Bai Jinyi's words were really touching on a sore spot.
Bai Yueran felt slightly embarrassed and retracted her hand to place it on the armrest beside her. She said calmly, "Auntie, you said you have important clues to report? I'm on a tight schedule. I only have 40 minutes left. "
It had taken her 20 minutes to drive over, so she only had an hour's free time. Bai Jinyi was dragging her feet, so it would be over quickly.
Bai Jinyi composed herself and had no choice but to stop the awkward small talk. She lowered her voice nervously, "… Yueran, I don't know if this information will help me reduce my sentence, but I know that Huo Shaoheng is anxiously looking for this information."
Bai Yueran raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What information? How do you know that Huo Shao is looking for this information? "
Gu Nianzhi was missing, and Huo Shaoheng was looking for her all over the world. Did Bai Jinyi know about her?
That couldn't be …
If that was the case, then this prison also needed to be properly investigated.
However, Bai Jinyi quickly dispelled her doubts, "… Huo Shaoheng just came to see me specifically to ask about this."
"He came to see you specifically?" Bai Yueran's brows furrowed even more. Could it really be news related to Gu Nianzhi?
She looked at Bai Jinyi suspiciously, "But how did you know?"
As a felon, Bai Jinyi had been locked up for a year, and Gu Nianzhi's disappearance had only happened half a month ago. How did Bai Jinyi know about this?
Of course, Bai Jinyi didn't know that Gu Nianzhi was missing. She quickly said, "It's about seven years ago, when I went to C City to monitor the magnetic field!"
"Seven years ago?" Bai Yueran's brows furrowed slightly as she remembered, "Was it that time to monitor the magnetic field data, when a car suddenly broke into, and then the car exploded?"
"Yes, yes!" Bai Jinyi quickly nodded and leaned forward, almost to Bai Yueran's ear. She frowned and complained, "It was that time, they said they were going to give me a big gift, but in the end, they only sent a little orphan girl that no one wanted. I didn't want to be a free babysitter, so I didn't say anything … "
And what made Bai Jinyi even more displeased was that this little orphan girl that no one wanted had actually sent her to prison six years later!
She gritted her teeth in hatred just thinking about it.
So big gift my ass!
It was like a talisman sent to hasten his death!
If she hadn't been greedy for shortcuts and was in a hurry to get results, she wouldn't have been lured by others and spent so much effort to monitor the magnetic field. In the end, she was fooled!
Bai Jinyi grumbled to express her deep-seated hatred for Gu Nianzhi.
"What?!" Bai Yueran vaguely felt that something was amiss. "… Can you say that again? What do you mean by a big present? Didn't you say that you suddenly observed a special magnetic field? "
Bai Jinyi ran her fingers through her hair in embarrassment, her wrinkled face flushed with embarrassment.
She stammered, "… That's not important. What's important is that my phone, no, I should say Guanyuan's phone, received a call seven years ago."
"That's not important?" Bai Yueran's frown deepened. "How can that not be important …"
However, she hesitated.
Gu Nianzhi's case was a secret mission for the Special Operations Forces, and there were many things that needed to be kept secret. Bai Jinyi did not have the appropriate security clearance, so she did not know many things.
For example, the airplane engine blueprint in Gu Nianzhi's backpack was 50 years more advanced than the world's most advanced engine.
Also, Gu Nianzhi had suddenly been kidnapped and disappeared.
Thinking about it carefully, her disappearance was as sudden as her arrival.
Could there be a connection between the two?
Bai Yueran quietly turned on the record button on her phone and continued Bai Jinyi's words. "Auntie, you said that Huo Shao's uncle, Colonel Huo Guanyuan's phone, received a call seven years ago? I remember that last time … you didn't say anything? And there shouldn't be any call records on the phone, right? "
"No." Bai Jinyi shook her head and continued to speak in Bai Yueran's ear. "The only thing they could find was the text message that was saved on the phone 11 years ago. This call didn't leave any trace on the phone after it was made. As long as I don't say anything, Huo Shaoheng can't know anything. "
A year ago, Bai Yueran had listened to Bai Jinyi's case from beginning to end.
She remembered that Bai Jinyi had killed Luo Xinxue to take this phone.
If she guessed correctly, this phone was probably "not found" by the phone operator.
So as long as Bai Jinyi didn't say anything, Huo Shaoheng really couldn't know anything about it.
Bai Yueran intuitively felt that this information would be very helpful to Huo Shaoheng in his search for Gu Nianzhi.
Therefore, she deliberately led Bai Jinyi to say the contents of the call.
