"You want me to go? What can I do?" Chen Zhen hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of water, and glanced at Huo Shaoheng, "Don't you want to go by yourself?"
Huo Shaoheng shook his head, "I can't go. The time is not right now, and people can't know that I am her guardian yet. You know, if it is known over there now, Nianzhi may not be able to come back."
Display put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, looked up at the ceiling, and murmured: "It's been six years, no one has been looking for her, and we can't find out where she came from. Do you think... could it be that we are overthinking it?" ?Actually, she happens to be an orphan with both parents dead and no relatives alive?"
Huo Shaoheng's eyes were deep and meaningful. He held his head with one hand and flipped a round gold coin back and forth between his fingers with the other.
He said nothing, and he would not presuppose any conclusion until there was conclusive evidence to prove Gu Nianzhi's origin.
everything is possible.
He must maintain his sanity.
"Hello? Did you hear that? Isn't Ozawa in the United States? Isn't he enough?" Chen Zhe pushed Huo Shaoheng's arm, "Is there really a problem with Nian Zhi's case?"
Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyes and held the round gold coin tumbling between his fingers in his hand, "With He Zhichu's ability, it should be fine. But I don't want to have too much contact with him."
"Eh? Why is that?" Chen Chen's eyebrows were raised high, which looked a bit funny on his round face, "He Zhi Chu was Nian Zhi's professor, and he was so kind to her... Oh, I seem to hear Nobita said that Professor He has outstanding abilities and high status at a young age, and he is also very good-looking... "
Huo Shaoheng looked at him coldly, "What do you want to say?"
"I mean, little girls generally can't resist such a man. Tsk tsk, this is simply not a man, but a male god." Chen Zhen looked at Huo Shaoheng with piercing eyes, "Do you understand, male god? Oh oh oh, you never do If you go online, you probably don’t know what a male god means, right?”
Huo Shaoheng looked at Display with an idiot's eyes and remained silent without saying a word.
Chen Chen chuckled twice, stretched out his finger and shook it, "Look, I'm useless. I'm not a male god! I'm just talking about a social phenomenon. Mr. Huo, to be honest, I thought about going to the United States for half a year, but where are you?" Are you really not worried about me at first?"
"What am I worried about?" Huo Shaoheng's face was calm and steady. She was so familiar with him that he couldn't see any changes.
"Are you really not worried? - You're being cruel..." Chen Zhe turned his head away angrily, took a bottle of beer, opened it with a pop, poured a sip into his mouth, and drank it in a gulp, "Okay, tell me, I want to what I do."
When it came time to get down to business, Huo Shaoheng ignored him, got up and walked into the study.
Display followed and sat across from his desk.
"Take a look at this information." Huo Shaoheng threw him a document. "You are not going alone. I will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to cooperate and send a few people to go with you. You go to the United States in the name of a medical expert hired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. , when the time comes, follow Ozawa’s command.”
Display became serious, took the information, looked at it, sneered, and said to Huo Shaoheng, "I'm convinced! I'm convinced by you! It's indeed Mr. Huo!"
Huo Shaoheng smiled casually, waved his hand, and drove the display out of his house like flies and mosquitoes.
…
After receiving the call from Huo Shaoheng that day, Gu Nianzhi's mood improved again.
Mei Xiawen called her every day, always when she was going to bed, which was probably lunch time in China.
He cares about her mood every day and her daily diet.
It's only been a week and two packages have been sent to her.
One was a Dutch rose shipped by air, a total of ninety-nine roses, placed in a vase in Gu Nianzhi's bedroom.
One is a VCA five-flower necklace. On the small clavicle chain, five exquisitely crafted mother-of-pearl-faced diamond-encrusted flowers are arranged asymmetrically, giving it a low-key luxury to the extreme.
Gu Nianzhi loved these two gifts so much that she specially put on the collarbone chain, placed the roses on her desk, and videotaped with Mei Xiawen.
"Does it look good?" She smiled so hard in the video that her eyebrows were crooked, and her crystal clear skin was blown to pieces. Mei Xiawen couldn't help but touch the screen of her laptop.
"It's beautiful, very beautiful. When I saw this necklace, I felt that it belonged to you." Mei Xiawen used her finger to make a mark on her mouth, then pressed it on Gu Nianzhi's face in the video, and blew a kiss to her through the camera. .
Gu Nianzhi saw it through the camera, and his face turned red with embarrassment. He quickly turned off the camera and only spoke to him via audio. He smiled and said, "Xia Wen, we haven't reached the half-year deadline yet. You can't do this yet."
