At this time, the Qin family was in a mansion in the western suburbs of the imperial capital. Qin Baye was sitting in front of the sofa, watching TV intently.
The TV is showing news from the United States.
Qin Baye is over seventy years old, but he has learned English very well because of his early interactions with foreigners.
Watching English TV programs is no problem.
As he watched, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, feeling very puzzled.
What they sent over was obviously a DNA sample from when Gu Nianzhi was born, and it was also the only DNA sample they had preserved. How come it turned out to be Wen Shouyi
A few days ago, Luo Le sent someone to deliver a message to him, asking Wen Shouyi to go to the United States. Qin Baye thought he was going to discuss rescuing Qin Yaoguang.
As a result, Wen Shouyi is now the person closest to perfect genes!
What exactly is going on
Qin Baye vaguely felt something was wrong.
However, on TV, Loler was testifying at a hearing of the U.S. Congress in high spirits, telling the most powerful people in the United States that their Loler Group had achieved a small result in human genetic research.
However, their small achievement is a huge progress in the history of human evolution!
Qin Baye stood up on crutches, walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, and stared at the night outside the window in trance.
What you can see is a small garden. On an early summer night, the wind is a little hot and blows in through the half-open floor-to-ceiling windows.
The tuberose in front of the window is as white as jade, as moving as an epiphyllum, and has a faint fragrance.
Qin Baye's eyes fell on the tuberose, and he suddenly felt irritable. He went out with his crutch and destroyed all the tuberose before he felt better.
"Cousin, are you okay?" Qin Haoshan, Qin Baye's nephew, came over and held his arm up the steps.
Qin Baye smiled and said, "It's okay, I just can't smell the fragrance of the flowers."
After finishing speaking, he sighed and said: "Your aunt hates night-elixir the most, but she likes tuberose the most, which is somewhat similar to night-elixir. She grows so many at home. Alas... She is so stubborn. Otherwise, how could we get to this point?!"
Qin Haoshan felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, and hurriedly comforted him: "Grandpa, my aunt will be fine. Won't the United States put pressure on the government? Just wait... "
"Well, let's see what they do tomorrow. I'm old, and this family will depend on you in the future." Qin Baye looked up at his tall and handsome grandnephew, and nodded kindly, "Haoshan, you are a Okay, just like your aunt, she is a bit stubborn. There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why fall in love with a flower unrequitedly? "
Qin Haoshan: "..."
He smiled awkwardly, unwilling to talk about this topic. He helped Qin Baye lie down on his bed, covered him with a thin quilt, and said, "You should go to bed early. We have to wait and see how the government responds tomorrow."
…
That night, many people in the imperial capital did not sleep well.
At three o'clock in the morning in the imperial capital, which is also three o'clock in the afternoon in the United States, the U.S. Congress released the "White Paper on Human Rights in China."
The central topic of this eloquent 500-page white paper is Qin Yaoguang.
Senators and representatives of the U.S. House and Senate accused the Chinese Empire of ignoring the basic human rights of the famous female scientist Qin Yaoguang and of seriously corrupting the judiciary.
A certain senior general used his power for personal gain for the sake of a woman. He listened to the villain's slander and threw Qin Yaoguang into prison without a formal trial.
The U.S. Congress was impassioned and almost unanimously passed a motion condemning the Chinese Empire government, and declared that if Qin Yaoguang was not released unconditionally, they would start a trade war and impose high tariffs on all products exported to the United States from the Chinese Empire!
…
Xie Beichen, the Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire, Long Zhixue, Speaker of the Upper House of Parliament, and Major General He Zhichu of the Military Ministry, were woken up from their sleep by their secretary at almost the same time.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, news from the United States has come out."
Xie Beichen suddenly woke up.
They had already received intelligence and knew that evil moths would appear in the United States. Although they were prepared, they were still a little nervous when they heard that the other party had finally taken action.
"...What kind of news is it? What is going on?"
"...It's for Ms. Qin Yaoguang." The secretary whispered, standing aside and reading a brief news summary to Xie Beichen.
Xie Beichen listened to Jian Jian and hurriedly changed his clothes and said, "Where are Chairman Long and Major General He?"
"Someone has gone to call. Or should we continue the meeting as originally planned?"
"Well, the meeting will continue as planned."
…
At four o'clock in the morning in the Imperial Capital, Prime Minister Xie Beichen, House of Lords Courtyard Long Zhixue, and Military Ministry He Zhichu were already sitting in the highest-security meeting room of the Supreme Committee of the Military Ministry in the Imperial Capital, watching news from the United States again. brief.
The white paper from the U.S. Congress is long, but very poor in content.
It's a cliché repeated over and over again, but the topic is very new.
This time, they blatantly named Qin Yaoguang alone.
"... They are really determined to exchange all trade between China and the United States for Qin Yaoguang's freedom." Speaker Long looked at the "China Human Rights White Paper" that had been sent back and said expressionlessly.
"China's foreign trade with the United States reached 500 billion US dollars last year. 500 billion US dollars, just one person." Xie Beichen frowned tightly, "What should we do?"
"What should we do?" He Zhichu frowned sternly, "Do you two still want to agree?"
Xie Beichen sighed, looking as if he had aged ten years. "It's not a matter of whether I think about it or not. With our economic situation, do we really have to compete with the Americans?"
"This is an approach that kills a thousand enemies and damages one thousand. They can hurt both sides, but we can't..." Speaker Long also glanced at Xie Beichen hesitantly.
