Chapter 2136: Chapter 2136 can not be put on the table (the first is a monthly pa.s.s)
Huo Shaoheng, on the other hand, was very calm.
He had met too many people from all walks of life. He continued to calmly interrogate Guo huining about her understanding of Guo Hongmao. He was sure that this was the first time she had learned about her relations.h.i.+p with Guo Hongmao, he did not continue to pursue the matter.
It was almost five in the afternoon when Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng left the detention center.
It was almost dark in the imperial capital on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
However, the white street lamps on the long street lit up like small lanterns. It was like the Lantern Festival.
The radio in the car was playing songs about the reunion of the Lantern Festival, and the television was also preparing for the Lantern Festival.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the pa.s.senger seat of Huo Shaoheng. She rested her chin on one hand and looked at the street scene in a daze. She thought about the new clue she had just heard, and still felt that it was very magical.
She was silent for a while, then took out her phone and pulled out the message that Huo Shaoheng had forwarded to her. She looked at it again.

This time, she stared at the messages related to Guo Hongmao for a while.
Guo Hongmao had a total of three phones: one for work, one to contact relatives and friends, and one for an unknown purpose.
Zhao Liangze’s investigation showed that the first two phones had a fixed number, while the third phone, which he did not know what it was for, did not have a number.
Gu nianzhi asked curiously, “Huo, do you know that Guo Hongmao has a phone that doesn’t have a number?”
“Yes, it’s said that he carries it with him everywhere, just like the other two phones.”
“But why would Guo Hongmao keep a cell phone that doesn’t have a phone number with him at all times?”
Gu Nianzhi really wanted to know the reason.
“… Huo Shao, where is Guo Hongmao? Where are his three cell phones?”Gu Nianzhi’s fingers caressed the cell phone screen, feeling itchy.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her. “What are you trying to do? I went to investigate the law firm in King’s Landing and alerted the enemy. He was abroad at the time and did not return to the country after receiving the news.”
At the time, they really did not know that the law firm in King’s Landing was so deeply involved.
“Then you didn’t put a warrant out for his arrest? Or do you want him to return to the country?”Gu Nianzhi asked in a low voice.
Huo Shaoheng tapped the steering wheel with his right hand rhythmically and said plainly, “His law firm didn’t commit any crimes, so why did they arrest him?”
“Besides, I thought this was he zhichu’s property, so there was still some protection.”
He had a.s.sumed that he zhichu had sufficient arrangements for his property and wouldn’t harm Gu Nianzhi.
Gu nianzhi understood what Huo Shaoheng meant, she quickly said, “Huo Shao, you can’t say that. My brother was in such a hurry at the time, how could he have arranged everything properly? It’s already good enough that he could sell it off, and I think it must have been sold at a low price. What a pity…”
Huo Shaoheng’s heart skipped a beat. He smiled at her and turned the steering wheel to the highway to Xishan.
The first place they went to was Huo Shaoheng’s father, Huo Guanchen’s villa in the West Mountain. It happened to be on the opposite side of Lu Yuan’s villa and was actually quite far away.
Normally, he wouldn’t go. Today was a festival and he had promised Huo Guanchen, so Huo Shaoheng still had to visit grandfather Huo.
He drove quickly and soon arrived in front of Huo Guanchen’s villa in the West Mountain.
Huo Shaoheng stopped the car in front of the villa and opened the car door for Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi jumped out of the car and hissed in the cold mountain air.
Huo Shaoheng calmly put on the fluffy hat that came with the down jacket.
Gu Nianzhi’s face looked even smaller against the white fur.
Huo Shaoheng couldn’t help pinching her face and holding her hand as they walked to the front door of the villa.
The doorbell rang, and the iron fan door opened automatically.
Huo Shaoheng led gu nianzhi inside.
Huo Guanchen stood on the steps in front of the villa’s main door, smiling as he watched the two of them walk over.
