Seeing that Huo Shaoheng still hadn't said a word, Yin Shixiong's heart began to pound. He quickly said, "Huo Shao, I really wasn't careless. Grandfather Huo is staying in the VIP ward of the Military General Hospital. We can't listen in on him as we please. I have to apply and get a permit before I can monitor the high-class wards there … "
Huo Xuenong had suddenly been hospitalized last night. They hadn't been able to get the permit in time even if they had applied overnight.
Because there were too many confidentiality clauses involved, they had to go through the procedures step by step.
In order to prevent the Special Operations Forces from having too much power, the Senate, the cabinet, and the military all had very strong restrictions and restrictions on them.
They couldn't just do whatever they wanted.
Huo Shaoheng also knew this reason, but he didn't blame Yin Shixiong. He was just wondering if his grandfather's sudden "illness" was really due to anger, or was it because he wanted to find a safe place to talk?
He would never underestimate the experience and wisdom of the older generation.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a while and said, "Go to the hospital and get the surveillance footage from last night. Remember not to alert anyone. Go alone."
"Yes, Chief!" Yin Shixiong immediately saluted and rushed to the surveillance room of the Army General Hospital.
The surveillance in the hospital was only used to observe the condition of the ward. It was completely different from the surveillance of the Special Forces.
When Yin Shixiong pulled up the surveillance footage of Huo Xuenong's ward and fast-forwarded through it, he still didn't have any clues.
Because the angle of the surveillance camera was aimed at the entire ward.
The bed was right under the surveillance camera.
Therefore, from the angle of the surveillance camera, they could only see the tops of Huo Xuenong and Luo Jialan's heads. They couldn't even see their facial expressions clearly, let alone see how they spoke.
Yin Shixiong sent this part of the surveillance to the cloud system and shared it with Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng opened the surveillance video in his office and watched it frame by frame.
He looked very carefully, but just like Yin Shixiong, he didn't find anything.
However, it could be seen that Luo Jialan and Old Master Huo had a very cautious conversation in the middle of the night.
Their body language showed that they were very alert and nervous, but as for what they were talking about, only the two of them probably knew.
Huo Shaoheng turned off the surveillance camera and fell into deep thought until his phone rang and interrupted his thoughts.
He looked at his phone. It was a call from Old Master Xie.
After connecting the Bluetooth headset, Huo Shaoheng stood up and put his hands in his trouser pockets. He walked to the window and greeted with a smile, "Granduncle is awake? How was your rest last night? "
Xie Shenxing's hearty laughter came from the Bluetooth headset. "Hahahaha, not bad. By the way, the breakfast at your house is average. Your father has already left. He said that he's going to the grassroots level to inspect the work. Your grandfather is in the hospital, and Little Nianzhi is the only one at home with me. I wanted to ask you something. I'm going to take Little Nianzhi to my villa in the West Mountains to get her bearings. What do you think? "
"Sure. With Granduncle taking care of Nianzhi, of course I'm relieved. "Huo Shaoheng smiled and nodded." If Nianzhi has time, you can take her to learn the way. "
This meant that they would have to keep in touch in the future.
Xie Shenxing nodded happily and said, "If you're free today, come over to my place for a meal. Also, I have something to tell you. Yesterday, your grandfather suddenly fell ill. Did you find out what you wanted to know? "
Huo Shaoheng remembered Luo Jialan's phone call he had overheard and said, "I was just about to ask my uncle for a favor, or my cousin. If it's convenient for you, that would be even better."
"What's so serious?" Xie Shenxing was interested. "Tell me about it."
Huo Shaoheng told him about the trust fund and asked, "If you want to change the beneficiary of the trust fund, how long will it take?"
"Oh, I don't know much about that. Call your uncle and ask him to find a professional to explain it to you."
As he spoke, Xie Shenxing had already asked his subordinate to call his son, Xie Beichen. He said to him, "Beichen, Shaoheng has some questions to ask your fund expert. Can you help him find someone to ask right away?"
Xie Beichen immediately said, "No problem. I have a fund expert with me. If you have anything to say, you can ask him right away." As he spoke, he turned on the video call.
Xie Shenxing wanted to pull Huo Shaoheng in again, but Huo Shaoheng declined politely. "It's not convenient for me to make a video call. I just need to hear what you guys are talking about."
"Okay, I'll share the audio with you." Xie Shenxing didn't insist and turned on the audio for Huo Shaoheng.
In less than five minutes, they formed a remote video conference group to communicate.
Gu Nianzhi's smiling face also appeared in the video. She smiled and greeted everyone, "Hi! Hello, I'm Cereus, Gu Nianzhi. Uncle Beichen, can you hear me? "
In the video, Xie Beichen, who was in his forties, was mature and steady.
He chuckled. "I can hear you. Little Nianzhi has already called me uncle, so I can't run away with a greeting gift. "
He then asked for Gu Nianzhi's phone number and added her on WeChat. Then, with a light tap of his finger, a red packet of 190,000 euros appeared on their chat page.
"This is a late 19th birthday present for Little Nianzhi." Xie Beichen deliberately teased Huo Shaoheng. "Shaoheng, I want to criticize you. I introduced you to so many girlfriends in the past, but you said you didn't want them. Now, you've found a little girl. You're slapping me in the face!"
Gu Nianzhi happily opened the red packet and counted the four zeros after 19 happily.
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi didn't mind, Huo Shaoheng smiled and said, "Uncle, you must be joking. Let's talk business today. We'll have a long talk when you return to the country."
