Gu Yanran listened to Gu Nianzhi repeat what she had said last year and was completely unmoved.
After a while, she shrugged and said nonchalantly, "From the moment you found out that the vegetable wasn't Gu Xiangwen, you should have known that it was just a story. Why do you take it so seriously? "
"I'm serious? You used my parents' lives to make up a story. Why did I take it so seriously?! "Gu Nianzhi was furious. She couldn't help but lean over to slap Gu Yanran again.
At that moment, the door behind her creaked open and Huo Shaoheng walked in.
"Nianzhi!" He quickly walked over and pulled her back just in time. He frowned and said, "Ask her nicely. What's wrong with hitting people for no reason?"
He was about to go to the Senate to be the Chief Legal Counsel, but he was still like a firecracker that would explode at the slightest touch.
Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to show up.
Gu Yanran's heart skipped a beat when she saw Huo Shaoheng stop Gu Nianzhi from attacking.
Huo Shaoheng pulled Gu Nianzhi to sit on the chair and stood behind her with his hands behind his back. He looked at Gu Yanran quietly and said, "In the past, you said that you received a message from Gu Xiangwen asking you to look for him there, and you went. But from what we know now, it's impossible for Gu Xiangwen to send you a message. So where did you get the news from? How did you know where the plane landed? "
Gu Yanran ran her hand through her hair and pouted at Gu Nianzhi. "Didn't she just say that? Gu Xiangwen had a small communicator with him that could continuously send out signals, and the battery life was very long. I confirmed Gu Xiangwen's location based on the signal from the communication device. "
"So it wasn't my dad who sent you the message?" Gu Nianzhi followed up with another question. "What did the small communicator look like? What instrument did you use to receive the signal? "
Gu Yanran was at a loss for words. Her mind spun rapidly as she stammered, "Actually, it's just … a phone …"
"We've checked your phone. In the past two years, your phone hasn't received any signal from the Cape of Good Hope."
Huo Shaoheng took two steps forward and looked down at her with an intimidating aura. "Who else informed you? Why would they notify you? What did you do when you went to the island in the Cape of Good Hope? "
No wonder he was the leader of the Special Operations Forces. He was like a professional interrogator.
Huo Shaoheng's three simple sentences almost destroyed Gu Yanran's psychological defenses.
Gu Yanran couldn't help but shiver.
"It doesn't matter whether you tell me or not." Gu Nianzhi continued to trick her. "We've already found Cereus.
The crew of this submarine agreed to testify against you, saying that you directly caused the death of my parents. Just wait to be shot! "
This completely infuriated Gu Yanran.
She jerked her head up, clenched her fists, and said sternly, "Shut up! Where did the staff come from?! Have you seen a ghost?! "
"Ghosts?" Gu Nianzhi's mind raced. She stood up and said coldly, "Are they already dead? Gu Yanran, you're pretty good! "
Gu Yanran rolled her eyes. "When did you hear me say they were dead? There are obviously no such people, yet you insist on saying that they are dead. Your imagination is really heaven-defying! "
"Really? How can there be no other staff on such a big submarine? "Gu Nianzhi was very suspicious.
Gu Yanran looked at her in amusement and deliberately said, "Did you give yourself away? Aren't you Gu Xiangwen's biological daughter? How come you don't even know about the submarine he specially built? "
"Haha, I left my father at the age of 12, and I don't remember anything before I was 12. What do you think I would know? Does this have anything to do with whether I'm his biological daughter or not? Your words are really illogical and don't know what you're talking about. "
Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes and spread her hands. "If you know, then say it. You don't say a word. You only know how to scare people. Do you really think I'm scared?"
When Gu Yanran heard Gu Nianzhi say that she left her father at the age of 12, her body visibly shrank. Her gaze drifted, and she didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Huo Shaoheng echoed Gu Nianzhi and said calmly, "There's no need to waste your breath on her. Anyway, the submarine is already with us. Go to the submarine and check the records of the computer operating system. You'll know what happened seven years ago. "
"As for you, Gu Yanran, you missed the opportunity to 'confess and atone for your crimes'. Don't regret it in the future." Huo Shaoheng's voice turned cold, and his handsome face was covered with a layer of coldness. It was like a sharp knife being unsheathed, stabbing into Gu Yanran's heart that still had a sliver of hope.
