Wen Shouyi's heart sank. How was that possible?
Evidence from eight years ago? How could there be evidence from eight years ago? Wasn't this far-fetched?
Wen Shouyi tried her best to maintain her composure and said calmly, "Me as the defendant? Did you make a mistake? "
"This is the court's decision. The plaintiff's lawyer submitted new evidence yesterday. After the court reviewed it, they felt that there were indeed doubts, so they allowed her request. "The court took out a receipt for Wen Shouyi to sign, indicating that she had received the court summons herself.
Wen Shouyi's face darkened as she signed her name on the receipt.
After the court left, Wen Shouyi called Gu Nianzhi directly.
Fortunately, Gu Nianzhi didn't block her.
"Gu Nianzhi, what do you want?" As soon as the call connected, Wen Shouyi questioned her rudely, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't use the He family's power?! Now you have to take back what you said! "
Gu Nianzhi held her phone and stood calmly in front of the window to feed the goldfish. She said calmly, "If I really used the He family's power, you and your parents wouldn't even have a chance to have a public trial. Don't you know how you do things here? "
Wen Shouyi choked, but she didn't agree with Gu Nianzhi. She sneered, "You're playing this game with me? If the court didn't know that it was related to the He family, do you think it would have been scheduled so quickly? The case in my hand was filed last year, and it hasn't been tried yet. It's been scheduled for three years! "
Gu Nianzhi threw away the fish food in her hand and said calmly, "My case was filed eight years ago. It's been eight years. Even if it was scheduled according to what you said, it should have waited. What right do you have to say that I used the He family's power to get the court to schedule it ahead of time? You always say that I'm bullying people. You say that over there, and you say the same here. You really don't know how big your face is, do you? "
"Your case is a cold case. How can it be treated like that?" Wen Shouyi was furious. She hadn't expected Gu Nianzhi to take advantage of a loophole in the law.
"Of course. As long as a cold case involves the safety of minors, as long as it is filed, there is no retroactive period. No matter how long it takes, it will be investigated until the murderer is brought to justice. Wen Shouyi, I really admire this law on your side. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled brightly as she went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She used the rose cream to slowly wipe the back of her hands.
Wen Shouyi was rendered speechless by Gu Nianzhi's words, but she couldn't give up just like that. After a moment of silence, she said helplessly, "Actually, you're using your power to persecute poor people like us who have no power or influence. Gu Nianzhi, when possible, one should forgive and forget. You've been so relentless in your pursuit, but have you thought about the final outcome? It might not be what you want. "
"How do you know what I want?" Gu Nianzhi looked up at herself in the mirror. Her large eyes were still dark, her skin was a bit pale, and her full lips were pale.
She looked into the mirror and said word by word, "I just want the people who harmed me to pay the price they deserve, not a bit more, not a bit less. This is the legal justice I seek. "
"Heh." Wen Shouyi thought it was ridiculous. "Gu Nianzhi, the justice you seek will never be achieved. Because we live in a world of people, and where there are people, there are people. You'll regret it. "
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "Tell that to the judge and the jury. See if they'll pay attention to you."
Gu Nianzhi hung up the phone. She thought about it and blocked Wen Shouyi's number.
As the plaintiff and defense lawyer, it was not appropriate for her to have private contact with Wen Shouyi, the defendant.
..
During lunch, Gu Nianzhi asked He Zhichu, "Young Master He, did you give my phone number to Wen Shouyi?"
He Zhichu didn't even look up. He patiently cut a piece of steak and said, "No, I didn't give your number to anyone."
He Zhichu had applied for the phone number Gu Nianzhi was using now.
He Chengjian coughed unnaturally at the side.
He didn't say anything, but Gu Nianzhi suddenly realized something. She looked at He Chengjian and said, "General He knew my phone number and told Dean Qin, didn't he? — Wen Shouyi must have gotten the phone number from Dean Qin. "
He Chengjian didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to guess the whole story with just a cough. He couldn't help smiling bitterly. "I'm sorry. I didn't know that you and your mother would be at odds with each other at that time."
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head silently and didn't say anything else.
After lunch, Gu Nianzhi went back to her room for an afternoon rest.
Before going to bed, she took out her phone and scrolled through Weibo.
In the end, she found that there was a piece of news related to her on Weibo that was trending.
