Reveal everything to Gu Nianzhi?!
Gu Yanran lost her mind from anger.
That was the last thing she wanted to accept and hated. Years of dissatisfaction, anger, and the anxiety and fear she couldn't express since reuniting with Gu Nianzhi made her finally blurt out, "Go ahead and reveal it! If you reveal me, I'll rip her face off for you to see! Do you think she's the person you chatted with anonymously all those years ago?! Stop dreaming! She …! "
Ye Xuan was also extremely angry and fidgety on the other end of the line. He kicked out and kicked something with a bang. It was unclear what he had kicked, but there was an earth-shattering sound.
The sound was like thunder in Gu Yanran's ears and quickly pulled her back from the edge of losing her mind.
Gu Yanran covered her mouth with her hand and looked out the window at the blue sky that was like a blue hole in the Caribbean Sea. She seemed to suddenly remember something, and a trace of extreme panic flashed through her gentle eyes.
Her entire body began to tremble uncontrollably, and even her teeth were chattering.
The phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground with a thud.
Gu Yanran slumped on the sofa and covered her face with her hands as she desperately curled up on the sofa.
I want to go back … I want to go back … I can't stay here anymore …
She couldn't go back to Barbados either. When she applied for a flight route with the air traffic control, she had only used Barbados as a cover.
As long as she left the Huaxia Empire, where couldn't she go?
Gu Yanran kept muttering in her heart and became more determined. She had to leave the Huaxia Empire immediately and find a place to hide.
…
Gu Nianzhi worked hard in her dorm all morning and finally finished the complaint at noon.
It was a complaint for an estate dispute case, and the disputed assets were not only in the Huaxia Empire but could be all over the world.
Even the court that accepted the case had disputes, so Gu Nianzhi put in a lot of effort to convince the Huaxia Imperial Court to accept her complaint in order to file the case.
She had just printed out the complaint when she heard Huo Shaoheng's exclusive ringtone.
Gu Nianzhi picked it up. "Huo Shao, what's up?"
"Did you go to court to file the case?" Huo Shaoheng had just finished lunch and went to the immigration agency to check. He found that Gu Yanran's ban had not been issued yet, so he knew Gu Nianzhi had not finished yet.
Gu Nianzhi sighed. "I just finished writing the complaint, Brother. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"…"
"It's getting late." Huo Shaoheng glanced at his watch. "I'll leave you to your work then." With that, he hung up and drove out.
Gu Nianzhi grumbled and hung up the phone. She began to pack her things and was about to leave.
At one o 'clock in the afternoon, Gu Nianzhi personally went to the Imperial Capital High People's Court to submit her complaint.
"… We have never accepted such a case before." The staff member from the High People's Court who was in charge of reception carefully read Gu Nianzhi's complaint and was very impressed with it. However, he had never accepted a case like this before. "Look, why don't you file the case in the Barbados court?"
Gu Nianzhi was starting to panic.
If she gave up now and let Gu Yanran leave the Hua Xia Empire, she highly suspected that Gu Yanran would go into hiding. It would be troublesome if she came looking for her again …
"Sir, could you please discuss it with the judge before making a decision?" Gu Nianzhi was anxious. "I've written it very clearly here, including applicable laws, precedents, and international standards for handling cases like this. It's all listed. Can't you refer to it?"
The middle-aged man in his forties instantly blushed. He felt very uncomfortable being questioned by a young girl who was still wet behind the ears. His expression turned cold as well. He casually sketched a few sentences on Gu Nianzhi's complaint and said in a bureaucratic tone, "… Where's the precedent? Why haven't I seen it before? Where did you find all these you're talking about? "
"I've listed references at the back. You can check them out." Gu Nianzhi quickly flipped to the last page of the complaint. "Look, it's right here."
"I've never heard of it. I didn't know this counted as references." The staff was getting impatient. He slammed his pen heavily on the desk. "Alright, alright, little girl. Don't pester me endlessly. Are you an adult? Don't cause trouble. If you really want to file a complaint, get a lawyer to bring you here! "As he spoke, he was about to roll Gu Nianzhi's complaint into a ball and throw it out.
Gu Nianzhi had never thought that dealing with these staff members in the court would be even more difficult than dealing with those glib-tongued defendants and plaintiffs' lawyers in court!
She was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Her large eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of mist. She was so beautiful that it made people's hearts ache.
The staff member also seemed to realize his bad attitude and said guiltily, "Don't cry. These are the rules. We all have to follow the rules, right? You don't have any rules to follow, so I'm also in a difficult position. Also, the amount involved is so large, but you don't even have a lawyer to represent you. How can I trust you? Are you an adult? You're not messing with me, are you? "
Messing with you, my ass!
