"Qin Zhiyuan? His relationship with Young Master He is stronger than Qin Zhining's. "Qin Yaoguang's heart skipped a beat." I think we can try. "
Wen Shouyi received Qin Yaoguang's permission and immediately found someone to inform Qin Zhining's brother, Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhining's matter was actually a secret in the military. It wasn't a case that could be publicly tried and executed.
From the mission he accepted to the method he used to carry out the mission and the final outcome of the mission, none of it could be publicly revealed to the public.
Even his family probably wouldn't know about this. In the end, they would only receive news that he had died during the mission because he had made some kind of mistake.
If there was no mistake, he would receive the title of "martyr". His family would also receive the treatment of a martyr's family and receive a generous pension.
But if he made a mistake, the family wouldn't get anything.
This was a tacit understanding.
However, Qin Zhining's identity was rather special. He was the son of He Chengjian's wife, Qin Suwen's brother. He was He Zhichu's cousin and had been close since they were young.
Therefore, Wen Shouyi took advantage of this loophole and deliberately leaked it to someone who was familiar with Qin Zhining. That person was indeed frightened and immediately went to inform Qin Zhining's brother, Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan was shocked when he received the call and immediately called He Zhichu.
"Young Master He, what's going on? Why was my brother, Qin Zhining, asked to be shot? What happened? "Qin Zhiyuan asked anxiously over the phone.
He Zhichu had been staying at the C City West City base for more than a month. He had a large number of troops and was closely monitoring the apartment complex where Gu Nianzhi lived.
He had been the most wary of Qin Yaoguang, but Qin Yaoguang was quickly distracted by the incident at the Qin Corporation's private hospital. She couldn't interfere anymore, so it relieved him a lot of pressure.
He Zhichu didn't respond for a long time after receiving Qin Zhiyuan's call.
Qin Zhiyuan's heart kept sinking. "Young Master He, say something? Are you serious? Did my brother really do something wrong? He's always been loyal to uncle. How could this happen? "
He Zhichu thought of Gu Nianzhi, who had stopped breathing in his arms that night, and his heart ached. He closed his eyes and said coldly, "… If you do something wrong, you have to be punished. He's a soldier, and his standards are different from ordinary people. "
Qin Zhiyuan's eyes reddened. "… My brother doesn't even have a girlfriend. He's not married, and he doesn't have children …"
"Cousin, I'm sorry for your loss." He Zhichu hung up.
His expression was indifferent to the extreme, and his shimmering peach blossom eyes were silent.
However, Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to give up just like that. After thinking about it, he took a car to the He family overnight and asked to see He Chengjian.
"Uncle-in-law, I just want to ask, is my younger brother's mistake really unforgivable?" Qin Zhiyuan was worried the entire way and his face was very haggard. He looked at He Chengjian as if he was asking for help and was in extreme despair. "I just want to know, what else can I do to save my brother's life? As long as we don't shoot him, we can let him stay in jail for the rest of his life! "
He Chengjian raised his head from behind his desk, took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and rubbed the Glabella acupoint between his eyebrows. He also said regretfully, "This matter was actually a misunderstanding, but it resulted in an irreversible outcome. Now, it's the victim's family that's complaining and asking for him to be shot. I can't do anything about it. "
"Huh? Victim?! "Qin Zhiyuan's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down to He Chengjian." He … he killed someone?! Didn't you say he was on a mission?! "
"I can't tell you what mission he was on." He Chengjian sighed and shook his head. "But I can tell you that he made a big mistake on a mission and accidentally killed an innocent person. This person's family won't let him go. "
Qin Zhiyuan's hands and feet were cold. He stared blankly at He Chengjian for a while, and his voice changed. "Then can you … let me see the family? I can … I can make compensation, no matter what kind of compensation it is. "
According to their law, even in a murder case, if the family understood and made compensation, the murderer could not be sentenced to death.
Moreover, Qin Zhining didn't murder on purpose, but accidentally killed during a mission.
He Chengjian said regretfully, "Unfortunately, the family won't accept financial compensation because she doesn't lack money."
"But maybe she needs compensation in other ways? As long as she mentions it, I can think of a way. " Qin Zhiyuan wiped away his tears. "I only have this one brother. My parents died when I was young. It was my aunt who found us and raised us. I can't watch my brother lose his life because of a mistake."
He Chengjian's wife, Qin Suwen, was Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhining's aunt.
