Hello, Mr. Major General

Since Aiko Yamaguchi had even told Luo Jialan about this, Luo Jialan must have known that Yamaguchi Aiko was hunting Gu Nianzhi down in Germany. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spent so much money to fund Aiko Yamaguchi’s criminal activities.

Gu Nianzhi’s expression turned cold.

This was no longer an ordinary act of aiding and abetting. They were in cahoots, and their crimes were no different from each other.

Gu Nianzhi had never crossed paths with Luo Jialan, let alone harbored a grudge.

What was it about her that made Luo Jialan want to kill her?

Was it for Huo Shaoheng?

The corners of Gu Nianzhi’s eyes twitched. She couldn’t help but quickly click on her phone and send Huo Shaoheng a text message.

Huo Shaoheng was smoking when he heard the sound of a text message on his phone. He picked it up and read it.

[ Nez Here ] : Homme fatale! Rage, rage, rage. JPG.

Huo Shaoheng: ..

What on earth was going on in the ward?

Although Huo Shaoheng was puzzled, he still suppressed the urge to push the door open and enter. He only replied with a string of: [ ? ? ? ]

Gu Nianzhi smiled when she saw Huo Shaoheng’s reply. Her mood miraculously improved, and she even felt a little guilty…

Because what Luo Jialan had done had nothing to do with Huo Shaoheng.

She couldn’t blame Huo Shaoheng for being so popular, could she?

Gu Nianzhi’s gaze slowly fell on Luo Jialan’s sparkling eyes, and she was in a bad mood again. She said with a sullen face, “What’s wrong? Are you still thinking about how to lie? Don’t try to quibble. Yes, you weren’t laundering money, but actually paying for contract killing! ——Aiko Yamaguchi never existed, and you’ve been the mastermind behind the scenes all along!”

Luo Jialan was so frightened by Gu Nianzhi that she could only subconsciously deny it three times. “I didn’t! It wasn’t me! I didn’t do it!”

“Just because you said you didn’t do it means you didn’t do it?” Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to let Luo Jialan off the hook at all, so she ridiculed her further, “You’re clearly jealous of me. In order to steal my fiancé, you didn’t hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy a hitwoman to kill me in Germany. So I shouldn’t sue you for money laundering. I should sue you for murder!”

“Luo Jialan, you’re too vicious. A normal woman would only covet another woman’s man At most, she’ll become a mistress to steal someone else’s man. You’re directly going to exterminate the human body!”

Luo Jialan shook her head quickly. Tears were about to come out of her eyes. Paralyzed, she sat in front of Huo Xuenong’s hospital bed. She looked up and saw Huo Xuenong sitting on the bed without a word. She thought to herself, this is all your fault. If you hadn’t agreed, I wouldn’t have ended up like this…

However, Huo Xuenong acted as if he hadn’t seen her, and suddenly said to Gu Nianzhi, ” … Now that you’ve proven that it’s not money laundering, can you drop the money laundering charge?”

Huo Xuenong’s question even stunned someone as quick-WITTED as Gu Nianzhi.

Luo Jialan was even more shocked!

She was about to be charged with murder, but old master huo was still only concerned about whether the trust fund could be unfrozen!

This was too much!

How could Luo Jialan let Huo Xuenong stay out of this?

She gritted her teeth and finally said, “Grandfather Huo, have you forgotten what you promised me?!”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself that it has finally come to this, but she said, “Luo Jialan, don’t drag Grandfather Huo into this. Your trust fund doesn’t have anything to do with Grandfather Huo.”

Luo Jialan was so angry that she couldn’t breathe.

If Huo Xuenong hadn’t urgently asked her to transfer half of the trust fund to his cheap grandson, Zhang Wenjie, how could she have alerted Gu Nianzhi and got her trust fund frozen in advance?!

Then she got cornered and was forced to tell her everything about Aiko Yamaguchi!

No wonder Aiko Yamaguchi made her vow to never mention her name in front of Gu Nianzhi…

But how did she know that Gu Nianzhi had been present when Aiko Yamaguchi “died at the hands of Pirates” in the Caribbean sea?!

Luo Jialan kept cursing Aiko Yamaguchi inside. She wanted nothing more than to drag her out and give her a good beating.

Gu Nianzhi waved the arrest warrant in front of Luo Jialan to further provoke her. “Luo Jialan, open your eyes and take a good look at this arrest warrant! ——I just want to remind you that Huaxia Empire has the death penalty! ”

Luo Jialan was so frightened that she turned around and knelt in front of Huo Xuenong’s sickbed. She reached out with both hands and grabbed Huo Xuenong’s arm. “Grandfather Huo! Grandfather Huo! Help me testify that Aiko Yamaguchi really existed!”

Huo Xuenong’s pupils dilated and he pushed Luo Jialan away forcefully. He frowned and said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Have you forgotten?! When we were in France, Aiko Yamaguchi came to the Xie Manor one day to pick me up. You even met her!”

Although it was only a fleeting glance at the manor’s entrance and Huo Xuenong had never spoken to Aiko Yamaguchi, he had indeed met her once.

However, Huo Xuenong had always been disdainful towards the Japanese. Although he didn’t stop Luo Jialan from interacting with Aiko Yamaguchi, he himself wouldn’t acknowledge Aiko Yamaguchi.

Luo Jialan only hoped that Huo Xuenong could prove that Aiko Yamaguchi was still alive at that time and didn’t die in the Caribbean Sea. At least, she wasn’t the main perpetrator of the murder.

