The reason why Xie Hongbo had chosen this time to hand over Gu Qinghua and the Gu family's information to the prosecutors was that he was certain that Gu Qinghua would not dare to cause any more trouble when the Gu family was facing internal and external troubles. He would not dare to expose any more problems.
However, Xie Hongbo had guessed wrong. In front of the prosecutors, Grandfather Gu not only admitted to his own problems, but also confessed everything.
As Grandfather Gu confessed his mistakes, Xie Hongbo's matter was also fully explained.
As Grandfather Gu's confession gradually deepened, the expressions on the faces of the three prosecutors became more and more interesting.
Because there had been some rumors recently that vaguely pointed to Xie Hongbo, his colleagues had also been secretly sorting out Xie Hongbo's information.
The small problems he had found about Xie Hongbo were not small, but he had never thought that the big problem would be waiting here.
The most shocking thing was the fact that Xie Hongbo had an improper relationship with multiple women.
"You're saying that when Xie Hongbo held the highest position in the Second Army, he used his position to force or induce many women to have sexual relations with him. He also maintained a secret relationship with them and caused Yang Wanni to get pregnant? The child Yang Wanni gave birth to was Gu Yaobai, whom you adopted before? "The prosecutor found the main point from Grandfather Gu's confession and asked for confirmation.
Grandfather Gu lowered his eyes and did not say anything, but his attitude was obviously a tacit agreement.
"Is what you said true?" The prosecutor asked again.
Grandfather Gu nodded.
The three people opposite him looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Although Xie Hongbo had now retired to the second line, he was still a person of virtue and prestige in the military.
It was understandable that someone in a high position had some small problems and violated some rules, but if what Gu Qinghua said was true and Xie Hongbo really used his power to do that kind of thing, then his personality was completely different.
"Why did Yang Wanni come to you?"
"The last night I stayed in the hospital for observation, the surveillance footage was destroyed. Xie Hongbo forged some 'evidence' to make Yang Wanni mistakenly think that I had done something to her while she was asleep. Xie Hongbo did not admit that the child was his, so Yang Wanni could only come to me. "
Hearing this, the prosecutor frowned. "Why did Xie Hongbo do this?"
"He has no other choice, does he?" After a pause, Grandpa Gu said, "The military chief made a nurse in the hospital pregnant. After this news spread, he no longer thinks about his position or future."
"As for why you chose me, I can only say that I am the best choice."
"Xie Hongbo is my teacher. I owe him a debt of gratitude. At the same time, he is my superior. My future is in his hands. He asked me to help him raise that child. I have no choice."
What he said made sense.
"Then, how are you sure that the child is Xie Hongbo's?" The prosecutor asked.
Old Master Gu lowered his eyes and said slowly, "In order to investigate the surveillance footage and prove my innocence, I took the A-level surveillance footage without permission." The A-level combat readiness surveillance was extraordinary. It could not be accessed or changed without special circumstances. Even if it was to be accessed, it would require an order from the higher-ups or two or more senior military leaders to do so.
Usually, even Xie Hongbo couldn't monitor the combat readiness.
Back then, Old Master Gu had indeed used some special methods to illegally obtain part of the surveillance footage.
It was because of this that he was able to find out about the relationship between Xie Hongbo, Yang Wanni, and the other children.
"After that, I took Xie Hongbo's blood sample to do a DNA test. The results of the test should be archived in the laboratory of 43rd Affiliated Military Medical University."
The prosecutor narrowed his eyes.
Accessing the combat readiness surveillance footage was not a small mistake at the time.
However, compared to the other problems, the punishment for this problem was not the heaviest.
Moreover, if it could be proven that Gu Yaobai was the child of Xie Hongbo and Yang Wanni, then Gu Qinghua's information regarding collusion with the enemy would need to be investigated.
However, whether Gu Qinghua was telling the truth or not still required evidence to support it.
"I will investigate the things you asked me to do."
"Now, I will ask you one last question." The leader looked deeply at Old Master Gu and asked, "Do you have anything to do with Yang Wanni's death?"
No one would have thought that Yang Wanni, a nurse from the military hospital, would become a key figure.
Although the information stated that Yang Wanni died of illness, it seemed that there was something fishy about her death.
"No." Old Master Gu shook his head. Grandpa Gu shook his head. He looked at the three of them and said, "But regarding her death, I did some investigations."
"When Yang Wanni was' seriously ill, 'the person in charge of taking care of her was called Zhou Yuehua. Zhou Yuehua was also responsible for filling out her hospitalization records. If we can find that person, we should be able to find out the truth."
"You didn't find out?"
Old Master Gu shook his head. "When I sent people to investigate, Zhou Yuehua had already resigned."
The prosecutor nodded and said with a serious expression, "Okay, I will investigate. I hope what you said is true."
If there was another reason for Yang Wanni's death, then the only people related to it were Gu Qinghua and Xie Hongbo.
