Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1598: It Was like Water and Fire

Seeing the ups and downs of this unsolved case that had been frozen for eight years, it also dragged in one person after another that no one had noticed before.

Gu Xiangwen, the "culprit" who had previously been nailed down, quietly stayed out of the matter. Unknowingly, his daughter had cleared his name.

The judge was very emotional, but he still said calmly on the surface, "Let's adjourn for 15 minutes today. I'll discuss the progress of the case with the two jurors."

As he spoke, the judge and the two jurors left the bench.

A few bailiffs walked over and detained Wen Dayou, Liang Meili, and Wen Shouyi separately to prevent them from colluding.

Jin Wanyi sat alone in the dock, her face was pale and she was looking straight. She did not pack her things. No one knew what she was thinking.

Gu Nianzhi was in a relaxed mood. She turned off her laptop and disconnected from the big screen in the courtroom. She turned off the laptop and turned to Lu Yuan and Lu Jin with a radiant smile.

Lu Jin was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. He pushed Lu Yuan up and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and congratulate her! I'll go with you!"

The relationship between Lu Yuan and Gu Nianzhi was open. Both Jin Dazhuang and the receptionist, Xiao Zhang, knew about it.

Today, he had come in the name of inspecting the quality of the law firm's lawyers, so he would not let others think too much of it when he congratulated Gu Nianzhi.

If Lu Jin acted too friendly in front of others, it would be too eye-catching.

Lu Yuan asked curiously, "Huh? Aren't you a person with interpersonal disorder? Why are you suddenly so considerate of others?"

Lu Jin stared at him righteously, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "How can it be the same? What disorder problem do I have with my own daughter? If I don't think for my own daughter, don't tell me I should think for those irrelevant people?!"

Lu Yuan snorted, stood up and said, "It seems that I belong to the irrelevant people."

He didn't know how many times he had to clean up the mess over the years.

Lu Jin pushed him away from behind and said, "It's good that you know."

Lu Yuan: "! ! !"

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had a life-and-death relationship, Lu Yuan would have quit long ago.

He walked over from the gallery with a serious expression and reached out his hand to Gu Nianzhi. He said seriously, "Lawyer Gu, Congratulations. Today's court debate was very interesting. It looks like our company has gotten a great deal. A lawyer like you is worth at least ten times the contract."

Lu Jin quickly said, "That's right, that's right! Let's go back and sign a new contract. Ten Times! Ten Times!"

Gu Nianzhi: "…"

Lu Yuan was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. He wished he could cover Lu Jin's mouth with his hand. He turned around and reprimanded Lu Jin in a low voice, "Don't butt in on business matters."

He turned to Gu Nianzhi and said, "His words are not counted."

Gu Nianzhi: "…"

"Lawyer Gu, President Lu really thinks highly of you!" Xiao Zhang, the receptionist, also came over to talk to her. Lu Jin had no choice but to step aside and watch helplessly as Gu Nianzhi was surrounded by Jin Dazhuang, Lu Yuan, and Xiao Zhang, the receptionist.

When Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang came over to join in the fun, Lu Jin was completely marginalized.

Fortunately, he usually had an expressionless poker face in front of others. At this moment, he was standing far away and his face was full of hostility. It was strangely consistent with his usual way of dealing with people, so no one suspected him at all.

Lu Yuan saw Lu Jin's unhappy face and felt relieved.

He smiled at Gu Nianzhi and said, "Your case has been decided. Congratulations. Director Lu and I still have some matters to attend to, so we won't wait for your closing statement. We'll make a move first and celebrate your victory when we get back."

He shook hands with Gu Nianzhi as he spoke, turned around, and left the courtroom with Lu Jin.

Lu Jin was so angry that his entire body stiffened. He was almost dragged by Lu Yuan out of the imperial capital's Intermediate People's Court.

The moment he got into the car, Lu Jin couldn't hold it in any longer. He shouted at Lu Yuan, "You can leave by yourself. Why are you dragging me with you?! I didn't even get a chance to speak to my own daughter!"

"If I leave you there and speak, I can guarantee you won't see the sun tomorrow." Lu Yuan laughed coldly and started the car. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Lu Jin was still staring at him. He added, "Nianzhi won't see the sun Tomorrow either."

Lu Jin was stunned.

He also knew that it was very difficult for him to remain calm in front of others, especially when his own daughter was so outstanding and brilliant. How could he bear it?

However, if he couldn't bear it, his true identity would be discovered at any moment. At that time, he wouldn't be the only one in danger.

If he was in danger, he didn't care. But if his daughter was in danger, that would be his weakness.

Lu Yuan smiled as he drove away, thinking that he had finally found a way to cure Lu Jin's "interpersonal disorder"…

…

After Lu Yuan and Lu Jin left, Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang became even more at ease, and even started joking with Gu Nianzhi.

Jin Wanyi looked over there and sneered a few times before she started packing her things.

She had not expected that the case that she had thought she would win turned out to be her career's "Waterloo".

Jin Wanyi's undefeated battle record had been ruined by a young girl.

Jin Wanyi's heart was filled with uneasiness.

If only she had known earlier, she wouldn't have accepted Wen Shouyi's case.

But she had thought that Wen Shouyi was much more capable than her, and her opponent was a recent graduate. How capable could she be?

Jin Wanyi knew her own abilities. All these years, she had only taken on cases where she was certain she would win. That was why she had developed such an "undefeated record.".

She had been walking too much in the dark, and finally she ran into ghosts.

