Hello, Mr. Major General Chapter 1412 - Taking Over Possessions

Chapter 1412: Taking Over Possessions

Gu Yanran was flabbergasted. Her hand was clenched into a fist, and she could not hide her surprise. “How do you know about the quantum communicator? You even know where it is…”
“is it at the ‘Angel in the World’ Foundation?” Gu Nianzhi interrupted Gu Yanran and continued, “Huh huh, you’ve really been in prison for a long time.”
Huo Shaoheng turned around and said calmly, “You can’t go online here. Other than reading the newspaper and watching TV for an hour every day, there is no other opportunity to interact with the outside world.”
“No wonder.” Gu Nianzhi’s nerves calmed down a little.
She looked at Gu Yanran, and said word by word, “You probably don’t know that I’m fighting a lawsuit against the ‘Angel in the World’ Foundation in Japan to recover your illegal gifts. I just won the lawsuit, and their foundation went bankrupt. I’m taking over everything.”
“What?!” Gu Yanran screamed and stood up with her hands on the table. “You want to reclaim even the things you donated to a charity?! Gu Nianzhi, do you have to be so ruthless?!”
“I’m Ruthless?” Gu Nianzhi sneered and turned her head, “A foundation like ‘Angel in the world’ that does all kinds of heinous things under the guise of a charity; if I put even a penny more there, I’ll be aiding the wicked! “Gu Yanran, oh, no, Naoko Kasahara, don’t worry about how I will spend my money.”
Gu Yanran finally realized that she had indeed suffered a crushing defeat. Not only had the Gu family’s remaining assets been taken by the woman in front of her, but she had also recovered all the assets that she had transferred out.
Was there anything in this world that she could not do?
Gu Yanran’s face was pale. She sat down dejectedly, her face deadpan. She looked even more dispirited than when Gu Nianzhi had beaten her up in the dark.
Huo Shaoheng motioned for Gu Nianzhi to keep quiet.
They waited quietly for a few minutes until Gu Yanran’s psychological defense was on the verge of breaking down. Only then did Gu Nianzhi ask again, “How did you receive the information from the quantum communicator? How many quantum communicators do you have at home?”
Gu Yanran pursed her lips and rolled her eyes dully. She said, “… There’s only one. I received information with my cell phone. That thing is already in your hands, haven’t you used it before?”
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. “That quantum communicator is broken. It can’t be used at all.”
“It’s still broken?” Gu Yanran was startled. “It shouldn’t be. Haven’t they fixed it yet?”
“What do you mean ‘still’? Did It break long ago?” Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on?”
Gu Yanran lowered her head, a trace of panic and ruthlessness flashing through her eyes.
She stammered, “… it’s… It’s just that after receiving the news about Gu Xiangwen seven years ago, it somehow broke down. I gave it to the foundation hoping that they could find a craftsman to fix it.”
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her forehead speechlessly. After a while, she said, “Do you think a quantum communicator is a clock? Finding a skilled craftsman to fix it… why didn’t you say that you would find a Luban to build an aircraft carrier out of wood? Do you think ordinary skilled craftsmen would know what a quantum communicator is?”
Gu Yanran bit her lip and kept her head down. “I don’t know. Anyway, they have many capable people.”
Gu Nianzhi chuckled.
Those people were clearly stealing and snatching other people’s things, and somehow just like that, they had “many capable people’.
Indeed, there were a lot of “capable people” who were thick-skinned and ruthless.
Huo Shaoheng could see that Gu Yanran was still not speaking the truth. He remained calm and changed the topic. “What about the staff on the submarine? Why didn’t I see any of them?”
This was an easy question to answer.
Gu Yanran secretly sighed, and quickly said, “Don’t you have that submarine? If you go up to take a look, you will know that the design of the submarine is very advanced and sophisticated. Back then, my father… back then, Gu Xiangwen had designed a highly automated submarine control system. This way, only two people were needed to operate the entire submarine, so there were no other crew members.”
Gu Nianzhi’s thoughts involuntarily drifted to the holographic virtual human figure, and she somewhat understood.
Gu Yanran actually did not know much about submarines and computers.
What she said was only to recount Gu Xiangwen’s original intention in designing submarines.
But Gu Nianzhi was different; her skills in computers were very high.
She immediately understood Gu Xiangwen’s design concept.
The so-called “Highly automated submarine control system” was actually mainly based on AI, or artificial intelligence.
The operating system on the submarine should be operated by artificial intelligence according to established procedures.
In other words, there were never other workers on the submarine. There were only Gu Xiangwen and his wife.
Gu Nianzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
She really did not want anyone else to die because of the Gu family.
“Do you believe me now? Can you let me out already?”
Gu Yanran told them everything she could. Seeing that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng’s expressions were relaxed, she quickly asked, “Your assets have been recovered, and I haven’t done anything outrageous. I didn’t know what the foundation was like, I was just doing charity work. Besides, I’m not a citizen of Huaxia to begin with. It’s against international law for you to keep me here!”
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. “Gu Yanran, I advise you to keep your mouth shut if you don’t know what you are talking about. Do you know what international law is? For a despicable person like you who has stolen others’ property, what right do you have to invoke international law? You really don’t know your place.”
