Gu Nianzhi's words weren't groundless.
From the moment they came to C City to investigate Qin Huichang and his wife's colleagues, neighbors, and friends, they had first categorized them according to how close they were.
Of the three people they found, the first was a colleague living in the nursing home. This person wasn't very close, but this person still remembered what happened decades ago.
The second person was the neighbor's old lady that they found yesterday.
From this old woman, they had a qualitative breakthrough.
Gu Nianzhi could almost guess who her biological mother was.
So today, Gu Nianzhi was already mentally prepared for the third person.
This person must be the person who knew the most about what happened back then.
He could be good or bad. Of course, he was more likely to be a bystander.
If this person didn't do anything, she couldn't guess what kind of person he was for the time being.
But not only did this person do it, but he also tried to use a trap to kidnap her.
At this point, wasn't it obvious whether he was good or bad?
Gu Nianzhi looked at the man's uncontrollable expression of fear. Her chin was slightly raised, and her dark and deep eyes were filled with suppressed anger.
"Why aren't you continuing to deny it?" She held the baseball bat in her right hand and slowly tapped it in her left hand. "Where's the original photo? Also, what's with this doll?! "
When the old man heard these questions, his eyes suddenly stopped flickering.
He probably knew that he had finally fallen. The other shoe he had been waiting for for so many years had finally fallen, so he calmed down.
"… Then you admit that you're not some Chinese-American from New York?" He said slowly with a disdainful smile on his lips.
Gu Nianzhi didn't deny it. She smiled and said, "When did I say I wasn't?"
"Ha, a Chinese-American returning from New York would be interested in that doll?" The old man asked. "Do you think I'm stupid? You two sneakily took photos in front of my house. Do you think I can't tell? "
"We're just taking photos. I won't hide it from you. Before today, we took photos in many other places. " Gu Nianzhi sneered and raised the baseball bat. "No one else invited us in like you did. They all asked us to leave! If this isn't a guilty conscience, then what is?! "
The corners of the old man's eyes twitched.
He saw Gu Nianzhi at the door on the second floor. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed. That was why he wanted to ask her to come in and see what was going on.
When he saw her take off her sunglasses, she looked very similar to the Qin family's brain surgeon, Qin Yaoguang. He had an idea.
This person should be Gu Nianzhi.
She definitely did not come to C City with good intentions.
He had also been following Gu Nianzhi and Qin Yaoguang's lawsuit, but he hadn't personally gone to the imperial capital. He had only asked someone to inquire about the progress of the lawsuit and the contents of the trial.
Ever since he found out that Gu Nianzhi had discovered that Qin Yaoguang wasn't her biological mother, he had been restless and immediately planned to go abroad to settle down.
He was so rich that he had already prepared a foreign passport and identity for himself.
He had originally planned to leave C City in two days and ask someone to sell off all the properties here.
However, two days before he was to leave the country, Gu Nianzhi came looking for him.
She was really fast …
The old man closed his eyes and said indifferently, "I won't talk to you anymore. Call the police if you have the ability. I want to find a lawyer. I won't say another word until the lawyer arrives. "
Huo Shaoheng stood to the side and listened to Gu Nianzhi's questions.
Now that the old man had come up with a "non-violent non-cooperation" strategy, Gu Nianzhi had no choice.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it and took out his phone to swipe it open. Seeing that there was still a signal on it, he sent He Zhichu a text message: [Lawyer Gu is in trouble in C City. She needs help.]
Less than a second after sending it, he received a reply from He Zhichu: [Someone notified me. The Chinese courtyard next to the green space in the center of C City, right? I'm already on the plane. I'll be there in two hours.]
Huo Shaoheng looked at He Zhichu's reply on his phone and was a little confused.
Who informed him of this?
He Zhichu didn't answer Huo Shaoheng's question. In fact, his phone only received a satellite location address and a message: [Gu Nianzhi is in trouble in C City. Please help.]
He Zhichu immediately turned on his phone and found that Gu Nianzhi was indeed at that location.
