Gu Yanran was flabbergasted. Her hand clenched into a fist and she couldn't hide her surprise. "How do you know about the quantum communicator? You even know where it is … "
"At the 'Angel in the World' foundation?" Gu Nianzhi interrupted Gu Yanran and continued where she had left off. "Haha, you've really been in prison for so long that you don't even know the years."
Huo Shaoheng turned around and said calmly, "You can't go online here. Other than an hour of reading newspapers and watching television every day, there's no other chance to interact with the outside world."
"No wonder." Gu Nianzhi's expression softened.
She looked at Gu Yanran and enunciated each word, "I'm afraid you still don't know that I'm in a lawsuit with the 'Angel in the World' foundation in Japan to recover your illegally donated property. I just won the lawsuit and their foundation went bankrupt. I'll take over everything. "
"What?!" Gu Yanran screamed and stood up with her hands on the table. "You even want to take back the things you donated to a charity?! Gu Nianzhi, do you have to be so ruthless?! "
"I'm ruthless?" Gu Nianzhi sneered and turned her head. "'Angel in the World' is a foundation that uses the guise of a charity to do all kinds of evil things. Even if I put a penny more there, I'll be helping the wicked! Gu Yanran, oh, no, Kasahara Naoko, don't worry about how I spend my own money. "
Only then did Gu Yanran realize that she had indeed failed miserably. Not only had the rest of the Gu family's assets been taken by the woman in front of her, but even the assets she had transferred had been recovered by her.
Was there anything in this world that she couldn't do, that she couldn't do?
Gu Yanran's face was ashen as she sat down dejectedly. Her face was wooden, and she looked even more dispirited than when Gu Nianzhi had beaten her up in the dark.
Huo Shaoheng gestured for Gu Nianzhi not to speak.
They waited quietly for a few minutes until Gu Yanran's psychological defenses were about to collapse. Gu Nianzhi then asked, "How did you receive the message from the quantum communicator? How many quantum communicators are there at home? "
The corners of Gu Yanran's mouth twitched, and her eyes rolled dully. She said, "… Only one. It was received with a phone. That thing is already in your hands. Haven't you used it? "
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "That quantum communicator is broken. I can't use it at all."
"It's still bad?" Gu Yanran was taken aback. "I don't think so. Haven't they fixed it yet? "
"What do you mean by 'still'? Could it have been broken a long time ago? "Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow." What exactly is going on? "
Gu Yanran looked down, panic and viciousness flashing across her eyes.
She stammered, "It's … It's just that after it received news about Gu Xiangwen seven years ago, it somehow broke down. I gave it to the foundation in the hope that they could find a skilled craftsman to fix it. "
Gu Nianzhi facepalmed speechlessly. After a while, she said, "Do you think the quantum communicator is a clock? Find a skilled craftsman to repair it … Why don't you ask Lu Ban to build an aircraft carrier out of wood? Do ordinary skilled craftsmen know what a quantum communicator is? "
Gu Yanran bit her lip and kept her head down. "I don't know. They have a lot of capable people anyway."
Gu Nianzhi chuckled.
It was clearly those people who stole and snatched other people's things, and now it was they who had "a lot of capable people".
Indeed, there were a lot of "capable people" who were thick-skinned and ruthless.
Huo Shaoheng could tell that Gu Yanran was still not telling the truth. He remained calm and changed the topic. "What about the staff on the submarine? Why didn't I see any of them? "
This question was easy to answer.
Gu Yanran secretly sighed in her heart and quickly said, "Don't you have that submarine? If you go up and take a look yourself, you'll know that the design of the submarine is very advanced and exquisite. Back then, my father … Gu Xiangwen designed a very automated submarine control system. That way, only two people could operate the entire submarine, so there were no other staff. "
Gu Nianzhi's thoughts couldn't help but drift to the holographic virtual figure, and she understood.
Gu Yanran actually didn't know much about submarines and computers.
What she said was only relaying Gu Xiangwen's original intention to design the submarine.
However, Gu Nianzhi was different. Her computer skills were very high.
As soon as she heard Gu Xiangwen's design concept, she immediately understood.
The so-called "highly automated submarine control system" actually relied mainly on AI, or artificial intelligence, to achieve it.
The operating system on the submarine should be operated by artificial intelligence according to a set program.
In other words, there were no other staff on the submarine from beginning to end, only Gu Xiangwen and his wife.
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
She really didn't want anyone else to die because of the Gu family.
"Do you believe me? Can you let me out now? "
Gu Yanran said everything she could. Seeing that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng's expressions were relaxed, she quickly asked anxiously, "I've recovered all your assets, and I haven't done anything evil. I don't know what that foundation is like either. I'm just doing charity. Besides, I'm not a Huaxia citizen to begin with. You're breaking international law by locking me up here! "
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. "Gu Yanran, I advise you to be mute if you don't know how to speak. Do you know what international law is? You're a despicable person who takes over other people's property, and you still want to talk about international law? You really don't know your place. "
Gu Yanran felt as if someone had smashed her face with a hammer.
