Gu Nianzhi laughed out loud and snapped her fingers. "Of course we're going to check and fill in the gaps. Let's go to C City, how about that?"
"C City?" Huo Shaoheng stared at Gu Nianzhi. "I thought you were going to Z City."
Z City was the birthplace of Qin Baoye's family, and it was also the place where they had made their first fortune.
Gu Nianzhi had her own ideas. Her mind was very nimble, and she could always find evidence and doubts from places that others wouldn't expect.
Gu Nianzhi pulled up the documents on her laptop and used the mouse to point at the news about Qin Huichang's family selling land. "I guess Qin Yaoguang's family has been whitewashed all these years. If President Lu can't find any strong information over there, we won't be much better than President Lu."
"Besides, since President Lu has already gone, it would be impolite for us to go too. It would make President Lu suspicious and think that we're looking down on his ability."
"But Qin Huichang's family is different." Gu Nianzhi listed her views very seriously.
"On the surface, Qin Huichang and his wife died in a car accident. Their only daughter, Qin Suwen, was injured in the car accident and later entered the orphanage in C City. Then, the orphanage in C City was acquired by the Qin Corporation and became a part of the Qin Orphanage. Qin Suwen, also known as Auntie He, grew up under such conditions. "
"Although such a family has no relatives, and it seems that no one knows about them and doesn't know what happened back then, other than relatives, don't tell me that Qin Huichang's family has no friends? And neighbors and colleagues, do these people also know nothing about what happened back then? "
"I don't believe that the mastermind is so powerful that he can kill all the friends, neighbors, and colleagues who aren't related to Qin Huichang's family."
"So we can only find more evidence from Qin Huichang's family's friends, neighbors, and colleagues."
Huo Shaoheng rested his chin on his hands and leaned closer to her. He said thoughtfully, "Qin Huichang's family was originally a large family, even more so than Qin Baoye's family. But because the rest of Qin Huichang's family had all gone abroad in the early years, in terms of relatives, only their family was in the country. After Qin Huichang and his wife had the accident, Qin Suwen had no other relatives to adopt her, so she entered the orphanage. "
"That's right." Gu Nianzhi clasped her palms together and said confidently, "Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhining are both the sons of Qin Suwen's cousin. They returned to the country to reunite with Qin Suwen after Qin Suwen grew up and married He Chengjian."
"Therefore, after that incident, Qin Huichang's family became extinct."
Huo Shaoheng understood and continued Gu Nianzhi's words, "… In that case, it looks like Qin Huichang's family has been taken care of on the surface. The other party has nothing to worry about, so they won't pay attention to this anymore."
"Yes, the only clue is that their daughter, Qin Suwen, is in their hands …" Gu Nianzhi was confused again.
"Our analysis is based on the fact that the incident with Qin Huichang and his wife was caused by Qin Baye's family. But I don't understand. If Qin Baye and the others really did it, why did they allow Qin Suwen to live? "
"Logically speaking, shouldn't Qin Suwen be killed directly? You see, she was seriously injured at that time, so we could have done it in the hospital. "
"If we didn't do it in the hospital, it wouldn't be strange for a few orphans to die in the orphanage later, right?"
"As long as Qin Suwen died, Qin Huichang's family would be considered to have been truly annihilated. Wouldn't that be the best outcome for Qin Baye and the others?"
"Why would they do such an unnecessary thing and let Qin Suwen survive, go to a prestigious university, and even meet, fall in love with, and marry, a young master like He Chengjian?"
Actually, this was also what Huo Shaoheng had always been suspicious about.
"I'm thinking about this too." Huo Shaoheng was very pleased to see that Gu Nianzhi could think of it herself. He leaned over and kissed her soft, curvy lips. He said, "Little darling, it's really amazing that you can think of this on your own."
Gu Nianzhi's lips felt as if they had been electrocuted. They were numb to the bone. Her cheeks were flushed, and her dark eyes were rippling like spring water.
In order to hide the different feelings in her body, she pouted coquettishly and said unwillingly, "Wasn't I amazing before? Hmph! You still look down on me … "
Huo Shaoheng didn't dare to look into her eyes again. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold himself back and "take care" of her on the sofa …
Huo Shaoheng quietly turned his head away and looked in the direction of the door. His voice was a little hoarse. "… Little darling, stop fooling around. We're talking about serious matters."
Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly, but she didn't continue to tease Huo Shaoheng. Her voice returned to normal. "In order to figure this out, we should go to C City to investigate Qin Huichang's family."
Huo Shaoheng took a deep breath and calmed the commotion in his body. He said calmly, "Do you want to ask He Zhichu? After all, it's his grandfather's family. I think his mother might have also investigated this case? "
Gu Nianzhi whispered, "… I know, but I still want to investigate it myself first. I don't want to be prejudiced by other people's information …"
Actually, there was another reason. She didn't want He Chengjian to know what they were investigating.
This person's power and influence were too great. If he interfered, it would alert the people behind the case.
Huo Shaoheng understood and nodded approvingly. "That makes sense. We do need to get some first-hand information."
"Then let's split up and look for information. Let's see how many friends, neighbors, or colleagues we can find from Qin Huichang's family in C City."
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Then let's split up."
The two of them worked together. Gu Nianzhi searched online, and Huo Shaoheng used the KGB's channels to search.
