He Zhichu's heart instantly tightened, and even his breathing stopped.
He gripped the tissue Gu Nianzhi had used to wipe her tears tightly. He raised his arm and froze there like a statue. There was no expression on his face, and his sparkling almond-shaped eyes were as calm as the water in an ancient well.
Gu Nianzhi waited for a while, but when He Zhichu still didn't speak, she began to feel awkward. Did He Zhichu think the same?
It was no wonder.
If her parents, who were very loving in her eyes, suddenly had a child with an outsider, even though she knew it wasn't the child's fault, she would still feel very uncomfortable.
She was forcing He Zhichu to ask him this.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and slowly let go of He Zhichu's sleeve. She looked up at He Zhichu and forced a smile. "Young Master He, don't take it to heart. I was just making an analogy. It has nothing to do with your mother. I shouldn't have spoken nonsense. "
Tears were about to fall from her bright eyes. They were like pearls, the first flowers of a strange flower. She was indescribably beautiful.
He Zhichu's heart, which had almost jumped out of his throat, gradually returned to normal.
He saw that Gu Nianzhi was still forcing a smile at a time like this, and his eyes were a little bitter. His other hand fell and pressed down on the back of her neck. He slowly pulled her into his arms and said coldly, "Don't lie to yourself. You and I both know what's going on."
He lowered his head and kissed Gu Nianzhi's forehead. "Nianzhi, do you know? Why was my mother opposed to using human reproduction for genetic experiments? It was because she considered that people were different. Everyone had their own emotions and dignity. Genetic experiments used to be carried out on animals and plants. At most, the human body was cultivated with human organs and tissues. Using genetic experiments to cultivate a living person … The price was too high. She had always been firmly against it. "
Gu Nianzhi's tears welled up again. She tried her best to hold them back and nodded gently. "I know. Lawyer Qin is a very outstanding and perfect woman. Her reputation is flawless. Those who like her and respect her will protect her. I was wrong. "
"Don't say that. My mother is a very brave person who faces reality head-on. If she knew that you were her biological daughter, even if you were born without her knowledge, she would never think of you as a disgrace. She would only make those who gave birth to you pay the price. "
Gu Nianzhi buried her head in thought for a while. She would love to see Qin Yaoguang pay the price.
But Lu Jin …
Although she said that she didn't want him to be her father, she still didn't want anything to happen to him.
Gu Nianzhi broke free from He Zhichu's embrace and sat up straight. She smoothed the sweaty hair on her forehead and said in a low voice, "I believe that Qin Yaoguang has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter."
Gu Nianzhi looked up and said with a determined expression, "Young Master He, I want to sue Qin Yaoguang for murdering Qin Suwen. Will you help me?"
He Zhichu was shocked and blurted out, "What did you say?! Qin Yaoguang murdered my mother?! Impossible! "
"Why not? Do you still think my father did it? " Gu Nianzhi said stubbornly, "You know he's not that kind of person. He would never hurt your mother."
"No, no, no, I don't think your father is the murderer either." He Zhichu clenched his fists. "Actually, no one is the murderer. My mother died suddenly because there was something wrong with her body. My father put your father on the wanted list just to find out what happened. He didn't say that he was the murderer. "
It was only because Gu Xiangwen escaped that he was upgraded to a suspect.
He Zhichu couldn't bear to say this because he was afraid that Gu Nianzhi would be even more upset.
Gu Nianzhi had already found out about what happened that year from Lu Jin, although Lu Jin still refused to tell her about his last meeting.
"Yes, I know this was the result of what happened that year. But your mother's life experience and the death of your grandparents are all related to the Qin family. Don't you want to find out the truth? "
He Zhichu nodded. "Of course I do. I'm interrogating that person … "
He was talking about the person Gu Nianzhi had found in C City. It was said that he was an old friend of Qin Suwen's father.
