Hello, Mr. Major General

Luo Jialan was flustered and stammered, “How… How is that possible?! Yamaguchi Yoko died long ago! She died more than a year earlier than Yamaguchi Aiko!”

“Huh? ” Gu Nianzhi hissed. “You actually knew about Yamaguchi Yoko as well? Did Yamaguchi Aiko tell you that the two of them were biological sisters?”

Yamaguchi Aiko herself actually said that when she was hunting Gu Nianzhi in the Caribbean Sea.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t really believe her words, but it was an effective way to trick Luo Jialan.

Luo Jialan hadn’t expected Gu Nianzhi to know about Yamaguchi Aiko and Yamaguchi Aiko’s relationship. She quickly nodded and said, “That’s right. I think you took the wrong photo. This is Yamaguchi Aiko. She said she has a twin sister named Yamaguchi Aiko…”

“That’s right. ” Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms. “Yamaguchi Aiko was after me because she wanted to avenge her sister Yamaguchi Yoko. Did you know that?”

Luo Jialan almost blurted out, “I know.”

When Cai Shengnan heard this, she felt she had no choice but to step in and stop Luo Jialan. “Miss Luo, you didn’t tell me about this.”

She felt annoyed, too.

Luo Jialan and Yamaguchi Aiko’s relationship was definitely more than just close friends borrowing money from each other, but she hadn’t said a word to her.

Now that she had been exposed by someone else, she turned around and blamed her for not fulfilling her duty as a lawyer.

Cai Shengnan cursed Luo Jialan inside as she coughed, then she turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. “That’s enough, lawyer Gu. Your question now has nothing to do with your accusation of ‘money laundering’ against my client. My client has no obligation to answer anything other than your accusation.”

Luo Jialan understood what she meant and immediately shut her mouth without saying anything more.

Gu Nianzhi looked up at Cai Shengnan, then said flatly, “How would this topic have nothing to do with the accusations? Luo Jialan had such close ties with Yamaguchi Aiko. The owner of the bank account they transferred the money to once tried to kill me in Germany, and Yamaguchi Aiko herself tried to kill me in the Caribbean Sea. How can you say that Luo Jialan has nothing to do with these two assasination attempts?”

“How could she have anything to do with them? At most, my client fell in with the wrong crowd. Don’t tell me you want to blame her for what her friend did?” Cai Shengnan sneered. Her self-assured expression made Luo Jialan feel much more at ease.

“Hehe, if she didn’t give Yamaguchi Aiko five million euros for free, I would also believe she fell in with the wrong crowd. But with such a large sum of money involved, you’re telling me she simply fell in with the wrong crowd? “I’m sorry, but there’s a problem with your IQ. You can’t see such a simple logical connection.”

Gu Nianzhi didn’t refrain from mocking Cai Shengnan.

Cai Shengnan wasn’t as easily manipulated by Gu Nianzhi as Luo Jialan was. She simply smiled and said, “Whether there’s a logical connection or not is up to the court to decide. It’s not up to you, lawyer Gu, to decide.”

Gu Nianzhi’s expression changed, then she said seriously, “That’s right. It depends on how the court decides. It depends on whether you’re willing to turn a blind eye and pretend not to see the crime before you, or whether the judge and jury use rational thinking to come to a reasonable conclusion. In reality, Yamaguchi Aiko had tried to kill me twice, and Luo Jialan had given Yamaguchi Aiko money to assist her in her pursuit. It could be said that she was an accomplice in the attempted murders. I’m not only going to sue Luo Jialan for complicity in the murder, but I’m also going to add a punitive civil claim.”

“Luo Jialan, you’re going to lose everything!”

Luo Jialan was so anxious that the veins on her forehead were popping out.

Gu Nianzhi had already accused her of attempted murder of Song Jinning. was she going to sue her for being an accomplice in her own attempted murder?!

When on earth would this end?!

