Gu Nianzhi heard Song Jinning say that she didn't want to appear in court anymore, but she didn't force it.
She knew that this kind of thing was not something ordinary people could bear, so she hurriedly said: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? It doesn't matter. You don't have to go next time. I can be alone..."
Song Jinning interrupted her and said with a smile: "It's not because I feel uncomfortable, it's because I think it's a waste of time. I stayed in the court for three hours today, and I was able to complete several experiments."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
Gu Nianzhi, who had been a top student for many years, understood for the first time what it felt like to be a "scumbag".
"Nianzhi, now is the critical moment of the experiment, and my time is really tight." Song Jinning held Gu Nianzhi's hand very apologetically, "There are more and more magnetic field data, and I have new ideas, and I am using the computer program We will miniaturize the experiment and plan to conduct a simulation experiment on a computer. Once the simulation experiment starts, the analyzer will run the program day and night without stopping for a moment."
Gu Nianzhi's eyes turned into mosquito-repellent incense@_@.
But she still nodded her head, indicating that she understood!
Song Jinning was amused by her small appearance, "What's that look in your eyes?"
"You didn't understand a word, did you?"
"No. I understood the last sentence and couldn't stop for a moment." Gu Nianzhi smiled and hugged Song Jinning's shoulders, "It's okay, just go and do the experiment! Leave it to me to deal with the monsters and monsters. Master Ghost takes care of Nianzhi!"
Song Jinning doubled over with laughter, saying that her stomach hurt from laughing.
Fan Jian, the orderly driver sitting in front, subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Huo Shaoheng sitting upright in the back seat, with a satisfied smile shining in his serious eyes.
Sitting next to him was the woman he loved and the mother he respected.
Huo Shaoheng has never been a person who laments the spring and autumn, but at this moment, he only wishes that forever, the years will not leave a trace.
…
Cai Shengnan and Luo Jialan spent more than an hour in the court and paid a sky-high deposit before completing the bail procedures.
Luo Jialan's passport was confiscated by the Special Operations Division, and now his ID card and driver's license have also been withheld by the court.
She could only stay in her own home in the imperial capital and could not go anywhere.
After coming out of the court, the two sat in Cai Shengnan's car and didn't speak for a while.
It wasn't until he drove away from the court and got on the highway that Cai Shengnan said to Luo Jialan in the passenger seat: "Have you thought about it, do you really want to do this?"
Luo Jialan snorted, rested her elbows on the car window, and said, "Do you have a better way?"
Cai Shengnan turned the steering wheel and moved into the fast lane, and said calmly: "I do have a good idea, but you don't agree."
"You asked me to plead guilty, how could I agree!" Luo Jialan was so angry that she only punched the car window, "I said I would plead not guilty! Not guilty!"
"But in the current situation, the other party intends to persecute you, and it is difficult for you to be completely innocent." Cai Shengnan persuaded in a low voice, "We can plead guilty to a relatively minor crime in exchange for consent from the other party, and not pursue a felony such as murder."
"Then...will I go to jail?" Luo Jialan thought it sounded reasonable, but not going to jail was her bottom line.
"If I'm going to go to jail, I might as well die." Luo Jialan said angrily.
Cai Shengnan looked forward and said calmly: "Don't die, live, and plead guilty to a lighter crime. It's just my idea, and the other party may not accept it yet."
This is a commonly used method in the United States.
After discussing with the prosecutor, in order to avoid a lengthy trial taking up too many public resources, the defendant's lawyer will usually propose this compromise method.
But that situation is usually when the two sides are in a stalemate.
If this situation is to be achieved, Cai Shengnan will have to argue the case "dirtyly" until the other party can't stand it anymore and cannot continue to appear in court, and then he will accept this approach of pleading guilty to a misdemeanor and avoiding a felony.
Luo Jialan bit her lip and thought for a while, and finally said: "Try calling her number first. She once gave me a number and said that if it was a last resort, I could call this number. I don't need to call it normally."
Cai Shengnan nodded and said with a smile: "Yamaguchi Aiko? Yes, as long as she can help you."
It sounds like that person is quite capable, and Cai Shengnan also hopes that person can come forward, so that the money laundering case can be closed.
"She must have a way." Luo Jialan seemed to have great trust in that person's ability.
Cai Shengnan drove off the highway and came to the bustling downtown area, stopping in front of a small grocery store.
