Dawn had just broken when Lu Yuan and Lu Jin arrived from the path in the woods.
The two of them went to Peter’s car first and knocked on the door.
Peter saw that they had arrived and opened the car door to greet them. He raised his hand and said, “Just in time, I’ll leave her to you. You girls are too demanding. I’d rather deal with those people on the other side.”
He gave Gu Nianzhi a sidelong glance and walked forward alone.
Gu Nianzhi saw Lu Yuan and Lu Jin, and the tears she had been holding in for a long time finally rolled down her cheeks.
She jumped out of the car and threw herself into Lu Jin’s arms. She sobbed and whispered,”… dad, Huo Shao was shot just now…”
Lu Yuan sighed and said,”… you’re just too worried. Shaoheng is your fiancé. Would your dad leave him alone? He’s also wearing a bulletproof vest that your dad designed and made himself.”
Gu Nianzhi’s tears disappeared in an instant, and a happy smile appeared on her face. “Dad, is that true? !”
Lu Jin took out a tissue to wipe her tears and said with a sullen face, “It’s fake. I don’t see you caring about your poor, helpless, and weak old father.”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
..
On the other side of tiankeng, Qin Baye was instructing his bodyguards to enter the Soviet Embassy’s car to carry people. He said repeatedly, “Be careful, don’t use too much force, don’t hurt her…”
The bodyguards were busying themselves as they carried the entire temporary stretcher bed out of the car.
Peter walked over with his eyelids drooping and stood beside him.
Qin Baye then realized that there was another person beside him. He turned his head and did not recognize him.
He immediately became nervous, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
As he said that, he scolded his bodyguards, “What are you all doing? ! You Don’t even know that someone is here!”
Peter said expressionlessly, “Boss, we just talked on the phone. How come you don’t recognize him in the blink of an Eye?”
Qin Baye’s pupils suddenly constricted, “You are the leader of the elite mercenaries? !”
No! That person’s appearance was obviously not like his!
Qin Baye immediately knew that something was wrong.
He had felt this way many times along the way. It was as if a traveler walking in the mountains was being stared at by a ferocious beast. It was like a thorn in his back.
But every time, there was a “Rational”benefit analysis and the occasional police chase that interrupted his thoughts.
Now, the thought had finally taken shape.
Qin Baye quickly stepped aside and moved away from Peter. He asked cautiously,”… Where’s Gu Nianzhi? where is she?”
“She’s still in the car. I locked the car door from the inside. Don’t worry, she won’t be able to escape,”Peter said meaningfully.
Qin Baye nodded slightly and said, “Your boss sent me a photo. Did you disguise yourself? You Don’t have to do that in front of me.”
Peter smiled and took a step forward. He stretched out his big hand and grabbed Qin Baye’s arm like a pair of iron pincers. “I didn’t disguise myself. This is my true appearance.”
Qin Baye’s pupils constricted. He pushed Peter Hard, wanting to push him away and hide behind his bodyguards.
However, Peter didn’t allow him to dodge. He dodged his push while taking out his gun with his other hand and quickly fired at the few bodyguards who were looking at each other!
Bang Bang Bang!
After a few gunshots, only one bodyguard was still standing. The rest of them were convulsing on the ground.
Blood flowed out from behind them and dyed the dark green grass red.
Peter nodded to the bodyguard who was standing. “Come over and help me tie him up.”
This person actually listened to Peter’s words. He shook out a rope and tied Qin baye up like a dumpling.
Qin Baye’s entire body trembled. He looked at Peter and then at his “Bodyguard”. Suddenly, he realized, “You were the one who fired just now! You were the one who shot that Soviet diplomat! You were also the one who kicked him down!”
The “Bodyguard”nodded and said with a smile, “Although the boss is old, his eyesight is not bad. Yes, it’s me.”
He was obviously in cahoots with this fake “Mercenary leader Elite”who appeared out of nowhere!
Qin Baye’s face suddenly turned pale. He turned his head to look at the bottomless sinkhole and then at the two smiling men in front of him. He gritted his teeth, he said, “Who asked you to do this? Aren’t you just looking for money? — how much money others give you, I’ll give you double! No, three times! Four times! Five times!”
Peter didn’t say anything but reached out and pulled Qin Baye back from the edge of the sinkhole. He said, “Whether you want to die or live, it’s not up to you.”
As he said that, he and the other “Bodyguard”went behind Qin Baye and stood on both sides, blocking the possibility of him jumping into the sinkhole. Although the possibility was very low, it was almost negligible.
