Chenyue had her aunts and uncles to shower her with love, while she had to grit her teeth and bear even the greatest injustices, even having to take the blame for her cousin?
"Ye Chenxing, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."
With a click, the handcuffs were locked. She was held down by the shoulders by two policemen.
At that moment, darkness filled Chenxing's vision, her heart brimming with a despair as chilling as being plunged into an ice pit.
But what could she do? The person she worried about most in the world was her grandmother. She scrimped and saved to contribute to her grandmother's nursing home fees, but it was barely enough. Her grandmother was still sick, and she couldn't even afford the monthly medical expenses. If her uncle's promise was true, spending three years in prison in exchange for her grandmother's peaceful twilight years...
Cousin, I'll take the blame for you, for the last relative I truly have in my heart!
She took one last look at her aunt and uncle, her head bowed desolately. So be it, she no longer had any hope, and no one was there to help her.
She was a child abandoned by God!
However, at that moment, the front door was suddenly swung open, and dozens of intimidating men in black suits poured in and arranged themselves orderly. The aura they emitted was astonishing and utterly terrifying.
The sudden oppression and feeling of suffocation gave an illusion of death being just a step away.
Everyone from the Ye Family, including the five policemen in their uniforms, unconsciously flinched slightly.
A formidable man, Shan Shan, entered leisurely.
"Well, what's going on here?"
A dangerous and severe aura permeated the air. The intimidating atmosphere he emanated was too strong and invoked a terrifying fear.
"Mr... Mr. Gu?"
One policeman was able to recognize who had arrived and exclaimed with sudden excitement, hurriedly bowing in respect. Even his voice began to tremble slightly.
However, his obsequious fawning didn't catch the attention of a certain someone. Gu Shaocheng's deft gaze scanned the room before accurately landing on a particular figure.
Her face was identical to the picture on his WeChat contact list.
Was it her?
Why was she being treated so horribly?
Look at the pitiful sight she was in: her left cheek was slightly swollen, her hands cuffed. Despite suffering such a grave injustice, she struggled to stay strong.
That sight etched itself into Gu Shaocheng's vision, and his eyes couldn't help darkening.
"What is happening here?"
But Gu Shaocheng was undeniably Gu Shaocheng. Rage might have overtaken his heart, yet none of it showed on his face. His eternal aura of authority and cold demeanor made others afraid of crossing him.
The policeman quickly responded, "Mr. Gu, we're arresting a murderer. And you, Mr. Gu?"
"Oh, I came to see someone."
Gu Shaocheng hovered at a point only one step away from them, without showing any signs of urgency or panic.
He dusted off his clothes and his gaze landed unerringly on Chenxing.
The broken spirit reflected in her eyes, coupled with her despair and loss made him impatient to reignite her hope.
Unrushed, he walked leisurely forward with steady, composed steps.
When Gu Shaocheng halted three steps away from Chenxing, he raised an eyebrow, gave a nonchalant smirk, and said, "What's going on? The person I want to see is your so-called murderer?"
Boom -
Gu Shaocheng's words sent waves of shock through the room.
Everyone in City E knew never to cross a man named Gu Shaocheng.
