Hello, Mr. Major General Chapter 1719 - Give No Chance to the Trolls

Chapter 1719: Give No Chance to the Trolls

Lu Jin looked at Gu Nianzhi, touched. His daughter was so nice to him that even she would even go against her own mother for his sake.
He held Gu Nianzhi’s hand and advised her seriously, “Qin Yaoguang is your mother after all. It’s better not to have a public falling out with her and leave her for me to deal with, lest others say that you’re UNFILIAL.”
The other three people in the room fell into a strange silence.
None of them expected to hear the word “filial” or “unfilial” from Lu Jin.
Lu Jin had gone so far in science that they often felt that he had gone beyond the ethical boundaries of ordinary people.
How could such secular words as those come out of his mouth? It was too out of place.
Lu Jin turned his head and realised that they were all staring at him, so he glared back at them, he said, “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong? No matter what, Nianzhi was born of Qin Yaoguang. Even if Qin Yaoguang is an unpardonable traitor, if Nianzhi were to deal with her personally, for sure there will always be people who will comment about it.”
Actually, he was feeling a little guilty and had no choice but to use this kind of reason that he did not care about to cover it up.
Lu Yuan rubbed his temples, feeling really tired.
In front of Gu Nianzhi, Lu Jin could be considered a great father who was extremely considerate. He could even consider the smallest details.
“You said that she was a gangster. Why bother with those people? If they want to comment, let them comment. Who cares about them?” Gu Nianzhi said.
Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly.
“That won’t do. Even if they’re trolls, they can’t talk about my little girl.” Lu Jin waved his hand without hesitation. “I am not giving them any chance.”
“My girl is amazing! She is the best in anything! — I won’t accept any rebuttal!”
He defended Gu Nianzhi righteously and would rather face all the attack and vilification himself.
Gu Nianzhi was a crybaby, hearing what he has said, she was now crying all she could.
Huo Shaoheng couldn’t stand it anymore. He walked over to Lu Jin’s specially made tissue on the coffee table and handed it to him. “Why are you crying on the first day of the New Year? Aren’t you Huaxia people the most particular about luck?”
“This is called crying from extreme joy. Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know anything about it, you Soviets.” Lu Jin took the tissue from Huo Shaoheng confidently and wiped Gu Nianzhi’s tears.
His movements were so gentle as if he was doing the most delicate and fragile biological experiment.
Lu Jin’s words put Gu Nianzhi smiled through tears. She was so excited that she couldn’t think properly. It was only when Huo Shaoheng sat down next to her that she calmed down.
Huo Shaoheng didn’t have to say or do anything. As long as he was by her side, she would be able to develop boundless courage and confidence.
Gu Nianzhi cleared her throat.
She had cried too many times today, and her voice was truly hoarse.
However, she still said to Lu Jin with her hoarse voice, with great caution, “Dad, this is not a question of filial piety, nor is it a question of confronting a troll. To me, that is not the point.”
“But to me, it is the point” Lu Jin muttered, but immediately nodded at Gu Nianzhi. “Then what do you think is the point?”
“What I concern is that we do have to deal with Qin Yaoguang, but we have to deal with her through legal means. I don’t want my father to risk breaking the law for me.”
“Your daughter is a barrister. If you break the law, how am I going to stand as one? I might as well ask the Bar Association to revoke my law license.”
Gu Nianzhi had used her career as a stake to bet that Lu Jin would disregard her interests and career prospects.
Lu Jin did not buy it. He said unhappily, “How did I break the law? Did I ever break the law when it came to Ishihara Baisan’s case? Tell me, did I force him to plagiarize? Or did I personally cut his stomach open with a knife?!”
Gu Nianzhi patted the back of his hand and comforted him, “Of course you did a great job for Ishihara Baisan’s case. But if Mr. Peter did not step in and help you to clean up the mess, and if Ishihara hired a good lawyer, this could be a lawsuit that worth a fight.”
Lu Jin glanced at Huo Shaoheng and didn’t say a word.
Gu Nianzhi thought she had convinced him, so she smiled and said, “Alright, then I would forgo my New Year celebration this year. Instead, I’ll start preparing now, and when the court reopens after the 15th day of the New Year, I’ll take it down once and for all!”
Lu Jin’s eyes widened, he couldn’t help but get worried. “Don’t think it’s that easy! Do you know how much financial power and influence the Qin Corporation has? Do you know how high Qin Yaoguang’s reputation is internationally? Do you know how many lives of influential people she has saved over the years?!”
In other words, Gu Nianzhi had to deal with Qin Yaoguang through legal means. The first thing she had to face was the entire Qin corporation, but not her alone.
Gu Nianzhi curled the corners of her lips and said confidently, “If I am not going to take down the entire Qin Corporation, would I, the great lawyer Gu, be needed?”
Her self-confident and narcissistic expression was exactly the same as Lu Jin’s.
Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan looked at each other and smiled, finally relaxed.
