Hello, Mr. Major General

Gu Nianzhi had heard from Song Jinning about Huo Guanyuan’s will and how he had left all his assets to Huo Shaoheng, so she wasn’t particularly surprised.

She simply marveled over how it was indeed true…

Huo Guanyuan was truly head over heels in love.

It was a pity that he hadn’t used the right method and missed paths with Song Jinning.

Even though Gu Nianzhi already knew, she still feigned astonishment.

The three members of the special forces were even more shocked. They had the feeling that they heard something they shouldn’t have.

But they didn’t dare to immediately rush out. They could only brace themselves and listen on.

Cai Shengnan appeared astonished and awkward. Her eyes kept darting back and forth between Huo Xuenong and Luo Jialan.

If what Luo Jialan said was true, then she really had to re-evaluate Luo Jialan’s financial strength and see if it was worth it to continue being her lawyer.

Fortunately, she had already received an advance payment of six million US dollars, so she wouldn’t lose everything.

Luo Jialan looked at Huo Xuenong’s dejected face and finally felt a little better.

Since you left me in the lurch, then we’ll fight to the death!

Huo Xuenong only felt the stench of blood coming from his throat. He suppressed it again and again before he swallowed his anger.

However, his face was burning. Luo Jialan’s words made him suffer unprecedented humiliation.

With his hands behind his back, Xie Shenxing snorted coldly and walked over to Huo Xuenong’s sickbed, then said condescendingly, “Huo Xuenong, you’re truly impressive! You even dared to hide your own son’s will. You’d rather let your assets fall into the hands of your unrelated granddaughter than give them to Shaoheng. I really regret not forcing my sister to divorce you back then!”

At that time, if Xie Ziyan had divorced Huo Xuenong, Huo Xuenong would have had no future.

Although a military marriage wasn’t easy to divorce, Xie Ziyan had evidence of Huo Xuenong’s infidelity in her hands. This was a matter of ethics.

It would’ve been entirely possible for Huo Xuenong to be expelled from the organization and then expelled from the military.

Even worse, he could have gone to prison.

” … Huo Xuenong, use your conscience and ask yourself, are you worthy of my sister? What did my sister do to you?! She gave birth to your children and helped you build your future. Without our Xie family, how could you have risen up the ranks so quickly?!”

Xie Shenxing had never spoken so harshly in front of others.

Even if the other party had really relied on the Xie family to obtain achievements, the Xie family wouldn’t pompously take the credit.

They refrained from being too ruthless because they might need them in the future.

They are capable and what’s even more, they are high-minded as well.

However, Huo Xuenong had gone too far.

Xie Shenxing didn’t want to save him the humiliation anymore. “Do you really miss that head nurse of yours that much?! Other than doing something within the scope of her duties, what else did she do to make you miss her so much?!”

Huo Xuenong was so embarrassed that he flew into a rage. He roared, “Who misses her?! My biggest regret is getting involved with her!”

Not only had he lost his status and military priviledge, but he was also relentlessly ridiculed by his relatives and friends. He couldn’t raise his head high anywhere.

The person he hated the most inside, besides Gu Nianzhi, was Zhang Feng.

Gu Nianzhi exposed the truth that he had spent 17 years trying to cover up, and had almost cut off all his options.

“You’re regretting it?! If you’re regretting it why are you finding a way to give my sister’s inheritance to you and Zhang Feng’s grandson?!” Xie Shenxing couldn’t wait to slap him again. “Hurry up and hand over Guan Yuan’s will! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being uncourteous!”

“Zhang Feng is Zhang Feng, and Baochen is Baochen! Don’t mix them up!” Huo Xuenong didn’t care anymore. They had already fallen out, so why should he care?

” … Who is Baochen? Do you have another mistress?!” Xie Shenxing was shocked. “Huo Xuenong, do you know how old you are?!”

Gu Nianzhi smiled bitterly and quickly said, “Zhang Baochen is the illegitimate son of Zhang Feng and Grandfather Huo. Zhang Wenjie is Zhang Baochen’s son, and the grandson of Zhang Feng and Grandfather Huo.”

