Xie Qingying couldn’t believe it when she saw Qin Haoshan kowtowing in Gu Nianzhi’s direction on the stage in the middle of the restaurant. On a personal level, she had known Qin Haoshan for more than ten years.
Qin Haoshan was born into the Qin family and was quite capable, although he was very modest and polite. He also had a bit of a nerdy temperament, and sometimes he didn’t know how to be flexible.
Moreover, he was also a well-known honest man. It was said that he had never lied to anyone.
It was also this kind of person who had never lied to anyone. Once he lied to someone, he could really cheat them to death.
At that moment, Xie Qingying’s face was so dark that it other did not dare to approach her.
She stood below the stage and said to the security personnel she brought, “This person is looking for trouble. Take him away and send him directly to the police station. Our club is private territory. If you don’t follow the rules, we will call the police.”
Qin Haoshan turned his head and saw two burly men rushing up. His sweetheart, whom he had a crush on for many years, stood below the steps and looked at him angrily. He could not help but smile bitterly.
When he chose to listen to that person’s suggestion and made such a move, he gave up the possibility of being together with Xie Qingying for the rest of his life.
But how could his wealth and happiness be more important than the safety of the old man?
Qin Haoshan was burning with anxiety. When he was pulled down from the stage by two burly men, he was yelling, “Miss Gu! Lawyer Gu! Please show your mercy! My grandfather is old and sick, and he just had a surgery. He can’t withstand the torture of the prison!”
Normally, those who could come to the Xiang Xue Hai Club were either rich or noble.
When they heard that the chairman of such a big group, the Qin Corporation, had been imprisoned without a trial, these people felt that something was wrong.
Someone had already cried out in dissatisfaction, “Let him go! Let him speak! Old Mr. Qin has done so much for the country, how can he be captured and locked up so easily? Is there still any Royal law?!”
Raising her eyebrows, Xie Qingying uttered calmly, “I don’t know what’s going on with old Mr. Qin, but he’s making a ruckus here for no reason, which affects our club’s business and violates our club’s management regulations. I’m also asking him to leave according to the law.”
With a smile, Gu Nianzhi looked at that these people who were still not convinced.
Gu Nianzhi stood up from her seat leisurely, after which she said lightly, “Our country has its constitution, criminal law, civil law, and military law, but there is no royal law. That gentleman who claims to want the royal law, please travel back 300 years to the past, and there will be plenty of royal laws waiting for you.”
The person who had spoken earlier was also an executive of a listed company, so he was even more sympathetic to his plight.
He had originally wanted to fight for justice, but now that he had been humiliated like this, he couldn’t take it anymore. He rolled his eyes and said sternly, “You’re that lawyer Gu, right? Are you that great? Does your family own the police station?! Can you simply arrest whoever you want?”
Gu Nianzhi stood there in the custom-made military dress that Lu Jin had made for her. She had a valiant and heroic air about her, which was unique to military uniforms.
Her clear eyes were like clear crystals. She swept her gaze across the dining room, and the crowd that had been whispering a moment ago instantly quieted down.
Gu Nianzhi knew that at this point, she couldn’t take Qin Haoshan away by force.
She had to slap him in the face wherever he spread the rumors. She couldn’t do it earlier or later.
Otherwise, the consequences of spreading the rumors would be something that even a media person like Xie qingying couldn’t predict and control.
Just then, Gu Nianzhi winked at Xie qingying, signaling for her to let go of Qin Haoshan.
Xie Qingying was furious, but she did not let her anger get to her head.
As she narrowed her eyes, she asked the two security guards to let go of Qin Haoshan’s arm.
Qin Haoshan immediately rushed in Gu Nianzhi’s direction.
Gu Nianzhi was about to reach out to stop him when Huo Shaoheng had already left his seat. He was as fast as lightning. He grabbed Qin Haoshan’s arm with one hand and pressed his shoulder with the other, firmly holding him one meter away from where Gu Nianzhi and the others were sitting.
Gu Nianzhi’s outstretched hand paused in mid-air for a moment, then nodded at Qin Haoshan. “One minute please. Let me finish talking to the gentleman who wants the royal law.”
Lu Jin had already activated the cloud-based system on his flat glasses and conducted an identity search on the person who had just spoken. He then relayed the information he had found to Gu Nianzhi’s phone.
Lowering her head, Gu Nianzhi quickly glanced at the phone that had just vibrated. She skimmed through the information on the person.
She raised her head. Her gaze was cold, and her usually soft voice was firm. She said in a clear and powerful voice, “First of all, I am that lawyer Gu. I can be friendly when things are reasonable.”
“Second, the police station is not run by my family. Your words are suspected of slandering my personal reputation and professional conduct, and also of slandering the reputation of a public office. As long as I want to sue, I can join hands with the public office that you slandered and slandered just now, and sue the listed company you work for until it goes bankrupt and is delisted.”
“Thirdly, old Mr. Qin was invited to ‘assist in the investigation and treatment’ because he was suspected of murdering a major general in the army. If I can really arrest whoever I want, you won’t have the chance to sit here and listen to me lay out the facts and reason with you.”
The matter of Old Master Qin and Qin Yaoguang being suspected of using infrasound weapons to murder He Zhichu was still under investigation.
Because there was a year’s gap between them, the preliminary results of the investigation would not be out until tomorrow, which was the 16th of the first lunar month.
Qin Haoshan had really picked a very good time to make a fuss today.
