You're saying that the enemy is always able to dodge their attacks and even launch a counterattack? And that two of Uncle Huo's men are also injured?" Gu Nianzhi was anxious. "Is Uncle Huo ok? Did you see if he was injured?"
She paced in circles in Yin Shixiong's room.She muttered to herself, "He shouldn't be injured. I remember that his head, arms, and legs were all ok. I couldn't see anything else, but then again he had been sitting the whole time and didn't stand up once, so were his legs actually injured?!"
"Don't pace so fast, you're making me dizzy." Yin Shixiong smiled wryly as he shook his head. "Don't worry, there's not yet anyone in the world that can hurt Mr. Huo. It wasn't him who was injured, but a few members of our team."
Gu Nianzhi sighed in deep relief and pressed her palms together to pray in all four directions. She prayed to all the deities for Huo Shaoheng to be free from injury and remain safe.
"Okay, okay, go and chant if you need to. Don't pray here." Yin Shixiong had no patience for deities and religion. There were no such thing as heavenly saviours; the only things able to rescue them were they themselves.
Gu Nianzhi snorted. "I just want some peace of mind, so don't mock me." She wasn't in a rush to go and so she sat on Yin Shixiong's couch, her brows furrowed. "But, what is going on exactly. Do they have any idea?"
"Not yet." Yin Shixiong patted the desk. "I think however, that we have a traitor!"
"Are you sure?" Gu Nianzhi wasn't convinced. "If there really was a traitor, and they knew about Uncle Huo's mission, wouldn't they have failed in the Czech Republic already?"
"That's true," Yin Shixiong pondered this, one arm across his chest and the other yanking at his collar as he also began to pace around."Why were things fine in the Czech Republic, then suddenly disastrous in Vienna? How did the Whitewater Security Group become so powerful that they had been able to stage a counterattack in just two weeks?"
Gu Nianzhi knew that there must be an important missing linkthe cause and effect didn't match up. She sat in Yin Shixiong's room for a while before returning to her room. Since a video chat would be a huge security risk for Huo Shaoheng and his men, Gu Nianzhi certainly wouldn't ask for it again. When she also thought of the danger they took to call them this afternoon, she shuddered in fear. If that call became the reason that Huo Shaoheng was placed at a disadvantage, she would never be able to forgive herself. She went back to her laptop and after scrolling absently for some time her eyes glazed over and she was lost in thought; Her fingers gently held the mouse as she mumbled, "If the enemy was able to know their location firsthand, it's probably because there's something wrong with the navigation system?" However, she was aware that the satellite navigation and location system that Huo Shaoheng and his men used had been developed by the Empire itself: the Nandou Global Satellite Navigation System. Theoretically, something like this could never happen. Zhao Liangze and the team had believed this, so they had only considered the possibility of a traitor, but had never thought to test the system. On the other hand, Gu Nianzhi wasn't reliant on the Nandou system; thus she was able to look at the situation objectively and find the solution. She couldn't stop thinking about this and so opened a computer programming software to put her theory to the test.
