Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 1840

“… no…”Xie qingying laughed awkwardly.

Although the two people in front of her had denied it, it was still particularly glaring when they spoke in unison.

Gu Nianzhi took the opportunity when he zhichu turned to look at Xie qingying to push him away, she smiled and said, “Young master he, cousin Xie is here. Why Don’t you entertain her first? I’m very tired today, so I need to go back and rest. We can talk about what you just said another day, okay?”

He Zhichu grabbed her arm again and stared at Xie qingying without looking at her. “Qingying, something came up today, so I can’t have dinner with you.”

Gu Nianzhi:”…”

Xie qingying’s gaze lingered on Gu Nianzhi’s arm for a moment. She still had a decent smile on her face as she ran her hand through her hair, she said flirtatiously, “Okay, we have dinner together every day anyway. It’s okay if we don’t have dinner together all day.”

She opened the car door and was about to sit back down when.., she looked up and smiled. “But young master he, if you need anything in the future, can you let me know earlier? I’ve rejected several invitations from relatives and friends to have dinner with you.”

Her voice was clear and mellow, and there was a hint of coquettishness in her voice when she said this. She tilted her face slightly, and her tall and delicate nose was exactly the same as Gu Nianzhi’s. It was the nose of the Gu family.

He Zhichu’s heart softened.

Today, when he learned that Gu Nianzhi had taken a plane back to the country, he couldn’t think of anything else. Of course, he couldn’t have called Xie qingying to cancel their dinner appointment.

It was true that he had broken his promise first, and he had let Xie qingying down.

He zhichu nodded slightly. “I got it. I’ll definitely inform you in advance next time.”

Xie qingying was stunned for a moment. The smile on her face was almost gone. She quickly got into her car and said to the driver, “Drive.”

The car she was in was a custom-made sky-blue Chevrolet bulletproof sedan. It was tall and spacious, and had the thick and heavy weight typical of American cars.

Compared to her exquisite dress and appearance, it was a strange contrast and cuteness. It made her look even more slender and dainty, and the car was unintentionally more stylish.

It was a rare combination of a famous car and a beautiful woman.

Gu Nianzhi watched the car drive away and clicked her tongue. “Young master he, you’re too careless with your words. Cousin Xie isn’t happy…”

He zhichu glanced at her and frowned. “Why isn’t she happy? Isn’t she quite happy?”As he spoke, he pulled Gu Nianzhi by the arm and walked towards the door.

Gu Nianzhi was dragged by him and walked quickly to catch up with him. She deliberately made conversation to ease the tension between the two of them.

“… How Can I Be Happy? She said to tell you to inform her earlier, but she was actually acting coquettishly and complaining… what she really meant was to tell you not to do this, but you said ‘I’ll definitely inform you in advance next Time’as if there would be many more such things in the future. Why would cousin Xie Be Happy?”

He Zhichu:”…”

“How troublesome,”he muttered. “Is there a need to think so much?”

He turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. He opened his mouth, but hesitated.

Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes and smiled at him. “Young master he, you’ve been having dinner together a lot recently? It looks like it’s going well…”

He Zhichu’s frown deepened. He walked silently for a while until he reached the front door. He pushed the door open and pulled her all the way up the stairs.

They went up to the second floor and he led her into Gu Nianzhi’s suite at the He residence.

The furnishings inside were exactly the same as the last time she had left.

He Zhichu pulled her in and pushed her onto the single-seater sofa nearest to the door. He leaned over and supported himself with his two arms on the armrest of the single-seater sofa. He encircled her on the sofa and stared into her eyes, he bowed and asked in a hoarse voice,”… What’s going on? ! That photo… And why did you suddenly go to New York? Was Luo Le looking for you? You used Wen Shouyi to cover for him, didn’t you?”

Gu Nianzhi:”…”

“Young master he, didn’t you already know?”Gu Nianzhi could tell that he zhichu was emotionally unstable, so she had no choice but to calm herself down, she tried to speak as calmly as possible. “Wen Shouyi was originally not allowed to leave the country. After Mr. Peter contacted you, you instructed the relevant authorities to return her passport and let her leave the country.”

He Zhichu closed his eyes and nodded. “Yes, Peter said at the time that this was the only way to confuse the scientists in Rohle. Otherwise, they wouldn’t let you go.”

The only thing that could make he zhichu let go was Gu Nianzhi’s safety.

