258 Misunderstanding
“Mr. Gu, you seem to be mistaken about something. I’m here to investigate Gu Rou’s slander.”
Gu Yuan looked surprised and retorted without thinking, “How is that possible? It’s impossible for her to do such a thing. Gu Man must have said something to you. I’m telling you that she’s a scourge. Her words can’t be trusted. She just wants to destroy the Gu Family!”
Gu Man felt extremely ironic. When the police called and said that they wanted to look for her, Gu Yuan would only think that she had done something bad, but when it came to Gu Rou, it was the opposite. He even felt that it was all her fault.
Li Hua seemed to have never seen such an unreasonable person. According to the investigation information when he came, Gu Man was the adopted daughter of the Gu Family, why was Gu Yuan so disgusted?
However, he still explained patiently as a police officer, “Whether it’s real or fake, we will naturally give Mr. Gu an explanation after the police investigation.”
“Why should I let you investigate? This is the Gu Family.”
Gu Yuan did not seem to have recognized the truth. He looked at Li Hua coldly. The uniform he was wearing exposed his position, making Gu Yuan feel even more disdainful.
It was just a small police officer. He took out his phone and clicked on something. The call was quickly made.
“Is it Section Chief Wang?”
The flattery on his face looked especially ironic from Li Hua’s perspective. However, this was normal. If Bureau Chief Ou had not given him the authority, he would really be unable to continue the investigation because of Section Chief Wang.
“What’s your name?”
Halfway through his sentence, Gu Yuan suddenly took his phone away and covered the microphone. The disdain in his eyes when he looked at Li Hua was especially glaring.
“Li Hua.”
“His name is Li Hua. Now, anyone dares to be impudent in front of the Gu Family. Don’t you think we should punish him?”
There seemed to be no reply for a long time, but Gu Yuan confidently took off his phone and turned on the speakerphone. He did not hide his arrogant expression at all.
The next second, Section Chief Wang’s words came clearly from the phone.
“Gu Yuan, Director Ou is behind Li Hua. I can’t interfere in this matter. You should just obediently accept the investigation. Anyway, you don’t have a guilty conscience, so you’re not afraid of this.”
Without waiting for Gu Yuan’s reply, Section Chief Wang hurriedly hung up.
The confident Gu Yuan’s expression changed drastically. It was actually Chief Ou?
The arrogance on his face disappeared. He walked forward carefully and was even a little solicitous. “Mr. Li, look, this is just a fight between children. They’re all joking. There’s no need to investigate, right?”
Li Hua looked at his changed expression and sneered. He said in a businesslike manner, “Since we’ve received Miss Gu Man’s request, we naturally have the obligation to help her complete it.”
When Gu Yuan heard this, he glanced at Gu Man unhappily. “Your sister usually treats you so well, but in the end, you repaid kindness with ingratitude!”
“Old Gu, what’s going on? I saw a police car parked outside.”
Qu Bei’s puzzled voice sounded. Gu Rou was standing beside her. When she saw Li Hua and Gu Man, her expression changed.
“Gu Man, you’re not welcome here. Get lost from the Gu Family!”
She subconsciously ignored Li Hua and scolded Gu Man coldly.
This series of events and the Gu Family’s attitude completely changed Li Hua’s impression of Gu Man. He even felt that she was a little pitiful.
Living in such a family, it was no wonder she wanted to leave.
Gu Rou did not fan the flames like she usually did. When she saw Li Hua, her heart tightened and she suddenly remembered what happened in the mall.
After she left the mall in a hurry, she received a call from Qu Bei and rushed back. She did not expect Gu Man to really call the police and they even came to their house.
Thinking of Old Master Cui, her expression turned even uglier.
If Old Master Cui stepped forward to help Gu Man, it would be confirmed that the Gu Family had indeed committed slander and their reputation would be completely ruined.
Gu Rou bit her lower lip and walked pitifully to Gu Man. She held her hand. “Sister, it’s all Sister’s fault. Sister shouldn’t have said that about you, but on account that we were once family, let’s forget about this matter.”
