Lu Yuan saw that Gu Nianzhi had a clue, so he stood up and said, "Then I won't disturb you anymore. Get ready."
After Lu Yuan left, Gu Nianzhi spent the whole night writing the complaint and supplementing the evidence she wanted to submit.
After carefully checking all the materials, it was already dawn outside.
The morning light shone through the gap in the curtains. The study facing the south was shimmering, and it shone on Gu Nianzhi's pretty face, which had been up all night.
However, she wasn't tired at all. Instead, she was full of energy, as if she had gotten plenty of rest and sleep.
She could be said to be excited, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, like the pink in the most delicate rose's heart.
Gu Nianzhi read the complaint from beginning to end again, then took out her phone to call He Zhichu.
She wanted to ask He Zhichu to go to the Procuratorate with her to submit the complaint.
In the past, she wouldn't have bothered to do such a thing, but this time was special. She needed to get the Procuratorate to approve her complaint as soon as possible, and at the same time, get the court to accept her complaint and file the case.
Because murder was a criminal case, if she wanted to seek criminal punishment for Qin Yaoguang, she would have to get the Procuratorate to prosecute her.
An individual could only file a civil compensation lawsuit against Qin Yaoguang related to murder, and could not directly file a criminal lawsuit.
The phone rang a few times, but no one picked up.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. It seemed to be too early. It was only five in the morning.
The Procuratorate started work at eight o 'clock, but He Zhichu still needed time to read through the complaint and the evidence she had collected. It would take at least two to three hours, so Gu Nianzhi knew that it was too early to disturb He Zhichu, but she still braced herself and called him a few times.
He Zhichu still didn't pick up.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and dialed He Zhichu's office's landline.
There was someone on duty 24 hours a day. Even if He Zhichu didn't pick up personally, his operator, his orderly, and his personal secretary would pick up.
As expected, someone picked up the phone very quickly and asked politely, "Hello, may I know who you are? Why are you looking for our chief? I'll record it down and give it to him when he comes to work. "
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "Sorry to trouble you. I'm Gu Nianzhi. I have an urgent matter to discuss with Major General He Zhichu. Can you please wake him up now? It's really urgent! "
The person who answered the phone was He Zhichu's orderly. He immediately said, "Okay, I'll help you wake up the Chief now."
He knew how important Gu Nianzhi was to He Zhichu. Although they had already broken off the engagement, He Zhichu still instructed them to inform him immediately if Miss Gu wanted to see him.
Therefore, everyone in the He residence treated Gu Nianzhi with respect.
The orderly arrived at He Zhichu's bedroom and rang the doorbell.
After a while, Xie Qingying opened the door.
She was wearing a tight long-sleeved nightgown and asked with sleepy eyes, "What's wrong? What's the matter? It's only five in the morning. "
The orderly politely said, "Miss Xie, please call the chief. Miss Gu has something urgent to talk to him about."
Pausing for a moment, he added, "… It's urgent."
Xie Qingying: "…"
She poked her head out to look. "Gu Nianzhi? She's here? Where is it? "
"Miss Gu didn't come. She called the chief's office."
Xie Qingying nodded. "Got it. I'll ask the chief to call her back."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Miss Xie." The orderly saluted her.
Xie Qingying smiled faintly. "It's my duty."
Closing the suite door, Xie Qingying looked down at He Zhichu's phone in her hand.
She couldn't open this phone, but she could still answer calls.
Gu Nianzhi had called He Zhichu's phone several times just now, but He Zhichu hadn't woken up. Xie Qingying had woken up. She saw that He Zhichu had only returned at two in the morning yesterday and was too tired to wake him up. He had only slept for three hours, so she couldn't bear to wake him up.
She hadn't expected Gu Nianzhi to call He Zhichu's office again. Was there really something urgent?
Xie Qingying pondered whether to wake He Zhichu up.
Just as she was walking to the bedroom, He Zhichu's phone rang again.
Perhaps Gu Nianzhi had called at the right time. The orderly must have told her that He Zhichu would call her back on his phone. She couldn't wait, so she called again.
Xie Qingying picked up the phone and said softly, "Is this Nianzhi? I'm Cousin Qingying. "
Gu Nianzhi was slightly taken aback, and her face quickly turned red. She said embarrassedly, "Cousin Xie? Can you let Young Master He answer the phone? I have something urgent to talk to him about. "
"Okay, he's still sleeping. He only came back at two in the morning yesterday and only slept for three hours. I'm sorry for what happened just now. I wanted to let him sleep a little longer and call you back at work. "Xie Qingying said with a smile, but there wasn't much apology in her tone.
