The two female officers looked at each other and said to Gu Nianzhi guiltily, "We will pass on your words to our superiors and have our colleagues handling criminal cases take over the case."
"Thank you for your trouble." Gu Nianzhi was very polite to them. "This is not your fault. Someone deliberately misled you and took advantage of your kindness and kindness."
"Gu Nianzhi! Don't slander me! "Jin Wanyi saw that the situation was bad and immediately stopped Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi ignored her and winked at the two female officers with a smile. "See?"
The two female officers also smiled at her and looked meaningfully at Jin Wanyi and Gu Yanran before getting up to leave the witness stand.
The judge banged his gavel. "After the second hearing, the court will cooperate with the police to extradite Ye Xuan back to the Hua Xia Empire. Court dismissed. "
The court staff surrounded President Zhan and left.
Gu Nianzhi returned to her seat and began to carefully pack her things.
She collected all the files and laptop that were scattered on the table and put them back into her laptop bag.
General Ji's personal secretary, Secretary Cao, sat in on the entire hearing and admired Gu Nianzhi's eloquent and clear argument style.
He also studied law and joined the army after his doctorate. Because he had a high starting point and was a civilian, he followed General Ji as his personal secretary and was promoted quickly.
After the hearing, Secretary Cao was supposed to leave immediately, but he still walked up to Gu Nianzhi and praised her with a smile. "Miss Gu, today's hearing was very exciting."
Gu Nianzhi saw someone complimenting her and looked up with a smile. She realized it was General Ji's personal secretary. She had seen him before when she was working for Huo Shaoheng but had never spoken to him.
"You are … Secretary Cao?" Gu Nianzhi was surprised. "You came to sit in?"
"Yes, it was a worthwhile trip." Secretary Cao praised her again and patted her shoulder. "Keep up the good work."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Although she wasn't familiar with him, she still had to smile.
This was the personal secretary of Huo Shaoheng's immediate superior, so she couldn't offend him.
"Secretary Cao, you flatter me." Gu Nianzhi nodded politely. "There are still trials for this case. I will continue to work hard."
"Good luck!" Secretary Cao looked at her with a smile again before leaving.
As soon as Secretary Cao left, Speaker Long's assistant also received a call from Speaker Long.
"Little Yang, Little Cao is already praising Gu Nianzhi. Why aren't you going?" Speaker Long secretly called him from the hallway.
The strategy and eloquence that Gu Nianzhi had displayed today were completely beyond Speaker Long's expectations.
He was overwhelmed with emotions as he watched the entire trial. It had been many years since he had seen such a promising talent.
As the Speaker of the Senate, Speaker Long had also been a straight-A student in B University's Faculty of Law. In fact, most of the members of the Senate had studied law.
This was because the main function of the Parliament was to enact laws. Without a legal background, it would be very difficult to be qualified for the job of a Parliament member.
Not only did the councilors need to be familiar with the law, but they also needed to have excellent eloquence and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. They also needed to have patience and strong logical thinking abilities.
Gu Nianzhi's performance today had impressed Speaker Long.
He suddenly understood why Huo Shaoheng liked Gu Nianzhi and why General Ji supported Huo Shaoheng to be with Gu Nianzhi.
He was trying to keep the goodies within the family!
Such good talents were all fished into his army!
No way!
Speaker Long couldn't sit still when he saw General Ji's personal secretary, Secretary Cao, take the initiative to chat with Gu Nianzhi on the big screen and even praised her.
The assistant he had sent, Little Yang, sat indifferently in the gallery. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Speaker Long had no choice but to personally call Little Yang and ask him to go and greet Gu Nianzhi.
Little Yang immediately understood. "Don't worry, I'll go right now."
Gu Nianzhi had just picked up her laptop bag and was about to leave when she saw a dignified man in his thirties walk over with a formal smile. "You're Gu Nianzhi, right?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She looked around. "May I ask if you're here to listen in?"
