Gu Nianzhi was too tired.
After coming down from the court, she was extremely nervous and exhausted, but also very excited.
When she got home, she was tormented by Huo Shaoheng until it was dark. Even her body was extremely tired.
After Huo Shaoheng left, she fell into a deep sleep and didn't even dream.
When she opened her eyes, it was already the next morning.
Lu Jin waited for Gu Nianzhi to settle the score with him. After waiting all night, he fell asleep on the sofa alone. He didn't see Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi sat up from the bed and rubbed her almost broken waist. She gritted her teeth and cursed Huo Shaoheng under her breath, "… His stamina is so good. He's really inhuman!"
However, thinking that he might not have done that for more than a year, she could forgive him.
However, the situation yesterday was really … not suitable for children.
Gu Nianzhi didn't even dare to think about it now. She wished she could pack up all those charming and crazy memories in a box and stuff them into a small dark room and lock them up.
She leaned against the headboard, one arm over her head, and the corners of her lips curled up high.
After lying comfortably for a while, she got out of bed with her hands on her waist and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The rose essential oil formula that Lu Jin had specially concocted for her was very relieving. She dripped some into the massage bathtub and lay in it to rest with her eyes closed.
When she came out of the shower, she felt that her stomach was rumbling with hunger. Even her throat was burning with hunger.
Gu Nianzhi quickly changed into the home clothes she wore at home. Without hesitation, she ran to Lu Yuan's door and knocked. She said loudly, "President Lu, are you there? I'm hungry! "
Lu Yuan happened to be cooking breakfast in the kitchen, while Lu Jin sat on the sofa in a daze. He was still wondering if he should go see Gu Nianzhi.
Since she came back yesterday … she hadn't come out again.
Lu Jin had checked the surveillance cameras but hadn't seen her go downstairs.
As soon as he heard Gu Nianzhi's soft voice coming through the intercom, Lu Jin immediately jumped up with a smile and ran to open the door. "Nianzhi, you're awake? Hungry, right? What do you want to eat? Boss Lu can cook anything! "
He let Gu Nianzhi in as if to please her and took her to the kitchen to meet Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan turned around and looked at her with a smile. "Where's Shaoheng?"
Gu Nianzhi blushed and twisted her earlobe uncomfortably. She pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I don't know? How would I know where Huo Shao went? Did he go back to the embassy? "
"Then please give him a call and ask him if he wants to come back for lunch." Lu Yuan looked at his watch. "Actually, it's not breakfast time now, but do you want to have breakfast or wait for lunch together later?"
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "Please give me something to fill my stomach first, then we can have lunch together!"
"You wish." Lu Yuan poked Gu Nianzhi humorously. "But, sure! Your performance in court yesterday was brilliant! Uncle will cook something delicious for you today to reward our Great Lawyer Gu! — — Go to the dining room and wait. I'll cook you a bowl of shepherd's purse, shrimp, and fresh meat wonton that I made yesterday. I'm sure you'll love it. "
Gu Nianzhi returned to the dining room with a smile and sat down, waiting to eat the small wontons that Lu Yuan had personally made.
Seeing that she was fine, Lu Jin was in a good mood and forgot what Lu Yuan had said yesterday.
He busied himself by Gu Nianzhi's side, warming milk for her and bringing small muffins for her. He placed them neatly on a small plate and brought them over.
The plate of muffins was pushed in front of Gu Nianzhi. Gu Nianzhi looked up and saw Lu Jin's widening smile.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly remembered what had happened yesterday. Her face darkened and she said, "Dad, you haven't told me clearly. When did you get that video surveillance? You've kept it from us! "
Lu Jin cursed under his breath. As expected, he still had to "settle the score". He immediately took a step back reflexively and turned to escape.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Huo Shaoheng standing at the door with one hand about to ring the doorbell.
Gu Nianzhi had already rushed over and shouted, "Stop him! He wants to run again! "
Huo Shaoheng quickly put one hand on Lu Jin's shoulder and strode in. He closed the door and locked it. He pulled out the key from the door and put it in his pocket.
Gu Nianzhi clenched her hands into fists, her face full of anger. She looked at Lu Jin and said, "Dad, aren't you tired?! This again! "
Lu Jin: "…"
Why did she say "again" again?
"Dad, don't pretend with me." When Gu Nianzhi saw that Huo Shaoheng had returned, she became bolder and spoke more confidently. "Dad, don't even think about running away this time! From the moment you sent me that surveillance video, you should have thought of a follow-up reason. How could I not ask about such an obvious loophole? Then why am I still a lawyer? I'll just go home and get married and have children. "
"Getting married and having children is good!" Lu Jin couldn't help but add, but when he saw Gu Nianzhi's big eyes gradually widening, he quickly changed his words. "Nianzhi, don't be angry. I'm not running … I'm … I'm … I didn't react in time, it was a reflex …"
"You know, I'm used to running."
Lu Jin spoke very seriously and without any falsehood.
Gu Nianzhi's heart immediately ached.
She thought about how Lu Jin had been hiding and hiding for so many years. Although he was considered successful in his career, he had always been using a fake identity. It was really not easy.
Gu Nianzhi's expression softened. She stepped forward to hold Lu Jin's arm and accompanied him back to the dining room to sit down.
There was already a bowl of clear shepherd's purse, shrimp, and fresh meat wontons in front of her seat. There were also some finely chopped shallots and coriander sprinkled on it. The smell was appetizing.
As Gu Nianzhi ate the wontons, she stared at Lu Jin and asked him to tell the truth.
Lu Jin scratched his head. He knew that Gu Nianzhi wouldn't be easy to deal with.
