Chapter 1727: The Most Ordinary Friend
In the afternoon, Lu Jin brought the DNA sequencing results of Wen Shouyi and Luo Piaopiao to Gu Nianzhi’s apartment.
At first, Huo Shaoheng wanted to take Gu Nianzhi out to watch the lantern festival.
However, upon hearing Lu Jin’s words, Gu Nianzhi became so surprised that she didn’t want to go anywhere.
Huo Shaoheng felt a little regretful, but he knew that business was more important.
The 15th day of the first lunar month had pa.s.sed, and the court was about to begin again.
Lu Jin asked Huo Shaoheng rudely, “Mr. Peter, is there nothing else?”
The Committee of State Security and diplomat from the Soviet Union obviously didn’t want Peter to know about the DNA sequencing results.
Huo Shaoheng had no intention of staying. He gestured for Gu Nianzhi to make a phone call and smiled. “Then I’ll be leaving first. Call me if you need anything.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded and waved goodbye to him with a smile.
She would tell him anyway. It didn’t matter if Huo Shaoheng stayed or not.
Immediately, Gu Nianzhi closed the door after Huo Shaoheng left. She then asked Lu Jin excitedly, “Dad, did you get any results?”
Lu Jin took his laptop and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa. He connected it to the large wall TV and said, “The results have been released. It’s quite interesting.”
As he spoke, he typed out the results of his DNA test on the television screen.
Gu Nianzhi was surprised that he couldn’t understand it at all.
Fortunately, Lu Jin’s explanation was simple and easy to understand.
“Look at Luo Piaopiao’s DNA fragment and then look at this fragment of Wen Shouyi’s…” Lu Jin used a laser pen to highlight the key points on the television screen. “These two unique fragments are exactly the same, and this is the female X chromosome.”
Gu Nianzhi understood and quickly said excitedly, “Does that prove that Luo Piaopiao and Wen Shouyi are really related? And they’re even related from the mother line!”
“But Wen Shouyi is the gardener’s daughter, and her mother’s name is Liang Meili, not Qin…”
“The probability is more than 90%,” Lu Jin answered matter-of-factly.
In science, he was always as careful as possible.
“There’s only a 90% probability?” Gu Nianzhi was a little disappointed. “Does that mean there’s also a 10% probability that the two of them are not related?”
She had thought that the two of them were definitely related.
As Lu Jin nodded, he said seriously, “All this time, we’ve only been able to use DNA to test for direct kins.h.i.+p. This area has already developed to a very mature level. For non-direct kins.h.i.+p, take Luo Piaopiao and Wen Shouyi for example. Let’s a.s.sume that they are indeed related, but they are at most cousins. It’s actually very difficult to identify these two types of kins.h.i.+p.”
“I’ve already used my own improved experimental method to test for non-direct kins.h.i.+p. The current accuracy rate can only be said to be more than 90%, but it’s less than 99.99%.”
Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists and encouraged herself, “Okay, the 90% probability is high enough.”
“I’ll just treat them as relatives. Can we say that Wen Shouyi’s mother, Liang Meili, is actually a member of the Qin Family?” Gu Nianzhi asked tentatively.
Lu Jin thought about it carefully. After a while, he said, “Let’s Test Wen Shouyi’s immediate family relations. It’s more accurate this way.”
“Okay.” Gu Nianzhi agreed without hesitation.
If Lu Jin had suggested this before today, she might have hesitated.
The grudge between her and Wen Shouyi had little to do with Wen Shouyi’s parents.
Furthermore, Wen Shouyi’s parents were suspected of kidnapping the twelve-year-old Gu Nianzhi. They were already in custody for interrogation, so there was no need for her to step on them again.
However, what Wen Shouyi had done today was too disgusting. Furthermore, she was clearly targeting Gu Nianzhi, so Gu Nianzhi did not want to continue tolerating her. She still had to investigate what needed to be investigated.
“I’ll think of a way to get the DNA samples of Wen Dayou and Liang Meili.”
Today was the 15th day of the first lunar month. Relatives and friends could visit their relatives in prison.
