Gu Nianzhi thought to herself that Luo Jialan was indeed in cahoots with Grandfather Huo. There were actually conditions between the two of them …
She immediately added fuel to the fire, "Miss Luo, what you said is wrong. Have you ever made conditions to Mr. Huo before? Grandfather Huo is your elder, and you call him 'grandfather'. The Huo family has raised you for so many years, and everything you have was given by the Huo family. What conditions do you have to negotiate with Grandfather Huo? Besides, what do you mean by that? Do you still want Grandfather Huo to protect you? "
Luo Jialan's heart trembled when she heard this. She couldn't help but think of what Huo Xuenong had said about her father, Huo Guanyuan's will, and she became angry at Huo Guanyuan.
If he was so heartless, why did he marry her mother in the first place?
She had called him "Dad" for so many years, but he had only left them with a little bit of money!
They really didn't treat her as a member of the Huo Family. Since that was the case, why should she cover up for the Huo Family?
Luo Jialan raised her chin and her eyes narrowed. "Grandfather? Are you really so heartless? Won't you help me? "
Huo Xuenong could tell that Luo Jialan was going to reveal their private deal in front of so many people.
If Xie Shenxing wasn't here, Huo Xuenong wouldn't have cared, but Xie Shenxing was here, so Huo Xuenong felt a little embarrassed.
He thought about it for a moment, then slowly raised his head and said kindly to Gu Nianzhi, "Nianzhi, when it's possible to let someone go, one should forgive them. Don't continue to be so overbearing. Jialan knows that she is in the wrong, so please be merciful and let her live. She won't want to marry Shaoheng anymore, so you can rest assured. "
The implication was that Gu Nianzhi was only targeting Luo Jialan for Huo Shaoheng.
Of course, this was also one of the reasons, but the nature of the whole thing changed completely when Gu Nianzhi found out that Luo Jialan was still working with Yamaguchi Aiko.
This was no longer a simple matter of jealousy. It was a matter of life and death.
The smile on Gu Nianzhi's face disappeared, and she said in a low voice, "… She really knows she was wrong? Miss Luo, do you dare to swear that you know nothing about it? Everything was Yamaguchi Aiko's fault? You're just an innocent victim? "
"I dare!" Luo Jialan immediately raised her right hand. "If I know, let me … Be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
"No, there's no need for such an illusory oath." Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "You only need to say that if you knew, you will bear all the corresponding legal consequences."
"Alright! I swear! If I knew, I would bear all the corresponding legal consequences! "Luo Jialan repeated Gu Nianzhi's words without missing a single word.
"Alright, you can arrest her now." Gu Nianzhi stepped to the side to make way for the three Special Operations Forces personnel. "She's the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on my life in Germany."
"What?!" Luo Jialan was completely confused. She glared at Gu Nianzhi and said fiercely, "How could it be me?! It was clearly Yamaguchi Aiko! What's wrong with you?! Could it be that all that had been said was a waste of breath?! Do you not understand human language?! "
"You're the one who doesn't understand human language, and you're the one who's deliberately trying to confuse everyone." Gu Nianzhi looked at Luo Jialan without showing any weakness. She took a step forward and raised her chin slightly. Her eyes were clear and calm, and her aura was fully unleashed. "You're lying."
"I'm not!" Luo Jialan panicked. She clutched her chest weakly with both hands and looked at Cai Shengnan. "Lawyer Cai, help me! Help me, please! You took six million US dollars in advance from me, and you just won't say a word?! "
Cai Shengnan cursed in her heart that Luo Jialan had indeed blamed her, but she was also a little embarrassed to be accused of taking money and not doing anything. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Lawyer Gu, you have to bear legal responsibility for your words. Please don't slander my client."
"My client has already made it very clear that she met Yamaguchi Aiko in France, and Yamaguchi Aiko was the mastermind behind everything. Whether it was the assassination attempt on your life or the plot against you, it was all Yamaguchi Aiko's doing. It has nothing to do with my client. "
"It really has nothing to do with her?" Gu Nianzhi's face turned cold and she looked straight at Cai Shengnan. "May I ask, lawyer Cai, can you say something legally responsible? Your client told you everything, and do you know the whole truth?"
Cai Shengnan shut her mouth.
Of course she couldn't say that.
She didn't know anything about Yamaguchi Aiko that Luo Jialan had just said.
The only thing she knew was that Luo Jialan had told her that she didn't want to transfer the money herself. She was helping her friend Yamaguchi Aiko do business.
She didn't even mention a word about what kind of business she was doing.
"… You can't guarantee it, can you?" Gu Nianzhi laughed and said slowly, "Lawyer Cai, don't get involved. I advise you to return the six million US dollars in advance to Luo Jialan, because you can't defend her in this matter."
As Gu Nianzhi spoke, her cold gaze fell on Luo Jialan's pale face. "Luo Jialan, are you still insisting that you're the victim? Were you deceived by Yamaguchi Aiko? "
Luo Jialan nodded in a daze and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm telling the truth. Why don't you believe me?"
