Gu Nianzhi looked at the contents of Huo Shaoheng’s text message and frowned discreetly.
Calm Luo Jialan down? Ask about the contents of the will?
This will must be the will of Huo Guanyuan, Huo Shaoheng’s uncle.
Because this will was connected to the ownership of the trust fund under Huo Guanyuan’s name.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t care who Huo Guanyuan’s trust fund belonged to. She was only curious as to why Huo Xuenong had kept this will hidden all these years and hadn’t made it public?
Theoretically, this was the will of his eldest son, Huo Guanyuan, and Huo Guanyuan was a hero who had sacrificed himself for his country. Was there something shameful in his will?
Gu Nianzhi hesitated as her gaze swept over Luo Jialan’s face. From the corner of her eye, she had already caught sight of Grandfather Huo lying on the hospital bed.
Huo Xuenong had been staring at her and Luo Jialan and Cai Shengnan the entire time she had been arguing with them. His gaze had made Gu Nianzhi feel a little apprehensive. It was the first time she felt that Huo Xuenong’s murderous vibe rivaled that of Huo Shaoheng...
Huo Xuenong had fought a great war. Every soldier who had emerged from the cruel battlefield had been trained differently.
This old man wasn’t to be underestimated.
Gu Nianzhi composed herself and locked her phone. She held it in her hand and said, “Since you’ve already called the police. I hope the police can act quickly to help Miss Luo recover some of her financial losses.
Luo Jialan quickly said, “Look, we’ve already called the police. The police have already made a case. Can the charges from the Swiss court be dismissed? ”
Huo Xuenong couldn’t help saying, “Yes, everything is clear now. Jialan was scammed, and didn’t launder money. Gu Nianzhi, can you drop the lawsuit? You don’t have to freeze the trust fund anymore.”
Gu Nianzhi’s mirthful eyes turned to Huo Xuenong, and she said in surprise, “Grandfather Huo, you that concerned about Miss Luo’s trust fund?”
Huo Xuenong was taken aback, but he quickly replied self-righteously, “That’s my son’s trust fund. How could I not be concerned? Jialan is my son’s only daughter...”
Gu Nianzhi coughed and interrupted him, “Unfortunately, Luo Jialan isn’t Uncle Huo’s biological daughter. Not only isn’t she related to him by blood, but she has also changed her surname and moved out of the Huo family’s household registration... ”
“So what? My eldest son recognized her as his daughter, so she’s my eldest son’s daughter! ” Huo Xuenong said firmly, like a father and grandfather who truly loved his son and granddaughter.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but laugh and say nonchalantly, “Now you know she’s your eldest son’s daughter. When you forced me to give up my position and wanted Luo Jialan to fake marry my fiancé, Major General Huo, that wasn’t what you said.”
Huo Xuenong almost had a heart attack after being confronted by Gu Nianzhi.
In an instant, his lips turned purple and his temples bulged as he tried to hold back his anger.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him, and feeling a little afraid after seeing how enraged he was, she quietly moved closer to Xie Shenxing’s side.
Xie Shenxing sensed Huo Xuenong’s volcanic rage towards Gu Nianzhi. He took a step forward and blocked in front of Gu Nianzhi, then smiled at Huo Xuenong and said, “Yo! I didn’t know there was such a thing! I had no idea that your cheap granddaughter was so impressive. If you needed her to be your granddaughter, she would be your granddaughter. If you needed her to be your granddaughter-in-law, she would be your granddaughter-in-law. Tsk Tsk, what a useful pawn. You can carry it wherever you need it!”
Gu Nianzhi covered her mouth and almost laughed out loud behind Xie Shenxing.
Cai Shengnan rolled her eyes. He couldn’t stand Gu Nianzhi’s smugness.
She was pretentious and only knew how to climb up the social ladder.
An orphan girl who flung herself at Major General Huo without any sense of dignity or shame, and even climbed into his bed..
Upon seeing that the Xie family was wealthier, she didn’t even bother with her in-laws anymore. They only wanted to social climb through the Xie family.
This Xie Shenxing didn’t live up to his reputation either. Since someone like Gu Nianzhi had him wrapped around her fingers, it was a waste of her father’s high opinion of him.
Cai Shengnan felt very upset inside.
Luo Jialan felt even worse. She was a member of the Huo family. Whether it was in terms of being her father’s stepdaughter or Huo Shaoheng’s wife, this position could only belong to her.
In the end, she was robbed of true love by a little orphan who came out of nowhere. She was on the verge of suffocating from her grievances.
When she was in France, she thought that her lifetime dream had been shattered, until she met Yamaguchi Aiko...
Recalling the past, Luo Jialan’s eyes grew a little moist.
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said to Cai Shengnan, “Forget it, let’s go back first. You can reply to the Swiss court.”
Cai Shengnan nodded and said to the people in the ward, “Goodbye.”
She turned around and followed Luo Jialan to the door of the ward.
Before they reached the door, the door was pushed open with a bang.
Three men in the special operations forces’ black uniforms walked in.
