A chilling realization dawned upon Captain He as he observed the parents of Lin Miao. They were the epitome of kindness and integrity. If not for Gu Zi's demand for compensation, they would not have even mentioned any additional recompense. It was hard to fathom how such a couple could have raised a child as ungrateful as Lin Miao.
After they had escorted Lin Miao back to the police station the previous day, they had conducted a thorough interrogation. It was now clear that Lin Miao's motive for stealing the three thousand yuan gift money was to seek revenge on Gu Zi. She believed that Gu Zi had stolen her life, forcing her to grow up in the countryside and depriving her of a better living environment.