Old Master Gu's tone was calm and did not seem to be lying. If it was not him, then the person responsible for Yang Wanni's death was most likely Xie Hongbo.
"Before the situation is clear, I will have to trouble you to stay at my place."
"No problem, I will cooperate."

On the other side, at the Gu residence.
When Gu Xi returned home, he was shocked to hear that Old Master Gu had been taken away by the prosecutor.
"Grandpa was taken away?" Gu Chenyi asked with a horrified expression.
"Grandpa was only cooperating with the prosecutor's investigation. He was not taken away," Gu Feng explained.
"So they just asked him some questions?" Gu Xi asked with a worried expression.
"Yes, they just asked him to answer some questions." Gu Feng rubbed Gu Xi's head and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa will be fine."
Hearing his uncle's words, Gu Xi's expression looked better, but he could not help but worry. "Then when will Grandpa be back?"
"Soon, probably in two days."
Hearing this, Gu Xi nodded. Then, he thought of something and looked up to ask, "Should I give Grandpa something? And Grandpa's blood pressure medicine. "
"When Sir left, he took his blood pressure medication and coat with him," Butler Zhou said from the side.
Gu Feng nodded and said to Gu Xi, "The other things will be prepared."
After saying this, Gu Feng looked at Gu Shao, Gu Xuan, and Cui Min and said, "Grandpa's situation over there is not bad, and he will give them special treatment. We have already informed them of the other things to take note of, so it will be fine."
The Gu family had already expected that Xie Hongbo would reveal the things he knew about the Gu family. Therefore, the adults of the Gu family were quite calm about the fact that Old Master Gu had been taken away by the prosecutor.
"Also," Gu Feng paused and chuckled, "I heard that our boss has also taken advantage of Xie Hongbo."
Hearing this, Gu Xuan also laughed. "Haha, this is our father's style."
"Xie will not sit still and wait for death. During this period of time, keep a close eye on the strangers under him. Also, Big Brother and Big Sister-In-Law should also take note of them at work," Gu Shao instructed.
Gu Xuan nodded.

Just as Gu Xi was counting his fingers and waiting for Old Master Gu to come back, two days had passed, but Old Master Gu still did not come back.
However, he heard that Xie Hongbo had also been taken away for investigation.
Even though Xie Hongbo had retired, he had not completely left the military. In the military, Xie Hongbo was a person of virtue and prestige. Not only did he have a wide range of connections, but he also had many students. This made Xie Hongbo's reputation outside the military was very good.
Therefore, when the news of Xie Hongbo being "taken away" spread, many people were surprised.
Some people were even discussing in private whether they had made a mistake and whether Xie Hongbo had been framed by someone.
Some of these comments were made by passers-by, but most of them were made by Xie Hongbo.
Xie Hongbo's counterattack was within the Gu family's expectations.
Xie Hongbo, who had been "taken away", denied all the accusations against him and firmly said that the so-called problems and evidence were all framed by the Gu family.
Xie Hongbo had done everything secretly. In addition, he had cleaned up everything that could be cleaned up. As a result, the prosecutors did not find much strong evidence to convict Xie Hongbo.
The matter was temporarily at a stalemate.
On one hand, it was a soldier who was over 80, had no children, and was clean. On the other hand, it was the Gu family who had gradually turned to business and was rich. When comparing the two, others were naturally more willing to believe the former.
Time gradually turned to Xie Hongbo's side.
It was also at this time that Xie Hongbo took the initiative to reveal to the prosecution that Yang Wanni's matter was framed by Gu Qinghua. He and Yang Wanni were simply mentors and helpful friends. Yang Wanni had only come to his house this time to learn poetry.
In order to prove this point, Xie Hongbo specially used the poem that Yang Wanni had written when she was at his house as evidence. He also found the auntie who had cooked at his house to testify.
According to Xie Hongbo's explanation, the person who was truly righteous and evil was Gu Qinghua.
Gu Qinghua was the one who had committed adultery with Yang Wanni. After the incident, in order to cover up the truth, Gu Qinghua destroyed the surveillance at that time, including the combat readiness surveillance. In order to prevent the incident from escalating, he raised Yang Wanni's child at home. Whether it was Yang Wanni's death, Gu Yaobai's appearance not long ago, or the so-called headless evidence that pointed to him, they were all set up by the Gu family to frame him.
The reason why Gu Qinghua framed him was because he found out about some of his illegal activities. As long as Gu Qinghua took him down, he would be able to take over and cover up all those problems.
Xie Hongbo's explanation seemed reasonable, and Grandfather Gu's actions back then seemed to confirm Xie Hongbo's statement.
The situation was beginning to turn against the Gu family.
However, at this time, the Gu family was not as gloomy and helpless as Xie Hongbo had imagined.
In the Gu family's study, Gu Shao calmly made a call. "Send her over."
