Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1593 - Spear Attacking the Shield

Chapter 1593: Spear Attacking the Shield

Wen Shouyi secretly took a breath. The belt around her waist hurt a little, but it made her more awake.

Her tone was gentle, very naturally, she said, “To what extent? How should I put it? At that time, you were the high and mighty He family’s little princess, and I was only the gardener’s daughter, six years older than you. Our Circle was originally different, and we didn’t have many opportunities to interact.”

Wen Shouyi smiled amiably. “But you were doted on in the He family. The children of servants like us were ordered by our parents to especially respect you and take care of you, so we had no choice but to get familiar with you.”

During those years, she quietly watched this little girl grow up beside Mrs. He, Mr. He, and Young Master He. At the beginning, she only dared to hide under the table to look at others, but later, she became arrogant and willful, looking down on others.

Six years was neither long nor short.

It was hard to say what kind of mood she was in when facing this little girl.

The school work that she was once proud of, the intelligence of a genius, could not withstand a single blow in front of this little girl.

This little girl only attended one class a week and played the rest of the time. But by the time she was twelve years old, she had already finished all the high school courses and passed the national high school graduation exam with high marks. She had also received interview invitation from several Ivy League Universities in the United States.

If nothing unexpected had happened, she would have attended the interview at Harvard University in the United States the following year after her 12th birthday, trying to get into the university ahead of schedule.

It could be said that Gu Nianzhi’s achievements would have been even greater if not for what had happened then?

Wen Shouyi suppressed the unwillingness in her heart and continued, “We were forced to get to know you because we didn’t want to make you unhappy or offend you. We didn’t come from the same family as you, so we had no choice but to look the other way to protect ourselves.”

When Wen Shouyi said this, Gu Nianzhi could clearly feel the sympathy of the two jurors sitting next to the judge.

Human nature always tended to be on the weak side.

Therefore, Gu Nianzhi couldn’t let her continue pretending to be pitiful.

“Is that so? This means that you’ve been observing and studying me in places I don’t know about, right?”

Wen Shouyi paused and shook her head. “I’m not studying you. I’m just paying attention to you to avoid provoking you.”

That was why she said she was familiar with her, but Gu Nianzhi knew nothing about Wen Shouyi.

“Oh.” Gu Nianzhi nodded and smiled. “So you know me very well, don’t you? Because you need to pay special attention to me and know everything about me in order to avoid offending me.”

“You could say so.” Although Wen Shouyi didn’t want to admit it, she didn’t refute.

“That means you had been following me for six years, right?” Gu Nianzhi asked with a smile.

Wen Shouyi frowned slightly and said, “Aren’t you repeating yourself? Didn’t you say it just now?”

“You just need to answer yes or no.” Gu Nianzhi’s voice gradually turned cold.

Wen Shouyi nodded reluctantly. “Yes.”

“Okay, you had been following me for six years and you had been observing me all the time. You must be very familiar with my every move, every word and action, right? Everyone says that the people who know you best are not your family or friends, but your enemies. I believe them.” Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly.

Wen Shouyi’s heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, this is bad.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t wait for her reply, she immediately added, “You kept saying that you pay special attention to me and are familiar with my words and actions. But under the streetlights at night, you saw my back and didn’t recognize that the little girl was me? Does this meet the conditions you just described for your pitiful survival?”

In Wen Shouyi’s explanation just now, she had no choice but to pay attention to Gu Nianzhi. She had no choice but to be very familiar with her so that she wouldn’t offend her without her knowledge.

If she really knew Gu Nianzhi that well, then she would be able to recognize her even if she saw her back. She would even be able to tell it was Gu Nianzhi just by listening to her words.

But she had denied it earlier, saying that she hadn’t recognized the little girl.

Gu Nianzhi put one hand behind her back and the other on the table in the dock. She was smiling. “So, Lawyer Wen, why are you saying such contradictory things to divert everyone’s attention?”

“On one hand, you said you only saw the back and didn’t know who the little girl was.”

“On the other hand, you said you had been paying special attention to me for six years. Because you were worried about offending me, you had to be very familiar with me.”

“Was this your respectful attitude towards me? You’re so familiar with me, but you couldn’t recognize me at a glance.” Gu Nianzhi leaned forward, her expression suddenly turned stern. “Or are you actually lying? Either you never really paid attention to me, and the He family didn’t make you to be respectful and not offend me. Or, the little girl you saw that night wasn’t me at all!”

Wen Shouyi bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth and frowned as she thought about Gu Nianzhi’s words. “It was too dark at that time. I was being cautious and didn’t say anything I wasn’t sure of. What’s wrong with that?”

“Is that so? What else do you need to be sure of?” Gu Nianzhi smiled. She threw out the testimony of the other two passers-by. “These two passers-by witnesses, they’ve never seen me before, but they were actually able to find my photo based on the little girl’s back and profile.”