"It's not enough to just interrogate that person." Gu Nianzhi's eyes were dark, and her dark eyes were bottomless. "He might just be a lackey. Even if he says everything, we can't touch the Qin family at all. Our breakthrough should be Qin Yaoguang. Also … "
Gu Nianzhi smiled faintly. "Didn't the US government and Congress cry out for Qin Yaoguang? Let's show the Americans what kind of person they're cheering for! "
He Zhichu understood. "You mean, a public trial?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded heavily. "My case and your case can't be tried in public, but what about the case of your mother's sudden death? I remember General He said that the case hasn't been closed yet, right? "
He Zhichu's mind was in turmoil as he thought about this possibility.
Personally, he didn't want his mother, who had passed away for so many years, to be pushed into the teeth of the storm again.
Once the trial was held in public, who knew how many dirty things the Qin family would do to protect themselves.
Qin Suwen had already passed away, so she wouldn't even have a chance to defend herself.
However, he also knew that if he could find a breakthrough and hold a public trial of Qin Yaoguang, not only would it shut the mouths of the Americans, but it would also reverse the public opinion in the country and calm the people down so that everyone wouldn't panic and worry.
Other than making him and his father, He Chengjian, uncomfortable, it would also make the Qin family panic. It would only be good for others and wouldn't be bad.
He looked down at Gu Nianzhi's aggrieved little eyes and reached out to pat her head. "… Okay. But my father will wake up in five days. Are you confident that you can find evidence to prosecute Qin Yaoguang within five days? "
If he really wanted to sue Qin Yaoguang for murdering Qin Suwen, of course he couldn't just have an idea.
Whether the court could accept this case or not depended on the evidence submitted by the procuratorate to decide whether to file the case.
The procuratorate's evidence was all obtained from the police station.
After so many years, the evidence from the police station had long been handed over to his father, He Chengjian, for safekeeping. However, the problem was that none of the evidence pointed to Qin Yaoguang.
It would be extremely difficult for them to sue Qin Yaoguang for murder.
Gu Nianzhi nodded without hesitation. "As long as Young Master He agrees, I'll squeeze oil out of a stone for her! I'm just looking for evidence. I don't believe that the Qin family didn't leave any clues after doing so many things to your grandfather! "
"There are clues, but does this have anything to do with Qin Yaoguang murdering my mother?" He Zhichu corrected her calmly. "Is there a connection between the Qin family buying my grandfather's land and my mother's sudden death decades later?"
"Maybe." Gu Nianzhi thought to herself, I'm sorry this time. I'll give you the "presumption of guilt".
"Maybe?" He Zhichu's expression became indifferent and extremely calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him and his family. "What did I teach you in the past? When you go to court, you can't use uncertain words like 'maybe', 'probably', and 'might be'. You have to speak in the language of the law. "
"And the language of the law is the most precise, comprehensive, and logical."
Gu Nianzhi nodded thoughtfully. "I understand. Young Master He, anyway, as long as you understand that I'm not trying to humiliate your mother, I can start looking for evidence. "
He Zhichu sighed softly and finally said, "… and your mother."
Gu Nianzhi suddenly looked up, her clear eyes filled with disbelief. "Young Master He?! You really don't mind?! "
He Zhichu touched her face. "I can't be happier to have a sister like you. Why would I mind? Even if my mother knew about this when she was still alive, she definitely wouldn't be unhappy. "
After a pause, He Zhichu continued, "Actually, when you came to my house, my mother was the one who personally brought you here."
"In the beginning, you didn't like to see the light, see people, or talk."
"It was my mother who put down her work and took a six-month long vacation. She stayed at home with you every day and slept in the same room with you at night. In the middle of the night, when you woke up from nightmares, she would hug you and comfort you."
"She would wake you up in the morning, comb your hair, wash your face, cook you delicious food, talk to you tirelessly, read you stories, and tell you about the outside world."
"She would take you on a trip, see the beautiful scenery around the world, and find many children to play games with you."
"Nianzhi, although she didn't know that you were her biological daughter at that time, she did more for you than a biological mother."