"If you want others to believe your lies, you have to at least make your own lies sound." Gu Nianzhi curled her lips and shook a slender, fair finger. The natural pearlescent light on her fingernail almost reflected a rainbow under the lights of the ward. Luo Jialan subconsciously turned her head away and looked away.
"How did I lie? I don't understand. "Luo Jialan was puzzled. She had clearly made it up quite well..
"You don't understand? Then I'll reluctantly explain it to you. " Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and chuckled. "Luo Jialan, you said that Yamaguchi Aiko became friends with you in Europe and asked you to borrow money from her. Then she died at the hands of pirates in the Caribbean Sea, so you can't repay the money you lent her, right?"
Luo Jialan quickly nodded. "Of course, of course, you see …"
"Shut up!" Gu Nianzhi's expression suddenly became serious. "You're still lying! I'll tell you where you've exposed yourself. "
Luo Jialan's heart pounded. What exactly went wrong?
Everything was obviously flawless..
"Because of time," Gu Nianzhi said coldly. "When you were making up your lies, you made up the wrong time."
Luo Jialan suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed. Her legs were so weak that she could no longer stand, and she collapsed in front of Huo Xuenong's bed.
Gu Nianzhi took the arrest warrant from the member of the special operations forces next to her and took another step forward. She looked down at Luo Jialan and placed the arrest warrant in front of her, causing her immense psychological pressure.
"Luo Jialan, you realize it, don't you?"
"You said that Yamaguchi Aiko hunted me down in Germany, but then she died at the hands of pirates in the Caribbean Sea."
"But the truth is that Yamaguchi Aiko hunted me down in the Caribbean Sea and died at the hands of 'pirates' last May."
"And I was in danger in Germany and was hunted down in September last year."
"Combined with what you said, then she 'died' in the Caribbean Sea first, and then she hunted me down in Germany."
"May I ask how a dead person came back to life and appeared in Germany?!"
Gu Nianzhi's tone became harsher and harsher. "You deliberately mixed up the sequence of events and misled everyone. You made everyone believe that your transfer of money to York's bank account had nothing to do with you, but a dead person asked you to do it. That way, there would be no evidence."
"You're lying! Because you're covering up the truth! "
"The truth is that there's no such person as Yamaguchi Aiko. You were the one in charge from beginning to end. Isn't that right, Luo Jialan?!"
Gu Nianzhi spoke harshly and deliberately put all the blame on Luo Jialan.
Of course, she knew that Yamaguchi Aiko was the one in charge. When she was in the Caribbean Sea, Gu Yanran had pretended to kill the "middle-aged woman" that Yamaguchi Aiko had disguised herself as in the Caribbean Sea. She had thought that Yamaguchi Aiko was really dead.
It wasn't until Luo Jialan had pushed "Yamaguchi Aiko" out to clear her name of "money laundering" that Gu Nianzhi realized that Yamaguchi Aiko, or Yamaguchi Youko, hadn't died in a car accident in Japan, nor had she died in the Caribbean Sea!
This person was like a venomous snake, hovering around her. Once the time was right, she would give her another fatal blow!
This time, Luo Jialan had given herself away. Gu Nianzhi wouldn't let go of this opportunity. She had to investigate.
This was also the reason why Huo Shaoheng had asked the special operations forces to take over the main investigation of this case from the imperial police station.
Yamaguchi Aiko, or Yamaguchi Youko, wasn't dead.
She was also closely related to the case of Gu Nianzhi's life in Germany. She might even be the mastermind.
With Gu Nianzhi and Gu Xiangwen's contributions to the Huaxia Empire, hunting down Gu Nianzhi was, of course, endangering national security.
Luo Jialan was on the verge of a breakdown.
She had no idea that Yamaguchi Aiko had hunted down Gu Nianzhi in the Caribbean Sea and had even met her.
She only remembered that Yamaguchi Aiko had said that her identity was very secretive and that she had "died" at the hands of pirates in the Caribbean Sea, so her plan would never be seen through.
When Gu Nianzhi suddenly said that Yamaguchi Aiko had hunted her down in the Caribbean Sea, Luo Jialan had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Now she realized that she had completely reversed the sequence of events.
This was a fatal mistake!
How could she make up for this mistake?!
No, she wasn't Yamaguchi Aiko. She couldn't be blamed for Yamaguchi Aiko's crimes.
In her panic, Luo Jialan said, "I don't know why Yamaguchi Aiko didn't die in the Caribbean Sea. I swear I met her in France!"
What a pity. She had just been glad that she hadn't left any clues related to Yamaguchi Aiko, but in the blink of an eye, she was racking her brains to prove that the two of them were related.
What a great irony!
"Come on, you just swore that she 'died' in the Caribbean Sea. Don't tell me that she personally told you that she 'died' in the Caribbean Sea?"
Gu Nianzhi mocked her coldly, but saw the corners of Luo Jialan's eyes twitch twice. Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood. It seemed that Yamaguchi Aiko had even told Luo Jialan this. In order to make this friend, she had really "confided in" Luo Jialan!
