Do you prefer the Peter here or the Huo Shaoheng over there?
How was she supposed to answer this question?
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank.
However, on the surface, she still said decisively, "Of course it's Huo Shaoheng over there. I have nothing to do with Peter over here."
It did not matter at all, because this "Peter" was not the real Peter at all.
Lu Jin looked at her for a moment longer, then nodded and said calmly, "I think so too. Although Peter was Huo Shaoheng's counterpart, they weren't the same person after all. They just had the same DNA. Their temperament, character, way of doing things, and even their identity and experience are completely different. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, so you don't have to ask this question at all."
Lu Jin smiled awkwardly and said, "I saw that you guys have been quite close recently. I thought …"
He thought she had fallen in love with someone else.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but frown. Was it that obvious between her and Huo Shaoheng?
It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future.
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and said embarrassedly, "Actually, we're not close. He's a good person, and he was entrusted by President Lu to protect us here …"
Lu Jin snorted. "There are no good people in the KGB. Don't think it's too simple. "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
If Huo Shaoheng was really the KGB's Ace of the Far East, Peter, then he must have approached them with ulterior motives. She was sure of this.
However, the problem was that Huo Shaoheng wasn't the real Ace of the Far East, Peter. Gu Nianzhi's trust in him was already deep in his bones. It was really difficult to appear calm and collected.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt that she still had to hone her acting skills. After all, an actress was no match for the "King of Drama."
Gu Nianzhi hung her head and thought about it for a while, then said softly, "Dad is right. I'll distance myself from him in the future."
It was rare for Lu Jin to see Gu Nianzhi so obedient. It was as if he had eaten a bucket of Agendas berry ice cream in the dog days. It was sour and sweet.
He beamed with joy and nodded. "Good, good, good. But you don't have to be too distant. He's good at martial arts. I'm relieved to let him protect you."
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
…
Huo Shaoheng answered Lu Yuan's apartment. After reading the military works and magazines that Lu Yuan had collected here for a while, he planned to sleep.
After washing up in the bathroom, she saw her phone vibrating on the bedside table in the bedroom.
He picked it up and swiped it open. It was a text message from a stranger.
There was no content, only an unfamiliar phone number.
Huo Shaoheng looked at it and dialed the number without batting an eyelid.
Lu Yuan's voice soon came from the other side.
"Good evening, Mr. Peter," Lu Yuan said politely, but there was a faint smile in his voice, as if he was joking.
Huo Shaoheng also smiled. "President Lu is in a good mood …"
"It's alright." At this moment, Lu Yuan was holding a glass of red wine and standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the luxurious suite on the top floor of the Shangri-La Hotel in Z City, looking out at the night view of the entire city.
From his direction, he could see the Qin Corporation's building on the opposite side.
The landmark in the center of Z City was the building where the headquarters of the Qin Corporation's Private Hospital was located.
The name of this building was very simple. It was called "Qin Corporation". It had a total of 100 floors and was more than 400 meters tall. The building's shape was strange. It looked like two sabers standing side by side. There was a circular hole on the roof. It was said to be designed as a wind tunnel. It could slow down the speed of the wind when the tall building encountered a hurricane.
When the lights were on at night, the silver floor was like two shining sabers that were stabbed into the ground in the center of Z City.
Lu Yuan took a sip of red wine and said with a smile, "The Qin family is really interesting."
Huo Shaoheng knew that there was a hidden meaning in Lu Yuan's words. "President Lu, it seems like you have a clue?"
"Hehe, you can say that there is, but you can also say that there isn't." Lu Yuan elegantly placed his wine glass on the windowsill and looked at the Qin Corporation's building opposite him. He said leisurely, "Whether it's the Qin Corporation's Private Group or the Qin Orphanage, there are no loopholes. The management is perfect, the accounts are clear, and the social charity is also in place. — It's indeed very impressive. "
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Although he was a little anxious, he still said unhurriedly, "That means there's no progress. There will be another court session next Monday, and we've made a little progress here. "
As he spoke, Huo Shaoheng recounted the situation of Gu Nianzhi's last court appearance. In the end, he said with pride, "Nianzhi is very impressive. With a few words, she provoked Liang Meili and Qin Yaoguang into killing each other, and she reaped the benefits."
Lu Yuan was shocked when he heard this. "Wen Shouyi is the daughter of Qin Yaoguang and the He family's gardener, Wen Dayou?! Are you sure?! "
"That's what the DNA test showed." Huo Shaoheng shrugged. "What does this have to do with whether I'm sure or not?"
Lu Yuan held his phone and paced around the suite. He kept thinking about this fact and said, "How old is Wen Shouyi this year?"
"26 or 27?" Huo Shaoheng wasn't very sure. "About that age."
