Lu Jin looked at Gu Nianzhi with his mouth agape. For the first time, he realized that his threat didn't work.
Not only did it not work, but Gu Nianzhi had a new way to force him back.
Lu Jin became anxious, and his facial features scrunched up. He said to Gu Nianzhi in an almost pleading tone, "Nianzhi, I beg you, don't mention this again … I'm doing very well now, and I don't want to go back to Gu Xiangwen's era. Actually, Gu Xiangwen isn't as good as you think. He also did something wrong, so he used his life to make up for it. "
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "Dad, why don't you tell me in detail what happened at that time?"
Lu Jin shook his head desperately. "I can't say it, I can't say it … Nianzhi, I can't say it."
"You can't?" Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. "You don't want to say it, right? Is there anything else I don't know? "
"There are a lot of things you don't know." Lu Jin became serious. "When I set up the joint laboratory with Qin Yaoguang, I did a lot of illegal things to give birth to you. Do you want to hear all of them?"
Gu Nianzhi quickly made a "pause" gesture. "Stop, stop. Dad, it's fine if you don't want to tell me. I'll find a way to find out the truth about Qin Suwen's death."
"The truth is that she died because of me. If you really want to uncover this matter, you'll have to step over my dead body." Lu Jin saw that surrendering himself wouldn't make Gu Nianzhi stop, so he had no choice but to use his strongest move.
Gu Nianzhi was slightly stunned. She didn't understand why Lu Jin wouldn't allow her to mention Qin Suwen's death. However, Lu Yuan understood Lu Jin's mentality a little.
He coughed lightly and said, "Nianzhi, don't worry. Let's go back and think about it."
Gu Nianzhi suppressed the doubts in her heart and nodded. "Okay, President Lu. We'll discuss it when we get back."
When they returned to the apartment building where they lived, Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin, who was returning to his apartment with a gloomy expression. She looked at Lu Yuan thoughtfully.
Lu Yuan nodded at her. "Come with me."
Lu Yuan took her to his apartment.
There were three apartments on this floor, all of which were bought by Lu Yuan and Lu Jin.
Lu Yuan's own apartment was very distinctive. All the decorations were very standard. There was nothing particularly outstanding, nor was there anything particularly ugly. It was a very common decoration and furnishings. After a glance, people would have no impression of it at all. It was just like their own house. After looking at it for a long time, they would become numb.
He had the ability to "fade into the crowd".
Gu Nianzhi sat down in Lu Yuan's living room. Seeing Lu Yuan sitting opposite her, she asked in a low voice, "CEO Lu, do you know what's going on?" Lu Yuan recalled what had happened at that time, and there was still a look of pity on his face. He wiped his face with his hand and said very gently, "That was more than ten years ago. I'm not very clear about it, but I was already here at that time, so I still know a little bit about it."
Gu Nianzhi perked up and quickly said, "President Lu, please tell me. It doesn't matter if it's just a little information. I just want to know how my father was blamed for Qin Suwen's death."
"Your father, to be precise, started as a material witness in this case. Because the last person Qin Suwen saw before she died was your father. "
"After He Chengjian reported the case, the police wanted your father to assist in the investigation. In the end, he immediately fled to my place and asked me if there was any way he could escape the police's pursuit."
"It was because he escaped that the police upgraded him from an important witness to an important suspect and increased the intensity of his arrest."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless. After being depressed for a long time, she said, "He didn't kill her. Why did he escape?"
"Your father has always insisted that Qin Suwen's death had something to do with him. All these years, he has been doing all kinds of things to atone for his sins."
"He once said that he wouldn't investigate anything. He would let these things sink to the bottom of the sea with the 'loss' of some of the documents.
"The 'loss' of the documents? What's going on? What kind of documents are they? "Gu Nianzhi quickly asked. She had already automatically entered lawyer mode.
Lu Yuan tilted his head and thought for a moment. He said, "I actually don't know what exactly happened, and I didn't ask."
"Since he came to join me, I invited him to do business with me and gave him shares."
"But Lu Jin quit after one day of work. He said that he was still suitable for scientific research."
