Gu Nianzhi silently looked at the Christie's website record, her fingers constantly scrolling across her phone.
She really wanted to know who the anonymous buyer was. Why would this pink diamond crown appear on Tan Guiren's head?
Zhao Liangze had taught her about the internet, as well as the principles of hackers and hackers. They prioritized national interests, but they couldn't ignore all laws just because they were skilled. She also couldn't use the knowledge he had taught her to commit crimes for personal gain.
Gu Nianzhi had always been obedient, but this time, she couldn't help it.
She thought that she really wanted to know the identity of the anonymous buyer, but she didn't want to harm the Christie's Auction House.
Gu Nianzhi knew that the so-called anonymous buyer was only anonymous to the public. It was impossible to be anonymous to the auction house.
And the auction house respected the buyer's privacy very much. If the buyer didn't want to reveal their identity, they would never do so.
So to find out who the anonymous buyer was, the only way was to hack into the Christie's Auction House website and enter their internal system …
Gu Nianzhi didn't have any other tools except her phone, but that was enough.
As long as the Christie's Auction House website didn't have strong security like the German Federal Intelligence Service, she would be able to crack the external system.
Sitting alone on the sofa in the corner behind the plants, Gu Nianzhi's entire attention was focused on the phone in her hand.
However, in some people's eyes, she was just a wallflower that no one cared about.
For example, Gu Yanran took the opportunity when Tan Guiren was changing to come out and see that He Zhichu was gone. She only saw Gu Nianzhi sitting on the sofa behind the plants in the corner of the hall, playing with her phone alone.
Gu Yanran really wanted to burst into laughter seeing that lonely figure.
She hadn't seen Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng's behavior under the lily wall, and no one had mentioned it to her. Therefore, she didn't doubt the authenticity of Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng's breakup.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi wasn't in the mood to think about such nonsense. In her heart, she had indeed broken up with Huo Shaoheng, and now he was pursuing her again. It was up to her whether she accepted it or not. As for what other people thought, it was none of their business.
Gu Nianzhi's fingers danced on her phone as she typed out a series of commands, bypassing each barrier, and solving each password. Finally, after ten minutes, she cracked the Christie's Auction House's intranet and entered their backend program.
Gaining access to the backend was tantamount to gaining access to all of Christie's auction house's industry secrets.
However, Gu Nianzhi firmly remembered what Zhao Liangze had told her. She didn't pay attention to anything else from Christie's. She only wanted to find out who had won the pink diamond crown of Russian Tsar Catherine 18 years ago for a high price of 70 million dollars.
She widened her eyes and concentrated on searching for records on Christie's website. It didn't take long before she found the buyer who hadn't been announced.
His English name was Kevin Ku.
Gu Nianzhi's hands couldn't stop trembling.
Wasn't that the English name of her vegetable father, Gu Xiangwen?
She searched carefully, but there was no other information on the website that could prove that this Kevin Ku was Gu Xiangwen. After all, this name was too common, and there were people with the same name and surname.
She continued reading.
In the end, there was an additional note on the purchase record. It said that the buyer had requested Christie's auction house to use the best diamond engraver to engrave the words "To Cereus, my little darling" on the inside of the pink diamond crown.
Cereus. Wasn't that the English name of the youngest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Nianzhi, when she went to Barbados?!
That was why she later used Cereus as her English name.
If she had seen Kevin Ku earlier, she could have guessed that it was a duplicate name. But now that she saw a person named Kevin Ku buy a pink diamond crown for his daughter, Cereus, she was certain.
What were the odds that there was another father and daughter named Kevin Ku and Cereus in this world besides her and Gu Xiangwen?!
It was almost zero.
Therefore, this pink diamond crown had been personally purchased by her father, Gu Xiangwen, from Christie's auction house 18 years ago. From the date of purchase, it must have been for his daughter's first birthday.
Gu Nianzhi stared fixedly at the record. She read each word many times.
The unknown void in her heart seemed to be slowly being filled.
She didn't have any memories of her parents, but in that moment, she suddenly experienced her parents' sincere love for her.
They were doing their best to give the best things to their beloved daughter, right?
Gu Nianzhi caressed the words "To Cereus, my little darling" on her phone, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes.
"Dad … Mom …" She called out softly. She no longer felt unfamiliar with these two terms of address.
She looked up, took a deep breath, and looked back at the huge wall of photos.
Gu Nianzhi now believed that Gu Xiangwen must be her biological father. There couldn't be any other choice.
As for the vegetative "Gu Xiangwen" they had tried so hard to save from Barbados, his DNA didn't match hers. It only matched Gu Yanran's. This only proved that the person was Gu Yanran's biological father, but it didn't prove that the person was Gu Xiangwen.
Also, Gu Yanran had given something that belonged to her to someone else as a favor.
This was something her parents had left for her. It was easy to prove it. She just had to look at the serial number on the inside of the pink diamond crown and see if it was engraved with the words.
Gu Nianzhi sat on the sofa and pondered. Ma Qiqi came over and asked curiously, "Nianzhi? Are you hungry? Why do you keep playing on your phone? "
Gu Nianzhi looked up at Ma Qiqi and smiled at her. "I'm not hungry."
Just then, a loud commotion came from behind them.
The two of them looked back together.
In the spacious hall, the crowded crowd parted to make a path.
Tan Guiren, wearing a pink diamond crown and a pink princess dress, was smiling and waving at everyone on the spiral staircase from the second floor.
Prime Minister Tan wore a black tuxedo and stood behind Tan Guiren energetically. He wore gold-rimmed glasses on his fair face and looked very refined.
Gu Yanran wore a simple black Versace evening gown and stood beside Prime Minister Tan. Her gentle and charming appearance was very moving.
The two of them stood behind Tan Guiren like a pair of parents.
However, Gu Nianzhi's gaze was directly attracted to the pink diamond crown on Tan Guiren's head.
She had already been unable to look away from the photos. Now that she saw the real thing, all of her attention was glued to the pink diamond crown.
That was hers …
There was a voice in the depths of her heart that kept screaming, making it impossible for her to escape.
She now completely believed that Gu Xiangwen was her biological father. It was not like what Gu Yanran had said, where she was an adopted daughter and Gu Yanran was the biological daughter.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't think of any reason why a father would buy such a rare treasure for his one-year-old adopted daughter at an exorbitant price.
She had to be her father's biological daughter, and her father must have loved her mother deeply. That was why he loved the young Gu Nianzhi like a treasure.