It was the He family's disappearance case eight years ago.
The headline of the news was sensational and eye-catching: "A naughty girl left home for eight years. When she returned, she sent a servant from a rich and powerful family to prison, all because of a small disagreement back then."
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened and she sat up from the bed.
She had underestimated Wen Shouyi..
She even dared to provoke the He family. Was she throwing caution to the wind, or was she fighting to the death?
Gu Nianzhi clicked on it and read it. She couldn't help but laugh.
She was so lucky that someone gave her a pillow when she wanted to doze off.
It turned out that this news implied that there was something else going on in her case, but the plaintiff had picked on the weak. She only dared to sue the two gardener couples who had been used as scapegoats, and didn't dare to pursue the real culprit.
She also hinted that the court had immediately started the trial for the case that had just had a clue. There were so many cases with clues, but they had to go through a lengthy schedule. It could be seen that the rich and powerful also had an advantage in the law.
The last piece of news stabbed the hearts of the netizens the most.
Another water army joined the fray. For a moment, the likes and comments were all over the place. It quickly became popular and was uploaded to Weibo.
Gu Nianzhi's case had become popular before it was even tried. The court and the police system were under immense pressure.
She sat in her room, thinking about whether she should go up and confront them head-on, but her eyes darted around and she had a new idea.
She immediately sent Lu Jin a text message: [Lion King, I can move out soon.]
Lu Jin was overjoyed and immediately sent her an address: [This is a private room for rent. It's a well-renovated serviced apartment with three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. It's very suitable for professionals to live in.]
Gu Nianzhi hadn't expected that she would have a reason to move out of the He family's house so soon and live with her father. She really wanted to give Wen Shouyi, who had been tirelessly teaching her.
She smiled and knocked on the door of He Zhichu's room.
He Zhichu sat on the sofa and waited for her. "Come in."
He held a glass of red wine and had already taken a few sips. His face was a little red, as if he was drunk. His almond-shaped eyes were a little blurry.
Gu Nianzhi pushed open the door and stood at the door with an aggrieved expression. "Young Master He, I think it's better for me to move out."
"What's wrong?" He Zhichu rubbed his temples. His voice was a little hoarse. "Are you not used to living here? Do you want to live in my own apartment? "
"No need." Gu Nianzhi walked in and handed him her phone. "Look, I'm still living in your He family's property, but I can't get rid of this' bullying 'reputation."
He Zhichu skimmed through the trending news, and the corners of his eyes twitched. "I'll get someone to deal with it."
"Please don't." Gu Nianzhi quickly stopped him. "If you make a move, it'll really prove that I'm bullying others."
Gu Nianzhi understood the twists and turns here too well.
How could an online child not know the power of deleting posts and muting them?
That would only confirm the rumor.
"Then what do you want?" He Zhichu leaned against the sofa and stared at her with his almond-shaped eyes. "Are you just going to watch them spread rumors?"
"Of course not. But before the first trial tomorrow, I don't want to do anything to them. After the first trial, I'll gather evidence to sue them. "
Only the law could teach the media, who were keen on spreading rumors to gain attention.
Otherwise, they would think that they were really "uncrowned kings" and celebrities.
They wouldn't give them the chance to "thief calling thief".
He Zhichu nodded. "It's good that you know what to do. But if you move out, I'm worried about your safety. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and spread her hands. "How could that be? Young Master He, this is the imperial capital, the best place in the world. Are you so unconfident in the safety of your city? Don't worry, even if I move out, I'll rent a house in a first-class neighborhood. I won't mistreat myself! "
She showed him the address Lu Jin had given her. "Look here, a well-renovated serviced apartment for rent. It has three bedrooms and two living rooms. It's just right for me to live alone."
He Zhichu narrowed his eyes at her and held her hand. "Okay, I'll drive you there?"
"No need. I'll drive your car myself. "Gu Nianzhi smiled." You recognize me as your sister anyway. It's fine for a sister to drive her brother's car, right? "
"Aren't you afraid that others will say that you're 'bullying others'?" He Zhichu scratched her nose. "Little smarty, do you think I don't know what you're up to? Alright, go. When a child grows up, he'll always leave home. "
Gu Nianzhi: "???"
Was this fatherly tone really okay?
