Chapter 1790: Chapter 1790 who gave him the courage
He zhichu touched his chin and suppressed the anxiety and discomfort in his heart. He said without batting an eyelid, “Are those two thieves? Trying to steal something from the basement? Are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure,”the lawyer said firmly. He had full trust in his client.
Because his client was very rich. Although he kept a low profile, everyone in their circle knew about it.
The two young men had sneaked into his basement. weren’t they trying to steal something?
The lawyer had a preconceived idea and had already concluded that the two men were definitely up to no good.
To him, the rich were the reason.
Those without money were not worthy to reason with him.
“HMM, then what did your client lose?”He Zhichu asked expressionlessly with his hands in his trouser pockets.
The lawyer:”…”
“… we’ll find out after we do an inventory.”He sounded like he was bluffing, trying to blur his vision.
“So, your client lost a lot of things?”He zhichu focused on the word “A lot.”His gaze was indifferent as he stared coldly at the lawyer in front of him.
The lawyer thought about the basement he saw just now… The basement of a rich man?
There must be a lot of good stuff hidden in there..
For example, the landlords and old-money capitalists who had just founded the country did not keep the good stuff in the bank. Instead, they dug a hole in their home and buried it.
He nodded. “Yes, a lot of things were lost.”
“Then, make a list now.”He Zhichu took out a lighter and tossed it up and down in his hand. “Without the list, the police can’t file a case.”
“AH? Then I’ll go ask now.”The lawyer said as he hurried into the ward.
“Old Sir, can you remember what was lost? Master he said there’s no lost and found list outside, so the police can’t file a case.”
The old man was stunned. “Lost and found list? When did I say something was lost?”
“… didn’t you just say…”the lawyer was also stunned. He had just said that!
“I’m talking about an attempt! Do you understand an attempt? !”The old man gnashed his teeth and glared at the lawyer. “Two thousand dollars an hour. How could I hire a trash like you? !”
The lawyer was shocked and hurriedly comforted the old man. “I understand! I understand! Don’t be anxious! I’ll go and talk to young master he right now! They are trying to steal, right?”
The old man panted.”… Get lost!”
The lawyer was as fat as a ball. When he was anxious, more sweat appeared on his forehead, and his entire face was shiny.
He ran out of the ward again and said to he zhichu, panting, “Young master he, it’s a misunderstanding… a misunderstanding… my client didn’t lose anything. The other party was trying to steal, but he didn’t succeed…”
“Trying to steal?”He zhichu scoffed and narrowed his almond-shaped eyes. “I also said that your client was trying to murder! But the murder was attempted!”
The lawyer felt as if he had been struck by lightning, he glared at he zhichu and said, “Young master he, you can’t just say that! My client was beaten half to death by them. He might have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. You’re actually saying that he attempted murder? ! Where’s the evidence?”
“Of course the evidence has to be handed over to the police. Why should I show it to you?”He Zhichu put away his lighter and his face turned cold. “That’s enough. After the police and the court have completed the formalities, immediately escort them to the capital!”
The search of the place had come to an end. All assets under the old man’s name were temporarily sealed, and all funds were frozen.
He wanted to return to the imperial capital to properly interrogate this “Old friend”who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Why did he have a doll that looked just like the doll that Nianzhi had played with when she was young.
Why did he have a family photo of his grandfather and grandmother, as well as a photo of his mother before she was suspected to have undergone plastic surgery..
He Zhichu could not look directly at the photo.
..
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng came out of the old man’s chinese-style courtyard and immediately called a taxi to go straight to the airport.
Lu Jin’s private pilot had already made arrangements with the airport and would be flying back to the capital soon.
They rushed to the airport and went through a simple security check before they finally returned to Lu Jin’s private plane.
When he zhichu brought the old man and his goons to C city’s hospital to be treated and bandaged, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng were already on the flight back to the imperial capital.
Gu Nianzhi did not speak or look at her phone. She sat in the plane in a daze, staring at the screen in front of her.
There was an old movie playing on the screen, but she did not look at it at all.
Huo Shaoheng knew that she had suffered quite a shock, so he did not disturb her for the time being. He just let her get used to it slowly.
The plane landed at the Capital Airport at about nine o’clock in the evening.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the clear night sky and felt the cool and fresh air of the capital’s spring night. She sighed lightly.
Huo Shaoheng held her hand and did not speak. He just held her hand and brought her all the way home.
When they reached Lu Jin’s apartment on the Third Ring Road of the imperial capital, Gu Nianzhi immediately knocked on the door of Lu Jin’s apartment.
“Dad! Open the door! It’s nianzhi! How could you run away from me again? !”
