"What are you talking about?" Gu Nianzhi glared at Huo Shaoheng, but she didn't feel guilty anymore. "I just can't accept it at the moment. And I can't accept it. I don't know what Young Master He will think, so it's better not to trouble him for the time being … "
"You have to distinguish between public and private matters." Huo Shaoheng said meaningfully, "Call him right away. The police alone can't handle the matter here. "
"No way?" Gu Nianzhi frowned and looked around. "Isn't he just an old man with some stinky money? What kind of powerful backer could he have? "
Of course, Huo Shaoheng was much more experienced than Gu Nianzhi.
Although Gu Nianzhi was extremely intelligent, it was a natural IQ.
Experience couldn't be born with it. It could only be polished bit by bit with time and experience.
Huo Shaoheng took out his phone and searched for the history of the house. He said to Gu Nianzhi, "Look at who owned this house in the past. How could someone without any background own such a house?"
Huo Shaoheng was able to think of this immediately because in the other world, there was a house like this in the same area in C City. However, that house had already been owned by the government more than a decade ago and had been set up as a museum.
Over here, the house hadn't been taken over by the government yet, but it would be soon.
Huo Shaoheng remembered that the maid had said that the house would soon be "donated" to the government to be used as a museum.
Gu Nianzhi poked her head out to take a look and exclaimed, "Huh? Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, this house was lived in by the US government's representative in China?"
"Yes, later on, the property rights were transferred to him, and he donated it to an American charity foundation."
Huo Shaoheng said according to the information he knew about the other world. He glanced at the old man lying on the ground and said, "… He probably got this house from that charity foundation."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"Why would an American charity foundation sell the house to him?" Gu Nianzhi was curious. "How much did it cost?"
"You can ask Young Master He to investigate this." Huo Shaoheng put away his phone and walked towards the old man. He dragged him up and placed him on the sofa. He then splashed a bottle of mineral water on his face.
The old man trembled from the cold water and slowly opened his eyes.
Huo Shaoheng looked down at him with a cold expression. Wearing sunglasses, he rested the baseball bat on the old man's head and said coolly, "How dare you kidnap us. You've got guts."
The old man came back to his senses. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and retorted, "You were the ones who attacked me! You came to rob and hurt people! I want to call the police! "
"Sure." Huo Shaoheng crossed his legs and sat across from him. He placed one hand on the armrest of the sofa and said coldly, "Your thugs are still lying in your basement. When the police come, are you going to pretend that you don't recognize them?"
"What thugs?" The old man endured the sharp pain in his hand and rolled his eyes. He wanted to find a chance to escape from this small reception room.
However, as soon as he moved his leg, a piercing pain assaulted him. It was no less painful than the pain in his hand.
Lowering his eyes, he saw a pair of soft legs propped up at a strange angle. He was instantly dumbfounded.
He wanted to reach out and touch his leg, but his arms didn't listen to him at all. Once he moved, he broke out in cold sweat from the pain.
There was not a single part of his body that didn't hurt. It was as if someone had used a knife to cut all the bones in his body.
His vision went black and he fainted again.
Huo Shaoheng became impatient and walked over to pour another glass of water. At the same time, he pinched the man's philtrum to force him to wake up. He said coldly, "If you faint again, I'll bury you alive."
The voice was cold and murderous. No one who heard it would doubt his words.
The old man shuddered and endured the waves of pain. He trembled and said, "… Did you hit me like this?"
"Of course not." Huo Shaoheng denied it flatly. "Which eye of yours saw me hit you? Where's the evidence? "
Gu Nianzhi quickly stood up and took the baseball bat from Huo Shaoheng's hand. "I hit you! You b * tch, you're still doing such filthy things at your age! I'm going to sue you for molestation! I was defending myself! "
The old man glared at Gu Nianzhi and spat hatefully. He said hoarsely, "Molestation? You have evidence?! "
"Of course I do," Gu Nianzhi answered crisply and pointed at Huo Shaoheng. "He saw it with his own eyes. He's my witness. Also, you installed surveillance cameras in the living room. You touched my hand and said, "Sugar."
You touched my hand and said Sugar, Daddy, so you haven't deleted it yet, right? "
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
The old man's lips opened and closed. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything because there were indeed surveillance cameras in his living room …
"I only touched your hand. That's molestation?" The old man quickly found another reason. "I wanted to shake your hand! It's just basic etiquette! "
"Yes, the etiquette in your family is to hold the back of the hand and shake hands." Gu Nianzhi smacked the baseball bat in her hand in disdain. She said, "Stop talking nonsense. Tell me, why did you set a trap to catch me?! I have no grudge against you. How can you be so vicious?! You're already so old and about to be buried, yet you're still doing such a heartless thing. Aren't you afraid of retribution soon?! "
"This is a misunderstanding …" The old man said, then suddenly shouted, "… Help …"
Huo Shaoheng reacted quickly. He covered the old man's jaw with one hand and dislocated the joint.
