Gu Nianzhi looked at Song Jinning in disbelief. She thought to herself, Uncle Huo actually told Ms. Song such a private matter …
"Ms. Song, Uncle Huo must have trusted you a lot to tell you such a thing …" Gu Nianzhi said carefully, afraid that Song Jinning would make unnecessary associations.
Song Jinning didn't think too much about it. She raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "I'm a very good person. I wouldn't divulge anyone's secret even if they told me it."
She was saying it now because it was no longer a secret.
Ever since Bai Jinyi's case, everyone knew that Luo Jialan wasn't Huo Guanyuan's biological daughter.
Gu Nianzhi was a little speechless. She nodded and said, "Does Luo Jialan know that you know her background?"
Song Jinning frowned and thought about it for a moment. "I'm not sure about that. I didn't tell anyone. "
During her years of insanity, she only remembered what happened before she was 18 years old, so she probably wouldn't have told anyone about it at that time.
For example, Auntie Xing and Auntie You, the two housekeepers who had taken care of her back then, didn't know at all.
They were the people who had been in contact with Song Jinning the most over the years. If they didn't know, Song Jinning probably hadn't revealed a single word.
Gu Nianzhi was silent for a long time.
She thought that if Song Jinning had never mentioned this to anyone else, then Luo Jialan wouldn't have killed Song Jinning because of this.
According to logic, Luo Jialan didn't know that Song Jinning was an insider of her background.
But why did she do that?
She had spent nearly ten years torturing Song Jinning in an attempt to use "mental abuse" to gradually weaken a mentally ill patient who had suffered severe brain trauma until she lost her life …
This method was really killing without spilling blood.
Gu Nianzhi frowned and muttered to herself, "If she didn't know that you knew about her background, then she wouldn't have had any reason to do this. But the truth is that she did do this, so I think she must have found out from other sources that you also know about her background. "
"Then who would be her other source?"
Gu Nianzhi thought of someone, Luo Xinxue.
She was Luo Jialan's biological mother.
Of course, Luo Xinxue knew that Luo Jialan wasn't Huo Guanyuan's biological daughter, and she had told her about it after Luo Jialan became sensible.
This was what Luo Jialan had said herself.
Could it be that Luo Xinxue knew that Huo Guanyuan had told Song Jinning about this?
Gu Nianzhi only felt that her mind was covered in fog. The truth was like a lamp in the fog, faintly discernible. It made people feel that it was close at one moment and far at the next.
"… Ms. Song, think about it again. What else did Uncle Huo say to you back then? Is it related to Luo Jialan, himself, or the entire Huo family? "Gu Nianzhi continued to inspire Song Jinning's memories and thoughts.
Song Jinning closed her eyes. After a while, she said, "At that time, Huo Guanyuan said that his parents were forcing him to get married, and Luo Xinxue was pregnant. Her fiancé had died trying to save Huo Guanyuan, so he decided to marry her. It would help himself, his comrades, and Luo Xinxue."
"After my mother-in-law passed away, he often went out on missions and was rarely at home."
"I remember that on the eve of the accident, I came out of the lab very late and saw him standing alone under a big tree outside the lab building, smoking. When he saw me coming, he threw away the cigarette and came home with me. "
"On the way, he told me …"
Song Jinning felt that something was wrong.
Why would Huo Guanyuan say such a thing to her at that time?
Unfortunately, at that time, she had been so focused on the experiment that she had rarely taken care of her own son, let alone ponder the thoughts of her husband's brother..
Song Jinning opened her eyes in a daze and didn't speak for a long time.
Gu Nianzhi waited patiently by the side until Song Jinning's eyes focused again. Gu Nianzhi asked softly, "What did Uncle Huo say?"
Song Jinning gritted her teeth. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she still said in a low voice, "… That day was the day before the big experiment. If we successfully completed the experiment the next day, the project with the military would be completed. Huo Guanyuan was originally a representative of the military, and he represented the military in cooperating with our lab. If the experiment was completed, he would have to leave our lab and go on a mission elsewhere. "
"That night, he said that according to the military's practice, every time they went out on a secret mission, they would write a will in advance. If they were to unfortunately die, their funeral would also be properly arranged. "
Gu Nianzhi raised her head abruptly. "A will?! Uncle Huo has a will?! "
That's right!
How could she have forgotten that!
When soldiers went out on missions, they would often write a will in advance and hand it over to the military instructor.
If they came back alive, of course, the will would be returned to be invalid.
If they didn't come back alive, this will would be their last words in this world.
However, Gu Nianzhi was only happy for a moment before she deflated like a ball that had been pricked by a needle.
Because if Huo Guanyuan had a will, it could only prove that Xie Ziyan's trust fund in Luo Jialan's hands was a completely legal inheritance.
Then there would be no way for them to recover the money in the trust fund from Luo Jialan..
No wonder Luo Jialan was so confident and happy to use the Xie family's money.
