Chapter 1148 - Rendezvous With Her

Chapter 1148 Rendezvous With Her

Special Assistant Yang stared at her suspiciously for a second, then turned around and saw that the other two security personnel seemed to be gone. He felt nervous and asked, “Speaker Long, have you sent someone to look for Lawyer Gu? It seems that it has become even more chaotic outside.”

“Yes, they just left.” Speaker Long nodded kindly. His impression of Rong Mingxing worsened a little.

They were all about the same age, but Gu Nianzhi was obviously more willing to endure hardships, and Rong Mingxing… was slightly worse.

Special Assistant Yang didn’t have the time to get to the bottom of Rong Mingxing’s abnormal behavior. He quickly thought of an excuse and said to Speaker Long, “I will go out and see if I can help. I hope that Lawyer Gu will stay safe, and nothing will happen.”

“Alright, you can go. Report to me if the situation changes.” Speaker Long looked out the door and appeared very worried.

The shopping mall had lost power, and after a while, it was as hot as a steamer.

Although the shopping mall had its own generators, it was obviously unable to support such a high-power central air conditioner, so the air conditioner still hadn’t switched on. Only the lights were still on.

Special Assistant Yang ran out of the meeting room and towards the shopping center gate.

Rong Mingxing followed him from a distance, then turned on the camera on her phone and started recording.

She saw him catch up with the two security guards in front of him.

The two security personnel were looking at the location sent by Gu Nianzhi on their phones.

Special Assistant Yang walked over and patted one of them on the shoulder and smiled calmly as he asked, “Please wait a little. Do you two know that place? I am familiar with that place, so should I go with you?”

The man turned around and smiled at him, then said, “This place isn’t that far away, right?” Then, he showed the location on his phone to Special Assistant Yang.

Special Assistant Yang remembered the location in a glance. He nodded quickly and said, “The direct distance isn’t that far, but because these streets are blocked by the mob, you can’t go straight there. You have to go around and pass through several streets.” As he said this, he also gave specific directions on how to get there.

He gave them the correct route, but it was the longer route.

The two security personnel took notes, then shook their heads and said, “It’s still quite far away.”

Special Assistant Yang was also shocked that Gu Nianzhi had managed to run that far in ten minutes, but he quickly dismissed the idea and followed the two security personnel out a small door, then said, “It should be closer from here. There are fewer people here.”

It was completely chaotic outside.

Smoke billowed everywhere, and fire blazed in the sky.

The sirens of fire trucks and police cars rang one after another, and the military police began to dispatch.

Special Assistant Yang narrowed his eyes and watched the two security personnel walk away with his hands behind his back.

Rong Mingxing heard him clearly from behind and knew that Special Assistant Yang had given them the long route.

Her heart trembled, and she quietly hid to avoid Special Assistant Yang’s sight.

Although Rong Mingxing hadn’t been in New Delhi for a long time, she still remembered the area because there was an Indian DMV nearby, and she had gone through the driver’s license procedures with the embassy staff.

Special Assistant Yang was very nervous. He stood in front of the small door and called again, saying, “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! Are you really the elite of the super high-tech Japanese? You’re not an imposter?!”

Special Assistant Yang angrily yelled, “sh*t,” before closing the small door and turning around to leave.

After he left, Rong Mingxing ran out of her hiding place and opened the small door to take a look.

The situation outside overwhelmed her. She had grown up in a peaceful environment and had never witnessed such a chaotic scene.

It wasn’t that she had never thought of stepping back, but she couldn’t stand by indifferently when she thought of the fate that awaited Gu Nianzhi.

Rong Mingxing knew that she was not a good person with perfect morals, and at times she was quite calculating.

But those were trivial and petty grievances against others.

She never thought of killing anyone, let alone taking the life of her countrymen by teaming up with outsiders.

What Special Assistant Yang did not only overwhelmed her conscience with guilt, but it also exceeded her personal line in the sand.

Rong Mingxing recalled the route she had just heard, then gritted her teeth and rushed out.

When the inspectors in the shopping center found a small door open, they cursed as they walked over and locked it.

…

The streets of New Delhi were full of burning buses and cars, as well as Indians lying motionless on the ground, perhaps dead or simply unconscious.

Fire trucks and police cars were obviously insufficient at this time, and they could handle the east side but not the west side.

