The majority of people in the banquet hall were seeing this man for the first time, yet his presence was so commanding that they would not easily forget him. There was something about him that demanded attention. When their gazes met his cool, aloof eyes, any hint of aggression they might have harbored was instantly quelled, replaced by a profound sense of intimidation.

Who among them would dare to raise their voices against him? All they could do was listen quietly as his deep, cold voice echoed through the room. His tone was low and aristocratic, leaving no room for anyone to question him.

“Mr. and Mrs. Gu,” he began, “the formal accusation regarding the theft of the three thousand gift money was made by me, Su Shen, and the Lin family, not Gu Zi. So, if you have any other doubts, you can direct them at me.

“You two have no right to accuse my wife, Gu Zi. When you forced her to fulfill Lin Miao’s marriage contract with me, her marriage was already a repayment for your kindness in raising her.”

Su Shen revealed the truth about Lin Miao accepting his gift money and then reneging on their marriage. He publicly thanked Gu Zi for marrying him. After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Captain He on the opposite side.

Captain He nodded in confirmation, “Yes, it was not Gu Zi who accused Lin Miao. Lin Miao is already a confirmed suspect. Her motive was likely to take the money, causing the Lin family to be unable to repay the gift money, forcing Gu Zi to marry into the Su family in her place.

“We have been investigating secretly for a long time. There is no lack of evidence, and there is no defamation or framing involved.”

The crowd was stunned by Su Shen and Captain He’s revelations. The information was overwhelming. They knew that Gu Zi had suddenly married and moved to the countryside, but they didn’t know that she had done so in place of Lin Miao. They were shocked to learn that Lin Miao had a marriage contract in the countryside!

Moreover, Lin Miao had accepted the gift money, reneged on the marriage, and possibly stolen the money from her foster parents. She didn’t want to marry, but she took the money and left Gu Zi to clean up her mess. Her intentions were truly malicious!

“I can’t believe that the biological daughter of Captain Gu is such a person. Not only is she not as beautiful as Gu Zi, but her heart is also so vicious. There’s no saving her, take her away quickly!”

They lamented how Gu Zi, a well-rounded and talented woman, would make such a decision to marry into the countryside. At first, they thought it was due to the shock of an identity swap that drove Gu Zi to such lengths.

After learning about Gu Zit s marriage, many young men in the compound expressed their regret. Although Gu Zi was a bit difficult to handle, her beauty and abilities were more than enough to match most of the young talents.

However, the reality was as it was. After their lamentations, life went on as usual. Little did they know that all of this was orchestrated by the Gu family themselves. It was outrageous and cold-hearted.

Although Gu Zi was an adopted daughter, she had been raised for over a decade. Did the Gu couple not have any affection for her?

“The actions of Captain Gu and his wife are truly astonishing. They actually forced their adopted daughter to clean up their biological daughter’s mess, and even let their biological daughter take over Gu Zi’s original fiancé. How shameless! How could our Gong family become in-laws with such people!”

Gu Shan and Zhang Mei found themselves publicly exposed, their faces paling in sheer panic.

They were left with no choice but to admit, “Yes, we were wrong to force Gu Zi to marry. But isn’t Gu Zi doing well now? Haven’t we done a good deed with ill intentions? However, Captain He, we assure you that the dowry wasn’t taken by our daughter…”

Captain He retorted coldly, “According to our investigation in Little Lin Village, Lin Miao has never cooked a meal for herself since childhood. The Lin family may be poor, but they never let their child go hungry.

“Lin Miao’s pocket money for school was earned by her brother Lin Cheng through his part-time jobs. Lin Miao has never worked to earn money, and we found no evidence of her having any job experience prior to her work at the radio station.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd shook their heads in disbelief. They had initially thought Gu Zi to be ungrateful, but it seemed that Lin Miao was the real culprit!

To think that Lin Miao’s foster parents and family had treated her so well, how could she slander them with such a clear conscience? Her heart must be as black as coal.

The middle-aged woman who had led the gifting of gold bracelets to Lin Miao earlier, now blushed with embarrassment. She stormed up to Lin Miao, wordlessly removed her bracelet from Lin Miao’s wrist, and declared loudly, “Officer, I’m merely taking back what’s mine. This woman doesn’t deserve such a high-end gift.”

The police did not intervene. Seeing this, others mustered the courage to approach Lin Miao and retrieve their own gifted gold jewelry from her neck or wrist. They were no longer afraid of getting embarrassed.. After all, could they be more embarrassed than the Gu family?