He Chengjian's heart immediately softened when he heard Qin Zhiyuan mention his wife. He nodded. "Okay then, go find Qin Yaoguang. If she doesn't pursue the matter, your brother won't have to be shot. You still know Qin Yaoguang, right? "
Qin Zhiyuan was stunned. "Qin Yaoguang?! Your stepwife, Qin Yaoguang?! What does this have to do with her?! "
"Because the person your brother accidentally killed was her daughter, Gu Nianzhi." He Chengjian lowered his head and said expressionlessly, "Qin Yaoguang wants to avenge her daughter and your brother to pay with his life."
Qin Zhiyuan's heart sank. "Gu Nianzhi?! She … Hasn't she been missing for many years?! "
"Yes, she just found her recently, so Qin Yaoguang is very angry. Do you understand? To you, it's a brother. To her, it's a daughter. "He Chengjian folded his hands on the desk and looked up at Qin Zhiyuan." Do you still want to try? "
"… Try." Qin Zhiyuan gritted his teeth. He wouldn't be satisfied if he didn't try at least once.
..
Early the next morning, it was already Christmas Eve.
Qin Zhiyuan came to the Qin family's private hospital and asked to see Qin Yaoguang.
Qin Yaoguang was waiting for him. When she heard that he was asking to see her, she immediately asked someone to bring him in.
"Dean Qin." Qin Zhiyuan used to call her Auntie Qin, but ever since Qin Yaoguang moved out of the He family's mansion, Qin Zhiyuan only called her "Dean Qin".
"Zhiyuan, why are you looking for me?" Qin Yaoguang was wearing a white coat and had just come out of the laboratory. She said straightforwardly, "I still have something to do. I only have five minutes. Make it short."
Qin Zhiyuan quickly said, "Sorry to disturb you. I want to ask about my brother, Qin Zhining. I'm very sorry for the pain and trouble he caused you …"
"You're here to plead for your brother?!" Qin Yaoguang's expression darkened. "A life for a life! What reason do you have to plead for a murderer?! "
"… But …" Qin Zhiyuan's lips parted. "He didn't do it on purpose. It was an accident. I know you've suffered an immeasurable loss, and I know you don't lack money, but I still hope to be able to compensate you. As long as I can do it, I'll do my best! "
However, Qin Yaoguang still objected and refused to relent.
Qin Zhiyuan begged until he knelt down, but her face was still cold and furious. She even planned to flick her sleeves and leave.
At this moment, Wen Shouyi pushed the door open and came in. When she saw Qin Zhiyuan kneeling on the ground, she quickly went forward to help him up and said in surprise, "Brother Xiaoyuan, what are you doing?"
Qin Zhiyuan choked with sobs as he pulled her arm. "Shouyi, can you help me persuade Dean Qin? Zhining has a soft spot for you. He's in prison now. Can you help him?! "
"Huh? What happened to Brother Little Ning? " Wen Shouyi looked confused. She turned to look at Qin Yaoguang. "Auntie Qin, what's going on?"
Qin Yaoguang turned her head away uncomfortably and said coldly, "Shouyi, this has nothing to do with you. Don't worry about it."
Qin Zhiyuan was slightly stunned. "Shouyi, you don't know?"
"What don't I know?" Wen Shouyi was anxious, and the expression on her face was sincere. "Auntie Qin, what are you talking about? What happened to Brother Little Ning?! "
"I didn't want Shouyi to know, but Qin Zhining killed my daughter, and I couldn't even find her body. I really can't take this lying down! Qin Zhining must pay for my daughter's death! "
Qin Yaoguang spoke with certainty and refused to relent.
Wen Shouyi's eyes widened in surprise, as if it was the first time she had heard this news. "What?! Brother Little Ning killed Nianzhi by mistake?! Brother Little Ning is going to be shot?! But he killed by mistake! I'm a lawyer, I know that manslaughter doesn't require the death penalty! "
"I don't care! My daughter doesn't even have a corpse left. If I don't make Qin Zhining pay with his life, I won't be able to rest in peace! "Qin Yaoguang pretended to be very angry and glared at Wen Shouyi.
Wen Shouyi stood in front of Qin Zhiyuan and argued with Qin Yaoguang. "Auntie Qin, don't be agitated. Can we discuss this matter again? Let's not talk about you for Nianzhi's sake. Can you give Brother Little Ning a chance for my sake?! "
Although Qin Zhiyuan felt bad, he was also very touched to see Wen Shouyi go against Qin Yaoguang for Qin Zhining.
