She habitually worried about Lu Miao, completely forgetting that Gu Shiyan had just told her that Lu Miao was the formiable Master Mountain River.

Captain Du on the side was momentarily confused, not grasping the situation between them fully. However, he strongly sympathized with Lu Miao.

Taking the risk of getting kicked by the director again, he spoke directly, “Indeed, someone has bullied her. It’s your daughter.”

Shen Qinghe was suddenly struck as if by a heavy blow, and a possibility flashed through her mind. But she couldn’t help holding on to a glimmer of hope, “What… do you mean by that?”

Captain Du snorted, “What do I mean? She is the victim of your daughter’s planned murder.”

Her speculations were confirmed, and Shen Qinghe involuntarily took two steps back.

She truly hadn’t believed Gu Xingyu was capable of planning a murder, but considering Xingyu’s dislike for Lu Miao, it seemed she was capable of such an act.

Just after finding out that Lu Miao was the person who had saved her son’s life, she was now being told that her daughter had planned to murder the person

wno saved ner son.

A bitter taste filled Shen Qinghe’s heart.

Lu Miao reached out to support her, “Aunt Shen, are you okay?”

Shen Qinghe managed to compose herself and waved her hand, “I’m fine. How about you? Did the car hit you? Are you injured?”

“I’m fine,” Lu Miao replied.

Captain Du glanced back and forth between Lu Miao and Shen Qinghe several times, unsure. “Do you still want to mediate?”

“At a time like this, you’re still thinking about mediation?” Gu Ziheng nervously looked at Lu Miao and said, “Have you been to the hospital for a check-up? If not, I can take you to the hospital right away to get examined.”

“No need, I know my body well,” Lu Miao responded directly.

Gu Ziheng scrutinized her for a few more rounds, but couldn’t find any injuries. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The director naturally Imew more than Captain Du. He vaguely heard about Gu Shiyan’s previous illness and engagement arrangement.

Seeing the current situation, Lu Miao should be the person who was engaged to Gu Shiyan and participated in the engagement.

After realizing this, he felt relieved.

Now, it was an internal matter for the Gu family. How they resolved it behind closed doors was their business.

He didn’t need to worry about offending Gu Shiyan or the Gu family, nor did he need to worry about violating any rules.

He cleared his throat. “Mrs. Gu, since it’s an internal matter, why don’t you discuss it among yourselves? Once you’ve reached an agreement, just let us know. ”

Captain Du, at the side, widened his eyes. Internal matter? If it really was an internal matter, would the Gu family members have plotted to murder someone?

Lu Miao released her hold on Shen Qinghe, “Aunt Shen…”

Shen Qinghe grasped her hand, looked at the director, and said, “No need for discussion. When you make a mistake, you have to pay the price, just like anyone else. I failed in raising her well, and she committed a crime. She should be punished according to the law. It’s like the country helping me with her upbringing. ”

Though it pained her, Lu Miao had done enough for the Gu family.

If she now spoke up to make concessions for the sake of her daughter, it would truly be an unjustifiable act and would chill Lu Miao’s heart.O

The director was astonished by these words. He had guessed that Lu Miao was the person engaged to Gu Shiyun, but he never expected Shen Qinghe would directly abandon mediation to uphold Lu Miao. He should’ve known that once inside a detention center or prison, regardless of the severity of the offense, it would be officially recorded and remain with her for life, a stain on her record.

Honestly, even if it were him, he wouldn’t be able to watch his own child go to prison without at least trying to intervene. Shen Qinghe, on the other hand, without even asking Lu Miao, had immediately made this decision.

In essence, Shen Qinghe had made an unwavering choice between Lu Miao and her own biological daughter.

The director hesitated for a moment, uncertain. He then turned to Gu Shiyan and asked, ‘Young Master Gu, what do you think?”

After all, it was Gu Shiyan who held the true authority in the Gu family.

Gu Shiyan spoke calmly, “As I mentioned earlier, let the punishment be fitting. There’s no need for mediation or discussion.”

Lu Miao lowered her gaze. She hadn’t intended to accept any mediation to spare Gu Xingyu. If Shen Qinghe and Gu Shiyan did propose such a request now, she could understand. However, her connection with the Gu family would end here.

After Gu Shiyan finished speaking, he turned to Lu Miao and said, ‘You haven’t had lunch yet, right? Let me take you back and get something to eat.”

Captain Du, standing nearby, frowned and gave him a concerned look. He pulled Lu Miao aside discreetly, slipping a small piece of paper with his phone number into her hand. He whispered, “If they threaten you after going back, just give me a call.”

Lu Miao naturally appreciated the gesture and nodded, “Thank you, Captain

Du. Remember to buy a lottery ticket on your way home.”

“Lottery ticket?” Captain Du blinked, a bit puzzled by the sudden mention of a lottery ticket.

“Yes, make sure you buy one.” Lu Miao winked at him before turning away.

As they watched the group of four leave like this and exit the police station, the director felt a surge of emotions. Betrayed by their own, with no one to protect her—Gu Xingyu seemed to have significant problems.

After leaving the police station, Gu Shiyan drove directly to a restaurant.

During the ride, Gu Ziheng excitedly bombarded Lu Miao with questions.

“By the way, Sister-in-law, do you think Xingyu might be possessed or influenced by something?”

His words hung in the air, and the car fell into silence.

Quickly, Gu Ziheng explained, “I’m not defending Xingyu. No matter what, she did wrong, and if she’s sentenced, she deserves it. I’m just wondering why her personality changed so suddenly.”

Shen Qinghe also looked at Lu Miao with anxiety. If it was indeed possession, that would at least indicate that Xingyu’s nature wasn’t inherently bad, and there might be hope for her in the future. Lu Miao spoke softly, “No.”

Gu Ziheng nodded and didn’t press further.

After the meal, Gu Ziheng checked the time and turned to Lu Miao, asking, “The school’s afternoon session has already begun. Do you still plan to go to school or head straight back to Lingyue Manor?”

Lu Miao pondered briefly and replied, “I want to go to the estate. I left something there.”

Shen Qinghe naturally had no objections. The old lady had been frequently visiting the City God Temple lately, for some reason, so she probably wasn’t at home. She also didn’t need to worry that the old lady would make things difficult for Lu Miao after finding out about Gu Xingyu.

Returning to the Gu residence, after exchanging greetings with everyone, Lu Miao went straight upstairs..