On the empty space in front of them, the fog finally dispersed.
A group of people walked over from the entrance and gradually appeared in front of them as if they were passing through the clouds.
Qin Baye’s eyes widened. “Young master he? ! General he! Why are you here? !”
He made up his mind and turned to look at Peter behind him. He quickly said, “Young master he! General he! This person is a foreign mercenary! He kidnapped me! Kidnapped Nianzhi! You must not let him go!”
He zhichu scoffed. “He kidnapped Nianzhi? Qin Baye, you really know how to shift the blame!”
With that, he waved his hand. “Bring her up!”
Gu Nianzhi watched from a distance. The person who had brought her up this time was the old man from C City who had set up a trap to capture her!
This person was one of the three people she and Huo Shaoheng had gone to C city to investigate. He was also the last person — Qin Suwen’s father, Qin Huichang’s old friend.
He was younger than Qin Huichang by more than ten years, and of course, he was much younger than Qin Baye, so he didn’t look as old as Qin Baye, but he was still over 60 years old.
He Zhichu had handed this man over to he zhichu, and no one knew how much information he had been interrogated about that year.
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself that this man must have given evidence against Qin Baye, so he chengjian had directly interfered in this matter.
Qin Baye saw this man and truly felt that the tide had turned. His legs gave way, and he almost sat down on the ground.
“… how is it? What else can be framed? You can tell us all, so that we won’t have to talk about it a few times to whet everyone’s appetite,”he zhichu said coldly and raised his leg to kick that “Friend who forgets his age”.
That person staggered a few steps forward, his legs went weak and he knelt down.
Qin Baye glared at this person, he still had to be stubborn. “What exactly are you doing? ! Are you going to torture the two of us old people to extract a confession? ! — I’m telling you, the sky is wide and the net is wide. If you torture the old people, you will have your retribution!”
“There are no old or young people here. There are only good people and bad people.”He Zhichu said lightly. “What’s wrong with an old person? is an old person superior to others and can get away with it?”
“Haha, if you don’t treat an old person well, what about Gu Nianzhi? Can you ignore her too? !”Qin Baye raised his head. “Gu Nianzhi is still in my hands. If you don’t let me go, Gu Nianzhi will die right in front of you!”
Peter snickered behind him. “Old Man, have you forgotten about me?”
Qin Baye didn’t even turn to look at him. He said coldly,”… I’ll count to one, two, three. If you don’t let me go, I’ll let her die right in front of you!”
“So powerful? !”He Zhichu looked at him coldly. “But I’m not afraid. What should I do?”
“… She’s Your Savior! And she’s the perfect gene! Don’t you guys need her at all? !”Qin Baye was about to die, but he did not forget to sow discord.
“She’s the perfect gene? What time is it? Don’t you forget to throw the blame around?”He zhichu spun the gun in his hand, he pointed it at the “Best friend”kneeling on the ground and said coldly, “Your Daughter, Qin Yaoguang, is the perfect gene. How long do you want to keep this a secret?”
“She’s Not! She really isn’t! Gu Nianzhi is! If you dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll make you regret it for the rest of your lives!”
Qin Baye looked at He Zhichu in fear, then at he chengjian, who had a dark expression on his face. His heart was beating faster and faster, almost jumping out of his throat!
He could only console himself that Gu Nianzhi was still in the car he had provided. When he had arrived, he had detected the signal, and the time bomb was intact.
The car was parked not far away. Even though the kidnapper leader was a fake, he still locked Gu Nianzhi in the car.
Qin Baye was betting that these people didn’t know there was something fishy going on in the car!
But his hopes were quickly dashed.
The Sun suddenly rose from the mountains. The morning glow was boundless and covered the forest. There was also sunlight jumping on the grass in the open field in front of them.
Another three people walked towards the direction of the Rising Sun.
One of them was a young girl with delicate features.
She smiled faintly, but there was a dazzling beauty to her. The rising sun had become her embellishment, and the smile on her face was even brighter than the sun.
Qin Baye stared at Gu Nianzhi as if he had seen a ghost. “You, you, you… how did you get out? !”
Wasn’t Peter locking him in the car?
However, he quickly came to his senses. He turned around and glared at Peter. “You lied to me!”
“Of course I lied to you. You knew I was a fake, and you thought I wouldn’t lie to You?”Peter’s eyelids drooped as he slapped Qin Baye. “Speak properly, don’t look around.”
Qin Baye felt dizzy from the slap. He had no choice but to close his eyes and gasp for breath.
Gu Nianzhi came to he zhichu’s side and looked up at his indifferent face. She smiled and said, “Young master he, thank you for saving me.”
