"...No..." Xie Qingying laughed awkwardly. [www.aiyouShen.cOm]
Although the two people in front denied it, it was still particularly dazzling to see them speaking in unison.
Gu Nianzhi took the opportunity when He Chu turned to look at Xie Qingying, hurriedly pushed him away, and said with a smile: "Master He, cousin Xie is here, why don't you entertain cousin Xie first. I'm very tired today, and I need to go back and rest. Let’s talk about what you just said another time, okay?”
However, He Zhichu grabbed her arm again without looking at her. He stared at Xie Qingying and said, "Qingying, I have something to do today and I can't eat with you."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
Xie Qingying's eyes lingered on Gu Nianzhi's arm for a moment, with a decent smile on her face, she smoothed her hair with her hands, and said charmingly: "Okay, anyway, we have dinner together every day, and we don't spend a day together. It’s okay to eat.”
As she said that, she opened the car door and was about to sit back when she raised her head and said with a smile: "But Mr. He, if something happens in the future, can you inform me earlier? I pushed several people to have dinner with you." Invitations from relatives and friends.”
Her voice was clear and smooth, and she was a bit coquettish when she said this. She tilted her face slightly, and her tall and delicate nose was exactly the same as that of Gu Nianzhi, both of whom belonged to the Gu family.
He Zhichu felt soft.
When he heard the news about Gu Nianzhi's flight back to China today, he couldn't think of anything else in his mind. Of course, it was impossible for him to call specifically to cancel the dinner agreement with Xie Qingying.
It's true that he broke his promise first, I'm sorry to Xie Qingying.
He Zhichu nodded slightly, "I understand, I will inform you in advance next time."
Xie Qingying was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face could hardly be maintained. He hurriedly got into his car and said to the driver: "Drive."
Her car was a customized sky blue Chevrolet bulletproof car. The body was tall and spacious, with the unique weight and thickness of American cars.
Compared with her exquisite dress and appearance, there is a strange contrast and cuteness, making her whole person appear more slender and exquisite, and the car also unintentionally adds a bit of style.
It’s a rare combination of luxury cars and beautiful women that complement each other.
Gu Nianzhi watched the car drive away and clicked his tongue, "Young Master He, you were too careless in what you said. Cousin Xie is not happy..."
He Zhichu glanced at her and frowned, "Why are you unhappy? Isn't she quite happy?" As he said that, he took Gu Nianzhi's arm and walked towards the door.
Gu Nianzhi was pulled by him to walk a few steps quickly and kept up with his pace, deliberately finding something to say to ease the tension between the two of them.
"... Where can I be happy? People said they asked you to inform you earlier, but they were actually complaining... What they really meant was to tell you not to do this, but if you say 'I will inform you in advance next time', it seems like this will happen in the future. There are many others, how can Cousin Xie be happy?"
He Zhichu: “…”
"It's really troublesome." He murmured, "Is it necessary to think so much?"
He looked back at Gu Nianzhi, opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Gu Nianzhi squinted his eyes and smiled at him, "Master He, have you often had dinner together recently? It seems like things are going well..."
He Zhichu's brows furrowed even more tightly. He walked silently for a while, came to the door, opened the door, and pulled her all the way to the stairs.
On the second floor, he took her into the suite in Gu Nianzhi's house.
The furnishings and arrangements here are exactly the same as when she left last time.
He Zhichu pulled her in, pushed her to the single sofa closest to the door, then leaned forward, supported the armrests of the single sofa with both arms, trapped her in the sofa, and stared at her closely. Looking into her eyes, he bowed and asked in a mute voice: "... What's going on?! That photo... Also, why did you suddenly go to New York? Is Luo Le looking for you? You use Wen Shouyi to top it up Yes, right?"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
"Master He, don't you know everything?" Gu Nianzhi could see that He Zhichu was emotionally unstable, so he could only restrain himself and said as calmly as possible: "Wen Shouyi was not allowed to go abroad. After Mr. Peter contacted you, , you instructed the relevant departments to return her passport and let her go abroad."
He Zhichu closed his eyes and nodded, "Yes, Peter said at the time that this is how you can confuse the scientists on Luole's side, otherwise they will stick to you."
The only thing that could make He Zhichu relent was the safety of Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi was very moved and said softly: "Master He, thank you. If it weren't for you, we would have been really unlucky this time. - You saved me!"
