At this moment, Na Amo truly wanted to kill Zhou Rong.

"Aunt Mo."

The girl’s soft call pulled her from hatred, and Na Amo looked up to meet Rong Xianning’s worried gaze.

Na Amo calmed down instantly.

She loosened her grip on Zhou Rong’s neck and looked down coldly at her.

"The seventeen years my son lost cannot be recovered. You, the culprit, I will sue you. Spend the rest of your life atoning in prison."

But this was far from enough.

Na Amo was not planning to let her off so easily.

Knowing that her biological son had been deliberately abused and exploited by Zhou Rong and her husband for so many years, she felt her heart torn apart. Never underestimate a mother’s love and determination for revenge.

Zhou Rong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly reacted, "Na Amo, on what grounds can you sue me? I raised Rong Xianning, what right do you have to sue me?"

At this time, a young man pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, neatly dressed in a suit. He adjusted his glasses and spoke earnestly, "For switching your biological son with the Gu family infant and long-term maltreatment, as per Article 262 of the Criminal Law, you are subject to imprisonment for up to five years. For abuse of those under guardianship or care and intentional injury, as per Article 260-1, if the circumstances are severe, subject to imprisonment for up to three years. For multiple crimes, the court will decide the sentencing from between the highest term among multiple charges and overall terms, achieving a compounded penalty for severe offenses."

The man’s smile carried a hint of malice, terrifying Zhou Rong. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Then the man’s gaze fell on Rong Yuhe: "As an accomplice, you won’t escape either."

He looked up at Na Amo: "Mrs. Gu, I am Helian Yi, a partner at Spring River Law Firm. I have never lost a case, especially skilled in criminal cases. You can hire me as the attorney for this case. I will do my utmost to ensure these evildoers face harsh legal punishment."

In the legal world, Helian Yi was a name known to all.

Na Amo nodded: "Thank you."

Zhou Rong collapsed, shouting, "No, Na Amo, you can’t sue me. I raised your son. You can’t sue me, Ningning..."

Zhou Rong lunged at Rong Xianning but was kicked by Shen You’an, rolling on the ground.

Gu Chengzhao immediately stepped forward, shielding Rong Xianning, his eyebrows furrowed with anger: "Zhou Rong, our Gu family never treated you poorly, yet you committed such heartless acts, keeping us separated from our flesh and blood for years. It’s one thing if you treated him well; but how have you and your husband abused him? Do I need to list out each atrocity?"

From Rong Xianning’s childhood, the couple’s abuse against him could be easily verified online, though there was no shortage of the agency’s pitiful marketing behind the scenes.

Rong Xianning stared blankly at the admirable back shielding him, shoulders broad and like a mountain, protecting him from the tempest outside.

Rong Xianning’s nose couldn’t help but turn sour, realizing this was paternal love.

"It’s all false. How could I have abused him? All of this is a grand marketing ploy by that woman Ding Meng. I’ve never laid a finger on him from childhood to adulthood. Ningning, for heaven’s sake, say something. Dad and Mom never abused you, right?"

Gu Chengzhao’s broad body securely shielded the frail Rong Xianning, keeping all threats at bay.

"Amo, call Officer Xiang."

He didn’t want to bicker with the couple any further; it was pointless. He aimed to put them in prison for a lifetime.

"Coming, coming." Xiang Chenyu munched on a pastry, gulped down a glass of juice, and pushed through the crowd.

Upon seeing Xiang Chenyu, everyone’s hearts tightened, quickly stepping aside, fearing she might target them.

Xiang Chenyan pulled handcuffs from her lower back, snapping them onto the terrified Zhou Rong and Rong Yuhe’s hands.

"You two, come with me."

"No, you can’t arrest me..." Rong Yuhe turned frantically, meeting Gu Bichen’s evasive gaze.

"Son, save me and your mother. Plead with the Gu family; you’ve been with them for so long, surely there’s some affection. Please, beg them..."

Gu Bichen’s face turned pale, instinctively shaking his head and retreating.

No, he couldn’t accept that these two vile people were his biological parents.

But...

He looked up at Na Amo, who once lovingly protected him, only to see her gaze now utterly cold.

Turning to Gu Chengzhao, the father who hid his love beneath a stern exterior, firmly shielding another beneath his wings, no longer seeing him.

Gu Bichen felt cold all over, as if he stood in icy tundra. He realized he was utterly finished.

Xiang Chenyu glanced at Gu Bichen, "Almost forgot about you."

He waved to his subordinates, and two plainclothes officers walked toward Gu Bichen.

Gu Bichen instinctively looked at Madam Gu: "Grandmother, I didn’t commit a crime; I’m innocent..."

Madam Gu looked worried but quickly forced herself to remain calm, "Chenchen, you must trust in the justice system. If indeed you haven’t committed a crime, I’ll personally retrieve you and host a banquet to clear your name. But if you are guilty..."

Madam Gu sighed heavily, speaking resolutely, "Everyone must bear the consequences of their wrong actions."

Gu Bichen’s gaze dimmed, lowering his head.

As the officers moved to handcuff him, Gu Bichen looked up at Xiang Chenyu: "Officer Xiang, can I go without the cuffs?"

Xiang Chenyu looked at Madam Gu, and her gaze finally settled on Gu Bichen’s pitiable face, nodding to the officers.

The officers retrieved the handcuffs.

For Madam Gu’s sake, Xiang Chenyu was willing to spare this Gu family’s once highly cherished young master a final bit of dignity.

Gu Bichen paused in his steps when passing Shen You’an, turning to deeply look at her.

He opened his mouth to speak, but seeing the girl’s icy eyes, he swallowed his words.

Everyone watched as Gu Bichen was led away by the police, Zhou Rong and Rong Yuhe’s couple resisting, ultimately being forcibly removed by the police.

The group arrived quickly and left just as swiftly.

Gu Suqiu was bewildered, while others who witnessed the drama were stunned, still processing what they saw.

Madam Gu stepped forward, smoothing things over: "Today marks my eightieth birthday, and I am joyful because I have found my grandson."

Madam Gu’s resonant voice reached every corner of the hall, then she grasped Rong Xianning’s hand tightly.

"Rong Xianning... No, it should be Gu Xianning now. From now on, Gu Xianning is the sole heir of our Gu family. Today’s celebration is not just my birthday party, but also my grandson’s recognition ceremony."

The crowd congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to Madam Gu, congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Gu."

Of course, the one most deserving of congratulations was Rong Xianning.

Jumping from the mire to the heights, achieving a perfect ascent in status.

The Gu family’s sole heir, a title many envy and covet.

Looking at the young man, his handsome features and refined demeanor like jade, his tall and slender build glowed amidst the crowd, quiet yet impossible to ignore.

In appearance, undoubtedly more outstanding than Gu Bichen, even having walked through the entertainment world’s tumult, he remained pristine and noble, exhibiting the Gu family’s gentlemanly grace.

Standing alongside Gu Chengzhao, their brows bore a slight resemblance, marveling at the wonder of genes.
