Chapter 1610: Reason and Emotion
Not to mention Old Master Qin’s old age, he was also the chairman of the Qin Private Hospital Group. Despite such a status, he did not use his ident.i.ty to pressure others. Instead, he used the ident.i.ty of an old father to plead with He Zhichu to meet Qin Yaoguang.
“Young Master He, as a father, I did not do a good job and let her act recklessly. However, I can guarantee that she did not do anything shameful. She is a person who suffers losses because she is too straightforward and doesn’t beat around the bush. That’s why people always misunderstand her…”
Old Master Qin begged bitterly.
In fact, even if he didn’t beg He Zhichu, Qin Yaoguang would be handed over to the court system in two hours. Old Master Qin would definitely be able to see her.
However, he chose to beg him.
He Zhichu was unmoved. He looked at Old Master Qin coldly and said, “Old Master Qin, how can you guarantee that Qin Yaoguang didn’t do anything shameful? Do you know what experiments she did?”
Old Master Qin was stunned for a moment, and he mumbled, “I don’t know anything about what she did. I only want the hospital to make money and give an explanation to the shareholders. These years, she has managed the Qin Private Hospital Group well. It’s not an exaggeration to say that she has both fame and fortune. I don’t know how this could have happened.”
“You really don’t know? Just now, our military vehicles were burned down on the road. Who do you think would be so crazy?” He Zhichu’s clear and cold voice sounded cold and distant.
Wen Shouyi watched He Zhichu from the side for a long time. When she saw that he didn’t show any emotion, her expression clearly darkened. She said softly, “Old Master Qin was sick. He wasn’t in the capital for a while, but in Z City instead.”
“He only found out about Aunt Qin’s accident yesterday. He also heard that the staff of her laboratory was burned to death in the car accident. He felt that the situation was urgent, so he disregarded his illness and flew over from Z City.”
Old Master Qin’s expression became serious. He asked He Zhichu, “Young Master He, what exactly happened in the car accident? I’m very worried about Yaoguang’s safety. I think that the car accident was not aimed at the laboratory staff, but at her!”
“It’s safer for her to be with you guys, so I didn’t rush over immediately. Instead, I came over after dealing with some false statements on the Internet.”
“I believe you, Young Master He. You’re not someone who uses public power for personal gain, nor are you someone who uses public power to vent your personal anger. If Yaoguang has done something wrong, she will be punished as she should be. I will not tolerate it!”
He Zhichu’s expression softened slightly, and his voice also softened a little, “Old Master Qin, you’re exaggerating. The cause of that car accident is still under investigation. No matter who it is, they will not escape the punishment of the law.”As for who the accident was aimed at, for the time being, we believe that it was only aimed at the staff of the laboratory. I can’t tell who wanted Dean Qin’s life for the time being.”
It was not impossible, but the possibility was very low.
Wen Shouyi quickly said, “Young Master He has always been fair. He is a lawyer himself, so he definitely won’t disregard the law.”
He Zhichu pursed his lips, and there was not a hint of warmth in his almond-shaped eyes. He looked at Wen Shouyi and said, “Lawyer Wen, you still want to be Qin Yaoguang’s lawyer?”
Wen Shouyi had never heard He Zhichu speak to her in such a distant tone. She felt very uncomfortable, but no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she would not show it in front of He Zhichu because that would only make her a joke.
She calmly said, “I volunteered to represent Auntie Qin the day before yesterday. Yesterday, Old Master Qin specifically called me and asked me to defend Auntie Qin. I want to help her, no matter what.”
“Is that so? Even if she had sent people to the detention center to a.s.sa.s.sinate your parents, you still want to help her?” He Zhichu’s gaze, clearly disdainful, swept across her.
“What? Someone went to the detention center to a.s.sa.s.sinate my parents?!” Wen Shouyi’s eyes widened in shock. “What about my parents? How are they doing? !”
He Zhichu avoided talking about Wen Shouyi’s parents’ situation and asked in return, “Don’t you think Qin Yaoguang sent those people?”
“Auntie Qin isn’t that kind of person!” Wen Shouyi clenched her fists and said with great emotion, “She wouldn’t do such a thing!”
“You’re that sure?” He Zhichu averted his gaze and smiled coldly. “As expected, since your parents have already taken the blame for you.”
