Bai Jinyi looked at Gu Nianzhi in surprise. "Collaboration? A fish that slipped through the net?! "
"Yes, I'll say it again. You think you're using someone else as a gun, but have you ever thought that you're actually someone else's gun?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled faintly, as beautiful as a night epiphyllum.
Bai Jinyi frowned and said uncomfortably, "… That was a long time ago. Huo Jialan and I just happened to …"
"Luo Jialan, she's changed her name now." Gu Nianzhi corrected her.
"… Luo Jialan, I accidentally told Luo Jialan about her background …"
"Time, place, and who was there at the time?" Gu Nianzhi asked.
"… Is that important?" Bai Jinyi looked at Gu Nianzhi in confusion. "It's been so long."
"Of course it's important. Do you think I have nothing better to do than to come here and tell you about the past?" Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow and was a little impatient. "You've already experienced the consequences of hiding something from a lawyer, haven't you?"
In the case of Luo Xinxue's murder, Bai Jinyi had hidden some facts from her defense lawyer. In the end, she had been very passive in court. Gu Nianzhi had seized on the loophole and pursued her relentlessly. In the end, she had been convicted.
"What substantial benefit does that do me?" Bai Jinyi wasn't someone who would be at a disadvantage. Her eyes calmed down. "Can my case be overturned?"
Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes and didn't comment. "That depends on how much you say and what the truth is."
"Then can it prove that I was wronged?! I demand to be released from prison immediately! "Bai Jinyi stood up excitedly." … Can you?! If you can't, I won't say it! "
Gu Nianzhi's well-defined lips curled up. She looked up at Bai Jinyi. "After Luo Jialan took over Song Jinning's care, did you intentionally or unintentionally reveal to her that Song Jinning knew about her background?"
Bai Jinyi's eyes darted around as her mind raced. Finally, she sneered, "No comment!" She then turned around and left the reception room. The prison guard took her back to her cell.
Gu Nianzhi slowly stood up and waited for a while before walking out of the reception room. She said to the other prison guard at the door, "Could you please show me Bai Jinyi's cell?"
The prison guard was stunned. "You want to see Bai Jinyi's cell? Do you have a visiting certificate? "
"Does her verbal promise count as proof of visitation?" Gu Nianzhi raised her chin in the direction where Bai Jinyi had disappeared. "There's evidence of her phone surveillance recording."
The prison guard made a phone call to his superior. After confirming it, he said, "Please follow me."
Gu Nianzhi followed the prison guard to Bai Jinyi's cell.
The Greentown Women's Prison imprisoned felons. Only those who had been sentenced to at least 15 years in prison could be locked up here.
Along the way, the security was tight and there were cameras everywhere.
The doors with iron bars were tightly shut, and the world inside and outside the door were two completely different worlds.
Gu Nianzhi walked quietly until the prison guard stopped in front of a single cell. He pointed and said, "This is Bai Jinyi's cell."
Gu Nianzhi walked forward. "Open the door."
The prison guard keyed in a few passwords on the display beside the door, and the door quietly opened.
Of course, the iron fence made of thin iron rods was still tightly shut.
Gu Nianzhi looked up and saw the situation in the cell. She smiled and quickly took a photo with her phone.
The facilities in Bai Jinyi's single cell were really good.
The room wasn't small. It was at least 20 square meters.
Under the south-facing window was a desk with a laptop on it. Next to the desk was a small three-tiered bookshelf, which was densely packed with books.
Under the east wall was a single bed with snow-white sheets. The bedside lamp was exquisite and cute.
A curved LCD television hung on the west wall. There were two single sofas under it, and a small coffee table in the middle of the two sofas.
On the other side of the single sofa was an elliptical machine. It could be used for running, stretching, and heart rate monitoring.
Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue. "Are you here to go to prison or to retire?"
She turned to look at the prison guard. "I never knew that our country's felony prison could have such good facilities. It's really comparable to the felony prison cells in Oslo, Norway. I think this place should be called a nursing home, not a women's prison. "
"While it's hard for law-abiding ordinary people to buy a room, our felons are already living in a nursing home in a developed country."
"I think the public will be very happy to know that."
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything else and turned to leave.
The faces of Bai Jinyi and the prison guard outside the cell darkened.
Bai Jinyi understood and rushed to the door to stop Gu Nianzhi. She said anxiously, "Don't go! I'll tell you everything you want to know! "
She knew very well that Gu Nianzhi was threatening her. If she didn't tell her, she would spread the word about her "treatment" in prison. When that time came, she wouldn't be the only one to suffer. More importantly, her brother, Bai Jiancheng, who had just become prime minister!
Gu Nianzhi had noticed from the phone call that Bai Jinyi's treatment in prison was unusual.
She had already made several preparations. If Bai Jinyi cooperated obediently, she wouldn't make things too difficult for her.
Anyway, she was going to be executed. They were magnanimous to live and eat well before they died.
But if she didn't know what was good for her and pushed her luck, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't show any mercy.
She was the best at dealing with the prime minister.
..
Bai Jinyi's arrogance was completely suppressed by the few words she said in front of the single cell.
She was much more obedient in the following questions.
Returning to the monitored reception room, Gu Nianzhi still held her recording pen and began to ask questions.
"Bai Jinyi, when and where did you tell Luo Jialan that Song Jinning knew about her background?"
"Seven years ago, when I had a breakthrough in my experiment." Bai Jinyi looked at Gu Nianzhi resentfully. "If your car hadn't suddenly barged in that day, my experiment would have definitely succeeded!"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
Okay!
This had something to do with her too?!
Gu Nianzhi didn't back down and said coldly, "You really know how to shirk responsibility. You can't pull it out yourself, so you blame gravity, right? "
Bai Jinyi's face turned red from the sarcasm, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "That's how it is."
Gu Nianzhi chuckled and continued to ask, "Was that before or after I appeared?"
"… After. The experiment wasn't successful. I went back to the imperial capital and went to the Huo family for dinner … "Bai Jinyi pursed her lips." I just said a few words to Luo Jialan. "
Bai Jinyi was deeply indignant when she saw that Song Jinning was in good spirits and looked like she was about to recover soon.
"What did you say? You must not remember, right? "Gu Nianzhi said deliberately," I don't have high expectations for your IQ and memory. "
"Of course I remember." Bai Jinyi looked at Gu Nianzhi mockingly. "Since I've promised to tell you, I won't hide it anymore."
"Then tell me."
"… I was pruning the flowers in the small garden when Luo Jialan stood next to me and chatted with me. I … I accidentally mentioned that Huo Guanyuan wasn't her biological father, and Song Jinning knew about it … "
"What did Luo Jialan say?" Gu Nianzhi asked calmly without any pressure in her tone.
Bai Jinyi added, "She told me that she knew about it a long time ago."
It was similar to what Gu Nianzhi had thought. She immediately confirmed, "She knew about it a long time ago? Did she know that Huo Guanyuan wasn't her biological father, or did Song Jinning know about it? "
Bai Jinyi was confused. "… I didn't think about that. I thought she knew about it a long time ago."
It was obvious that Luo Jialan had played a trick on this matter. Even Bai Jinyi, who had always been shrewd, had been fooled by her.