He didn't dare to call Gu Nianzhi's phone immediately. He was worried that it would be inconvenient for her to answer the phone or expose his whereabouts, so he immediately gathered his men and flew over on a private plane.
Huo Shaoheng saw that He Zhichu wasn't replying, so he handed the phone to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi looked down and saw that it was He Zhichu's reply. Her heart trembled slightly, but she quickly recovered and asked curiously, "Who informed him? They're here so soon … "
Huo Shaoheng thought about it by elimination for a while, then took the phone and wrote a few words: [It might be your father.]
"Huh? No way, didn't he leave alone? " Gu Nianzhi was very confused, but she remembered that Lu Jin was also very good at computers. She thought about it and also wrote on her phone: [… Could it really be my dad?]
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "It can only be him."
That meant that although Lu Jin wasn't in the apartment in the imperial capital, he was still in constant contact with the computer in the apartment and getting information from the artificial intelligence hologram?
Thinking about it that way, it seemed to make sense.
Knowing that Lu Jin hadn't completely disappeared and was still worried about her safety, Gu Nianzhi's anxiety finally calmed down.
He Zhichu was also on his way.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt that she had Huo Shaoheng on her left, He Zhichu on her right, and Lu Jin behind her!
With these three people by her side to protect her, she didn't have to be afraid of anyone.
[There's still two hours. Should we wait for Young Master He to arrive before calling the police?]
Huo Shaoheng nodded. [I'll send him a message.]
As long as He Zhichu arrived, he would be able to deal with the aftermath.
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Send a message to the pilot of the private plane as well. Tell him that we're ready to go back."
Huo Shaoheng agreed and picked up his phone to send a message to the pilot of Lu Jin's private plane to arrange for them to return.
Their private plane needed to contact the airport dispatcher before it took off, so they couldn't just leave like He Zhichu.
Huo Shaoheng felt a little regretful.
This wasn't his country, his territory.
He was completely relying on himself here, unlike in the other world, where he had the entire country behind him.
Now that she was sure that He Zhichu would come, Gu Nianzhi wasn't in a hurry to search the entire house. She just stood in front of the small table and carefully looked at the doll.
This doll was exactly the same as the doll she had played with when she was young. Why was it here?
The doll's appearance was that of the Qin family's daughter. It was more similar to Wen Shouyi, Luo Piaopiao, and the others.
Gu Nianzhi didn't look like this when she was young. She was just a little chubby..
Looking at the envelope in front of the doll, Gu Nianzhi's hands itched, but she didn't touch the envelope.
Since everything was up to He Zhichu to handle, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't interfere.
She planned to temporarily avoid He Zhichu while he investigated this matter to give He Zhichu some buffer time and space. Otherwise, it would be too awkward.
The two of them sat in the small meeting room and silently scrolled through their phones.
Gu Nianzhi sent messages to Lu Jin's phone and kept asking, "Dad, where are you?"
Huo Shaoheng was contacting Lu Yuan. "Lu Jin is missing."
Soon, Lu Yuan's call came over.
He stood in front of the saber-shaped building in Z City and asked anxiously, "What do you mean? What do you mean Lu Jin is missing?! "
Huo Shaoheng hung up the phone and sent a message. "If it's not convenient to talk, you can text."
Lu Yuan had no choice but to text him. "Didn't I ask you to look after him?! He can even disappear right under your nose. Are you incompetent, or is he too arrogant? "
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Lu Yuan's heart was burning with anxiety. "What's going on? When did you notice that he was missing? "
Huo Shaoheng replied, "… Nianzhi and I came to C City. He must have left after we left.]
Lu Yuan was even angrier when he saw this. "I told you to look after him! How can you leave your post without permission?! "
Huo Shaoheng replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Nianzhi is coming to C City to look for clues about Qin Huichang and his wife. I came with her. "
Lu Yuan knew that "Qin Huichang and his wife" were the family who sold the land. They were the parents of General He's wife, Qin Suwen, and General He Chengjian's father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Lu Yuan pursed his lips and typed with a dark expression, "Hurry up and think of a way to find him. I think he might have already left the country."
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
If he had already left the country, how could he find him?
Flip the entire Blue Planet upside down?
