Novel Bin Chapter 1612 - Consistency
Chapter 1612: Consistency
“You insist on going to court?” He Zhichu took his hands out of the pockets of his military pants and put them behind his back. He said indifferently, “Alright, I’ll hand you over to the court martial. Your wish to go to court will be fulfilled very soon.”
Qin Yaoguang was stunned for a moment and quickly asked, “What about Nianzhi? When will you arrange for her to meet me?”
“She will see you when you go to court.” He Zhichu waved his hand and said to Old Master Qin and Wen Shouyi, “That’s enough. It’s time for your visit. Please go back. I want to send Dean Qin to court.”
Qin Yaoguang finally realized that she had been played by He Zhichu. She questioned him angrily, “What right do you have to stop us from meeting? ! He Zhichu, don’t forget that you’re no longer Nianzhi’s fiancé!”
“You’re a suspect now, so of course I have the right to decide who you see and who you don’t see.” He Zhichu couldn’t even be bothered to look at her. “If you’re legally illiterate, then don’t talk to me about law. When I was teaching law at university, your lawyer was just my assistant.”
Wen Shouyi’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably. She quickly winked at Qin Yaoguang and said, “Auntie Qin, if you have anything to say, it’s the same in court.”
Qin Yaoguang closed her eyes and sat back down dejectedly. Tilting her head, she said stubbornly, “Then Young Master He, please tell Nianzhi that I’ve already apologized to her and asked her not to hold any prejudice against me. No matter what, I’m her only family in this world. Everything I do is for her own good...”
“For example, forcing her to undergo a memory removal surgery? Or... wanting her ‘body’ to be used as an experiment?” He Zhichu refuted Qin Yaoguang bluntly, “If this is treating her well, I think it’s still better for you to say that you don’t treat her as your own daughter like you used to. At least you’re consistent on the surface, and your words and actions are consistent.”
“Now that you’re forcing yourself to say things that go against your heart, I feel bad for you.”
The pretense of thee mother-daughter love that Qin Yaoguang had been brewing was shattered by He Zhichu’s words.
She was angry, anxious, embarrassed, and irritated. Her emotions changed drastically, and it even affected the changes in her pituitary gland.
The biochip that she had transplanted into her brain to resist hypnosis was also strongly stimulated, giving her a severe headache.
Qin Yaoguang’s expression immediately turned ugly. She covered her chest and tried to hold it in, but in the end, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Old Master Qin watched this scene with his mouth agape. He leaned over with his cane in horror and asked worriedly, “Yaoguang, are you okay? Why did you spit out blood? !”
He straightened his back and looked at He Zhichu with a wry smile. He said, “As expected of the great Lawyer Qin’s biological son. She once made the defendant cry and confess in court. Your words made my daughter spit out blood. This is really even more impressive.”
He Zhichu’s lips curled into a devilish smile. “Is that so? Then Dean Qin, you have to be mentally prepared, because in court, you will have to face the great lawyer Nianzhi.”
“Her eloquence is better than mine. When the time comes, Dean Qin will not be so simple as spitting out blood in anger. It is possible that she will die of anger in court.”
Wen Shouyi saw that He Zhichu was praising Gu Nianzhi in front of Old Master Qin and Qin Yaoguang without restraint. She felt very upset and her eyes darkened even more.
She lowered her head and walked over to pass a tissue to Qin Yaoguang. She said, “Auntie Qin, do you want to see a doctor?”
Qin Yaoguang took the tissue and wiped her mouth. She shook her head and said, “No need. I know my body. This is an emotional change that caused the pituitary gland to secrete too much. It has a rejection reaction with the biochip, causing the stimulation of the gastrointestinal mucosa to cause the vomiting of blood.”
Wen Shouyi: “...”
He Zhichu was a cautious person. Seeing that Qin Yaoguang was vomiting blood, he followed the procedure and got the medical officer to examine her.
