Chapter 1306 - Impressed By You!

Bai Jinyi’s expression darkened. She could no longer maintain her composure.

She slammed a hand on the table and said, “Luo Jialan is such a bitch! I treated her so well back then!”

She was just taking what she needed. Did she have to make herself sound so innocent?

Gu Nianzhi cursed silently inside. She quietly listened to Bai Jinyi vent her anger before she said, “Since you admit that you did tell Luo Jialan about Song Jinning knowing about her past, can you sign this for me?”

Gu Nianzhi took out the signed form for the third-party witness statement that she had prepared beforehand and placed it in front of Bai Jinyi.

Bai Jinyi was caught off guard. “What’s this?”

“This is a statement that requires your signature to prove that you said something like that just now.” Gu Nianzhi pointed to the reason that she had written on it, “Please treat it with caution, because this will be handed over to the prosecutor’s Office to help prosecute Luo Jialan.”

Bai Jinyi signed her name without hesitation when she heard that Gu Nianzhi was going to sue Luo Jialan.

After signing it, she pushed the affidavit back to Gu Nianzhi and smiled maliciously. “It would be great if Luo Jialan could come here to keep me company. ”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and stood up. “I’ll definitely bring you two good friend back together. ”

Holding the third-party affidavit that Bai Jinyi had personally signed, Gu Nianzhi once again went to the prosecutor’s office’s reception room.

“Lawyer Gu, why are you here again?” The staff member in the reception room was very polite towards her, but also felt at a loss. “We’ve already told you many times that the ‘intentional homicide’ that you requested to be prosecuted doesn’t have enough supporting evidence, so we can’t prosecute her.”

Along with the materials that she had prepared earlier, Gu Nianzhi placed the testimony that she had just received in front of the staff member, then smiled and said, “Take a look again. We have another crucial third-party testimony. This testimony can prove that Luo Jialan had a motive to kill Song Jinning.”

Gu Nianzhi still had some reservations about the materials she had requested for the prosecution.

She wouldn’t reveal all of her cards.

The real trump card would be reserved to give a fatal blow to Luo Jialan during the trial.

The staff member looked at Gu Nianzhi suspiciously, then lowered his head to pull out the documents from his bag. He first looked at the list of documents.

On the list of documents on the cover, the staff member found a new testimony. It was from a third party, and it was also the testimony of a prisoner...

The staff member pulled out the new document in surprise and read it carefully.

The staff member’s expression changed when he read it again.

Lawyer Gu was indeed exceptional.

She had found a breakthrough point in a case that seemed impossible to prosecute!

Although the staff member wasn’t the one who made the decision in the prosecutor’s office, he had handled thousands of complaints and had long been trained to have a sharp eye.

From his professional point of view, Gu Nianzhi’s previous petitions lacked such a breakthrough point that could link all the charges together.

The testimony from Bai Jinyi was undoubtedly the final key.

He put away all the materials, then said to Gu Nianzhi with a big smile, “As expected of the great lawyer Gu who won the case in Germany. The petitions prepared can be used as a model. Don’t worry, I’ll hand them in and let the prosecutor carefully consider it. You can go back and wait for the notice.”

Gu Nianzhi knew it was a done deal when he said that.

She let out a sigh and stood up with a smile. She bowed to the staff member and said, “Thank you for enforcing the law impartially. I hope we can work well together from now on.”

Song Jinning was the plaintiff, and Gu Nianzhi was her lawyer.

If the prosecutor filed the lawsuit, Gu Nianzhi would most likely be hired by the prosecutor’s office as a public prosecutor and face the defendant’s lawyer in court.

The staff member also knew what he meant.

He reached out and shook Gu Nianzhi’s hand heavily. “You’re too courteous, lawyer Gu.”

..

Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch as she walked out of the Public Prosecutor’s office. It was almost 1 p.m.

Since she left at 7 a.m. until now, she had only eaten two steamed buns for breakfast.

However, she was so emotional that all the energy in her body was burning. She hadn’t felt hungry at all.

It was already past two o’clock when she drove back to Huo Shaoheng’s official residence. She realized that she was famished.

She tossed the car keys to the orderly and asked nonchalantly, “Is Major General Huo back?”

Huo Shaoheng hadn’t returned the night before. Gu Nianzhi knew that he was definitely either in a meeting or on a mission, so she didn’t ask further.

The orderly quickly said, “He’s back. He’s resting upstairs.”

“Oh. ” Gu Nianzhi turned around but didn’t plan to go upstairs.

She wanted to let Huo Shaoheng have a good night’s sleep.

Gu Nianzhi walked into the kitchen and planned to cook something for herself.

Her return wasn’t convenient timing.

The orderly who cooked for Huo Shaoheng wasn’t at the official residence either. He must have gone out to buy groceries.

Even if he had been there, Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to trouble him with specially cook for her.

It would be a privilege to ask him to cook before dinner time.

Gu Nianzhi usually ate snacks and waited until dinner time before eating with everyone.

However, she didn’t want to eat snacks today. She wanted to eat some warm food.

She walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. She looked around but found that there were no leftovers. She couldn’t even make egg fried rice.

There was no need to think about instant noodles. Huo Shaoheng’s kitchen didn’t allow the presence of such unhealthy food.

However, there were frozen dumplings in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. She could use them to make fried dumplings.

