He Zhichu had heard his subordinates report that Wen Shouyi's mother had sent flowers to Gu Nianzhi's room, but Gu Nianzhi had rejected her. Then, she had ordered someone to gag her and lock her up. He Zhichu hadn't taken it to heart at the time.
Anyway, if Gu Nianzhi was unhappy, then so be it. He had almost forgotten that there was someone locked up in the storage room on the second floor.
But now that he thought about it, something didn't seem right.
"… Then she didn't ask to enter your room just now to exchange flowers for your room, did she?" He Zhichu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Of course not. I already said that no one can go in, but she still wanted to go in. Even a fool would know that she had ulterior motives." Gu Nianzhi smiled and raised her fist. "That's why I threw my iron fist at her."
He Zhichu frowned.
He still remembered that when he first brought Gu Nianzhi back, he had deliberately pushed Gu Nianzhi in in a wheelchair to give those people a chance to spread the news.
If he remembered correctly, the person who had sent the photo of Gu Nianzhi in a wheelchair to Qin Yaoguang and the others should have been Wen Shouyi's father.
Her parents were both gardeners for the He family and had worked for the He family for decades.
All these years, they had been well-behaved and honest. Other than giving birth to a particularly smart daughter, they had never had much of a presence among the He family's servants.
But this seemingly honest gardener couple was actually the main suspect in stealing Gu Nianzhi eight years ago?!
He Zhichu clenched his fists so hard that the joints of his fingers cracked. "I think they're tired of living!"
Gu Nianzhi quickly tugged at his sleeve and said anxiously, "Young Master He, what do you want to do?"
He Zhichu pulled out his pistol and said coldly, "Of course I'm going to torture them and then shoot them!"
"Hey! Don't be so simple and crude! " Gu Nianzhi blinked. "You'll give yourself away if you do this. What if they accuse you instead?"
He Zhichu sneered. "Who would dare to do that in my territory?!"
His domineering aura blinded Gu Nianzhi's eyes.
She clutched her chest, and her other hand was still tugging at He Zhichu's sleeve. She pursed her lips and smiled. "Young Master He, calm down. When you were on our side, you were wise and resourceful. Why do you only know how to fight and kill when you're back?"
He Zhichu grabbed her hand and said with a cold expression, "In the face of absolute power, there's no need to play any tricks."
All he needed to do was crush them with force.
Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu and sighed. She thought to herself that if she had grown up with He Zhichu here, she would probably think that what he was doing was normal.
However, she had grown up with Huo Shaoheng in the other world.
Although Huo Shaoheng was also a person with absolute power and a privileged position in the other world, he never took this privilege for granted, nor did he put himself above the law and order.
He was a protector of order, not an overseer of it.
Under his tutelage, Gu Nianzhi also abided by the rules of the game.
She stood up from the sofa and said with a faint smile, "Young Master He, leave this matter to me, okay? They kidnapped me back then, and now I'm back to sue these human traffickers. "
He Zhichu was stunned. "You want to sue them? You want to make a big deal out of this? "
"Of course I want to make a big deal out of it." Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, and her big bright eyes flashed with the light of watching a show. "Otherwise, how can we live up to their scheming? — Against such people, if you killed them quietly, it would be too easy for them. And it'll leave you and your father with trouble in the future. "
He Zhichu also knew that if they executed the gardener couple in private, it would indeed bring him and his father some trouble.
But in his opinion, this trouble was worth it.
He said nonchalantly, "I'll give them a chance to be tried, but it'll be a secret trial. I'll let them die knowing why."
"Young Master He, do you think they're the masterminds behind this?" Gu Nianzhi disagreed. "I still need them to dig out the people behind them."
"I said that I'll try them first. I'll dig out everything they know before executing them. Don't worry, none of the masterminds behind this will escape." He Zhichu still wanted to resolve this matter in private.
Firstly, the He family had such a traitor. If they didn't deal with him ruthlessly, others would question the He family's ability to execute.
Secondly, it was to intimidate the other servants of the He family. If they had second thoughts, this would be their fate.
Gu Nianzhi was silent for a long time. She sat back in her wheelchair and said angrily, "Fine, do whatever you want. Send me back. I can't stay here anymore."
