Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1584: The Essence Of Drama

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes curved as she held Lu Jin’s hand and said, “Thank you, father, for your confidence in me. That’s right. Trust me. Watch your daughter help get justice for you!”

Lu Jin’s hand trembled imperceptibly. He didn’t dare look Gu Nianzhi in the eye and muttered, “... Just get justice for yourself. Don’t worry about me.”

“How can that be?” Gu Nianzhi thought Lu Jin was still worried and quickly said, “You can find an excuse to listen in, but it’s best if you disguise yourself as someone else. Don’t let anyone recognize you as Lu Jin.”

Lu Jin was a big shareholder of the Lu Corporation. At least in the eyes of outsiders, it had nothing to do with him.

If he paid too much attention to her, it would arouse the suspicion of others.

Especially He Chengjian, who was very suspicious...

Gu Nianzhi thought about He Chengjian’s ruthlessness — he would rather kill the wrong person than let them go. She did not want to put the people she cared about in danger at all.

Lu Jin saw that Gu Nianzhi was worried about him, and he was instantly delighted. He winked at her. “Don’t worry, I have my ways. At most, the Lion King will come out of hiding, and if someone recognizes me, I’ll give him both Nobel Prizes!”

Gu Nianzhi giggled and said mischievously, “Our family is really good at acting. Dad, I think you should seriously consider entering Hollywood.”

“Hollywood is nothing.” Lu Jin deliberately raised his head at a 45-degree angle. “Real life situations test acting skills the most!”

“Yes, yes, yes. Acting tycoon, Lu Jin, it’s time to wake up. It’s not even dark yet you’re already dreaming.” Gu Nianzhi giggled as she rambled on with Lu Jin. Finally, he was able to let go of the burden in his heart.

Perhaps he wouldn’t be able to let go of his past so quickly, but as long as he had a good start, he would slowly move on.

Gu Nianzhi patted Lu Jin on the shoulder. “Okay, I have to go back now. I won’t be coming here again until the court session.”

Lu Jin reluctantly sent her out and said with a frown, “You can’t always stay at the He family’s house. It’s better for you to move out. I’ll buy you a house in the capital.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

“I’ll mention it to Young Master He, but you don’t have to buy me a house.” Gu Nianzhi turned to stop Lu Jin and winked at him. “I’ll rent a house.”

Lu Jin understood instantly. He smiled and held her hand. “Understood! Rent a house! The landlord, Lu Jin, is here. How about we sign a permanent lease when the time comes?”

“Even f you see through it, don’t say it, and we’ll still be good friends.” Gu Nianzhi shook their interlocked hands. “Okay, I really have to go.”

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked, as if there was no one else around. They had already passed through half of the living room, but no one looked at Lu Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa.

Lu Yuan simply couldn’t bear to see the father and daughter being so clingy. He simply opened a large newspaper and covered his entire upper body.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Lu Jin pulled open the door and said to Gu Nianzhi, “I’ll send you down.”

“Uncle Lu, it’s okay. I’ll send lawyer Gu back.” The Ace of the Far East/Deputy Chief Counsel suddenly stood by the door and blocked Lu Jin’s line of sight.

Lu Jin’s expression immediately turned ugly.

His face was sullen as he said in a drawn out voice, “Why haven’t you left yet? One meal isn’t enough? You want two more?”

“Uncle Lu, you’re too kind. I’m just worried about lawyer Gu’s safety.” The Ace of the Far East stood straight behind Gu Nianzhi. He lowered his chin to Gu Nianzhi’s head and handed Lu Jin a handle-like device. “This was taken from Gu Nianzhi’s car. Please take a closer look to see if there’s anything wrong.”

Standing so close, Gu Nianzhi could feel the heat of his breath. She moved away uneasily and said with a cold expression on her face, “Mr. Peter is too polite. As the Deputy Chief Counsel, you actually asked to be my chauffeur. I’m afraid I can’t afford such treatment.”

“That’s right, that’s right. We’re all commoners. It’s not good for us to get involved with high officials like you.” Lu Jin took the handle, but still spoke up for his daughter.

The Ace of the Far East looked calm and said aloofly, “Yes, I’m the Deputy Chief Counsel of the Soviet Union. Anyone who wants to harm my car will think about whether they’re prepared to go against the entire Soviet Union.”

This was the confidence of a diplomat.

Abroad, they represented their own country, and behind them, there was also a powerful country backing them.

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

She was convinced. She was convinced, alright?

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and turned to walk towards the elevator.

The Ace of the Far East nodded at Lu Jin and caught up with Gu Nianzhi as they walked into the elevator.

The elevator door slowly closed in front of Lu Jin. Lu Jin sullenly looked at his daughter standing next to another man. It was a very harmonious scene..

“What is he so cocky about... he’s just a dove occupying a magpie’s nest!” Lu Jin glared at the elevator and turned around to go back to his room.

After closing the door, he saw Lu Yuan blocking himself with a large newspaper.

“Eh? What news is so good? You’ve reading so intently that you’ve lost track of everything else. You didn’t even say goodbye to my daughter.” Lu Jin sat down opposite his sofa and looking at the handle that Peter had given him, he crossed his legs.

So it was not a handle, but a GPS receiver.

Interesting.

Lu Jin laughed happily.

Lu Yuan put down the newspaper to reveal his forehead and eyes. He said mockingly, “It was you and your daughter who came and went freely in the living room as if there was no one else around. You two couldn’t even see a living person sitting here, and now you’re saying that I didn’t say goodbye to your daughter. Did you give me a chance to say goodbye?!”