He Zhichu was not fooled by her thanks and said firmly: "Then tell me, why did you suddenly go to New York? When you went, there were three people leaving the country. When you came back, there were four people. - With you. The one who came back is Mr. Lu’s younger brother, Lu Jin.”
Gu Nianzhi's expression did not change and he said calmly: "We went to New York just to track down the clues from Luo Le."
"... Luo Le tried every possible means to find you, but you still threw yourself into a trap?" He Zhichu was unmoved and moved closer to her, "Do you think I will believe you?"
"I can't help you if you don't believe it." Gu Nianzhi said calmly, "In other words, you only believe what you want to believe and what you don't want to believe. Even if the facts are placed in front of you, you pretend you haven't seen them."
"Haha..." He Zhichu laughed dryly, "It would be nice if I could just pretend I didn't see it... It's a pity that I can't."
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes finally moved, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" He Zhichu straightened up and threw down a photo, "See for yourself, what do you mean by me?!"
Gu Nianzhi lowered his eyes and his eyes fell on the photo.
It was the photo she found at that person's house in City C before leaving the country, the family photo of Qin Suwen when she was a child.
This is also the only photo of Qin Suwen before she was disfigured.
The little girl above may not be ten years old, but her big, smart, dark eyes are already very eye-catching, and she can be seen clearly in the somewhat yellowed black and white photo.
The childish innocence was particularly obvious when he smiled, exactly the same as Gu Nianzhi's smile when he was a child.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the photo blankly and whispered: "... Mr. He, who is the person in this photo?"
He Zhichu sneered, "You gave me this photo. Don't you know who the person in this photo is?"
"How would I know?" Gu Nianzhi raised his eyes to look at He Zhichu, frowned and said, "I have never met them, and I don't know them."
He Zhichu crossed his arms and walked back and forth in front of Gu Nianzhi, gradually getting excited.
"These two older people, I saw photos of them when I was a child, they should be my grandfather and grandmother. But I have never seen their family photos. The photos I saw were all composite photos of single people. Because of that By that time, they had passed away for a long time, and my father used many connections to find only the working photos of these two people at that time."
"So you haven't seen the photo of your mother when she was a child." Gu Nianzhi said thoughtfully, "Where is the person who owns this photo? What happened to him? Did he explain it?"
He Zhichu sneered, "If he doesn't explain, his bones will be squeezed for oil."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
"Master He, you didn't do anything excessive, right?" Gu Nianzhi became worried, "He is a citizen of our country after all."
"He is no longer here a long time ago." He Zhichu waved his hand and said coldly: "After investigation, we found that he already has foreign nationality. According to our country's laws, our country does not recognize dual nationality, so when he obtains foreign nationality, he The Chinese nationality will be automatically lost."
"For a foreigner who commits crimes in our country, do we still need to give him special treatment?" He Zhichu said sarcastically, "Of course it is impossible to enjoy national treatment, and he does not have the rights protected by our country's laws."
Gu Nianzhi twitched his lips, "So? You did it?"
"Of course not." He Zhichu sat back on the sofa opposite with a half-smile, "We want to torture a foreigner and dirty our own hands?"
"Then what did you do?" Gu Nianzhi was very curious and deliberately rambled on to ease He Zhichu's mood.
He Zhichu curled his lips, "We imprisoned him with a group of smuggled black people... After two days, he couldn't stand it anymore, and he cried and shouted to explain everything."
"... He was released so easily?" Gu Nianzhi was dissatisfied again, "Just keep him in custody for a few more days. Let him reflect on what he did back then."
"Well, so after he explained clearly, I took him back again." He Zhichu's voice was cold and reserved, but the meaning behind his words made people shudder.
"...So he has been locked up with those black people who smuggled in for so many days?" Gu Nianzhi covered his mouth, "Then is he still alive?"
"Life is worse than death." He Zhichu crossed his legs, "It doesn't matter if the black people who smuggled into the country are men or women. If they don't obey, they will be punished. He has been in the hospital several times."
Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows, "What then?"
"He was treated in the hospital and then imprisoned." He Zhichu clenched his fists, "If you knew what he had done, you wouldn't sympathize with him."
Gu Nianzhi sighed, rubbed his forehead, and said feebly: "I don't agree with him. On the contrary, he must have done something ulterior in that incident. - By the way, he said he did it What?"