When the senior manager of the company, who had been acting all high and mighty just a moment ago, heard that this matter was related to the military, he shivered and forced a smile on his face. Respectfully, he asked Gu Nianzhi, “Um, so that’s how it is? Thank you, Lawyer Gu, for your explanation! Those who don’t know will not be punished. I’ll drink three glasses of brandy! Three glasses of brandy!”
He then poured himself three glasses of brandy and quickly downed it in one gulp. Then he lit up the bottom of the glass as if he was really drinking with Gu Nianzhi.
As Gu Nianzhi snorted, he uttered lightly, “It’s too late. Everyone here heard what you said just now. Three glasses of brandy is not enough. Just wait for my lawyer’s letter.”
Gu Nianzhi did not need a lawyer’s letter to suppress those who wanted the world to be in chaos. It would definitely be difficult for her to let go of today’s matter.
The man’s flushed face instantly turned white, and his lips trembled. He wanted to plead with Gu Nianzhi, but in front of so many people, they were all people on the scene. It was impossible for them to be shameless and publicly plead for mercy. It was impossible for them to do so in this lifetime.
He sat down uneasily while thinking about Qin Haoshan in anger, who had been shouting and shouting just now.
Gu Nianzhi finished with the guests and then looked at Qin Haoshan.
She looked him up and down, her gaze cold and emotionless, as if she was sizing up an item and estimating its value. It made Qin Haoshan very uncomfortable.
Gu Nianzhi’s goal was to make him uncomfortable.
Xie Qingying glared at Qin Haoshan and said through gritted teeth, “Qin Haoshan, we’ve known each other for so many years. I didn’t expect you to lie to me in such a despicable way!”
Qin Haoshan smiled bitterly and turned his head away, not daring to look at Xie Qingying’s face.
Gu Nianzhi blinked and immediately understood. She said, “Qin Haoshan, so you lied to cousin Xie to get in? I was just saying that the security here is so tight. How could I let you in again…”
Xie Qingying’s face was red.
She had caused a ruckus here before the New Year. At that time, Xie Qingying had already broken up with Qin Haoshan. She had not expected that Qin Haoshan would lie to her with a photo today..
“Nianzhi, it’s my fault today. I also didn’t expect Qin Haoshan to lie. He wasn’t like this before. He was a rare gentleman who never lied. He was just impulsive.”
Xie Qingying shook her head. “Qin Haoshan, how did you become like this?”
Gu Nianzhi thought Qin Haoshan had done something he wouldn’t have done before and misled Xie Qingying.
This was going to be interesting.
“Cousin Xie, what did Qin Haoshan lie to you about?” Gu Nianzhi inquired curiously.
Xie Qingying’s face turned from red to white. She suddenly realized that Qin Haoshan’s trick was really vicious. He wanted to make her feel bitter and unspeakable..
She did have a crush on He Zhichu in the past, but she had never dreamed of the day when she would be together with He Zhichu.
Therefore, she buried that love deep in the bottom of her heart and continued to live her life.
She had dated a boyfriend before and had behaved intimately, but that was a normal reaction between couples.
She did not have any special hobbies, nor did she take any outrageous photos. But what if her ex-boyfriend had secretly taken photos of her?
This was also one of the reasons why Qin Haoshan could deceive her.
Because the word “photo” magnified the dark side of human nature.
Xie Qingying had already decided that she would confess her past love history to he zhichu. However, this did not mean that she was willing to let someone take secretly taken photos of her for He Zhichu to see.
The person who came up with this idea understood Xie qingying’s mentality of being a woman in love too well..
She knew that she did not want to be shown to He Zhichu the photos that were secretly taken. She knew that she wanted to maintain a beautiful image in front of the person she loved deeply. She knew that she valued the relationship that she had just started with him..
Nevertheless, now that she thought about it, there was no such thing as secretly taken photos. It was just Qin Haoshan using this despicable method to trick her.
Xie Qingying gnashed her teeth and said, “Qin Haoshan, you’ve really disappointed me! How could you deceive me like this?”
Gu Nianzhi saw that Xie qingying was unwilling to say anything, and she vaguely understood something.
What else could a woman say that she had been deceived but was too embarrassed to say it?
Gu Nianzhi’s face darkened.
She hated it when men used such despicable methods to threaten women.
“Cousin Xie, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Qin Haoshan may have hidden his true colors too well in front of you in the past, but today he’s the real Qin Haoshan.” Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and snorted, “Qin Haoshan, you’ve already violated the rules of this clubhouse by lying to people first. You’ve also publicly slandered my reputation. Let me ask you, what is the deep hatred between you and me that you’ve repeatedly tried to make things difficult for me?”
Qin Haoshan glared at Gu Nianzhi and said hatefully, “Didn’t you personally send my aunt, your mother, to prison? Didn’t you instigate general he to detain my grandfather?”
Gu Nianzhi almost couldn’t hold back her laughter when she heard these completely law-blind words.
“Who did you hear all this nonsense from?” Gu Nianzhi shook her head. “If I Were you, I wouldn’t come here to embarrass myself. Instead, I would go back and beat up the person who misled you!”
Qin Haoshan was so provoked by Gu Nianzhi that he blurted out the person who had given him the idea.
“She won’t mislead me! She’s been working hard for the Qin family and hasn’t had a good new year. She’s been in meetings and trying to find a way to get her grandfather and aunt out! On the contrary, you, the granddaughter of the Qin family, have gone insane and sent your own kin to prison!”
Instantly, Gu Nianzhi understood and her voice became even colder, “Did Wen Shouyi tell you to do this?”
