Chapter 1788: Chapter 1788: Remembering Someone When you see them (first and foremost, monthly pass)
Two hours passed. Gu Nianzhi did not receive a reply from Lu Jin, and Huo Shaoheng did not continue to text Lu Yuan.
He put away his phone and jumped down to the basement to tie up the people whose legs had been broken.
When he came up, he heard he Zhichu’s voice at the door. “Open the door.”
Gu Nianzhi turned around in surprise. “Young master he? You’re here so soon?”
She walked to the door and unlocked it.
He Zhichu was dressed in a black uniform. He stood tall and straight at the door of the small reception room.
His sparkling peach blossom eyes were frosty, and his handsome face was foggy.
However, the frosty look in his eyes disappeared the moment he laid eyes on Gu Nianzhi.
“Nianzhi, are you okay?”His voice was still cold and clear. There was no fluctuation in his voice.
Gu Nianzhi smiled. “I’m fine, I’m fine. I’ll be fine as long as you’re here.”
She turned around and let he zhichu walk in.
As she closed the door, she took a quick glance at the situation outside.
She was slightly taken aback.
Several men in black uniforms like he zhichu had already taken care of everyone in the chinese-style courtyard.
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes were sharp. She saw the young maid who had opened the door for them. She was dressed in white and had black pants. She was standing at the entrance, shivering.
Before the girl could look over, Gu Nianzhi gently closed the door to the small reception room.
She turned around and saw he zhichu standing in front of the unconscious old man. He had his hands behind his back and asked Huo Shaoheng, who was standing to the side, “What’s Going On?”
Huo Shaoheng waved his hand and led him to the basement, where the floor could be opened and closed. He said, “Look Down.”
He zhichu could see a few burly men lying around in the basement under the dim lights.
Their legs and arms were propped up at strange angles. It was obvious that they had been broken.
He Zhichu narrowed his eyes. “These people were beaten up by you?”
Gu Nianzhi rushed up and said, “I was the one who beat them up! I was...”
She pointed at the old man lying on the ground. “It was him. He tricked me into coming in, lured me with this doll and a letter, and dropped me into the basement over there! Fortunately, Mr. Peter was alert and jumped down with me.”
“The basement was well sealed, and soon the oxygen was almost depleted. When Mr. Peter and I passed out, these men jumped down. They were holding baseball bats and trying to kill us! I had to defend myself!”
He Zhichu looked at her quietly. After a while, he said, “Nianzhi, how many people do you think will believe what you just said in court? !”
“And you’re a barrister. Your excuse is so clumsy. In the future, don’t tell anyone that you were my student.”He Zhichu raised the back of his hand and coughed lightly under his nose. He glanced at Gu Nianzhi casually, just as she was looking away, he stole another glance at him.
His gaze was filled with admiration and shame.
He Zhichu was slightly taken aback. He felt strange.
Gu Nianzhi smiled with a red face.”... If I go to court, I’ll revise my statement.”
She had indeed made a lot of mistakes earlier.
Huo Shaoheng was right here. He would rather admit it openly than say that there was no silver in this place.
The Committee of State Security (KGB) was the committee of State Security (KGB) . Huo Shaoheng was now a former KGB member and a Soviet diplomat in China.
Such a person must be quite skilled.
She was trying to cover it up..
Gu Nianzhi thought quickly and said, “I don’t want Mr. Peter to get involved. He’s a Soviet diplomat and doesn’t want to cause a diplomatic dispute between the two countries.”
This was a good way to save her dignity.
Huo Shaoheng listened quietly from the side and said, “The Soviets have always been able to make a move and never say much. We can’t just watch the woman we like fall into a trap and be unmoved.”
He Zhichu ignored him and looked at the doll on the table in the middle of the small meeting room. He let out a soft “Eh”.
This doll was almost identical to the doll that Gu Nianzhi liked to play with when she was young.
However, he knew that this doll was a fake and the real doll was in his house..
He zhichu walked over with an indifferent expression, put on his white gloves, and reached out to grab the doll.
Just like Gu Nianzhi, he did not pick up the doll.
He Zhichu exerted a little more force, and the table seemed to make a soft thud. He pulled the doll up in mid-air, and a few pieces of wobbly plastic thread emerged from the bottom of the doll’s skirt.
On the table, where the doll was originally standing, a small round hole appeared. Inside the round hole was a simple mechanical device that was powered by a battery.
Huo Shaoheng pointed to the device and said, “This is the thing. When lawyer gu tugged on the doll, the floor over there opened automatically. Lawyer Gu fell from there.”
It was in the direction of the basement and was right across from he zhichu.
He Zhichu’s face turned cold.”... Is it this old man?”
He turned to look at Gu Nianzhi and asked softly, “Do you know anyone here?”
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and answered honestly, “No.”
“How dare you come in here if you don’t know anyone?”
He Zhichu chided,”... you dare to enter any room and touch anything. You’ve suffered, haven’t you? Serves you right.”
Gu Nianzhi’s awkwardness and uneasiness were dispelled by this well-timed rebuke. She smiled mischievously and said, “Young master he, I won’t do it again. You’d better watch how this place is cleaned up...”
She pointed at the old man who had fainted on the floor and said, “He was very stubborn at first, saying that we had entered the house to attack him. Later, when I said that I was going to call the police, he relented and admitted that he had been possessed by lust and wanted to have an affair with me. He was going to pay me a large sum of money to settle it privately.”