“Young Master He, when you accuse others, you have to give evidence. Do you have evidence to prove that Aunt Qin sent someone to do it?” Wen Shouyi blushed at He Zhichu’s words, but she still forced herself to remain calm and asked He Zhichu about what happened to her parents in the detention center.
“Even if I have evidence, I will only submit it to the court. Do you think I will tell you?” He Zhichu smiled faintly and looked at Old Master Qin. “Did you hear that? Your daughter is very capable. Only she gets to end other people’s lives, so I really don’t know who would want to end her life.”
Old Master Qin seemed to not know about this, and he blinked. “Yaoguang really did such a thing? !”
He used his crutch to support himself on the ground and said bitterly, “I have to persuade her. If she really did this, we have to take responsibility!”
He Zhichu looked at his watch. Almost half an hour had pa.s.sed. Another hour and a half and it would be forty-eight hours.
He raised his hand to call his men over and said, “Bring Qin Yaoguang over.”
Old Master Qin quickly asked, “Is it convenient here? Do you want us to go over and see her?”
“No need, just watch from here,” He Zhichu said as he walked to the door and pointed to the room. “There are surveillance cameras here. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.”
“Thank you, Young Master He, for your guidance. Actually, there is nothing that I am afraid of other people hearing. It doesn’t matter whether there are surveillance cameras or not.” Old Master Qin was a man of old age, and his sincere manner was not to be disliked.
He Zhichu lit a cigarette and stood at the door to smoke.
Ten minutes later, Qin Yaoguang was brought over by two female soldiers.
He Zhichu took a puff with the cigarette in his mouth. With the cigarette in his hand, he said, “Your father came to see you and even found you a lawyer.”
Qin Yaoguang still pursed her lips and did not say a word.
She had said that without a lawyer, she would remain silent.
The door opened, and she saw Old Master Qin and Wen Shouyi.
Qin Yaoguang had endured two days of unwillingness and pain, so she had an emotional outburst.
“Dad! You’re finally here!” She pounced over and hugged Old Master Qin while sobbing.
Wen Shouyi quickly tried to persuade her, “Auntie Qin, don’t be sad. Old Master Qin had been sick recently, so he flew over from Z city.”
“Huh? Dad, are you sick? What kind of illness? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?” Qin Yaoguang was very nervous about Old Master Qin’s health.
She was Old Master Qin’s only daughter, and had always had a good relations.h.i.+p with this father.
Although she did not have any mother-daughter relations.h.i.+p with Gu Nianzhi, the father-daughter relations.h.i.+p between her and Old Master Qin was very deep.
“I’m fine! Don’t anger me and I’ll have a few more years to live!” Old Master Qin glared at Qin Yaoguang, then suddenly raised his cane to hit her.
“Tell me! Did you have anything to do with Nianzhi’s disappearance eight years ago? ! Tell me the truth!” Old Master Qin interrogated her as he chased after her.
Qin Yaoguang was so angry that she fell on her back and shouted, “Dad, you’re really my biological father! How can you be on the side of outsiders? !”
“I’m only asking you if you had anything to do with what happened eight years ago! And did you frame Gu Xiangwen? I’ve told you many times not to be narrow-minded. Gu Xiangwen may have let you down, but you can’t use such methods. Besides, Nianzhi is your biological daughter. How can you use her as a p.a.w.n to destroy Gu Xiangwen “? !”
“Look at what you’ve done! There are so many people waiting to take your life, but you still refuse to behave yourself! I’ve already said it before. A tall poppy will receive the envy and resentment of others. You are much more outstanding than others. If those people can’t get your skills, they will want to destroy you!”
Old Master Qin was panting as he cursed. All of it was recorded by the surveillance cameras.
Qin Yaoguang was almost in despair. “Dad! What are you saying? ! Are you here to rescue me or send me in? !”
What she didn’t want to admit and what the other party had no evidence of at all was now exposed by Old Master Qin’s continuous scolding.
Wen Shouyi’s eyes flashed. She stood between Old Master Qin and Qin Yaoguang, then advised, “Old Master Qin, calm down. You haven’t recovered from your illness yet. I’m afraid that making a fuss like this will aggravate your illness.”
Then she said to Qin Yaoguang seriously, “In another hour, Auntie Qin will go to the detention center of the court. Please think about what Old Master Qin said. I will do my best to defend you.”
