Huo Jialan appeared aloof as she was brought into the court by the bailiff, and couldn’t help freezing when she saw a navy suited Gu Nianzhi at the plaintiff’s defense bar table Her eyes quickly scanned through the courtroom, then she silently followed the bailiff to the witness stand Bai Jinyi’s side showed a disdainful look at Gu Nianzhi su Jinning all along because she thought Song Jinning was the one to cause her mother’s suicide If she suspected Bai Jinyi at all, she wouldn’t have treated Song Jinning so poorly The Bai’s were certain that Huo Jialan possessed no evidence and calmly waited for Gu Nianzhi to make a fool of herself

Gu Nianzhi allowed Huo Jialan to declare her identity in accordance to court procedures, then delved into the case “Miss Huo Jialan, may I ask if you accepted all the inheritance from your father, Huo Guanyuan and your mother, Luo Xinxue?”

Huo Jialan was especially stunning today, her luscious lips were in a coral lip color to , she tapped her bright red nail at the corner of her lips for a second and shot back at Gu Nianzhi, “Is my parent’s inheritance related to this case?”

“Of course” Gu Nianzhi calmly stared at her, “You just have to answer yes or no”

“The deceased’s inheritance is related to the case, the witness is to answer,” The judge also supported Gu Nianzhi

Gu Nianzhi s at Huo Jialan

Huo Jialan pursed her lips and seemed reluctant to say, “…Yes, and so what? They’re hter Who else would they leave their inheritance to?”

“I’ exactly?” Gu Nianzhi raised her brows in surprise at Huo Jialan’s unexpected attitude

The corners of Huo Jialan’s eyes twitched She panicked but was able to cal who have had anyone asking the saain and continued, “Since you’ve accepted all of Huo Guanyuan and Luo Xinxue’s inheritance, I want to summon two types of evidence from you –The request had already be approved by the court, here is the document” Gu Nianzhi lifted her hand a bailiff passed the approved document to Huo Jialan

“What kind of evidence?” Huo Jialan frowned The two attachs and an inventory of a will

“One is the inventory of Senior Colonel Huo Guanyuan’s belongings that the military had handed over to your mother after he suddenly perished in the lab experio Your mother also had this list, and the military kept a copy as well and stored it with Senior Colonel Huo Guanyuan’s file” Gu Nianzhi started with introducing the first list

Huo Jialan read it in silence then looked up at Gu Nianzhi for her to continue “The second list details your e of the docue screen,, “Luo Xinxue had listed all her personal and real properties, as well as important household items Please comply with the court’s request and present the ites and Luo Xinxue’s inventory of will to the court in order to assist the investigation”

Huo Jialan’s hand trehtly She forced herself to maintain composure and spoke in an even voice, “I had inherited o With so o ho you need to find them?” Gu Nianzhi looked at the two lists, “These are small items and there are not that many of them There are fewer than 50 items combined and most are pieces of jewelry on your mother Luo Xinxue inventory”In addition to the real estate, savings deposits Huo Guanyuan and Luo Xinxue had left behind, there were only a few small items

Huo Jialan was quiet for awhile, “I need two or three days to look…”

“Haha, I’ll give you two hours If you can’t find them, I’ll request a search warrant from the court and have your home searched directly” Gu Nianzhi did not hesitate to reject Huo Jialan’s request
