Huo Shaoheng smiled but didn't say anything.
It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but he didn't want to say it himself.
If he really said it, Gu Nianzhi's little tail would definitely be raised to the sky.
Yes, one shouldn't be too proud.
"Get up and take a shower. I've already ordered breakfast. It'll be here soon." Huo Shaoheng rubbed her head.
Gu Nianzhi put on her slippers and stood up. She smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if the United States can't find evidence. As long as the Secret Service works hard, the arrested prosecutor will confess. When the time comes, I might not even have to go to court to skin her. "
Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "This concerns the child's future. This prosecutor will never confess that he has a direct connection with Cai Shengnan, let alone an indirect connection."
Gu Nianzhi: "???"
She looked at Huo Shaoheng with question marks in her eyes. "No way? If he doesn't confess, the responsibility will be all on him, and the crime will be even greater, right? "
If he exposed Cai Shengnan, he might be able to do some meritorious service and reduce the punishment.
People who didn't have children didn't understand their parents' mentality.
Huo Shaoheng looked down at her, then turned around and walked out of Gu Nianzhi's bedroom. He said, "Just you wait if you don't believe me."
..
Sure enough, Gu Nianzhi didn't see the arrested prosecutor pull Cai Shengnan out until the day of the court appearance.
He insisted that he couldn't stand Gu Nianzhi using the Huo family's power to "bully" the martyr's orphan, Luo Jialan, and steal her property. So he was possessed and tampered with the list of prosecution lawyers who appeared in court.
Then he found out that Gu Nianzhi had written an inquiry email to the prosecutor's office. He was so scared that he colluded with the hackers and exposed the matter. He only wanted to blow the matter up so that Huo Shaoheng's superiors and family would persuade Gu Nianzhi to quit.
Huo Shaoheng's status and military rank made him the best target.
Because no matter what the rumors were, as long as it involved the military, it would make some haters with ulterior motives jump out from the shadows to eat human blood.
So when the entire internet was in a "bloodbath", for the sake of Huo Shaoheng's reputation and the reputation of the military, Huo Shaoheng's superiors and family would definitely stop Gu Nianzhi from competing to be the prosecution lawyer. It was even possible that the charges against Luo Jialan would be dropped.
However, he did not expect that someone would be better than the hacker he hired. In other words, he underestimated the intelligence of netizens.
Apart from a small number of spammers with ulterior motives and a small number of people who blindly joined in without knowing the truth, there were also a large number of righteous passers-by with brains and conscience. They stood up and fought against the spammers and the brain-dead, and finally turned the whole situation around.
This time, the higher-ups of the military and the Procuratorate did not "smooth things over" as they had thought. Instead, they immediately conducted a thorough investigation.
Soldiers could not infringe on the interests of the people, but the honor and reputation of soldiers could not be tarnished by people with ulterior motives.
…
It was already the end of May when the case of "the Imperial Procuratorate accused Luo Jialan of intentional homicide" was heard, and the weather was gradually getting hotter.
The trees beside the sidewalk in front of the Intermediate People's Court in the Imperial Capital provided shade, filtering layers of sunlight.
At the entrance of the courthouse, Gu Nianzhi saw Cai Shengnan and Luo Jialan smiling.
Cai Shengnan was dressed in Issey Miyake's black professional attire. With her high nose, big mouth, and deep-set eyes, she had a westernized heroic spirit and beauty.
Luo Jialan, on the other hand, was dressed very well. She had cut her hair short and blown it into a pear blossom. Her eyebrows and eyes were carefully drawn, diluting the sharpness and arrogance in her expression. She was dressed in a light purple Chanel dress, dignified and beautiful, and tightly wrapped up.
They were also sizing up Gu Nianzhi.
Today, Gu Nianzhi purposely wore a heavy white long-sleeved shirt with a small lapel collar and a smoky gray thin wool blazer over it. She wore a pair of modified suit pants of the same color and a black Manolo T-shirt.
Blahnik professional women's shoes had thin heels that were seven centimeters long, but because the arch of the foot was designed to bear the weight very well, walking in these thin heels wasn't tiring at all.
She liked to wear these kinds of high heels when she appeared in court. Firstly, it gave her an advantage in height and had a psychological effect on the other party. Secondly, standing for a long time wouldn't cause her back to ache.
Moreover, this kind of standard professional style made her look older, which would make her appear more mature in everyone's eyes, and make her speak more trustworthy.
Gu Nianzhi was already 1.7 meters tall, and with the addition of seven centimeter high heels, she looked almost 1.8 meters tall.
She had a delicate and bright face the size of a palm, straight legs, flat shoulders, and a slender waist. She was as tall as a Victoria's Secret supermodel.
In front of Gu Nianzhi, Cai Shengnan and Luo Jialan's aura was suppressed for no reason.
However, Cai Shengnan wasn't angry at all. She was also wearing high heels. Her high heels were 12 centimeters long, so she looked only a little shorter than Gu Nianzhi.
But that wasn't the point. The point was that she had successfully seized the prosecutor's weakness. The other party had taken all the responsibility, and it had nothing to do with her.
