Hello, Mr. Major General
chapter-1294

Chapter 1294: Disassociate

“The presiding judge suddenly died?!” Gu Nianzhi’s heart sank. “Isn’t the ‘Angel in the world’ Foundation a little too powerful?”

“You should be mentally prepared.” He Zhichu sat down, and his expression was cold and emotionless. “Don’t forget what kind of research they did.”

This kind of research had been supported by the imperial government and the military decades ago.

Gu Nianzhi frowned. “But we’re using lawyers from a big American law firm. Would they dare contradict America?”

“If it’s important, they can say no to anyone.” He Zhichu tapped his finger on the dining table. “Okay, don’t think too much about it. All they can do is delay it for a little longer.”

“Then why are they stalling for time? Are they trying to move their assets?” Gu Nianzhi’s expression was cold and murderous.

He Zhichu was amused by her adorable expression. He smiled slightly and pushed the imperial official Yan in front of Gu Nianzhi, “Don’t worry, it won’t be that easy to move them. I’m inclined to think that they still want to struggle on their deathbed. As for moving their assets, they’ll go to you no matter where they move them.”

Gu Nianzhi thought about it. Modern society was highly networked, and it was actually easier to track down the flow of money than in the cash society of the past, so she was no longer worried.

The two of them had lunch there, but when they went out, they unexpectedly bumped into Luo Jialan and Cai Shengnan in the parking lot.

The two of them were walking towards their car.

They caught a glimpse of He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi walking over, and smiling as they watched them approach, they stopped in their tracks.

Gu Nianzhi had wanted to pretend she didn’t know them, but they didn’t want to do so.

“Lawyer He, Miss Gu, I didn’t expect to see you guys again.” Luo Jialan greeted them with a beaming smile. “Miss Gu, your market is really good. First you have our Shaoheng backing you up, and now you have lawyer He protecting you. You have such romantic luck!”

Gu Nianzhi almost vomited when Luo Jialan said “our Shaoheng”, but at that moment, she also understood that her outburst would only satisfy Luo Jialan’s perverted mind.

So not responding to a single word, she walked past them without an expression.

She had already said what she needed to say at the restaurant. If she continued, Luo Jialan would really have to pay for her consultation fee.

He Zhichu looked at Luo Jialan coldly. His eyes were cold and without any warmth at all.

Luo Jialan caught a glimpse of He Zhichu’s expression from the corner of her eye. She felt chilled inside. She reflexively took a step back but played tough by saying, “But don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone, especially Shaoheng. I won’t say a word… ”

He Zhichu stood in front of her and looked at her carefully. He said coldly, ” … It’s better to have romantic luck than to have no man at all.”

Luo Jialan’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly came to her senses. She smiled and said, “So lawyer He is admitting that you have feelings for Gu Nianzhi? Tsk Tsk, that’s not good. You’re engaged to someone, yet you’re still hanging out with another man…”

“Luo Jialan, right? You probably lived 200 years ago, when women would have to wear a scarlet letter just for having a meal with a man outside.” He Zhichu said nonchalantly, then took out a recording pen from his pocket. “I’ve already recorded what you said just now. It’s up to you whether you want to give it to the court as evidence, or give it to Huo Shaoheng as evidence of your unwillingness to give up on Huo Shaoheng.”

What kind of person would allow someone to record a simple sentence?!

Luo Jialan was so scared that her face turned pale. She clenched her fists tightly and said in a trembling voice, “When… when did I refuse to give up on Major General Huo? Oh no, when did I have feelings for Major General Huo? Don’t slander me and ruin my reputation!”

“You didn’t? Why did you keep saying ‘our Shaoheng’? What relationship does Huo Shaoheng have with you to make you address him so intimately?” He Zhichu continued to hold the recording pen as he recorded.

Cai Shengnan’s eyes flashed. She had wanted to say something, but she didn’t say anything at that moment.

