Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1597: Being Parents

If someone of He Zhichu's status did not like the two gardeners at home, why would he go through so much trouble to fake a video and frame them?

No one in the entire empire would believe that.

"Young Master He provided this video?!"Jin Wanyi was dumbstruck. She stretched her neck, veins popping out on her forehead.

Gu Nianzhi used a laser pen to circle Wen Dayou and Liang Meili on the big screen. She said calmly, "Otherwise, why would the cold case be reopened? Of course, there's solid evidence."

Wen Shouyi looked down at her thumb. It had been bitten until it was bleeding, and her heart was throbbing with pain.

Gu Nianzhi looked at Wen Dayou and Liang Meili again and said sternly, "The defendants, Wen Dayou and Liang Meili, who is this child? Do you want me to tell you? !"

"She is me, the twelve-year-old Gu Nianzhi."

"When the lights were turned off, the two of you covered her face with a handkerchief dipped in Triazolam, also known as Tacholon."

"Tacholon is a benzodiazepine-type hypnotic drug. After improvements made by Qin Yaoguang's lab, the effective time has been reduced from fifteen minutes to 0.1 seconds."

"It was originally a light blue pill, but it can also dissolve in water and cover the nose and mouth. As long as you touch it for 0.1 seconds, it can produce a sedative hypnotic effect and also produce short-term memory loss."

"One of you, cover her nose and mouth and put a cloak over her body."

"One of you, take off her pink diamond crown and put a mask over her face."

"Then quickly pulled her to stand diagonally behind Young Master He."

Gu Nianzhi used a laser pen to circle the distance between the hooded and masked girl and He Zhichu. It was only two steps away, but they had been separated from each other ever since.

Gu Nianzhi was a little dazed when she thought of He Zhichu's face that day, which had been numb with pain after he found out the truth.

She closed her eyes and suppressed her emotions. She continued to talk about Wen Dayou and Liang Meili's modus operandi.

She spoke slowly and calmly, as if she was talking about an unrelated person.

Everyone in the courtroom was affected by her emotions. They looked at her sympathetically and worriedly.

Lu Jin, who was sitting next to Lu Yuan, had red rims in his eyes. Seeing his daughter suffer was more painful than seeing himself hurt.

At the front desk, Xiao Zhang and Jin Dazhuang listened attentively. Their hearts rose and fell, and they were filled with emotion.

She said to Jin Dazhuang in a low voice, "Boss, I think you've gotten a great deal. A genius like Lawyer Gu will bow down to be in your small law firm. You can be proud of yourself from now on."

Jin Dazhuang rolled his eyes at her. "Shut up and listen to the trial!"

Behind the dock, Wen Dayou and Liang Meili were trembling like sieves.

Gu Nianzhi stood in front of the dock and leaned forward slightly. There was a pressure in her voice that could not be ignored. She said calmly, "Why did I say that you kidnapped a minor?"

She raised a finger. "First, you went against my will and forcibly took me away from my family."

"Second, you used Triazolam to harm my body. The side effect of inhaling this drug is a short-term memory loss."

"Third, after Young Master He left the hall to chase after someone, you used violent means to forcefully take me away and gave me to the mastermind behind you."

"Speak, who is the mastermind behind you?!"

Wen Dayou and Liang Meili were shocked by her last sentence and looked at Wen Shouyi, who was sitting between them.

Gu Nianzhi immediately seized the opportunity and said,"… Wen Shouyi was the one who ordered you to kidnap me? So she could take my place?!"

"The mastermind was Wen Shouyi, wasn't it? !"

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water pouring on Wen Dayou and Liang Meili.

They stared at Gu Nianzhi and suddenly thought that if Gu Nianzhi blamed Wen Shouyi for this, then their daughter would have nothing left…

They all knew how smart and hardworking their daughter was.

She had worked so hard for so long to break away from their low class and climb to the top of the empire.

No, they couldn't let this ruin their daughter's future.

As parents, they were useless. They couldn't give their daughter much.

But they still had a life.

Their fear and panic gradually disappeared.

The two looked at each other. After so many years as husband and wife, they could tell what to do from each other's eyes.