"That was 27 or 28 years ago." Lu Yuan suddenly raised his head and smiled. "I have an idea. Nianzhi is really smart. She has given me a lot of inspiration. Alright, wait for my good news! "
Huo Shaoheng was stunned. "What did you think of?"
"If we can't find their current loophole, we can only start looking from where they made their fortune. I'll call you when I find out, "Lu Yuan said in a hurry. He couldn't wait to find someone to start the investigation again.
Huo Shaoheng replied with an "oh". "We're going to have another court session next Monday. Can you find some clues before then?"
"I'll try my best," Lu Yuan said and hung up the phone.
He held his phone and walked around the room a few times, then walked into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, he walked out. His entire person had changed.
There was a big beard on his face, and he had thick eyebrows and sharp eyes. He was completely different from his own image.
However, it was exactly the same as the ID he had used when he checked into the hotel.
This time, he had come to Z City to use this image to walk around outside.
No one knew that he was the president of the Lu Corporation.
His current identity was a coal boss from the north.
He wore a thick gold chain around his neck and several gold rings on his fingers. His clothes were all branded logos, and he wore a pair of LV sneakers, which were especially suitable for walking.
He left the Shangri-La Hotel dressed like this. He found a taxi on the street and asked the driver to take him to a nightclub on the edge of Z City.
There were many people and the light was dim. It was a good place to hide filth and also a good place to hide one's identity.
The taxi driver saw Lu Yuan's outfit in the rearview mirror and smiled knowingly. He thought that Lu Yuan's anxious appearance meant that he was going to look for a prostitute.
He didn't expose him. He pulled him all the way to the entrance of a nightclub on the outskirts of Z City and put him down.
After Lu Yuan got out of the car, he went straight into the nightclub and bought a glass of wine. He went to the bathroom without drinking it.
When he came out of the bathroom, he had already dressed up as a sloppy middle-aged man. There was a black leatherette bag in his armpit.
Passing through the crowded and chaotic crowd, he left the nightclub and wandered around the urban-rural fringe. He found a very old family hotel and walked in.
From the information he had gathered, this family hotel had a history of almost a hundred years, even longer than the Qin family's history here.
Yes, this was where the Qin family's hometown was located.
The Qin family's private hospital group, which was now famous in the Huaxia Empire, came out from here.
Lu Yuan walked into the family hotel and stared at the price list on the opposite wall. Then, he asked, "May I ask how much is the cheapest room here for a night?"
An old woman in her sixties looked up from behind the front desk and said, "The cheapest room is 20 yuan a night, but it's a shared bed with eight people."
"What about the cheapest single room?" Lu Yuan took out a worn wallet from his leatherette bag and asked shabbily.
"The cheapest single room is 50 yuan a night. There's no bathroom, only a bed, and no windows."
"Okay, I want a single room for 50 yuan." Lu Yuan rummaged through his wallet for a long time, took out a 50 yuan bill, and handed it over.
The old woman took the money and directly handed him the key. "Turn in from here, go straight, and then the first room on the right is it."
Lu Yuan was a little surprised. "… Aren't you going to register your ID card?"
The old woman smiled and said, "If you're willing to give it to me, I'll register it."
Lu Yuan: "…"
It was indeed a family hotel. It had been in business for a hundred years, but it was still a small family hotel.
Of course, Lu Yuan didn't take the initiative to give her his ID card. He smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Granny."
In this place, unfamiliar old women were called "Granny".
The old woman saw that he was quite polite and had a good impression of him.
She walked out from behind the front desk and took the initiative to lead him to the room over there. She nagged, "Be careful when you go out. Although my place is cheap, it's very safe. No one dares to cause trouble here. "
Lu Yuan had already investigated. The old woman's family was surnamed Chen, and they were considered the local tyrants in this place. Indeed, no one dared to cause trouble in their small hotel.
"Thank you, Granny." Lu Yuan nodded and bowed gratefully behind her.
"My husband's surname is Chen. Everyone calls me Granny Chen." The old woman became more and more satisfied with him. "Why don't I get you a bigger room?"
The door of the single room opened. Lu Yuan looked and saw that it was indeed a bed. The entire room was almost the size of this bed.
After he opened the door, he could go to bed. His shoes could only be stuffed under the bed, otherwise, there would be no place to put them.
He wasn't picky. In their line of work, what place had they not lived before?
Lu Yuan placed a faux leather black leather bag on the bed and said, "No need, no need. This is very good. I came from the city today. If I can find my relatives tomorrow, I'll have a place to stay. "
"Your relatives?" Granny Chen's spirits lifted. She liked to help people find relatives and friends the most. "I know everyone here. Who are your relatives? What's their name? Maybe you'll be able to find them tonight. "
"Really?!" Lu Yuan asked in surprise. "My relative's surname is Qin."
"Surname Qin?" Granny Chen looked at him in understanding. "It's the Qin family that's now running a private hospital, right? They're no longer here. Why did you come here to look for them? "
