Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1585: Going All Out

Wen Shouyi's heart sank. How could this be possible?

How could there be evidence from eight years ago? Wasn't this far-fetched?

Wen Shouyi tried her best to maintain her poise and said calmly, "You've listed me as the defendant? Didn't you make a mistake?"

"This is the court's decision. The plaintiff's lawyer submitted new evidence yesterday. After the court examined it, they found that there were indeed doubts, so they allowed her request." The court staff took out a receipt and asked Wen Shouyi to sign it. It indicated that she had received the court summons herself.

Wen Shouyi's face darkened as she signed her name on the receipt.

After the court staff left, Wen Shouyi called Gu Nianzhi directly.

Fortunately, Gu Nianzhi did not block her.

"Gu Nianzhi, what do you want?" Wen Shouyi questioned her rudely as soon as the call went through. "Didn't you say you wouldn't rely on the He family's influence?! Now you have to swallow your words!"

Gu Nianzhi held her phone and stood calmly by the window while feeding the goldfish. She said calmly, "If I really relied on the He family's influence, you and your parents wouldn't even have a chance to be publicly interrogated. Don't you know how you do things here?"

Wen Shouyi choked for a moment, but didn't agree with Gu Nianzhi. She sneered. "You're playing this game with me? If it wasn't for the fact that the court knew it was related to the He family, do you think they would have scheduled it so quickly? The case I'm working on was filed last year, and there hasn't been a trial until now. It's already been scheduled for three years!"

Gu Nianzhi threw away the fish food in her hand, and she said unhurriedly, "My case was filed eight years ago. After waiting for eight years, it should have been scheduled according to what you said. What right do you have to say that I used the He family's influence to get the court to schedule it ahead of time? You always accuse me of using my power to bully others. You say that over there and here. You really don't know how shameless you are, do you?"

"That's an unsolved case. Can you count it that way?" Wen Shouyi flew into a rage out of humiliation. She had not expected that Gu Nianzhi would accidentally take advantage of the loophole in the law.

"Of course I can. As long as a case involving the physical safety of a minor is opened, there is no retrospective period. No matter how long it takes, we must investigate it until the murderer is brought to justice. Wen Shouyi, I really admire this law of yours."

Gu Nianzhi smiled as she went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She slowly wiped the back of her hands with the rose-green hand cream.

Wen Shouyi was rendered speechless by Gu Nianzhi's words, but she couldn't let it go. She was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "In essence, you're using your power to persecute us poor people who don't have any power. Gu Nianzhi, you have to be lenient when you can. You're pursuing this relentlessly, but you've thought about the end result. It's not necessarily what you want."

"How do you know what the end result is?" Gu Nianzhi looked up at herself in the mirror. Her big eyes were still dark, her skin was a little pale, and her full lips were pale.

She looked at the mirror and said word by word, "I just want the people who harmed me to pay the price they deserve. No more, no less. This is the legal justice I seek."

"Ha." Wen Shouyi found it ridiculous. "Gu Nianzhi, the kind of justice you seek will never be achieved. Because we live in the same world. Where there are people, there will be humanity. You'll regret using inhumane laws."

Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "Tell that to the judge and the jury. See if they'll give a damn about you."

Gu nianzhi hung up the phone. She thought about it and blocked Wen Shouyi's number.

As the plaintiff and self-defense lawyer, it wasn't appropriate for her to have private contact with Wen Shouyi.

..

During lunch, Gu Nianzhi asked He Zhichu, "Young Master He, did you give my phone number to Wen Shouyi?"

He Zhichu didn't even look up. He patiently cut the steak and said, "No, I didn't give your number to anyone."

He Zhichu had applied for Gu Nianzhi's cell phone number.

He Chengjian coughed unnaturally.

He did not say anything, but Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood. She looked at He Chengjian and said, "General He knew my cell phone number and told Dean Qin, didn't he? Wen Shouyi must have gotten it from Dean Qin."

He Chengjian did not expect Gu Nianzhi to figure it out with just a cough. He smiled wryly and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you and your mother would be at loggerheads."

Gu Nianzhi lowered her head silently and did not say anything else.

After lunch, Gu Nianzhi went back to her room to take a nap.

Before she went to bed, she took out her phone and browsed Weibo.

In the end, she found a piece of news about her on Weibo that was trending.

It was the case of the He family's missing minor from eight years ago.