Gu Yanran felt as if someone had smashed her face violently with a hammer.
Her expression changed abruptly, and she giggled. She pointed at Gu Nianzhi and said, “Take over someone else’s property? Hahahaha, that’s a good point! I’d like to see how you end up! Just jump! The higher you climb, the harder you fall!”
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t be bothered with her curses. She ran her fingers through her hair impatiently and said, “Okay, wait until we’re gone before you cast a curse on me. I’d like to ask the third question now…”
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to say anything else. If you still want to force me, then I’ll have to continue making up stories.”
Huo Shaoheng stood next to Gu Nianzhi without saying a word. He didn’t seem to care about her at all like he did a moment ago, and didn’t mention anything about letting her go.
Gu Yanran finally understood that she had been played by Huo Shaoheng. She was angry and anxious, and she leaned back in her chair like she had nothing to lose, ignoring Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi asked another question from another angle, but Gu Yanran simply closed her eyes.
The corners of her mouth curved into a disdainful sneer, which made Gu Nianzhi want to hit her.
There would be no result if she continued to ask.
Huo Shaoheng coughed lightly.
He actually had the means to force Gu Yanran to continue speaking, but just like Gu Yanran said, if she made up a story, would they believe it or not?
Because it was different from other situations, the things that Gu Yanran said about Gu Xiangwen were almost only known to her, and many of them could either not be verified or were very troublesome to do so.
So he had been baiting Gu Yanran with a carrot of “leniency by confession”, hoping that one day she would not be able to resist and confess everything.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not let Gu Yanran experience what it meant to “live a life worse than death”…
Huo Shaoheng held Gu Nianzhi’s hand. “Okay, let’s go. You don’t have to bother with people like her. Don’t come to places like this anymore.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded obediently. “Okay. Let’s go back then.”
The two of them walked out of Gu Yanran’s sight, hand in hand.
Gu Yanran looked up just in time to see the back view of the couple in front of her. She was jealous and envious, and her nose ached. She threw herself on the conference table and started sobbing.
She had lost everything. She had nothing left …
She had everything and had wealth that could rival a country. Not only was she revered in Barbados, but she was also a distinguished guest of many upper-class families in Europe and the United States…
But now?
She was overcome with grief and cried her heart out.
After crying hard for a while, her tears were almost dry.
She looked up from the conference table. She had no more tears, and instead a sinister smile hung on her lips.
Even though she had nothing left, some people shouldn’t be complacent too soon!
At that moment, the door to the room was pushed open again. A female prison guard said to her, “Number 38, back to your cell.”
Gu Yanran stood up, a trace of forbearance and hatred flashing in her eyes.
…
Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng back to his official residence from the secret base where Gu Yanran was being held. She was feeling a little down.
She had not been able to get the answers she wanted, and Gu Yanran had ruined her mood.
She returned to her room and lay on the sofa, sulking. She was lost in her thoughts as she looked out of the French window.
It was early summer, and there was a huge Royal poinciana that was like a giant tea-red umbrella outside the window.
She tilted her head and looked at it for a while. She saw that there seemed to be a small bird’s nest near the top of the tree. She got up from the sofa, went to the window, opened the French window, and walked out.
There was a small balcony outside her room.
The colorful Royal poinciana extended its branches and covered half of the balcony.
Gu Nianzhi caressed the Royal poinciana’s dazzling flowers and looked at the thick canopy that looked like a red cloud. Her eyes flashed.
The Royal poinciana was probably a tree that grew in the tropics. The Phoenix Tree in the imperial capital was already an enhanced species.
Her heart seemed to be slightly lifted by a palm as she looked at the Phoenix Tree. She couldn’t help but climb up the balcony railing and up the tree branch.
…
Huo Shaoheng was in his study dealing with business for a while before he came out for lunch.
Although he was on vacation, it was impossible for someone in his position to completely ignore his work for 30 days.
Therefore, whenever he was free, he would check his email.
He pushed open Gu Nianzhi’s door but saw that the room was empty. The French windows were opened, and the muslin curtains hung to the side. The wind blew gently, and the white muslin swayed gently in the wind.
There was a thin blanket lying haphazardly on the sofa as if someone had been sleeping there just now.
Huo Shaoheng’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily.
He felt an inexplicable nervousness in his heart.
“Nianzhi?” he called out, but no one answered him.
He quickly walked around Gu Nianzhi’s suite.
The bedroom, bathroom, study, and even her storage room and cloakroom had all been checked, but there was no sign of her.
Even though he knew that nothing would happen to Gu Nianzhi at the headquarters of Special operations forces, Huo Shaoheng still frowned.
He remembered the half-open floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and hurried out of the bedroom into the living room. He walked past the floor-to-ceiling windows and stood on the balcony. He called out again, “… Nianzhi?”
A chuckle came from the center of the flamboyant Royal poinciana.
Huo Shaoheng took a closer look. It turned out that Gu Nianzhi was sitting in the middle of the Royal poinciana with her hands on her knees, dressed in white. She was looking at him with a playful smile.
