Because they were still on the streets, Reinitz did not answer.He smiled and pointed to a restaurant not far ahead. “That’s a very good Russian steakhouse. You can eat steaks while Cereus and I can try the authentic Russian food over there.”

Huo Shaoheng nodded and narrowed his eyes.

The steakhouse looked like a castle. It had red walls, black tiles, and its windows were like those of a church. There were also colorful paintings on the walls.

It looked even more impressive after they walked inside. It was decorated with gold and jade, like the Kremlin.

Gu Nianzhi’s expression appeared a little ambivalent. She glanced at Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng’s expression did not change. He followed Reinitz into the restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, a handsome Russian waiter wearing a white shirt, black suit pants, and a small bow tie walked over to greet them.

Reinitz spoke in fluent Russian, “Give us a private dining room with a big window. ” He then stuffed the tip into the waiter’s hands.

“This way, please.” The waiter greeted them warmly and brought them to the best private dining room in the restaurant.

Since it wasn’t noon yet, there weren’t many people there, so when the waiter gave them the best private dining room, no one in the restaurant objected.

As they walked towards the private dining room, Gu Nianzhi was looked at her phone as she walked. She was chatting with Qiqi, so she fell behind.

At that moment, a familiar-looking hostess in a leopard print outfit walked past her. She joked with the receptionist before striding away in her high heels.

She was the “girlfriend” of the president whom they had met in the Kremlin yesterday..

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but ask the waiter, ” … Who was that? Is she acquainted with you all? ”

The waiter replied in English, “She’s our boss. This steakhouse belongs to her and has many branches across the country. ”

Gu Nianzhi immediately understood.

No wonder the decor here could rival that of the Kremlin. She is the future queen of the palace..

Gu Nianzhi smiled as she winked at the waiter, then walked into the private dining room.

After sitting down, Gu Nianzhi picked up the menu and glanced at it. She immediately started laughing.

Reinitz really had a way of picking restaurants.

Although this steakhouse was famous for its steaks and beef burgers, it also served a variety of famous Russian dishes and had a variety of seafood dishes to choose from!

“What seafood dish here is the best? ” Gu Nianzhi asked the waiter who served the dishes.

The waiter smiled and introduced them to her. “We have king crab fresh from the Bering Strait here. Its meat is delicious and plump. Would you like to try one, Miss? ”

“King Crab? That’s an impressive name. Sure, I’d like one. ” Gu Nianzhi then asked Huo Shaoheng and Reinitz, “Would you two like one king crab for each of you? ”

Before Huo Shaoheng and Reinitz could say anything, the waiter beside them twitched his lips and reminded Gu Nianzhi, “Miss, the King Crab we have here is very big. One King Crab weighs about five kilograms. One King Crab will be enough for the three of you. ”

Gu Nianzhi almost trmbled with joy.

Oh dear, eating a crab weighing five kilograms will definitely be a feast today!

Gu Nianzhi didn’t order anything else after ordering the king crab.

Reinitz gestured for Huo Shaoheng to order.

Huo Shaoheng picked up the menu and glanced at it. He saw that Gu Nianzhi had already ordered the steamed king crab, so he ordered a medium-rare steak and a bottle of 1982 lafite red wine.

Reinitz said, “When drinking Raphaël, have some white seared prawns along with it. They’re made from Mantis shrimp. It’s said that the Mantis shrimp here are wild caught instead of farmed. ”

The mantis shrimp was also known as the shrimp crawler. It was a creature that lived in the deep sea, and its meat was especially delicious.

The boiled shrimp was served with red wine. A Gestapo priest was indeed quite particular about food.

After the dishes were ordered, the waiter brought them cheese desserts and lettuce salads as appetizers.

When the dishes were served, Huo Shaoheng asked Reinitz again, “What do you want to discuss? How much do outsiders know about what you and Li Dexi know? ”

Huo Shaoheng’s question was very implicit, but Reinitz and Gu Nianzhi understood.

His expression as cold as ice, Reinitz leaned back in his chair. His words were even colder than ice.

“Li Dexi knows things that even I don’t know. ” He gave Gu Nianzhi a meaningful look. “But I believe that if even I don’t know, no one else could possibly know either. ”

It basically confirmed Huo Shaoheng’s suspicions, but this did not eliminate his doubts. Instead, his heart sank.

The fact that Li Dexi had personally led his men to Cape City to set up a trap showed his covetous interest in Gu Nianzhi .

But why?

Could it be that Li Dexi knew about Gu Nianzhi’s unique physique was because of eugenics?

However, Gu Nianzhi’s grandfather, Gu Haize, had clearly stated in the letter that the Daiwa Scientists’ experiments had all failed. She was not a product of success, but a product of failure..

Or had he himself misunderstood and Gu Haize was simply being modest?