The person who came to listen didn't know who the plaintiff was. Who was he trying to fool?
"Yes, I just finished listening. You did well, but there are still areas that need improvement." Little Yang, who also studied law, was very good at teaching others. He began to teach Gu Nianzhi how to fight a lawsuit.
Gu Nianzhi was a bit annoyed but still listened to him politely as she walked out.
Little Yang said a few words and noticed that Gu Nianzhi was absent-minded. He began to look down on her. He felt that she didn't have a high status but was quite arrogant. She became arrogant after being praised by General Ji's Secretary Cao.
Gu Nianzhi was even more annoyed by his attitude. Seeing that he kept following her, she turned and asked, "May I ask how I should address you?"
"… You don't know who I am?" Little Yang looked at Gu Nianzhi with surprise. "My surname is Yang."
"Is your name Yang Guo?" Gu Nianzhi asked seriously.
"Of course not. Why do you say that?" Little Yang was very confused. "Yang Guo? That sounds very familiar. "
"Oh? You're not Yang Guo. Why would I know who you are? "Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes again in her mind.
Little Yang's face turned green.
Pfft –!
Yin Shixiong, who had been silently following behind them, finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Gu Nianzhi turned around and saw Yin Shixiong. Her eyes flashed. "Brother Xiong, you drove here?"
"Yes, I'll take you back to school." Yin Shixiong walked up and took the laptop bag from her naturally. He nodded at Speaker Long's assistant, Little Yang. "Special Assistant Yang is also here to listen in."
Special Assistant Yang finally regained some of his dignity. He looked at Gu Nianzhi and thought that her eyes were too big, her face was too beautiful, and her figure was too good. She was curvaceous even in a professional suit. She didn't look like a capable lawyer at all. She was more like a vase.
He put his hands in his trouser pockets and nodded at Yin Shixiong. "Lieutenant Colonel Yin is also here to listen in? Why isn't Huo Shao here? "
"Huo Shao is busy. He doesn't have time." Yin Shixiong smiled. Huo Shaoheng was actually watching the live broadcast of the trial with General Ji and Speaker Long at the military headquarters.
Special Assistant Yang smiled and turned to look at Gu Nianzhi carefully. He thought that there must be a reason why Speaker Long called him personally to say hello to Gu Nianzhi.
He didn't know what Speaker Long's reason was yet, but he understood that Speaker Long valued Gu Nianzhi.
However, in his opinion, Gu Nianzhi's performance in court today was most likely taught by someone behind the scenes. Perhaps it was the Special Operations Forces or Huo Shaoheng himself.
His focus had always been on the Senate and wasn't familiar with the military or the Special Operations Forces. He didn't know much about Gu Nianzhi's past achievements in court.
Moreover, he was also a top student. He only felt that Gu Nianzhi's performance today was "passable." He didn't understand why Secretary Cao had personally expressed his goodwill.
However, he had to admit that even if Gu Nianzhi was a vase, it was a precious mutton-fat jade antique vase. It wasn't a glass vase that cost 10 RMB on the market.
Having such a vase in the office was indeed pleasing to the eye.
Gu Nianzhi didn't like the way Special Assistant Yang looked at her. She tugged at Yin Shixiong's arm. "Brother Xiong, let's go. I still have something to tell you."
Yin Shixiong nodded and pulled her into the car. He stuck his head out and said to Special Assistant Yang, "We're leaving. Goodbye, Special Assistant Yang."
Special Assistant Yang smiled and nodded. He looked at them meaningfully as they left.
…
"Brother Xiong, you sat in on today's trial, right?" Gu Nianzhi sat in the passenger seat and played with the two clay dolls in the car.
"I did. Nianzhi is getting better and better." Yin Shixiong praised her with a smile. "If Brother Xiong needs anything in the future, I'll definitely hire you as my lawyer."
