Chapter 1675: Enemies and Allies
Xie Qingying was wearing a smoky-gray dress. Her long hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head. There was not much decoration on her face, and the makeup on her face was exquisite. Just like when she appeared on the news, she showed a tremendous and intellectual style. She had a professional smile on her face. It was not overly enthusiastic, but it was not cold either. However, she still maintained a certain distance from others.
Because the essential characteristic of journalism was to be fair and maintain an objective perspective and mentality, people who were too emotional were not suitable to be journalists. They were fortunate to be actors.
Gu Nianzhi quickly swept her eyes across her face. Her gaze swept past the legal team members in front of the group of journalists and finally stopped on Wen Shouyi.
She had only caught a glimpse of Wen Shouyi's face and had not paid much attention to her appearance.
Now that Xie Qingying was here, and Wen Shouyi was wearing a smoky gray dress similar to Xie Qingying's. Gu Nianzhi suddenly noticed something interesting.
She noticed that Wen Shouyi looked a lot like Xie Qingying.
The two of them were completely different in the past.
However, Xie Qingying was the same as Gu Nianzhi. She was tall and slender, and Xie qingying was even more plump and steady.
Therefore, even though Wen Shouyi's face looked a little like Xie Qingying's, there was still a difference in her petite figure.
Gu Nianzhi's gaze scanned Wen Shouyi's face without restraint. She wasn't worried at all that Wen Shouyi would look at her.
Wen Shouyi did feel Gu Nianzhi's gaze.
She was very uncomfortable with that naked, provocative, and contemptuous gaze, but her status was different now. She wasn't an unknown nobody like Gu Nianzhi. Instead, she was now the Executive Director of the Qin group's private hospital group; she had already risen to the country's top with her abilities.
She had enough confidence and strength to ignore Gu Nianzhi's childish tactics.
Wen Shouyi calmly walked up and stopped three meters away from He Chengjian.
He Chengjiang's orderly had cordoned off the area, so it was not appropriate to cross this distance to He Chengjian's side.
He Chengjian glanced at her indifferently and said, "The military received a report that there are secret rooms hidden on both sides of your hospital wards. It is speculated that they are related to major general he's serious injury, so we want to investigate your building thoroughly."
Wen Shouyi smiled and said gently, "You can demolish someone's house just by reporting it? But, General He, when did you also disregard the law? If lawyer Qin were still alive, she would be so sad to see you like this."
Wen Shouyi had to admit that she knew the He father and son very well. Perhaps even Qin Yaoguang did not know them as well as she did.
Just as she slipped Qin Suwen out, He Chengjian's eyes flashed with hesitation.
However, he was still as genial as ever. His eyes were half-closed, and no one could see his emotions.
But he did not say anything.
Gu Nianzhi did not know why, but she could sense that He Chengjian's breathing seemed to have stopped.
She immediately stepped forward and retorted, "Director Wen must have become a director and become unfamiliar with the law. General He brought people to investigate the hospital and find the secret room thoroughly. How can you call the Law Nothing?"
Wen Shouyi completely ignored Gu Nianzhi. Instead, she continued to smile warmly and stared unblinkingly at He Chengjian.
He Chengjian was silent for a moment. Then, he chuckled lightly and said, "Lawyer Gu is my lawyer now. Whether or not I treat the law as nothing is not up to principal wen."
He turned his gaze to Gu Nianzhi and looked at her gently. Then, he encouraged her, "Lawyer Gu, it's up to you now."
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed. She had finally made a name for herself.
The smile on her face grew even more expansive. It was as beautiful as a begonia blooming in the early morning sun.
Wen Shouyi's expression changed, but she quickly calmed down. Finally, she nodded and said, "Okay, then may I ask why you are here to demolish our private house? Do you have a court order to demolish it?"
He Chengjian's secretary immediately handed a translucent folder to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi only had to look at the tiny labels on the folder to understand what was in it.
She held the folder in her hand, and she said lightly, "Director Wen, don't forget that this ward was the place where young master He was attacked. It was already the scene of the crime identified by the police. "Now that we're here as plaintiffs to search for evidence at the scene of the crime, are you going to stop us? Or are you hiding something? There are things on both sides of this ward that are not to be seen so that you won't let us in at all costs?"
"Second of all, which eye of yours saw that we were going to demolish the house? Did you see us with shovels or picks? Or did you see us with chainsaws and electric awls?"Gu Nianzhi waved her hand behind her back.
He Chengjian had just arrived at the door of the ward with two platoons of soldiers. They hadn't started searching for the secret room yet, so Gu Nianzhi had seized the loophole in Wen Shouyi's words and pushed her back.
Wen Shouyi pursed her lips, and she said earnestly, "I'm just reminding you that this is a private residence. Even if it's a crime scene, it's still the property of the Qin Private Hospital Group. It's not public property, nor is it state-owned. So please respect our private property rights."
Gu Nianzhi sneered and said, "The suspect has no personal freedom. Similarly, the crime scene doesn't have the right to exclude private property until the case is closed. Have you forgotten all this?"
Gu Nianzhi kept saying that this was a crime scene, and Wen Shouyi was furious.
However, He Chengjian had indeed called the police earlier. He said that He Zhichu had been attacked here, and the police had also officially filed a case. Although the people guarding and investigating here were not from the police but the military, the procedures were complete. Therefore, if one were to say that it was illegal.., it did not seem to make sense.
Wen Shouyi secretly regretted that she had come earlier. It would have been more effective if she had appeared when He Chengjian and the others were demolishing the house.