He originally didn't think much of Wen Shouyi and didn't think highly of his brother's feelings for her.
He didn't expect Wen Shouyi to stand up for him at the last minute.
Qin Zhiyuan's impression of her changed greatly when he suddenly encountered Wen Shouyi's enthusiasm and help after asking for help everywhere.
Wen Shouyi saw that the time was right, so she gave Qin Yaoguang a look.
Qin Yaoguang understood and walked into the small resting room inside. She slammed the door shut.
Wen Shouyi turned around and said to Qin Zhiyuan, "Brother Little Yuan, don't worry. I'll go persuade Auntie Qin again. Auntie Qin is hot-tempered and straightforward, but she's actually quite soft-hearted. She knew that something had happened to Nianzhi, so she was anxious. You know, Nianzhi has been missing for several years. It wasn't easy for Young Master He to find her. It's reasonable for her to be nervous. "
Although Qin Zhiyuan didn't know about the existence of a parallel space, he knew that He Zhichu had gone out to look for Gu Nianzhi in the past few years.
He quickly nodded. "Thank you, Shouyi. I'll wait for your news. "
Wen Shouyi sent Qin Zhiyuan off and went to the resting room to chat with Qin Yaoguang for a while.
The two of them had already agreed to wait for Qin Zhiyuan to come.
"… I really didn't expect Young Master He to be so ruthless. For that damn girl, he could even give up on his cousin who grew up with him." Qin Yaoguang was both amused and emotional. "The men of the He family are all like this …"
Wen Shouyi's forehead twitched when she heard this. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said gently, "Auntie Qin, Young Master He was handling things impartially. If Qin Zhining hadn't taken the blame, would he have gone against his father? "
"Haha …" Qin Yaoguang pursed her lips and said snappily, "It's actually very simple. As long as he hands over Nianzhi's body, I won't pursue Qin Zhining's fault."
Wen Shouyi nodded. "I'll go tell Qin Zhiyuan now. He'll definitely ask Young Master He for help."
"Yes, a dead person can be exchanged for Qin Zhining's life. With Qin Zhiyuan's plea, Young Master He probably won't refuse." Qin Yaoguang calmly analyzed and turned on the computer. "I also have to prepare a secret laboratory immediately. After this, I won't be out for a long time to care about anything else. "
"Huh? Auntie Qin, how can you not come out? "Wen Shouyi looked at Qin Yaoguang in shock." You're the director of such a big hospital! "
Qin Yaoguang turned to look at her and touched her round face. She smiled and said, "It's fine. I plan to make you the executive vice director of the Qin family's private hospital. When I'm not around, you'll have full authority to take my position."
"Huh?! Really?! " Wen Shouyi was surprised and delighted. "Auntie Qin has nurtured me so much. I really … really … won't be able to repay your kindness even if I die!"
Qin Yaoguang could be said to be the real benefactor in Wen Shouyi's life.
Qin Yaoguang was very happy to see her so happy. She tapped her forehead with her finger. "Silly child, you're so capable and a lawyer. It's a waste of your talent to let you manage the hospital. Actually, you should go to the Senate and be the speaker. "
"Auntie Qin, you think too highly of me." Wen Shouyi stuck out her tongue. In front of Qin Yaoguang, she was as likable as a cute little girl.
"I believe in my own judgment." Qin Yaoguang was very excited. When she thought about how she was about to get Gu Nianzhi's body for her experiment that had been interrupted for more than ten years, her heart surged.
It had been more than ten years since she had published a top-notch academic article on biological genetics.
"More than twenty years ago, our 'Gu Qin' laboratory published dozens of important academic articles almost every year. Cell, Science, and Nature practically begged our laboratory to publish them." Qin Yaoguang recalled the grand occasion of the past. Her face was flushed, and she looked several years younger.
"Huh? That impressive? " Wen Shouyi hadn't been born at that time, so she didn't know anything about that grand occasion. However, she also said yearningly, "That's a pity! If Nianzhi hadn't died, wouldn't you have been able to do more experiments?! "
"… You can't say that." Qin Yaoguang chuckled and said mockingly, "If she hadn't died, how could I have used her as an experiment again? Wouldn't Young Master He eat me raw? "
Wen Shouyi was stumped for a moment. She felt uncomfortable, but she didn't continue the topic. "Then let's do it this way. I'll go find Qin Zhiyuan and ask him to ask Young Master He for Gu Nianzhi's body."
"Okay, just say that I just want to give her a funeral."
