<h4>Chapter 1776: Chapter 1776“The chosen one’s luck”(first and foremost, monthly votes)</h4>
That was right. The old man must have been talking about Qin su asking about her family’snd sale.
Gu Nianzhi’s palms were sweating. The teacup in her hands seemed to be on fire, burning her palms.
Gu Nianzhi quietly ced the teacup on the coffee table in front of her. She sighed softly and said,”... that’s such a pity. This is also fate. Why couldn’t they have waited another six months?”
“Yes, it’s all fate.”The old man nodded with emotion. “At that time, there was no news at all about the special economic zone that was to be established in the small fishing vige in Z city. Who would have known that the higher-ups woulde up with such a move?”
“We teach at the same school as him. His family’s rtives all emigrated abroad in the early years. You all know the situation when the country was first established. Anyway, he was the only one who decided to stay in the country.”. His family left the small fishing vige in z city to him as a token of their affection. It wasn’t worth much, but who knew he would sell it... sigh...”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes sparkled.
The old man didn’t seem to think Qin Huichang had any reason to sell thend.
“... then was your colleague in urgent need of Money?”Gu Nianzhi thought about what had been written on the official website of the Qin Private Hospital Group, at that time, the hospital’s founder, Qin Baye, had paid 30% more than the market price to buy thisnd.
He had also exaggerated that in order to get thisnd, Qin Baye had not only sold all of his family’s properties, but had also used up all of his savings, and had even borrowed a sum of money from loan sharks, he had just bought thisnd from the Qin Huichang couple, who had “Demanded a lot of money”.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi had figured out the hidden meaning behind the words “Qin Huichang and his wife”. The official website did not use such a direct description of the originalndowners, Qin Huichang and his wife.
They had only used a lot of space to describe how the couple had repeatedly made things difficult for them and raised the price, but Qin Baye had refused to give up. He had called them again and again, and only then had he “Moved”them. In the end, he had agreed to sell thend.
The style of writing in this description was very obvious. It was very demeaning to Qin Huichang and his wife. It made Qin Baye, the founder of thepany, look even taller and more powerful.
Gu Nianzhi’s question was very sharp. The old man was probably old and had a bad memory. He frowned and thought for a long time before saying, “I can’t remember. I think I do, but I don’t think I do...”
Gu Nianzhi:”...”
If there is, then there is. If there isn’t, then there isn’t.
If there is, then there isn’t. What does that mean?
Huo Shaoheng coughed lightly and said, “Can you exin it more clearly? There seems to be, what is the situation? If there isn’t, then what is the situation?”
The old man looked at Huo Shaoheng nkly, then looked at Gu Nianzhi. He had a feeling that there was, but he couldn’t remember why there was. They shouldn’t have needed money so urgently..
After a while, the old man looked embarrassed, he said in a low voice, “I’m getting old, I really can’t remember. I can’t tell what’s going on either. There’s only one girl in their family, and they’re both university professors. They have their own house, so they shouldn’t be short of money. But I vaguely remember that they were short of money...”
Gu Nianzhi was also confused.
But this old man was almost 90 years old. It was perfectly normal for him to not remember things from decades ago clearly.
She wanted to try harder and see if she could guide this old man to remember more, but Huo Shaoheng stopped her with his eyes.
“It’s okay. If you can’t remember clearly, don’t think about it anymore. We’re just curious, we’re just asking.”Huo Shaoheng changed the topic without batting an eyelid and pushed the muffin on the coffee table to the old man to eat.
The Old Man took a small muffin and chewed it slowly.
He no longer had teeth, and now he had dentures, so the taste was not obvious.
Gu Nianzhi could only sigh and say, “Then this family is really pitiful. The three of them died in a car ident just like that?”
The old man finished a muffin, wiped his hands with a tissue and said, “Oh, that’s not true. Their little girl survived. How Old was she at the time? Anyway, she was quite miserable, and waster adopted by the orphanage.”
Gu Nianzhi pretended to be surprised. “AH? Really? It’s been so long. Do you still remember?”
“How could I not remember?”The old man looked regretful, “I don’t remember their family’s situation, but I still remember their little girl. She used to be so cute and lively. She could speak well and even learned ballet. When she was young, she wore a pink tutu and came to our office with her father. She called US ‘uncle’and ‘Auntie’, and everyone was so happy!”
Gu Nianzhi suppressed the excitement in her heart and quickly said, “A cute little girl? I like her very much too! Do you have any photos of her when she was young? Can you show us how cute she is?”
The old man shook his head, he said regretfully, “No. It wasn’t easy to take photos back then. How could she take photos with her phone whenever and wherever she was like now? — she didn’te here many times. I still remember it because she was so miserable after that. Her entire face was burned by the fire and she looked like a ghost...”
The old man’s eyes turned red as he spoke, “It was even in the newspaper that year. Everyone was shocked, and it caused a huge sensation in society. “Many people went to the hospital to see the little girl. They sent her flowers, clothes, and food. Our faculty and Research Department even organized several donations. After they found out that she had an inheritance, everyone stopped donating.”