Gu Nianzhi was frowning as she thought about how to get out of this situation when she heard Song Jinning say, "Yes, Huo Guanyuan said he made a will and wanted to give all his assets to Shaoheng …"
Gu Nianzhi looked up in surprise and glared at Song Jinning.
Her emotions were like a roller coaster. She couldn't control herself because of Song Jinning's words.
"… What did you say? Uncle Huo said he made a will and wanted to give all his assets to Major General Huo?! "Gu Nianzhi asked in a trembling voice.
Song Jinning nodded slightly, her face a little red. "Yes, you also think it's inappropriate, don't you? I politely refused at the time and said that it was his property and should be left to his own children. But he said that he didn't have anyone he liked in his life. He married Luo Xinxue to take care of her and give her and the child in her stomach a name … He also said that although they were married, he had never touched her. "
Gu Nianzhi covered her forehead with her hand and covered her eyes.
She couldn't take it anymore, she was a little dizzy..
Uncle Huo was too coquettish …
"… But isn't it unfair for him to do this to Luo Xinxue?" Gu Nianzhi composed herself and asked softly, "By doing this, Uncle Huo is making Luo Xinxue a widow …"
Song Jinning nodded and said with a wry smile, "I said the same thing back then. I said that since he was married to Luo Xinxue, he had to shoulder the responsibilities of a husband. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to Luo Xinxue."
"Then what did Uncle Huo say?" Gu Nianzhi was very curious and couldn't help but gossip.
"He said that he and Luo Xinxue had an agreement. When Luo Xinxue found someone she liked, he would divorce her and let her find her own happiness. If she didn't want children, she could leave Luo Jialan in the Huo family. Because Luo Jialan is Huo Guanyuan's daughter in name, he didn't deny the whole thing to the outside world. "
"As long as he doesn't say it, and Luo Xinxue doesn't say it, no one will know Luo Jialan's true identity."
"But you know?" Gu Nianzhi quietly reminded Song Jinning.
Song Jinning looked at her strangely, as if she was surprised that she had said that. She told her disapprovingly, "But I won't tell anyone. Huo Guanyuan told me about it because he knew I would keep it a secret."
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched.
I'm afraid Uncle Huo didn't tell you about it because you could keep it a secret, right?
This was really …
She finally understood why Huo Guanyuan was so much more outstanding than his younger brother Huo Guanchen, but he couldn't win over Song Jinning, a beauty with a high IQ and low EQ …
Because his overly reserved way of expressing himself didn't work at all on a mad scientist like Song Jinning.
And Huo Guanchen had probably used a very straightforward way of pursuing her to move the heart of a genius beauty who was very straightforward in terms of love.
Song Jinning's EQ wasn't low, but she was a little off when it came to love.
She probably didn't expect Huo Guanyuan to like her at the time.
It wasn't until 17 years later, when Bai Jinyi's case was being tried that Song Jinning realized that this person she had known for a long time had secretly had feelings for her.
This was truly a strange combination of factors that made one sigh.
However, she had been worried that Huo Guanyuan would go all out as a "saint". Not only would he help someone else raise a child, but he would also lose all his assets.
Now that she had heard Song Jinning's words, she felt that Huo Guanyuan was still a normal person. Although he was stubborn when it came to relationships, at least he wasn't too muddle-headed.
He didn't give his mother Xie Ziyan's assets to an outsider. Instead, he chose to leave it to his nephew, Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi sighed in her heart and continued to ask excitedly, "What about Uncle Huo's will?"
Song Jinning frowned. "I don't know? Didn't the military announce his will? "
Huo Guanyuan and Song Jinning had met with an accident in that experiment.
Huo Guanyuan's body had been destroyed in the explosion, and Song Jinning had been pushed out of the laboratory at the last moment. Her head had suffered a severe concussion, and her memory had stopped at the age of 18. She had become a serious mental patient.
Therefore, Song Jinning had no idea what happened to Huo Guanyuan after that.
However, this question wasn't difficult to answer.
Song Jinning didn't know, but Huo Shaoheng should know.
If Huo Shaoheng didn't know, there was still General Ji!
Huo Guanyuan was a martyr of the military. There must have been rules and detailed records of how he had handled his funeral.
Gu Nianzhi recalled that during the trial of Bai Jinyi's case, she seemed to have mentioned what Huo Guanyuan's belongings were.
She clearly remembered that Huo Guanyuan's will had not been mentioned at that time.
If it had been mentioned, Gu Nianzhi definitely wouldn't have overlooked such an important thing.
Whether the will had not been fulfilled at all, or whether the will had not been announced was what Gu Nianzhi wanted to investigate next.
She came out of Song Jinning's laboratory and couldn't wait to call Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng's phone rang with a busy tone.
It was probably inconvenient for him to answer the phone.
Gu Nianzhi sent him a text message.
"Major General Huo, do you know where your uncle's will is?"