“If even a stranger could tell that the girl was me, how could you, Wen Shouyi, who claimed to have paid special attention to me for six years and was afraid of offending me, not recognize me?! This is neither logical nor common sense.”

Wen Shouyi pursed her lips and insisted on her own explanation. “I’m sorry, I really don’t have 100% confidence that I could recognize that girl as you, so I wouldn’t say who she was, because I really didn’t know.”

“So cautious?” Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and suddenly clapped her hands at Wen Shouyi. “Miss. Wen is indeed a great lawyer. You really know that you can simply eat whatever you want, but not simply say whatever you want.”

“Because everything you say will be used as evidence in court.”

She suddenly praised Wen Shouyi.

This wasn’t right.

Not only Wen Shouyi, but even Jin Wanyi was nervous.

What was Gu Nianzhi up to?

Lu Yuan and Lu Jin sat up straight in the gallery and listened attentively.

They were most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.

The courtroom was silent, and the pressure was overwhelming.

Gu Nianzhi opened a folder on her laptop and clicked open a picture.

In the picture was a white man in a Hawaiian shirt and shorts. He was standing next to a palm tree and talking to a girl with a smile.

Gu Nianzhi pointed a laser pointer at the side profile of the man on the big screen and said, “Everyone, please take a look at this photo. Do you recognize who this is?”

The people in the courtroom looked at each other, but no one answered.

Gu Nianzhi looked around and her gaze fell on Wen Shouyi and Jin wanyi. She said, “Lawyer Jin, why don’t you tell us who this man is?”

Jin wanyi pursed her lips and said, “It’s too obvious. This man is the American movie star, Leon.”

“Are you sure?” Gu Nianzhi clicked the mouse again. The picture was even bigger, and even in high definition. The fine golden hair on the man’s face could also be seen.

“Of course I’m sure. This man is too popular. There are big photos of him everywhere. Even people who don’t follow celebrities know him.” Jin Wanyi was impatient. She glanced at the judge and said, “Lawyer Gu, does this have anything to do with this case?”

However, this time, the judge did not say anything. Instead, he looked thoughtfully at the photo that was displayed on the big screen.

Gu Nianzhi nodded. “Yes, just by looking at his profile and back, you were able to recognize him as the famous movie star, Leon. That’s amazing.”

As she spoke, she clicked on the photo again. The photo immediately turned into a three-dimensional three-dimensional picture. The man turned around and faced everyone.

Only when she saw his face did she realize that he was not the American movie star Leon at all!

Jin Wanyi’s face instantly drained of color, and her heart began to pound like a drum.

Gu Nianzhi turned off the photo and clicked on another photo.

This time, it was a tall man with a stooped back. He wore ordinary clothes, and the rubber shoes on his feet were stained with a lot of dirt.

As he walked, he left a trail of footprints behind him.

Gu Nianzhi smiled at Liang Meili and Wen Shouyi. “How was it? This time, I want Miss. Liang Meili and Miss. Wen Shouyi to identify this man. Who Is he?”

Wen Shouyi clenched her fists, but she still gritted her teeth and did not say a word.

However, her mother, Liang Meili, could not hold it in. She looked at Wen Shouyi and then at Jin Wanyi. Seeing that neither of them had stopped her, she boldly said,”... This... this man is my husband.”

She pointed at Wen Dayou, who was sitting on the other side of Wen Shouyi.

Nianzhi said very kindly, “Ms. Liang Meili, you think this is your husband, Wen Dayou, right?”

Liang Meili nodded and said confidently, “Yes, I’ve been married to him for more than 20 years. How could I not recognize my husband? I would recognize him even if he turned to ashes, not to mention just his back and side profile!”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and then clicked open the second photo on the front.

It wasn’t Wen Dayou!

Liang Meili’s vision went dark and she almost fainted.

She mumbled, “How could it not be? It was clearly his back and side profile! — Is there a mistake?”

“This is the same photo and the same person. If you don’t admit it, I can even summon him to testify in court.” Gu Nianzhi put down the mouse and said lightly.

This was the photo she had carefully prepared to deal with the two witnesses.

Gu Nianzhi looked up at the trial bench and calmly began her second conclusion. “Your Honor, I think it’s already obvious.”

“Even a famous celebrity, and her husband who she’s been with all day, she can’t tell who he really is from his back and profile. How can the two passers-by find a photo of Gu Xiangwen and me when I was 12 years old based on his back and profile?”

“This is neither rigorous nor fair.”

“So Miss. Wen’s insistence is correct, because those two people are at all neither Gu Xiangwen nor me when I was 12 years old eight years ago!”

“Based on this, I would like to apply to the court to invalidate the testimony of those two passers-by witnesses!”

Wen Shouyi’s face instantly turned black. She had never thought that Gu Nianzhi would use her testimony to invalidate the testimony of the other two passers-by!