She glanced hatefully at Gu Nianzhi, then took her briefcase and went to see Wen Shouyi.

Wen Shouyi, Wen Dayou, and Liang Meili were each held separately, but as Jin Wanyi was their lawyer, she could see them at any time.

She first went to the room where Wen Shouyi was being held and knocked on the door.

Wen Shouyi sat on the only chair in the middle of the room with her head lowered. Her expression was not very good, but she was still in good spirits.

Jin Wanyi sighed and said, "You're killing me."

"I'm sorry…" Wen Shouyi said in a low voice, "I owe you a favor. When this case is over, I won't treat you unfairly."

"I'm not blaming you. It's just that Gu Nianzhi is too cunning. How could such a person be Dean Qin's biological daughter?"

Jin Wanyi rolled her eyes. Although Wen Shouyi's parents would be sentenced, she would definitely be fine in person. When this case was over, Qin Yaoguang's side would definitely value Wen Shouyi more. She had lost the case, but it was a good thing, the resources in the future would definitely be better.

Wen Shouyi nodded and said indifferently, "But as mother and daughter, they are like fire and water. They don't want each other to live well, so you don't have to worry about offending her."

"I know." Jin Wanyi secretly inquired about the He family. "But I heard that although Young Master He broke off the engagement with her, He also took her as his sister…"

"Yes, that's true. But do you think the wife is close, or is the younger sister close?" Wen Shouyi didn't even lift her eyelids, easily dispelling Jin Wanyi's doubts.

Jin Wanyi's heart relaxed, and she became even more enthusiastic towards Wen Shouyi. "So that's the case. Then I'm relieved."

She chatted casually with Wen Shouyi about the progress of the case, and coincidentally, neither of them mentioned the matter of Wen Dayou and Liang Meili.

It was as if the two of them were not her main clients at all.

…

Fifteen minutes later, the judge and the two jurors returned.

Wen Dayou, Liang Meili, and Wen Shouyi were all brought over by the bailiff.

Jin Wanyi also returned to the dock and sat down with her clients.

Gu Nianzhi also returned to the dock, while her friends and family members returned to the gallery.

The judge had just checked the information on Qin Yaoguang and her lab, he said to Gu Nianzhi, "Qin Yaoguang and her lab work closely with the military, and their security level is very high. We can't issue subpoenas to them just based on the level of our court. We have to go through the military supreme council before we can issue subpoenas to them."

Gu Nianzhi was stunned for a moment, but she quickly remembered Qin Yaoguang's "memory removal surgery"- she was working with the military. She quickly said, "Okay, we'll apply through the proper channels and issue subpoenas to them."

"Okay, but you'll have to wait." The judge spread his hands regretfully and announced, "For the current case, Ms. Wen Shouyi has been temporarily eliminated as a suspect and can be released on bail. Wen Dayou and Liang Meili will be transferred to the Imperial Capital Prison's detention center to await official sentencing."

Gu Nianzhi glanced at Wen Shouyi, and Wen Shouyi happened to look over as well.

The two of them laughed at the same time, but one had a cold look in her eyes, while the other had a venomous gaze. They both knew that the war between them had only just begun.

…

In the study room of the He family's mansion, He Chengjian and He Zhichu were sitting together and began to watch the video of the trial that the court had sent over.

Although outsiders in the court could not record it, the court had its own surveillance video.

As Gu Nianzhi slowly revealed the many unknowns behind the case, He Zhichu's face darkened even though he was mentally prepared.

"Good, good, good! This is the He family's good servants!" He slammed his fist on the desk. "Dad, these people have wild ambitions. You're letting them off too easily!"

He Chengjian was a little absent-minded.

He looked at the video of the delicate and lively young girl with her lotus-like tongue. She was free and easy, and her arguments were endless. Her every movement had a bit of Qin Suwen's temperament, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

How many years had it been?

Qin Suwen had already become the deepest part of his heart that he couldn't touch. Many women had imitated Qin Suwen's appearance, wanting to get close to him.

However, no matter who it was, they did not have Qin Suwen's unique temperament. It was an inner foundation that overshadowed appearances and figures.

No one could learn it.

However, he could see this kind of charm in Gu Nianzhi.

"… Nianzhi's appearance at the trial really resembles your mother… you two are obviously a match made in heaven…" He Chengjian said faintly, "Ah Chu, are you sure you don't want to marry her? I really hope that you can marry her and have another little daughter like her. I'll retire right away and help you take care of your child personally…"

He Zhichu's eyes twitched. He felt as if his father had stabbed a few more holes in his already riddled heart.

He rubbed his temples. "Don't bring this up again. I already said that the engagement has been annulled."

Gu Nianzhi had a fierce temper. She would rather die instead of being forced. He did not want and dare to force her…

He Chengjian let out a long sigh and waved his hand, "That's enough. I'm really old. There are so many ghosts and monsters in the house, but I haven't cleaned them up yet. I'll have someone redo the political review at home immediately. If there's any problem, we'll immediately hand it over to the relevant departments for investigation. No one will be spared!"

He Zhichu replied and asked, "Also, what's going on with Qin Yaoguang and her lab? When did they cooperate with the military?"

He remembered that when he was still here, Qin Yaoguang and her lab had nothing to do with the military.

He Chengjian frowned and said, "It's her memory-stripping surgery. As this surgery is of great importance, after every military magnetic field experiment, she has to perform the surgery. Therefore, the military gave her a very high level of security. In addition, her lab provided technical support during the operation, so her lab is also on the military's cooperation list."