Gu Nianzhi happily found a frying pan and imitated Huo Shaoheng by adding oil. She then placed the frozen dumplings into the pan and set them in order. She then poured a shallow layer of water over them that covered the area just below the dumplings.

She then turned the heat up.

Water vapor quickly filled the kitchen.

However, although the bottom of the dumplings was cooked, the top wasn’t.

Gu Nianzhi quickly added more water.

The fire turned the heat up again.

The steam spread through the kitchen again, and this time, there was even the smell of burning.

Gu Nianzhi was flustered. Trying to suppress the burning smell, she picked up the kettle and poured a large pot of water again.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The steam came out of the pan with oil stains and flowed onto the stove.

However, she had forgotten to turn down the heat.

This was not an induction cooker, but a gas stove.

The faint blue flame quickly rose and burned along the edge of the pan.

Gu Nianzhi was anxious and poured all the water from the kettle in her hand.

Boom!

A string of open flames was completely ignited. The flame was less than a centimeter away from the hair on Gu Nianzhi’s forehead.

The smoke alarm in the kitchen rang.

The smoke alarm in Huo Shaoheng’s official residence wasn’t an ordinary alarm. Its terminal was connected to the central control room and had the highest authority.

The moment the alarm rang, the entire garrison sounded the alarm.

The sirens rang out in the air above the garrison. Countless members of the Special Operations forces immediately dropped what they were doing and entered a state of first-degree combat readiness.

The suicide squad and the explosives team assembled in less than a minute and surrounded Huo Shaoheng’s residence.

Huo Shaoheng had only taken a nap in his bedroom when he was awakened by the alarm in his room.

He jumped out of bed instinctively and grabbed his clothes. He ran out and put them on.

When he reached the stairs, he saw the thick smoke billowing in his kitchen. A few orderlies were rushing in with fire extinguishers. His heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: this wasn;t good.

He almost jumped down the stairs from the second floor. He ran faster than the orderlies and rushed into the kitchen like lightning.

It was as he had expected.

Gu Nianzhi was holding a frying pan in one hand and a kettle in the other. She was fighting with the gas stove that was burning with faint blue flames!

Huo Shaoheng felt exasperated and amused. He embraced Gu Nianzhi from behind and threw her to the ground.

The orderlies who had followed them in had high-efficiency fire extinguishers on their backs as they sprayed at the gas stove.

Outside the official residence, the kamikaze and explosives team members who had rushed over were already fully armed and ready to storm the door.

Huo Shaoheng’s head of the orderlies, Fan Jian, was now covered in fire-fighting foam as he ran out of the house. He said to the kamikaze and explosives team members that were on high alert, “It’s fine, it’s fine! It’s a misunderstanding!”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was beaten down by the kamikaze squad leader, Zhou Qiyuan.

“We’ll see for ourselves if it’s a misunderstanding! Let’s go!” He gestured and led the kamikaze squad in first.

According to procedure, this was what they had to do.

This was because when the alarm sounded, they had to recognize no one but huo Shaoheng.

A group of people rushed to the official residence with guns in their hands. When they saw the thick smoke billowing from the kitchen, they immediately occupied all the safe corners of the living room. They set up their guns and covered Zhou Qiyuan and the other two members as they rushed into the kitchen.

Huo Shaoheng was standing up from the ground with Gu Nianzhi in his arms.

He looked up and saw a group of fully armed suicide squad members standing in front of him with guns in their hands. The corners of Huo Shaoheng’s mouth twitched.

Gu Nianzhi felt distraught. She buried herself in Huo Shaoheng’s arms and refused to lift her head.

Zhou Qiyuan looked at Huo Shaoheng and asked with concern, “Major General Huo, are you okay?”

Huo Shaoheng raised his hand helplessly. “I’m fine. It’s really a misunderstanding... take your men out first. I’ll be out in a moment.”

Zhou Qiyuan refused. “You go out first. We still have to check this place carefully. We’re not afraid of anything, we’re only afraid of what might happen.”

Of course, Zhou Qiyuan didn’t doubt Gu Nianzhi, but who knew if someone would use this opportunity to tamper with the house?

This was when the importance of procedures became apparent.

Everything was done according to the rules.

Even if there was nothing wrong, they had to treat it as if something was wrong and treat it as a drill.

A real battle drill, although the cause was very absurd...

Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to pick Gu Nianzhi up and quickly walk out of the kitchen.

The kitchen behind him was still emitting thick black smoke. He walked out of the thick smoke as if he had just walked out of a battlefield filled with gunpowder.

The other suicide squad members and the explosives team in the living room let out sighs of relief when they saw huo Shaoheng come out, but they still dared not be careless.

After all, Zhou Qiyuan hadn’t said anything yet, so they still had to maintain their combative state.

Five minutes later, Zhou Qiyuan came out of the kitchen and used his bluetooth headset to inform everyone, “All clear.”

This meant that the alarm had been lifted.

Gu Nianzhi had been in Huo Shaoheng’s arms the whole time and clinging to him like a koala.

When she heard Zhou Qiyuan say that everything was fine, she was just about to let go when she heard laughter coming from the living room.

The members of the suicide squad and the explosives team came out from every corner of the living room, thenclicked their tongues at Gu Nianzhi, who was in Huo Shaoheng’s arms. “Little Nianzhi, you’re really unsual! You’re going to be the wife of a major general, yet you dare set Major General Huo’s kitchen on fire! ——We aren’t easily impressed by anything, but you impress us!