Gu Nianzhi was very touched and said gently, “Young master he, thank you. If it wasn’t for you, we would really be in trouble this time. You saved me!”

He Zhichu was not fooled by her thanks, he said calmly, “Then tell me, why did you suddenly go to New York? When you went there, three people left the country. When you came back, there were four people. “The person who came back with you was Lu Jin, Lu’s younger brother.”

Gu Nianzhi’s expression did not change. She said lightly, “We went to New York to follow up on the leads on Luo Le’s side.”

“… Luo Le tried every possible means to find you, and you still walked right into his trap?”He Zhichu was unmoved. He moved closer to her. “Do you think I’ll believe you?”

“I can’t help it if you don’t believe me,”Gu Nianzhi said calmly. “Or rather, you only believe what you want to believe and what you don’t want to believe. Even if the truth is right in front of you, you can pretend that you didn’t see it.”

“Haha…”He Zhichu laughed dryly. “If only I could pretend that I didn’t see it… Unfortunately, I can’t.”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat, and her expression finally changed. “What do you mean?”

“What do you mean?”He Zhichu stood up and threw down a photo. “Look at it yourself. What do you think I mean? !”

Gu Nianzhi looked down and her gaze fell on the photo.

It was the photo she had found at the man’s house in C City before she left the country. It was a photo of Qin Suwen’s entire family when he was young.

It was also the only photo of Qin Suwen before he was disfigured.

The young girl on the photo might not have been more than ten years old, but her large, bright, dark eyes were very eye-catching. They could be seen clearly in the yellowing black-and-white photo.

She had a childlike innocence when she smiled. It was exactly the same as Gu Nianzhi’s smile when she was a child.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the photo in a daze and whispered,”… young master he, who is the person in this photo?”

He zhichu laughed coldly. “You gave me this photo. Don’t you know who the person in this photo is?”

“How would I know?”Gu Nianzhi looked up at he zhichu and frowned. “I’ve never seen them before, nor do I know them.”

He Zhichu crossed his arms and paced back and forth in front of Gu Nianzhi, his emotions gradually stirring.

“I saw photos of these two older people when I was young. They should be my grandfather and grandmother. “But I’ve never seen a family photo of them. “The photos I saw were all taken by a single person. “Because at that time, they had passed away a long time ago. My father used a lot of connections, but could only find work photos of these two people at the time.”

“So you haven’t seen the photo of your mother when she was young.”Gu Nianzhi was deep in thought. “What about the person who had this photo? How is he? Did he tell you?”

He zhichu laughed coldly. “If he didn’t tell you, his bones would have been crushed.”

Gu Nianzhi:”…”

“Young master he, you didn’t do anything overboard, did you?”Gu Nianzhi was worried. “He’s a citizen of our country, after all.”

“He’s not anymore.”He Zhichu waved his hand, he said coldly, “After our investigation, we found out that he already has a foreign nationality. According to our country’s laws, our country doesn’t recognize dual nationality, so when he acquires a foreign nationality, his Huaxia nationality will automatically be lost.”

“For a foreigner who commits crimes in our country, do we have to give him special treatment?”He Zhichu mocked, “Of course, he can’t enjoy national treatment, and he doesn’t have the right to be protected by our country’s laws.”

The corners of Gu Nianzhi’s mouth twitched. “So? You Did It?”

“Of course not.”He Zhichu sat back down on the sofa opposite him with a half-smile. “We want to torture a foreigner and dirty our own hands?”

“Then how did you do it?”Gu Nianzhi was very curious and deliberately rambled on to ease he zhichu’s mood.

He Zhichu’s lips curled up. “We locked him up with a group of black smugglers… two days later, he couldn’t take it anymore and started crying and wanting to tell us everything.”

“… he was released so easily?”Gu Nianzhi was dissatisfied again. “We just had to lock him up for a few more days. Let him reflect on what he did in the past.”

“Yeah, so after he explained everything, I locked him up again.”He Zhichu’s voice was cold and reserved, but the meaning behind his words was chilling.

“… so he’s been locked up with those black smugglers for so many days?”Gu Nianzhi covered her mouth. “Then is he still alive?”

“It’s worse than death.”He Zhichu crossed his legs. “Those black smugglers don’t care if he’s a man or a woman. If he’s disobedient, they’ll punish him. He’s been in the hospital a few times already.”

Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. “And then?”

“After he’s cured, he’ll be locked up again.”He Zhichu clenched his fists. “If you knew what he did, you wouldn’t feel sorry for him.”

