Chapter 417: Abandoning Her
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon hearing Gu Shan’s words, the police officer on the other end of the line fell silent for a few seconds before responding, “Understood, Captain Gu. Your understanding and cooperation are a blessing to the people and will not hinder our work. We will relay your message as it is.”
The case of Lin Miao had remained untried for a reason. After all, the Gong family’s reputation was at stake. They had to maintain their dignity while handling the case. Moreover, the Gu family was also a prominent household. If the Gong and Gu families did not explicitly abandon Lin Miao, it would be an obstacle, even though she would eventually be convicted, but it would take longer. However, now it was much easier.
Having been around for many years, Gu Shan could discern the underlying implications of the conversation. As Gu Zi had suggested, this approach would shield him from the repercussions and earn him a good reputation, distinguishing him from Lin Miao, his biological daughter.
At the detention center, the police officer who had taken the call quickly relayed the message. Upon hearing it, Lin Miao was stunned, her eyes fixated on the iron bars in front of her. She sat there, motionless, for half an hour.
She needed time to comprehend the implications of the message delivered by the police on behalf of her biological parents. Firstly, it was clear that her adoptive parents were unwilling to plead on her behalf. Had the Lin family completely given up on her?

As Lin Miao reflected on her interactions with the Lin family, she realized that her days with them had been her most relaxed. Her return to the Gu family had not been as pleasant as she had imagined, and was far from her initial expectations.
The Gu family was indeed well-respected in the city, and her biological parents, Gu Shan and Zhang Mei, were of high status, more dignified than her adoptive parents. However, Lin Miao could never find the warmth that the Lin family had given her in her biological parents.
The Gu family did protect her, but Lin Miao knew it was because her lies had deceived them, and their guilt had driven them to do so. It was not the genuine affection that her adoptive parents had shown her.
