Chapter 1202: Not Gu Shan
Captain He glanced around and declared, "Since that’s the case, this matter no longer concerns the staff of Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop. Li Hua, you and your team are free to leave. Once the trial concludes and the compensation is awarded, we’ll have someone deliver it to you directly. Su Shen, take your wife and head home too. From here on out, the court will handle everything. Justice will be served."
Without hesitation, Su Shen supported Gu Zi as they exited the interrogation room.
Behind them, Zhang Mei’s shrill cries echoed in desperation as she begged Gu Zi to help her, but Gu Zi found her voice utterly grating. She didn’t even bother turning around. Instead, she nudged Su Shen to quicken his pace and strode out without a second glance.
As she passed through the doors, Gu Zi deliberately shot a cold look at Gu Shan and Li Li. The two of them were clearly in on this together—no doubt they had coordinated their stories from the start. Gu Shan had obviously made up his mind to abandon Zhang Mei and their daughter entirely. And the so-called "son" he had mentioned? It must be Li Li’s child.
What a family—one criminal after another, shielding each other, cheating, lying. It was all so rotten to the core. Gu Zi thought to herself, ’This clan is beyond redemption. I’ll have nothing to do with any of them ever again.’
A few days later, the verdict was announced. Lin Miao, identified as the mastermind, was once again sent behind bars awaiting formal sentencing—and this time, she dragged Zhang Mei down with her.
Gu Shan, however, managed to slip through the cracks. He insisted he’d known nothing, and somehow convinced the court of his innocence. He was exonerated of all conspiracy charges, released immediately after testifying in court.
Not even bothering to properly recover his health, Gu Shan rushed to file petitions and reports. The severity of Zhang Mei’s involvement had triggered swift consequences from above—the authorities directly handed down a divorce ruling.
