Xie Shenxing laughed loudly and gave Gu Nianzhi a thumbs up. "Good! Little Nianzhi, good job! Good job! Good job! "
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and smiled. Her eyes sparkled with a sly light as she said modestly, "Granduncle, you flatter me."
Xie Shenxing patted her shoulder. "Granduncle wasn't wrong about you. You're indeed capable." As he spoke, he turned to look at Huo Xuenong, who was lying on the hospital bed. "I think you shouldn't be stubborn and struggle. Take out Guanyuan's will and I won't hold you accountable. "
Huo Guanyuan's trust fund had never fallen into grandfather Huo's hands.
Huo Xuenong's eyes were gloomy and indignant.
He had planned this for so long, and he wasn't going to give up just because of a few threats.
The ward fell silent for a moment.
Cai Shengnan and Luo Jialan actually stood on both sides of Huo Xuenong's hospital bed and stood next to him.
Gu Nianzhi and Xie Shenxing retreated to the window and lowered their heads to whisper.
The three staff members of the special operations forces remained calm as they texted Huo Shaoheng for instructions on what to do next.
..
In the corridor outside the ward, Huo Shaoheng suddenly heard a sound from the elevator. Someone was coming.
He quickly turned around and led the remaining members of the special operations forces to the corner where he had been hiding.
The elevator door opened. Zhang Baochen, the illegitimate son of Huo Xuenong and the head nurse, Zhang Feng, walked out of the elevator with his son, Zhang Wenjie, and daughter, Zhang Wenna, carrying a large fruit basket and an exquisite food box.
"You two have to greet grandfather when you see him later. Remember to be good and don't make him angry."
"Wenjie, do you have your passport and identity documents?"
Huo Xuenong had asked them to bring these documents.
"I did. Why did you bring these? "Zhang Wenjie looked impatient." The old man does whatever he wants, and you're just messing around. "
"I'm so filial! Filial! Do you understand? "Zhang Baochen knocked Zhang Wenjie's head in disappointment.
..
In the ward, Gu Nianzhi stood beside Xie Shenxing with her arms crossed, but her eyes were fixed on Huo Xuenong's bed.
Her mind raced. Why did Huo Xuenong hide Huo Guanyuan's will?
If what Song Jinning and Luo Jialan said was true, and Huo Guanyuan really left the entire trust fund to Zhang Wenjie, then why would Huo Xuenong dare to let Luo Jialan give half of it to Zhang Wenjie?!
Gu Nianzhi believed that Luo Jialan wasn't a good person either. If it hadn't been for Ying 'er, it wouldn't have been easy for her to give in.
Was there really something in the will that they didn't know?
Gu Nianzhi thought about it over and over again, then looked thoughtfully at Huo Xuenong, who was lying on the hospital bed with a gloomy expression.
Her dark, jade-like eyes darted around. She walked up to Huo Xuenong and looked down at him. "Grandfather Huo, Uncle Huo's will was once in your hands, wasn't it?"
This was something Huo Xuenong couldn't deny.
Because the military had accurate records.
This was handed over to the Huo family.
Huo Xuenong nodded and said with a sullen expression, "He did give it to me, but I was too sad back then and didn't know where I put the will. Maybe I was too sad and tore it up."
"Then have you read this will?" Gu Nianzhi asked quietly again.
Her gaze was clear and gentle, making it impossible for anyone to resist it.
Huo Xuenong's mind raced, and he nodded again. "I read it once, so I know that there was no distribution of his property in the will."
"Then why did you tell Luo Jialan that there was?"
"I didn't say that. Luo Jialan was lying." Huo Xuenong denied it flatly. "Even the recording was fake."
In fact, it was easy for experts to verify whether the recording was fake or not with audio analysis.
However, Gu Nianzhi didn't want to push Huo Xuenong too hard on this matter. She had more important questions to ask.
Therefore, she didn't refute him. She only said, "You and Luo Jialan both have their own opinions on this matter, and the evidence in each other's hands isn't very complete, so I'll be suspicious for now."
Therefore, she wouldn't let Luo Jialan's preconceived statement occupy her thoughts.
Gu Nianzhi asked again, "If the will didn't specify the distribution of the estate, then what did it say?"
Huo Xuenong had already come back to his senses and quickly shook his head. "It's been more than ten years. Who still remembers?"
"But you just said that you remember that there was no content about the distribution of the estate." Gu Nianzhi calmly reminded Huo Xuenong, "Could it be that you have selective amnesia about the contents of the will? Why don't we try hypnosis by a psychiatrist? This will help you recall what was written in Uncle Huo's will. "
"Impossible!" Huo Xuenong objected firmly. "I don't have amnesia, and I don't need a psychiatrist to hypnotize me."
