Since Yamaguchi Aiko had even told Luo Jialan about this, then Luo Jialan must have known about Yamaguchi Aiko's pursuit of Gu Nianzhi in Germany. Otherwise, she wouldn't have spent so much money to fund Yamaguchi Aiko's illegal activities.
Gu Nianzhi's expression turned completely cold.
This was no longer an ordinary act of aiding a tyrant. This was a proper act of collusion. The two of them were equally evil.
Gu Nianzhi had never interacted with Luo Jialan at all, let alone become enemies with her.
What was it that made Luo Jialan want to kill Gu Nianzhi?
Just for Huo Shaoheng?
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's eyes twitched. She couldn't help but quickly tap on her phone to send Huo Shaoheng a text.
Huo Shaoheng was smoking when he heard the sound of a text message coming in. He picked it up and looked at it.
[Thoughts Are Here]: A handsome face is a source of trouble! Fury, fury, fury.JPG.
"…"
What the hell? What the hell happened in the ward?
Although Huo Shaoheng was puzzled, he could resist the urge to push the door open and enter. He only replied with a string of words: [???]
Gu Nianzhi smiled when she saw Huo Shaoheng's reply. Her mood miraculously improved, and she even felt a little guilty …
Because Luo Jialan's actions had nothing to do with Huo Shaoheng.
She couldn't vent her anger on him just because he was popular, right?
Gu Nianzhi's gaze fell on Luo Jialan, whose eyes were sparkling. She was in a bad mood again, and said with a sullen face, "What's wrong? Still thinking about how to lie? Stop trying to quibble. That's right, you're not laundering money. You're actually hiring someone to kill someone! There's no such person as Yamaguchi Aiko at all. You've been manipulating everything from the beginning to the end! "
Luo Jialan was so frightened by Gu Nianzhi that she could only subconsciously deny it three times. "I didn't! Not me! I've never done it! "
"If you say no, then no?" Gu Nianzhi didn't want to let Luo Jialan off at all, so she pushed her further. "You're obviously jealous of me. In order to steal my fiancé, you didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to kill me in Germany. That's why I shouldn't sue you for money laundering, but for hiring assassins! "
"Luo Jialan, you are too vicious. Normally, when a woman covets someone else's man, she'll at most become a mistress. But you're directly destroying her body! "
Luo Jialan shook her head quickly, and tears were about to come out of her eyes. She sat paralyzed in front of Huo Xuenong's hospital bed and looked up to see Huo Xuenong sitting on the hospital bed without saying a word. She thought to herself, It's all your fault. If you hadn't agreed, I wouldn't have ended up like this …
However, Huo Xuenong acted as if he didn't see the look in her eyes. He suddenly said to Gu Nianzhi, "… Now that it's proven that it's not money laundering, can you drop the charges of money laundering?"
When Huo Xuenong asked this, even Gu Nianzhi, who had a quick reaction time, couldn't help but be stunned.
Luo Jialan was even more shocked!
She was about to be accused of hiring a killer, but Grandfather Huo was still only concerned about whether the trust fund could be unfrozen!
This was too much!
How could Luo Jialan let Huo Xuenong stay out of it?
She gritted her teeth and finally said, "Grandfather Huo, have you forgotten what you promised me?!"
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself that it was finally here. She immediately said, "Luo Jialan, don't drag Grandfather Huo into this. Your trust fund has nothing to do with Grandfather Huo. "
Luo Jialan was so angry that she couldn't breathe.
If Huo Xuenong hadn't anxiously asked her to transfer half of the trust fund to his cheap grandson, Zhang Wenjie, how could she have made Gu Nianzhi wary and freeze her trust fund in advance?!
Then she followed the clues and forced her to tell her everything about Yamaguchi Aiko!
No wonder Yamaguchi Aiko had vowed that she would never mention her name in front of Gu Nianzhi …
But how did she know that Gu Nianzhi had been present when Yamaguchi Aiko "died at the hands of pirates" in the Caribbean Sea!
Luo Jialan kept cursing Yamaguchi Aiko. She wanted to drag her out and beat her up.
At this moment, Gu Nianzhi waved the arrest warrant in front of Luo Jialan and provoked her further. "Luo Jialan, open your eyes and take a good look at this arrest warrant! I just want to remind you that our Huaxia Empire has the death penalty! "
Luo Jialan was so scared that she turned around and knelt in front of Huo Xuenong's bed. She reached out with both hands and grabbed Huo Xuenong's arm. She said repeatedly, "Grandfather Huo! Grandfather Huo! Help me testify that Yamaguchi Aiko really exists! "
Huo Xuenong's pupils constricted. He pushed Luo Jialan away forcefully and said with a frown, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Have you forgotten?! When we were in France, Yamaguchi Aiko came to the Xie family's manor to pick me up one day. You even met her! "
Although he had only caught a glimpse of her at the entrance of the manor, and Huo Xuenong had never spoken to Yamaguchi Aiko, he had indeed seen her once.
However, Huo Xuenong didn't have a good attitude towards the Japanese. Although he didn't stop Luo Jialan from interacting with Yamaguchi Aiko, he didn't care about Yamaguchi Aiko.
Luo Jialan only hoped that Huo Xuenong could prove that Yamaguchi Aiko was indeed still alive at that time and hadn't died in the Caribbean Sea. At the very least, she wasn't the main culprit of the contract murder.
At this juncture, Luo Jialan could no longer make a choice.
