"The presiding judge died suddenly?!" Gu Nianzhi's heart sank. "Isn't this' Angel in the World 'foundation a little too powerful?"
"You should be mentally prepared." He Zhichu sat down with an indifferent expression. "Don't forget what kind of research they're doing."
This kind of research had been strongly supported by the Japanese imperial government and the military decades ago.
Gu Nianzhi frowned. "But we're using lawyers from big American law firms. Would they dare to say no to the American government?"
"If it's a big deal, they'll dare to say no to anyone." He Zhichu tapped his fingers on the dining table. "Alright, don't think too much about it. All they can do is stall for a little more time."
"Then why are they stalling for time? Are they trying to transfer their assets? "Gu Nianzhi's expression was cold and murderous.
He Zhichu was amused by her little expression. He smiled slightly and was still very calm. He pushed Guan Yan in front of Gu Nianzhi. "Don't worry, they won't be transferred that easily. I'm inclined to think that they still want to struggle on their deathbed. As for transferring their assets, they'll have to spit it out wherever they go. "
Gu Nianzhi thought about it. Modern society was highly networked, and it was actually easier to track down the flow of funds than in the previous cash society, so she wasn't worried anymore.
The two of them had lunch there. When they went out, they ran into Luo Jialan and Cai Shengnan in the parking lot again.
The two of them were walking to their cars.
When they saw He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi walking over together, they stopped in their tracks and watched them approach with smiles.
Gu Nianzhi had wanted to pretend that she didn't know them, but they didn't think so.
"Lawyer He, Miss Gu, I didn't expect to meet you again." Luo Jialan greeted them with a beaming face. "Miss Gu, your market is really good. First, you have our Shaoheng at your beck and call, and now you have lawyer He's devoted protection. You're really lucky with women!"
Gu Nianzhi was about to throw up when she said "our Shaoheng" to Luo Jialan, but she also understood that if she went berserk again, it would only satisfy Luo Jialan's perverted mentality.
So she walked past them expressionlessly and didn't respond to a single word.
She had said everything she needed to say at the restaurant. If she continued, Luo Jialan would really have to pay her consultation fee.
He Zhichu glanced at Luo Jialan coldly. His eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth.
Luo Jialan caught a glimpse of He Zhichu's expression from the corner of her eye, and her heart turned cold. She instinctively took a step back and forced herself to say, "But don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, especially Shaoheng. I won't say a word …"
He Zhichu stood in front of her and looked at her carefully. He said coldly, "… It's better to be lucky with women than to not have a man."
Luo Jialan's heart skipped a beat, but she immediately reacted. She smiled and said, "So lawyer He admits that you have feelings for Gu Nianzhi? Tsk tsk, that's not good. She's clearly engaged, yet she's still walking around with another man … "
"Luo Jialan, right? You're probably living in the era two hundred years ago, when a woman would be drowned in a pig's cage for having a meal with a man outside. " He Zhichu said nonchalantly as he took out a recording pen from his pocket. "I've already recorded everything you said just now. It's up to you whether you want to hand it over to the court as evidence, or use it as proof that you haven't given up on Huo Shaoheng."
What kind of person was this? His casual words were being recorded.
Luo Jialan's face turned pale with fright. She clenched her fists tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I … when did I not give up on Major General Huo? Oh no, when did I have feelings for Major General Huo? Don't slander me and ruin my reputation! "
"You didn't? If you didn't, then why do you keep saying 'our Shaoheng'? What's your relationship with Huo Shaoheng that makes you address him so intimately? "He Zhichu was still holding the recording pen and continued to record.
Cai Shengnan's eyes flashed. She wanted to say something, but she kept her mouth shut.
"I … I … I'm his relative, his cousin. Why can't I use that title?" Luo Jialan was furious, but she was still struggling at death's door.
"Cousin? What's your surname? " He Zhichu looked Luo Jialan up and down, the disdain in his eyes undisguised. "You gave up everything in the Huo family. It's too late to regret it now."
"I didn't!" Luo Jialan's entire body was trembling.
Was this what she wanted?!
If she couldn't marry Huo Shaoheng, she would have to face the fate of being sued!
Look at her now, Gu Nianzhi was eyeing her covetously.
But if her surname was still Huo and she was in the Huo family's household register, how could she marry Huo Shaoheng?!
Therefore, she cut off all means of retreat and resolutely changed her surname and moved out of the Huo family's household register. All she had to do was wait for grandfather Huo's order and she would get her marriage certificate with Huo Shaoheng..
It was all her fault! It was all because of this orphan girl who had come out of nowhere and ruined her plans!
He Zhichu sneered and said, "You didn't give up everything in the Huo family? Or you didn't regret giving up everything in the Huo family? "
"I …" Luo Jialan choked. She realized that no matter what she said, she seemed to have fallen into He Zhichu's trap.
However, He Zhichu had no intention of letting her go. "Tell me, you didn't give up everything in the Huo family? Then you changed your surname and moved out of the Huo family's household register. It's all fake? "
Gu Nianzhi was surprised. "It's all fake? Aiya, if you didn't change your surname and move out of the Huo family, then why are you talking about getting married? Do you think the military's background check is just for show and can't find out that you're faking it?! "
"I'm not faking it!" Luo Jialan was finally forced into a corner by He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi. She had no choice but to clarify herself. "What I'm saying is that I don't regret giving up everything in the Huo family! I have nothing to do with the Huo family! "
"Alright then, I hope you'll keep your word and return what belongs to the Huo family to them." He Zhichu put away the recording pen and got into the military jeep with Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi smiled as she drove the military jeep out of the garage of Luhuitou Restaurant. She said, "Professor He was so impressive just now! I didn't expect you to use a recording pen! "
He Zhichu's shimmering almond-shaped eyes flashed. "I sent this recording to Major General Huo."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
..
In the office building of the special operations forces, Huo Shaoheng held a meeting for two days and finally settled everything for the trip to Russia.
When he received He Zhichu's message and heard the recording, Huo Shaoheng's face was expressionless. However, the pen in his hand was broken in half with a snap.
He suddenly raised his hand and threw the broken pen into the trash can in the corner. Huo Shaoheng dialed Gu Nianzhi's number.
"Major General Huo, is that you? Are you done? "Gu Nianzhi's surprised voice came from the Bluetooth headset.
Huo Shaoheng grunted. "Where are you? I'll pick you up. "
"No need, I'll drive back soon." Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. "I'll take Professor He home first."
Gu Nianzhi almost said that He Zhichu had to renovate the kitchen because of egg fried rice, but she held back when she saw He Zhichu's uncomfortable expression.
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Then I'll wait for you."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said gently, "Okay."
Gu Nianzhi didn't get out of the car after sending He Zhichu all the way back to his villa on the mountainside. She said to He Zhichu, "Professor He, I'll take you here. When I go back and sort out the information, I'll send you the first version of the indictment. "
He Zhichu grunted and took out a key card and a set of keys from his pocket. He stuffed them into Gu Nianzhi's hand and said uncomfortably, "This is also your home. Come visit often when you're free."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She smiled sheepishly and declined. "No need, Professor He, but I'll definitely visit you often in the future."
"Take it and be good." He Zhichu was very insistent. "This is part of the dowry I prepared for you. When you hold your wedding in the future, you can get married here." With that, he pushed open the car door and quickly went into the house.