A day later, they came up with a list and confirmed the current addresses of these people. They planned to go to C City.
However, before going to C City, they still had to find out the results of Lu Jin's test. In other words, they had to find out when Qin Yaoguang had undergone plastic surgery.
It was said that this was the limit of what Lu Jin could do.
Early that morning, Gu Nianzhi got up early. She washed up and went to knock on the door of Lu Jin's apartment.
For the past two days, Lu Jin had been doing experiments in his apartment's laboratory.
Hearing Gu Nianzhi knock on the door, Lu Jin looked at the results of his test and sighed.
It was indeed that year.
He went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He saw that his face was unshaven and unkempt. He quickly washed his face with water before coming out to open the door.
Gu Nianzhi thought that Lu Jin hadn't gotten up yet, so she was planning to come back later.
As soon as the door opened, Gu Nianzhi's eyes lit up. "Dad! Are your results out? "
"They're out." Lu Jin turned to the side and let her in.
Gu Nianzhi jumped in happily and sat upright on Lu Jin's sofa. Like a very obedient primary school student, she suddenly asked with big bright eyes, "… What year was it? Qin Yaoguang had plastic surgery. What year was it? "
Lu Jin gave her a copy of the information. "This is the results of my test. Look at the time."
Gu Nianzhi took the information and quickly flipped through it.
It wasn't until she flipped to the last page that she saw the time Lu Jin had written.
Gu Nianzhi did the math and looked up in surprise. "… Qin Yaoguang was only eight and a half years old at that time!"
She was even younger than they had previously thought of as "ten years old".
Lu Jin nodded solemnly. "To be precise, it was a year before Qin Huichang's family got into a car accident."
"How could that be?" Gu Nianzhi closed the information in disappointment. "I thought … it was after that."
"Unfortunately, it was indeed a year before their car accident," Lu Jin said seriously. "I'm not lying to you."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She smiled. "Dad, I know. If you were lying to me, your eyes and movements would be completely different."
It was enough that she had been lied to once. Even Huo Shaoheng couldn't lie to her a second time.
Lu Jin nodded seriously. "I know that with your IQ, you wouldn't be able to see this."
"… But I was still lied to by you once …" Gu Nianzhi was still brooding over that "lie".
Lu Jin explained seriously, "You were lied to by me that time because you were blinded by family. You trusted me unconditionally, so you accepted everything I said without thinking."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She said faintly, "It's good that you know."
"I also suffered losses. What I did made you lose your unconditional trust in me. "Lu Jin sincerely admitted his mistake to Gu Nianzhi." I'm very sorry, but I don't regret it. At that time, I did what I could. In the end, you discovered the truth. That was because you were too smart, so smart that even I didn't expect it. "
Gu Nianzhi was embarrassed and quickly said, "Dad, I know you had your reasons for doing that, and I don't blame you. But each of us has a different view of things, and our thoughts and practices are also different, so we need to communicate. "
"If you have anything to say, you can tell us and we'll analyze it together. Two heads are better than one. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang! " Gu Nianzhi was a very optimistic person. She patted Lu Jin on the shoulder. "Dad, with the few of us here, I don't think there's anything in the world that can stump us!"
Newborn calves were really not afraid of tigers..
Lu Jin sighed and patted Gu Nianzhi's head. He smiled and said, "… Okay."
Gu Nianzhi felt that Lu Jin was being insincere, but she didn't continue to ask.
Everyone had their own privacy, so she couldn't get to the bottom of it. She had to give Lu Jin some privacy.
Gu Nianzhi changed the topic. "Then can you send me a copy of this information? I want to carefully figure out what's going on during this period of time. "
Lu Jin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll send it right away."
He asked her again, "Have you had breakfast? Peter hasn't come to make breakfast yet, has he? "
Then he muttered, "Boss Lu has been in the south for so long. I wonder when he'll be back."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and turned back to her apartment. "I'll go see if Mr. Peter has made breakfast. By the way, can you contact President Lu? See if there's any new progress on his end. "
..
When she returned to her apartment, she saw that Huo Shaoheng had already prepared breakfast and placed it on the dining table.
Gu Nianzhi quickly called Lu Jin and asked him to come over for breakfast.
After the three of them finished breakfast, Gu Nianzhi said to Lu Jin, "Dad, Mr. Peter and I are going to C City for a while. Do you want to come with us?"
"Why are we going to C City?" Lu Jin frowned. He didn't really want Gu Nianzhi to go.
Gu Nianzhi wanted to tell the truth, but Huo Shaoheng said first, "Uncle Lu, it's like this. I'm the deputy consul of the Soviet Consulate General in C City. I've been in the capital for so long, it's time for me to go back and take a look."
"Nianzhi is going back to C City to handle some handover matters at the law firm where she's a partner. She might be withdrawing her shares from that law firm."
Gu Nianzhi saw that Huo Shaoheng had hidden their true intentions, so she had no choice but to remain silent. She picked up the milk and took a sip.
There was a white milk mark on the edge of her upper lip.
Huo Shaoheng naturally picked up the napkin on the table and wiped it for Gu Nianzhi.
Lu Jin narrowed his eyes. For the first time, he realized that Peter seemed to be too familiar with Gu Nianzhi …