At this juncture, Luo Jialan could no longer make a choice.

She could only choose the lesser of the two evils.

Huo Xuenong was furious.

He could already tell that Aiko Yamaguchi wasn’t a good person. At that time, he had only glanced at the entrance of France. He didn’t even get a clear look at the woman’s face. Yet she wanted him to testify for her and drag him into this mess?!

Ha, what a dream!

Huo Xuenong closed his eyes and his overpowering vibe suddenly waned. He leaned back against the big pillow weakly and said, “Jialan, don’t force me to say something untruthful. I don’t remember seeing such a person. How could I testify for you?”

Luo Jialan widened her eyes and her mouth went agape. Huo Xuenong’s words kept echoing in her mind.

” … I don’t remember seeing such a person at all… ”

” … I don’t remember seeing such a person at all… ”

” … I don’t remember seeing such a person at all… ”

Was he trying to burn bridges before crossing the river?!

Luo Jialan held onto Huo Xuenong’s bed and kneeled down straight. She begged again in anguish. “Grandfather Huo, I beg you, please think again! Think again! It was Aiko Yamaguchi who came to have dinner with me and go shopping that day. We met you at the entrance of the manor…”

As if he hadn’t heard Luo Jialan, Huo Xuenong closed his eyes.

Luo Jialan begged and pleaded, but Huo Xuenong didn’t say a single word.

Gu Nianzhi continued to discourage her, ” … Luo Jialan, I advise you not to do anything useless. Grandfather Huo Huo used to be a general in the Huaxia Empire’s military. Why would he perjure himself for you? You’d better go with your comrades in the Special Operations Forces and tell them how you hired a contract killer. On account of the fact that you’re the daughter of a war hero, I’ll plead with the court not to sentence you to death.”

However, if she was convicted, even if it wasn’t the death penalty, it would still be life imprisonment!

Then what was the point of her living?

She might as well die!

However, before she died, she had to drag a few people down with her.

Luo Jialan’s face darkened. She lowered her head and gripped the edge of the thin quilt on Huo Xuenong’s sickbed tightly with both hands. She muttered, “Grandfather Huo, as long as you can testify for me, I’ll agree to any stipulation of yours!”

“Tsk Tsk, Luo Jialan, do you think lawyer Cai and I are dead? Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have money when you’re talking about bribing witnesses in front of us? Besides, the trust fund has already been frozen. You don’t have to make empty promises.” Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms as she scoffed.

Luo Jialan turned to look at her. Gu Nianzhi didn’t hide her disdain at all. She looked at her as if she was looking at a pile of trash.

Luo Jialan glared at her resentfully. She trembled and turned around, then said to Huo Xuenong, ” … Grandfather Huo, are you really going to leave me to die? We discussed the stipulations, so are you really not going to fulfill our agreement? You promised me that if I transferred half of the trust fund to your grandson, Zhang Wenjie, you would let me marry Major General Huo!”

Huo Xuenong opened his eyes wide and sat up straight. He waved his fists and roared, “I’m ignoring you, so you start talking more and more outrageous nonsense? ! When did I. . . ”

“Grandfather Huo, you didn’t think that with just one word from you, I’ll give you half of my assets, did you?” Luo Jialan supported herself on the edge of the bed and struggled to stand up. “I recorded what you said to me back then. ——In preparation for this day!”

Luo Jialan was well aware of how heartless Huo Xuenong was.

In order to prevent him from going back on his word and burning the bridge after crossing it, she had also used some tricks to secretly record the negotiations between the two of them.

Huo Xuenong’s voice came to an abrupt stop, and his face was full of shock. “What… What did you say? ! You actually recorded it?!”

When Xie Shenxing heard Luo Jialan’s words, he was the first to scowl. “Huo Xuenong, when did you have a grandson with the surname Zhang?! Don’t you only have one grandson, Shaoheng?”

Xie Shenxing actually knew about Huo Xuenong’s relationship with head nurse Zhang, but he would never acknowledge that Zhang Feng and Huo Xuenong had a relationship.

Even if they had a grandchildren, Xie Shenxing still wouldn’t find such a person. He treated the Zhang Family as insignificant passersbies.

Gu Nianzhi also asked curiously, ” … Why did Luo Jialan have to give half of the trust fund to Zhang Wenjie? How strange. This was Uncle Huo’s inheritance, and also old Madam Xie’s inheritance… If I remember correctly, this was her dowry, which was her pre-marital property. How could she give it to the grandson of a mistress? This is too outrageous isn’t it?

She shook her head and smiled. “I don’t believe it. Grandfather Huo can’t be so brainless and shameless. Luo Jialan must be lying again, right?”

Huo Xuenong’s face was red. He couldn’t care less about the sarcasm in Gu Nianzhi’s words. He nodded with his face red. “Yes, she’s lying. I couldn’t possibly say something like that.”

He knew very well that the key point about the secret between him and Luo Jialan was the word “secret”.

Once this matter was exposed, it would be completely destroyed, just like a photographic film.

Therefore, he denied it outright and said, “Luo Jialan is full of lies. Even the audio recording can’t be trusted. It must be a forgery.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded in agreement. “You’re right. Luo Jialan does like to lie. I just exposed her for lying to us about a dead person, and now she’s blaming you for it. She doesn’t know how to repent. She’s gone too far.”

Gu Nianzhi’s every word put immense pressure on Luo Jialan.

Luo Jialan’s mind buzzed. The last thread of her rationality was finally snapped by Gu Nianzhi.