The old man's last word was silenced before he could say it.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him and said calmly, "We will also call the police. Just wait for the police to clean up your den of thieves!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the old man's eyes showed obvious fear. He made a sound as if he was begging for mercy.
Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and said calmly, "If you promise not to scream, I can push your chin up. But if you scream again, I won't be able to control my strength. "
The old man could already feel Huo Shaoheng's strength and speed. His body was in excruciating pain, and he knew he had met his match this time.
An evil person would only submit to someone who was more ruthless than him.
Huo Shaoheng saw that he seemed to have submitted, so he reached out to fix his chin.
As soon as the old man's chin was back in place, he immediately said, "I was wrong … I know I was wrong … I shouldn't have been lustful … I'll give you money. I'll compensate you. One million, ten million, or 100 million? Any is fine! "
"You're that rich?" Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and looked at him. "Are you really just lustful?"
"It's all my fault. It's all my fault. Miss, you're too beautiful. I liked you the moment I saw you, so I was momentarily bewitched. Please forgive an old man like me … I'm almost 70 years old … Even if you go to court to sue me, the most you'll get is an apology. You won't even have to pay criminal liability … "
"You know the law pretty well." Gu Nianzhi said mockingly, "You know …"
She originally wanted to say that she was a lawyer, but then she thought about it. Wouldn't that expose herself?
Therefore, the words that were about to come out of her mouth quickly stopped and she said, "Do you know that I can also hire a lawyer?"
The old man froze for a moment, then began to beg even more pitifully, "Please, Miss, let me go this time. I won't pursue the matter after you beat me up like this, and I won't do this kind of thing again. I can't even think about it anymore. Please let me go. I'll give you a lot of money as a gift. There are no conditions. As long as you don't call the police, let me go this time!"
He even offered to transfer money to them immediately, as long as they didn't call the police.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him with amusement and pointed at herself. "Do you think I'm stupid? Or do you think money can buy everything? "
The old man smiled weakly. "Little girl, you're still young. You don't know the power of money. Actually, money can really buy everything. "
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi held the baseball bat and smacked the old man's head. She said coldly, "Can money buy your life? Look, no matter how rich you are, you can't live through life. Of course you can't live without money. But if you think you can do whatever you want with money, it's quite sad. "
"… Money can't buy your own life, but it can buy the lives of others." The old man's lips twitched. "For example, right now. As long as you show mercy and don't report me to the police, I'll buy my own life."
"You're speaking too early." Gu Nianzhi clasped her hands behind her back and dragged the baseball bat behind her. It swayed like a cat's tail. She walked around the small reception room at a leisurely pace and said in a low voice, "Don't think that you can divert our attention just because you admitted to indecent assault."
Gu Nianzhi stopped in her tracks and looked up at the small, antique reception room. It was as if she had returned to ancient times. Similarly, she had returned to the atmosphere of inequality in ancient times.
"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me why you set a trap to capture me." Gu Nianzhi stood in front of the old man and looked down at him. "Don't try to lie. Do you believe that I can analyze the truth from your words?"
The old man was speechless.
He saw that Gu Nianzhi wouldn't budge. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "… When did I lie? I was just lustful and made the mistake that every man in the world would make. What? Do you want to shoot me for something so trivial? "
"You're avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. You're trying to hide your true purpose." Gu Nianzhi saw that he was being stubborn and didn't beat around the bush.
The old man's pupils suddenly constricted.
Gu Nianzhi raised a brow and didn't miss the slight change in his expression.
"Did I hit the nail on the head?" Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes.
"Don't forget that you were the one who invited us in in the beginning. This means that you are very familiar with our looks."
Gu Nianzhi stared at the old man's evasive eyes. "Stop pretending. It's our looks. Do we look like someone you know?"
"No!" The old man retorted instinctively. "How could I know someone who looks like you! Didn't you come back from the United States?! "
"Haha! Then you do! " Gu Nianzhi was the best at this kind of logical reasoning. She immediately said, "I said 'our' looks, but you subconsciously denied that only 'me' looks. This means that you really know someone who looks like me. It was because of this person that you came up with the idea to invite us in and set up a trap to kidnap me, right?!"