“Haha, you’re really worried about your illegitimate son.” The corners of Xie Shenxing’s eyes twitched. “What’s wrong with Guanyuan and Guanchen? Why won’t you treat them like human beings? Do you have to humiliate them like this? And even humiliate your dead wife?!”

Huo Xuenong straightened his neck, then said angrily, “Why don’t I treat my sons like human beings?! Guanyuan and Guanchen had both risen to high positions in the military at a young age, not to mention Shaoheng. He had been supported by his grandmother since he was young, and had the status and influence of his father and I in the military, so he was promoted to Major General at a younger age than his uncle, yet you’re still not satisfied?

“But what about Baochen? He didn’t have a father since he was young. You don’t know how he survived! When he came back to me, I couldn’t help him on the surface. I only wanted to give him some money so that he could live a better life. Why can’t you understand? You have a son too, we are all human, so how can I be biased? ! ”

Listening on the side, Gu Nianzhi felt extremely upset inside.

She didn’t know much about Huo Guanyuan and Huo Guanchen, but she knew Huo Shaoheng very well.

Grandfather Huo actually said that Major General Huo was promoted to the rank of Major General because of him?!

He really didn’t know his place. He should be afraid of losing his tongue for saying that.

Gu Nianzhi said coldly, “Grandfather Huo, please don’t talk nonsense. Major General Huo’s rank of Major General was earned of his own accord. What does that have to do with you? He’s been out for so many years, and you don’t even know what he does. How dare you say that it’s because of your status and influence in the military?”

She spread out her hands. “You’re Major General Huo’s negative asset. It’s already fortunate enough that you didn’t hold him back. How can it be because of your influence? ——If he really relied on your influence, he would have been kicked out.”

Would having a grandfather who was stripped of his military rank and forced to retire make Major General Huo look good?

When written in his personal resume, these were all things that would get points deducted for him!

Xie Shenxing nodded repeatedly, “Well said! Huo Xuenong, you’re too big for your britches! If you have the ability, you can rely on your own ability to support your illegitimate child and illegitimate child’s little bastard! Why do you need to go through so much trouble to seize your son’s inheritance? Besides, your eldest son’s inheritance is actually my sister’s inheritance. It’s our Xie family’s assets. So what right do you have to conspire for it?!”

“How did I conspire for it? It’s already my son’s inheritance. I’m also part of it.” Huo Xuenong said with self-assurance, “Would Shaoheng still care about this little bit of money? 80% of his grandmother’s trust fund was left to him. Guanyuan’s share was only 10% . How could he be interested in it? —— They’re all blood-related, so how could he let his uncle and cousins live in poverty!”

“Huo Xuenong, if you say that then you’re very shameless.” Xie Shenxing had the urge to spat on Huo Xuenong’s livid face, “Whether Shaoheng has money or not is his own business. What does it have to do with Zhang Baochen and Zhang Wenjie? If they don’t have money, then blame them for not having a rich grandmother. Whose fault is it besides Zhang Feng’s for being so poor?!”

The more Xie Shenxing said this, the more Huo Xuenong pitied Zhang Baochen and his family.

They were his flesh and blood, but their statuses were vastly different. How could he bear that?

He gritted his teeth and refused to take out Huo Guanyuan’s will. He even said, “Don’t be deceived by this woman. Guanyuan’s will is long gone. Back then, I was too distraught and didn’t know where I put it.”

“Do you think we’ll believe you?” Xie Shenxing pressured him. “We can sue you in court! ”

“Go ahead and sue me! ” Huo Xuenong sneered. “If you sue me, I’ll jump off the 20th floor!”

Xie Shenxing was shocked by Huo Xuenong’s shameless and reckless attitude, but he quickly came back to his senses. He sneered and said, “in that case, we have nothing to talk about. From now on, I have nothing to do with you, Huo Xuenong, and don’t address me as a relative. I only recognize Shaoheng and Nianzhi. If Guanchen recognizes me as his uncle, I won’t make things difficult for him. As for you, I’m sorry. From now on, we’re strangers. Don’t tell anyone that you know me, let alone that I’m your in-law!”

Huo Xuenong was also shocked by Xie Shenxing’s harsh words.

He just said that to scare them and not force him to take out Huo Guanyuan’s will.