The video from Mei Xiawen's laptop disappeared, leaving only the audio.
Jiang Hongcha, who had been hiding out of the camera on the sofa in the study, saw this and crept over, hugged Mei Xiawen's neck from behind, and said in a very low voice in his ear: "...Look, my Do you have good taste? Roses and VCA clavicle chains, I have never seen a girl who can resist them."
Her voice was so low and so close to Mei Xiawen's ear that the hot breath from her breath penetrated into his ears, making them feel warm and furry.
A wave of heat rose from his lower abdomen. He turned off the call with a snap, turned around, picked up Jiang Hongcha, and pressed him onto the sofa in the study.
Soon, long and short moans sounded in the study, and the atmosphere was full of spring.
…
A week later, on Monday, the court date for Xin Xinggao's injury case against Gu Nianzhi would begin again.
Over the past week, He Zhichu and his team have been working almost without sleep, watching all the video tapes in an attempt to find loopholes.
Unfortunately, there is nothing fishy about these tapes.
All the timings were right and there was nothing illegal about their conversations.
The only thing I can find fault with is the several conversations between Lieutenant Colonel Peter and Xin Xinggao.
The voices they spoke were very low, and even if the video tape was turned to its maximum volume, it could only be heard vaguely.
However, after several cross-checks by language experts, they all said that Xin Xinggao borrowed books from Lieutenant Colonel Peter, and that Lieutenant Colonel Peter brought a few books for her.
No one can say that sending books will cause fatal harm.
Therefore, although there are some doubts about this point, it cannot be used as evidence to refute the other party's testimony.
"Mr. He, do you really want to fight this lawsuit?" He Zhichu's subordinate kindly reminded him, "The military seems to have received help from the CIA recently. It feels that it has a good chance of winning and is already planning to go all out."
The relationship between the U.S. military and the CIA is extremely complicated.
The two parties often have a hostile relationship that they dislike each other, but they can cooperate sincerely in many areas related to national interests.
This time, even the CIA had to get involved, and He Zhichu had to agree with Gu Nianzhi's views again.
There should be something ulterior about Xin Xinggao, but they don't know it yet.
Thinking of this, He Zhichu had an idea and suddenly had an idea.
"Find medical experts, especially world-renowned neurologists." He Zhichu knocked on the table and assigned a new task to his subordinates, "The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore has the best in the world. Cranial neurosurgeons and brain surgeons, remember to pay a high price to hire two people to come over and be expert witnesses.”
"Mr. He wants to...?" His subordinates looked at each other, raised their heads from a pile of video tapes, and looked at He Zhichu with confusion, "Challenge the opponent's injury?"
"Of course." He Zhichu turned around and put his things into his briefcase, "As lawyers, we have to make bold assumptions and be careful to verify. But we are not scientists, so our arguments do not need to be rigorous and correct. We just We need to look for evidence that can prove our point of view, and all evidence that cannot prove our point of view can be eliminated."
By the time he went to court on Monday, He Zhichu had already had in-depth conversations with two neurologists and a brain surgeon.
Xin Xinggong's brain CT scan pictures and X-rays came to He Zhichu, and he studied them carefully with two experts for several days.
Although the two experts felt that the scanned pictures and X-rays were a bit strange, due to the complexity of the human brain, they were unable to find any flaws for the time being.
Whether Xin Xinggao's intelligence has been irreversibly damaged is still a very subjective judgment.
"Mr. He, we can only help you so far." The two brain experts politely extended their hands to He Zhichu.
He Zhichu smiled and shook their hands, "It doesn't matter, we just do our best."
…
It was the day to go to court again, and Gu Nianzhi was dressed more simply this time, with a pure white silk puff-sleeved top, the hem tied into straight black trousers, and a ponytail on her head that swayed by her ears, looking youthful. .
Judge Judy banged her gavel and asked He Zhichu: "Lawyer He, do you have anything else to say?"
He Zhichu stood up and said, "We have invited two brain experts and please summon them to testify in court."
"Agree." Judge Judy nodded and motioned to bring in the two expert witnesses.
After the two expert witnesses swore not to commit perjury by pressing their hands on the Bible, they stood on the witness stand.
