Gu Nianzhi's imagination ran wild as she walked Ye Zitan to the door. Coincidentally, Gu Yanran arrived.
This time, she came alone without Ye Xuan.
Gu Nianzhi waved goodbye to Ye Zitan and followed Gu Yanran to see their father, Gu Xiangwen.
Gu Xiangwen's condition was still the same. It did not improve, but it did not worsen either.
Gu Nianzhi was very sad to see Gu Xiangwen lying on the bed. He was so emaciated that his original appearance was unrecognizable.
Who would have thought that the handsome and intelligent Great Scholar Gu would turn into a skeleton like this?
"… Sis, do you want to do a craniotomy for father? I feel like he's been unconscious for so long. Maybe there's a blood clot in his brain, "Gu Nianzhi suggested quietly.
"Don't talk nonsense. Craniotomy is too dangerous. In this state, there was still hope for him to wake up. If the craniotomy failed, his father would die immediately. Nianzhi, how could you be so heartless? "Gu Yanran looked at Gu Nianzhi accusingly, her eyes filled with pain.
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
She sat down and played with her fingers. She didn't want to talk to Gu Yanran anymore.
Gu Yanran ignored her and took a towel to wipe Gu Xiangwen's face and hands.
Chen Lie arrived at Gu Xiangwen's room after a while. He froze when he saw Gu Nianzhi and Gu Yanran sitting on the sofa in a daze, and Gu Yanran looking out the window with her arms crossed. He quickly grabbed Gu Yanran and said, "Miss Gu, I finally found you. Come, you promised me last time that you would tell me what happened when you found your father."
Gu Yanran raised a brow and looked at Gu Nianzhi. "Didn't I already tell her? She didn't tell you? "
"Yes, but I think there are still some things I'm not clear about. She's not a professional, so it's better for me to ask her myself," Chen Lie said with a smile. He invited Gu Yanran to sit in the small room next door and began to ask questions.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the situation and guessed that it was time to put a lie detector on Gu Yanran. It wasn't convenient for her to stay there, so she raised her voice and said to the people in the room, "Brother Chen, Sister, I have something to do. I'll be going now!"
"Let's go! It's none of your business. "Chen Lie waved his hand without looking up and dismissed her.
It was already noon on Sunday, and Huo Shaoheng wasn't there. Gu Nianzhi didn't plan on staying any longer.
She packed her things and said goodbye to Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze, then arranged for someone to take her back to school.
Back at school, I sat in front of my desk and watched the sun set in the west. Another week had passed, and tomorrow would be a new week!
The next day was Monday. Although she didn't have to go to school during the summer break, Gu Nianzhi still went to He Zhichu's office to do her daily routine as his legal assistant.
He Zhichu didn't have classes during the summer break, but he still had work to do at the American law firm.
After dealing with the daily mail, Gu Nianzhi stared blankly at the computer. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Seeing her like this, He Zhichu didn't seem to have much interest in reading. He finally found a few cases that his law firm had just accepted and sent them to Gu Nianzhi.
"See which one you're interested in and let me know." He Zhichu's email was concise, but the cases were quite complicated.
Gu Nianzhi had been reading all afternoon, but her attention was still drawn to the case of the female exchange student in Germany who had been tortured and murdered.
It wasn't only because she wanted to do something for the poor female exchange student, but also because Huo Shao was also in that place. She wanted to be closer to him …
Although he might keep leaving, she could choose to keep getting closer to him.
That way, the two of them wouldn't be too far apart.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it silently and sent the case to He Zhichu. "Professor He, this is interesting."
He Zhichu saw Gu Nianzhi's email and wasn't surprised. The corners of his lips curled up and he sent a short email. "Got it."
The good thing about this case was that he needed to go to Europe, so he could take Gu Nianzhi on a vacation.
He Zhichu didn't like seeing Gu Nianzhi so distracted because of another man.
It would be great if there was something to distract her.
This case should have the ability to do so.
He Zhichu immediately sent a message to the American law firm to say that he would accept the case.
Because of the time difference, the law firm only saw the email at night, which was daytime in the United States. They were all very happy.
Lawyer He, who rarely accepted cases, finally accepted his first non-law case of the year. How could he not be happy?
He Zhichu had never accepted a criminal case like this before. However, as the plaintiff's lawyer for this case, they weren't fighting a criminal case, but a civil case supporting the criminal case.
After this case, He Zhichu asked Gu Nianzhi to draw up a plan.
"Nianzhi, the criminal case is still in progress, which means that by the time our civil case goes to trial, the criminal case may not have concluded yet. Are you mentally prepared?" He Zhichu sat behind his desk and asked Gu Nianzhi seriously about her plans and plans.
Gu Nianzhi had been carefully reading the information related to the case last night. The more she read, the more excited she became. She had many ideas and was eager to try them out.
"Professor He, I've thought about it carefully. This civil case doesn't have much to do with the criminal case, so whether the criminal case is concluded or not doesn't make much difference to us."
"Go on." He Zhichu smiled encouragingly.
Gu Nianzhi took out the key points she had written yesterday. "Professor He, for criminal cases, the plaintiff doesn't have to hire their own lawyer. Instead, the German public prosecutor will prosecute, and their prosecutor will carry out the duties of the lawyer. As the lawyers hired by the plaintiff's parents, although we don't have to directly appear in court to help them fight the criminal case, we can supervise the German public prosecutor and prosecutor to see if they are fulfilling their duties. "
"That's interesting." A hint of admiration appeared on He Zhichu's cold face. "And then?"
Gu Nianzhi's long, slender fingers gently tapped on He Zhichu's desk. "The entire case was sabotaged by the German police from the beginning. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the German public prosecutor and prosecutor may have engaged in favoritism. If we win this case and the defendant gets the punishment he deserves, then our civil case will only be filed against the local police station in Germany. This is because the higher-ups in the police station immediately held a press conference and used the defendant's excuse to slander the victim. For such a serious dereliction of duty, the German government actually only gave this high-ranking police officer a long vacation to retire behind the scenes. I'm very unhappy about this. "
He Zhichu nodded slightly. "That's right. For a civil case to be effective as punishment, a large amount of civil compensation is required. If the amount is too small, it won't be effective at all. "