Gu nianzhi sighed and rubbed her temples. She said weakly, “I didn’t agree with him. On the contrary, he must have done something unspeakable in the past. By the way, what did he say he did?”

“He said he finally convinced my grandfather, Mr. Qin Baye, to agree to sell the land because he took Qin Baye’s money.”

Gu Nianzhi was surprised. “That’s it? You believe him?”

“… There’s no other evidence to prove that he’s lying.”He zhichu spread his hands. “So I wanted to ask you, how did you find Him? How did you find this photo? Why did he come after you?”

“But you left the country in a hurry, and I couldn’t get through to you.”He Zhichu’s mood worsened again.

God knows what kind of torture he had gone through these past few days.

Gu Nianzhi could not be contacted, and the photo reminded him of another terrifying fact.

He did not dare to think further, and could only keep his work schedule full every day, not allowing himself the time to come down.

Xie qingying invited him to dinner, but he quickly agreed and immediately returned the invitation.

Xie qingying saw that he was interested, so she naturally seized the opportunity.

After a while, it became a tradition for the two of them to have dinner together.

Until today, when he zhichu’s people at Customs sent him a message saying that Gu Nianzhi’s plane had returned to the country.

He then rushed to the airport to pick her up.

He had too many questions and couldn’t wait any longer.

Gu Nianzhi heard he zhichu’s words and felt uncomfortable. She silently lowered her head and said, “It’s my fault. I should have said it more clearly.”

At that time, she had been preoccupied with the safety of her father. She really didn’t have the time or energy to answer he zhichu’s questions.

Moreover, she also thought that giving he zhichu some time to calm down would be beneficial to everyone.

She did not expect he zhichu to not calm down in the past few days. Instead, the fire of suspicion grew stronger and stronger.

He zhichu listened to Gu Nianzhi explain in detail the whole process of discovering this photo. He let out a deep breath and said,”… I see. You discovered this person during the process of reverse investigation of the Qin family.”

“Yes.”Gu Nianzhi nodded. “The Qin family was too thorough. They couldn’t find any loopholes at all, so they could only start from the side that sold the land.”

“We studied a lot of information, and in the end, we found that only the Qin family’s first bucket of gold was problematic. It wasn’t necessarily a criminal offense, but it was definitely from an unknown source.”

“Yes, I remember that my mother also investigated this matter.”He Zhichu’s emotions finally calmed down, but perhaps it was because Gu Nianzhi was sitting in front of him, she had a natural power that made him calm and steady.

He zhichu continued, “In the end, they also found out that the Qin family’s first pot of gold came from the land that my grandfather owned. “But the process of buying the land was all legal, and even the transaction price was higher than the market price at the time. There was no case of lowering the price or buying the land fraudulently.”

“… Yes, it was higher than the market price. But compared to the market price a year later, it was too low.”Gu nianzhi said implicitly, “Did your mother investigate why the Qin family suddenly wanted to buy that land?”

“Are you saying that they might have gotten some insider information?”He zhichu propped his forehead with his hand and thought for a while, he said, “Back then, only the leaders at the highest level knew about the construction of the special zone in Z city. I don’t think the Qin family could reach out that far back then.”

At that time, the Qin family only had a small orphanage, and it was in the remote city of Z.

Also, at that time, Z city was only 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-level information.

Gu Nianzhi pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, “Then did your mother investigate who was behind the Qin Family?”

“You mean, there was someone supporting them?”

“Yes.”

“She did, but there were no people in the higher-ups who were familiar with the Qin family, nor did anyone have any interest in the Qin family.”. “My mother even checked the meeting records at the time. My mother did background checks on every higher-up who attended the meeting, and she didn’t find anything new.”

“So she just assumed that the Qin family was lucky and the case was closed.”

Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow and leaned back on the sofa. She said disdainfully, “Do you believe that a free lunch will fall from the Sky?”

“Of course not.”

“That’s right. How can the Qin family be so lucky? I’m not convinced.”Gu Nianzhi smiled faintly and raised her right index finger to wave it. “I think I can provide another line of thought.”

“What line of thought?”He zhichu leaned forward and asked nervously, “What did we miss?”

“Have you ever thought that maybe there is no one at home to help the Qin family, but there are people abroad?”

“But the country was not open at that time. It was almost impossible for people from abroad to get in touch with people from home…”

He Zhichu was puzzled, but his heart skipped a beat and he remembered something.
