Chapter 1840 It Would Be Nice if You Could Pretend You Didn’t See It

"...No..." Xie Qingying laughed awkwardly.

Although the two people in front denied it, it was still particularly glaring to see the two of them speaking in unison.

Gu Nianzhi took advantage of He Zhichu's opportunity to turn his head to look at Xie Qingying, hurriedly pushed him away, and said with a smile: "Young Master He, Cousin Xie is here, why don't you entertain Cousin Xie first. I'm very tired today, I'm going back to rest. Let's talk about what you said just now, shall we?"

He Zhichu grabbed her arm again without looking at her, stared at Xie Qingying and said, "Qingying, I have something to do today, so I can't accompany you for dinner."

Gu Nianzhi: "..."

Xie Qingying's gaze stayed on Gu Nianzhi's arm for a moment, with a decent smile on her face, she stroked her hair with her hands, and said charmingly: "Well, anyway, we have dinner together every day, and we don't spend one day together. There is nothing to eat."

As she said that, she opened the car door, and when she was about to sit back, she raised her head and said with a smile: "However, Young Master He, if something happens in the future, can you notify me earlier? I pushed several times to have dinner with you. An invitation from relatives and friends."

Her voice was clear and smooth, she was a little coquettish when she said this, she turned her face slightly, her tall and delicate nose was exactly the same as Gu Nianzhi's, it was the nose of the Gu family.

He Zhichu's heart softened.

When he heard the news of Gu Nianzhi's flight back home today, he couldn't think of anything else. Of course, he couldn't have called to cancel the dinner appointment with Xie Qingying.

It is true that he broke his promise first, I'm sorry Xie Qingying.

He Zhichu nodded slightly, "I see, I will let you know in advance next time."

Xie Qingying was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face could hardly be maintained anymore, she hurriedly got into her car, and said to the driver: "Drive."

Her car was a custom-made sky-blue Chevrolet bulletproof sedan. The body was tall, spacious, and had the thickness and thickness unique to American cars.

Compared with her exquisite dress and appearance, there is a strange contrast and cuteness, making her more slender and exquisite, and this car is also inadvertently more stylish.

It is a rare car beauty that complements each other.

Gu Nianzhi watched the car go away, and clicked his tongue, "Young Master He, you are too careless in your words, cousin Xie is upset..."

He Zhichu glanced at her and frowned, "Why are you upset? Isn't she very happy?" He said, holding Gu Nianzhi's arm and walking towards the door.

Gu Nianzhi was dragged by him to walk a few steps quickly, and followed his pace, deliberately looking for something to talk about, so as to ease the tension between the two.

"...How can you be happy? People say they want you to notify me earlier, but they are actually complaining coquettishly... What they really mean is to tell you not to do this, but you can say 'I will notify you in advance next time', as if in the future There are many other things like this, how could Cousin Xie be happy?"

He Zhichu: "..."

"It's really troublesome." He murmured, "Is it necessary to think so much?"

He looked back at Gu Nianzhi, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

Gu Nianzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled at him, "Young Master He, you often have dinner together recently? It seems that things are going well..."

He Zhichu frowned even tighter, walked silently for a while, came to the gate, pushed it open, and dragged her all the way to the stairs.

After going up to the second floor, he brought her into Gu Nianzhi's suite in He Zhai.

The furnishings here are exactly the same as when she left last time.

He Zhichu pulled her in, pushed her onto the single sofa closest to the door, then leaned forward, leaning on the armrests of the single sofa with both arms, wrapped her in the sofa, and stared at her closely. Looking into her eyes, he bowed and asked in a hoarse voice: "...What the hell is going on?! That photo... Also, why did you go to New York suddenly? Is Luo Le looking for you? You use Wen Shouyi It's on top, isn't it?"

Gu Nianzhi: "..."

"Young Master He, don't you know everything?" Gu Nianzhi could see that He Zhichu was emotionally unstable.

He could only hold back his nerves, and said as calmly as possible: "Wen Shouyi was originally not allowed to go abroad. After Mr. Peter contacted you, you instructed the relevant department to return her passport and let her go abroad."

He Zhichu closed his eyes and nodded, "Yes, Peter said at the time, this is the only way to confuse the scientists at Loller's side, otherwise they will bite you tightly."

The only thing that can make He Zhichu let go is Gu Nianzhi's safety.