Luo Jialan got out of the car, lowered her head, and walked quickly to the grocery store.
"Excuse me, can I lend you your phone?" She said gently, handing over a hundred-dollar bill.
The owner of the grocery store smiled and took the money and said, "It's one dollar a minute. Go ahead and hit it."
Luo Jialan didn't pay attention, walked over, picked up the phone, and started dialing.
She knew that number by heart, but she never dialed it because she trusted Yamaguchi Aiko and because she had never been in a "last resort" situation before.
This time she really had "last resort", but no matter how she dialed, there was only a mechanical female voice reminding her that the number did not exist.
Dozens of times in a row, it was the same result.
The string in Luo Jialan's mind finally broke.
She returned to Cai Shengnan's car almost in despair, covered her face with her hands, and cried hysterically.
"She lied to me! She lied to me! She was really using me!"
Cai Shengnan sighed softly and handed her a tissue, "Don't cry, we are not helpless. As long as you are willing..."
Luo Jialan had no choice but to grab Cai Shengnan's hand as if grasping the last straw, choking and saying: "I listen to you! I listen to you!"
"Then plead guilty to a misdemeanor and avoid a serious crime." Cai Shengnan made up his mind, "But in this case, you will no longer be able to be with Huo Shaoheng. Is it worth it?"
Luo Jialan thought about it and finally let out a long breath, "Lawyer Cai, can you communicate with him? Just say that as long as he agrees to leave Gu Nianzhi and cancel the accusation, not only will I not accuse him, but I will also use the trust fund as my dowry. All Share it with him.”
The final plan she and Cai Shengnan drew up was almost a devastating blow to Huo Shaoheng.
Cai Shengnan laughed, "I will communicate with Gu Nianzhi. It's useless to tell Huo Shaoheng. The only one you can threaten is Gu Nianzhi."
"Really?" Luo Jialan thought for a moment, smiled, and nodded, "That's right. Let's talk to Gu Nianzhi. As long as she voluntarily terminates her engagement with Shao Heng, I won't make this accusation. After all, she wants to protect Huo Shaoheng. It’s probably clear at a glance that her reputation is due to her own greed and her desire to be wealthy and refuse to let go.”
They both drove away.
After completely disappearing from the path in front of the grocery store, an ordinary-looking man walked into the grocery store and looked at the phone record of the grocery store owner.
After finding out the time and number of Luo Jialan's calls, the man sent encrypted text messages to his colleagues.
"The target person made an outbound call via phone number XX-XXXXXXXXX at
…
After Huo Shaoheng sent Song Jinning back to the Institute of High Energy Physics, he asked Gu Nianzhi, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to Hepingli." Gu Nianzhi shook Huo Shaoheng's hand, "There is still a tough battle to be fought, and I need to prepare information."
Huo Shaoheng actually wanted her to go back to the official residence with him, but seeing the dark circles under her eyes, he stretched out his thumb and gently wiped the dark circles under her eyes, and said lightly "Hmm", "Go back Have a good rest. Is there anything to eat at home?"
Gu Nianzhi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "...I order takeout."
Huo Shaoheng shook his head, "Let's go together, I'll have someone deliver something over."
He called the orderlies at his mansion and asked them to deliver rice, noodles, oil, eggs, vegetables, mushrooms and shrimps, plus fresh fish, scallops, ham, green beans, beef and pork to Gu Nianzhi. Home cooking.
After returning, Gu Nianzhi went to the bathroom to take a shower. Huo Shaoheng waited for a while and everything was delivered. He went to the kitchen to cook for her in person.
The meal was ready, but Gu Nianzhi hadn't come out yet.
"Read it?" Huo Shaoheng called several times, but no one responded.
His heart tightened, and he rushed to the bedroom, kicked open the bathroom door, and saw Gu Nianzhi asleep in the bathtub.
Under the clear water, the seductive body is looming, and there are rose petals floating on the water.
Huo Shaoheng relaxed, picked her up from the bathtub with a smile, and wiped her dry before waking her up.
While the two were eating, Huo Shaoheng received a call from his subordinate.
"Master Huo, after Luo Jialan came out of the court today, she went to a very remote grocery store and made a phone call. She called the same number dozens of times in total."
Huo Shaoheng put down his chopsticks and asked expressionlessly: "...What number? Who is the other party?"
"It's an invalid number. No one got through."