Xie Beichen nodded to him. They both had similar thoughts.
Only He Zhichu firmly expressed opposition.
This meeting was supposed to be attended by his father, but his father is currently recuperating in the hospital and will have surgery tomorrow, so he temporarily attended on his father's behalf after obtaining the consent of Prime Minister Xie and Speaker Long.
He put his hands on the conference table and said seriously: "I don't understand your diplomacy or your economy, but I understand law and military affairs."
"I only know that when the other party wants someone at all costs, they must not agree."
"It's just like fighting. Even if we are not as strong as the other side, when the other side is trying their best to seize a high ground that seems insignificant to us, I know that we will defend this high ground to the death!"
"Because the other party spent so much effort to seize it, it must be because this place has benefits that exceed the cost for them."
"It doesn't matter if we don't understand now. As long as the person is in our hands, the other party will definitely weigh it carefully and won't burn the boat and lose both sides."
"Major General He said it nicely, but are you sure?" Xie Beichen asked displeasedly, "You also said you don't understand economics. Then let me tell you, if the trade war really breaks out, how many factories will close down? Foreign trade will drop sharply and the surplus will decrease, or even expand to a deficit, and the economic situation will be ugly."
Speaker Long nodded, "Yes, in such a big country like ours, once there is an economic problem, the people will not agree."
"... If the other party imposes tariffs, our economy will have problems. With all due respect, Prime Minister Xie, you are just sitting on your back and showing serious dereliction of duty." He Zhichu said calmly.
The corner of Xie Beichen's mouth twitched twice, and he said with a wry smile: "Major General He, you really dare to say that I will not wear this hat. I am just telling you about the serious consequences of the trade war. How can it be related to my dereliction of duty?"
"Excuse me, where did I neglect my duties? I worked hard for the cabinet and racked my brains to develop the economy... "
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Chairman Long came out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, don't be anxious, both of you. We are all doing this for the country and the people and have good intentions. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
"What are you talking about?" He Zhichu slapped the table and said coldly: "According to me, Qin Yaoguang should be shot immediately before dawn! I will respond to the US white paper during work tomorrow morning and tell them that they are one step too late. , Qin Yaoguang is dead!"
Prime Minister Xie and Speaker Long stared at He Zhichu, unable to believe their ears.
Qin Yaoguang was He Chengjian's remarried wife, He Zhichu's stepmother, and also his savior. How could he be so cruel? !
"...Major General He, with all due respect, is there really any solid evidence for Qin Yaoguang's case?" Xie Beichen couldn't help but sneered.
Isn't it because of Gu Nianzhi
He didn't deserve Xie Qingying for his niece.
Gu Nianzhi used to be He Zhichu's fiancée, and Qin Yaoguang's case was mainly led by Gu Nianzhi.
"...So the United States said, 'A certain senior general used power for personal gain because of women'. Do you know who this person is? Major General He?" Speaker Long also spoke for Xie Beichen.
"Why is there no real evidence?" He Zhichu said lightly, "She cooperated with Qin Baye, used infrasonic weapons against me, and attempted to murder me. Isn't this called real evidence?"
"... But there was no public trial in this case." Speaker Long frowned, "And I heard that the Supreme Court of the Military Ministry was reviewing this case and felt that Qin Yaoguang did not have the conditions to mobilize infrasound weapons because she had been detained by the military at that time , where is the opportunity to plan this action?”
Speaker Long has the right to know the whole story regarding matters related to the law.
It's just that most of the time he doesn't have time to pay attention to every case, so he can only devote his limited energy to a few important cases.
Speaker Long will have backups for cases sent to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Military Court for review every year.
He will not interfere with justice, but he will understand the direction of judicial execution and the demands of the people, so that he can be more targeted when formulating laws.
The case of He Zhichu being injured by an infrasonic weapon cannot be tried openly because there is too much confidential information involved.
As for the kidnapping case that Gu Nianzhi reported to Qin Yaoguang eight years ago, because it was related to Gu Nianzhi's life experience, He Zhichu didn't want others to notice Gu Nianzhi's special genes, so he didn't want the case to be tried in public.
"Then what should we do?" Speaker Long shook his head and sighed: "You don't know how well Americans can set the pace. They will mobilize online public opinion and incite some netizens who are afraid of chaos in the world to become online judges and demand the disclosure of many things that they do not have the authority to know. information and then conduct an online trial.”
"If we don't do this, there is something wrong with our judiciary. Each of them is more capable than the judges, lawyers, prosecutors and police with real professional backgrounds." Xie Beichen also patted the table and said angrily.
Misjudgements will occur in any judicial system. This fact exists in any country and has nothing to do with the system.
But to use a mistake to attack the entire social system and system is to have ulterior motives, which is stupid and poisonous.
He Zhichu thought for a long time and finally said: "Let's not respond first, let's wait and see the public response before making a decision."
"Okay, I agree." Speaker Long nodded immediately. He didn't want to surrender to the United States, but he also didn't want his country's economy to be damaged, so he was in a dilemma.
Prime Minister Xie nodded reluctantly, "Okay, let's wait another day. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot respond too late, or it will be very passive."
The meeting ended and it was already daylight outside.
He Zhichu had a midnight meeting and was very tired.
He returned to the He family mansion in a special car and saw a familiar silhouette standing next to the iron gate of the mansion, looking down at his mobile phone.
He Zhichu smiled slightly, got out of the car, and strode over, "Nianzhi, why are you here so early?"
