After Captain He and his team left, the Gu family's phone continued to ring incessantly. Gu Shan and Zhang Mei felt overwhelmed, yet they dared not hang up nor answer the calls.

However, with the difficulty they were facing in repaying Lin Miao's embezzled funds, how could they possibly repay these debts? For now, their only option was to avoid answering the phone and take things one step at a time.