She could only choose the lesser of two evils.
Huo Xuenong was furious.
He could already tell that Yamaguchi Aiko wasn't a good person. At that time in France, he had only taken a glance at the door and didn't see what the woman looked like at all. She wanted him to testify for her and get dragged into this mess?!
Ha, what a dream!
Huo Xuenong closed his eyes, and his aura suddenly withered. He leaned back on the big pillow weakly and said, "Jialan, don't force me to say things that go against my heart. I don't remember seeing such a person at all. How do you want me to testify for you? "
Luo Jialan's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide. Huo Xuenong's words kept echoing in her mind.
"… I don't remember seeing such a person at all …"
"… I don't remember seeing such a person at all …"
"… I don't remember seeing such a person at all …"
Was he burning the bridge before crossing the river?!
Luo Jialan held onto the edge of Huo Xuenong's bed and knelt straight. She begged again with a pained heart, "Grandfather Huo, I beg you, please think again! Think again! That day, Yamaguchi Aiko came to look for me for dinner and shopping. We met you at the entrance of the manor … "
Huo Xuenong closed his eyes as if he hadn't heard Luo Jialan's words.
Luo Jialan begged in every way possible, but Huo Xuenong didn't say a word.
Gu Nianzhi kept nagging at her, "… Luo Jialan, I advise you not to do useless work. Grandfather Huo used to be a general in the Huaxia Empire's military, so why would he give you false testimony? You'd better go with your comrades from the Special Operations Forces and explain how you hired a hitman to kill someone. On account that you're the child of a martyr, I'll plead with the court not to sentence you to death. "
But if she was convicted, even if it wasn't the death penalty, it would still be life imprisonment!
Then what was the point of living?
She might as well die!
But before she died, she had to drag a few people down with her.
Luo Jialan's face darkened. She lowered her head and gripped the edge of the thin blanket on Huo Xuenong's hospital bed tightly with both hands. She muttered, "Grandfather Huo, as long as you can testify for me, I'll agree to any of your conditions!"
"Tsk tsk, Luo Jialan, do you think lawyer Cai and I are dead? You're talking about bribing witnesses in front of us. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have money? Besides, the trust fund has already been frozen, so don't give me an empty check. "Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and sneered. All that was left was to tap her feet.
Luo Jialan turned around to look at her. Gu Nianzhi didn't hide her disdain and looked at her as if she was looking at a pile of trash.
Luo Jialan glanced at her resentfully, then turned back shakily and said to Huo Xuenong, "… Grandfather Huo, are you really going to watch me die? Aren't you going to fulfill the conditions we agreed on? You promised me that if I transferred half of the trust fund to your grandson, Zhang Wenjie, you would let me marry Major General Huo! "
As soon as she said this, Huo Xuenong suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight. He waved his fists and roared, "I'm ignoring you, so you're talking more and more nonsense?! When did I … "
"Grandfather Huo, you don't think that I'll agree to hand over half of my assets just because you said it, do you?" Luo Jialan propped herself up on the edge of the hospital bed and struggled to stand up. "I recorded what you said to me back then. I was preparing for this day! "
Luo Jialan was well aware of how cold Huo Xuenong was.
In order to prevent him from going back on his word and burning the bridge after crossing it, she had also used a little trick. She had secretly recorded the two of them discussing the conditions.
Huo Xuenong's voice stopped abruptly, and his face was filled with shock. "What … What did you say?! You actually recorded it?! "
Xie Shenxing's face darkened when he heard Luo Jialan's words. He said, "Huo Xuenong, when did you have a grandson with the surname Zhang?! Don't you only have one grandson, Shaoheng? "
Xie Shenxing actually knew about the matter between Huo Xuenong and Head Nurse Zhang, but he would never admit the relationship between Zhang Feng and Huo Xuenong.
Even if they had grandchildren, Xie Shenxing still couldn't find this person. He treated the Zhang family as insignificant passersby.
Gu Nianzhi also asked curiously, "… Why did Luo Jialan have to give half of the trust fund to Zhang Wenjie? That's so strange. This is obviously Uncle Huo's inheritance, and also Old Madam Xie's inheritance … If I remember correctly, this is her dowry, which is also her pre-marriage property. How can it be given to the grandson of a mistress? Isn't this too outrageous? "
She shook her head and said with a smile, "I don't believe it. Grandfather Huo can't be so brainless and shameless. Luo Jialan must be lying again, right?"
Huo Xuenong was thick-skinned. He couldn't care less about the sarcasm in Gu Nianzhi's words. He nodded with a red face. "Yes, she's lying. I couldn't have said such a thing."
He knew very well that his plot with Luo Jialan was based on the word "secret".
Once this matter was exposed, it would be completely destroyed, just like the photographic film.
So he denied it and said, "Luo Jialan is full of lies. Even the audio recording can't be trusted. It must have been forged."
Gu Nianzhi quickly nodded in agreement. "You're right. Luo Jialan does like to lie. I just exposed her using a dead person to trick us, and now she's putting the blame on you. She doesn't know how to repent. That's too much."
Gu Nianzhi's every word put a lot of pressure on Luo Jialan.
Luo Jialan's mind buzzed, and the last string of reason was finally broken by Gu Nianzhi.
She clenched her fists and glared at Huo Xuenong. She enunciated each word clearly, "Grandfather Huo, you're not admitting it now? When you used my father's will to trick me, you sounded so convincing! "
