Chapter 1315: Opportunities Are For Those Who Are Prepared
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, “You’re exaggerating. I’m not that impressive. I just wanted to use the most efficient and quick way to stall time. ”
Although she knew very well that Luo Jialan’s money was most likely “paying or an assasination, ” she still needed to provide other evidence for the court to decide whether to freeze it or not.
That would be too slow.
Only the accusation of “money laundering” could be immediately used to freeze the funds of the other party as long as they provided a suspicious transfer certificate.
The investigation could continue slowly, but the money couldn’t be used for the time being.
The fund specialist rubbed his hands excitedly. “Good! That’s a good reason! It’s legal! When are you going to file an application with the Swiss court?! I guarantee that you’ll file the application first, and I’ll have the fund custodian freeze all the principal and income after that!”
Gu Nianzhi looked it up on the internet and said, “Wait a minute. It’s midnight in Switzerland, and no one will accept my application even if I want to file it.”
The fund specialist nodded repeatedly. “It’s okay. Send us a message when your application is ready. We’ll send someone to wait here 24 hours a day. I guarantee it won’t delay your business! ”
The fund specialist was particularly productive because the Xie family’s two powerful figures were present.
Gu Nianzhi agreed and said, “Then I’ll go prepare my application to the Swiss court. I’ll be leaving now! —— Granduncle, bye bye. I can’t accompany you to the West Mountain Villa anymore. ”
Xie Shenxing smiled and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. I’ll stay here with you. You go ahead and get to your business. We’ll go together after you’re done.”
He had made up his mind to spend more time with Gu Nianzhi.
On the other end of the video call, Xie Beichen was full of praise. “Little Nianzhi is going to be very impressive in the future. Come to our place and stop hanging out with Shaoheng. Come to uncle’s place. You can pick any pretty boy you want, and a different one each day.”
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips and said in a low voice, “Uncle, I’m right here.”
“Oh, are you jealous? What a rarity. Hahahaha… ” Xie Beichen laughed cheerfully and said goodbye to everyone.
After the video call was cut off, Xie Shenxing took out his phone and continued to talk to Huo Shaoheng.
“Shaoheng, little Nianzhi is such a treasure. You’re so lucky!” Xie Shenxing clicked his tongue. “If you hadn’t made the first move, I would have kidnapped her to Europe and made her my own granddaughter-in-law! ”
“Your granddaughter-in-law? ” Huo Shaoheng was speechless. “Wake up, you already have several great-grandchildren. Do you still need a granddaughter-in-law? Our Nianzhi doesn’t want to marry a man who had been married before.”
Xie Shenxing thought about it and realized that it was true. All of his grandchildren of the right age were already married, and some of them weren’t even 10 years old. The age difference was too great.
He had some distant relatives who were of the right age, but Xie Shenxing wouldn’t bear to see such a good girl like Gu Nianzhi marry a distant relative of the Xie family.
If that was the case, she might as well marry Huo Shaoheng. After all, he was his biological sister’s grandson.
“Alright, alright. I know how much you treasure your little fiancée.” Xie Shenxing scratched his head. “I’m going to watch TV. I haven’t been back in a long time. I still need to familiarize myself with the situation in the country.”
Huo Shaoheng: ” … ”
..
Gu Nianzhi returned to Huo Shaoheng’s suite and immediately turned on her computer. She used her phone to send a message to Xie Beichen, asking him to fax the evidence of the fund transfer to her.
She downloaded the procedure for filing a petition from the Swiss court’s website, then started to fill out the form, write the petition, and list the evidence.
For law students, this was all paperwork. As long as they had a certain level of legal literacy, and were careful and patient enough, it would be enough.
However, Gu Nianzhi still made a very detailed filing kit for insurance purposes. From the cover letter to the list of evidence, everything was done in an orderly manner.
She spent the entire morning and finally faxed her complaint to the Swiss court when it was just starting its work.
For the time being, the Swiss court’s complaint couldn’t be submitted in electronic form. It had to be written in paper form. Besides the letter, faxing also had legal effect.
Her complaint was detailed and well-organized.
It took almost no time for the clerk of the court to organize the records and submit them to the judge.
Because it was an expedited complaint related to “money laundering, ” the judge immediately accepted it.
After carefully looking at the complaint and the evidence listed in Gu Nianzhi’s file, the judge quickly agreed to file the case and issued a legally binding freezing order to the trust fund.
Therefore, it only took two hours for the court to issue a freezing order to the trust fund in Switzerland after Gu Nianzhi had sent the fax.
The fund specialist who had been guarding the trust fund didn’t expect to receive an email from Gu Nianzhi, but a direct freezing order from the court!
This meant that not only had Gu Nianzhi’s complaint been accepted immediately, but it had also been approved immediately!
This was a qualitative leap for the Swiss court, which was slow and often had a case lined up for several years.
The senior manager of the fund custodian looked at the freezing order, dumbfounded, he asked the fund specialist, ” … What’s going on? Yesterday, the fund owner, Ms. Huo, asked to change the beneficiary as quickly as possible. How did she get frozen today?”
“I’m afraid it was frozen because she wanted to change the beneficiary.” The fund specialist said with a smile and showed the court’s freezing order to the man. “This is the court’s order. You have to execute it immediately.”
“That’s not a problem. With the court’s order, what are we afraid of?” The man said with a cheeky smile, “If it’s frozen she can’t redeem it… ”
“Hehe…”
…
In the afternoon, Luo Jialan felt her eyelids twitching for no apparent reason. She rubbed her eyes and walked to Huo Xuenong’s ward. She said softly, “How’s it going over there? Have you finished the identification documents?”
” … They’ll come to see me soon. I’ll ask them to give you a copy of the identification documents.” Huo Xuenong said in a low voice, “Just wait for another day. There’s no rush, right?”
Luo Jialan nodded and turned her back to the surveillance camera in the ward. “I’ll make a call to ask.”
She dialed the number of the fund management office and asked, “I’m almost done with the procedures here. Are you guys ready?”
The fund manager on the other side had a drastic change of heart, and said to her solemnly, “What procedures? What do we need to prepare?”
“I’m Luo Jialan, no, Huo Jialan, the owner of the trust fund. I want to change the beneficiary of the fund. Did you forget? I called you yesterday!” Luo Jialan’s voice became louder.
They were too unreliable. They had already forgotten what she said just yesterday!
That person sneered and said in a drawn out voice, “Oh, ——that matter, it’s like this. We just received a freezing order from the Swiss court. You are suspected of money laundering. Your trust fund has been temporarily frozen.”
Luo Jialan’s whole body shook, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her.
“What… What did you say?!” Her voice rose sharply. It sounded shrill and trembling, like a fallen leaf in the wind. Wherever her voice passed, only desolate leaves fell on the ground.