“In his dreams.”He zhichu snorted. “You didn’t agree, did you?”
“Of course I didn’t agree.”Gu Nianzhi spread her hands, she said helplessly, “But... you know... We did make a move. Even though it was self-defense, the law says that it was excessive. I’m worried that if he gets a good lawyer, we’ll still be in trouble.”
He Zhichu’s lips twitched and he said mockingly, “Now You’re afraid? Then what are you doing here?”
He looked at the doll in his hand. He had always thought that things would not be so simple.
He glanced at the letter out of the corner of his eye and remembered that Gu Nianzhi had also said that the old man had used the doll and a letter to seduce her..
What kind of letter was it?
He Zhichu put down the doll and opened the envelope.
There was nothing in the envelope except for a yellowed black and white photo.
He Zhichu took out the photo and was stunned when he saw it.
There were three people in the photo.
He knew two of them, or rather, they looked familiar. He had seen the photo before.
They were his maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother.
His mother, Qin Suwen, had experienced a tragic car accident when she was young. In that car accident, not only did she lose her parents, but she also lost her memory.
Later on, the photos of his grandfather and grandmother had been taken by his father, he chengjian, in order to please his wife. He had gone to great lengths to obtain the registration photos from the school where they had started their careers.
He Zhichu had seen the photos of the two of them when he was a child, so he recognized them at a glance.
However, he was not too surprised by the two of them. What shocked him even more was the little girl sitting between his grandfather and grandmother.
This little girl was exactly like Gu Nianzhi!
Of course, she was also exactly like Qin yaoguang..
He Zhichu’s mind went blank for a moment, and he asked in a trembling voice,”... who is this person? Could It Be Qin Yaoguang? !”
How Could Qin yaoguang have photos of her childhood with her grandfather and grandmother? !
But that wasn’t right. Qin yaoguang had obviously undergone plastic surgery..
“Who is this person? ! She is definitely not Qin Yaoguang!”He Zhichu said firmly.
Gu Nianzhi was a little flustered and subconsciously wanted to escape.
She looked at Huo Shaoheng and slowly moved closer to him.
He Zhichu saw that she actually wanted to run, so he grabbed her arm without thinking. His voice was as cold as the Arctic. “Speak! Who Is this person? !”
Huo Shaoheng also held Gu Nianzhi’s hand and said coldly to he zhichu, “Let Her Go!”
Gu Nianzhi was being pulled around by the two men. She was very afraid that the two men would accidentally break her arm, so she quickly said, “Calm down! Calm down, both of you! If you have something to say, say it properly. Don’t do anything!”
He Zhichu’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and his sparkling peach blossom eyes suddenly became Misty. It filled his eyes that were as moving as spring water.
Huo Shaoheng’s face darkened. He pried open he zhichu’s fingers one by one, then pulled gu nianzhi behind him to protect her. He said, “We don’t know who this person is.”
Gu nianzhi only felt safer after hiding behind Huo Shaoheng.
Her heart was still thumping, almost jumping out of her throat.
She looked up and saw that he zhichu’s originally fair face had become as white and cold as winter snow. Only his eyes were black, and they were exceptionally black.
“... young master he, calm down. I was also very surprised when I saw the remake of this photo. That’s why I was tricked by him to come in and see the original...”
Gu nianzhi said sheepishly, “How else would I have fallen for his trap?”
The three people they had found, the first was a colleague from the nursing home. He was kind and amiable. Although he did not know much, he told them everything he knew.
The second was a neighbor of an elderly woman who had Alzheimer’s disease. He had given them crucial information.
Therefore, when it came to the third friend, Gu Nianzhi subconsciously felt that this person would give them more useful information.
This was the nature of human thinking.
If there were one, there would be two, then there would be three.
It just so happened that the other party had attacked them here, catching them off guard.
Fortunately, Gu Nianzhi was with Huo Shaoheng. Even if such an accident happened, they would be able to save themselves.
The most powerful person was not someone who could always come up with a plan. Of course, such a person did not exist.
The most powerful person was someone who could adapt to changes in the environment to protect themselves.
Such a person would always be invincible.
He Zhichu did not know how Gu Nianzhi and the others had happened to find this place, but he knew that they definitely had not “Just happened”to be here.
How could there be so many coincidences?
It was just that someone had been planning everything meticulously.
He Zhichu suppressed his racing heart and looked at the photo again.
The three people in the photo had an intimate and natural attitude. It was obvious that they were a family.
Since the two adult men and women were his grandfather and grandmother, then who else was the little girl sitting with them intimately?
He Zhichu looked at the photo for a long time. Suddenly, he looked up at Gu Nianzhi.
She smiled at him embarrassedly.
Her voluptuous lips curved into a smile, and her big eyes curved into a crescent moon, just in time to coincide with the Smile of the little girl in the photo..
A thought flashed through he zhichu’s mind.
It was like a bolt of lightning that exploded in his heart, leaving him battered and bruised all over. All his support and faith collapsed at that moment.
He Zhichu staggered back two steps and stopped when he bumped into the corner of the table behind him.
He turned around in some panic, not daring to look Gu Nianzhi in the eyes again, and even more so, not daring to look straight into his own heart..
