The trio first met with Lin Cheng and Lin Hun but had little time to explain. Gu Zi and Mrs. Lin proceeded to the Public Security Bureau while Li Hua and the two men returned to the village.
Before the mother and daughter could enter the police station, they encountered a middle-aged man who warmly greeted Gu Zi.
Little Zi, here for business? Why arent you with Su Shen? he inquired.
Gu Zi recognized the familiar Mediterranean-style haircut and recalled he was the male leader who had assisted in teaching Aunte Wang a lesson last time. She had heard people referring to him as Deputy Chief He.
Yes, Deputy Chief He, Im here for some business! she replied with a smile.
Deputy Chief He thought Su Shens wife was very polite and smart but felt she was overly courteous.
He expressed, Given my relationship with Su Shen, you should call me Uncle.
If Uncle has met you here for something, theres no reason I shouldnt help. What brings you here?
Declaring he had no plans to go out, Deputy Chief He personally escorted Gu Zi and Mrs. Lin into the Public Security Bureau.
Gu Zi couldnt refuse his offer. With his support, tasks became notably more convenient. Also, considering Su Shens rapport with him, addressing him as Uncle He didnt seem out of place.
Following Uncle Hes lead, Gu Zi and her mother entered the bureau.
Mrs. Lin was quietly amazed. She hadnt anticipated her future son-in-laws influencehaving an acquaintance who was not only within the Public Security Bureau but also held the position of deputy director!
She realized the saying that having more connections makes tasks easier held true.
Deputy Director He arranged for them to sit in a specific department downstairs, where someone promptly served them tea and snacks.
Gu Zi felt their visit to the Public Security Bureau seemed less like reporting a case and more akin to being entertained at a teahouse. It was all too comfortable.
Of course, Deputy Chief He couldnt just let them sit there and do nothing. He quickly called the person in charge of investigating the Lin familys dowry gift money theft case.
Gu Zi and Mother Lin provided details about Lin Miaos unusual behavior. Mrs. Lin collaborated, adding further explanations, while the investigator earnestly took notes.
Miss Gu, he said respectfully, the clue you provided is very important. We will investigate in this direction.
Gu Zi expressed her gratitude and continued, Regarding the follow-up investigation, I have some ideas that Id like to discuss with you privately.
Downstairs in the pavilion of the military compound, the Gu and Gong families had arranged to meet before proceeding to the Golden Sun Hotel for lunch. Their agenda was to discuss Lin Miao and Gong Zhans marriage certificate and wedding-related matters.
Upon seeing the Gong couple, the Gu couple extended profuse thanks. Chief, Madam Chen, were immensely grateful for your help with the household register transfer. Lin Miao, you should also express your gratitude to the elders!
Gong Zhan stood silently to the side, offering no words. The Gong couple appeared puzzled.
Confused, they glanced at their son, wondering when they had aided in the transfer. The Gu family hadnt mentioned anything about it.
Lin Miao had already bowed in gratitude, expressing, Thank you so much. I thought Id never be able to return to the Gu familys household register in this lifetime. I didnt expect your assistance.
This time, she wasnt lying. After all, she had transferred her rural household registration to a city household registration. She didnt have to be a farmer anymore!
As they spoke, the group had already walked out of the courtyard. However, they encountered Lin Cheng and Li Hua waiting outside the door.
They were supposed to go back, but after parting ways with Gu Zi and the others, Lin Cheng asked Li Hua why she wanted to go to the Public Security
Bureau.
Li Hua felt that there was nothing to hide, so she told Lin Cheng about Lin Miaos previous lies.
Everyone had seen how Lin Cheng had loved Lin Miao since he was young, even Lin Hun had always called him a sister slave.
Lin Cheng couldnt help but cry when he heard this. Even Lin Hun was stunned by Lin Miaos shamelessness.
Unable to believe Lin Miaos actions, Lin Cheng insisted on confronting Lin Miao about her accusations against the Lin family regarding Su Shens 3,000 yuan dowry. Li Hua accompanied him.
Lin Miao felt an inexplicable unease upon seeing the pair. She tried to ignore them, but Lin Cheng halted her and asked in a quivering voice, Sister Lin Miao, why did you accuse the Lin family of taking Su Shens 3,000 yuan wedding gift?
Lin Miaos body trembled, feigning ignorance. Brother, what what are you talking about?
Gu Shan and Zhang Mei swiftly shielded their daughter, scolding the pair, This is the city. Why are you causing a scene? How could Lin Miao falsely accuse you? Dont create unnecessary trouble!
The Gong family remained silent, considering it a personal issue that needed resolution between the parties involved..