Luo Jialan ignored Cai Shengnan’s glare and immediately said, “I said I lent her the money, and I was defrauded too. I’ve lost so much money, where would get justice? What more do you want?”

Cai Shengnan quickly added, “My client was obviously defrauded. Are you blind?”

“Defrauded? Did you call the police? Did you claim Yamaguchi Aiko’s inheritance?” Gu Nianzhi pressed on, “If you didn’t, how can you tell me you were defrauded?!”

Cai Shengnan laughed coldly. “Isn’t it just calling the police?”

She lowered her head and sent a text to Luo Jialan: [ It’s up to you whether or not to call the police. If you don’t, you’ll be suspected of being involved in money laundering and being an accomplice to attempted murder. If you call the police, these two charges will be cleared up quickly.]

Luo Jialan was confused and sent a text to ask: [ How? Yamaguchi Aiko is dead. What’s the point of calling the police?! Are you out of your mind? ]

Cai Shengnan patiently explained to her: [ Even if Yamaguchi Aiko is dead, her inheritance is still there, so her family should have received her inheritance. We can definitely seek compensation from the family who received Yamaguchi Aiko’s inheritance. ]

This way, Luo Jialan would at least be able to get rid of the two charges.

Luo Jialan struggled for a long time inside. Her face turned red and then white. She gritted her teeth and replied: [ Call the police. I’m not afraid of her. ]

Yamaguchi Aiko was dead anyway. Luo Jialan knew that she didn’t leave any written evidence from Yamaguchi Aiko, so she shouldn’t be afraid that Yamaguchi Aiko’s family would fight back

Besides, it wasn’t even certain whether or not Yamaguchi Aiko had any family…

Luo Jialan remembered that Yamaguchi Aiko vaguely told her that she and her sister Yamaguchi Aiko depended on each other for survival and didn’t have any other family members.

Now that both sisters were dead, Luo Jialan had no idea where their inheritance had gone. She didn’t even know where their home was.

But at this point, she only wanted to get rid of the two felony charges hanging over her head as soon as possible.

“Okay, then call the police.” Cai Shengnan and Luo Jialan had finished discussing via text message. They went up to Gu Nianzhi and said, “We’ve decided to call the police.”

“Okay, then we’ll call the police right away. ” Gu Nianzhi held her cell phone. “Do you want me to call the police?”

Cai Shengnan: ” … ”

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Nianzhi suspiciously. “Are you in such a hurry?”

Gu Nianzhi retracted her hand and smiled. “No, I’m not in a hurry. But if you want to stall time, I don’t have the time to be patient with you. If you don’t call the police now, then I’ll call the police.” As she spoke, Gu Nianzhi made a gesture to call the police in the imperial capital.

“Why are you calling the police?!” Cai Shengnan was even more suspicious. “I’m Miss Luo’s lawyer. You can’t go past us and call the police, can you?”

Gu Nianzhi held the phone to her ear and looked at her with amusement. She said airily, “Who said I’m going to call the police for you? I’m doing it for myself.”

“Yourself? ” Luo Jialan’s heart sank. “What do you mean?”

“What do you mean?” Gu Nianzhi laughed coldly. “Now that I’ve seen the accomplice to the person who was after me, do you think I’ll simply watch you get away? Of course I’m going to call the police.”

“What?!” Cai Shengnan was shocked as well. “You’re really going to call the police and accuse my client of being Yamaguchi Aiko’s accomplice?!”

“Of course. I have no choice but to harbor reasonable suspicion since you guys are defending Yamaguchi Aiko so much.” As she spoke, Gu Nianzhi was already dialing the number.

Luo Jialan panicked and quickly took out her phone to call the police. Without waiting for Gu Nianzhi to speak, she said to the police, “I… I’m calling for the police. I… I was defrauded of money!”

She couldn’t let Gu Nianzhi call the police and accuse her of being an accomplice to a murderer. She had to call the police first.