"No, no, no! Brother Xiong, don't talk nonsense! " Gu Nianzhi quickly helped him knock on the wood. "The bad don't work, but the good do. Brother Xiong won't need me until the day I become a lawyer."
Yin Shixiong knew that Gu Nianzhi was concerned about him. He felt very comforted and whispered, "Nianzhi, did you have the idea of extraditing Ye Xuan from the beginning?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly. "This was also because Gu Yanran and the others were so helpful. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to return to this crucial point in the end." She then said, "Go back and ask Huo Shao when you have time to see if this is feasible."
Yin Shixiong laughed. "You don't say. When you said those words last week, I didn't understand what you meant, but Huo Shao seemed to have understood a long time ago. He already asked us to call the police headquarters last week to monitor the progress of Ye Xuan's case in the United States. "
"Oh? Really? Huo Shao thought of it last week?! " Gu Nianzhi was surprised and happy. She also felt that Huo Shaoheng was really amazing. He immediately understood what she wanted to do and quietly helped her pave the way for the future …
"Yes, the people from the police headquarters should already be in contact with the American police to discuss cooperation on the case," Yin Shixiong said as he called Huo Shaoheng.
After the call went through, he said, "Huo Shao, Nianzhi is in the car. Do you want to talk to her?"
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a second before rejecting. "No need. Tell her not to worry."
Yin Shixiong snorted and turned off the phone. He turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, Huo Shao said to tell you not to worry."
Huo Shaoheng had already made arrangements. As soon as Gu Nianzhi filed an extradition request in court, the police headquarters would immediately file the criminal injury case that Gu Yanran was suing Ye Xuan. At the same time, they would quickly contact the American police to ask for cooperation on the case.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes were a bit moist, and an unknown emotion accumulated in her chest. It was like the dark clouds rolling in the August evening sky, layer upon layer, blocking her thoughts.
She nodded slightly. "Thank Huo Shao for me."
"… Nianzhi, are you still fighting with Huo Shao?" Yin Shixiong looked at her in shock. "Why are you angry for so long this time?"
Gu Nianzhi's heart full of gratitude immediately disappeared.
She glanced at Yin Shixiong from the corner of her eyes. "Brother Xiong, drive properly. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll say bad things about you in front of Qiqi!"
"How dare you?!" Yin Shixiong instinctively scolded Gu Nianzhi, only realizing that his reaction was too intense after speaking. He chuckled. "I was just joking. Don't take it seriously."
Gu Nianzhi was already covering her mouth from laughing so hard that her muscles were almost cramping. "Brother Xiong, don't explain. Explaining means you're guilty, and being guilty means it's true. I get it, I get it. "
Yin Shixiong was rendered speechless by her.
When they arrived at school and Gu Nianzhi got out of the car, she winked at Yin Shixiong and smiled. "Brother Xiong, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously."
She returned his words to him.
Yin Shixiong was relieved and patted her head. "Go back. Why would I be angry with you? You're like my own sister."
Gu Nianzhi pushed her head against Yin Shixiong's hand and went back in a good mood.
…
Gu Yanran returned from the court feeling terrible.
She locked herself in her bedroom in the Xiangshan villa and didn't eat or drink. She also ignored the housekeeper, Mrs. James.
She paced around the room anxiously, thinking of ways to stop Ye Xuan from returning to the Hua Xia Empire.
Jin Wanyi had originally assured her that Ye Xuan couldn't be extradited back to the Hua Xia Empire. She didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to overturn Jin Wanyi's words in court and get the court to agree to the extradition …
What should she do?
She thought about it all night and finally decided to look for that person again.
That person's idea not only didn't work, but it also seemed to have shot herself in the foot.
Ye Xuan couldn't stay.
She had to quickly contact that person and get rid of Ye Xuan.
However, she called that person's phone countless times, but it was an invalid number. No one picked up at all.
She vaguely felt that when that person said "don't contact me again," he meant it.
But how could she not contact her?
That was because her idea had screwed up!
