Gu Nianzhi didn't take the bait at all. She said slyly, "That's okay. I'll inform him after my mourning period ends in six months. I don't care if I wait another six months or a year."
Counting from now, he would have to wait for another year or a year and a half.
"But I care." Huo Shaoheng patted her little face and patiently battled with her. "Nianzhi, do you really not want to marry me sooner?"
"… We're already living together now. Is there any difference between being married or not?" Gu Nianzhi said slowly. "Can't you wait another year or a year and a half?"
Of course not.
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and had no choice but to use his last resort: "Save the country in a roundabout way."
Without batting an eyelid, he continued to hug Gu Nianzhi in his arms and coax her. Seeing that she still wouldn't let go, he finally seemed to give up and said, "Fine. Actually, I was planning to kill two birds with one stone and use our marriage to spread the news and attract the attention of all parties."
Gu Nianzhi blinked. "What do you mean? Whose attention? "
Huo Shaoheng smiled faintly. He was no longer in a hurry to get married. He said calmly, "It's nothing. Since you don't agree, I'll think of something else."
"You did it on purpose!" Gu Nianzhi grabbed his collar and looked up to see his Adam's apple protruding. She leaned over to kiss it and felt his entire body tense up. She finally laughed and said, "Hurry up and say it clearly. There's a lot more to it! Otherwise, hmph! "
"I won't tell you, even if you beat me to death." Huo Shaoheng suddenly became "unyielding."
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes, grabbed his hands, and put them behind his back. She made a binding gesture and "interrogated" him. "Leniency for those who confess, and severity for those who resist. You know our policy better than I do!"
Huo Shaoheng almost burst out laughing.
However, his many years of training were not for nothing. The expression on his face did not change in the slightest as he lightly said, "Stop messing around, I still have things to do. Today is the 15th day of the first lunar month. You don't want to be unhappy, do you? "
Gu Nianzhi also felt a little guilty.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she had made Huo Shaoheng unhappy.
But the marriage, no, the wedding, was a big deal.
She still had a knot in her heart when Huo Shaoheng forced her to sign the marriage certificate, and she couldn't find a way out of it.
However, she wasn't very sure how to step down. She didn't want to tell Lu Jin about the twisted emotions in her heart. If only she had her mother by her side. It wasn't easy to tell her father about these things, but it was appropriate to tell her mother. She didn't even need to say anything, and her mother would teach her how to deal with it.
Her mood worsened as well.
Out of the corner of his eye, Huo Shaoheng noticed that Gu Nianzhi's mood had suddenly plummeted and realized that he had gone overboard with his acting. He immediately wrapped his arms around her neck and pecked her on the lips. Changing the subject, he said, "If you don't want to, I won't force you. I still have some time today. I'm going to the place where Guo Huining is being held to see how she's doing. Do you want to come with me?"
Gu Nianzhi came back to her senses and thought to herself that she had been too pretentious. She was the one who didn't want to set a wedding date first, and now she was feeling sorry for herself. How useless …
She only pretended to be pretentious for a while before letting it go. She nodded and said obediently, "Go, I also want to see her before the trial. Will we try her in court?"
Guo Huining's case was relatively simple, so the prosecution didn't hire Gu Nianzhi as the defense lawyer.
Therefore, if Gu Nianzhi wanted to know anything related to the case, she could only think of a way to visit her in the detention center.
Moreover, she had to find a good reason and Guo Huining had to agree to see her before she could see her.
Without her status as the prosecution lawyer, she no longer had those privileges.
Now that Huo Shaoheng was going to see Guo Huining, Gu Nianzhi felt that it was a good opportunity to hitch a ride.
Huo Shaoheng pulled her up from the sofa. "Yes, there was nothing special about her case, but recently someone hired a lawyer for her. It seems like she has something to rely on again and has started to retract her confession."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless the entire way. When they reached the door, she said, "She can retract her confession in Guo Huining's case? Do we have to take out the surveillance footage and throw it in her face to know how to spell the word 'confession'? "
"We don't have to worry about that." Huo Shaoheng smiled. "This is just a small fry. Let's see what they're up to."
Gu Nianzhi also knew that Guo Huining's case was under the jurisdiction of the country, so it wasn't good for Huo Shaoheng to interfere too much.
Besides, Guo Huining was indeed just a small fry. Even if she retracted her confession, she wouldn't be able to make a big fuss.
She was just curious about who the person Guo Huining was, and why the other party chose Guo Huining as a breakthrough point.
Huo Shaoheng opened the car door to let her get in. He looked at his watch and said, "We still have three hours. After that, we'll go to Old Master Xishan's place for a chat. Finally, we'll go to CEO Lu's house for dinner. "
The 15th day of the first lunar month was considered a small festival. According to the old customs, they were supposed to go see lanterns and guess lantern riddles.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but think of the 15th day of the first lunar month in the other world and was slightly distracted.
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything and drove all the way to the detention center where Guo Huining was being held.
As soon as the two of them got out of the car, they saw two fashionable and beautiful women also get out of the car and walk towards the gate of the detention center.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the backs of the two women in front of her and quietly asked Huo Shaoheng, "… You deliberately chose this time to come, didn't you?"
Why didn't they come earlier or later, but on the 15th day of the first lunar month?
Huo Shaoheng smiled and said, "Why do you think so?"
"The two people in front are obviously Yi Xinyan and Dou Aiyan. They have a pretty good relationship with Guo Huining. Could it be that they hired a lawyer for her? "
Huo Shaoheng held her hand and squeezed it. "It's so easy to talk to smart people."
He didn't need to explain any further.
Huo Shaoheng waited for Yi Xinyan and Dou Aiyan to go in before leading Gu Nianzhi into the detention center.
He flashed his ID at the registration desk and asked to be a spectator for the people who came to visit Guo Huining today.
Guo Huining's case was rather special. Although it was under the jurisdiction of the country, Huo Shaoheng could still interfere because it was related to foreign forces. However, he couldn't do much. He could still monitor it, but everything else would depend on the situation.
After the detention center staff registered Huo Shaoheng's ID, they were brought to the room next to Guo Huining's visitation room.
There was a one-way glass wall to see what was going on in the room next door. There was also a surveillance camera to see and hear the people talking on the small screen.
Gu Nianzhi didn't sit in front of the surveillance camera. Instead, she crossed her arms in front of the one-way glass wall and looked at the room next door.
It was a normal visitation room. The walls were covered with thick rubber and the floor was also covered with rubber. There was a set of tables and chairs fixed to the ground in the middle of the room. It was divided into two rooms by a transparent bulletproof glass wall.
Guo Huining, Yi Xinyan, and Dou Aiyan sat on opposite sides of the table separated by the glass wall.
