He Zhichu rubbed his chin and suppressed the anxiety and discomfort in his heart. He said calmly, "Those two are thieves? Trying to steal something from the basement? Are you sure? "
"Of course I'm sure," the lawyer said firmly. He had full trust in his client.
This was because his client was very rich. Although he kept a low profile, everyone in their circle knew about him.
Weren't the two young people sneaking into someone else's basement because they wanted to steal something?
The lawyer had already concluded that the two of them were up to no good.
To him, rich people were the reason.
People without money were not worthy of reasoning with him.
"Okay, then what did your client lose?" He Zhichu asked expressionlessly with his hands in his trouser pockets.
Lawyer: "…"
"… We'll only know what exactly is lost after we count it." He bluffed, trying to blur his vision.
"So your client lost a lot of things?" He Zhichu emphasized the word "a lot." His eyes were not warm as he looked at the lawyer in front of him coldly.
The lawyer thought of the basement he had just seen … Was there a need to say the basement of a rich person?
There must be a lot of good things hidden there …
For example, the landlords and old rich capitalists during the founding of the People's Republic did not store their good things in the bank. They all dug a hole at home and buried it.
He nodded. "Yes, I lost a lot of things."
"Then make the list now." He Zhichu took out a lighter and tossed it up and down in his hand. "Without the list, the police can't file a case."
"Huh? Then I'll go ask now, "the lawyer said as he quickly entered the ward again.
"Sir, can you remember what you've lost? Young Master He said that the police can't file a case without the lost list. "
The old man was stunned. "Lost list? When did I say I lost something? "
"… Didn't you just say …" The lawyer was also stunned. He had just said it!
"I'm talking about an attempt! Do you understand an attempt?! " The old man gritted his teeth and glared at the lawyer. "2,000 yuan an hour. Why did they hire a piece of trash like you!"
The lawyer was shocked and quickly comforted the old man. "I understand! I understand! Don't worry! I'll go talk to Young Master He right now! They're trying to steal, aren't they? "
The old man panted heavily. "… Get lost!"
The lawyer was as fat as a ball. When he was anxious, more sweat appeared on his forehead, and his whole face was shiny.
He ran out of the ward again and panted to He Zhichu. "Young Master He, it's a misunderstanding … a misunderstanding … My client didn't lose anything. The other party tried to steal, but he didn't succeed …"
"Attempted theft?" He Zhichu snickered and narrowed his shimmering almond-shaped eyes. "And I said your client attempted murder! But attempted murder! "
The lawyer felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He glared at He Zhichu and said, "Young Master He, you can't just say that! My client was beaten half to death by them. He might have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, and you're accusing him of attempted murder?! Where's the evidence? "
"Of course the evidence has to be handed over to the police. Why should I show it to you?" He Zhichu put away the lighter and his expression turned cold. "Enough. When the police and the court are done with the paperwork, immediately escort them to the imperial capital!"
The search here had come to an end. All the property under the old man's name was temporarily sealed, and all the funds were frozen.
He wanted to return to the capital and interrogate this "friend" who had suddenly appeared.
Why did he have a doll that looked like the doll that Nianzhi had played with when she was young?
Why did he have a family photo of his grandfather and grandmother, as well as a photo of his mother before she had plastic surgery …
He Zhichu couldn't look at the photo directly.
..
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng came out of the old man's Chinese-style courtyard. They immediately called a taxi and went straight to the airport.
The pilot of Lu Jin's private plane had already made arrangements with the airport and would soon be able to take off back to the imperial capital.
They rushed to the airport and after a simple security check, they finally returned to Lu Jin's private plane.
When He Zhichu brought the old man and his thugs to the hospital in C City for treatment and bandaging, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng were already on the flight back to the imperial capital.
Gu Nianzhi didn't speak, nor did she look at her phone. She sat in the plane in a daze, staring at the screen in front of her.
There was an old movie on the screen, but she didn't pay attention to it at all.
Huo Shaoheng knew that she had suffered a great shock, so he didn't disturb her for the time being. He just wanted her to slowly get used to it.
At around nine o 'clock in the evening, the plane landed at the imperial capital airport.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the clear night sky and felt the cool and fresh air of the imperial capital's spring night. She sighed softly.
Huo Shaoheng held her hand and didn't say anything. He held her hand and led her all the way home.
When they returned to Lu Jin's apartment on the third ring road of the imperial capital, Gu Nianzhi immediately knocked on the door of Lu Jin's apartment.