Rong Mingxing ran with all her strength. She hoped that Gu Nianzhi would remain safe before she arrived, and hoped that she could make it there in time.

In order to save time, she ran into an alley.

The alley was dark and dirty, and there was trash everywhere, but the people usually there seemed to have gone out into the street and weren’t around, so it was actually less congested than the streets.

Finally, she saw the place where Gu Nianzhi was positioned.

It turned out to be a dilapidated house that should have been abandoned. The roof looked as though it was about to break completely, and the house was crumbling.

Rong Mingxing looked around and saw that those people hadn’t caught up yet, so she pounded on the door and whispered, “Gu Nianzhi? Gu Nianzhi? Are you inside?”

Gu Nianzhi sat on a small table in the middle of the room with her knees folded.

She suddenly heard someone knocking on the door and calling her name, and upon realizing that it was Rong Mingxing’s voice, she was very surprised. She got off the table and went to the window to take a look.

There was only Rong Mingxing outside the door, and she looked terrified, but she still pounded the door relentlessly.

Gu Nianzhi was silent.

She quickly walked over, yanked off the iron bar door latch, then pulled Rong Mingxing in. She placed the door latch back in position and leaned back against the door as she glared at Rong Mingxing suspiciously. “What are you here for?”

Rong Mingxing had rescued her earlier, but she also left her behind and abandoned her.

Not knowing what to say for a while, Rong Mingxing tugged the corners of her mouth.

In the quiet abandoned house, with the dust dancing in the light, the two young women standing opposite each other seemed very out of place with their environment.

Boom!

There was a loud noise outside, and someone was either cheering or yelling. Noisy clamor sounded, and the silence vanished.

Gu Nianzhi became more confused, and raising one hand quickly, she pointed her gun at Rong Mingxing, asking, “…it was you who led them here?!”

Rong Mingxing snapped back to reality, and knowing that Gu Nianzhi had misunderstood, she waved her hand and said, “It wasn’t me! I’m here to tell you that someone is out for your life!”

“As if I don’t already know?” Gu Nianzhi snorted coldly without lowering the muzzle. “You pressed me under your body, and it appeared as though you were saving me on the surface but in reality… you were purposely stalling so that I wouldn’t get through the door in time, right?”

Rong Mingxing felt extremely bitter inside, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

She decided to bite the bullet and said bluntly, “Yes! I wanted to stall so that I could teach you a lesson! I despised you for being so arrogant every day! But, I, I never thought of killing you! It was Special Assistant Yang that wanted to kill you!”

After that, she told her about eavesdropping on Special Assistant Yang’s phone conversation, then said, “…I know I have done many harmful things towards you, but I still want to say, I never have, nor would I ever dare try to kill you!”

After listening to her quietly, Gu Nianzhi was secretly stunned.

Although she knew that He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng were secretly protecting her, according to Rong Mingxing’s words, the enemy put in a lot of effort and even involved the Tokyo Secret Service’s elites.

Why did they only want her dead?

Even if Special Assistant Yang hated her so much that he wanted her dead, why did the Tokyo Secret Service dispatch elites to help Special Assistant Yang?

According to common sense, with the help of a high-ranking insider such as Special Assistant Yang, shouldn’t they try to assassinate Speaker Long in order to achieve greater results?

But they gave up Speaker Long and targeted her, a young woman who had just entered the parliament…

Could it be that they could get something more from killing her?

Thinking of what He Zhichu had revealed, Gu Nianzhi immediately understood.

These people were probably tied to the charity foundation Angel in the World, right?

Because when she thought about it, that charity foundation probably wanted her dead the most.

As long as she died, the course of her lawsuit could be reversed, and the other party wouldn’t have to lose money.

There would be no need to return everything that belonged to her father, Gu Xiangwen.

Thinking of the materials and manuscripts that the old Japanese men had sent back to her, Gu Nianzhi felt boiling rage inside.

At that time, she simply lamented why He Zhichu didn’t leave her with a semi-automatic submachine gun instead!

The pistol was not enough to vent her anger.

Gu Nianzhi took a step closer and pressed the muzzle against Rong Mingxing’s forehead. “Why should I trust you? How can you prove that what you just said is true?”

Rong Mingxing angrily took out the phone she had just recorded Special Assistant Yang with. “See for yourself!”