The police officer on the other side seemed shocked as well. After a while, he asked, “May I ask where you’re from? Where did you get defrauded of money? How much did you get defrauded of? Was it a phone scam or an Internet scam?”

Luo Jialan came back to her senses and said nervously, ” … I was defrauded of five million euros in Europe.”

The policeman on the other side: ” … ”

“How much did you get defrauded of?!”

” … five million euros. I have a bank transfer to prove this amount of money.”

Luo Jialan calmed down and thought to herself, isn’t it just a call to the police? Who couldn’t do it!

“Then who defrauded you of your money? Are you a Huaxia Empire citizen?” The policeman obviously felt that this case wasn’t under their jurisdiction, so he asked in detail.

Luo Jialan shook her head. “I think she’s a Japanese citizen. Her name is Aiko Yamaguchi.”

While the policeman was typing in the data, he conveniently looked up the name “Aiko Yamaguchi” in the database.

This was their working procedure. Every time, they would search the suspect database to see if there were any new findings.

In the end, this search yielded an unexpected result.

He took a look at the information that was retrieved, and there was even a note in the information that said: this is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Special Operations forces. He immediately became wary and said to Luo Jialan pleasantly, “This case involves a huge amount of money. Can you tell me more about it?”

Luo Jialan glanced at Cai Shengnan.

Cai Shengnan and Luo Jialan leaned in front of their phones to listen. Then, they nodded and said to the police officer, “I’m Miss Luo’s lawyer. Here’s the thing…”

In Huo Xuenong’s high-end ward, only the sound of Cai Shengnan and Luo Jialan speaking to the police could be heard.

Gu Nianzhi looked down at her phone. Huo Shaoheng had sent her a text message asking her to stall for as much time as possible.

She had turned on facetime with Huo Shaoheng on her phone. Her phone had been muted, and Huo Shaoheng’s voice couldn’t be heard. However, the images and sounds could be seen and heard by Huo Shaoheng through facetime.

Therefore, even though Huo Shaoheng wasn’t present, he knew everything about the situation in the ward like the back of his hand.

Huo Xuenong, who was lying on the hospital bed, watched the development of the situation with his mouth agape. He had a vague feeling that the situation was out of his control.

Xie Shenxing, on the other hand, had his hands behind his back the entire time. He smiled as he watched Gu Nianzhi press on and trap Luo Jialan.

He and his two staff members were just as impressed and felt as if they were watching a staged play.

On the other end of the line, the police officer had already contacted the special operations forces and reported new clues related to Aiko Yamaguchi to them.

…

In the corridor outside the ward, Huo Shaoheng slowly walked out of the dark corridor. He ordered through his bluetooth headset, “All operations teams, prepare. New clues have appeared. Immediately apply for legal procedures and take the suspect from the police station at the Imperial Military General Hospital.”

He stood in front of Huo Xuenong’s ward and lit a cigarette. In the corridor, he stood in front of the window silently and started smoking.

The window was slightly ajar, and the evening breeze blew in with the faint scent of flowers.

In the ward, to buy as much time as possible for him, Gu Nianzhi was still arguing with Luo Jialan and Cai Shengnan about who should call the police.

It didn’t take long for the Special Operations Forces’ team to arrive in front of Huo Xuenong’s high-end ward.

Huo Shaoheng nodded at them. “Did you guys get the warrant, arrest warrant, and search warrant?”

“Yes.” The team leader in the lead showed him three documents.

The warrant had been obtained from the police station where Luo Jialan had reported the case, and the arrest warrant and search warrant had been obtained from the court.

Huo Shaoheng still didn’t go in. He said to the team leader, “Take two people in first. Don’t be in a hurry to arrest them. Just show them your documents.”

He wanted these people to be a psychological deterrent to Luo Jialan.

As Huo Shaoheng spoke, he sent a text message to Gu Nianzhi’s phone: Calm Luo Jialan down and ask for the contents of the will.
