Hello, Mr. Major General Chapter 1371 - Exceptional Functioning

Chapter 1371: Exceptional Functioning

After the third message, there was a screenshot of a shared location. It was probably Gu Xiangwen’s whereabouts.
Luo Jialan’s enthusiasm instantly cooled down when she saw the three messages.
Was this really possible?!
She really didn’t believe it…
If someone had told her the whereabouts of her biological father on the condition that she give up her inheritance, she would have given them a few slaps and told them to get as far away from her as possible.
Similarly, Gu Nianzhi hated her so much so would she give up the chance to get rid of her greatest love rival for the sake of the whereabouts of a father she had never met?
Luo Jialan thought about it for a long time and finally replied to the number with a text message: [ Is that really okay? ]
However, the other party didn’t reply.
Luo Jialan waited until nightfall. She had no other choice but to try calling Gu Nianzhi’s phone number.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Luo Jialan’s number on her phone. She didn’t want to answer it, so she hung up and blacklisted her number.
When Luo Jialan tried calling Gu Nianzhi’s number again, the line would always be busy.
She understood that Gu Nianzhi had blacklisted her number.
Although she didn’t think that she could use Gu Nianzhi’s father’s whereabouts in exchange for her personal freedom, she couldn’t even find a lawyer at this point, so she could only use it as a last resort.
What if Gu Nianzhi was an idiot and agreed?
She would have nothing to lose.
Luo Jialan walked out of her room and borrowed her helper’s phone. She called Gu Nianzhi again.
Gu Nianzhi saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so she swiped it open and connected. It was still Luo Jialan.
“Lawyer Gu, there’s something I want to talk to you about. Are you free? Do you want to come to west mountain deer head restaurant for a meal and talk?” Luo Jialan suppressed her anger and asked apologetically and obsequiously.
Gu Nianzhi turned on the recording function and said calmly, “Let’s talk in court. I don’t think there’s anything between us that we need to talk about in private.”
“Lawyer Gu, don’t speak so harshly. If you speak too harshly, you’ll be slapped in the face,” Luo Jialan said meaningfully, and without waiting for Gu Nianzhi to object, she immediately added, “I heard that lawyer Gu has been looking for her biological father, Gu Xiangwen, haven’t you?”
Gu Nianzhi :”…”
Luo Jialan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Gu Nianzhi’s silence.
Could it be possible?
Was Gu Nianzhi really that stupid?
She felt more confident and smiled. Her voice softened. “Lawyer Gu, do you really not want to know about your father? Actually, I’m very sorry about what happened back then. I can apologize to Ms. Song. She’s fine now, so why are you still so stubborn? You want to please mother-in-law? If you have the time, you might as well please my second uncle…”
Gu Nianzhi’s thoughts raced, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Why would Luo Jialan suddenly say that she knew the whereabouts of her father, Gu Xiangwen?
This was too sudden…
Had someone been giving her advice from behind?
It wasn’t that Luo Jialan wasn’t smart enough to figure this out. It was just that the whereabouts of her father, Gu Xiangwen, was only known by a certain number of people at the moment.
Luo Jialan dared to come to her for a deal. Had someone found Luo Jialan?
Gu Nianzhi remained calm. She planned to hack into Luo Jialan’s phone to see who she had talked to.
But to her surprise, Luo Jialan’s phone seemed to have suddenly gained exceptional functioning, and she couldn’t get in!
Her little app was blocked by Luo Jialan’s phone from the system, and she couldn’t receive the other party’s signal at all…
That was interesting.
Gu Nianzhi sat in front of her desk and rested her chin on her hand. After a while, she said, “Miss Luo, I don’t think you know where my father is. Given your habit of lying, I have no reason to believe you. Goodbye.”
She was about to hang up the phone.
Luo Jialan panicked. “Hey! Don’t hang up! I’m telling you, I do have news of him. As long as you agree…”
Gu Nianzhi tapped her fingers lightly and hung up on Luo Jialan. She then blocked her number because she didn’t want her to continue harassing her.
Luo Jialan flew into a fit of rage. She returned to her room and sent a long text message to the number. The main reason was to complain that the other party was unreliable. Who would agree to such a condition? If it were her, she wouldn’t agree either.
She didn’t know if the person behind the number was also angry with her. She hadn’t wanted to talk to her at first, but after reading her long text message, she actually replied to her message.
[ if Gu Nianzhi doesn’t agree, you can find someone else, like Song Jinning. ]
The person then attached a draft of an academic paper to the text message. She said: [ Give this to Song Jinning as well. She will contact you.]
Luo Jialan understood that she was asking her to negotiate with Song Jinning directly.
But would Song Jinning agree to it?
After much thought, she felt that Song Jinning should be easier to talk to than Gu Nianzhi.
She remembered that Song Jinning had always been kind and forgiving.
Luo Jialan thought about it for a while and tried to send half of the draft of the academic paper to Song Jinning.
Five minutes later, Song Jinning called.
“Luo Jialan? You sent me the draft of the academic paper?” Song Jinning asked in confusion, “Where did you get this paper? What do you mean?”
It was a set of data, the same category as the experiment that Song Jinning was simulating with a computer.
Although it wasn’t exactly the same, it had a strong reference value.
However, Song Jinning disdained “plagiarizing” other people’s data.
If it was a publicly published paper, it was fine to refer to it, as long as the source was cited.
But this was obviously a draft, and not publicly published.
So as soon as she saw this draft paper, Song Jinning immediately called to ask about it.
Luo Jialan laughed. “Second aunt, do you think it’s useful?”
Song Jinning frowned impatiently. “Luo Jialan, it’s against the law to plagiarize the results of other people’s experiments. Don’t break the law yourself and drag others down with you. I’ve already deleted the draft of your paper, so don’t play any more dirty tricks.”
Luo Jialan was almost at a loss for words.
Just as Song Jinning was about to hang up, Luo Jialan quickly added, “Even if you’re not interested in the paper, are you not interested in the whereabouts of Gu Nianzhi’s father?!”
Song Jinning froze for a moment. “The whereabouts of Gu Nianzhi’s father? You mean the great physicist Gu Xiangwen?! You know where he is? This draft is his?!”
It sounded like Song Jinning was more interested in the whereabouts of Gu Nianzhi’s father than Gu Nianzhi herself was…
Thinking that it was actually useful, Luo Jialan pursed her lips.
She calmed herself down, then said calmly, “Of course I know. I can tell you, but I have one condition. You tell her to drop the charges against me, and I’ll tell you. Think carefully. Don’t drag this out on purpose. Think about it. If you miss it, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. Gu Nianzhi refused to agree to my conditions in order to please you. But do you have the heart to watch them, father and daughter, stay separated?”
Luo Jialan knew nothing about Gu Xiangwen’s situation.
This was highly confidential information in the Special Operations Forces.
She had only said these things to trick the other party.
Song Jinning knew she was bluffing, but she didn’t agree rashly, nor did she reject her outright like Gu Nianzhi had. She only said, “I need to think about it. I don’t know anything about the law. Give me two days, and I’ll give you an answer.”
Luo Jialan saw that it was really going to work. She chuckled. “One day. I’ll give you one day at most.”
Song Jinning hung up and immediately called Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng was listening to the reports from the surveillance team.
They had been monitoring Luo Jialan’s phone. They had just heard her talking to Song Jinning on the phone about Gu Xiangwen’s whereabouts.
They didn’t monitor the phone call Luo Jialan had made to Gu Nianzhi from someone else’s cell phone.
They hadn’t been alarmed until Luo Jialan had called Song Jinning again from her own phone.
