Chapter 1605: Two of a Trade Never Agree
Qin Yaoguang was choked by He Zhichu.
How could she forget that before He Zhichu joined the army, he had also studied law. He was also a barrister…
Wen Shouyi’s eyes flashed. She walked over from the crowd and said to He Zhichu in an official manner businesslike manner, “Young Master He, I am Dean Qin’s lawyer. I will accompany her to go through the formalities.”
Qin Yaoguang thought that Wen Shouyi had already left. She did not expect her to still be here. She did not stand by and do nothing. Her feelings were complicated for a moment, but she did not reject Wen Shouyi’s suggestion.
Ever since Wen Shouyi appeared, Qin Yaoguang had stopped speaking. She began to exercise her “Miranda right” which meant the right to remain silent.
He Zhichu turned around and saw that Wen Shouyi had not left. He was a little surprised, but he did not show it. He raised his hand. “Then we’ll take her with us.”
Wen Shouyi took out her sunglasses and put them on Qin Yaoguang. She held her arm as they walked towards the door.
He Zhichu’s men followed Qin Yaoguang’s lab roster and took away thirty-six of her lab staff.
The entire lab building was sealed, completely sealed.
The military pulled the yellow line and sent armed soldiers to guard it.
In the era of the internet, it was difficult for such a big operation to escape the danger of being exposed on the internet.
When they left Qin Yaoguang’s lab, they had to pass through the gate of the Qin family’s private hospital.
With such a big lineup, many people immediately raised their phones and began to take photos, post on Weibo, and WeChat.
Before they left the hospital gate, all kinds of photos had already spread on social media.
“Young Master He, do you want to take measures to control public opinion?” He Zhichu’s personal secretary was closely monitoring the development of the internet, unsure of how far He Zhichu wanted to go.
He Zhichu got into the car and calmly said, “Don’t worry about it.”
Since He Zhichu had already said that he didn’t need to worry about it, his subordinates would only watch from the sidelines.
As a result, the popularity of the internet continued to rise. Whether it was trending or the headlines, news of Qin Yaoguang, the Dean of Qin Private Hospital, being taken away by the court martial spread like wildfire.
Gu Nianzhi had no idea that the case had been taken over by the military.
That afternoon, she was sprawled on her sofa. Her legs crossed as she was browsing Weibo with her phone.
She was suddenly attracted by the trending news on Weibo, and her front page was almost filled with news about Qin Yaoguang.
Gu Nianzhi immediately stood up and knelt on the sofa, her fingers quickly tapping on her phone as she browsed through the news.
Lu Jin was sitting not far from her, writing a program when he suddenly caught a glimpse of her kneeling and playing with her phone. He was flabbergasted.”… Nianzhi, why are you kneeling and looking at your phone?”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
She quickly changed from kneeling to sitting and said excitedly, “Dad, do you know what I saw? ! Major He arrested Qin Yaoguang!”
Lu Jin’s eyes widened and he stood up from his seat. “What?! He Zhichu arrested Qin Yaoguang?! What happened?!”
Gu Nianzhi picked up a piece of news and opened it. She was embarrassed.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Lu Jin was very worried and walked over. “Let me see.”
Gu Nianzhi came back to her senses and handed her phone to Lu Jin, she said awkwardly, “It’s still my case. Didn’t the Imperial Intermediate People’s court apply to the military to subpoena Qin Yaoguang and her lab staff? The news here said that because of the importance of Qin Yaoguang and her lab, there was a case that required all of them to assist in the investigation. It also said that the case involved the disappearance of a minor eight years ago…”
Lu Jin heaved a sigh of relief and looked much more relaxed. “The military took over? That’s not bad. He Zhichu did a pretty good job.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin and asked curiously, “Dad, Tell me the truth. Did you have a crush on Qin Yaoguang?”
“Me? A crush on her?!” Lu Jin pointed at himself and snorted. “I really didn’t have a crush on her! Don’t you know that peers are enemies? To me, I know everything she knows. I know more than she does. What is it about her that makes me admire her enough to develop a crush on her?”
“You really didn’t?” Gu Nianzhi asked suspiciously. “Dad, you don’t have to be embarrassed. I won’t laugh at you. Even if you did like her, it’s only the result of your hormones acting up. It’s fine as long as you don’t like her now.”
Lu Jin rolled his eyes and placed his legs on the coffee table. He crossed his legs and said, “I never liked her, in the past, now, and in the future. Don’t worry.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin for a while. Seeing that he wasn’t forcing himself, she nodded and said, “Okay, I believe you. Then you can’t object to what I’m going to do next.”
Lu Jin looked up at her, a little uneasy. “Nianzhi, are you really going to deal with Qin Yaoguang? But, if she reveals your constitution and your genes to the public, have you ever thought that you might be a lab rat for the rest of your life?”
Gu Nianzhi shook her head, and said confidently, “No, the worst case scenario is that my constitution will be exposed to the public, but I won’t be a lab rat for the rest of my life, because I want to return to the other world. Huo Shao will protect me there. He will never let me become someone else’s lab rat.”
Lu Jin heard this and slowly lowered his head, not daring to look into Gu Nianzhi’s eyes.
It was because her eyes were so determined, so persistent, as if she was speaking the only truth in the world.
The sun rose from the east and set in the west.
The four seasons alternated, and the cycle of fate was repeated. Her faith was already unbreakable.
“… What if you can’t go back?” Lu Jin asked softly, “Then what are you going to do?”
“What if I can’t go back?” Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. Seeing that Lu Jin was in a low mood, she quickly understood his feelings. She smiled and sat beside him, holding his arm and leaning her head on his shoulder, she said, “Father and Young Master He will also protect me, so that I won’t become a guinea pig.”
Lu Jin’s heart was brightened up, and his mood immediately improved. He stroked Gu Nianzhi’s head, and said with satisfaction, “That’s more like it. Nianzhi, let me tell you something. Men may be unreliable and change their hearts, but I definitely won’t. I’ll do my best to protect you.”
Gu Nianzhi arched her eyebrows, she smiled and said, “Dad, you don’t have to do this. Actually, what I meant was that Huo Shao was a very responsible person. When it came to love, he might be unreliable and he might change his heart, but he would still protect me. He would definitely not let me suffer such a fate. It’s because this is his duty. His natural duty is to protect us ordinary people from the scourge of bad luck.”
She was indeed not that confident in Huo Shaoheng’s love, but she was unusually confident in Huo Shaoheng’s principles as a soldier.
Lu Jin was a little embarrassed and nodded. “That’s good, that’s good. What a pity. If I hadn’t acted impulsively back then, I wouldn’t have engaged in an energy war with He Chengjian…”
Without energy now, they were like housewives who couldn’t cook without rice. They had technology but couldn’t activate it.
Gu Nianzhi quickly consoled him, “It doesn’t matter. If we really have to go back, there will always be a way. Besides, my target is Qin Yaoguang now. I won’t go back until I send this woman to prison!”
Lu Jin blinked and looked at her nervously. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