Gu nianzhi heaved a long sigh of relief. She had finally figured out one of the keys..
Therefore, Qin Baye became even more suspicious.
She and Huo Shaoheng continued to talk to the old man about other things. They only left when the old man was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep.
They left the nursing home together with the members of the street volunteer group and returned to their residential area. Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng found an excuse to sneak away. They took a few detours before returning to the penthouse in the west side.
Gu Nianzhi rushed to the bathroom as soon as she entered and washed off all the makeup on her face.
This kind of thing really hurt her skin.
Gu Nianzhi’s fair and delicate face was covered in small red rashes.
Huo Shaoheng took a tube of ointment and carefully applied it to every small red rash as he said, “We gained a lot today.”
Gu nianzhi grunted andy on Huo Shaoheng’sp. She closed her eyes and said, “I finally figured it out. If it really was Qin Baye and the others, why didn’t they just kill Qin Suwen?”
“He was seriously injured in a car ident and was sent to their orphanage. Killing him to prevent future trouble should be the work of a wily old fox.”
Huo Shaoheng also figured it out. He closed the lid of the ointment and ced it in the small medicine box, he said lightly, “The car ident back then must have be big news and Qin Suwen has be the focus of society’s attention. If they kill her again, I’m afraid that someone will find out that something is wrong and alert the enemy, causing trouble.”
“Yes, that’s the reason!”Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes and looked at Huo Shaoheng. “You’re thinking the same thing as me!”
Huo Shaoheng smiled slightly and looked at Gu Nianzhi’s fair little face, which was dotted with red spots and covered with ayer of white ointment. He actually didn’t find it ugly at all. Instead, he found it extremely cute and yful.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t look in the mirror and didn’t know what she looked like now. She sat up on Huo Shaoheng’sp and said excitedly, “So Qin Baye’s suspicion has increased by another level!”
“Basically, we can conclude that he’s the one who did it,”Huo Shaoheng said in a low voice. “What weck is direct evidence.”
Qin Suwen was stumped on this point back then, so he chose to “Stop the investigation,”right?
Gu Nianzhi stood up from the sofa and walked around the living room, starting to recount what they had learned.
“... First of all, Qin Baye must have taken a fancy to that piece ofnd and wanted to buy it.”
“Then he found the owner of thend and started to negotiate the price.”
“Qin Huichang and the others definitely didn’t want to sell it. From the looks of his colleague today, they didn’tck money either, but for some reason, they agreed to sell thend again.”
“And it wasn’t cheap, so I subjectively thought that Qin Huichang and the others must have needed money for something.”
“After selling thend, they returned to C city. ording to the memories of this old man, there should have been a car ident very soon. Qin Huichang and his wife died, and Qin Suwen was severely injured and disfigured.”
“Then, he was adopted by the orphanage in C city. Then, the director of the orphanage in C city was exposed for embezzling the properties of the orphans and was sent to prison. Five yearster, hemitted suicide in prison.”
“The orphanage in C city waster purchased by the Qin orphanage. Qin Suwen grew up in the Qin orphanage... until he went to university, when the young general he mistook Qin Yaoguang for Qin yaoguang because of her back view.”
Gu Nianzhi paused at this point and asked doubtfully,”... why does Qin Suwen’s back view look simr to Qin Yaoguang’s?”
Huo shaoheng stretched his long legs and sat on the sofa. His entire body was in the backlight. He rested his elbows on the armrest of the sofa and supported his chin with one hand, he thought deeply and said, “To be able to make he chengjian admit his mistake, the degree of simrity must be extraordinary.”
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t figure out how simr it was and was toozy to think about it anymore. She said, “I’ll ask young master he when I have the chance in the future.”
As his son, he would definitely be able to tell how simr he zhichu was.
Huo Shaoheng nced at her and said inly, “You think he zhichu is your consultant. If you have any questions, ask him.”
“He’s more than just a consultant. He’s my expert!”Gu Nianzhi blinked slyly. Seeing that Huo Shaoheng didn’t like her mentioning he zhichu, Gu Nianzhi changed the subject, she continued, “Let’s go back to the wholend purchase incident. We have some questions to resolve.”
“One, why did Qin Baye suddenly take a liking to that piece ofnd? Was it purely luck? He just bought this piece ofnd and was encircled in the Special Economic Zone half a yearter?”
“Two, why did Qin Huichang and the others not sell thend and agree to sell thend? What happened in between?”
“Third, why did Qin Suwen look so simr to Qin Yaoguang’s back? How simr was it? Was it purely a coincidence?”
“Look, we only listed three questions, and two of them are rted to ‘coincidence’. Tsk Tsk...”Gu Nianzhi scoffed, “Qin Baye and Qin Yaoguang are really going to heaven. This luck is simply ‘The chosen one’...”