Gu Yanran's heart sank.
Wasn't the submarine damaged? How could the computer system be fine?
Was Huo Shaoheng lying to her?
She looked at Huo Shaoheng carefully, but she couldn't see any clues from his handsome face that was as cold as ice.
She could only tell that he was very dissatisfied and was about to get impatient …
Gu Nianzhi understood and walked to Huo Shaoheng's side. She held his arm and pursed her lips. She deliberately said loudly, "Forget it then. I wanted to give her a chance, but she didn't know what was good for her. It seems like she really was an accomplice to my parents' murder. Let's go. We won't come to this crappy place again. Even the air smells stinky. "
The two of them turned around and walked towards the door.
Gu Yanran's eyes sparkled as she watched them walk forward step by step. Just as they were about to reach the door, Gu Yanran finally couldn't resist the temptation of the "opportunity" and raised her voice. "Will you let me out if I tell you?"
Gu Nianzhi's footsteps paused, but she didn't turn around. She said calmly, "Do you want to tell me now? It's too late. You can keep your secret for the New Year. "
"There are still more than eight months until the New Year. You're trying to stuff her to death." Huo Shaoheng teased calmly and hugged Gu Nianzhi dotingly.
Gu Yanran's eyes turned red.
Her breathing became unstable.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and tilted her head. "It's best if she's stuffed to death. Then we won't have to dirty our hands."
Gu Yanran listened to their words and said fearfully, "You said that you'd be lenient if you confessed! Don't tell me it doesn't count? "
She had been relying on the disparity in information.
Because she knew some things that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng definitely didn't know.
But now that the two of them were acting like they didn't care about the information she knew, Gu Yanran couldn't be smug anymore.
She was firm without desires.
If the other party didn't want anything from her, she really didn't have any tricks up her sleeve.
Gu Nianzhi finally turned around to look at her. She frowned and said, "I asked you to tell me just now, but you put on airs and refused to say a word."
"Now we don't want to listen to your old antique, and you're crying and shouting to tell us. No one would believe you if you said you weren't a b * tch. "
Gu Yanran blushed at Gu Nianzhi's words. She held it in and said, "You don't allow me to scold people, but you can scold people yourself?!"
"How did I scold you?" Gu Nianzhi walked back and stood in front of her. "You said b * tch? But you're a b * tch! "
The corners of Gu Yanran's lips twitched. She rationally decided not to argue with Gu Nianzhi anymore. She probably wouldn't be able to beat her even if she reincarnated ten times.
She looked at Huo Shaoheng and quickly said, "I really went over because I received the signal. At that time … "
She pointed at Gu Nianzhi and blinked quickly. "At that time, she was 12 years old. She also saw the signal and knew that Gu Xiangwen and his wife were in trouble. She insisted on sailing to the Cape of Good Hope to save them. I was a step too late. By the time I chased after her, her ship had already disappeared into the vast sea. "
"I was in a hurry to meet up with Gu Xiangwen and the others, so I only sent a few sailors out to sea to look for them. I brought a team of doctors to the Cape of Good Hope. Unfortunately, I didn't find them and found that they had been sunk. When I came back, I found that she … had also disappeared. "
Gu Yanran's eyes flickered even more. "Gu Xiangwen and his wife died in the Atlantic Ocean. Gu Nianzhi … she also disappeared. Tell me, how could I remain calm in the face of such a huge fortune? Besides, without them, I would be the first heir. If it were you, wouldn't you do the same? "
"In the end, you were the one who received Gu Xiangwen's signal." Huo Shaoheng mercilessly exposed her lie. "But you can't prove that you received the signal. How do you expect us to believe the rest of your story?"
Gu Nianzhi laughed. "Gu Yanran, actually, just admit that it was the Japanese who informed you. It's convenient for everyone. I'm so tired for you to see you racking your brains to come up with these incoherent stories. "
"There really is a communicator! It's the quantum communicator. "Gu Yanran saw that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng didn't believe her, so she had no choice but to throw out her trump card.
"Quantum communicator?!" Gu Nianzhi suddenly thought of the quantum communicator she had confiscated from the safe at the headquarters of the Angel in the World Foundation. She couldn't help asking, "… Is it the quantum communicator you 'gifted' to the Angel in the World Foundation?"