The result was similar to Qin Yaoguang’s own diagnosis, but they had to go through this procedure. Otherwise, if they were used by someone with ulterior motives in the future, it would be directly twisted to the point of extorting a confession by torture.
After the medical officer’s examination, there would be a medical report and a third party’s side evidence. These proofs were more convincing than the surveillance footage.
He Zhichu waited until the medical officer said that Qin Yaoguang was fine before he took his leave with Wen Shouyi.
He Zhichu sent Qin Yaoguang directly to the court martial for detention to wait for the day of court martial.
This trip went smoothly. No one targeted their convoy anymore. Soon, they sent Qin Yaoguang to her destination.
Because the people involved in this case were not ordinary people, they received special treatment in the court martial.
The next day, they received news that the case was scheduled for December 31st, the last day of the year.
After all, there were only two days left until the court hearing.
He Zhichu personally called Gu Nianzhi to inform her of the date of the court hearing.
Gu Nianzhi was very surprised. “So soon? It’s actually on the day before New Year’s Day.”
He Zhichu was wearing a Bluetooth headset, signing documents, and talking to her at the same time.
“This is the earliest date we can get.” He Zhichu signed his name on the document flamboyantly. He smiled and said, “Don’t you want to settle this so you can have a happy new year?”
“It’s no different to me.” Gu Nianzhi laid on the sofa and threw a grape into her mouth. She shrugged and said, “She means nothing to me, so even if this case isn’t settled, I’ll still have a happy new year.”
He Zhichu stopped writing and thought about it for a moment before repeating what Qin Yaoguang had said. “Nianzhi, Qin Yaoguang wants to tell you that she’s apologizing to you.”
“Apologizing? !” Gu Nianzhi almost choked on the grape. She quickly sat up, covered her neck, and coughed a few times before swallowing the grape. She panted and said, “Young Master He, are you trying to scare me to death?”
He Zhichu scoffed. “You just said that Qin Yaoguang didn’t affect you in any way, but you’re already contradicting your words.”
“I’m just surprised.” Gu Nianzhi’s perfectly shaped black jade eyes rolled around and she smiled slyly. “Dean Qin actually apologized to me? Did you scare her into losing her mind?”
“I’m not that capable.” He Zhichu smiled self-mockingly. “I’ve kept her in custody for 46 hours, but she didn’t say a word. She didn’t eat or sleep. She’s quite persistent.”
“She’s that good?” Gu Nianzhi laughed. Her voluptuous lips curled into a beautiful curve, and two small dimples appeared on the corners of her lips. “As expected of an outstanding medical scientist and biologist. She actually lasted for forty-six hours. What about the next two hours? What happened? Why did she apologize?”
“That’s why I said I wasn’t that capable.” He Zhichu put down his pen and tapped his foot on the ground. He turned his chair around to face the crystal clear floor-to-ceiling window and sneered. Je said, “It was Old Master Qin and Wen Shouyi. They visited Qin Yaoguang in the last two hours.”
“Oh? Then what did they say?” Gu Nianzhi asked with great interest.
“Nothing much.” He Zhichu looked at the floor-to-ceiling window with a half-hearted smile, as if he could see Gu Nianzhi’s current state.
She must have been staring at him with her big, black, bright eyes, as bright as a kitten’s. She looked at him with a face full of curiosity and surprise...
He continued, “The older the wiser. When Old Master Qin arrived, he advised her to quickly confess her crimes and even blamed her for treating you so badly. He also said that mother and daughter didn’t have any long-terms feuds.”
Gu Nianzhi lost it when she heard this. She quickly shouted, “Stop, stop! Who doesn’t have past feuds with her? I have a blood feud with her! Tell her not to think that she can get over it just by apologizing. I, Gu Nianzhi, am a petty person who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance!”
He Zhichu nodded. “You can tell her that yourself in court. After all, Qin Yaoguang also said that she will only speak in court.”
“Haha, she’s that tough?” Gu Nianzhi waved her fist in the air and said excitedly, “I’ll wait and see!”