Gu Nianzhi was very moved, and said softly, "Young Master He, thank you, if it weren't for you, we would really be in trouble this time. ——You saved me!"

He Zhichu was not fooled by her thanks, and said in a fixed voice: "Then tell me, why did you suddenly go to New York? When you went, three people left the country. When you came back, there were four people. ——With you The one who came back together is Mr. Lu's younger brother Lu Jin."

Gu Nianzhi's expression remained unchanged, and he said flatly, "We went to New York to track down the clues from Luo Le."

"... Luo Le is trying everything to find you, and you still throw yourself into a trap?" He Zhichu was unmoved, and moved closer to her, "Do you think I will believe you?"

"There's nothing you can do if you don't believe me." Gu Nianzhi said calmly, "In other words, you only believe what you want to believe, and what you don't want to believe. Even if the facts are in front of you, you still don't see it."

"Hehe..." He Zhichu gave a dry laugh, "It would be great if I could pretend I didn't see it... Unfortunately, I can't."

Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes finally moved, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" He Zhichu straightened up and threw down a photo, "Look for yourself, what do you mean by me?!"

Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on the photo.

It was the photo she found at that person's house in City C before she left the country, the family portrait of Qin Suwen's childhood.

This is also the only photo of Qin Suwen before her disfigurement.

The little girl on it may not be ten years old, but her pair of big, agile and dark eyes are already very eye-catching, and can be clearly seen in some yellowish black and white photos.

The childish innocence is particularly obvious when he smiles, which is exactly the same as Gu Nianzhi's smile when he was a child.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the photo in a daze, and said in a low voice, "...He Shao, who is the person in this photo?"

He Zhichu sneered, "You gave me this photo, you don't know who is in this photo?"

"How would I know?" Gu Nianzhi looked up at He Zhichu, frowned and said, "I have never seen them, nor do I know them."

He Zhichu crossed his arms and walked back and forth in front of Gu Nianzhi, feeling gradually agitated.

"These two older people, I saw their photos when I was young, should be my grandfather and grandmother. But I have never seen their family portraits. The photos I saw were all composed of single-person photos. Because of that At that time, they had passed away for a long time, and my father used many connections, but only found the work photos of these two people at that time."

"So you haven't seen the photo of your mother when she was a child." Gu Nianzhi was thoughtful, "Where is the person who owns this photo? What happened to him? Have you explained it?"

He Zhichu sneered, "If he doesn't confess, his bones will be crushed."

Gu Nianzhi: "..."

"Young Master He, you haven't done anything excessive, have you?" Gu Nianzhi became worried, "He is a citizen of our country after all."

"He has long been gone." He Zhichu waved his hand and said coldly: "After our investigation, we found that he already has a foreign nationality. According to the law of our country, our country does not recognize dual citizenship, so when he obtains a foreign nationality, he Chinese nationality will be automatically lost."

"Is it necessary to give special treatment to a foreigner who commits crimes in our country?" He Zhichu sneered, "Of course it is impossible to enjoy national treatment, and he does not have the right to be protected by our laws."

Gu Nianzhi twitched the corner of his mouth, "So what? You did it?"

"Of course not." He Zhichu sat back on the opposite sofa with a half-smile, "Are we going to torture a foreigner and dirty our hands?"

"Then how did you do it?" Gu Nianzhi was very curious, and deliberately rambling on to ease He Chu's emotions.

He Zhichu curled his lips, "We locked him up with a group of illegal immigrants... Two days later, he couldn't take it anymore, crying and shouting to explain everything."

"...was released so easily?" Gu Nianzhi was dissatisfied again, "I'll keep him locked up for a few more days. Let him reflect on what he did back then."

"Well, so after he explained clearly, I locked him back up again." He Zhichu's voice was cold and reserved, but the meaning in his words made people shudder.

"...So for so many days, he was locked up with those black immigrants?" Gu Nianzhi covered his mouth, "Then is he still alive?"

"Life is better than death." He Zhichu crossed his legs, "It doesn't matter whether those black immigrants are men or women, they will be dealt with if they don't obey. He has been admitted to the hospital several times."

Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows, "And then?"

"Go to the hospital and get cured and then be imprisoned." He Zhichu clenched his fists, "If you knew what he did, you wouldn't sympathize with him."

Gu Nianzhi sighed, rubbed his forehead, and said weakly: "I didn't agree with him. On the contrary, he must have done something ulterior in that incident. - By the way, he said he did what?"