The headline was sensational and eye-catching: [ The mischievous girl left home for eight years and returned to send the servants of the rich and powerful family to prison because of a minor incident. ].

Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened and she sat up from the bed.

She had underestimated Wen Shouyi after all…

She had even dared to implicate the He family. Was she going to go all out?

Gu Nianzhi pointed inside and couldn't help laughing.

It was as if someone had given her a pillow just as she was about to fall asleep. Her luck had come.

It turned out that the news implied that there was something else going on with her case. However, the plaintiff had chosen to be bully and only dared to sue the two gardeners who had been scapegoats. She didn't dare to pursue the real culprit.

She also secretly said that the case that had just come to light was going to be tried immediately by the court. There were so many cases with clues, but they had to go through a lengthy schedule. It was clear that the powerful had an advantage in the law.

This last one hit the hearts of the majority of the netizens.

There was the end of the Internet trolls again. They liked and commented on the case one after another, and it quickly became a hot topic on Weibo.

Gu Nianzhi's case had gone viral before it had even been tried, and the court and police system were under immense pressure.

Thinking about whether or not she should go up against them, she sat in her room, but her eyes darted around, and she had a new idea.

She immediately sent Lu Jin a text message: "Lion King, I'll be moving out soon."

Lu Jin was overjoyed, and immediately sent her an address: "This is an elegant room for rent, a well-decorated hotel-style apartment, three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and two guards. The entrance is strictly guarded, and there are 24-hour security guards patrolling the neighborhood. It's very suitable for professionals to live in."

Gu Nianzhi did not expect that she would have a reason to move out of the He family house so soon and live with her father. She really had to give Wen Shouyi, who had been tireless in teaching her, a thumbs up.

She smiled and went to He Zhichu's room, then knocked on the door.

He Zhichu sat on the sofa and waited for her. "Come in."

He was holding a glass of red wine. He had already taken a few sips. His face was a little red, as if he was drunk. His almond-shaped eyes were a little blurry.

Gu Nianzhi pushed the door open and stood at the door, looking aggrieved. "Young Master He, I think it's better for me to move out."

"What's wrong?" His voice a little hoarse, He Zhichu rubbed his temples. "You're not used to living here? Why don't you stay in my own apartment?"

"No need." Gu Nianzhi walked in and handed him her phone. "Look, I'm still living in the He family's estate. I can't shake off this reputation of bullying the weak."

He Zhichu read the hot news in one glance, and his eyes twitched. "I'll get someone to deal with it."

"Don't do it." Gu Nianzhi quickly stopped him. "If you do it, it'll really prove that I'm bullying the weak."

Gu Nianzhi knew the ins and outs of this place too well.

How could online netizens not know the power of deleting posts and silencing people?

That would only confirm the rumor.

"Then what do you want?" His almond-shaped eyes fixed on her, He Zhichu leaned back on the sofa. "Are we just going to watch them create rumors?"

"Of course not. But before the first trial tomorrow, I don't want to do anything to them. After the first trial is over, I'll collect evidence and sue them."

For the media that loved to spread rumors and attract attention, only the law could teach them how to behave.

Otherwise, they would really think that they were the "uncrowned king" and that they were popular celebrities.

They would not give them the chance to be "thieves shouting for thieves to be caught".

He Zhichu nodded. "It's good that you know what you're doing, but I'm worried about your safety after you move out."

Gu Nianzhi smiled and spread out her hands. "How can that be? Young Master He, this is the capital, the best place in the world. Do you have so little confidence in your city's safety? Don't worry, even if I move out, I'll be renting an apartment in a first-class neighborhood. I won't let myself suffer!"

She showed him Lu Jin's address. "Look here. It's a furnished hotel-style apartment for rent. It has three bedrooms and two living rooms. It's just right for me to live alone."

He Zhichu narrowed his eyes at her and shook her hand. "Okay, I'll send you there?"

"No need. I'll drive your car there myself." Gu Nianzhi smiled. "Since you acknowledge me as your sister, It's okay for your sister to drive your car, right?"

"Aren't you afraid that people will say that you're a bully?" He Zhichu scratched her nose. "You're so smart. Do you think I don't know what you're up to? Alright, go ahead. Children will eventually leave home when they grow up."

Gu Nianzhi: "? ? ?"

Was there really nothing wrong with that fatherly tone of his?
