the spacious dining room suddenly became smaller since there were seven or eight tall black waiters squished in there .
Bai Shuang watched these people bustle around the dining room before placing all the food on the long table .
“You are going to have a buffet!” Bai Shuang was shocked, “I’ll be happy to help you dig in . ”
Zhao Liangze smiled, “Of course, we are all foodies and eat lots . ”
After arranging the plates, a few black waiters remained behind to serve the food .

The other ones pushed the dining car outside .
Huo Shaoheng had hidden himself amongst them for a long time by transforming himself into a black man, so he left with them .
Because this group of people was so dark skinned, barely anyone paid attention to what their facial features looked like .
Huo Shaoheng left the hotel area quietly without disturbing anyone .
Bai Shuang pushed a beer towards Zhao Liangze and asked casually, “Have you found the bank safety deposit box yet?”
“I found it, but it’s useless . ” Zhao Liangze did not hesitate to reply, “We don’t have any credentials, so there is no way for the bank to open the safe for us . ”
Aside from being unable to open it, they didn’t even have the opportunity to get close .
Bai Shuang’s eyes flickered before she whispered, “I know the bank executive, why don’t I ask him for you?”
“The bank executive is on call for you?” Zhao Liangze sneered, “Bai Shuang, I haven’t seen you for only a few months, but you’ve already become such an eloquent speaker . ”
“You don’t believe me?” Bai Shuang smiled and took out her phone . “I’ll make a call and we can see if he comes . ”
“Why would he come here? Because you’re so beautiful and have a nice figure?” Zhao Liangze rolled his eyes .
“Yeah, because I am beautiful . He is pursuing me and lives nearby . ” Bai Shuang was unwilling to show weakness and stabbed Zhao Liangze with her words .
Not long after the phone was dialed, the doorbell outside rang once again .
Bai Shuang smiled and got up, “He’s here, I’ll welcome him inside . ”
She gracefully walked out like she was the hostess .
The corners of Zhao Liangze’s mouth twitched as he punched the table hard .
