Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1579: Won’t Let A Single Person Off The Hook

Wen Shouyi looked at Gu Nianzhi with a half-hearted smile, and took two steps towards her. Wen Shouyi whispered into her ear, “Since you have concrete evidence, have you ever thought that the person who took you away in the end is…. your crazy father, Gu Xiangwen?”

“You’re the crazy one!” Gu Nianzhi reached out with one hand and pushed Wen Shouyi’s face away. She said in disgust, “Speak properly and don’t stand so close!”

Wen Shouyi staggered from her push and almost fell.

She held onto a pillar in the hall of the court and stood still. She grinned and said, “Gu Nianzhi, your biggest problem is that you can’t face reality. “Your father was the two-time Nobel laureate, Gu Xiangwen. Your mother is Qin Yaoguang, the Dean of Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital, and the ace of the neurosurgery department. However, none of them really loved you. They only treated you as a pawn.”

“My parents are just ordinary gardeners, but they loved me without reservation. They would do anything for me as long as I could be happy. I think you’re envious of me, so you’re making things difficult for my parents, right?”

Gu Nianzhi’s expression changed. Wishing she could punch Wen Shouyi on her fair, round face, she clenched her fists tighter and tighter.

Wen Shouyi’s delicate features looked particularly annoying.

“Envious of you? That’s why I’m making things difficult for your parents? Not only is your face as big as a basin, but your logic is ridiculously illogical.” Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and clenched her fists even tighter. Her nails dug deep into her palms, and the pain made her shudder.

Her mind calmed down, and she continued, “Your parents love you, so they wouldn’t commit a crime? My parents don’t love me, so they would commit a crime? Is that what you’re saying? Is that your logical reasoning? With your level, does Qin Yaoguang still think you’re a reliable lawyer? It looks like she is just so-so.”

“So what?” Wen Shouyi imitated Gu Nianzhi’s tone and was not angered by her words. “I’m just reminding you that you’re suing my parents for kidnapping, but in reality you’re actually suing your own father for kidnapping.”

“Because, in your disappearance, your father was the mastermind. Even if my parents were in the wrong, they were just helping people.” Wen Shouyi was very confident that Gu Nianzhi was shooting herself in the foot.

“So you think my father was the one who kidnapped me?” Gu Nianzhi’s lips curled upwards, “What if I don’t think so? You all said that my father died in the fire, so there’s no way to prove it. Does that mean you can throw all kinds of accusations at him? !”

Wen Shouyi looked at her calmly with a faint smile on her face.”… It’s not that there’s no evidence, and it’s not that we’re trying to frame your father. It’s just that he really masterminded your disappearance.”

“First of all, from the chain of evidence we have, your father was the mastermind behind your disappearance. Your father died in the fire, so this case should be dismissed.”

“Second of all, you want to sue my parents. Fine, but you have to have enough evidence to convince the judge and the jury that your father wasn’t the mastermind behind the scenes, but my parents were the mastermind.”

Her eyes eerily bright, Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists. “But you and I also know that your chain of evidence is fake!”

“I don’t think it’s fake.” Wen Shouyi took a step closer and walked towards her. She looked aggressive. “The note that your father asked the orderly to pass on was authenticated by the most famous handwriting expert in our country. It was indeed written by your father himself.”

“The witness who saw a man and a little girl get into the car at the intersection back then also confirmed that the man was the famous two-time Nobel laureate, Gu Xiangwen.”

“A month later, countless people at the intersection of C City saw you sitting in a burning car while your father laughed maniacally in the fire in front of the car. Gu Nianzhi, have you thought about how to solve this chain of evidence tied to your father?”

Wen Shouyi was indeed a lawyer. When she calmed down, her professionalism immediately showed itself. Her meticulous and attentive ways gave her the upper hand.

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help taking two steps back with a hint of hesitation and shock on her face.

Yes, from the surface evidence, the mastermind behind her kidnapping was her father, Gu Xiangwen. At best, the gardeners were accomplices.

But if the gardeners were to be sued, then her father would undoubtedly be the defendant as well.

She wouldn’t be surprised at all if the couple pushed all the blame onto Gu Xiangwen.

But she knew that wasn’t the case.

Was she afraid?

No, she wanted to clear her father’s name step by step so that his reputation wouldn’t be tarnished by this group of people.

But she couldn’t rashly let her father reveal himself and become the target of public criticism again.

This war was really difficult to fight, but if she gave up just like that, she wouldn’t be Gu Nianzhi anymore.

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid? Do you regret it? It’s not too late for you to withdraw your lawsuit now.” Wen Shouyi’s eyes flickered, and her voice became softer. “Your beautiful life has just begun. Why must you make things difficult for Auntie Qin and me? As long as you withdraw your lawsuit, I promise I won’t pursue the matter. I’ll even persuade Auntie Qin to dote on you.”

A trace of contempt and disdain flashing through her eyes, Wen Shouyi paused for a moment. “If you’re not envious of my parents’ love for me, then you’re envious of Auntie Qin’s love for me. Yes, if your biological mother isn’t good to you and is good to other girls, no one would be able to stand it, right? But you don’t have chemistry with your parent. You weren’t a child born out of love, so don’t go through all that trouble.”

Gu Nianzhi looked at Wen Shouyi’s self-righteous attitude, but her heart did not waver. She even felt like laughing.

“In your heart, am I such a petty person?”

“Human life is at stake, lawyer Wen. Do you have any respect and reverence for justice, the law, and order in your heart?”

Gu Nianzhi did not retreat anymore. She gradually straightened her back.

She looked down at Wen Shouyi, whose expression had suddenly changed. Gu Nianzhi took two steps forward, and she tutted. “In your heart, I’m either envious of your parents’ love for you, or envious of Qin Yaoguang’s love for you. Your speculation about my motives is actually a reflection of your own innermost thoughts. It’s your own narrow-mindedness.”

Wen Shouyi was slightly taken aback. “Isn’t it? Don’t give me those noble reasons. I don’t believe a single one of them.”

“Unfortunately, I do.” Gu Nianzhi pointed at her own chest. “I’m not suing your parents out of envy. I’m just trying to make them bear the legal responsibility that they deserve.”

“It doesn’t matter who they work for, or whether they’re the real masterminds behind the scenes. They’re the ones who kidnapped me. There’s no denying that.”

“I want everyone who harmed me to be brought to justice. No matter who it is, even if it’s my father or… mother.”

Gu Nianzhi finished her sentence slowly and was satisfied to see a flash of panic in Wen Shouyi’s eyes.
