The incident involving Lin Miao was far from a simple matter of disgracing the Gu and Gong families. Gu Shan was on the verge of a promotion, a time when any mishap could jeopardize his chances. Yet, here they were, embroiled in this scandalous affair. It was a disaster.
"Will this affect your promotion?" Zhang Mei asked her husband, the gravity of the situation only just dawning on her. The sky seemed to be falling. Gu Shan had been waiting for a promotion for years, and this golden opportunity could not be lost.
Gu Shan waved his hand, his face etched with distress. "Enough," he said, "Let's first understand the situation, then we'll figure out a solution. We cannot let this incident affect my promotion."
After leaving the police station, Su Shen and Gu Zi went to have lunch and then visited Papa Lin in the hospital. They also informed him and his wife about the events that had transpired at the banquet.