“I… I… I’m related to him. I’m his cousin. Why can’t I use this nickname? ” Luo Jialan was so embarrassed that she became angry. She was still struggling to survive.

“Cousin? What’s your surname?” His eyes full of disdain, He Zhichu looked Luo Jialan up and down. “You gave up everything in the Huo family. It’s too late to regret it now.”

“I didn’t! ” Luo Jialan was trembling all over.

Did she do this on her own accord?!

If she couldn’t marry Huo Shaoheng, she would have to face the fate of being sued!

Gu Nianzhi was now eyeing her like a tiger eyeing its prey.

But if her surname was still Huo, and she was still registered in the Huo family register, how could she marry Huo Shaoheng?!

Therefore, she was determined to change her surname and move out of the Huo family register. All she had to do was wait for grandfather Huo to give the order and she would be registered as married to Huo Shaoheng..

It was all her fault! It was all because of this orphan girl who came out of nowhere and ruined her big plans!

He Zhichu scoffed and said, “You didn’t give up on everything in the Huo family? Or do you not regret giving up on everything in the Huo family?”

“I… ” Luo Jialan was stifled. She realized that no matter what she said, she seemed to have fallen into He Zhichu’s trap.

However, He Zhichu had no intention of letting her off the hook. “Tell me, you didn’t give up on everything in the Huo family? Then is it fake that you changed your surname and moved out of the Huo family?”

Gu Nianzhi was surprised. “It was all fake? Oh, if you didn’t change your surname and move out of the Huo family, then what are you talking about getting married for? Do you think the military’s political review is a joke, and they wouldn’t find out that you were faking it?!”

“I wasn’t faking it!” Luo Jialan was finally forced into a corner by He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi, and had no choice but to clear her name. “What I’m saying is that I don’t regret giving up everything about the Huo family! I have nothing to do with the Huo family! ”

“Good, then I hope you’ll keep your word and return what belongs to the Huo family to the Huo family.” He Zhichu put away the recording pen and got into the military jeep with Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi smiled as she drove the military jeep out of the garage of Lu Huitou’s restaurant. She said, “Professor He was so impressive just now! I didn’t expect you to use the recording pen! ”

He Zhichu’s eyes sparkled. “I sent this recording to Major General Huo.”

Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”

..

In the office building of the Special Operations forces, Huo Shaoheng had held a meeting for two days. He had finally settled everything for his trip to Russia.

Huo Shaoheng had a blank expression when he received he Zhichu’s text message and heard the recording. However, the pen in his hand was snapped in half.

He raised his hand and threw the broken pen into the trash can in the corner. Huo Shaoheng dialed Gu Nianzhi’s number.

“Major General Huo, is that you? Are you done?” Gu Nianzhi’s pleasantly surprised voice came through the bluetooth headset.

Huo Shaoheng replied with an “Uh huh. Where are you? I’ll pick you up.”

“No need, I’ll drive back soon.” Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. “I’ll take Professor He home first.”

Gu Nianzhi was about to tell him about how He Zhichu had made egg fried rice and had to redecorate the kitchen, but He Zhichu looked uncomfortable, so she refrained from doing so.

Huo Shaoheng nodded. “I’ll wait for you then.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and said gently, “Okay”.

She drove He Zhichu all the way back to his villa on the hillside. Gu Nianzhi didN’t get out of the car and said to He Zhichu, “Professor He, I’ll take you here. Wait for me to go back and sort out the information, and then I’ll send you the first version of the indictment, alright?”

He Zhichu replied with an “Uh huh. ” He took out a key card and a set of keys from his pocket then stuffed them into Gu Nianzhi’s hands. He said uncomfortably, “This is also your home. Come visit often when you’re free.”

Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”

She smiled sheepishly and declined, “No need, Professor He, but I’ll definitely visit you often in the future.”

“Be good and take this.” He Zhichu insisted, “This is part of the dowry I prepared for you. You can get married from here when you have a wedding.” With that, he pushed open the car door and quickly entered the house.
