Even Huo Shaoheng, who was outside the ward, secretly applauded Gu Nianzhi's words.
Indeed, the will of a soldier was to give them a chance to deal with their personal affairs.
As for official business, he should have made it clear before he set off. It was impossible to leave it in his will to deal with it.
In the ward, Gu Nianzhi continued, "Secondly, although I've never met Uncle Huo, I can tell from the way he handles the people and things around him that he's a very cautious person. Without a hundred percent certainty, he won't make a move. "
This was probably the main difference between Huo Guanyuan and Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng liked to take risks. As long as there was a 50% chance, he would act. He would not wait until there was a 100% chance.
"… Such a cautious person would not miss any private matters that needed to be dealt with. Therefore, I speculate that his will contains a very complete arrangement for Luo Xinxue and Luo Jialan. "
As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she stared closely at Huo Xuenong's words and actions. Seeing his strange expression, she knew that she had guessed correctly.
She became more confident and said with a smile, "Third, Grandfather Huo got Uncle Huo's will, but he kept it a secret, so I speculate that there is something unfavorable about Grandfather Huo in it."
Huo Xuenong's pupils contracted.
He hadn't expected that Gu Nianzhi, who had never seen the will and didn't know Huo Guanyuan, would be able to guess the contents of his will so accurately!
Gu Nianzhi quickly thought about it. "Then what is the content? Is it harmful to Grandfather Huo? So unlucky that he managed to hide this will for 17 years? "
"Haha, you're so imaginative. It's such a waste of your talent to be a lawyer. You should go write novels. Maybe you'll already be famous." Huo Xuenong finally spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open. Zhang Baochen appeared with his son, Zhang Wenjie, and daughter, Zhang Wenna.
He was holding a fruit basket in one hand and a lunchbox in the other. Standing at the door and seeing so many people in the ward, he was a little dumbfounded.
Gu Nianzhi was thinking about what kind of shameful private matter could make Huo Xuenong refuse to take out the will.
As soon as she saw the Zhang family, she suddenly thought that this shameful private matter should be related to the Zhang family, right?!
Gu Nianzhi immediately turned around and asked, "Huh? Why are you here? What are you doing here? "
Zhang Wenjie was excited to see Gu Nianzhi and immediately said, "Miss Gu? Oh, you're here too. My grandfather asked us to come. We even need to bring our IDs and bank accounts. Did my grandfather ask you to come as well? "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
She immediately understood that Old Master Huo was planning to change the beneficiaries of the trust fund immediately.
If they hadn't made the first move and frozen the trust fund, they might have succeeded …
Gu Nianzhi immediately turned around and said to Huo Xuenong with a smile, "The content in Uncle Huo's will that is disadvantageous to grandfather Huo should be related to the Zhang family, right?"
Huo Xuenong tried his best to hold it in. He didn't want to reveal an uncomfortable expression, but his hand that was gripping the blanket tightly revealed his true state of mind.
Gu Nianzhi's gaze shifted to the veins on the back of his hand, which looked like old tree bark. She nodded. "Looks like I guessed right again."
"Guessed right my ass!" Huo Xuenong's voice was gruff, and he finally couldn't help but curse.
"Isn't it?" Gu Nianzhi put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and said with a smile, "From the looks of it, Uncle Huo's will should have three parts."
"One, the placement of Luo Xinxue and Luo Jialan."
"Two, the distribution of his inheritance."
"Three, the treatment of Zhang Feng."
After Gu Nianzhi finished speaking, Huo Xuenong's body suddenly stiffened. Then, as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out by someone, he fell limply onto the hospital bed and closed his eyes.
Zhang Baochen was so scared that he threw away the fruit basket and food box in his hands and quickly rushed over. "Dad! Dad! How are you?! Don't scare us! "
Zhang Wenjie and Zhang Wenna were also shocked. They quickly walked over and stood in front of Huo Xuenong's hospital bed. They anxiously asked about Huo Xuenong's condition.
Luo Jialan and Cai Shengnan looked at each other and quietly left Huo Xuenong's hospital bed. They moved towards the door of the ward.
Xie Shenxing's two staff members saw that three more people had entered the ward and quickly protected him.
However, the three staff members from the special operations forces blocked the door of the ward and didn't allow anyone to leave.