Who the hell has the time to mess with you?
Do you think you're a clown sent by a monkey?!
Gu Nianzhi clenched her hands into fists and pursed her lips to force the tears in her eyes down.
She raised her head and took a deep breath. She braced herself and mustered her courage. Just as she was about to continue persuading the staff member to submit her complaint, she heard the door to the small room suddenly open. Someone walked in.
The impatient staff member across from her suddenly plastered a smile on his face and stood up from his seat. He hurriedly walked around to the door and said politely, "President Zhan, why are you here? You could have just called if you needed anything. Why did you have to come here personally? "
Gu Nianzhi listened to this person's tone change from arrogant to subservient, and she curled her lip in disdain.
She turned around to see what kind of person could make this staff member bow and scrape to this extent.
She saw a tall man standing at the door. He was old and had grizzled sideburns, but his eyes were very sharp when he looked at people.
He nodded nonchalantly at the staff member, then said to Gu Nianzhi, "Are you here to submit a complaint?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
But she still nodded. "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"Let me take a look at your complaint." The man extended his hand to her. His wide palm was spread out in front of her, and she felt an indescribable sense of trust.
This was a man who looked trustworthy at first glance.
Gu Nianzhi quickly took the complaint and respectfully placed it in his hand.
The staff member was very uneasy and murmured, "… Well, President Zhan, we have no precedent for this kind of case, and according to the main body of the property, none of them are in our country. Logically …"
"What do you mean the main body of the property isn't in our country?" Gu Nianzhi couldn't listen to it anymore and rudely interrupted the staff member's words. She said calmly, "The venue of an estate dispute case is either based on the nationality of the plaintiff or the nationality of the defendant. My nationality is the Hua Xia Empire. I'm suing for the property, and as a staff member of the Hua Xia Empire's High People's Court, you actually dare to say something like this that won't be accepted? Don't you feel ashamed? Ask your professional ethics. Do you agree? If it's still there. "
"You –!" The staff member's face turned red from her words in front of President Zhan, but he didn't dare to make things difficult for Gu Nianzhi anymore. After all, the big boss was right in front of him. If he continued to make things difficult for her, he would be out of his mind.
President Zhan didn't say anything at the side. He skimmed through Gu Nianzhi's complaint and nodded. "You wrote this complaint?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
She squinted her crystal-clear eyes suspiciously. "Why do you ask?"
"Because you didn't bring a lawyer. If it was written by a lawyer, you wouldn't have to file the case yourself. " President Zhan looked at her and saw that she still had a puzzled expression. He chuckled. "Actually, it's remarkable that Lawyer Gu personally wrote her own complaint."
Gu Nianzhi stared at President Zhan, flabbergasted. "You, you, you … You know me?!"
"Yes, I've seen all the cases you fought in the military court and the German court. Not bad. The younger generation will truly surpass the older." President Zhan seemed to have a good impression of her and said readily, "I'll accept your complaint and send someone to deliver the subpoena right away. We'll pick a date for the hearing."
President Zhan was very busy with work. He had been asked by someone to help Gu Nianzhi file the case, then went back to the meeting.
Gu Nianzhi felt like she was dreaming. She completed the rest of the procedures with the staff member, who immediately changed his attitude. She watched them send someone to deliver the subpoena with her own eyes before leaving the main entrance of the High People's Court like she was sleepwalking.
She stood on the side of the road and looked back at the tall national emblem. She had a vague idea in her mind, but she wasn't sure.
She picked up her phone and swiped it open. She wanted to call someone, but after rubbing it twice, she put it down again.
She walked a few steps forward and lowered her head to swipe the phone open. She tapped on the letter "A" that represented that person. She wanted to call, but after trying several times, her finger felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. She just couldn't press it.
Forget it.
She sighed in her heart and looked down at her phone. Just as she was about to put it back in her bag, her phone suddenly rang.
"Priest, Temple, War, Bow and Arrow, Whose Past Did You Belong To Me In The Crowd …"
That was Huo Shaoheng's exclusive ringtone.
Gu Nianzhi's finger had been hovering over the "A" in her phone's address book …
What a coincidence.
She wanted to call him, and he called.
Gu Nianzhi hesitated for a while before swiping the phone open. She softly said, "Hello."
A pleasant deep laugh came from the phone. Not only did it come from the phone, but it also seemed to be right next to her ear. It seemed to be very close.
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly turned around and saw Huo Shaoheng, dressed in casual clothes, with both hands in his trouser pockets. He stood casually by the entrance of the High People's Court.
From her angle, the tall national emblem seemed to be shining above his head.
He stood under the majestic national emblem and looked at her with a faint smile.
