In the midst of the commotion, He Yan stood firm, serving as a barrier that Li Er dared not cross. With the presence of two police officers, Gu Zi knew she was safe.
She responded to Li Er's accusations with a calm demeanor, "Rumors are stopped by the wise, but if you insist on exploiting them, I may find it hard to defend myself. I can only reiterate that our food contains no illicit additives. As for evidence, it will soon be presented before you."
No sooner had Gu Zi finished speaking than there came a knock at the door of the ward. A tall, handsome man strode in, coming to stand beside Gu Zi. After exchanging a glance with He Yan, he handed a brown paper bag to Gu Zi. A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she turned to Li Er, "The evidence has arrived. I can now provide you with an explanation to silence your baseless accusations."