Gu Nianzhi greeted them politely. “Chief Huo, happy holidays.”
“Nianzhi’s here. Come in quickly. Your grandfather has been waiting for you all day.”Huo Guanchen moved aside to watch Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng approach.
Huo Shaoheng looked around and didn’t see any other cars. He thought the Zhang family hadn’t come.
However, when he and Gu Nianzhi entered the house, he realized that he had guessed wrong.
The Zhang family must have parked their car in the backyard, so when the two of them entered, they didn’t see it either in the front yard or by the road at the main entrance.
If Huo Shaoheng had known that the Zhang family had really come, he wouldn’t have brought Gu Nianzhi into the house.
But it was fine that they were here now, but his father, Huo Guanchen, had already lost his credibility in his heart. It was almost negative.
Gu Nianzhi saw the Zhang family as soon as she entered the house.
Everyone was present except for head nurse Zhang.
Grandfather Huo’s illegitimate son, Zhang Baochen, Zhang Baochen’s wife, Qian s.h.i.+hui, their son, Zhang Wenjie, and their daughter, Zhang Wenna.
The whole family gathered around grandfather Huo in a “Happy family”manner.
It was not surprising that this family was related to grandfather Huo’s family, Gu Nianzhi. They were his biological sons, so why couldn’t they enjoy the “Happy Family”?
However, it was unbelievable that someone of Huo Guanchen’s status could also enjoy the “Happy Family”.
However, even though Gu Nianzhi was about to complain to the heavens in her heart, on the surface, she was still smiling like she could be bullied. She stood obediently by Huo Shaoheng’s side, looking like an adorable little bird.
Zhang Wenjie stole a glance at her, and his face turned red.
Zhang Wenna rolled her eyes.
Gu Nianzhi knew how to act. The first time she met her, she was really tricked by her soft and cute appearance.
Looking at her aggressive behavior in court later on, it perfectly ill.u.s.trated the saying, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.”.
Also, being obsessed with looks could kill people!
Zhang Wenna quietly kicked Zhang Wenjie.
Zhang Wenjie reluctantly withdrew his gaze, completely unaware that Huo Shaoheng’s “Death stare”had been fixed on his head for a long time.
Qian s.h.i.+hui stood up with a smile on her face and said in a familiar tone, “Shaoheng is here, and Nianzhi. You guys are very kind. Let’s have dinner together later.”
Huo Shaoheng did not say anything, but Huo Guanchen had already said, “Shaoheng and Nianzhi still have something to do later. Sit down and leave.”
To be honest, Huo Shaoheng had only come here to give Huo Guanchen face.
Grandfather Huo had already fallen from his position as an elder in his heart.
Qian s.h.i.+hui smiled awkwardly and said, “Then have a bowl of tangyuan. Having a tangyuan on the lantern festival can be considered a fitting occasion.”
Huo Guanchen was a little tempted and glanced at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo shaoheng said unhurriedly, “No need, I don’t eat sweets. Nianzhi’s stomach isn’t good, so she can’t eat anything too glutinous.”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
Her body was very healthy. was her perfect genes a lie?
If Lu Jin had heard Huo Shaoheng say that, he would have beaten her up!
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself, but she still gave Huo shaoheng face and rubbed her stomach. She smiled shyly and said, “Mrs. Zhang, you’re too kind. My stomach is indeed not good, so I’m very picky when I eat glutinous rice b.a.l.l.s.”
“The glutinous rice flour is xianghe glutinous from Xiangxi. It’s the kind that’s grown organically. It’s ground by hand, and the glutinous rice flour that’s produced mechanically always has a rusty taste. I’m not used to it.”
“And the sesame filling in the glutinous rice b.a.l.l.s must be black sesame, a specialty of the yun-gui plateau. It must have been ground into black sesame powder after being steamed nine times and dried nine times.”
Qian s.h.i.+hui:”…”
After taking such a long detour, wasn’t it because they felt that their stuff wasn’t presentable? !