Immediately, Gu Nianzhi called the place where Wen Dayou and Liang Meili were being held and asked if she could see Wen Dayou and Liang Meili.
In the end, the other party said that Gu Nianzhi wasn’t on their visiting list and that they couldn’t meet her today.
However, they would be able to meet her after the 15th of the first lunar month.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to delay any longer.
She thought about it in her room for a while, but still dialed He Zhichu’s number.
He Zhichu had already handed over his s.h.i.+ft and wasn’t on duty in the military camp.
He sat in front of the bar counter in a small hall of the Xiang Xue Hai clubhouse. There was a gla.s.s of red wine in his hand, and he listened to Xie Qingying’s words with an indifferent expression.
Xie Qingying noticed that he was not in a good mood and advised him with a heartache, “Young Master He, why don’t you go back and rest? You haven’t had a good new year either. You’ve lost weight.”
Just then, He Zhichu looked up at her and smiled.”… You Don’t want me to accompany you anymore?”
“Oh, I’d love you to accompany me.” Xie Qingying’s cheeks were slightly red. “But your health is more important. I see that you’re quite tired, so I’d better go back and sleep.”
He Zhichu took a sip of red wine. He wanted to say something, but felt his phone vibrate. He took it out and glanced at it.
It was Gu Nianzhi’s phone.
He Zhichu instinctively slid the phone open to answer. “Nianzhi?”
Gu Nianzhi asked him anxiously, “Young Master He, are you still on duty?”
Just then, He Zhichu’s voice softened. “No, I’m fine. Don’t worry, we can talk slowly.”
“Okay.” Gu Nianzhi composed herself. “Here’s the thing. Can you help me think of a way to get the hair or blood of Wen Dayou and Liang Meili? I want to test their DNA.”
“Okay.” He Zhichu didn’t ask why and agreed immediately. “Wait here, I’ll send someone to get it right away and send it to you.”
“That’s great! Thank you, Young Master He!” Gu Nianzhi was ecstatic as she hugged her phone and spun around.
He Zhichu was in a better mood. He opened his contact list and found one of his most trusted personal secretaries. He sent him a text message asking him to immediately get the hair or blood of Wen Dayou and Liang Meili and send it to him immediately.
He Zhichu’s personal secretary received the text message and also acted quickly. He went to the detention center where Wen Dayou and Liang Meili were temporarily detained.
There was naturally no obstruction for him to go to the detention center.
Moreover, he was not going to see the two people, for he was on official business.
He followed the two medical personnel wearing masks and white coats to Wen Dayou and Liang Meili’s rooms.
…
Five minutes later, they came out.
He Zhichu’s personal secretary put two small test tubes containing hair, small plastic bags, and two tubes of blood into his briefcase and drove away.
Half an hour later, he arrived at Xiang Xue Club and saw he zhichu.
After He Zhichu took the samples from the personal secretary, he praised him with a smile. “Not bad. I’ll give you a credit later.”
His personal secretary quickly stood up and saluted. “Thank you, Chief!”
He Zhichu took the samples and personally delivered them to Gu Nianzhi.
Xie Qingying did not follow him. She sat alone in the small hall of the Xiangxuehai clubhouse and looked at he zhichu’s back and sighed softly.
Only then did her best friend dare to come over and talk to her.
She was quite afraid of He Zhichu. Besides, she did not want to be a third wheel. Therefore, as long as Xie Qingying was with he zhichu, her best friend would consciously not disturb them.
Now that she saw He Zhichu leave in a hurry, her best friend asked curiously, “Qingying, what happened? Did you have a fight?”
“No. Nianzhi has something on, so young master he went to help.” Xie Qingying smiled bitterly and shook her head. “Young master he is not the type of person to fight with you. When he is unhappy, he will not say a word to you. In fact, I was hoping that he would fight with me…”
That way, she would feel closer to him.
He Zhichu’s occasional absent-mindedness made her heart ache and feel sad at the same time. There was also a hint of nervousness that she did not know how to approach him.