Wen Shouyi didn't have time to care about her parents at this time. She was a little flustered, but she still said resolutely, "Lawyer Gu, please don't induce a confession! I already said that I didn't recognize the two of them. I only saw a man and a little girl get into the car. If you still want to pin the crime on me, I'll definitely appeal!"

Wen Dayou and Liang Meili held Wen Shouyi's hand together and smiled at her. "Shouyi, don't worry. You're innocent. It's Mom and Dad who let you down."

Liang Meili turned to Gu Nianzhi and said, "No, this has nothing to do with my daughter. She never said who those two people were. She never lied. If it was something she wasn't sure about, she would never say it."

Gu Nianzhi couldn't help laughing, she nodded and said, "Never lie, Wen Shouyi. Hmm, what else? Everyone in your family is quite thick-skinned. They've been exposed so many times, and yet they're still able to swear that they're honest people. This is the worst time an honest person has ever been defamed!"

Wen Dayou was no longer afraid. He said loudly, "Yes! We lied! There was no Gu Xiangwen! No one instigated us!"

"It was all done by Shouyi's mother and me. It has nothing to do with Shouyi! If you want to fight or kill, it's up to you. But you can't pin the crime on my daughter!"

"Yes! It was done by us! It has nothing to do with her! You're falsely accusing her!"

Liang Meili shouted, "I plead guilty. Shouyi's father and I did it. We thought Shouyi would be able to take your place if you weren't around. We would do anything for our daughter, let alone just get rid of you!"

Gu Nianzhi snorted and looked at Wen Shouyi. Her voice was a little low. "Wen Shouyi, are you just going to watch your parents take the blame for you and the people behind you?"

Wen Shouyi's face was pale. She looked at her parents with a pained expression and asked with a double entendre,"… why are you doing this?"

"Shouyi, Dad and Mom let you down. You're so smart, but you could only grow up in a worker's room."

"You work so hard, but you're still no match for those who were born to be reincarnated." Liang Meili glanced at Gu Nianzhi and spoke out all the grievances she had in her heart, she chattered, "Don't look at her now. She was fat and ugly when she was young. How could she compare to our Shouyi? The He family is really blind. They don't want our Shouyi, but they treat this lunatic's daughter like a treasure."

"Dad, Mom! Don't do this!" Wen Shouyi covered her face and cried, "I don't want that kind of status. I just want to be with you guys… Why are you guys so stupid…"

Gu Nianzhi looked over coldly.

Wen Shouyi's words were enough to pin the crime on her parents and completely exonerate herself.

Jin Wanyi's mouth was wide open. It took a while before she said,"… but Lawyer Gu was still with her father in the end? Didn't everyone see it?"

Gu Nianzhi patted the table in front of her, she said impatiently, "Which eye of yours saw that the person in the car was me? The fire was so big. If it was me, wouldn't I have been burned to death? My father was burned to death. How do you think I survived?"

"It wasn't you? But… but… that news video…" Jin Wanyi looked Gu Nianzhi up and down, confused.

"The resolution of the news video is so low that you can't even see a human face clearly, let alone a person in a car. Zoom in on the human face through the car window. Honestly, do you really think it was a person? Isn't it an illusion caused by light and shadow?" Gu Nianzhi waved her hand, "I don't admit it anyway. I'm standing here perfectly fine, which proves that I wasn't in the car that was on fire."

Wen Shouyi would never dare say anything about her going to the other side of the world, just like she would never reveal the person behind her.

Wen Shouyi would rather have her parents to be sentenced severely in order to protect Qin yaoguang.

Although Gu Nianzhi hated Wen Dayou and Liang Meili, who had aided and abetted the evil, she despised Wen Shouyi even more for having her parents bear all the blame.

She looked at her coldly and verbally called her a "beast.".

Wen Shouyi's pupils constricted. She quickly lowered her head and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

"Your Honor, although Wen Dayou and Liang Meili have confessed to kidnapping, there are still some suspicious points in this case."

"According to the evidence Wen Shouyi provided, why was the note written to Qin Yaoguang's lab 14 years ago sent to the He family on purpose to frame my father, Gu Xiangwen? It still needs to be thoroughly investigated."

"I want to apply to the court to summon Qin Yaoguang and the people from her lab to testify in court."