"He said he finally persuaded my grandfather, Mr. Qin Huichang, to agree to sell the land. Because he received money from Qin Baye."

Gu Nianzhi was surprised, "That's it? Do you believe it?"

"...There is no other evidence to prove that he lied." He Zhichu spread his hands, "So I want to ask you, how did you find him? How did you find this photo? Why did he deal with you? ?”

"But you left the country in a hurry, and I couldn't get through to you at all." He Zhichu's mood turned bad again.

God knows what torture he has been through these days.

Gu Nianzhi couldn't get in touch, and that photo reminded him of another terrible fact all the time.

He didn't dare to think about it, so he could only arrange his work to the full every day, so as not to allow himself any free time.

Xie Qingying invited him to dinner, he quickly agreed and returned the invitation immediately.

Seeing that he was interested, Xie Qingying naturally seized the opportunity.

After coming and going, it has become a routine for the two to have dinner together.

Until today, He Zhichu's people at the customs sent him a message saying that Gu Nianzhi's plane had returned home.

He just rushed to the airport to pick her up.

He really had too many questions to wait any longer.

Gu Nianzhi felt uncomfortable hearing He Zhichu's words, lowered his head silently, and said, "It's my fault, I should have made it clearer."

At that time, her heart was full of her father's safety, and she really didn't have the time and energy to explain He Zhichu's doubts.

And she also thought that it would be good for everyone to give He Zhichu a period of time to calm down.

Unexpectedly, He Zhichu hadn't calmed down these few days, but instead made the suspicion fire more and more intense.

He Zhichu heard Gu Nianzhi explain in detail the cause and effect of discovering this photo, he took a deep breath, and said, "...So that's the case. You discovered this person during the reverse investigation of the Qin family's fortune."

"Yes." Gu Nianzhi nodded, "The Qin family's whitewashing is too thorough, and there is no loophole at all, so we can only start from the side that sells the land."

"We researched a lot of information, and finally found that only the Qin family's first bucket of gold was problematic. It doesn't mean that it must have violated the criminal law, but it must be from an unknown source."

"Yes, I remember that my mother also investigated this matter." He Zhichu's emotions finally stabilized slowly, but maybe because Gu Nianzhi sat in front of him, there was a natural force that made him calm and stable.

He Zhichu went on to say: "It turned out that the Qin family's first pot of gold came from the land owned by my grandfather. But the process of buying the land was all legal, and even the transaction price was higher than the market price at that time." High, there is no underpricing, or fraudulent purchases."

"...Yes, it is higher than the market price. But compared with the market price one year later, it is too low." Gu Nianzhi said implicitly, "Has your mother investigated why the Qin family suddenly bought that piece of land? "

"You mean, they might get some insider information?" He Zhichu put his hands on his forehead, thought for a while, and said, "Only the top leaders knew about the establishment of a special zone in City Z. I don't know." I thought that at that time, the Qin family's hands could be stretched so long."

At that time, the Qin family only owned a small orphanage, and it was still in the remote Z city.

Also, City Z at that time was just a small fishing village, not a bustling metropolis.

That is to say, the Qin family didn't have the financial resources and contacts at that time to come into contact with such high-level news.

Gu Nianzhi pondered for a while, and asked tentatively, "Then, has your mother investigated who is behind the Qin family?"

"You mean, there are people behind them?"

"right."

"I have investigated, but there is no one who is familiar with the Qin family at the top level, and no one has any interest in the Qin family. My mother even checked the minutes of the meeting at that time. Every high-level person who participated in the meeting at that time, my mother had done a background check. She found no new doubts."

"So in the end, I just thought it was the Qin family's luck, and the case was dismissed."

Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows, leaned back on the sofa, and said disdainfully, "Do you believe that there will be pies in the sky?"

"Of course not."

"That's right. Why does the Qin family have such good luck? I don't agree." Gu Nianzhi smiled, raised his right index finger and shook it: "I think, I can provide another way of thinking."

"What idea?" He Zhichu leaned forward and asked nervously, "What point did we miss?"

"Have you ever thought that maybe there is no one in China to help the Qin family, but there are people abroad?"

"But the country was not open at that time, even if people from abroad wanted to contact people in China, it was almost impossible..."

He Zhichu said doubtfully, but his heart skipped a beat and he remembered something.