In the end, Xie Shenxing directly broke off relations with him. He had even wanted Zhang Baochen’s family to get close to the Xie family…

Xie Ziyan had passed away so many years ago. Why couldn’t they treat Zhang Baochen’s family well on his account?

In the past, if Xie Ziyan had been the official wife, Zhang Baochen would have addressed her as “mother.” The Xie family was also Baochen’s relatives.

Huo Xuenong’s eyes gleamed. He wanted to admit defeat, but there were so many outsiders in the ward that he couldn’t bring himself to do so.

Gu Nianzhi was quick to see what was going on. She noticed that Huo Xuenong was showing signs of softening, so she quickly said, “Grandfather Huo, Grandfather Xie actually just wants to see Uncle Huo’s will. If you don’t remember where it is, can I help you look for it? Or can I ask Major General Huo to send someone to look for it for you? I know that the special operations forces have specialized experts who specialize in searching for lost items.”

“Grandfather Huo, so you don’t have the will? Then why did you lie to me and say that you did? You even said that my father’s trust fund wasn’t left to me, but to Major General Huo?” Luo Jialan mocked Huo Xuenong, “I think you should think about it. Did you see Aiko Yamaguchi in France? That way, you’ll get more benefits.”

She was hinting to Huo Xuenong that as long as he testified that Aiko Yamaguchi had indeed come into contact with her at that time, she would give half of the trust fund to Zhang Wenjie.

Huo Xuenong regretted it at that moment. He should have nonchalantly said that he had seen her once but they didn’t say anything to each other and that he wasn’t familiar with her…

He shouldn’t have denied it and forced Luo Jialan to drag him down with her.

Of course, Gu Nianzhi was still the most despicable person.

He knew that she was trying to sow discord between them. Everythinng she said just now had ulterior motives. He was no fool!

Huo Xuenong looked at Gu Nianzhi coldly and said, “You’re Shaoheng’s fiancée. Since Shaoheng is involved in this matter, you should avoid suspicion and not get involved in this case.”

Gu Nianzhi was stunned.

Old master Huo still had some tricks up his sleeve…

Cai Shengnan was also stunned for a moment before her face lit up with joy. She added, “Old master Huo is right. Since Major General Huo is involved in the inheritance, lawyer Gu really shouldn’t get involved in this case. You can’t be the defense lawyer for this case anymore.”

The only way to get Gu Nianzhi out was to force her out. Whether it was Luo Jialan’s intentional murder case against Song Jinning or the “money laundering” case in the Swiss court, or even the inheritance case that was just beginning to appear, Cai Shengnan grew confident in her victory.

Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and giggled. “Why shouldn’t I get involved in this case? Lawyer Cai, have you seen Mr. Huo Guanyuan’s will?”

Cai Shengnan smiled and shook her head. “Of course I haven’t seen it, but my client said… ”

“I’m sorry, your client’s words are neither legally binding nor law, so her words have no effect.” Gu Nianzhi shook her fingers, then turned to Huo Xuenong. “Grandfather Huo, you keep saying that Major General Huo is involved in this matter, so I shouldn’t get involved in this case. So you admit that Mr. Huo Guanyuan has a will and that his trust fund belongs to Major General Huo?”

“Of course not!” Huo Xuenong immediately denied it. “He has a will, but it doesn’t mention any distribution of property, so his trust fund can only be inherited by Jialan and me.”

“That’s right.” Gu Nianzhi clasped her palms. “What does this have to do with Major General Huo? If it doesn’t involve Major General Huo, then it has nothing to do with me. If that’s the case, then why shouldn’t I get involved in this case? Why should I withdraw from these lawsuits?”

Cai Shengnan and Huo Xuenong were both stunned.

They and Luo Jialan looked at each other.

They hadn’t expected Gu Nianzhi to create another dilemma for them in the blink of an eye!

If they wanted Gu Nianzhi to withdraw from these lawsuits, then they would have to produce Huo Guanyuan’s will!

Huo Xuenong wouldn’t give them the will, so they had no legitimate reason for Gu Nianzhi to withdraw!

If Gu Nianzhi didn’t withdraw, how could they fight this lawsuit?!
