Chapter 67



67 The Police Are Here

When the Gu family heard from the servants that the police were looking for Gu Man, they all looked at her.

Gu Man calmly wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin. She roughly knew why they were looking for her.

Seeing that Gu Man did not explain, Gu Yuan immediately panicked. He slapped the table and questioned, “Gu Man, what trouble did you cause again?”

Gu Man glanced at Gu Yuan and said calmly, “Who said I caused trouble?”

“If you didn’t cause trouble, would the police come?” Gu Yuan reprimanded Gu Man as he instructed the servants to bring the police to the side hall.

Gu Rou’s eyes flashed with schadenfreude. This Gu Man was really capable. She actually dared to provoke the police.

However, she still pretended to be worried and asked Gu Man gently, “What trouble did you get into? Tell us in advance so that we can think of a way to help you.”

Qu Bei said sarcastically, “Some people are really capable. They even dare to break the law. Sooner or later, the Gu family’s reputation will be ruined.”

Gu Man threw down her napkin and walked towards the side hall, treating it as if Qu Bei and the others were farting.

When she entered the side hall, Gu Man saw Captain Wang at a glance. There was a woman behind him.

When Captain Wang saw Gu Man enter, he quickly welcomed her. Gu Yuan, who came later, squeezed Gu Man to the side and warmly reached out to shake Captain Wang’s hand. He smiled and said, “Officer, I’m Gu Man’s father. Sorry for not welcoming you earlier.”

Captain Wang’s target was originally Gu Man. He did not expect Gu Yuan to come out halfway to shake his hand, which stunned him for a moment. After he reacted, he said, “No, no. I came without informing you. I’m Captain Wang of the Tianhe District Team. Sorry to disturb you.”

Although Gu Yuan said polite words, he was muttering about Captain Wang’s attitude in his heart. Could it be that Gu Man really did not cause trouble? However, this thought was quickly dismissed.

If Gu Man did not cause trouble, why would the police come?

“Captain Wang, what crime did Gu Man commit?” Gu Yuan asked curiously.

Seeing that Gu Yuan had misunderstood, Captain Wang immediately denied, “No, I came this time…”

Before Captain Wang could finish speaking, Gu Yuan put on a righteous look. “Captain Wang, you don’t have to care about the Gu family’s reputation. If there’s anything, just look for me. I’m not the kind of parent who will side with their child. I’ll handle everything impartially.”

Captain Wang: Uh, what reputation does the Gu family have?

He did not know Gu Yuan and only wanted to thank Gu Man.

Qu Bei also interrupted, “Captain Wang, Gu Man is usually disobedient. She needs to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, she will make an even bigger mistake when she goes out into society in the future.”

Hearing the couple’s words, Captain Wang could not help but frown.

As parents, why were they in a hurry to convict their child without asking?

He glanced at Gu Man, who was standing at the side without saying anything. He raised his voice and said, “I came this time to thank Student Gu Man.”

Gu Yuan and Qu Bei were stunned.

Thank?

It wasn’t Gu Man who caused trouble?

Qu Bei could not hide her disappointment and blurted out her thoughts. “What good can that troublemaker Gu Man do?”

Hearing this, Captain Wang’s face instantly turned cold.

At this moment, Qu Bei also realized that she had gone overboard with her words and quickly tried to make up for it. “I mean, my child has been spoiled and always causes trouble. Don’t mind her.”

Captain Wang ignored Qu Bei and walked straight to Gu Man. He said solemnly, “Gu Man, on behalf of our Tianhe District Police Force, I thank you. If it weren’t for your help, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Gu Man stood up straight and put away the teasing expression on her face. She replied, “It was nothing.”

Seeing that Gu Man was not proud of herself, Captain Wang admired her even more.

He gestured for the woman behind him to come forward and introduced her to Gu Man. “Gu Man, this is the mother of that female schoolmate, Mrs. Zhou. She strongly requested to come and thank you as soon as possible, so I came without informing you.”

This Mrs. Zhou’s age could not be seen. There were many wrinkles on her face, but her skin was rosy and lustrous. She looked like she was living in luxury and had seen the world.

Gu Man nodded at Mrs. Zhou. “Hello, Mrs. Zhou.”