Bai Yueran discreetly moved the phone very close to Bai Jinyi. She smiled at Bai Jinyi, reassuring her not to be nervous. Then she asked, "Really? Is this what you want to use to reduce your sentence? But it also depends on what the information is. If it's not a particularly important clue, it's not easy to get a reduction in sentence. "
Bai Jinyi was a little anxious, but still remembered to keep her voice very low. "Then can you help me plead again? I can tell you about that phone call! "
Because she knew that there were surveillance cameras in this house, she didn't want to be recorded by the surveillance cameras, so she spoke very softly and whispered into Bai Yueran's ear. However, she didn't expect that Bai Yueran was already recording them.
Bai Jinyi completely trusted her niece, Bai Yueran, and she could only trust her.
As a prisoner on death row with a reprieve, she actually had no bargaining chips in her hands.
If Huo Shaoheng hadn't suddenly asked her if she had hidden any information seven years ago, she would have completely forgotten about this humiliating phone call.
Actually, until now, she was just gambling on her psychological state.
It would be good if it succeeded, but if it didn't, could it be worse?
Anyway, she had already been sentenced to death. After a year in prison, Bai Jinyi had already resigned herself to her fate.
It was Huo Shaoheng's sudden visit that reignited her hope of survival.
Bai Yueran didn't bat an eyelid and said patiently, "Okay, can you tell me in detail what that phone call was about? Who called? What about the phone number? Do you still remember? "
Bai Jinyi sighed. "I don't know who called me. The phone number was also very strange. I tried to check it before, but it was an invalid number."
Bai Yueran: "…"
The caller was really cautious.
Bai Yueran could only ask again, "Then what was the content of the call?"
Bai Jinyi's voice became even softer. "… The person on the phone was a man. I've never heard his voice before. He seemed to be very anxious and only called for less than a minute. He spoke very quickly and hurriedly told me the time and place. Then he said that if I brought Huo Shaoheng with me at this time and place, he would give me a big gift! — — In the end? Big gift my ass! He's a complete liar! "
Bai Yueran: "…"
"He even mentioned Major General Huo's name?" Bai Yueran was surprised. "That person knows Major General Huo?!"
"I'm 80% sure." Bai Jinyi was secretive and almost leaned on Bai Yueran's shoulder. "Do you think this clue is enough to reduce his sentence?"
"You don't know him. Why would he call you?" Bai Yueran continued to interrogate without batting an eyelid. "Is he someone who used to admire you?"
Her aunt had been very popular with men when she was young, but unfortunately, the person she loved didn't love her.
Bai Yueran's heart sank. She secretly wondered if the women of the Bai family were all like this.
She didn't like the person she liked.
The person she liked didn't like her.
Bai Shuang was the only exception, but when the person she liked also liked her, she was already dead.
Bai Jinyi blushed again when she heard Bai Yueran's words. She then shook her head and said embarrassedly, "Of course not, you're thinking too much."
Bai Yueran asked a few more questions in a different direction. Seeing that Bai Jinyi couldn't think of anything new, she pressed pause on the recording on her phone and said calmly, "I'll discuss it with the judge. Auntie, are there any other clues? "
"Huo Shaoheng should be looking for this clue." Bai Jinyi spread her hands. "If this clue doesn't work, I can only wait for death."
She looked at Bai Yueran pitifully.
Bai Yueran couldn't bear it.
However, she still looked away and said calmly, "Don't worry, I'll do my best."
She still planned to put in a good word for Bai Jinyi in front of Huo Shaoheng.
If this clue could help Huo Shaoheng find Gu Nianzhi, Bai Jinyi might really be able to reduce her sentence.
…
Bai Yueran left the prison and returned to the Special Operations Forces headquarters base. She immediately went to look for Huo Shaoheng.
However, Huo Shaoheng wasn't in the office.
"Little Ze, where's Huo Shao?" Bai Yueran walked to Zhao Liangze's desk and knocked with a smile.
Zhao Liangze looked up at her and said calmly, "Huo Shao went out. What's the matter, Director Bai?"
Bai Yueran sat down in front of him and asked carefully, "Little Ze, are you still angry at me? You've been angry for so long, is it time to get over it? "
"No, I'm not angry at you." Zhao Liangze looked away and looked at the computer screen in front of him. "If Director Bai doesn't have anything else to say, please wait outside. This is the office, not the reception room. "
Bai Yueran, "…"
She looked at Zhao Liangze quietly for a while.