Moreover, there were two great gods, Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng, eyeing them covetously. He had to say it even if he didn't want to.
Lu Jin took a sip of coffee and rubbed his brows. He said with a headache, "What do you want to say? Didn't I tell you everything? I sent you the surveillance video. "
"Dad, don't interrupt. Tell me honestly, when did you get your hands on this video? "
Lu Jin looked up at the pure white ceiling in the dining room. He didn't dare look Gu Nianzhi in the eye and said unhappily, "I found it recently. Because you've always wanted to pin the murder on Qin Yaoguang's bald head, I wanted to help you find evidence. It just so happened that Qin Baye sent someone to Qin Yaoguang's secret laboratory to retrieve something. I found out by chance, so I installed a remote surveillance device on that person and discovered the secret laboratory. "
Gu Nianzhi frowned. "Did you really find it recently?"
If it had really been found recently, then it could explain why Lu Jin had only been on the run and hadn't cleared himself of the "murder suspicion".
Lu Yuan chuckled from the side. "You still know how to install remote surveillance. You didn't follow them directly. You're smart."
He lazily picked up a newspaper and shook it open. He said casually, "If you had followed them directly, you would have become Qin Baye's hostage by now. Shaoheng and I would have had to rack our brains to save you."
"Am I that stupid?" Lu Jin rolled his eyes. "Even He Chengjian can't catch me. Who does Qin Baye think he is?!"
Huo Shaoheng said, "Qin Baye is still very smart. I heard that the Qin Baye that He Chengjian caught in court was fake. The real Qin Baye has already escaped. "
Gu Nianzhi's attention was immediately diverted. She put down her spoon in surprise. "That Qin Baye is a substitute?! How long has he been preparing a substitute? "
"I don't know about that." Huo Shaoheng spread out his hands. "I only overheard it when Young Master He was on the phone. I don't know the details. But I heard it's very difficult to catch up. Young Master He is discussing with his father whether to use the army. "
"If He Chengjian can't even deal with Qin Baye, he should resign and commit suicide to atone for his crimes." Lu Yuan flipped through a page of the newspaper and didn't seem too worried.
Gu Nianzhi was extremely worried. "How could we let him get away?! How many times have I hinted! Why didn't General He and Young Master He take it to heart?! "
"You can't blame them for that." Lu Yuan said from behind the newspaper, "I can only say that Qin Baye and Qin Yaoguang are too good at pretending. What they've done, they've even hidden it from their own people. "
"They're so secretive. They're up to something," Gu Nianzhi said faintly. "The Qin family has been working for the Lorraine family in the United States for almost a hundred years."
"Lorraine won't ignore him, right?"
"Of course not. He even urged the United States Congress to get Qin Yaoguang out of the country at the cost of a trade war." Lu Yuan scoffed. "Fortunately, your father's video surveillance slapped them in the face and made the United States Congress quickly give up on Qin Yaoguang."
"This way, Lorraine can't ignore Qin Baye."
"After all, Qin Yaoguang is currently under Young Master He's most strict supervision. It's very difficult for Lorraine's hand to reach in."
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. "Lorraine can't ignore Qin Baye? — — Then can we speculate that Qin Baye's escape this time was definitely led by Lorraine?! "
Lu Yuan, Lu Jin, and Huo Shaoheng all looked at Gu Nianzhi.
"… What do you mean?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly and gently tapped the edge of the white porcelain bowl with a spoon. She said softly, "Why does Lorraine protect Qin Baye? Does she really have feelings for him? Actually, it's all for Qin Yaoguang's experiments over the years. "
"Dad just said that Qin Baye sent someone to Qin Yaoguang's secret laboratory not long ago and took away her experimental data, as well as some of her samples."
"I'm guessing that he must have made a deal with Lorraine in exchange for these data and samples."
"So what Lorraine values is actually only perfect genes." Gu Nianzhi's pure black eyes darted around as she said with a smile, "If that's the case, why didn't General He take the high-level route and contact Lorraine directly?"
Huo Shaoheng was the first to understand. His eyes suddenly lit up as he said, "… Do you mean to let General He use Qin Yaoguang to trade with Lorraine in exchange for Qin Baye's whereabouts?"
Since Lorraine only valued perfect genes.
And this time, their live broadcast of the trial had already convinced the whole world that Qin Yaoguang was the only one with the true perfect genes!
Now, almost all the spies from all over the world had come to the imperial capital of the Huaxia Empire to obtain information and whereabouts about Qin Yaoguang.
Lorraine didn't need to say anything. He knew that Wen Shouyi's genes weren't perfect enough. Now that he had Qin Yaoguang, his credibility was even higher.
"You're worth teaching!" Gu Nianzhi giggled and reached out to pat Huo Shaoheng's cheek.
Huo Shaoheng held her mischievous hand and smiled faintly. "… Do you still want to be taught a lesson?"
Gu Nianzhi's face turned red again.
She was actually like her father, always remembering punishments but not beatings …
"You guys eat first. I'll go find Young Master He." Huo Shaoheng stood up and said calmly, "Since Qin Baye is so cunning, I'll go see if I can help."

This was the first update of the day: Chapter 1894, "Big Plans".
A reminder for monthly votes and recommendation votes ~ ~ ~
There would be a second update at 8 pm.
PS: A relative said that it wasn't scientific. He asked Little He Zhichu in the other world why he also had a genetic defect. There didn't seem to be Qin Yaoguang there …
So, he looked at the back and forgot about the front?
He remembered that the relatives of the He and Gu families in the other world had encountered each other. Could they help explain? ← _ ←
Muah, all the big shots and little angels ~ ~ ~
