Chapter 417: Abandoning Her

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing Gu Shan’s words, the police officer on the other end of the line fell silent for a few seconds before responding, “Understood, Captain Gu. Your understanding and cooperation are a blessing to the people and will not hinder our work. We will relay your message as it is.”

The case of Lin Miao had remained untried for a reason. After all, the Gong family’s reputation was at stake. They had to maintain their dignity while handling the case. Moreover, the Gu family was also a prominent household. If the Gong and Gu families did not explicitly abandon Lin Miao, it would be an obstacle, even though she would eventually be convicted, but it would take longer. However, now it was much easier.

Having been around for many years, Gu Shan could discern the underlying implications of the conversation. As Gu Zi had suggested, this approach would shield him from the repercussions and earn him a good reputation, distinguishing him from Lin Miao, his biological daughter.

At the detention center, the police officer who had taken the call quickly relayed the message. Upon hearing it, Lin Miao was stunned, her eyes fixated on the iron bars in front of her. She sat there, motionless, for half an hour.

She needed time to comprehend the implications of the message delivered by the police on behalf of her biological parents. Firstly, it was clear that her adoptive parents were unwilling to plead on her behalf. Had the Lin family completely given up on her?

She needed time to comprehend the implications of the message delivered by the police on behalf of her biological parents. Firstly, it was clear that her adoptive parents were unwilling to plead on her behalf. Had the Lin family completely given up on her?

As Lin Miao reflected on her interactions with the Lin family, she realized that her days with them had been her most relaxed. Her return to the Gu family had not been as pleasant as she had imagined, and was far from her initial expectations.

The Gu family was indeed well-respected in the city, and her biological parents, Gu Shan and Zhang Mei, were of high status, more dignified than her adoptive parents. However, Lin Miao could never find the warmth that the Lin family had given her in her biological parents.

The Gu family did protect her, but Lin Miao knew it was because her lies had deceived them, and their guilt had driven them to do so. It was not the genuine affection that her adoptive parents had shown her.

She regretted it so much. From the beginning, she should have balanced her relationships with both families. She should not have neglected her adoptive parents in order to please her biological ones.

She had thought that her adoptive parents, who had always doted on her, would not mind this. However, she had not anticipated that Gu Zi would return to the Lin family and acknowledge them as family, and that their relationship

would become so good.

If Gu Zi had not returned and established a relationship with the Lin family, they would not have been so ruthless towards her. The problem still lay with Gu Zi.

At this thought, Lin Miao’s gaze turned cold and resentful, as if her nemesis, Gu Zi, was standing outside the iron bars, taunting her with a provocative smile.

Gu Zi always seemed to be an unpredictable variable in Lin Miao’s life. Whenever she encountered Gu Zi, unexpected changes would occur, steering the course of events in unforeseen directions. The outcome was always the same: Lin Miao was always just a hair’s breadth away from achieving what she desired, only to end up falling hard in the end.

The second, and more brutal reality, was that after weighing the pros and cons, Gu Shan and Zhang Mei also chose to abandon her in order to protect themselves.

“Why? Didn’t you say you felt guilty? Didn’t you promise to do everything in your power to save me, even if it meant losing your positions? I want to see my parents, I want to see my parents…”

Suddenly, Lin Miao rose to her feet, rushing to the iron bars and pounding against them while shouting. She seemed to have been triggered by something, completely disregarding her image.

“You are truly heartless, you’ve abandoned Gu Zi, and now me! All you care about are your own gains and losses, you are not fit to be parents. The Gu family is a joke, and so is the Gong family, you’re all laughable! Ha ha ha…”

How ridiculous it all was! She had thought that becoming Gong Zhan’s wife would ensure her safety. Even if it was discovered that she had taken the money, she wouldn’t end up in jail. After all, she was the daughter-in-law of the Gong family’s leader, who would dare to imprison her?

But what about now? The Gong family was ignoring the matter, and even the Gu family was following suit, focusing only on self-preservation. Was she really trapped? “No, no, no, I don’t want to go to jail, I’m innocent, let me out!”

Lin Miao’s commotion quickly attracted attention. Believing that her outburst would be effective, she disregarded her image even more and continued her uproar. “I want to see my parents, let me out, I want to see my parents!”

However, the police outside merely exchanged glances before one of them swiftly turned and left to fetch a psychologist.

Whether in a detention center or a prison, there were many individuals who developed psychological issues after being apprehended. Therefore, professional psychologists and emergency doctors were always on standby, ready for any unforeseen circumstances..