"Later, I asked him to be the boss behind the scenes. I asked him to invest in technology and start an online security company with me."
"His technology was too advanced. I gave him more than half of the shares in the hope that I could keep him."
Gu Nianzhi listened with relish, but even after Lu Yuan finished, Gu Nianzhi didn't hear the reason she wanted to hear. She couldn't help asking, "Why would my father rather bear the reputation of an important suspect than bring up Qin Suwen's case again?"
"Qin Suwen died suddenly. There's no doubt about that," Lu Yuan said firmly. Lu Yuan said firmly, "Your father isn't someone who likes to do things casually, so if he says that he did something, then he must have done it."
"That's not necessarily true." Gu Nianzhi leaned back on the sofa disapprovingly. "He once told me that he wasn't my father."
Lu Yuan: "…"
This sentence was really hard to wash away.
Lu Yuan's teeth hurt. In the end, he could only brace himself and say, "Your father thought that you couldn't acknowledge each other, so he didn't admit his true identity."
"It's fine now. What else can't he say?" Gu Nianzhi asked in confusion. "Is it because I might be his and Qin Suwen's biological daughter?"
Lu Yuan looked away awkwardly and said, "This matter is still in the guessing stage, right? Do you have evidence to prove that you're Qin Suwen's biological daughter? "
Gu Nianzhi laughed. "Of course I have evidence, and actually, we only need to verify the DNA to confirm the paternity."
"But you also know that my DNA is rather special."
"Young Master He, Young Master Huo, and my father spent so much effort to hide my DNA. I can't take the risk of exposing this matter again."
Lu Yuan nodded in relief. "It's good that you know. Then how do you plan to fight this lawsuit?"
Gu Nianzhi shrugged nonchalantly. "This case has actually already been filed in court, and it's still valid."
Lu Yuan didn't know much about the law, but he smiled and looked at Gu Nianzhi as she talked nonstop. Like a kind elder, he asked softly, "After so many years, hasn't the retroactive period passed yet?"
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "This is a criminal case. If a human life is involved, there's no retroactive period. In other words, as long as the case isn't solved, it can't be closed. It can only stay in the 'cold palace'. "
Lu Yuan nodded. "It's good that there's no retroactive period. Otherwise, if Qin Suwen was murdered, the murderer would get away with it."
Speaking of this, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help complaining, "This person is so lucky. He actually has someone like my father as a scapegoat."
She waved her arm. "If I find out who he is, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"
"The law will make them pay," Lu Yuan reminded her. "But now you insist that Qin Yaoguang is the murderer. Have you thought of how to convince the court to accept your argument?"
"That's why I need dad's help. Only if he gives me the most detailed clues can I think of a way to restore the truth. "
Lu Jin also felt uneasy. He wanted to talk to Lu Yuan and ask him to help him or think of a way to deal with Gu Nianzhi.
He didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to be one step ahead of him and come to Lu Yuan's place to ask questions.
Lu Jin listened silently at the door, and Lu Yuan didn't stop him. Gu Nianzhi sat with her back to the door and didn't know Lu Jin had come.
It wasn't until he heard Gu Nianzhi say that she wanted to restore the truth of the past that Lu Jin said, "I was the one who directly caused Qin Suwen's death. Nianzhi, what truth do you want to hear?"
"Dad, are you willing to tell me?!" Gu Nianzhi was surprised and delighted. She got up from the sofa and ran over to Lu Jin to hold his hand.
Lu Jin's hand was cold. Gu Nianzhi was shocked and quickly said, "Dad, can you sit down?"
Lu Jin pushed her hand away and frowned. "What exactly do you want? I said this has nothing to do with Qin Yaoguang … "
"How can you say it has nothing to do with her?!" Gu Nianzhi was finally angry. She took out her phone and found the photo of Qin Suwen when she was a child. She handed it to Lu Jin and said in a low voice, "Then explain why Qin Suwen's photo when she was a child looks so much like me!"
"And why did Qin Yaoguang do plastic surgery to look like Qin Suwen?!"