Gu Yanran thought about it all night and finally came up with an idea.
Early the next morning, Gu Yanran found someone to post on the Internet and was the first to expose the news of the police headquarters attempting to extradite Ye Xuan back to the Hua Xia Empire.
She believed that as long as the news was heated up enough on the Internet, that person would definitely see it and help her.
Wouldn't that be the case?
That person was more powerful than she imagined. Not only did she know the address of Gu Xiangwen's lawyer, but she was also able to burn his entire family to death in one night and frame Ye Xuan. These things couldn't be done with money alone.
…
"What? The Hua Xia Imperial police want to extradite Ye Xuan back? " The sheriff of Little Rock Canyon, Utah was very surprised. "But he committed a crime here. How can they extradite him back? And his nationality doesn't seem to be the Hua Xia Empire? "
The person who came to the Little Rock Canyon police station was an agent from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, also commonly known as an FBI agent.
In the United States, interstate and international cases were all handled by the FBI. Of course, if the local police couldn't solve the case, they could also ask the FBI for help.
Different from the Hua Xia Empire's police system, the various police stations in the United States were all local. There was no superior and subordinate relationship, only the size of the jurisdiction.
The only national crime investigation agency was the FBI.
The FBI received a request from the Hua Xia Empire's police headquarters to cooperate and specifically came to Little Rock Canyon to investigate Ye Xuan's case.
"This was their request. We signed a memorandum before." The FBI agent patiently laid out the facts and reason with the sheriff of Little Rock Canyon. "And the crime he committed here is closely related to a case in their Hua Xia Empire. It's understandable for them to request cooperation. "
"But Mr. Vanderbilt is one of our people. This person is the only suspect, so we can't let him go. "The sheriff of Little Rock Canyon was very insistent." No, no way. You guys signed a memorandum with the Hua Xia Empire, but I didn't. Don't blame it on me. "
The FBI agent also had a headache dealing with such stubborn people.
But he had no choice. Because they weren't superior and subordinate, he couldn't order the sheriff of Little Rock Canyon to hand over Ye Xuan and have the Hua Xia Empire extradite him back.
So their memo said "collaboration," not "necessity."
"Think about it carefully. This is a copy of the letter from the Hua Xia Imperial Police Headquarters. I'll leave it here. Call me when you've thought it through." The FBI agent left a business card and left.
The sheriff of Little Rock Canyon was a tough nut to crack, so he took on this matter and refused to let Ye Xuan return to the Hua Xia Empire.
…
When Gu Nianzhi heard the news, she was very anxious and absent-minded in class. She wanted nothing more than to personally go to the United States and bring Ye Xuan back.
He Zhichu noticed that she was restless, so he asked her to stay after class and kindly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you? "
Gu Nianzhi didn't hide it from He Zhichu and told him about the American police in Little Rock Canyon refusing to extradite Ye Xuan back to the Hua Xia Empire. She even complained, "The lawyer over there isn't good enough and won't speak up for him at all. I really want to go there myself and ask the sheriff why they're detaining Ye Xuan. We're actually just looking for an excuse to send people to protect Ye Xuan's safety. Otherwise, I can get him acquitted at any time and demand huge compensation! "
If they extradited him, of course, the police force would be sufficient, so Ye Xuan's safety would be guaranteed.
He Zhichu silently took the tablet and began to look at all the circumstances of Ye Xuan's case.
His expression was still cold and aloof, and his thin lips were pressed tightly together. He quietly read all the information and walked to the kitchen to pour a glass of red wine. He swirled it in his hand.
Gu Nianzhi saw that He Zhichu wasn't saying anything, so she picked up her bag. "I'm going back now. Goodbye, Professor He."
When she walked to the door, He Zhichu seemed to have finally made up his mind. He downed the red wine in his hand and suddenly called out to her, "Nianzhi, I'm going to the United States to be Ye Xuan's lawyer and bring him back to the Hua Xia Empire."
