She was carrying two thermos flasks.

She handed them to the two.

“Here.”

Lu Qing turned to look at her, then at the thermos she handed over. He took it.

“Thank you.”

However, he did not touch it. He simply took it and placed it at one side.

As for Huo Jinyan, she had no idea if he was in a daze, but it was as if he did not hear her.

Lin Ci did not insist. After taking it back, she sat at the side with the thermos.

After sitting for about half an hour, they saw Gu Chen and Gu Cheng rus.h.i.+ng in with Li Nian. They simply glanced over before heading straight to the investigation room.

After a while, the three police officers brought the three of them out in a hurry.

Lin Ci stood up anxiously. Before she could ask what was wrong, Lu Qing stood up as he watched them walk out.

Huo Jinyan only raised his eyes to take a look, but he did not show any emotions. He only turned to look at the entrance to the investigation room.

Lu Ning was still inside.

It was as if everything else around him had nothing to do with him.

The alley was dark in the wee hours of the morning. The police held flashlights to illuminate the area as the six of them headed towards Li Nian’s house.

Even after entering through the door they could not see clearly in the dark.

They could only see the pieces of trash under their feet as they entered the room.

Li Nian went in and headed straight for her room. She did not touch anything; she simply stood by the side and leaned against the wall. She pointed at the cabinet opposite the bed. “It’s over there.”

The police officer looked in the direction she was pointing and used his flashlight to illuminate the pinhole camera she was talking about.

Gu Chen turned to look at her. He could not see her expression in the dark, but he could clearly sense her entire body trembling.

He moved closer and slowly reached out to put his arm around her shoulders, trying to comfort her.

Li Nian had already warmed up to Gu Chen, so she felt safe around him and slowly calmed down. She was no longer trembling as badly as before.

They waited for the police to collect the evidence before bringing the three of them back. During this period, Gu Chen had been by Li Nian t s side and had never let go of her wrist.

On the other side, the interrogation of Qian Shu and Li Lang did not go smoothly, as the two of them gave completely different statements. Now, they believed Li Langs account, since what he later confessed matched what Lu Ning had said previously.

On the other hand, Qian Shu refused to relent no matter what. She did not even admit to sending the messages and simply said that she did not have them. However, in the process of collecting evidence, they certainly did see the contents of her phone, so she had no choice but to confess to it.

The group of them returned with the evidence, and Gu Cheng met Qian Shu and Li Lang again.

This time, Gu Cheng looked at them with the demeanor of a judge. He did not express any other emotions, and only stood there, looking down at them with a severe expression.

When Qian Shu saw Gu Cheng, she thought she had seen her savior.

However, Gu Cheng’s words sent her straight to the deepest pits of h.e.l.l.

“Now that we have conclusive evidence, your son Li Langs attempted rape has been made very clear. Your attempted extortion is also very clear to see. My client, Lu Ning, was only acting in self-defense. Do you have anything else to say now?”

Qian Shu looked at Gu Cheng in a daze and even tried to pull strings. “Mr. Lawyer, look, how can that be? That’s impossible. My son is only 17 years old. There’s no way he can do that. Besides, Mr. Lawyer, please save me. If you save me, I’ll give you half of the compensation, okay?”

Qian Shu was no longer wailing like before. Now, she had completely changed.

Her resolve crumbled as she looked towards Gu Cheng..
