Huo Shaoheng was very calm.
He had seen too many different kinds of people. He continued to calmly interrogate Guo Huining about Guo Hongmao. After confirming that it was also the first time that she knew about the relationship between him and Guo Hongmao, he did not continue to pursue the matter.
It was almost 5pm when Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng left the detention center.
It was almost dark in the Imperial Capital on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar.
However, the spotlessly white street lamps on the long street lit up like little lanterns, giving off the feeling of the Lantern Festival.
The radio in the car played songs about Lantern Festival reunions, and the TV was also preparing for the Lantern Festival.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the front passenger seat and propped up her chin with one hand as she stared at the street view. She thought about the new clue she had just heard and still found it amazing.
She was silent for a while before taking out her phone and rereading the message Huo Shaoheng had forwarded to her.
This time, she stared at the phone messages related to Guo Hongmao for a while.
Guo Hongmao had a total of three phones, one for work, one for contacting relatives and friends, and one for some unknown purpose.
Zhao Liangze's investigation showed that the first two phones had fixed numbers, but the third phone for some unknown purpose didn't have a number.
Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, "Huo Shao, do you know if Guo Hongmao has a phone without a number?"
"Yes, it's said that he carries it with him at all times, just like the other two phones."
"But why would Guo Hongmao carry a phone without a number with him all the time?"
Gu Nianzhi really wanted to know the reason.
"Huo Shao, where is Guo Hongmao? What about his three phones? "Gu Nianzhi's fingers rubbed the phone screen, itching to know.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her, "What do you want to do? I already alerted him when I raided the Monarch Descends law firm. He was overseas at the time and didn't return after hearing the news. "
At the time, they really didn't know the Monarch Descends law firm was so deeply involved.
"Then didn't you put a warrant out for him? Or did you want him to return? "Gu Nianzhi asked quietly.
Huo Shaoheng's right hand drummed rhythmically on the steering wheel, "His law firm didn't commit any crimes, so why put a warrant out for him?"
"Moreover, I originally thought that since this was the property left behind by He Zhichu, there would still be a certain degree of protection."
He had a preconceived notion that He Zhichu should have made sufficient arrangements for his business and wouldn't harm Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi understood what he meant and quickly said, "Huo Shao, you can't say that. At that time, my brother was so anxious, how could he have arranged everything properly? It's already good enough that he managed to sell it, and I think it must have been sold cheaply. What a pity … "
Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at her with a smile and turned the steering wheel onto the highway to Xishan.
The first place they went to was Huo Shaoheng's father, Huo Guanchen's villa in the West Hills. It happened to be diagonal to Lu Yuan's villa, but it was actually quite far away.
Normally, he wouldn't go, but today was the holiday and he had promised Huo Guanchen that he would visit Grandfather Huo.
He drove quickly and soon arrived at Huo Guanchen's West Mountain villa.
He turned off the engine and parked in front of the villa. Huo Shaoheng opened the door for Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi jumped out of the car and hissed at the cold mountain air.
Huo Shaoheng calmly put on the furry hat that came with her down jacket.
Gu Nianzhi's face looked even smaller against the halo of white fur.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't help pinching her face and holding her hand, they walked to the villa door.
He rang the doorbell, and the iron door quickly opened automatically to the side.
Huo Shaoheng led Gu Nianzhi in.
Huo Guanchen stood on the steps in front of the main door of the villa and watched the two of them walk over with a smile on his face.
Gu Nianzhi greeted him politely, "Chief Huo, happy New Year."
"Nianzhi, you're here. Come in quickly. Your grandfather has been waiting for you all day." Huo Guanchen stepped aside and watched Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng approach.
Huo Shaoheng looked around and didn't see any other cars. He thought the Zhang family hadn't come.
However, when he and Gu Nianzhi entered the door, he knew he had guessed wrong.
The Zhang family must have parked their car in the backyard, so when the two of them came in, they didn't see them in the front yard or the road at the gate.
If he had known that the Zhang family was really coming, Huo Shaoheng wouldn't have brought Gu Nianzhi into the house.
However, it was fine now that she had come in, but his father Huo Guanchen's credibility in his heart had dropped again and again. It was almost negative.
Gu Nianzhi saw the Zhang family as soon as she came in.
Other than Head Nurse Zhang, everyone was here.
Grandfather Huo's illegitimate son, Zhang Baochen, Zhang Baochen's wife, Qian Shihui, and their son, Zhang Wenjie, and daughter, Zhang Wenna.
The whole family happily gathered around Grandfather Huo to enjoy the "family reunion".
Gu Nianzhi wasn't surprised that this family was related to Grandfather Huo's family. He was their biological son, so why couldn't he enjoy "family happiness"?
However, it was unbelievable that someone with Huo Guanchen's status could also be "happy" with them.
However, although Gu Nianzhi was about to vomit in her heart, she still smiled and looked cute and easy to bully. She stood obediently beside Huo Shaoheng, looking like a little bird that made people's hair stand on end.
Zhang Wenjie stole a glance and blushed.
Zhang Wenna rolled her eyes.
Gu Nianzhi was a woman who knew how to pretend. When Gu Nianzhi first met her, she was really fooled by her cute appearance.
Looking at how she behaved in court afterward, it was the perfect example of "don't judge a book by its cover."
Also, being obsessed with looks could get you killed!
Zhang Wenna kicked Zhang Wenjie without batting an eyelid.
Zhang Wenjie reluctantly looked away, completely unaware that Huo Shaoheng's "Death Stare" had been fixed on his head for a long time.
Qian Shihui stood up with a smile and said warmly, "Shaoheng and Nianzhi are here. Thank you so much. Let's eat together later."
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything, but Huo Guanchen already said, "Shaoheng and Nianzhi have something to do later. They'll be leaving after a while."
To be honest, Huo Shaoheng was only here because of Huo Guanchen.
Grandfather Huo had already fallen from his position as an elder in his heart.
Qian Shihui smiled awkwardly and said, "Then let's have a bowl of glutinous rice balls. It's the Lantern Festival. It's good to have glutinous rice balls."
Huo Guanchen was tempted and glanced at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng replied calmly, "No, I don't eat sweets. Nianzhi has a weak stomach, so she can't eat anything too sticky."
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Her body was very healthy. Was the Perfect Gene just a boast?
If Lu Jin heard Huo Shaoheng say this, he would beat him up!
Gu Nianzhi grumbled internally, but she still gave Huo Shaoheng face by rubbing her stomach. She smiled shyly and said, "Mrs. Zhang, you're too kind. My stomach really isn't good, so I'm very picky when it comes to glutinous rice balls."
"The glutinous rice flour has to be Xiangxi's Xianghe Glutinous Rice. It's the kind that's grown organically. It's purely hand-ground. Glutinous rice flour produced by machines always has a rusty taste. I can't get used to it."
"Also, the sesame filling in the glutinous dumplings is made from black sesame, a specialty of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It's ground into black sesame powder after being steamed and dried nine times."
Qian Shihui: "…"
Didn't they beat around the bush because they didn't want their things to be presentable?!