"Dad! Open the door! I'm Nianzhi! How could you leave me behind and run away again?! "
She banged on the door vigorously and shouted. Gradually, her shouts turned into cries, as if she wanted to vent all the pain and discomfort she had been suppressing ever since she found out about her biological mother.
Huo Shaoheng had been watching from the side. It wasn't until he saw her wailing that he went over to pick her up.
Gu Nianzhi turned around and leaned into his broad and strong chest. She buried her head in his chest and cried even harder.
"… What exactly does he want? First he hid it from my biological mother … then he secretly ran away … Does he really want me to become an orphan … "
Gu Nianzhi sobbed. Her eyes and nose were red from crying.
Huo Shaoheng took out a tissue and patiently wiped her tears. He said, "Go in and take a look. Can't you go in?"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She turned around and placed her palm on the fingerprint lock at Lu Jin's door.
Lu Jin's fingerprint lock had Gu Nianzhi's palm print stored in it, so she could open his door.
The door opened with a click, revealing the familiar living room.
For the past few months, she had almost treated this place as her second home.
Walking in, everything in the room was still the same as when Lu Jin had lived there. However, without the owner, the place inevitably felt desolate.
The loneliness in the midst of the beautiful flowers was the most deadly desolation.
Gu Nianzhi looked around and didn't give up. She rushed to the secret door of Lu Jin's laboratory and opened it. The lights in the laboratory lit up.
A few beams of light shone down from the roof, and Lu Jin's holographic image gradually took shape.
"Nianzhi, my daughter, you're finally here." Lu Jin's holographic image looked at his watch. "You spent … time to find me."
Gu Nianzhi's tears had almost dried up. She wiped her face with the back of her hand and shouted, "Dad! Don't be like this! I know you're still alive! You're not dead! Don't make it sound like your last words! I won't believe it! I won't believe a word of it! "
Although she said "I don't believe it", she fell into panic when she saw the holographic image that was exactly the same as Gu Xiangwen's.
They were counterparts. Would the life trajectories of the counterparts be the same?
Would Lu Jin die in the resistance like Gu Xiangwen?
Gu Nianzhi's legs went limp, and she sat on the floor of the laboratory. She looked up at the holographic image and muttered, "Dad, what are you doing? Tell me and I'll help you … "
Huo Shaoheng couldn't bear to watch. He bent down to pull her up and said, "Stop crying. Let's think of a way to find where your father is."
Lu Yuan said that he had gone abroad, but he wasn't sure which country he had gone to.
Huo Shaoheng still wanted to analyze Lu Jin's possible whereabouts with Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi stared at the holographic image of Lu Jin in front of her. Seeing that "he" seemed to hesitate for a moment, her heart skipped a beat.
She immediately thought of the urgent text message He Zhichu had received, asking him to come and save her …
In that case, Lu Jin hadn't completely cut off contact with this side, right?
Forget it, she had nothing to lose. She would take one last gamble!
Huo Shaoheng bent down and held Gu Nianzhi's arm. “
Gu Nianzhi grabbed Huo Shaoheng's hand and shouted at the holographic image, "Dad! Did you see that? He's not Peter! He's Huo Shaoheng! It's Huo Shaoheng over there! He's my fiancé! No! He's not my fiancé! We got married a long time ago! "
Huo Shaoheng gradually froze.
He maintained his posture of bending over to pull Gu Nianzhi, his face expressionless.
His profile was illuminated by the projector lights on the roof. His handsome silhouette was a masterpiece created by the creator with his blood and sweat.
Gu Nianzhi held Huo Shaoheng's hand and raised it. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Dad! Did you see that? He's already my husband! But I don't have a wedding! "
"Everyone else has a wedding, but I don't …"
"Do you know why?"
"Because I don't have a father to take me down the red carpet. I don't have a father to hand me over to my husband at the wedding …"
"I'm an orphan, an orphan without parents … I don't deserve a wedding … I don't want a wedding in my life …"
"When I have a baby in the future, I'll tell him that your mother doesn't have a wedding because your grandfather doesn't want her and doesn't want to hand her over to her husband at the wedding …"
An empty wedding and a cute baby. Gu Nianzhi used moving words to describe a beautiful and tragic scene to Lu Jin's holographic image.
Lu Jin, who was far away in New York, saw this scene through his computer. He couldn't take it anymore.
His excited and manic voice came through the 3D holographic image. "Nianzhi! You're really married?! Did this guy lie to you?! How dare he marry my daughter without giving her a grand wedding? Who gave him the guts?! Just you wait! If I don't chop him up, my surname isn't Lu! "