Gu Nianzhi stood beside Xie Shenxing and shook her head with a smile. She looked at the three members of the Zhang family who were crying in front of Huo Xuenong's hospital bed and said, "Are you guys putting on a big show? Grandfather Huo is just tired and closed his eyes to rest. Do you guys have to be so dramatic? "
Zhang Baochen turned around angrily. His face was still wet with tears as he said loudly, "My father is already so old and has already fainted. You guys still want to force him?! What's the matter? Can't you wait until he's better?! "
Gu Nianzhi spread her hands. "Mr. Zhang, this is the high-class ward of the imperial capital's military general hospital. It has complete equipment and facilities to ensure grandfather Huo's health requirements. Look, the equipment over there doesn't have any reaction. It's enough to show that grandfather Huo's heart rate is normal, his blood pressure is normal, and even his breathing rate is healthy and strong. So why are you crying? Don't you think it's bad luck? "
Zhang Baochen was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at the equipment beside the hospital bed. As expected, everything was normal.
He looked at Huo Xuenong again and could clearly see the eyeballs under his eyelids moving rapidly.
As expected, he hadn't really fainted.
Zhang Baochen was a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly, "Dad, are you tired? If you're tired, then rest early. I'll ask these people to leave. "
Huo Xuenong really hadn't fainted. He had wanted to pretend to be sick like he was at home, but he had made a mistake. He hadn't expected that this was a hospital, and it was a high-class ward with the best facilities. If he had a relapse again, he would have been detected by the equipment in minutes, and a team of doctors would have immediately come to see him.
Originally, he had wanted to rely on the fact that he was an old man and had a little of all kinds of geriatric diseases. No one could say that he wasn't sick.
In the end, he had met Gu Nianzhi, who was serious about it. He had really lost face!
Huo Xuenong opened his eyes, and his expression was almost ferocious.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi and gritted his teeth as he said, "Thank you so much. I'm tired now. Can you guys leave?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded. "When I'm done, we'll leave."
She took a step forward and looked at Zhang Baochen. She asked, "Mr. Zhang, may I ask how old you are?"
"… Forty-seven. What's wrong?" Zhang Baochen looked at Huo Xuenong blankly. "Dad, what are you talking about?"
"Tsk tsk, then you were already 30 when Uncle Huo's accident happened? You hadn't returned to the Huo family at that time, right? "
Zhang Baochen shook his head. "I only returned to my father's side after my eldest brother passed away."
Gu Nianzhi thought about it. "Grandfather Huo had an affair with Zhang Feng more than 40 years ago. In that case, other than Old Madam Xie, I think Uncle Huo should also know about it."
The corners of Huo Xuenong's eyes twitched imperceptibly, and he looked away.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him steadily and said with a smile, "I understand. The part of Uncle Huo's will that was a private matter that Grandfather Huo didn't want to see must have something to do with Zhang Feng."
"I speculate that Uncle Huo somehow found out about Zhang Feng and Grandfather Huo's illicit relationship, but Old Madam Xie had already passed away at that time, so he didn't say anything and kept it to himself."
"But in his will, he made a decision on Zhang Feng. What kind of decision was it? " Gu Nianzhi rested her chin on one hand and said in a daze, "I'm guessing that with Uncle Huo's personality, he wouldn't have been very intense and would have been very reserved. At most, he would have asked Zhang Feng to leave Grandfather Huo's side and the Huo family, right?"
"But at that time, Grandfather Huo was still in the ascendant phase of his career, and it might even have been the most critical step."
"If Uncle Huo's will had been announced at that time, anyone with a discerning eye would have known what had happened."
"And the problem of style was too serious for someone like Grandfather Huo."
"So Grandfather Huo didn't allow such a thing to ruin his reputation and affect his promotion. Looking at the timing, Grandfather Huo was promoted to the standing committee of the Supreme Military Council after Uncle Huo's death. "
"So Grandfather Huo suppressed the will and quietly watched as Huo Guanyuan's widow, Luo Xinxue, received Huo Guanyuan's trust fund and all of his other assets."
"Later, Luo Xinxue suddenly died, and Luo Jialan, a lonely orphan girl, became the first legal heir to the property. Grandfather Huo knew that he had a better way to deal with the will."
Gu Nianzhi had just finished speaking, and before she could confirm the truth of her story with Huo Xuenong, she heard applause in the ward.
"Little Nianzhi, oh Little Nianzhi, I, Xie Shenxing, have never been convinced by anyone in my life, but you are definitely one of the people I am convinced by!"
Xie Shenxing clapped for Gu Nianzhi and looked at Huo Xuenong with disdain. He turned his head and took out a letter from the staff member next to him. He waved it at everyone in the ward. "This is a copy of Huo Guanyuan's will. It was found in his Swiss bank safe."
Luo Jialan's eyes widened and she said in surprise, "A Swiss bank safe? My father has a safe in a Swiss bank?! "
