Chapter 1304: The Fish That Escaped The Net

General Ji thought about it for a moment. He stroked his white beard with one hand and suddenly frowned. He glanced at Huo Shaoheng.

“What’s wrong? Did you remember? ” Huo Shaoheng asked immediately. Although he reacted quickly, he wasn’t particularly anxious. His tone was still unhurried, and no one could tell what he was talking about.

General JI nodded slightly. He thought, I’ll just tell Huo Shaoheng. He should be more reliable than his father, Huo Guanchen..

He raised the cigar in his hand and took a few more puffs. General Ji lowered his eyes and said calmly, “If I remember correctly, your uncle’s will was handed over to a certain vice-chairman of the military at that time. ”

“A certain vice-chairman of the military? Who is it? ” Huo Shaoheng lowered his head and took out his phone. He started to search for the names of the vice-chairmen of the military 17 years ago.

There was only one vice-chairman of the military, but there could be several vice-chairmen.

At most, there were eight, and at least three.

Huo Shaoheng could not remember who the vice-chairmen of the military were at that time.

On the phone, the names of all the vice-chairmen of the military from 17 years ago were displayed on the military intranet.

Every one of them had a name, a photo, and a simple resume.

The first to be listed was Huo Shaoheng’s grandfather, Huo Xuenong, who was also the father of the deceased Huo Guanyuan.

Huo Shaoheng’s fingers paused.

There was no need to ask anymore. He knew who had the suicide note..

He looked up as usual. Huo Shaoheng smiled and said, “thank you for your guidance, General Ji. I’ll go back and ask now. ”

“There’s no need to rush. ” General JI smiled as he took a drag on his cigar, he said meaningfully, “your grandfather is getting on in years, and his personality was very much the same back then. He must be even more so now. Fufu, you have to smooth things over. Don’t make the old man sick from anger. ”

Huo Shaoheng stood up and saluted respectfully. “Yes, Sir! ”

..

It was already around nine in the morning when they returned to the headquarters of the Special Operations forces from the headquarters of the military.

Huo Shaoheng returned to his official residence and handed the general’s hat to the orderly. He asked casually, “where’s Nianzhi? What’s she doing? ”

The orderly quickly replied, “reporting to the chief! Miss Gu drove out early in the morning. She said she was going to green city and wanted you to call if you needed anything. ”

Huo Shaoheng’s hand, which had been in the middle of Jiefeng’s buckle, paused. He slowly looked at the orderly. ” … She went to Green City? ”

Green City was most famous for its women’s prison.

He quickly remembered that Bai Jinyi was being held there. She must have gone to see Bai Jinyi.

Huo Shaoheng heaved a sigh of relief. He took off his military jacket and hung it in the closet at the entrance before going upstairs to rest.

..

Gu Nianzhi had already arrived at the reception room of Green City’s women’s prison and was sitting face to face with Bai Jinyi.

She smiled as she sized Bai Jinyi up. She nodded and said, “physicist Bai, long time no see. Your complexion hasn’t changed. Your figure and skin are much better than when you were in prison. ”

Gu Nianzhi remembered seeing Bai Jinyi in court a year and a half ago. Her skin was a little dark, and there were deep crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes. She was also slightly Chubby.

However, Bai Jinyi, who was sitting in front of her now, had become much fairer and thinner. She was at least two sizes smaller, but her skin did not seem to relax. Instead, it was taut and well-shaped. It even had a faint luster when facing the sunlight through the window.

It looked like she was doing well in prison..

Gu Nianzhi’s gaze was slightly cold.

Bai Jinyi was also sizing Gu Nianzhi up.

After not seeing her for a year and a half, this little girl’s gaze was much sharper than before. It had lost its childishness and appeared mature and steady.

Her eyes were extremely large and dark. Her jet-black jade-like pupils were like fine black gold velvet. They were so dark that they had a texture to them.

Her tall and well-embroidered nose bridge made her face look very three-dimensional. She had the bright beauty of a European woman.

Any Oriental woman with this kind of appearance was a peerless beauty.

Bai Jinyi’s gaze slid from Gu Nianzhi’s beautiful face to her bulging chest.

Gu Nianzhi was wearing a loose half-sleeved sweater made of crystal blue silk blended with a little cashmere. The opening of the one-sided collar made her delicate collarbone faintly visible.

The single-flower Necklace of Van Cleef & Arbour on her neck was simple and elegant, inadvertently revealing the details and giving her a low-key luxury.

Long hair draped over her shoulders, her bright eyes were full of love, and she looked like a goddess. This was the kind of woman she was talking about.

Bai Jinyi heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, and her face darkened.

Song Jinning from the past was so similar to Gu Nianzhi now.

They were both talented and beautiful girls, surrounded by men who truly loved her and valued her.

However, Song Jinning’s taste was much worse than Gu Nianzhi’s..

Bai Jinyi thought maliciously, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow and placed her hands on the long conference table in front of her. She said softly, “Bai Jinyi, have you ever thought about why I came to see you? ”

Bai Jinyi raised her head. “That’s something you should be thinking about. Why should I waste my time thinking about such boring questions? ”

She showed her contempt by ignoring her.

Gu Nianzhi shook her head. “Why bother? Haven’t you thought about who caused you to end up in prison? From a promising physicist to this? ”

Bai Jinyi’s lips curled into a mocking smile. She leaned forward and said, “I’ve thought about it. You’re the one who caused me to end up in prison, from a promising physicist to the one who’s qualified to end up in prison. You’re the great lawyer Gu! ”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, ” … is that so? I’m honored, but unfortunately, you’re wrong. ” She added, “No wonder you’re not as smart and intuitive as Ms. Song. ”

Bai Jinyi could no longer maintain her composure. She stood up in a flash and sneered, “if you keep talking, I’m not going to keep you company! ”

She turned and walked towards the door of the reception room.

Gu Nianzhi watched her walk towards the door coldly. Just as Bai Jinyi put her hand on the door handle, Gu Nianzhi continued, ” … Bai Jinyi, Huo Jialan didn’t know that Song Jinning knew about her background until you told her. ”

Bai Jinyi’s hand froze.

Her eyes widened suddenly, and she turned around and walked back quickly. She placed her hands on the conference table and asked anxiously, “what did you say? SAY IT AGAIN! ”

Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and smiled confidently. “The mantis stalks the CICADA, but the Oriole is behind it. You think you’re the Oriole, but you’re actually the Oriole that the hunter put in the net. ”

“Huo Jialan. Oh, no, it should be Luo Jialan. She’s changed her surname and moved out of the Huo family’s household registration. ” Gu Nianzhi stared fixedly at Bai Jinyi, not letting go of the slightest change in her expression.

She stopped beating around the Bush and asked Bai Jinyi directly, “So, can you tell me when exactly did you tell Luo Jialan that song jinning was also someone who knew about her past? ”

This kind of direct inquiry would allow the other party to subconsciously answer the question she wanted to hide.

Bai Jinyi’s lips trembled and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu Nianzhi, “you… what do you mean by all this? ”

“You tell me first, when did you tell Luo Jialan that song jinning was also an insider of her life? ”

Gu Nianzhi repeated this lightly and let go of her arms. She held a pen and a recording pen in her hands. “Go ahead. Maybe I can piece together another timeline and help you find the person who was behind this. “