The neurologist took out the CT scan picture of Xin Xinggong's brain and explained to the judge: "...Your Honor, based on my twenty years of medical experience, it is common sense that Ms. Xin's injuries will not worsen to It is irreversible. If you look at the injuries to her brain, from the initial pictures to the pictures three weeks later, it shows that her condition is recovering. But by the fourth week, her injuries suddenly worsened. The brain CT scan pictures in the fourth week are very different from those in the first three weeks. What happened during this is worthy of discussion."
"Dr. Carson, do you mean that Xin Xinggao suffered a secondary injury between the third and fourth weeks of hospitalization?" He Zhichu stood up and began to cross-examine his expert witness.
"Judging from the brain scan pictures, this possibility is very high." Dr. Carson's answer was also very smooth.
They are all accomplished medical experts, and there is no need to ruin their lifelong reputation just for a favor.
Besides, committing perjury and obstructing justice are serious crimes.
"That is to say, Dr. Carson cannot be sure that a secondary injury must have occurred between the third and fourth weeks, right?" The plaintiff's prosecutor changed to a shrewd and more capable person, who was better than the last time. Much more powerful.
The two expert witnesses called by He Zhichu could only insist that there was a missing link in the changes before and after the injury, so they could not determine when the injury caused the serious consequences.
Under normal circumstances, the defendant is innocent when the evidence presented by the plaintiff cannot 100% prove the defendant's guilt.
If there were a jury, they would certainly not find the defendant guilty in this ambiguous situation.
In juvenile courts without juries, judges attach great importance to the directness and logical integrity of evidence.
Therefore, if Gu Nianzhi had not provoked Xin Xinggao and the forces behind her, she would have been acquitted.
It's a pity that the powerful enemy she faces is none other than the US military and CIA who are trying to use the judicial system to kill the citizens of the Chinese Empire as a warning.
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank, and she clenched her hands into fists and hung them by her sides.
He Zhichu didn't care. If the other party really insisted on having his own way and wanted to convict Gu Nianzhi, he would have to use his real "big killer"...
"Don't be afraid." He Zhichu took Gu Nianzhi's hand and opened her tightly held fingers one by one, "I won't let anything happen to you."
Gu Nianzhi looked at him with a wry smile and shook his head, "Professor He, I can't trouble you anymore. When you get back, give me the bill and I will find a way. I will definitely not default on your legal fees."
He Zhichu's expression changed, he pushed Gu Nianzhi's hand away, and said coldly: "...You're telling me about attorney fees at this time?! Can you afford it?!"
Gu Nianzhi bit his lip, "...I will try my best. If it's not enough, I can pay in installments."
He Zhichu was so angry that he didn't want to say a word. He turned around and sat down heavily. His face was livid, and he bit his lips tightly. He stared at Gu Nianzhi fiercely, wishing he could bite off a piece of her flesh to vent his feelings. hate.
Just let her go to jail...
The stubborn child who never looks back until he hits the wall has really not changed at all.
He Zhichu had a cold and handsome face and looked at Gu Nianzhi in a daze. His attention was completely on her, and he didn't care to listen to what the people in the court were saying for the moment.
Judge Judy has long received secret orders from the military and the CIA and must convict Gu Nianzhi.
After the two sides debated, she laughed twice, raised her gavel high, and was about to knock it down. She said at the same time: "Since the plaintiff's evidence is solid, the defendant..."
Before she could say "guilty", the court door was suddenly pushed open, and a group of diplomats from the Chinese Empire in suits and ties walked in.
"Who are you? Trespassing into the court is a felony, do you know?" Judge Judy's hand holding the gavel stopped in mid-air, and she looked at the bailiff: "Why don't you drive them out?!"
Gu Nianzhi looked up and saw a chubby display among the group of people in suits and leather shoes!
He was also wearing a dark black suit, and his expression was extremely serious, but when he glanced at Gu Nianzhi standing in the dock, there was a jumping smile in his eyes.
Gu Nianzhi immediately calmed down.
This must have been sent by Uncle Huo.
He wouldn't give up on her, he was here to save her.
The diplomat at the front took out his ID: "Judge Judy, we are diplomats of the Chinese Empire and have diplomatic immunity."
So she couldn't throw them out for contempt of court.
"What are you going to do? Even diplomats have to abide by the laws of our country." Judge Judy looked very ugly and did not dare to knock down the gavel in her hand.
"Our country is very concerned about the case of Xin Xinggao v. Gu Nianzhi. Since both of them are citizens of the Chinese Empire, we believe that they must be brought back to the country for trial. This is an extradition document jointly signed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice of our Chinese Empire, please judge Your Excellency, please take a look."
