"They're not with Major General Huo?" Cai Shengnan was shocked. "It's the New Year. Where did they go?"
"I don't know. I'm not part of their system, so it's hard to find out."
The Special Operations Forces was as solid as a steel plate, and no one could penetrate it. Special Assistant Yang had even tried to plant some Senate spies into the Special Operations Forces in the past, but Huo Shaoheng had carried out a massive purge, and none of his spies were spared. They were all sent to the military court.
After that, they never dared to place people in the Special Operations Forces again.
Cai Shengnan felt bad after hearing Special Assistant Yang's words. She snorted and said dryly, "It seems like people shouldn't be so thin-skinned. People who are thin-skinned are afraid of everything. My cousin and Major General Huo are a match made in heaven, but she's not as thick-skinned as some people who insist on staying by his side. Why don't you take a look at your own wealth? Do you think you're worthy of a family like the Huo family? "
Special Assistant Yang listened to the jealousy that couldn't be suppressed and was shocked for two seconds. He quickly changed his tone and smiled like an elder. "You can't say that. Gu Nianzhi is actually quite rich. Her family's inheritance is an astronomical figure. When she was fighting her inheritance lawsuit, I attended two of the hearings. My opinion was insignificant, but Speaker Long was full of praise for her. He even told me to win her over and planned to recommend her to the Special Office of the Secretariat of the Senate … "
Cai Shengnan was silent for a while. Her breathing could be heard clearly. It was obvious she was feeling emotional.
Special Assistant Yang didn't say anything either. He waited quietly for a while before Cai Shengnan continued, "Inheritance? That was originally her sister, Gu Yanran's, right? Didn't she use Major General Huo's power to fight a lawsuit and split the inheritance with her biological daughter? Also, she can't protect her family's inheritance even if she has money but no power. She has no parents or relatives. If it were me, I would also cling to Major General Huo and not let go. That's common sense. "
"Oh, that's not true. The Gu family's inheritance does belong to Gu Nianzhi. Gu Yanran isn't even a biological daughter of the Gu family. That's already very clear. "Special Assistant Yang explained to Cai Shengnan in detail.
Because the case was closed, the media didn't report it. Only the highest-ranking officials and related relatives and friends could listen to the entire trial.
At the end of the trial, Gu Yanran was still in custody because she was suspected of "murder for money."
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and her subordinates have long run away.
Therefore, Cai Shengnan didn't know much about the details of the lawsuit.
Actually, Cai Shengnan was the same as Special Assistant Yang. They both believed that Gu Nianzhi had won the estate dispute lawsuit not because of her own abilities, but because of He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng …
Now that Special Assistant Yang had confirmed that Gu Nianzhi was indeed the heir to the Gu family's astronomical inheritance, Cai Shengnan raised an eyebrow and said, "Actually, it doesn't mean anything that the inheritance is hers. This kind of inheritance located abroad is usually managed by a trust fund. At most, Gu Nianzhi can receive a fixed share of the estate income from the trust fund every month. It's impossible for her to have the qualifications and ability to control the entire estate. "
"Oh, I'm not sure about that. Miss Cai has always been a lawyer in the United States, so she definitely knows more about this than I do. "Special Assistant Yang was very humble and flattered Cai Shengnan very well.
Cai Shengnan also introduced him to how trust funds operated abroad and finally ended the conversation happily.
After putting down the phone, Cai Shengnan walked around the room a few times. Although she didn't think much of Gu Nianzhi shamelessly following Huo Shaoheng around, she was more worried about Huo Shaoheng's health.
However, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, so she couldn't go to a local doctor to ask how to recuperate in such a situation.
Later, she remembered that the United States didn't celebrate the Lunar New Year, so she quickly called a doctor she was familiar with in the United States.
When the doctor heard that it was only an electric shock, he didn't care and smiled to reassure her. He said that it was only a superficial wound and wouldn't hurt his muscles or bones.
Cai Shengnan patted her face and realized that she was so nervous that her face was stiff.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she celebrated the holiday at Prime Minister Tan's official residence.
Her aunt, Cai Songyin, and her daughter, Tan Guiren, were there to entertain the guests who came to visit. Of course, they were all cabinet officials and their families.
Other than Prime Minister Tan, the person with the highest position today was probably the Minister of the Interior, Bai Jiancheng.
He had brought his daughter, Bai Yueran, with him.
Tan Guiren was now the chief violinist of the army's performing group, so she could be considered to have joined the army. she was in the same system as Bai Yueran.
She was in charge of entertaining Bai Yueran.