Huo Shaoheng had already told her that he zhichu had arranged for Peter.
The Committee of State Security (KGB) would not have agreed to accept the mission without he zhichu and he chengjian’s help.
Huo Shaoheng’s agreement with the Soviets would only last until he used Peter’s identity. He would not be able to fulfill any higher demands.
After all, with his identity, he didn’t have any bargaining chips to negotiate with the Soviets at a higher level.
At that moment, he chengjian and he zhichu’s status and identity came into play.
He zhichu still had his hands behind his back and said calmly,”… are you hurt? I scared you.”
After a pause, he added, “Qingying is also responsible for this incident. I apologize on her behalf.”
Gu Nianzhi quickly waved her hand. “No, no, cousin Xie is fine. She would rather be beaten up than tell anyone where I was. I owe her a favor.”
“You saved her too.”He zhichu lowered his eyes. “If the other party hadn’t used her to expose the truth, you wouldn’t have been so shocked this time.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it.”Gu Nianzhi was very open-minded, “Cousin Xie was kept in the dark about a lot of things, so she couldn’t have thought like us. Even if she knew there was a problem with the motive behind such a sensational revelation, she wouldn’t have thought it would be so serious.”
He zhichu heaved a sigh of relief. “Nianzhi, don’t speak up for her like that. You’re making me feel even more guilty.”
“Alright, Young Master He, let’s talk about this later.”Gu Nianzhi smiled as she looked at the “Old friend”kneeling in front of her. Her expression darkened, “… What did that person say? I’m also very curious about the truth of that year.”
There was no doubt that he chengjian and he zhichu had brought this “Friend who forgets age”to confront Qin Baye because of the truth of the incident with Qin Suwen’s family.
He Zhichu turned around and glanced at Lu Yuan and Lu Jin who were standing behind Gu Nianzhi. He nodded slightly at them.
He chengjian looked at Gu Nianzhi as if he had seen Qin Suwen from the past. Although they looked completely different, the way they spoke and even the way they walked were very similar..
He looked away and said coldly to the person in front of him, “Tell me, how exactly did you collude with Qin Baye back then to frame Suwen’s family?”
This person had been interrogated by HE Zhichu for two months and had long been scared out of his wits.
At that moment, he chengjian asked, and he immediately pointed at Qin Baye in front of him and said with trepidation, “It was him! He was the one who ordered me to do it!”
“You’re slandering me!”Qin Baye was about to charge forward, but Peter grabbed his arm and he still said indignantly, “This is slander! Show me your evidence!”
Gu Nianzhi was disgusted by Qin Baye. She waved her fist at him. “What are you yelling about? ! Do you really think there’s no evidence after all these years? — do you believe that I can find evidence for you and convince you?”
Peter, who was standing behind Qin Baye, pursed his lips speechlessly.
In his opinion, what evidence was there to find?
The old man’s background proved that he wasn’t from the right place. He could just shoot him.
Unfortunately, he did not have the power to make a decision. He could only watch from the sidelines.
Qin Baye was shut up by Gu Nianzhi’s words.
He had seen Gu Nianzhi in court several times and was extremely wary of her talent in the law.
He zhichu said calmly,”… continue.”
The “Best friend”who was kneeling on the ground was crying bitterly. His hands were propped up on the grass, and his shoulders were shaking as he said, “I was muddle-headed! I was obsessed!”
“Brother Qin has always been very good to me. I shouldn’t have watched Qin Baye frame his family for a little money! I’m guilty! Guilty!”
Qin Baye couldn’t help snorting when he heard this, but he still closed his eyes and didn’t speak.
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows, “You’re saying that you knew that Qin Baye framed Qin Suwen’s family, but you just didn’t say it? “How much did Qin Baye pay you to keep your mouth shut?”? “That mansion in C city was a sky-high price… just the money to keep your mouth shut was worth that much?”
The “Old friend”‘s shoulders trembled again. He still lowered his head and gritted his teeth, unwilling to reveal the crucial point.
He knew that if he really told the truth, he would be dead.
But none of the people present were people who could be fooled.
Gu Nianzhi took a step forward, she then asked lightly, “Qin Suwen’s father, Qin Huichang, was not close to Qin Baye at all. Tell me, how did you convince Qin Huichang to go from refusing to sell the land to agreeing to sell the land?”
This was the key to the whole case.
The “Friend”kneeling on the ground was like a soft bone that had been drained of its strength. It could not even kneel, and immediately collapsed onto the grass.