The man leading the way almost bumped into Luo Jialan.
He blocked his arm forward and stood still. Keeping a distance from Luo Jialan, he held out three certificates in front of Luo Jialan. “Are you Luo Jialan? You just reported that you were swindled by a Japanese woman named Aiko Yamaguchi in Europe, right?”
Luo Jialan’s eyes flashed. She recognized the uniforms of these people and immediately said, “You guys aren’t the police. I reported this to the police station.”
What she meant was that these people were suspected of impersonation.
The man with the three documents nodded. “We’re not the police. This is the authorization letter we received from the police. The Police Department of the Imperial Military General Hospital has authorized us, the Special Operations forces, to handle this case.”
Huo Shaoheng had intervened, hadn’t he?
Luo Jialan’s heart lifted. She couldn’t decide whether to feel relieved or afraid...
She should be afraid, but she felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and relief at the thought of Huo Shaoheng paying so much attention to her.
Instead of answering the man’s question, Luo Jialan searched for Gu Nianzhi in hopes of seeing her reaction.
However, Gu Nianzhi stood behind the tall Xie Shenxing, and was completely hidden from view.
Feeling contemptuous towards Gu Nianzhi’s behavior, Luo Jialan snorted coldly.
Cai Shengnan took a step forward and walked over to Luo Jialan’s side. She scrutinized the three documents that the special operations forces had taken out.
She read the Imperial Capital Police Department’s authorization letter several times, then asked in confusion, ” ... Are you guys really from the Special Operations forces? This case is just an ordinary fraud crime. Although the monetary amount involved is a bit large, it’s essentially an financial crime. Why would the Special Operations Forces be alerted?”
The Special Operations Forces member explained patiently, “Because the crimes committed by Aiko Yamaguchi and Yoko Yamaguchi are detrimental to national security. They were originally wanted criminals registered with the special operations forces. Therefore, after Miss Luo called the police, according to the rules, the local police department has no right to interfere in crimes involving national security, so our special operations forces will take over the investigation.”
When Luo Jialan heard this, she immediately took a few steps back and an alarm went off inside her.
It was over. She had still been tricked by Gu Nianzhi!
She now understood why Gu Nianzhi had insisted on her calling the police. She wanted to send her to the special forces, hadn’t she?!
She was too sly, too vicious, and too cunning!
No longer concealing the deep hatred in her eyes, Luo Jialan turned around. “Gu Nianzhi! Are you satisfied now?! You did all this just to make me fall into your trap?!”
Gu Nianzhi poked her head out from behind Xie Shenxing and shrugged nonchalantly, “Miss Luo, don’t you know what you’ve done? Did I force you to give Aiko Yamaguchi money so she could come after me? Or did I give you money so you could torture Miss Song to death?”
Luo Jialan’s face was livid, and she couldn’t say a single word.
Cai Shengnan looked at the arrest warrant and immediately said, “Is there some sort of mistake? Why did you arrest my client, Miss Luo? What did she do to deserve your Special Operations Forces’ arrest?”
“You still don’t understand?” Gu Nianzhi continued to mock Cai Shengnan. “Of course she did something that jeopardized national security.”
“Jeopardized national security? You think she jeopardized national security by hunting you down? How conceited of you!” Cai Shengnan sneered at Gu Nianzhi.
“You guessed it.” Gu Nianzhi clapped her hands a few times and gave Cai Shengnan a round of applause. She chuckled and said, “Hunting me down does indeed jeopardize national security.”
Cai Shengnan: ” ... ”
“You’re too big for your britches! ” She wished she could tear the smile off Gu Nianzhi’s smug face.
Gu Nianzhi raised her chin at her. Her smile was indeed very haughty. “It’s a little smaller than yours. If I’m too big for my britches, then yours would be even more oversized.”
As she spoke, her gaze swept past Luo Jialan, who was scared out of her wits, then landed on grandfather Huo, who had remained silent on the hospital bed.
Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes and pondered over it for a moment. She then changed the topic to grandfather Huo.
Huo Xuenong had single-handedly caused everything that had happened today, but in the end, he had stayed out of it, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.
Thinking about Huo Shaoheng’s text message again, Gu Nianzhi quickly thought about how she could use Luo Jialan as bait to dig out the truth about Huo Guanyuan’s will from grandfather Huo!
After falling silent for a while, she changed the topic to Huo Xuenong.
“Grandfather Huo, if you have no objections, the Special Operations forces can take action and take Miss Luo away to assist in the investigation.”
Gu Nianzhi’s words immediately reminded Luo Jialan.
Yes, why was she only thinking about Cai Shengnan?!
Her biggest support should be grandfather Huo!
Luo Jialan turned around desparately and rushed to grandfather Huo’s bedside. She sobbed, “Grandfather, please help me. I’ll agree to whatever you want. I won’t mention any conditions. I’ll keep my word!”
Although her tone sounded begging, her words were full of threats.
Huo Xuenong glared at Luo Jialan, and his facial expression grew colder and colder.
