<h4>Chapter 1324: Fatal Faux Pas</h4>


    Gu Nianzhi thought to herself, Luo Jin was indeed colluding with old Master Huo. There were even stiptions between the two of them...


    She immediately added fuel to the mes. “Miss Luo, that’s wrong of you. Could it be that you’ve even made stiptions towards old master Huo before? Not to mention that old master Huo is your elder, and you even call him ‘grandfather’. The Huo family had raised you for so many years, and everything you have was given by the Huo family. What right do you have to make stiptions with old master Huo? Besides, what do you mean by saying that? Don’t tell me you still want grandfather Huo to defend you, do you?”


    Luo Jin’s heart trembled when she heard that. She couldn’t help but think of her father Huo Guanyuan’s will that Huo Xuenong had mentioned before. She began to resent Huo Guanyuan inside.


    If he was so heartless, why did he want to marry her mother back then?!


    She had called him ‘father’ for so many years, yet he only left such little money for her and her mother!


    He indeed hadn’t treated her as a member of the Huo family. If that was the case, why should she cover up for the Huo family?


    Luo Jin raised her chin and narrowed her eyes. “Grandfather? Are you really that heartless? Aren’t you going to help me?”


    Huo Xuenong heard Luo Jin’s insinuations. She was going to reveal the secret deal between them in front of so many people.


    Huo Xuenong wouldn’t have cared if Xie Shenxing wasn’t there, but Huo Xuenong felt a little embarrassed with Xie Shenxing there.


    He thought about it for a moment and slowly raised his head, then said to Gu Nianzhi with a amicable expression, “Nianzhi, you have to forgive and forget. Stop being so aggressive. Jin knows she was wrong, so go easy on her and give her a way out. She won’t try to marry Shaoheng anymore, so you can rest assured.”


    He was insinuating that Gu Nianzhi was only targeting Luo Jin for Huo Shaoheng’s sake.


    Of course, this was also one of the reasons, but the nature of the entire thing hadpletely changed when Gu Nianzhi found out that Luo Jin had actually been conspiring with Aiko Yamaguchi.


    This was no longer a simple case of jealousy, but a matter of life and death.


    Gu Nianzhi wiped the smile off her face and said in a low voice, ” ... Does she really know that she was wrong? Miss Luo, would you dare swear that you didn’t know anything? That everything was Aiko Yamaguchi’s fault? That you were just an innocent victim?”


    “I Dare! ” Luo Jin immediately raised her right hand. “If I knew anything, I’ll... be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”


    “No, there’s no need for such an illusory oath.” Gu Nianzhi shook her head. “All you have to do is say that if you knew anything, you’ll bear all the corresponding legal consequences.”


    “Fine! I swear! If I knew anything, I’ll bear all the corresponding legal consequences!” Luo Jin repeated Gu Nianzhi’s words as if she was a parrot.


    “Alright, you can arrest her now.” Gu Nianzhi stepped aside to make way for the three special operation forces personnel. “She’s the mastermind behind the attempt on my life in Germany.”


    “What?!” Luo Jin waspletely bbergasted. She red at Gu Nianzhi and said fiercely, “How could it be me?! It was Aiko Yamaguchi! What’s wrong with you?! Was all that talk for nothing?! Do you not understand humannguage?!”


    “You’re the one who doesn’t understand humannguage, and you’re the one who’s deliberately trying to confuse everyone.” Gu Nianzhi looked at Luo Jin without backing down and took a step forward. She raised her chin slightly. Her gaze was calm and steady, and her vibe was overpowering. “You’re lying.”


    “I’m not! ” Luo Jin was flustered. She clutched her chest weakly and looked at Cai Shengnan. “Lawyer Cai, please help me! Please help me! You took my advance payment of six million US dors, and you’re just going to keep quiet?!”


    Cai Shengnan cursed Luo Jin inside. As she expected, she was indeed ming her, but she was also a little embarrassed that she pointed out that she wasn’t doing anything despite having epted the money, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “Lawyer Gu, you’re liable for what you say. Please don’t nder my client.”


    “My client made it very clear just now. She met Yamaguchi Aiko in France, and Aiko Yamaguchi was the mastermind behind everything. Whether it was trying to kill you or scheming against you, Aiko Yamaguchi was the one who did everything. It had nothing to do with my client.”


    “It really had nothing to do with her?” Gu Nianzhi’s face turned cold as she looked at Cai Shengnan. “May I ask,wyer Cai, if you can say something that is legally responsible. Did your client tell you the truth, and do you know the entire truth?”


    Cai Shengnan shut her mouth.


    Of course, she couldn’t say that.


    She hadn’t known anything about what Luo Jin said about Aiko Yamaguchi just now.


    The only thing she knew was that Luo Jin told her that she hadn’t transferred the money herself, but had helped her friend Yamaguchi Aiko with her business.


    She hadn’t even mentioned the nature of the business.


    ” ... you can’t guarantee that, can you?” Gu Nianzhi smiled and said slowly, “Lawyer Cai, don’t get involved. I advise you to return the six million dors in advance to Luo Jin, because you can’t defend her regarding this matter.”


    As Gu Nianzhi spoke, her cold gaze fell on Luo Jin’s pale face. “Luo Jin, are you still insisting that you’re the victim? That you were deceived by Aiko Yamaguchi?”