"Okay." Xie Beichen was also a busy person. After a few jokes, he asked the fund expert to answer the question.
Huo Shaoheng asked, "May I ask how long it will take for the trust fund to change the beneficiary?"
The expert quickly said, "That's very simple. If all the conditions are in line with the regulations, it will take effect as long as the information is archived."
"That means that as long as you fax the necessary authorization change and the new beneficiary's identity documents, you can change the beneficiary in the system?" Huo Shaoheng was deep in thought.
"Yes, that's the theory." The expert nodded and said politely, "Trust funds, especially irrevocable trust funds, are protected by very strict legal provisions. As long as everything the other party does is within the scope of the law, we have no reason to stop the other party's decision. "
Huo Shaoheng frowned. "What if we need to stop them?"
He couldn't let Luo Jialan make any changes to the trust fund under Huo Guanyuan's name before he figured out what was going on with Huo Guanyuan's will.
"Need to stop them?" The expert was confused. "May I ask if you can explain things more clearly?"
Huo Shaoheng thought about it carefully. He really didn't have a particularly legal reason to stop Luo Jialan from changing the beneficiary of the fund.
Firstly, he didn't have Huo Guanyuan's will in his hands. Secondly, Luo Jialan had already inherited Huo Guanyuan's fund from her mother. She was already the owner of the trust fund and had complete control over it.
What could he do to stop Luo Jialan from exercising her ownership?
Huo Shaoheng fell into deep thought again.
Xie Shenxing saw that he was silent, so he said to Xie Beichen, "Shaoheng is talking about the fund we checked a while ago. It's your aunt's inheritance. It was given to your eldest cousin, Huo Guanyuan, and later inherited by your eldest cousin's daughter, Huo Jialan."
"Oh, it's this fund. I have an impression of it." Xie Beichen nodded. "When Shaoheng asked me to check, I found out that this fund had been transferred to a certain bank account in Germany, and it was a large sum of money."
When Gu Nianzhi heard the words "a certain bank account in Germany", she suddenly looked up and asked blankly, "… What German bank account? Weren't we talking about Uncle Huo's trust fund? What does it have to do with a German bank account? "
Xie Beichen explained to her, "We tracked down the flow of funds in this trust fund for the past two years and found that sometime last year, it was transferred to a bank account in Germany, which was the bank account of the German murderer, Seth's stepfather. Here, Nianzhi, I remember you were the defense lawyer in that case? The case was very exciting! "
Gu Nianzhi: "!!!"
She quickly switched to the text message page with Huo Shaoheng and texted him, "What the hell is going on?! The trust fund that Luo Jialan inherited has something to do with the incident in Germany?! Did she also have a part in hunting me down?! "
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
Wasn't Gu Nianzhi too smart?
Just the phrase "a certain bank account in Germany" immediately reminded her of what had happened in Germany.
This also meant that the trauma that incident had caused her had yet to recover.
Huo Shaoheng didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, so he just replied indifferently, "… We're still investigating it."
Gu Nianzhi's hand was trembling as she held her phone.
She didn't know how she had offended Luo Jialan.
If it was just for Huo Shaoheng, did she think that Huo Shaoheng would marry her if she died?!
Not only was she out of her mind, but her entire body was covered in water. Luo Jialan was basically a jellyfish!
Gu Nianzhi took two deep breaths to calm herself down.
Huo Shaoheng was still asking the expert, "… Is there really no way to stop it?"
"Unless you can produce concrete evidence to prove that what she did was illegal, the trustee of the fund really has no reason to stop her from changing the beneficiary of the fund," the expert answered firmly.
Gu Nianzhi listened for a long time and finally understood.
It turned out that Luo Jialan wanted to change the beneficiary of Huo Guanyuan's trust fund, but Huo Shaoheng thought that the ownership of the trust fund was questionable. He didn't want her to change it now, so he asked to stop it.
However, the fund expert said that as long as it was legal, they had no right to stop it.
Everyone had their reasons, but Gu Nianzhi was unconditionally on Huo Shaoheng's side, so she had to think for Huo Shaoheng's sake.
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and pondered for a while. She quickly found a breakthrough point and asked calmly, "Mr. Expert, are you saying that as long as it's legal, we can't stop her from doing anything to the fund?"
"Yes, that's what the legal provisions of the irrevocable trust fund say."
"Okay then." Gu Nianzhi looked up at the camera on Xie Shenxing's phone and quickly said, "We request that the entire trust fund be frozen. You can't withdraw any proceeds, transfer any funds, or change any beneficiaries. Before the freeze is lifted, no one can do anything to this fund, including the owner of the fund, Luo Jialan. "
"Huh?!" The fund expert's eyes widened like goldfish. "What did you say?! I've been explaining it for so long, but you still don't understand?! "
There was no legal issue, so they couldn't stop Luo Jialan from doing anything!
"I understand," Gu Nianzhi continued, "I'll immediately apply to the Swiss court for a freeze. The reason is that we suspect that the owner of this fund, Luo Jialan, is working with German criminals to launder money. The evidence is the large fund transfer that Uncle Beichen found. "
Because only the accusation of "money laundering" could achieve the effect of freezing it immediately.
No other accusation was as swift and powerful as this one.
The fund expert was so shocked by Gu Nianzhi's words that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a while, he gave her a thumbs up and praised her, "That's amazing! You can even think of this! But aren't you only nineteen years old?! You know the law too?! Are you really a lawyer?! "