However, when he thought of the deeply moving and passionate letter, Huo Shaoheng rejected the idea.

He believed that at that time, Gu Haize did not have spare energy to be courteous.

What he said must have been the truth.

Therefore, the Gu family’s genes probably had not developed further.

Huo Shaoheng remembered the reason Gu Yanran and her mother, Gu Jing, had been adopted. It was to treat Gu Nianzhi’s aunt, Gu Tian’s illness..

Her illness developed after she had given birth to a child. The genetic defect had finally broken out, and caused her immune system to shut down. She had died not long after giving birth.

Therefore, it was very likely that Gu Nianzhi had this sort of genetic defect as well.

However, she hadn’t shown any symptomns yet.

Huo Shaoheng’s gaze was fixed, and his expression became even more serious. He said in a low voice, “I think you already know about Li Dexi. Actually, it’s not just you. The Russian KGB and our special operations forces have also received news. ”

Reinitz smiled. “Major General Huo, there’s no longer any need to hide it from me by now. I’ve already said that I’m no longer a member of the Federal Intelligence Agency. I’m only temporarily taking over some of Mr. Li Dexi’s duties. Also… ”

Reinitz glanced at Gu Nianzhi. “If I wanted to tell, I would have done so long ago. ”

Huo Shaoheng pondered it over for a few seconds. He felt that Reinitz was somewhat trustworthy.

He did not beat around the bush and said, “Li Dexi really died at the hands of a woman. That woman died with him. ”

Reinitz was a little surprised. ” … It wasn’t you? ”

He had always thought that if there existed someone in the world who could take care of Li Dexi, it would be Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng shook his head.

Gu Nianzhi shook her head as well. She said unhappily, “Reinitz, are you looking down on women or something? Does the notion of Li Dexi dying in the hands of a woman so farfetched? Besides, she died along with him. ”

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes reddened at the thought of Bai Shuang.

Reinitz gazed at her for a while then handed her a piece of tissue. “Okay, I believe you. But Li Dexi isn’t interested in women at all… ”

“It’s not his own woman, it’s the woman he was trying to win over, ” Huo Shaoheng said calmly. “To be precise, it’s the person he was trying to turn. ”

Reinitz immediately understood. “So his own trap backfired on him. ”

Then he gave Huo Shaoheng a thumbs up. “It seems like my suspicions were correct. Li Dexi was going to lose to you in the end no matter what. ”

He thought that Huo Shaoheng had set a double trap.

Huo Shaoheng chuckled but did not explain further.

Li Dexi was already dead anyway. There was nothing wrong with letting these Gestapo men fear him.

He might as well take some of the credit for himself.

However, Bai Shuang really wasn’t a double trap set by him.

“Li Dexi died very quickly. He was shot in the carotid artery. ” Huo Shaoheng gestured. “Is there anything else you want to ask? ”

“No, that’s enough. ” Reinitz raised his wine glass. “My feelings regarding him are very ambivalent. He was my godfather, but after I found out about their plans, I couldn’t face them anymore. ”

” … Reinitz, did you become a priest to escape? ” Gu Nianzhi asked curiously. “But you’re not that kind of person! ”

“I am that kind of person. ” Reinitz lowered his eyes. “I don’t want to be torn between my country and you. I don’t want to become an enemy for both sides. ”

Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”

Huo Shaoheng didn’t say anything either.

The three of them were quiet for a while. The waiter knocked on the door and pushed the dining car in.

In the middle of the room was a large silver hemispherical plate with a lid. It was the king crab that weighed five kilograms!

Gu Nianzhi’s attention was immediately drawn to the king crab.

As soon as it was placed on the dining table and the semicircular lid was removed, Gu Nianzhi immediately took out her phone and took photos of the king crab from various angles.

She immediately posted the caption on her Wechat moments: “This is my first time eating a king crab from the Bering Strait. I hope it’s really delicious!”

The KGB driver was the first to like it. He even commented: “It is very delicious, but it’s also extremely expensive! “!

Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”

Not long after, the second-in-command of the KGB, Vladimir, became the second person to like it. He also commented, “I agree + 1! “!

Gu Nianzhi: ” ! ! ! ”

Ma Qiqi also liked the post very quickly and commented, “Looks fresh, I want to eat it! “!

Yin Shixiong followed, “Brother Xiong will not only take you to feast on king crab but also out for fun ~ ~ ~ ~ ”

With a blank expression on her face, Gu Nianzhi replied with a string of ellipses..

While she was busy posting her Wechat moments, the waiter had finished serving the dishes.

Only the three of them were left in the room with a table full of seafood, steak, and Borscht.

Huo Shaoheng picked up his knife and fork, then cut the steak as he asked Reinitz, “I’ve told you everything about Li Dexi. Are you going to tell me about Nianzhi now? “