However, on second thought, if they had come late and the other party had found the two secret rooms...
So it would have been better for her to come earlier.
Wen Shouyi's complexion was slightly better; she said, "Okay, this ward is indeed a crime scene designated by the police. Please limit your activities to this ward. Other places are not crime scenes designated by the police. We still have the right to exclude others from our private property rights."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and looked behind Wen Shouyi. She smiled. "But, director Wen, it's one thing for you to bring your team of lawyers, but why did you call your friends from the media here?"
The staff of the new media was on steroids. They were frantically filming, ready to release an exclusive.
Wen Shouyi's expression was very intriguing; she said, "We are the people, and General He is an official. Since ancient times, the people have never fought with the officials. We wouldn't be able to defeat them even if we wanted to, so we can only ask our friends in the media to help us report this matter fairly and let public opinion monitor the government's actions."
Gu Nianzhi shook her slender white finger; she spoke quickly and urgently. "Director Wen, you keep saying that you think the government is persecuting you? But Major General He is being tortured to death in your territory. So tell me, who is persecuting who?"
"Also, our actions today are not the government's actions, but the military's handling of cases. "You've also been in the military before. The military has military laws, and all cases involving military personnel must be handled according to military laws. "Director Wen, are you old and forgetful, or are you just muddleheaded because you know what's going on?"
Wen Shouyi hated it when Gu Nianzhi used age as an excuse. She said coldly, "Anyway, the higher-ups are crushing people. Of course, you can say whatever you want now."
Gu Nianzhi's face darkened as well, and she said solemnly, "Dean Wen, you're dishonest. If you want to talk about the law, we'll talk about the law with you. But we talk about the law, and you say that we're crushing people with our higher-ups. Forgive me for being blunt, but if we wanted to crush people with our higher-ups, would there be a chance for you to stand here and talk nonsense with us?"
Gu Nianzhi's words made Wen Shouyi sound like a three-year-old child. Her face instantly turned red, and she almost flew into a rage out of humiliation.
At the same time, the staff of the new media had begun frantically uploading all kinds of videos and news to the Internet.
Wen Shouyi bribed many of them. The slightest change in the angle of the video and the way the news was written could immediately stir up the readers'emotions.
# chief of Military Affairs, He Mou, forcibly demolishes the Qin private hospital # # the two leaders of the Qin private hospital are in prison, the beautiful hospital director is struggling alone # gu X's lawyer is eloquent and full of lies, bullying others #
This series of topics immediately became trending topics.
Gu Nianzhi was still confronting Wen Shouyi, and He Chengjian's secretary had already received the news on the internet and couldn't help frowning.
He secretly sent the news to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi felt the vibration of her phone and took it out to take a quick look.
"Ha, my friends from the media are speedy to act."Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and stared at the group of new media practitioners; she calmly said, "All the new media outlets that have faked and fanned the flames on the Internet, wait for my lawyer's letter. I'm not a litigator, but once I do, I Won't stop until you've lost everything."
The most significant punishment for a media infringement case was financial punishment, especially the punitive clause. It worked every time.
Once Gu Nianzhi said that, most new media practitioners began to consider whether they should get involved in this muddy water.
A small number of people were Wen Shouyi's hardcore fans and immediately shouted, "It's illegal for you to threaten our reporters!"
"We reporters have immunity!"
They were right, but gu Nianzhi said firmly, "The law doesn't protect fake news. If you're lying, you'll still be sued!"
Xie Qingying then said unhurriedly, "Lawyer Gu, the media should be left to deal with the media. — I'm going to start the live broadcast now."As she spoke, she began to speak eloquently into the camera.
"Xie Corporation news report: Today, we're reporting a breaking news."
"We received an invitation from Dean Wen. He said that they were being suppressed by an unknown government force and hoped that the media would uphold justice for them."
"But when we arrived at the scene, we realized that the situation here was somewhat different from what Dean Wen had said."
"The Ancients said that if we listen to both sides, it would be bright, but if we listen to both sides, it would be dark. So let's hear what both sides have to say."
"Dear viewers, let's first interview the lawyer representing the 'government's unknown forces,' Gu Nianzhi."
Xie qingying walked up to Gu Nianzhi and handed her the recording microphone. "Lawyer Gu, May I ask why you're here at the Qin Private Hospital?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at Xie Qingying and saw that she was a little encouraging. Her heart skipped a beat. They were allies...
Gu Nianzhi immediately frowned; she said anxiously, "A few days ago, Major General He was attacked by an unknown force here. He's still unconscious, but there's nothing unusual from the surveillance video.". "Then we received a report that there was a secret room in this ward. So it might have something to do with Major General He being attacked in the ward."
"Oh? So there's a secret room? Can you point to the audience and show them which direction the secret room is?"
Xie Qingying's live broadcast had the most fans among the new media.
She had also started a live broadcast, and it quickly became a craze on the internet. The number of people watching the live broadcast had risen from a few hundred thousand to a few million and was approaching the ten million mark.
The topics that had just been trending on Weibo were immediately ignored and hung there alone. It was funny and laughable.
Gu Nianzhi calmed down slightly. She walked forward and arrived at the secret room on the left. She pointed at the greenery behind the sofa in the corner and said, "The reported location should be here."
Wen Shouyi's pupils constricted, and even her heart seemed to have stopped beating.
She hurried over and said discontentedly, "What are you doing?"
Xie Qingying turned back in time and said thoughtfully, "Dean Wen, are you going to stop us from investigating the truth with our audience?"
