Huo Shaoheng made a prompt decision. He stood up immediately and said, “I’ll talk to General Ji. If it works out, Ms. Song can entrust Nianzhi to represent her.”
Song Jinning and Gu Nianzhi were both targets of the other party, but because Huo Shaoheng had protected her in time, Gu Nianzhi was basically safe and sound. It was hard to say if she wasn’t a victim.
However, Song Jinning had been kidnapped by associate director Jia, and her life was in real danger.
Therefore, in the end, the court martial only made a case against song Jinning’s kidnapping.
After Lu Jin found out about it, he said unhappily, “So my miss was threatened by them for Nothing?”
“Uncle Lu, you can help your miss vent her anger.”Huo Shaoheng teased with a smile. He nodded at Gu Nianzhi and left his study.
Lu Yuan stood up holding song Jinning’s hand and said, “We just happened to be here. Shall we sign the proxy agreement today?”
Gu Nianzhi was more than happy to do so. “I’ll go get the contract.”
She returned to her room and printed out a lawyer’s contract from her computer. She took it over and asked Song Jinning to sign it.
She then kept the contract in triplicate.
At the same time, the court martial would receive a proxy agreement. In the future, she would be notified of Song Jinning’s appearance in court.
Moreover, because of Song Jinning’s special status, she could choose not to appear in court for this case. Gu Nianzhi would have full authority to represent her.
..
On the first day of the new year, Huo Shaoheng took a special car to General Ji’s house to pay New Year’s greetings.
He brought two bottles of wine and went to General Ji’s study. He smiled as he put the bottles down and said, “Happy New Year, General Ji.”
General Ji smiled as he made him sit down. He said, “I didn’t expect you to have the time to visit me today. Where’s Nianzhi? Why isn’t she here?”
“She still has things to do. She wants to start work on the first day of the New Year.”Huo Shaoheng sat down and said to General Ji in a low voice, “I’m here on official business as well.”
General Ji felt his teeth ache when he saw Huo Shaoheng’s serious expression.
“Shaoheng, can’t you let me rest for a while today?”
“Americans don’t celebrate the new year with us.”Huo Shaoheng was implying something. “It’s already been two months, and we’re still in the middle of a jurisdictional lawsuit. Are you really not going to interfere?”
“What’s the use of me interfering? There are a lot of obstacles in this matter.”General Ji Sighed. “Old long and Old Bai were discussing with me a few days ago whether or not to be tyrannical.”
“Are you saying that some of the higher-ups are opposed to trying this case in China?”Huo Shaoheng actually knew who those people were, but because of his limited authority, he couldn’t take the initiative to attack them.
Helping Gu Nianzhi push for an early start of the trial was already the best he could do.
Moreover, song jinning was his mother, so he wouldn’t attract attention if he interfered.
General Ji nodded and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair. He said with a dark expression, “They are quite capable. They control the public opinion. Old Long, Old Bai, and I are often blamed, so we can only wait and see.”
“Wait and See?”Huo Shaoheng said what Gu Nianzhi had said. “Two months have passed. There’s enough time for Keven to be ‘seriously ill.’”
In such a case, Keven was an American citizen. Once he was really diagnosed as seriously ill, Huaxia would have to release him immediately and allow the United States to extradite him back for trial.
If they did not release him, international public opinion would be very unfavorable to Huaxia.
General ji sneered, “Do you think they don’t want to? That Keven was arrested for two months and only said one sentence, ‘I want to see my lawyer.’other than that, he did not say a word.”
“Also, from the day he was arrested, he went on a hunger strike and refused to eat any food, including water.”
“Three days later, we had no choice but to give him an IV drip to replenish the nutrient solution.”
“He only started eating after his legal team arrived.”
Huo Shaoheng raised an eyebrow.”… His bones are so hard? That makes him even more extraordinary.”
General Ji laughed at his outburst. “Of course he’s extraordinary. I’ve never met an American who could survive a ‘hard interrogation’by the Security Bureau!”
Huo Shaoheng frowned as well. “Not to mention an American. If we were to use all of those methods, we would lose more than half of our special operations forces’elites.”
Those techniques were definitely not low-level torture like tiger benches or pepper spray.
They were high-level torture techniques that directly affected the nerves in the brain and the sense of consciousness.
There were no injuries on the body at all, but the human will was completely destroyed, and the health of the body had completely collapsed.
However, the gentle and handsome keven, under such torture, remained conscious and did not say a word.
There were only two possibilities. One was that he had really been wronged.
The other was that he was not an ordinary person. He was someone who had received special training like Huo Shaoheng and the others.
“… we investigated his background and found some interesting things.”Huo shaoheng said calmly, “I submitted the report two months ago.”
“Yes.”General Ji nodded. “But the jurisdiction case is still ongoing, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“Actually, there is a way.”Huo Shaoheng hesitated, still, he said, “Nianzhi said that two cases can be tried at the same time. “While we fight the jurisdiction case with them, we can also hold our own court and try the felony case of Kevin gathering a crowd with guns and suspected of kidnapping and murdering an important scientist in our country.”
“How is that possible? !”General Ji looked up abruptly. “Is there any legal basis for this?”
“If Nianzhi says there is, there is.”Huo Shaoheng was very confident in Gu Nianzhi. He said calmly, “Even if there isn’t, she can quote the classics and prove legally that what we are doing is legal.”
“You have a lot of confidence in her!”General Ji laughed and patted Huo Shaoheng on the shoulder.
“She has proven herself in many difficult cases. Why should I have no confidence in her?”Huo Shaoheng asked back. “Just because she’s young?”
“Look at you, What’s The Rush? Is she perfect? Can’t we say anything about her?”General Ji deliberately put on a stern face and looked at Huo Shaoheng angrily.
Huo Shaoheng slowly raised his head and said lightly, “Yes, she’s perfect. Don’t speak ill of her, not a word.”
General Ji stared at him for a while and laughed heartily. He pounded the table and said, “Shaoheng, Oh Shaoheng, you have a day like this too!”
“When I said I was going to introduce you to someone, you had a thousand excuses. I thought you were going to be single forever!”
Huo Shaoheng smiled. “General Ji, you flatter me.”
“I’m not complimenting you!”General Ji’s laughter stopped abruptly. He was a little annoyed by Huo Shaoheng.
After Huo Shaoheng left, general ji invited speaker long and Prime Minister Bai to his house. The three of them had a small meeting and decided to follow Gu Nianzhi’s instructions. The court session would officially begin on the eighth of the first month.
Because this matter had to be taken by surprise, only the three of them knew about the court session. Even Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng did not know about it.
The three of them were also people who would never leak secrets.
Because they stood at the top of the food chain in the empire, no matter how stupid they were, they would never ruin their own reputation.
..
Gu Nianzhi had a very fulfilling New Year. Every day, she spent a lot of time studying the information Lu Jin had given her about Zhou Yi and chaos mathematics.
Huo Shaoheng saw that she was still holding onto the book when he slept at night. He was very curious and asked, “Aren’t you going to prepare the information for the court date?”
Although he did not know when the trial would begin, he was sure that there would be definite news after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
It was already the seventh day of the first lunar month.
Gu Nianzhi said without looking up,”… do you still need to prepare for the trial?”
Huo Shaoheng:”…”
