Chapter 1583: You’ll Be Better Than Her
Gu Nianzhi followed Lu Jin into his bedroom and subconsciously looked around.
Lu Jin’s room, full of post-modern colors that surpa.s.sed the times, reflected his personality.
The bedding was painted with simple black and white geometric lines.
A large, colorful and complicated abstract oil painting hung on the bedside table.
Gu Nianzhi was immediately attracted to the painting and couldn’t take her eyes off it.
It wasn’t until Lu Jin patted her shoulder that she came back to her senses and said with a smile, “This painting is so charming. I feel like I’m being sucked in just by looking at it.”
“Of course. It’s used for psychological hypnosis. Anyone who enters my room will be automatically hypnotized by me.”
After so many years on the run, Lu Jin had developed a habit of being cautious.
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
She shook her head speechlessly and sat down with Lu Jin on the sofa by the window in his room. She took out her phone notepad and began to ask him questions.
“Dad, what I want to ask you is, how did you intercept Qin Yaoguang?” Gu Nianzhi needed to know the details. “You always said you intercepted her, but I don’t know how you did it.”
Lu Jin looked away and muttered, “Do you need to know that much?”
“Of course.” Gu Nianzhi was very serious. “How else would I refute their chain of evidence?”
“But I’m worried that if I tell you, you’ll find that their chain of evidence is intact and irrefutable.”
Gu Nianzhi choked and putting on a pained expression, she clutched her chest unhappily. “Are you questioning my professionalism? I’ve been hurt and can’t get better.”
Lu Jin immediately surrendered. “I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”
He took a deep breath and recalled what had happened eight years ago.
“… After I sent you to the He family, I didn’t feel completely at ease. I’ve been monitoring Qin Yaoguang, but I was worried that she won’t give up.”
“One day four years later, I found out that she had contacted the He family’s gardener, Wen Dayou, through Wen Shouyi. She asked him to do her a favor.”
“But she had always looked down on these housekeeping staff and thought that talking to them was a waste of time. My intelligent monitoring system had a.n.a.lyzed and determined that this action was abnormal in Qin Yaoguang’s behavior pattern, so it warned me.
“Then, I began to follow Wen Dayou and Wen Shouyi, and found that they had begun to investigate the route in the He family…
“After collecting a certain amount of information, I a.n.a.lyzed Qin Yaoguang’s target and the route map, and… used it…”
“But I was able to complete it flawlessly because she wanted to frame me. This caused a huge loophole in her plan.”
Gu Nianzhi was stunned and immediately asked, “Then did she know that you were monitoring her?”
“She didn’t know at first, but after I took you away from her, she found out.” Lu Jin pointed at his head. “That’s when she implanted the anti-hypnosis bio-chip into her own brain. She knew I did it, and she started to be wary of me.”
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help rolling her eyes in her heart.
What the h.e.l.l was going on…
What kind of ill-fated relations.h.i.+p did they have?
Although they were wary of each other, the two of them had actually used artificial insemination to give birth to a child.
The world here was too complicated, and Gu Nianzhi really, really wanted to go back there…
Recalling the chain of evidence that the other party had, she silently looked at the contents of her notes, and slowly came up with an idea.
It was not difficult to refute the other party, but the difficult part was how to drag Qin Yaoguang into it.
Until now, she still could not find the direction, because Qin Yaoguang had disa.s.sociated herself very completely.
But she knew that the Wen family was definitely a breakthrough point.
Not to mention that Wen Shouyi was in cahoots with Qin Yaoguang and had done many unspeakable things, even the seemingly honest Wen Dayou and Liang Meili were actually capable of kidnapping children. She knew that this breakthrough point of hers was quite suitable.
Of course, if it wasn’t suitable, then she would find another one.
Gu Nianzhi had never been afraid of a direct confrontation like this.
“Okay, I got it. I’ll inform you when I confirm the time for court after I go back.” Gu Nianzhi slowly explained her schedule to Lu Jin, “You can just stay put. Gu Xiangwen ‘pa.s.sed away’ eight years ago. You’re Lu Jin.”
Lu Jin looked at her eagerly and murmured, “Have I embarra.s.sed you as a father? Like a rat hiding in the gutter, unspeakable…”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart tightened again. She was truly heartbroken. She shook Lu Jin’s hand gently. “Why would you think that? Of course not!”
“… But why don’t you let me reveal my ident.i.ty in front of others? As long as I could help you, I wouldn’t blink even if He Chengjian immediately arrested me.” Lu Jin looked at her seriously. He really wanted to help Gu Nianzhi in this lawsuit. “As long as I appear…”
“Don’t worry.” Gu Nianzhi held Lu Jin’s hand tightly and realized that it was cold. “I really don’t have such thoughts. How could you humiliate me? You’re my pride!”
“Really?” Lu Jin didn’t believe her. “You’re not saying that on purpose to make me happy, are you?”
Lu Jin was at a loss when it came to Gu Nianzhi.