This meant that she and Gu Nianzhi were standing on the same starting line again.
Luo Jialan stood next to them. The celebrity was a head shorter than the two of them.
She was also wearing high heels, but she wasn't as tall as Cai Shengnan, so she was outdone.
But she wasn't angry, because Cai Shengnan had given her enough confidence.
This time, they were going to defeat Gu Nianzhi in court and defend their personal freedom and family property.
Ever since Luo Jialan had completely given up on Huo Shaoheng, her mind seemed to have become more flexible.
When discussing the case with Cai Shengnan, she came up with several good ideas, which Cai Shengnan fully approved of.
"Lawyer Gu, why are you the only one here? Where's your 'victim, Ms. Song'? "Cai Shengnan smiled from ear to ear and pretended to look behind Gu Nianzhi.
Luo Jialan also smiled and said gently, "Maybe it's because she's going to sue me for 'intentional murder', so she's too embarrassed to appear in court? After all, she's still alive and well. How can she have the nerve to stand in court and accuse someone of intentionally murdering her? Isn't that like slapping herself in the face? Right? "
Gu Nianzhi chuckled and looked at Luo Jialan and Cai Shengnan. She said, "Lawyer Cai, don't just laugh. Your client is indeed quite ignorant of the law. You can't just laugh by yourself, you have to educate her. "
Cai Shengnan shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm not laughing at her. I'm laughing at you. What's wrong? Feeling guilty? "
Gu Nianzhi's lips curled up. "So lawyer Cai is also ignorant of the law? Then what should I do? I'll have an unfair advantage in the lawsuit later. "
Cai Shengnan said calmly, "You don't have to be so glib. Your words don't count in court."
"Is this a glib tongue?" Gu Nianzhi nodded and pointed at Luo Jialan. "She said that since she's alive and well, she can't sue her for intentional murder. Isn't she ignorant of the law by saying something like that?"
Cai Shengnan was stunned.
"Speechless?" Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows. "According to the law, intentional murder is a crime of conduct. As long as she commits intentional murder, then regardless of whether the victim actually dies or not, and regardless of whether her murder is at the stage of preparation, attempted, or termination, it constitutes intentional murder and must be filed for trial."
Cai Shengnan was not frightened by Gu Nianzhi's legal provisions. She sneered and said, "But as long as your so-called 'victim' is still alive, then whether my client committed intentional murder or not is up for debate. Based on the evidence I've gathered, my client has no motive or behavior to commit intentional murder, so you'd better save it. Don't waste your energy. "
Luo Jialan clapped her hands and said, "Yes, yes. Lawyer Gu, you should recognize yourself. The Huo family and Song Jinning don't take you seriously. Otherwise, why would you be the only one to come to such an awkward lawsuit? Where's your fiancé? Where's your client? Why is he hiding far away? "
Gu Nianzhi raised her hand to look at her watch and said nonchalantly, "It's not even eight o 'clock yet. There's still an hour before the trial begins. Are you worried that you won't live to see my client appear in this hour?"
Luo Jialan's smile was a little twisted. "… Why are you cursing me?!"
"Did I curse you?" Gu Nianzhi was amused. She raised her hand and casually fiddled with the diamond earring on one of her earlobes. "I'm making a reasonable deduction. Otherwise, how can you explain why you're so eager to conclude that I'm the only one to come to this lawsuit?"
"I –!" Luo Jialan was anxious. "You just know how to distort other people's words!"
"I'm distorting? Okay, explain. Why are you so sure that my client won't come? "Gu Nianzhi walked into the courthouse." There's still an hour left. What's the hurry? "
Luo Jialan was so angry that her hands and feet trembled at Gu Nianzhi's words that she was worried that she wouldn't live to see another hour. She said angrily to Gu Nianzhi's back, "If you say that again, I'll say that you're threatening my personal safety!"
Gu Nianzhi stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around. She fixed her gaze on Luo Jialan, her dark eyes extremely deep. "I'm threatening your personal safety? I'm sorry, Miss Luo, but we have to clarify such serious accusations. "
She looked up at the surveillance camera at the entrance of the courthouse and held her phone in her hand. "There are surveillance cameras here. Tell me clearly, when, where, and how did I threaten your personal safety? "
Luo Jialan felt that Gu Nianzhi was afraid, so she was amused. She covered her mouth and laughed. "Huh? You have times when you're afraid? I thought you weren't afraid of anything! "
"Idiot!" Gu Nianzhi cursed in a low voice. "I asked you to say it because I don't want you to die in an accident and then frame me!"
Luo Jialan was stunned. "… No way? I was just joking. It's not that serious, is it? "
She looked around, worried that there was danger nearby.
Gu Nianzhi raised her phone in satisfaction and pointed it at Luo Jialan with a smile. "Okay, I've already recorded what you said just now. It proves that what you said just now was just a joke. If you really die in the future, I'll have a chance to prove my innocence. "
Luo Jialan was so angry at Gu Nianzhi that her face turned red and white. She clenched her fists and said angrily, "Don't be smug! I won't let you succeed in court! "