She banged on the door and shouted. Gradually, her voice turned into crying. It was as if she wanted to vent all the pain and pain she had been suppressing ever since she learned about the news about her biological mother.
Huo Shaoheng had been watching from the side. It was only when he saw her bawling loudly that he went over to pick her up.
Gu Nianzhi turned and lay in his broad and strong arms, burying her head in her tears.
“… What on Earth is he trying to do? First, he hid my biological mother… and then he sneaked away… does he really want me to become an orphan?”
Gu Nianzhi sobbed, her eyes and nose red from crying.
Huo Shaoheng took out a tissue and patiently wiped her tears. “Let’s go in and take a look. Aren’t you allowed to go in?”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
She turned around and placed her palm on the fingerprint lock at Lu Jin’s door.
Lu Jin’s fingerprint lock contained Gu Nianzhi’s palm prints and could open his door.
The door opened with a click, revealing the living room that she was extremely familiar with.
For the past few months, she had practically treated this place as her second home.
When she walked in, everything in the room was still the same as when Lu Jin had lived here. However, without the owner, this place inevitably revealed a desolate feeling.
The loneliness in the brocade bushes was the most deadly desolation.
Gu Nianzhi looked around and rushed to the secret door of Lu Jin’s lab. She opened the door and the lights in the lab lit up.
A few beams of light shone down from the roof and Lu Jin’s holographic image gradually took shape.
“Nianzhi, my daughter, you’re finally here.”Lu Jin’s holographic image looked at his watch. “You spent… time to find me.”
Gu Nianzhi’s tears were almost dry. She wiped her face with her hand, she shouted, “Dad! Don’t do this! I know you’re still alive! You’re not dead! Don’t make your last words sound like this! I Won’t believe it! Not a word!”
Even though she said she didn’t believe it, she was still panicking when she saw the holographic image that was exactly the same as Gu Xiangwen’s.
They were opposites. Would the life trajectories of their opposites be the same?
Would Lu Jin die in the struggle just like Gu Xiangwen on the other side?
Gu Nianzhi’s legs gave way and she sat on the floor of the laboratory. She looked up at the holographic image and muttered, “Dad, What are you doing? Tell me and I’ll help you…”
Huo Shaoheng couldn’t bear to see her like this. He bent down to pull her up and said, “Don’t cry. You should think of a way to find out where your father is.”
Lu Yuan said that he had gone abroad, but he wasn’t sure which country he had gone to.
Huo Shaoheng also wanted to analyze Lu Jin’s possible whereabouts with Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi stared at the holographic image of Lu Jin in front of her. Seeing that “He”seemed to hesitate for a moment, her heart skipped a beat.
She immediately thought of the urgent message he zhichu had received, asking him to come and save her..
So Lu Jin didn’t completely cut off contact with this side, did he?
Whatever, she had nothing to lose. She was going to gamble one last time!
Huo Shaoheng bent down and pulled Gu Nianzhi’s arm. “Get up.”
Gu Nianzhi grabbed Huo Shaoheng’s hand, she shouted at the holographic image, “Dad! Did you see that? He’s not Peter! He’s Huo Shaoheng! It’s Huo Shaoheng over there! He’s my fiancé! No! He’s not my fiancé! We’ve been married for a long time!”
Huo Shaoheng was gradually petrified.
He maintained his posture of bending over to pull Gu nianzhi, his face expressionless.
His profile was reflected on the wall by the overhead lights on the roof. His peerlessly handsome silhouette was a masterpiece that the creator had painstakingly crafted.
Gu Nianzhi held Huo Shaoheng’s hand and raised it, her eyes glistening with tears. “Dad! Did you see that? He’s already my husband! But I don’t have a wedding!”
“Everyone else has a wedding, but I don’t have one…”
“Do you know why?”
“Because I don’t have a dad who can walk me down the red carpet, and I don’t have a dad who can hand me over to my husband at the wedding…”
“I’m an orphan, an orphan with no parents… I don’t deserve a wedding… I don’t want a wedding for the rest of my life…”
“When you have a baby in the future, I want to tell him that your mother doesn’t have a wedding because your grandfather doesn’t want her and doesn’t want to hand her over to her husband at the wedding…”
Gu Nianzhi used moving words to describe the beautiful and tragic scene of an empty wedding and a cute baby.
Lu Jin, who was far away in New York, could not stand it anymore when he saw this scene through his computer that was connected to the Internet.
His excited and manic voice was transmitted through the 3D holographic image. “Nianzhi! Are you really married? ! Did this guy lie to You ? ! — how dare he marry my daughter without giving her a grand wedding? Who gave him the guts? ! Tell him to wait ! I Won’t be Lu if I don’t chop him up!”
