He Zhichu suddenly understood. “But isn’t this surgery going to be nationalized? How’s her training going?”
“Previously, only she could perform the surgery. Now that her hand is injured, she’s always worried about training her subordinates.” He Chengjian sighed, “Not to mention she’s worried, we’re worried as well. Without three to five years of practice, no one would be at ease letting them operate on our soldiers’ brains with such an intricate surgery.”
He Zhichu was silent for a moment. His bright peach blossom eyes flickered with a dark light. He said lightly, “Why don’t we give up on this surgery? We don’t have enough power now anyway. We can’t send people to the other side anymore.”
He paused for a moment, and his cold and clear voice was a little hoarse.”… We also don’t need to send anyone to the other side anymore.”
He Chengjian understood what he meant, and felt very guilty towards him.
He originally thought that by bringing Gu Nianzhi here and separating her from Huo Shaoheng, she would naturally change her mind after a long time.
After all, in He Chengjian’s heart, his son was unparalleled in the world. Only he would dump the woman that he didn’t want and no woman would dare to dump him.
But Gu Nianzhi was an exception.
He Chengjian still remembered that night, when he was surprised to see a young girl standing in front of the rifle bullet without hesitation…
That kind of determination and intensity shocked him greatly.
There really was a woman who would rather die than be with his son…
“We can pause it.” He Chengjian nodded. “Then let Qin Yaoguang and her lab be summoned by the court.”
He Zhichu frowned and thought for a moment. His eyes flashed as he said, “I don’t know what will be involved in the upcoming trial. Why don’t we let the court martial take over?”
“Court martial?” He Chengjian was a little confused. “Isn’t it just Nianzhi’s missing case eight years ago? Is there a need for a court martial?”
“This isn’t about Nianzhi’s missing case.” He Zhichu chuckled. “It’s because Qin Yaoguang and her lab might involve something that no one else knew about it. It’s better to let the court martial take over.”
“Oh, that’s true.” He Chengjian patted his head and smiled. “Her memory-stripping surgery is led by her lab. If she’s summoned to the court, if it involves this…”
“Qin Yaoguang didn’t violate the rules and perform this kind of surgery on others, did she?” He Zhichu tapped his fingers on the desk with an indifferent expression, but the sharpness in his eyes was like a long knife that hid a sharp blade. “Should we send people to keep an eye on her lab?”
He Chengjian narrowed his eyes. “There are people from the military keeping an eye on her lab. However… it doesn’t seem like there’s any violation of the rules these years. At least, there has never been any inappropriate news.”
He Zhichu nodded. “She had better follow the rules. If not, it definitely wouldn’t be a small mistake.”
“I don’t think so in the past few years.” He Chengjian narrowed his sharp eyes, and the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes appeared. “After you left, I agreed to marry her.”
“In the past few years, she had been focused on our family and rarely went to the laboratory to do experiments.”
“She had really wanted to have a child with me. I saw that she was getting old, and my heart softened for a moment. So I agreed to let her use my frozen sperm to do artificial insemination. Later on, she got pregnant.”
“Unfortunately, the child couldn’t stay. It didn’t take long for the miscarriage to occur.”
He Chengjian averted his gaze and looked at the lonely winter scenery outside the window, He recalled. “She had no choice but to give up. At that time, Wen Shouyi happened to be chased back by you. She stayed by Qin Yaoguang’s side, taking care of her and accompanying her. Qin Yaoguang brought her by her side to relieve her boredom.”
He Zhichu scoffed. “No wonder Qin Yaoguang suddenly treated Wen Shouyi so well after Nianzhi disappeared.”
Qin Yaoguang was the daughter of a gardener. The other party was the well known scientist in the world and the head of the brain surgery department. They had never crossed path.
“But, if the person who really wanted to kidnap Gu Nianzhi eight years ago was Qin yaoguang, what was she up to?” He Chengjian was confused, “If she wanted to see Gu Nianzhi, she could come to our house to see her every day. We didn’t separate Nianzhi from us, so she could see anyone she wanted to see anytime and anywhere.”
He had watched today’s trial video. Although there was no concrete evidence, he had a hunch that the person who kidnapped Gu Nianzhi eight years ago was actually Qin Yaoguang’s instigator.
“And I remember that when Nianzhi was in our house, she actually didn’t like Qin Yaoguang very much. She also rarely came to see her. In other words, in the past six years, the number of times she came to see her could be counted on one hand.”
“She came to see her in person but didn’t want to see her. She even ordered our gardener to set up such a trap to kidnap her and then blamed everything on that lunatic.” He Chengjian was even more confused. “Is Qin Yaoguang trying to do something behind our backs?”
He Zhichu didn’t have a good impression of Qin Yaoguang. He sneered and turned his head, saying disdainfully, “Who knows what she’s thinking? I think she’s even crazier than Gu Xiangwen!”
He Chengjian’s expression immediately changed when he mentioned Gu Xiangwen. “Don’t mention that lunatic’s name in front of me!”
He Zhichu’s eyes dimmed. He picked up a ballpoint pen from the desk and started fiddling with it, suddenly, he said, “Dad, Nianzhi’s kidnapping back then has proven that there’s something else going on. Although Gu Xiangwen is involved in the case, there’s a very high possibility that it’s different from what we had thought.”
“So?” He Chengjian looked at him with a dark expression, he slammed the table and shouted, “What are you trying to say? Nianzhi’s kidnap case, I think it was due to the fight between that madman and Qin Yaoguang! Qin Yaoguang has lost, but that doesn’t prove that the madman is innocent!”
He Zhichu saw that He Chengjian’s reaction was so intense, so he did not continue. He changed the topic and said lightly, “What do you think of Nianzhi’s attainments in the law? Especially her ability to be a trial lawyer?”
He Chengjian immediately praised her. “Very impressive! Back then, when your mother was her age, she was not as sharp and experienced as she was. She’s just turned 20, right? I remember that your mother first became famous in court when she was 24 years old.”
He Zhichu: “…”
How could he have forgotten that his father was his mother’s biggest admirer.
He sighed in his heart, He Zhichu smiled and said, “I think she’s pretty good as well. You know, in that world, I was her mentor. I taught her many things that I learned from my mother. Her style of trial is similar to my mother’s because she learned my mother’s style just like me.”
“Is that so?” He Chengjian couldn’t tell if he was disappointed or happy.
He couldn’t concentrate. His mind kept thinking about the days when he was with Qin Suwen.
They got married when their love was the deepest and gave birth to their son, He Zhichu, when their love was the strongest.
They lived together for so many years.
The memories of every day in the past were engraved in his mind. As long as he had time, he would take them out and carefully reflect on them, so that he could spend the rest of his long life.
He Zhichu lowered his eyes, and his clear and cold voice was like a drop of ice spring, pulling He Chengjian’s scattered thoughts back.
“Dad, I think, after Nianzhi’s case is over, we should let her look at the dossier on Mother’s death that year and see if she can… find some clues that we didn’t noticed?”
He Chengjian quivered and completely woke up. He looked at He Zhichu with bright eyes, “What did you say?!”