"Then what should we do? You refuse to see a doctor, and you say that you don't remember the contents of the will, and you even lost the will. " Gu Nianzhi gently tapped her left cheek with a fair and tender finger. "What do you think is the possibility of so many coincidences happening at the same time?"
Huo Xuenong didn't speak. He leaned against the hospital bed with a sullen face. "I'm tired. All of you go out. Otherwise, I'll call the doctor. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and raised her hand. "Grandfather Huo, don't worry. I still have something to ask."
Huo Xuenong simply closed his eyes.
Gu Nianzhi pretended not to see it. She organized her thoughts and said, "Let's first explain the will from a legal perspective."
"According to the law, a will refers to a legal act that a citizen, to the extent permitted by the law, makes a personal disposition of his or her estate or other affairs in a manner prescribed by law while he or she is still alive, and takes effect upon the death of the person concerned.
"So from the nature of a will, it is a personal disposition of the deceased's personal property and other personal affairs."
"According to grandfather Huo, there is no content about the distribution of property in Uncle Huo's will. This is obviously not in line with the rules of a will. I very much doubt that Uncle Huo would make such an unorganized will."
Huo Xuenong's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, but he still didn't say anything.
Gu Nianzhi didn't miss the change in Huo Xuenong's expression.
She knew that she had guessed correctly. She curled her lips and continued to ask, "So, grandfather Huo, you still insist that there is nothing related to Uncle Huo's personal property in his will?"
"… What do you mean? I said there is no, so there is no. "
"Then this will is invalid." Gu Nianzhi spread her hands with a look of pity. "It can't even be called a will."
"Why can't it be called a will?! It was handed over from the military level by level, so why can't it be called a will?! "
Gu Nianzhi looked Huo Xuenong up and down with a smile for a while before saying, "Because if, according to grandfather Huo's insistence, the will is indeed valid, then that means that the will must have mentioned the distribution of property."
Huo Xuenong opened his mouth and looked up at Gu Nianzhi, but he didn't know where to start.
Gu Nianzhi took it over as if she was talking to herself, "… We can speculate that Uncle Huo's will stated that he wanted to leave all of the trust fund to Major General Huo. This made grandfather Huo very unhappy, so he decided to hide the will and let Luo Jialan temporarily receive the inheritance?"
Huo Xuenong sneered and said, "… Lie, continue lying!"
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "It looks like that's not actually what the will says."
"… How do you know that's not the case?" Luo Jialan interrupted and asked, "Grandfather Huo personally told me that my father's will said that the entire trust fund was given to Major General Huo."
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and said, "I don't think that's in line with Uncle Huo's personality and style of doing things."
"What do you mean? You know my father better than I do? " Luo Jialan's heart was sour. The man she liked liked Gu Nianzhi, and now Gu Nianzhi even knew Huo Guanyuan better than she did?
Dream on!
Gu Nianzhi smiled.
Her impression of Huo Guanyuan came from his secret love for Song Jinning.
Such a cautious man, a man who wouldn't act unless he saw a rabbit, would rather marry someone he didn't like and live the rest of his life as a fake couple than take the initiative to pursue the person he liked. How could he have made a will that was full of mistakes?!
"It wouldn't be strange if I knew your father better than you," Gu Nianzhi said nonchalantly. "Because a person's understanding of another person doesn't depend on how long they've known each other or how many activities they've participated in together, but on whether they have the heart to understand each other. Luo Jialan, your interest in your father is obviously not as great as his trust fund, so don't argue with me on purpose. "
Luo Jialan shrank her neck back, and her entire body sank into her hooded jacket.
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at Huo Xuenong. "Grandfather Huo, I guess there shouldn't be any particularly important business in that will, right?"
Huo Xuenong was thinking about how to kick Gu Nianzhi out of these lawsuits, so he was caught off guard by Gu Nianzhi's sudden question. He nodded reflexively, then realized and immediately shook his head. He said angrily, "How can there be business in a personal will?! What are you trying to get out of me?! I don't want to talk to you! Don't try to play any more tricks! "
Gu Nianzhi wasn't angry at all. She smiled and said, "Lawyers are either scheming boys or scheming girls. How can they be lawyers without scheming? I'll take that as a compliment! "
The corners of Huo Xuenong's mouth twitched. He thought to himself that Gu Nianzhi was really thick-skinned. He wasn't complimenting her!
"There was no business in the first place. Who would mention business in a will?" Grandfather Huo scoffed.
"… Yes, I don't think so either." Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded. "I speculate from three aspects that Uncle Huo's will probably doesn't involve business."
"First of all, Mr. Huo Guanyuan is a soldier and a senior colonel. If there really was something unspeakable in his will, why didn't he report it directly to his superiors?"
"What's the use of writing it in his own will?"
"If nothing happened to him, wouldn't he have reported it to his superiors?"
That was obviously impossible.
Huo Guanyuan was extremely principled, so he would never do something that didn't comply with the confidentiality regulations.
