Lawyer Gao smiled knowingly and walked ahead, leading the way.
Gu Xinzhou was led by Song Zhen all the way, following behind.
Her mind was preoccupied, anxious and nervous.
Song Zhen whispered in her ear, "I'll have someone make business cards for you tomorrow, so the next time there is a social event, you needn't shake hands with anyone, just hand out your business card."
Gu Xinzhou had yet to grasp the delicate emotional undertones of Song Zhen's actions.
She nodded absentmindedly, her thoughts still on whether she could meet George's foster mother today.
In a small meeting room.
A female officer served several cups of clear tea and kept glancing at Gu Xinzhou with curiosity, seemingly intrigued by the woman who had captivated the heart of the wealthiest man, before leaving.
Zhang Wei and a colleague responsible for taking notes sat side by side on one side of the conference table, opposite to Song Zhen's group who were also seated side by side.
Zhang Wei said gently, "Miss Gu, we..."
"Mrs. Song," Song Zhen abruptly interjected, and as everyone turned to look at him, he boldly took Gu Xinzhou's hand, "We are planning our wedding."
Gu Xinzhou was speechless.
She chose to ignore Song Zhen's open display of affection.
Right now, what she cared most about was George's case!
Zhang Wei smiled slightly, "Okay, Mrs. Song, we can start now. Can you tell me, when exactly did you give birth in Italy, the name of the hospital, and the name of the attending doctor? Do you remember all these details?"
"I remember," Gu Xinzhou recounted that period of her past seriously.
The more Song Zhen listened, the deeper his frown became.
And Lawyer Gao also started recording, confident he could find something helpful for the case from Gu Xinzhou's testimony.
The recording continued until 1:30 in the morning.
Zhang Wei showed the record to Gu Xinzhou for her to review and after confirming that everything was correct, asked her to sign and place her fingerprint.
Gu Xinzhou looked at Zhang Wei, "Officer Zhang, I would like to see Chen Shan, may I ask if you could ask her for me? Of course, I know it's very late now. What I mean is, if she is willing to see me, she can contact me at any time."
Zhang Wei looked at her with a touch of regret, "Mrs. Song, on your way to the police station, we had already asked our colleague to inquire for you, but Chen Shan refused to meet with you."
Gu Xinzhou's complexion turned pale!
Without makeup, the changes in her complexion were particularly evident.
Song Zhen wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "What's so good about meeting that kind of person? Let's go back first; the police and the lawyers will take care of the rest."
Lawyer Gao chuckled, "Madam, it's understandable that Chen Shan doesn't want to meet you. They have lawyers too, who are also foreigners. Since the incident happened abroad and relevant parties involved are also outside the country, they are undoubtedly eager to be extradited back home. If they met with you at this critical time and inadvertently said something they shouldn't, or exposed more than they should, it would only be more disadvantageous for them."
For a fleeting moment, a rare flash of hostility appeared in Gu Xinzhou's eyes.
Zhang Wei thought for a moment, then asked, "By the way, Mrs. Song, can you get in touch with your friend Mr. Cassie? It would be best if he could help us with the investigation in Italy and send the evidence to us, which could save us a lot of time. We need to figure out the truth before the higher-ups agree to the extradition."
"Isn't that unnecessary?" Song Zhen spoke slowly, "The hospital where she gave birth and the doctors at that time..."
Zhang Wei explained with a dissenting tone, "Mrs. Song also mentioned that she left many of her belongings in Italy, and if Mr. Cassie comes back, he could also help bring those things."
