Gu Nianzhi was shocked by the news and was silent for a few seconds. She then jumped up from the sofa and chased after Huo Shaoheng to ask, "What happened? What happened? Huo Shao, what else did you do? "
Huo Shaoheng stopped and turned to look at her. "I went to the Prime Minister's official residence to bring all the guests back to the base to assist in the investigation. I just came back from there when you called me. "
Gu Nianzhi sighed heavily and patted her chest. She said hoarsely, "You … You brought all the guests back?!"
"Yes, they all saw the photos, so everyone has the possibility of leaking information. According to confidentiality laws, I have to monitor them until our people are out of danger. "Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and spoke in a relaxed tone.
Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Shaoheng must be under a lot of pressure.
Disregarding everything else, although most of the guests at the Prime Minister's official residence weren't people with real power, they were direct relatives or close relatives of people with real power. For example, the sons and daughters of certain ministers, the nieces and nephews of certain senators, and young people who already worked in the Imperial Administration Department. They might not have high authority, but they had real power.
There were more than 200 people in total, and Huo Shaoheng had locked them all up?
"Then Professor He, did you also bring him back like this?" Gu Nianzhi frowned and twisted her fingers in front of her. She knew how much power He Zhichu had in the United States. "Professor He is a lawyer himself. Huo Shao, you have to be careful."
"We also have a legal department." Huo Shaoheng leaned against the bedroom door. "But it's not impossible if you want to see your Professor He. Ask him what's the matter. It's better than going to school."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help rolling her eyes at Huo Shaoheng. "Huo Shao, what do you mean my Professor He? When did Professor He become mine? "
"He's not your mentor?" Huo Shaoheng raised his brows.
"He is my mentor, but it sounds weird for you to say he's my Professor He." Gu Nianzhi regretted the way she addressed him and quickly changed the topic. "That's fine. When can I go see Professor He?"
"Tomorrow. I'll pick you up tomorrow." Huo Shaoheng opened the door and left.
Gu Nianzhi stood in the middle of the bedroom in a daze for a while before returning to bed.
New Year's Day had been full of ups and downs for her.
…
Huo Shaoheng left Gu Nianzhi's bedroom but didn't return to his own. Instead, he went to look at Song Jinning's bedroom on the third floor.
Song Jinning had slept for almost the entire day, so she wasn't sleepy at night. There was still light shining through the crack of the bedroom door.
Huo Shaoheng knocked on the door and said, "It's me."
Song Jinning sat alone on the sofa in the living room outside the bedroom, playing on the computer.
The Internet had already developed to this stage, and she really felt that it was very novel.
When she was still studying in the United States, she had seen this kind of intranet in the laboratory where the United States military worked with her university.
Who would have thought that 16 years later, the intranet would become the global network, and countless people would entrust their lives to the network.
Song Jinning looked up when she heard the knock on the door and Huo Shaoheng's greeting. Rubbing her eyes, she placed her laptop on the small coffee table in front of the sofa and got up to open the door.
"You're still awake?" Huo Shaoheng stood at the door and asked politely.
This was how they had interacted with each other 16 years ago.
To outsiders, they were no better than strangers, but they knew that they had a tacit understanding between mother and son.
Song Jinning rubbed her temples and smiled. "I've slept all day, and now I can't sleep." She called out to Huo Shaoheng. "Do you want to come in and sit?"
Huo Shaoheng still had work to do, so he shook his head. "No need, I just came to see if you're comfortable here." He paused, then said, "I'm going to the military for a meeting tomorrow. The military will definitely reopen the investigation into the accident 16 years ago, and they'll need your assistance in the investigation."
Song Jinning nodded quickly. "I also want to know what went wrong back then. Don't worry, I'll do my best to cooperate with the investigation. "
Song Jinning was needed not only for the investigation team, but also for Bai Jinyi's lawsuit.
Huo Shaoheng suddenly thought of Gu Nianzhi. He really wanted Gu Nianzhi to be Song Jinning's defense lawyer, but Gu Nianzhi had just graduated from university, so he didn't know if she was qualified to represent Song Jinning in court.
"Ok, then rest early." Huo Shaoheng didn't want to disturb her anymore, so he turned to leave.
As he walked down the stairs, he called Gu Nianzhi.
As he expected, Gu Nianzhi still hadn't gone to bed.
She quickly answered Huo Shaoheng's call and mumbled, "Huo Shao? What's up? "
Huo Shaoheng asked her as he walked out, "Nianzhi, are you qualified to be a defense lawyer in court now?"
Gu Nianzhi perked up when she heard that, "Defense lawyer? Huo Shao, you want to go to court? "
"… Why are you so excited about the lawsuit?" Huo Shaoheng laughed. "It's not me, it's my mother's … lawsuit against Bai Jinyi."
Bai Jinyi's lawsuit was actually more important than her aunt Luo Xinxue's lawsuit.
However, in Luo Xinxue's case, the plaintiff was the prosecutor, so Gu Nianzhi couldn't be the prosecutor's lawyer. Of course, she also wouldn't be the defendant's lawyer for Bai Jinyi.
Song Jinning's lawsuit against Bai Jinyi was an adjunct case, so Gu Nianzhi could still be the lawyer if she was qualified.
Gu Nianzhi understood what Huo Shaoheng meant, and quickly said, "I can defend in court, as long as I have a qualified lawyer with good character to endorse me."
"Oh? You still need someone to endorse you? "
"Yes, I passed the law exam, but I don't have enough experience, so I can't apply for a lawyer's license for now." Gu Nianzhi was unhappy, "I have six months of internship experience in the US Congress, and another six months of internship experience in domestic law firms, so I can apply for a lawyer's license."
Huo Shaoheng couldn't help but think of He Zhichu when she mentioned her internship experience in the US Congress.
He Zhichu was the one who had given Gu Nianzhi the opportunity to intern at the US Congress for six months.
However, Gu Nianzhi only needed someone to endorse her, and Huo Shaoheng could find many qualified lawyers for her.
Since this wasn't a problem, Huo Shaoheng was relieved, "Then get ready to be my mother's defense lawyer."
Gu Nianzhi happily agreed, and prepared to start studying the law the next day to prepare for Song Jinning and Bai Jinyi's lawsuit.
Huo Shaoheng told her to go to bed again before hanging up, and walking out of his official residence, he went to where the Special Operations Forces held suspects and criminals. Of course, there was also a special place for witnesses.
Huo Shaoheng ordered the guests to be locked up in the place prepared for the suspects.
In theory, these people had the possibility of leaking information, so they were all considered suspects.
Among the people he brought back were Bai Yueran and Bai Shuang, two people the Special Operations Forces members were particularly familiar with.
However, everyone was professional and didn't show favoritism to release Bai Yueran.
Huo Shaoheng arrived at the place where the suspects were held, and first went to the place where He Zhichu and Wen Shouyi were held.
The two of them were held in two very narrow rooms next to each other.
Huo Shaoheng stood at the door with his hands behind his back, and looked at Wen Shouyi and He Zhichu respectively. Finally, he pointed to He Zhichu's room, "Invite Lawyer He out to assist in the investigation."
"Major General Huo, our Professor He is not feeling well. May I ask if you can lock me in the same room as him?" Wen Shouyi was in the room next to Huo Shaoheng, clutching the iron bars on the window, and anxiously begged Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng slowly looked over, and stared at Wen Shouyi, "You know me? Who are you? What's your relationship with Lawyer He? "