Speaking of saying goodbye, Lu Jin’s smile disappeared, and he was full of complaints. “That Deputy Chief Counsel was waiting at the door like a tiger watching its prey. He’s like a wolf. No matter how hard I try, I can’t chase him away.”

However, Lu Yuan could hear the bragging in his complaints and did not reply, so he couldn’t show off.

Lu Jin waited for a while but did not hear Lu Yuan speak.

He raised one of his eyes and glanced at Lu Yuan. Seeing that he was still sitting upright and reading the newspaper like a leader of the country, he could not help but curl his lips. He said, “Boss Lu, when Nianzhi’s trial starts, I’m going to sit in. Quickly think of a way so that I can sit in openly.”

Lu Yuan:”...”

Only Lu Jin could ask for help so self-righteously

But what could he do?

Lu Yuan accepted his fate and put away the newspaper. He thought for a moment, then said, “Nianzhi is a partner of our Lu Corporation’s external law firm. You are a major shareholder of the Lu Corporation and also a member of the board of directors. When the time comes, you can use the excuse of observing Nianzhi’s ability to listen in, but don’t be too ostentatious. It’s best if you don’t reveal your identity in front of outsiders. The board of directors knowing is enough.”

This could also be classified as a trade secret, so it made perfect sense for him to observe in disguise.

Lu Jin only needed a legitimate reason to appear in court so that no one would suspect his relationship with Gu Nianzhi.

“That’s a good reason! Boss Lu, you really have business acumen. You came up with such a lofty reason without even blinking.” Lu Jin gave him a thumbs up.

Lu Yuan was not comforted. He gave him an angry look and put away the newspaper before returning to his bedroom.

Winter had arrived. Lu Yuan wanted to be a detached president. He would not stoop to the level of Lu Jin, who was deadset on angering him to death and had a soial disorder.

..

Gu Nianzhi and the Ace of the Far East sat in the moving car.

The Ace of the Far East said aloofly, “I tampered with the GPS in this car. Young Master He and the others could not receive the exact address of your father’s apartment. I gave the attached receiver to your father. You’ll be driving this car from now on.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

She propped her head on her hand and looked out the window at the river of cars. She said lazily, “Thank you. But Mr. Peter, don’t waste your time with me. Really, you’re so well-off. You can just snap your fingers and a bunch of women will throw themselves at you.”

“I didn’t know I was so popular.” The Ace of the Far East curled his lips and glanced sideways at Gu Nianzhi. “Actually, I’m here to say goodbye today.”

Gu Nianzhi exclaimed in surprise and put down her arm. She was elated. “You’re leaving? Are you going back to the Soviet Union? !”

“I’m leaving. I’m going out to do something,” The Ace of the Far East said vaguely and couldn’t help looking at her again.

He found her suddenly brightening eyes a little annoying. He reached out and pushed her face. “What’s with that look? You’re so happy to hear that I’m leaving?”

“How can I not be happy?” Gu Nianzhi was in a much better mood. “This is to let you know your place in my heart.”

“Oh? I still have a place in your heart?” The Ace of the Far East raised an eyebrow with a smile. “I thought you had a heart of stone. As expected, women are afraid of being pestered by men.”

“Tsk, you’re too arrogant.” Gu Nianzhi spread her hands out in disdain. “Your place in my heart is no place at all.”

The Ace of the Far East: “...”

He quickly pulled himself together. “Okay, I got it. I’ll continue working hard.”

Gu Nianzhi felt a headache coming on. She said angrily, “If you continue to harass me, I’m going to call the police!”

“You saved my life. I must give myself to you.” The Ace of the Far East turned the steering wheel with a half-hearted smile. “So you’re destined to never be able to get rid of me in this lifetime.”

“Ha.” Gu Nianzhi only said this word and stopped talking nonsense with him.

When she found a way to go back, how could she not be able to get rid of him?

Gu Nianzhi’s mood was even better when she thought about how the Ace of the Far East would find out that she had slapped him in the face in the future.

When she returned to the He family home, she walked to the hall while humming a song.

He Zhichu and He Chengjian were both sitting in the hall. Seeing that she had returned, He Chengjian breathed a sigh of relief and stood up first. He smiled fawningly and said, “Nianzhi is back. By the way, the court schedule for your case has been set for the day after tomorrow. This is the document sent by the court. Ah-Chu signed for it for you when you weren’t around.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and said politely, “Thank you, Mr. He. Thank you, Young Master He.”

He Zhichu was expressionless. He stood up quietly from the sofa and followed her upstairs to her room.

Gu Nianzhi knew he had something to say, so she let him in.

He Zhichu handed her the court case file and said, “You went to Sihuan district today? The mall there isn’t as good as this one.”

Of course, his car had a GPS. From the address he received, Gu Nianzhi had gone to a shopping mall in Sihuan district.

He knew Gu Nianzhi didn’t have many friends here, so he was worried about her safety.

Gu Nianzhi nodded and said, “It’s not as good as this place, so I didn’t buy anything. I just went window shopping.”

She opened the documents sent by the court and looked through them. She smiled, took out her laptop, and sent an email to the court.

..

Early the next morning, Wen Shouyi planned to visit her parents at the detention center of the Imperial Police Headquarters. Before she even left the house, she received a subpoena from the court.

The court person was very polite. “Lawyer Wen, your defense lawyer’s application was rejected by the plaintiff’s lawyer. The plaintiff’s lawyer found new evidence and listed you as a defendant. This is a court summons. You will appear in court with your parents tomorrow.”