Her expression suddenly changed, and she giggled. Pointing at Gu Nianzhi, she said, "A dove taking over a magpie's nest? Hahahaha, well said! I want to see what will happen to you! Go ahead and jump! The higher you climb, the harder you fall! "
Gu Nianzhi couldn't be bothered with her curses. She brushed her hair impatiently and said, "Alright, wait for us to leave before you curse me. I want to ask the third question now … "
"I'm sorry, I don't want to say anything. If you still want to force me, then I can only continue making up stories. "
Huo Shaoheng stood beside Gu Nianzhi without saying a word. He didn't care about her at all, and he didn't mention letting her go.
Gu Yanran finally understood that she had been tricked by Huo Shaoheng just now. She was angry and anxious, and she leaned back in her chair like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. She ignored Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi changed the angle to ask questions again, but Gu Yanran simply closed her eyes.
The corner of her mouth had a hint of disdain, and it made Gu Nianzhi want to hit her.
There would be no results if she continued asking.
Huo Shaoheng coughed lightly.
He actually had a way to force Gu Yanran to continue talking, but just like Gu Yanran said, if she made up stories, would they believe it or not?
Because it was different from other situations, almost all the things Gu Yanran said about Gu Xiangwen were known to only her, and many of them couldn't be verified or were very troublesome to verify.
Therefore, he had been using the carrot of "confessing and leniency" to dangle Gu Yanran, hoping that one day she couldn't hold it in anymore and would confess everything.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't let Gu Yanran experience what it meant to be a living hell …
Huo Shaoheng took Gu Nianzhi's hand. "Alright, let's go. Don't bother with people like this, and don't come to places like this in the future. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded obediently. "Alright. Then let's go back. "
The two of them walked out in front of Gu Yanran, hand in hand.
Gu Yanran happened to look up and saw the back of the couple in front of her. She was jealous and envious, and her nose turned sour. She threw herself on the conference table and started sobbing.
She had nothing, she had nothing …
She used to have everything, and her wealth was comparable to that of a country. Not only was everyone in Barbados revered, but even in Europe and the United States, she was a guest of honor in many upper-class families …
But now?
She was overcome with sorrow and cried uncontrollably.
After crying so hard for a while, her tears had almost dried up.
She looked up from the conference table. There were no more tears, and a sinister smile hung on her lips.
However, although she had nothing, some people shouldn't be too happy too early!
At that moment, the door of the room was pushed open again, and a female prison guard said to her, "Number 38, return to the cell."
Gu Yanran stood up, and a trace of forbearance and resentment flashed in her eyes.
…
Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng back to his official residence from the secret base where Gu Yanran was being held.
She didn't get the information she wanted to ask, and her mood was ruined by Gu Yanran.
She returned to her room and lay on the sofa gloomily, staring at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze.
It was early summer, and outside the window, there was a huge phoenix tree. The pavilion was like a canopy, and it was in full swing.
She tilted her head to look at it for a while and saw that there seemed to be a small bird's nest near the top of the tree. Her heart skipped a beat, and she got up from the sofa, walked to the window, opened the floor-to-ceiling window, and walked out.
There was a small balcony outside her room.
The beautiful purple and red Phoenix Wood stretched out its branches, covering half of the balcony.
Gu Nianzhi gently caressed the phoenix tree's brilliant flowers. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the dense canopy that was like a red cloud.
The phoenix tree should be a tree that grew in the tropics. The phoenix tree in the imperial capital was already an improved species.
She looked at the small palm in the middle of the phoenix tree. It was like a palm, and she couldn't help climbing up the balcony railing. She grabbed the branch and climbed up.
…
Huo Shaoheng took care of business in his study for a while and only came out when it was lunchtime.
Although he was on vacation, a person in his position couldn't really ignore his work for 30 days.
Therefore, he would check his email whenever he had time.
He pushed open Gu Nianzhi's door, but saw that there was no one in the room. The floor-to-ceiling window was open, and the gauze-like curtains hung on one side. The breeze blew gently, and the white gauze swayed gently in the wind.
There was a thin blanket on the sofa, as if someone had slept there just now.
Huo Shaoheng's eyebrows twitched involuntarily.
He felt inexplicably nervous.
"Nianzhi?" He called out, but no one answered him.
He quickly walked around Gu Nianzhi's suite.
He looked through the bedroom, bathroom, study, and even her storage room and cloakroom, but there was no sign of her.
Although he knew that nothing could have happened to Gu Nianzhi at the headquarters of the special operations forces, Huo Shaoheng still frowned.
He thought of the half-open floor-to-ceiling window in the living room and quickly went out of the bedroom to the living room. He walked past the floor-to-ceiling window and stood on the balcony. He called out again, "… Nianzhi?"
A chuckle came from the middle of the enchanting red phoenix tree in front of him.
Huo Shaoheng took a closer look. It turned out that Gu Nianzhi was dressed in white and hugging her knees. She was sitting on a branch in the middle of the fiery red phoenix tree and smiling mischievously at him.