He Zhichu saw that she was angry, so he quickly walked over and pulled her up from the wheelchair. He immediately compromised and said, "Look at your temper. I can only go along with you. Alright, do whatever you want. I won't get involved. "
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. "But I still need a few favors from you."
"Fine, fine, fine. Do whatever you want. These two are going to be arrested anyway. "He Zhichu took out his phone and began to give orders.
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "Keep an eye on them in secret first. Don't let them escape. I'll draft the legal documents now. I'll go to your police department tomorrow morning to report them and ask for their arrest. "
Eight years ago, Gu Nianzhi was only 12 years old and a minor.
Kidnapping a minor was a felony in the Huaxia Empire, and it was the same crime as buying and selling.
Therefore, there were very few kidnappings here, which had a lot to do with the strict legislation in this area.
He Zhichu had no choice but to say, "I'll go with you tomorrow. I'll prepare the evidence."
Gu Nianzhi pointed at the video surveillance. "These are all circumstantial evidence. I'm both the victim and the most direct witness. I can completely prove that they committed a crime and bring them to justice."
Although she couldn't remember what had happened at that time, the video recording gave her a chance to "reconstruct her memory".
He Zhichu went to prepare the evidence, but Gu Nianzhi was thinking about why she didn't cry or scream.
After He Zhichu left, Gu Nianzhi quickly contacted Lu Jin again.
"Dad, do you know how Qin Yaoguang stole me from the He family eight years ago?" Gu Nianzhi whispered to Lu Jin for help.
Lu Jin thought about it for a moment and said, "When I chased after them, they had already brought you out and were about to arrange for you to get on the plane. I took you away from the airport. "
In other words, the man and child who had been seen by passers-by getting into the car at the intersection in front of the He family's house that night were all fake substitutes.
At that time, Gu Nianzhi was actually still in the He family's living room and hadn't left.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "Then the other party is really scheming. Even if you didn't intercept and take me away, they would still have blamed this on you. Fortunately, you didn't bear this undeserved reputation for nothing … "
Lu Jin, or Gu Xiangwen's appearance, had instead confirmed the other party's series of "framing".
This was probably the reason why the He family hadn't found anyone else interfering in the investigation.
Because Gu Xiangwen had really appeared and taken Gu Nianzhi away!
Who would have the time to go back and watch the surveillance footage again?!
This time, Gu Nianzhi looked at the surveillance footage again and again. It was actually because she had "cheated", and Lu Jin had personally helped her cheat.
Gu Nianzhi talked about the clues she had found in the surveillance footage and said in puzzlement, "… But I didn't cry or scream. I just stood in the middle of the gardener couple like a fool. I was too obedient! This isn't scientific. It's completely impossible. "
Lu Jin said without hesitation, "Then they must have gotten the Triazolam, which I had modified in Gu Qin's biological laboratory, from Qin Yaoguang. It's also called Triazolam."
"Triazolam is a benzodiazepine-type hypnotic drug. After my modification, the time it takes to take effect has been reduced from 15 minutes to 0.1 seconds."
"It was originally a light blue pill, but it can also be dissolved in water and covered in the mouth and nose. As long as you come into contact with it for 0.1 seconds, it can produce a sedative and hypnotic effect. It can also cause a short period of memory loss."
Gu Nianzhi's expression was very ugly. She immediately said, "Then it looks like they covered my face with this thing within seven seconds of turning off the lights …"
However, this couple's hands and feet were really fast. She didn't know how long they had been practicing.
One person covered her mouth and nose and draped a cloak over her body.
One of them took off her pink diamond crown and put a mask over her face.
Then, he quickly pulled her to stand diagonally behind He Zhichu.
She was only two steps away from him.
..
He Zhichu didn't sleep that night. He had been watching the video.
She had been so close to him when his heart had been torn apart and his life had been worse than death.
This made him even more sorrowful and bitter.
This was really the best portrayal of being so close, yet worlds apart.
He thought that the furthest distance between her and him wasn't that he loved her and she couldn't respond, but that she was standing behind him and he had lost her.