"Director Bai, try this. It's authentic cantaloupe from the Northwest. It just arrived by air yesterday." Tan Guiren enthusiastically placed a crystal plate in front of Bai Yueran. On it was a sliced cantaloupe with eight petals.
Bai Yueran picked up a toothpick and forked a piece of cantaloupe into her mouth.
The fragrant and sweet juice immediately awakened all the taste buds.
"Yes, it's really not bad. There's fresh cantaloupe to eat on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the best part is that it's from the Northwest." Bai Yueran narrowed her eyes and ate with relish.
Tan Guiren sat beside her and ate the cantaloupe with her. They chatted quietly, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
At that moment, Cai Shengnan walked over and sat next to Tan Guiren and across from Bai Yueran. She also reached out to eat a piece of cantaloupe as she asked Bai Yueran, "Director Bai, I just heard someone say that Major General Huo went to General Ji's house to visit the Lunar New Year, but his personal secretary didn't go with him."
Bai Yueran smiled. "That's an internal matter of our system." She then asked, "Miss Cai, why are you asking about this?"
Cai Shengnan laughed heartily and said openly, "I'm worried about Major General Huo. I heard that his right arm is injured, so it must be very inconvenient for him to go about his daily life."
Bai Yueran was also very surprised. "Major General Huo's right arm is injured? When did that happen? Why didn't I know about it? "
Huo Shaoheng had been injured on the Lunar New Year's Eve when he was doing the system's annual inspection. Of course, she didn't know.
Cai Shengnan had just learned about it from Special Assistant Yang over the phone, but she wouldn't reveal her source of information. She only said vaguely, "I heard it from a friend who happened to be visiting General Ji's house for the Lunar New Year."
This friend must be very important to be able to visit General Ji's house for the Lunar New Year at this time.
Bai Yueran glanced at her and didn't say anything.
Tan Guiren couldn't sit still after hearing that.
Ever since Huo Shaoheng's mother, Song Jinning, personally told her to get together with Huo Shaoheng's father, Huo Guanchen, Tan Guiren had been ashamed and angry for a long time. She had already made up her mind not to contact Huo Shaoheng anymore.
Song Jinning was Huo Shaoheng's mother, and she had clearly expressed her dislike for her. Tan Guiren didn't want Huo Shaoheng to be stuck between his mother and her, so she had already taken the initiative to distance herself from Huo Shaoheng.
Although she had also been with the Military Art Troupe for the past two weeks, she had automatically blocked all news related to Huo Shaoheng.
The Military Art Troupe was a place for gossip, so she could hear all kinds of news every day.
Especially Huo Shaoheng, who was a single high-ranking general at such a young age and was extremely good-looking, he was the topic of everyone's conversation every day.
Under such circumstances, although Tan Guiren had a hard time holding it in, she had been holding it in.
It wasn't until now that she heard that Huo Shaoheng was injured that she felt the emotions she had painstakingly suppressed for the past two weeks burst out like a spring tide.
"Cousin, since Major General Huo is injured, why isn't he recuperating? His personal secretary isn't with him, so who's going to take care of him? "Tan Guiren had been holding it in but finally asked.
Cai Shengnan had been waiting for her to ask this question. She laughed dryly. "Who else could it be? Of course it's the almighty Gu Nianzhi! She's currently following Major General Huo as a nurse. Cousin, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you've lost to Gu Nianzhi in terms of shamelessness. "
"Miss Cai, please be careful with your words." Bai Yueran frowned. She was very unhappy to hear Cai Shengnan talk about Gu Nianzhi like that.
In her mind, Gu Nianzhi was part of the Special Operations Forces. She was a little girl who had grown up in the Special Operations Forces, so she couldn't tolerate others talking about her like that.
Moreover, Bai Yueran knew a thing or two about Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng. It wasn't like what Cai Shengnan had said at all.
Cai Shengnan wanted to incite Tan Guiren's common hatred for the enemy, so she said without mercy, "Am I wrong? That Gu Nianzhi clearly broke up with Major General Huo, but she shamelessly followed Major General Huo as a nurse. Actually, Major General Huo's injury isn't serious, and Gu Nianzhi doesn't have a nurse license. Why would she do that? Isn't it obvious to everyone what she's up to? "
"All in all, this woman is too utilitarian. She's so scheming. Cousin, you're so innocent. You're no match for her at all." Cai Shengnan placed a cup of milk tea in front of Tan Guiren and concluded.
"Shut up!" Bai Yueran couldn't take it anymore. She stood up with both hands in her trouser pockets and said with a sullen expression, "Miss Cai is indeed an internationally renowned lawyer. You're really good at stirring up trouble."
