Abandoning Her

Upon hearing Gu Shan's words, the police officer on the other end of the line fell silent for a few seconds before responding, "Understood, Captain Gu. Your understanding and cooperation are a blessing to the people and will not hinder our work. We will relay your message as it is."

The case of Lin Miao had remained untried for a reason. After all, the Gong family's reputation was at stake. They had to maintain their dignity while handling the case. Moreover, the Gu family was also a prominent household. If the Gong and Gu families did not explicitly abandon Lin Miao, it would be an obstacle, even though she would eventually be convicted, but it would take longer. However, now it was much easier.

Having been around for many years, Gu Shan could discern the underlying implications of the conversation. As Gu Zi had suggested, this approach would shield him from the repercussions and earn him a good reputation, distinguishing him from Lin Miao, his biological daughter.
