Chief Lu's words were a deafening clap of thunder that completely stunned the few people in the room.
The uninformed ones had all thought that Chief Lu had come to educate the child, but only Huo Sining and Gu Xu knew that Chief Lu was actually coming to her defense, fearing that she had been wronged and had thus made a special trip to support her.
Huo Sining's eyes reddened, and a sour feeling welled up in her heart.
On the other hand, Chief Tian felt a tremor in his heart, knowing that the situation was beyond salvaging. No matter how tough he acted, it would be futile. No matter how capable he was, it was impossible to distort the truth, especially since the person in question was the granddaughter of a chief. Even if he had the gall, he wouldn't dare to frame her.
Huo Sining recounted in detail what had happened at Dashilar, and the more Chief Lu listened, the more furrowed his brows became.