Qin Yaoguang began to draft the equipment, drugs, and manpower needed for the newly established laboratory.
Wen Shouyi came to Qin Zhiyuan's house and relayed Qin Yaoguang's request. She said regretfully, "Brother Little Yuan, I can only help you and Brother Little Ning up to here. I persuaded Auntie Qin for a long time before she reluctantly agreed. As long as Nianzhi's body was given to her and she held a funeral for her, she wouldn't pursue Brother Little Ning's responsibility anymore. "
"Huh?! Really?! Dean Qin really only wants Nianzhi's body?! " Qin Zhiyuan didn't expect Qin Yaoguang to only have such a request. He couldn't help but have a much better impression of her. He could even empathize with her pain and difficulty as a mother. "It's all my brother's fault. It's all my brother's fault. I'll help her find Nianzhi's body right now!"
"Okay, you can go to the prison and ask Brother Little Ning where Nianzhi's body is."
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan immediately asked He Chengjian for help. He wanted to visit Qin Zhining in the military prison. At the same time, he said that Qin Yaoguang had already softened. As long as Gu Nianzhi's body was given to her for a funeral, she wouldn't pursue the matter any further.
He Chengjian was stunned for a moment, and his eyes narrowed. "She really asked for that?!"
"Yes, Shouyi helped Little Ning plead." Qin Zhiyuan had already planned to agree to Qin Zhining's marriage to Wen Shouyi when he was released.
He Chengjian's expression turned cold. "Go. It's good to see Qin Zhining."
Qin Zhiyuan didn't care about He Chengjian's expression at all. He packed his things and rushed to the military prison to see Qin Zhining.
When Qin Zhining heard that he wouldn't have to be shot, he let out a long sigh and leaned back in his chair. He smiled bitterly and said, "… I don't know where Nianzhi's body is, but I know that Young Master He took her away in the end."
Qin Zhiyuan's heart sank when he thought of He Zhichu's attitude. However, at this point, even if he had to kowtow to He Zhichu, he had to beg him.
Gu Nianzhi was already dead. Was he going to watch Qin Zhining die?
He didn't mean to kill her. It was just an accident!
Therefore, after going around in circles, Qin Zhiyuan arrived at He Zhichu's official residence in the afternoon.
"Young Master He, Dean Qin has already agreed. As long as we give her Nianzhi's body, she won't pursue Zhining's responsibility." Qin Zhiyuan looked at He Zhichu hopefully. "Young Master He, I know this is Zhining's fault. If you want to hit or scold him, you can hit or scold him when he comes out! But he doesn't deserve to die. Even if he's not my brother, I still think so! "
Of course, He Zhichu knew that Qin Zhining didn't deserve to die. Moreover, Qin Yaoguang was the one who had requested for Qin Zhining to be shot. He Zhichu just hadn't interfered.
However, when he heard that Qin Yaoguang's request was for them to hand over Gu Nianzhi's body, He Zhichu curled his lips and revealed a mocking smile. "… Is this her so-called maternal love? How cheap. As long as they hand over the body, they can spare the life of the person who killed her daughter … Haha … I don't care if you believe it or not, I don't believe it. "
Qin Zhiyuan: "…"
He also felt that this request was too easy, but even if he didn't believe it, he had to believe it, because his only goal was to save his brother from the fate of being shot.
"Young Master He, I'm begging you …" Qin Zhiyuan had no choice. Finally, his knees went weak and he knelt down to He Zhichu.
He lay at He Zhichu's feet, his heart incomparably sad. "Young Master He, please give Zhining a way out for the sake of us being cousins!"
He Zhichu looked at Qin Zhiyuan, who was kneeling at his feet, and sighed.
This was what biological brothers should be like.
Something had happened to his younger brother, and his older brother had tried his best to save him at all costs.
But what about Nianzhi?
She had almost lost her life. As her fiancé, he couldn't even redress her grievances.
If he had known that he couldn't do anything, he might as well have let go earlier. She wouldn't have suffered this undeserved calamity.
He thought about the call he had just received from Gu Nianzhi. She had thanked him with a smile on the phone and had even said that she was already recovering. He Zhichu closed his eyes. He felt his eyes were dry and astringent. He was in so much pain and despair that he couldn't even shed tears.
He clenched his fists and coldly rejected Qin Zhiyuan. "No! Who does Qin Yaoguang think she is?! She can shoot whoever she wants to be shot, and she can release whoever she wants to be released?! She has no right to interfere in this matter from the beginning to the end! "
