Chapter 1201: Li Li’s Plan

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Shan had clearly made up his mind. He was ready to sever the emotional cords tying him to the mother-daughter duo.

With a long, weary sigh, he said, "Zhang Mei, you keep insisting that Lin Miao is our biological daughter, and time and again, you’ve begged me to cover up her mistakes. But look at what she’s done now! Never in my wildest imagination did I think she’d go this far, poisoning her own father. I was rushed into emergency care, nearly stopped breathing... all thanks to her.

"I’m utterly, completely disappointed in that girl. I won’t shield her anymore. There’s nothing left to say. If she deserves prison, let her go to prison. If she needs to be sentenced, so be it. I have no objections. Captain He, if necessary, I’m willing to testify in court." freewebnøvel.coɱ

Zhang Mei’s face contorted with a mix of panic and heartbreak. Her husband’s cold-heartedness was like a slap across the face.

In desperation—and perhaps vengeance—she decided to drag him down with her. Pointing a trembling finger at his nose, she snapped, "You were there when Miao Miao planned all this. You knew exactly what she was up to. Don’t think you can wash your hands of it. If we go down, you’re coming with us!"

But Gu Shan, it seemed, had already rehearsed this scene in his mind. He let out a bitter laugh and responded smoothly, as if reciting lines from a well-practiced script. "Do you take me for a fool? That day, when we returned from Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop, the two of you insisted I drink that white fungus soup. Then, you brought me some pastries, saying the soup was too bland on its own. I remember feeling oddly touched—’Ah,’ I thought, ’Miao Miao is finally growing up, being thoughtful.’ Little did I know, the moment I finished eating, I began vomiting and had diarrhea so bad I had to be rushed to the hospital."

"Captain He," he turned, voice growing firmer, "I can absolutely testify that the white fungus soup didn’t poison me. It was the pastries—those pastries given to me by this mother-daughter pair. After I regained consciousness, Zhang Mei demanded I cooperate with them, or she’d threaten me using my son—she said she’d make it so I couldn’t show my face in the compound again.

"And now that I’ve seen Gu Zi again, I simply can’t go on living this lie. I don’t care about my reputation anymore. Yes, I do have a biological son out there. As for Zhang Mei, our marriage has been dead for years. I’ve asked for a peaceful divorce more times than I can count, but she refused every time. So don’t blame me for this. Once this mess is over, let’s get divorced."

Captain He immediately picked up on the crucial detail in his testimony and repeated for confirmation, "So you’re saying the food from Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop was fine, but the pastries Lin Miao gave you were the real problem?"

"Exactly," Gu Shan replied without hesitation. "And those pastries must’ve contained the illegal drugs Lin Miao brought back from the capital."

Lin Miao, cornered and indignant, refused to accept the narrative. "Captain He! How can you be so sure the drugs I brought back were even in those pastries? You can’t just pin this on me without proof! I don’t accept it!"

Gu Zi chuckled softly, as though watching a tragicomic drama unfold before her eyes. She looked at Lin Miao and said coolly, "Why so nervous? Captain He is only recording statements; no verdict has been issued yet. But don’t worry, yours will be confirmed very soon. Captain He, has Li Li arrived yet? Bring her in."

At the mention of that name—"Li Li"—Lin Miao visibly recoiled. She staggered backward and collapsed to the floor in shock.