Lu Jin’s eyes were still sparkling, but he did not continue to argue with Gu Nianzhi. He only nodded. “Okay okay, I believe that my girl is the best!”
Gu Nianzhi observed Lu Jin’s expression and realized that Lu Jin still did not fully believe her.
However, that was not important. Lu Jin would believe her once she was in the court.
As for whether it was “unfilial” for her as a daughter to bring her own mother to justice, Gu Nianzhi did not have that in mind.
Subconsciously, she did not see Qin Yaoguang as her biological mother at all.
It was just like how Qin Yaoguang did not see her as her own daughter.
So what is so big that she gave birth to her?
During the four years where she had used her for experiments, Gu Nianzhi felt that she had already paid her back fully.
Just like Nezha, she had already repaid her for the debt of her birth, using her “flesh and bones”.
..
For the next fourteen days, Gu Nianzhi did not go anywhere but she hid in her study room to study all the information about the Qin Private Hospital Group.
However, she got nothing much even after fourteen days.
After all, the Qin Private Hospital Group was a public listed company. Even if it had illegal activities in the past, the evidence would have been cleared up by the time it was listed.
What had to be destroyed had already been destroyed, and what had to be made up for had already been made up.
It was indeed very difficult to get their hands on the company’s management.
However, Gu Nianzhi was a person who became braver with every setback.
If it was too easy for her to find a loophole, she would not be convinced too.
On the 15th day of the New Year, Gu Nianzhi finally put down all her work and came out to celebrate the Lantern Festival with the others.
Huo Shaoheng had not been at her house for the past ten days. Instead, he had gone back to the Soviet Consulate General in C city.
He had just flown from C city to the Imperial Capital today.
Lu Jin had been closely watched by Lu Yuan for the past ten days, and had not had the opportunity to go out and move around freely.
However, he was able to keep his composure. Besides, he really wanted to see how Gu Nianzhi would fight the lawsuit related to Qin Yaoguang. He wanted to take the initiative to stand up for Gu Nianzhi when necessary to resist the pressure of public opinion, so he put on a relaxed posture, and he cherished the days he spent with Gu Nianzhi.
After Gu Nianzhi washed up, she put on her custom-made light cherry pink Chanel cashmere dress that Lu Jin bought for her. She also put on her high boots and got into the car with Lu Jin, Lu Yuan, and Huo Shaoheng in high spirits. She planned to go to Xiangxuehai, the most upscale and mysterious clubhouse in the capital, for dinner and to admire the lanterns.
All of them had been to this place, except for Lu Jin.
However, Lu Jin wasn’t very interested. He mumbled, “I might as well roast some meat at home.”
As for admiring the lanterns, Lu Jin could have done it through browsing the internet.
Gu Nianzhi ignored him and said, “Dad, I’ve never seen a lantern festival here.”
Lu Jin immediately changed his words and smiled. “Okay, let’s go and see the lanterns!”
Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng were already used to Lu Jin’s double standards by now. One of them was driving in the front seat while the other sat in the passenger seat. They did not speak to each other.
Whereas Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were gossiping non stop in the back seat.
“Dad, this invitation was sent by Young Master He. It’s a free VIP card. It’s a waste not to go.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and showed Lu Jin Xiangxuehai’s VIP card.
He Zhichu was quite generous. He gave her four VIP cards in one go, and one of them was a long-term VIP card. She could have a visit in the future and spend it all for free.
The other three VIP cards were only one day pass.
Lu Jin glanced at it and nodded, “That’s more like it.”
He continued to ask, “Will He Zhichu and He Chengjian be there today?”
“Young Master He sent me a text message saying that the General He won’t be there because he’s attending the Military Lantern Festival and won’t be able to go to Xiangxuehai.”
Gu Nianzhi searched through the text messages from He Zhichu over the past few days and said to Lu Jin, “Actually, Young Master He won’t be there either. He said that he’ll be on duty today on behalf of his colleagues and asked Cousin Xie to take good care of us.”
“It’s the Lantern Festival today. What’s he on duty for?” Lu Jin curled his lips contemptuously. “To him, he could easily decide whether he want to be on duty or not.”
“Dad!” Gu Nianzhi covered Lu Jin’s mouth in a hurry, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Don’t say it out even you know about it. Then, we could continue to be good friends.”
Lu Jin pulled her hand down and said with a smile, “It is for my girl. Today, my mouth is sealed.” He then made a zipper gesture at the side of his mouth to indicate that his mouth was “sealed”.
Gu Nianzhi smiled. “Dad, aren’t you going to talk to me?”
“You the only exception to the rule.” Lu Jin patted Gu Nianzhi on the shoulder and threw a smug look at the front seat.
Lu Yuan happened to be looking at the car in the rearview mirror. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he saw the smug and arrogant look in Lu Jin’s eyes.
He didn’t want to say anything at first, but now he couldn’t help saying, “There’s a car following us. It’s been following us since we left the apartment.”