Today, he was wearing a summer uniform. The tailored military uniform was perfectly fitted to his body, and even the sleeves were straightened into a straight line.
In the past, his fair and elegant face had been tanned because of the mission.
However, in just a few months after returning, he had regained his fair complexion.
However, there was also a hint of valiance to him. His temperament had completely settled down, and he was more masculine than before. He was more mature and reserved.
If Zhao Liangze had been like this two years ago, Bai Yueran knew that she would have immediately agreed to his pursuit.
But now, he had become a better him, and she had become the one pursuing him.
Bai Yueran was slightly dazed and said, "I have something important to report to Huo Shao. If you know where he is, please let me know. "
"Something important? What is it? "Zhao Liangze looked up at her." It's fine to tell you. Huo Shaoheng went to the hospital building to see the patient. "
Bai Yueran understood immediately. "Huo Shao went to visit Xiao Ye?"
Zhao Liangze didn't comment.
Bai Yueran stood up and whispered, "Then I'll go find Huo Shao. Take care."
When she reached the door, she turned back and said, "… Goodbye."
Zhao Liangze didn't even look up. He was focused on his work.
..
The hospital building at the headquarters of the Special Operations Forces wasn't far from the office building. Chen Lie worked there.
Xiao Ye was a key patient that Chen Lie had recently received.
By the time Bai Yueran hurried over, it was already evening.
It was early September. Although the lawn in front of the hospital building was still green, it was a little more bleak than autumn.
The afterglow of the setting sun was yellow, like a blanket covering the lawn.
Bai Yueran stood on the opposite side of the lawn. She looked up and saw Huo Shaoheng pushing a wheelchair and walking slowly on the tree-lined path beside the lawn.
Sitting in the wheelchair was a beautiful girl with short, neat hair and a white striped hospital gown.
It was Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye's limbs had been broken by the gangster with a gun to protect Gu Nianzhi. She had fainted in a pool of blood.
She had already woken up.
Chen Lie's medical skills were brilliant. He had healed her arms and legs.
However, the tendons in her left hand had been broken, and it hadn't healed very well. Her leg was also recovering, but the wound was too big, and she still couldn't walk.
At this moment, Xiao Ye was expressionless. She was nestled in the wheelchair and quietly looking ahead.
Bai Yueran stood opposite and watched for a while before sighing and walking over.
"Major General Huo." She nodded with a smile and said to Xiao Ye, "Xiao Ye, are you feeling better?"
Xiao Ye looked up at Bai Yueran. Her eyes were a little dazed as she nodded slowly. "… Okay."
Huo Shaoheng knew that Bai Yueran wouldn't come to the temple for no reason, so he looked at her inquisitively.
Bai Yueran immediately said, "Major General Huo, there's something I want to report to you."
Xiao Ye came back to her senses and quickly said, "Go ahead. I'll go back first."
She pressed the button on her wheelchair, turned around, and went back to the hospital building.
Huo Shaoheng was worried, so he called the nurse over to push Xiao Ye away.
Looking at Xiao Ye's back in the wheelchair, Bai Yueran's heart felt slightly stifled. She whispered, "Major General Huo, what will Xiao Ye do in the future? Will she change jobs? "
"I respect her decision." Huo Shaoheng didn't want to talk about Xiao Ye. He looked away and calmly looked at Bai Yueran. He asked, "Why is Director Bai looking for me?"
Bai Yueran looked around.
It was dusk, and the sunset glow gradually dissipated from the horizon. The tree-lined path was quiet, and there was no one coming or going.
She said in a low voice, "… I just went to see my aunt."
Huo Shaoheng's sharp eyes narrowed. "You just went to see Bai Jinyi? Why? "
Bai Yueran said frankly, "It was my aunt who looked for me. She said she wanted to redeem herself."
Huo Shaoheng smiled. "If you want to plead on behalf of your aunt, you can save some effort. I'm very busy. "With that, he walked away.
"Major General Huo!" Bai Yueran hurriedly called out to him from behind. "Aunt told me about the important clues, and I recorded them all. I didn't mean to plead on behalf of my aunt. I just wanted to let you hear it. It might be useful in finding Miss Gu. "
Huo Shaoheng immediately stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. "… You recorded what your aunt said?"
Bai Yueran nodded.
Huo Shaoheng immediately brought her back to his office.
Zhao Liangze was a little surprised to see Bai Yueran follow Huo Shaoheng in, but he didn't say anything. He helped them close the office door.
In Huo Shaoheng's single office, Bai Yueran sat in front of him. She turned on the recording on her phone and played it to Huo Shaoheng.