"He said that he finally convinced my grandfather, Mr. Qin Huichang, to agree to sell the land. Because he received money from Qin Baye."
Gu Nianzhi was surprised, "That's it? Do you believe it?"
"... There is currently no other evidence to prove that he lied." He Zhichu spread his hands, "So I want to ask you, how did you find him? How did you find this photo? Why did he deal with you? "
"But you left the country in a hurry, and I couldn't get through the phone at all." He Zhichu's mood worsened again.
God knows what kind of suffering he has been through these days.
Gu Nianzhi was unable to contact him, and the photo reminded him of another terrible fact.
He didn't dare to think about it, so he could only schedule his work so full every day that he wouldn't have any free time.
Xie Qingying invited him to dinner, and he quickly agreed and returned the invitation immediately.
Seeing that he was interested, Xie Qingying naturally seized the opportunity.
As time went by, it became a habit for the two of them to have dinner together.
Until today, He Zhichu's people at the customs sent him a message saying that Gu Nianzhi's plane had returned to China.
He just rushed to the airport to pick her up.
He really had too many questions and couldn't wait any longer.
Gu Nianzhi felt uncomfortable hearing He Zhichu's words, and silently lowered his head and said, "It's my fault. I should have said it more clearly."
At that time, she was preoccupied with her father's safety, and she really had no time or energy to answer He Zhichu's questions.
And she also believed that it would be good for everyone to give He Zhichu some time to calm down.
Unexpectedly, He Zhichu did not calm down in the past few days, but instead made the suspicion burn higher and stronger.
He Zhichu listened to Gu Nianzhi's detailed explanation of the causes and consequences of discovering this photo, and took a deep breath and said, "...I see. You discovered this person during the reverse investigation of the Qin family's fortune."
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi nodded, "The Qin family's cleansing was so thorough that they couldn't find any loopholes, so we had to start with the party that sold the land."
"We studied a lot of information, and finally found that only the Qin family's first pot of gold had problems. We don't say it must have violated the criminal law, but it must have unknown origins."
"Yes, I remember my mother also investigated this matter." He Zhichu's mood finally calmed down, but maybe it was because Gu Nianzhi was sitting in front of him, and there was a natural force that made him calm and stable.
He Zhichu continued: "It turned out that the Qin family's first pot of gold came from the land owned by my grandfather. However, their land purchase process was all legal, and even the transaction price was higher than the market price at the time. It is high, and there is no case of lowering the price or making fraudulent purchases.”
"...Yes, it is higher than the market price. But compared with the market price a year later, it is too low." Gu Nianzhi said implicitly, "Has your mother ever investigated why the Qin family suddenly wanted to buy that piece of land?"
"You mean, they may have gotten some inside information?" He Zhichu held his forehead with his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Only the top leaders knew about the establishment of a special zone in City Z. I don't know I think at that time, the Qin family’s hands could stretch so long.”
At that time, the Qin family only owned a small orphanage, and it was still in the remote city Z.
Also, at that time, Z City was just a small fishing village, not a bustling metropolis.
In other words, the Qin family did not have the financial resources and connections to come into contact with such high-profile news.
Gu Nianzhi thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Then has your mother ever investigated who is behind the Qin family?"
"You mean, there's someone behind them?"
"right."
"I have investigated, but there is no one familiar with the Qin family at the top, and no one has any interests with the Qin family. My mother even checked the minutes of the meeting at that time. My mother has done background checks on every high-level executive who participated in the meeting. She found no new suspicions."
"So later on, we just thought it was the Qin family's good luck and the case was dropped."
Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows, leaned back on the sofa, and said disdainfully: "Do you believe that pie will fall from the sky?"
"Of course I don't believe it."
"That's right. Why does the Qin family have such good luck? I don't accept it." Gu Nianzhi smiled half-heartedly, raised his right index finger and shook it: "I think I can provide another idea."
"What idea?" He Zhichu leaned forward and asked nervously, "What point did we miss?"
"Have you ever thought that maybe no one in China can help the Qin family, but there are people abroad?"
"But the country had not yet opened up at that time. Even if people from abroad wanted to contact people in China, it was almost impossible..."
He Zhichu said doubtfully, but his heart quickly jumped and he remembered something.