Gu Nianzhi also knew that she was in the wrong for calling someone at five in the morning, so she quickly said, "Cousin Xie, I'm sorry. This is the last time. I really have something urgent to talk to you about. I won't call Young Master He so early in the future. "
As long as she could file a case immediately, Gu Nianzhi really didn't need He Zhichu's power anymore.
Her only wish here was to clear the name of Qin Suwen's family.
Xie Qingying smiled and said gently, "I know. If it wasn't for something urgent, Cousin Nianzhi wouldn't have disturbed us so early."
Xie Qingying pushed He Zhichu and said, "Young Master He, there's a phone call. It's urgent."
He Zhichu was indeed very sleepy. He had been interrogating that person yesterday, but that person's knowledge was really limited. There wasn't much information that could be obtained, and there was no new information.
After being woken up by Xie Qingying, He Zhichu was a little grumpy. He turned his head childishly and hugged his pillow. "… I'm not answering!"
Xie Qingying found it funny. Her eyes curved as she held back her laughter and continued to push him. "It's Nianzhi's call. You're not answering?"
He Zhichu instantly woke up. He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table and frowned. "Give me the phone. It must be urgent to call so early."
Xie Qingying handed the phone over and said considerately, "I'll go to the kitchen to make breakfast for you. Wake up early and see what's going on with Cousin Nianzhi."
She was indeed a little unhappy, but she knew the severity of the matter.
Gu Nianzhi must have had something urgent to do to look for He Zhichu. She could understand that.
After Xie Qingying left, He Zhichu wiped his face and picked up the phone. He asked, "Nianzhi, what's wrong? What happened? "
Gu Nianzhi had heard the entire conversation between Xie Qingying and He Zhichu. She was a little embarrassed, as if she had peeped into someone else's privacy. Her face burned as she stammered, "Um … Young Master He … I've finished my complaint. I wanted to ask if you were free today. We'll send the complaint in as soon as the Procuratorate opens in the morning."
"Young Master He, do you want to read the complaint first and then come with me to the Procuratorate and court?"
This was the first time Gu Nianzhi had "gone through the back door". She asked with trepidation, afraid that He Zhichu wouldn't be willing.
Fortunately, He Zhichu wasn't unwilling. He agreed immediately and said as he put on his clothes, "I'll be right there. Don't worry. There's no car on the road now. I'll drive to your place in 15 minutes."
Gu Nianzhi quickly nodded and thanked him. "Okay, thank you, Young Master He. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll go make you a sandwich. "
The kind of sandwich that only needed to be heated in the microwave was one of the few foods she could make.
He Zhichu grunted. He didn't care much about what he ate.
After putting on his clothes, he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. Then he came out with his car keys.
In the living room downstairs, he met Xie Qingying, who had just come out of the kitchen. She was holding a tray of food in her hand.
When she saw He Zhichu coming downstairs, she quickly said, "Young Master He, have some breakfast before you leave."
He Zhichu waved his hand. "It's too late. I'll go to Nianzhi's place to eat."
With that, he left without looking back.
Xie Qingying looked at the food on her tray and smiled bitterly. She shook her head and sent the food back to the kitchen.
She said to the orderlies in the kitchen, "Sorry to trouble you, but Young Master He has already gone out. You guys can share this breakfast. It's all freshly made. It's clean and no one has touched it. "
"You're welcome, Miss Xie." A few orderlies in the kitchen quickly thanked her and happily took the tray to eat.
Xie Qingying had no appetite at all. She went upstairs to get her bag and left the He family's house.
It was a summer morning in the imperial capital. The air was still very fresh and cool, and there were not many cars on the road.
Xie Qingying drove alone, wondering what was going on with Gu Nianzhi.
She regretted suggesting that she go with He Zhichu to take a look.
With He Zhichu's current status, it was not appropriate for him to appear directly.
Actually, she could help He Zhichu do things. That way, even if something went wrong, he could blame it on her and not make things difficult for He Zhichu.
As Xie Qingying thought about it, she turned the steering wheel and drove back. At the same time, she called He Zhichu to ask if she could go over to see Gu Nianzhi with him.