Actually, he didn’t have much experience with Gu Nianzhi.
The most vivid memories were of Gu Nianzhi from birth until she was two years old.
After that, he left for four years. When he came back, he immediately thought of a way to send her to the He family.
After another six years, he took her away from the He family and sent her to the other world.
Now, eight years had pa.s.sed. She was already 20 years old, but he still couldn’t help but think of her as a two-year-old baby. He held her in his mouth and held her in his hands for fear that she would fall…
But after so many years of estrangement, he couldn’t make up for everything with love.
He didn’t know what she liked now, or what her tastes were like. He had only just found out that she couldn’t eat onions!
Lu Jin felt even more guilty now.
“Of course not.” Gu Nianzhi regretted asking about the past. There was no doubt that Lu Jin had a heavy psychological burden.
He had been blaming himself, blaming himself for not fulfilling his responsibility as a father.
Gu Nianzhi was glad that she had lost her memory and had not let that dark time corrupt her mind and body.
What she had now was already good enough. She did not need to go back to the past.
“Dad, if you still want to have Gu Xiangwen’s glory and restore your status as a genius scientist, I can help you restore your ident.i.ty,” Gu Nianzhi said seriously. She did her best to dispel Lu Jin’s insecure feelings and self-reproach.
Lu Jin shook his head quickly and said anxiously, “No, no, no! That kind of glory and status has never been what I wanted. I just want to take good care of you so that you can have a normal family.”
Gu Nianzhi said, Dad, I’m afraid you have some misunderstanding about a “normal family”?
A family like theirs would never be a “normal family”, but who cared if it wasn’t a normal family?
Gu Nianzhi only knew that she would never agree to exchanging Lu Jin as her father for a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand normal families.
She put a hand on Lu Jin’s shoulder and pressed hard to make him feel her determination.
“In that case, father, you will listen to me, and see how I will bring the male and female gardeners to justice in court!”
Lu Jin frowned and thought for a while, saying, “If you lose…”
“Bah, bah, bah! Bad things don’t work, good things do! If you say that again, I’m going to turn on you. Even if you’re my father I have to turn on you!” Gu Nianzhi hated hearing the word “lose” the most. This was one of her petpeeves.
Besides, even if she was not well prepared, with her full improvisation experience, the other party will not win.
Hearing that Gu Nianzhi was anxious, Lu Jin immediately compromised. “Okay, okay, okay, I was wrong. Knock on the wood three times!”
Lu Jin knocked three times on the windowsill to calm Gu Nianzhi’s anger.
“Dad, I won’t lose.” She stood up from the sofa and said sternly, “Just have a little faith in me and see how I peel off their skin. I won’t let go of anyone who has harmed us father and daughter!”
Lu Jin looked up at Gu Nianzhi and narrowed his eyes. He suddenly felt that her expression was very familiar.
His heart skipped a beat. He jumped up from the sofa and said, “I remember now. I have a Blu-ray disc of a lawyer appearing in court. Take a look and learn from him.”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
What era was it that still used Blu-ray discs?
Lu Jin happily walked to the wall and entered the complicated pa.s.sword. He opened the safe in the wall and took out a Blu-ray disc, then sighed. “It’s been more than ten years. Actually, I should transcribe them and save them in the cloud system. Wait a minute, I’ll transcribe them now.”
Lu Jin’s computer was very powerful.
It only took him five seconds to transcribe the 100 gigabytes of content on the Blu-ray disc onto the computer, and then transfer it to his own encrypted cloud system.
“This is the account and pa.s.sword. Go take a look when you’re free.” Lu Jin said as he carefully locked the Blu-ray disc back into the safe.
Gu Nianzhi: “? ? ?”
“Dad, since when are you interested in the law?” Gu Nianzhi was speechless. Her father was too omnipotent! He even knew the law? !
“I don’t know anything about the law,” Lu Jin admitted honestly. “But I once saw a powerful person go to court. I hope she can give you some inspiration and let you learn something useful.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at him suspiciously and found it more and more strange. She immediately used her phone to connect to Lu Jin’s website and entered her account number and pa.s.sword.
The internet speed was very fast. After she connected, she saw that there were many small folders here. Each folder was named after the time and place.
It looked like it was more than ten or twenty years ago.
She opened a folder that was closest to the current time, which was twelve years ago.
There was a video file that had just been transcribed and uploaded.
Gu Nianzhi opened the video file and found that it was a video of a trial.
The lawyer who was speaking eloquently was an ordinary-looking woman. However, when she spoke, she immediately became very charming. People completely ignored her appearance and only felt that she was incomparably attractive.
Gu Nianzhi was extremely surprised. “This is… Young Master He’s mother? !”
She had seen a photo of this woman at the He family, so she was no stranger to her appearance.
“Yes.” Lu Jin nodded. “She’s the best lawyer I’ve ever seen. Nianzhi, you’ll be as good as her! No, you’ll be better than her!”