Her best friend was relieved and patted her shoulder with a smile. “This is how it is when you’re in a relations.h.i.+p with your idol. Good luck!”
“You speak as if you’re very experienced.” Xie qingying laughed. “Tell me, which idol have you been in a relations.h.i.+p with?”
“I haven’t, but I have friends…”her best friend teased her with a smile. “Like you, Miss Xie.”
“F*ck! You’re Not Serious.” Xie qingying pushed her and poured herself a gla.s.s of red wine.
Her best friend pressed her gla.s.s down and sighed. “You’ve had enough, stop drinking.”
“It’s okay, let me drink a little more.” Xie Qingying pulled her best friend’s hand away and downed the gla.s.s in one gulp.
Her best friend looked at her worriedly, she whispered, “I can finally see it now. Each time it has something to do with that Gu Nianzhi, young master he is always acting weird. And she’s your cousin. What is she trying to do? Didn’t they break up? The engagement has already been broken off, yet she still treats herself like an outsider. Is she deliberately keeping him hanging?”
Glancing at her, Xie Qingying lowered her eyes. “I don’t have much of a relations.h.i.+p with her. We haven’t seen each other for so many years, so I’m not as close to her as I am to you. She probably treats me the same way.”
“Then why did you watch her call young master he away with just a phone call?” Her best friend was indignant for her.
“Maybe she has something important to do.” Xie Qingying poured herself another gla.s.s of red wine. The faint disappointment in her heart was eating away at her heart, and it hurt a little.
“If it’s something important, why didn’t I bring you along? You’re so capable and have a wide network. Maybe you can help her…” her best friend was very confused.
“It’s okay. I’ll keep her at arm’s length from now on anyway.”Xie qingying took a sip of her wine. “I can’t help it. Let’s just treat her like a normal friend.”
…
He Zhichu drove to the entrance of Gu Nianzhi’s apartment block. It was an hour and a half drive, and it only took him 45 minutes to get there.
Gu Nianzhi’s phone rang. Seeing that it was He Zhichu, she quickly answered the call. “Young master he?!”
“I’ve brought the things. Are you coming out to get them, or do you want me to bring them in for you?”
“So soon? ! Young Master He, you’re the best!” Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help laughing. “Where are you? At the entrance of the community? Should I ask the guard to let you in?”
After considering for a moment, she changed her mind. “Forget it, I’ll go get them myself.”
He Zhichu didn’t say anything. He got out of the car and leaned against the door to wait for her.
Not long after, he saw a tall and slender young girl flying out of the entrance of the residential area like a little bird.
She was running in a hurry. Her coat was not b.u.t.toned up. It was fluttering in the wind, and her forehead was wet with sweat. However, her big, bright Eyes were very bright. It was as if the winter sun was s.h.i.+ning in her eyes. It was the only warmth in winter.
He Zhichu’s heart was soft, but he did not do anything. He took out the two small plastic bags of hair and two tubes of blood from his pocket, “These are the hair and blood of Wen Dayou and Liang Meili. They were just taken. My personal secretary watched them take them out with her own eyes.”
“Thank you, Young Master He!” Gu Nianzhi took the samples and was overjoyed. “Today is the lantern festival, so I won’t hold up young master he’s invitation to meet at dusk.”
Gu Nianzhi winked at He Zhichu. “Goodbye, Young Master He.”
As He Zhichu opened the car door with a half-smile, he replied, “You’re burning the bridge after crossing it. Nianzhi. I will never help you next time.”
“Please forgive me.” Gu Nianzhi waved at him. “I’ll definitely come to apologize in two days.”
He Zhichu saw that she had something to do, so he stopped pestering her. He got into the car and waved. “You can go back. I’ll watch you get in before you leave.”
“Alright, Young Master He, you drive carefully.” Gu Nianzhi smiled at him and turned to leave.
He Zhichu sat in the car and watched Gu Nianzhi’s back disappear at the entrance of the residential area before he drove away.
In just a short while, someone in a tall building not far away had taken a long-focal lens and captured the entire scene.