    Luo Jin nodded nkly and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m telling the truth. Why won’t you believe me?”


    “If you want others to believe your lies, you have to at least make your own lies sound usible.” Gu Nianzhi curled her lips and stretched out her slender and smooth finger and shook it. Her soft fingernails reflected the light of the ward. Luo Jin reflexively turned her head away and averted her gaze.


    “How did I lie? I don’t understand.” Luo Jin was puzzled. She had made things up pretty convingly...


    “You don’t understand? Then I’ll reluctantly exin it to you.” Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and chuckl lightly. “Luo Jin, you said Aiko Yamaguchi became your close friend in Europe and asked you to lend her money. Then she died at the hands of pirates in the Caribbean Sea, so the money you lent can’t be repaid, right?”


    Luo Jin quickly nodded. “Of course, of course. Look...”


    “Shut up!” Gu Nianzhi’s expression suddenly turned serious. “You’re still lying! I’ll tell you where your lies were exposed.”


    Luo Jin’s heart pounded. What exactly had gone wrong?


    Everything had been wless...


    “Because of the time, ” Gu Nianzhi said coldly. “You made up the wrong time when you were making up the lies.”


    Luo Jin suddenly seemed to remember something, and her expression changed. Her legs felt so weak that she could no longer stand up. She copsed in front of Huo Xuenong’s hospital bed.


    Gu Nianzhi took the arrest warrant from the Special Operations Forces member beside her. She took another step forward and looked down at Luo Jin. She felt immense psychological pressure when she saw the arrest warrant in front of her.


    “Luo Jin, you realize it don’t you?”


    “You said Aiko Yamaguchi was hunting me in Germany, but she died at the hands of pirates in the Caribbean.”


    “But the truth is, Aiko Yamaguchi tried to kill me in the Caribbeans, and she died at the hands of ‘pirates’ in May ofst year.”


    “Moreover, I fell in danger in Germany and was hunted down in September ofst year.”


    “Combined with what you said, then she ‘died’ in the Caribbean before and after she tried to kill me in Germany. ”


    “May I ask how a person who is already dead cane back from the dead and appear in Germany again?!”


    Gu Nianzhi’s tone grew more and more harsh, “You deliberately confused the sequence of events and misled everyone into believing that the transfer of money to York’s bank ount had nothing to do with you. It was a dead person who asked you to do it, so there would be no witnesses.”


    “You’re lying! Because you’re covering up the truth!”


    “The truth is that Aiko Yamaguchi never existed at all. You were the one who made yp the whole thing, weren’t you, Luo Jin?!”


    Gu Nianzhi’s tone was harsh, and she purposely ced all the me on Luo Jin alone.


    Of course, she knew that Aiko Yamaguchi was definitely in charge. Back in the Caribbeans, Gu Yanran had put on an act and killed the “middle-aged woman” that Yamaguchi Aiko had disguised as in the Caribbean. She thought that Yamaguchi Aiko was really dead.


    It was only when Luo Jin tried to clear herself of the “moneyundering” usation that Gu Nianzhi found out that Aiko Yamaguchi, or rather, Yoko Yamaguchi, hadn’t died in a car ident in Japan, nor had she died in the Caribbean Sea!


    This person was like a poisonous snake, hovering around her. When the time was right, she would give her another fatal blow!


    This time, Luo Jin had given herself away. Gu Nianzhi wouldn’t let this chance slip. She had to continue investigating.


    This was also why Huo Shaoheng had asked the special operations forces to take over the lead in this case from the imperial capital police.


    Aiko Yamaguchi, or Yoko Yamaguchi, wasn’t dead.


    She was also closely connected to the case where Gu Nianzhi was hunted down in Germany, and she even might have been the mastermind.


    With Gu Nianzhi and Gu Xiangwen’s contributions to the Huaxia Empire, the assassination attempt oon Gu Nianzhi was, of course, a threat to national security.


    On the other hand, Luo Jin was on the verge of breaking down.


    She had no idea that Aiko Yamaguchi had attempted to assasinate Gu Nianzhi in the Caribbean Sea and had even met her face to face.


    She only remembered that Aiko Yamaguchi said that her identity was very well hidden and that she had “died” at the hands of pirates in the Caribbean, so her n definitely wouldn’t be exposed.


    When Gu Nianzhi suddenly said that Aiko Yamaguchi had pursued and attempted to kill her in the Caribbean, Luo Jin vaguely felt that something was amiss.


    Only now did she realize that she hadpletely reversed the sequence of events.


    This was a fatal faux pas!


    How could she make up for this faux pas?!


    No, she wasn’t Aiko Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi Aiko’s crime could not be med on her.


    In a panic, Luo Jin said, “I don’t know why Aiko Yamaguchi didn’t die in the Caribbean Sea. I swear I met her in France! ”


    It was a pity. She had just been rejoicing that she didn’t leave any traces rted to Aiko Yamaguchi, but in the blink of an eye, she was racking her brains to prove that the two of them were conneced.


    How ironic!


    “Come on, just now you said she died in the Caribbean Sea. Did she herself tell you she died in the Caribbean sea?”


    Gu Nianzhi scoffed, but saw the corners of Luo Jin’s eyes twitch. Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood. It seemed that Aiko Yamaguchi had even told Luo Jin about this. In order to be friends with Luo Jin, she really was extremely honest with Luo Jin!
