Huo Shaoheng's arm was as strong as steel as it wrapped around Gu Nianzhi's waist.
How could she forget again?
Against Huo Shaoheng, she could only outsmart him.
Even 10 Gu Nianzhi wouldn't be a match for Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and stopped struggling. She pretended that Huo Shaoheng was just her chair and didn't react in the slightest. She focused her attention on Jin Wanyi and Gu Yanran, who were nearby.
…
After Jin Wanyi finished speaking, she crossed her arms and raised her chin slightly to look at the court staff. She was very imposing.
However, the staff sent by the Imperial Capital High Court were indeed the strictest. They did things by the book and were very imposing.
"Lawyer Jin, estate disputes don't work this way," the head of the staff said calmly. "Ten years ago, in the Johnson estate dispute, the main property was in the United States, but the British court sued and accepted it. Eight years ago, in the Argentine Honduras estate dispute, the main property was located in Australia and was also accepted by the Argentine court. Indeed, most estate disputes are accepted at the location of the defendant and the property, but that's not absolute. Therefore, it's completely reasonable and legal for Miss Gu Nianzhi to sue Miss Gu Yanran in the Hua Xia Empire for embezzlement of the Gu family's property. "
Jin Wanyi blushed. She had just accepted Gu Yanran's request and hadn't had time to do her homework. Naturally, she wasn't as prepared as the court staff.
The international precedents that the court staff found were all cited by Gu Nianzhi in the complaint.
They had verified it and treated it as evidence.
"Now, please sign here with Miss Gu Yanran, and then Miss Gu Yanran will hand over her passport." The court staff handed over the subpoena again and took out the receipt for Gu Yanran and Jin Wanyi to sign.
Jin Wanyi looked at the subpoena again and nodded. "Ok, that's all for now." She took out a pen and looked down to sign the subpoena.
Gu Yanran panicked. "Lawyer Jin, how can you sign this?! I didn't even agree to it! "
Jin Wanyi's pen paused and she turned to look at Gu Yanran. "You're the defendant. You don't have to agree or disagree when someone sues you."
The court staff couldn't help but laugh when they heard that.
Her words were extremely rude. It was almost as if she was pointing at Gu Yanran's nose and scolding her for not knowing the law.
Gu Yanran, on the other hand, was indignant. When she was in Barbados, anyone who wanted to sue her would have to think twice before doing so …
However, now that she was in the Huaxia Empire, she had no choice but to bow her head.
In that instant, she regretted giving up Barbados and settling down in the Huaxia Empire.
However, Barbados also had its inconveniences. She was a woman with so much property, and it was indeed impossible for her to stay there forever.
Gu Yanran sighed but still signed the subpoena.
After signing, she took her Barbados passport out of her bag and handed it to the clerk.
Gu Yanran's expression did not change, but she snorted in her heart. Would collecting passports stump me?
I have so many passports …
But before she could finish, the court staff said, "… and your American, French, British, and Brazilian passports, please hand them in."
Gu Yanran was shocked.
How did these people know she had multiple nationalities?!
She had only used Barbados passports to travel between the Huaxia Empire and Barbados. She had never used passports from other countries!
What she did not know was that Gu Nianzhi had gotten all this information from He Zhichu and had written it all on her complaint.
What's with this feeling of being seen through?
Gu Yanran shuddered and couldn't help looking around.
It was as if there was an eye quietly watching her from the dark. Her entire body was cold, her limbs were stiff, and her scalp was numb. Her heart was pounding very hard.
As soon as the court staff saw Gu Yanran's expression, they knew the words on the complaint were true.
They smiled at Gu Yanran and urged her again.
Jin Wanyi was also secretly surprised. She did not expect Gu Yanran to be a citizen of so many countries.
With so many passports, any one of them would be a slap in the face, right?
Gu Yanran and the court staff confronted each other for a long time. In the end, she reluctantly took out all the passports from her bag.
The court staff sorted through all the passports and confirmed that there were no mistakes. They also asked Gu Yanran to sign the receipt for the passports. After the lawsuit was over, she could use the receipt to collect the passports from the court.
After Gu Yanran signed, the court staff finally left the underground parking lot of the apartment and returned to the court.
Gu Yanran and Jin Wanyi did not move. They stood next to Gu Yanran's luxury car and watched the court staff enter the elevator.
As the elevator slowly rose, Jin Wanyi sighed and turned to look at Gu Yanran. "Miss Gu, what is going on? Why does Gu Nianzhi suddenly want to sue you for the family inheritance? "
Gu Yanran finally regretted going against Gu Nianzhi.
But it was not her fault. How would she have known that Gu Nianzhi would be so lucky …
Someone had set up a trap in Europe to kill her, but she was still able to escape alive, and it seemed that she was unscathed.
If she did not trust that person's ability and felt that he would definitely be able to kill Gu Nianzhi, why would she forget herself and say that Gu Nianzhi was an adopted daughter?
"It's not good to talk here. Lawyer Jin, come up with me." Gu Yanran also walked towards the elevator.
Jin Wanyi had come today to accept this lawsuit.
Gu Yanran was her client. She needed to understand the situation well before deciding on a strategy.
Jin Wanyi followed Gu Yanran into the elevator.
…
Gu Yanran and Jin Wanyi also left. It seemed like only Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng were left in the underground parking lot.
They sat in the driver's seat of the car, overlapping each other. Although Huo Shaoheng's Mercedes-Benz SUV was spacious, it was not spacious with two people squeezing in the driver's seat.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her temples and said, "Ok, they've all left. I'll go too. Huo Shao, please take me back to school. "
She already said she was leaving, so Huo Shaoheng would naturally let go of her if he wanted to drive.
However, Huo Shaoheng did not let go. He said calmly, "Don't you want to understand Gu Yanran's situation? Don't you want to know what she will say to Lawyer Jin? "
"I want to, but will you say it?" Gu Nianzhi looked up at Huo Shaoyang. "So I usually forget about useless things after thinking about it."
"Get out of the car and come back with me. We'll go listen to what Gu Yanran will say to Lawyer Jin first." Huo Shaoheng finally let go of her. Gu Nianzhi quickly escaped from his embrace and returned to her own seat. Then she quickly opened the door and got out.
Huo Shaoheng also got out of the car and used the remote to lock it. He took Gu Nianzhi's unwilling hand and walked towards the elevator.
"Huo Shao, maybe another day. I need to clear my thoughts when I go back today. I will choose to defend myself in this lawsuit. I don't need a lawyer," Gu Nianzhi said seriously and stopped in front of the elevator.
