Chapter 381: Case Closed

Translator:Atlas Studios Editor:Atlas Studios

“Officer Li, is there any progress on the case?”

“No, today is the day the case is closed. I’ll have to trouble Miss Gu to come over.”

Hearing this good news, Gu Man raised her eyebrows and joy appeared on her face.

As expected of the person she thought highly of back then. At least he did not let her down. After hanging up, Gu Man asked the chauffeur to change direction and head towards the police station.

When she arrived at the door, she happened to meet the Gu family.

However, until now, the Gu family did not seem to realize what had happened. There was no fear on their faces at all. Instead, they were smug. Even Zhang Yue was standing beside Gu Rou.

When Zhang Yue’s gaze landed on Gu Man, it was obvious that his mood had worsened. However, the corners of his mouth quickly curled up.

“Why isn’t the heir of the Xiang Family with you? Could you have been abandoned? I told you that people like them are just playing around. One should be down-to-earth. After all, we were engaged previously. If you apologize to Rou’er now, 1 might not hold this matter against you.”

When Gu Rou heard this, she clenched her fists tightly by her side. Even if her target was Xiang Yin now, it did not mean that she could watch Zhang Yue show Gu Man a good attitude.

“Brother Zhang, I’m afraid Sister doesn’t need it. After all, I’ve already said before that if she was willing to withdraw the lawsuit, our Gu family wouldn’t be so calculative. However, Sister didn’t give me any face at all and insisted on tracking this matter down to the end.”

Zhang Yue patted Gu Rou’s hand which was on his arm comfortingly.

“I was just saying. How can I forgive Gu Man for doing such a treasonous thing?”

For some reason, Zhang Yue felt confident at this moment. He had finally taken back the embarrassment he had felt in front of Restaurant Fragrance that day.

Wasn’t Gu Man always materialistic? However, the person she loved wasn’t standing beside her now. She was just an abandoned child. How pitiful.

However, the two of them were still engaged after all. Zhang Yue did not want this matter to become so ugly. At most, he would wait a while and make the matter not so serious. At the very least, he had to ensure the Gu family’s reputation before anything else.

However, Gu Man would definitely remember this time and not ask for anything that did not belong to her. The successor of the Xiang family was not something she could touch at all.

Gu Man looked at the group of smug people coldly and the corners of her lips suddenly curled up slightly. “Then I’m really looking forward to it.”

After saying this, she didn’t wait for the others’ expressions and walked into the police station.

Li Hua, who was in charge of this case, had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Gu Man enter, he quickly welcomed her in.

That was because this matter was neither big nor small. However, the Gu family did not want to carry it out in court because it would damage the Gu family’s reputation. They wanted to resolve it in private, so they decided to go to the police station.

When the group of people entered the police station, the originally spacious hall became a little crowded.

When Li Hua saw the Gu family, the smile on his face faded a little. His attitude was not bad, but it was not good either. In any case, it was different from his attitude towards Gu Man.

Gu Rou was indignant. She just could not bear to see Gu Man doing well, so she looked at the solicitous Li Hua and could not help but say sarcastically, “I didn’t expect any Tom, Dick, or Harry to be a police officer now. You can’t even read the room as a police officer and you’re trying to please useless people.”

Perhaps realizing that her words were too harsh, Gu Rou added, “We’re the victims of this case. Why are we being treated so differently?”

As she spoke, Gu Rou’s tone was a little aggrieved. Her fingers gently held Zhang Yue’s fingertips.

“How are you doing your job as a cop?”

Zhang Yue quickly spoke up and sized Li Hua up. He remembered that it was this small police officer who had embarrassed them at the police station last time..
