The guests at the main table turned their gazes towards the entrance. At a table adjacent to the main one, Gu Zi calmly peeled an orange for Su Shen, offering it to him with the words, “To quench your thirst.”

Gu Zi felt that they had traveled a long way to attend this event, and it would be a shame to let hunger spoil the show. Su Shen accepted the orange with a word of thanks, his gaze never leaving Gu Zi. Every now and then, he would reach out to gently brush a stray hair from her forehead. His tender attentiveness made Boss Huo shudder. It was terrifying, too terrifying. When had Su Shen ever acted this way before?

At the entrance of the banquet hall, several individuals dressed in police uniforms appeared. The one leading the group was particularly tall and robust, his energetic demeanor and striking features drawing more than a few lingering glances.

Before anyone could speculate about his identity, he produced his badge and announced to the crowd, “Police business. The host of the banquet, please step forward!”

The room fell silent. Police business? What was going on? The guests exchanged puzzled glances, completely at a loss.

Gu Shan and the others at the main table also looked questioningly at He Ming.

They had invited Captain He to the banquet, but they certainly hadn’t asked him to conduct an investigation. Gu Shan, feeling inexplicably nervous, asked, “Deputy Chief He, what does your son mean by this?”

Among the guests, some recognized the leading officer as He Ming’s son, Captain He. This only added to their confusion. Wasn’t Captain He here to attend Lin Miao’s banquet?

Why was he in uniform, announcing that he was here on official business? And judging by his demeanor, he certainly didn’t seem to be joking.

He Ming, however, appeared perfectly composed. It was clear that he knew exactly why his son was here. He didn’t even bother to feign ignorance, stating flatly, “You’ll have to ask your daughter about that.”

Gu Shan turned to Lin Miao, but she could only shake her head in bewilderment. She had no idea what was going on.

At these words, Lin Miao’s face drained of color. Her lips trembled involuntarily, and her fingertips quivered.

How could it be because of this? Hadn’t this matter been settled? Wasn’t MO Li already on her side?

Lin Miao was utterly baffled. She had thought that by bribing MO Li and quickly spending the gift money, the matter would be impossible to trace.

“What’s going on?” The others were also taken aback, their eyes darting between the Gong family and Lin Miao, as if demanding an explanation.

Mr. Gong’s face darkened. Mrs. Chen’s usually composed smile froze on her face. Gong Zhan’s brow furrowed as he stared coldly at Lin Miao. His gaze then shifted to Gu Zi, who hadn’t followed them. A thought forcefully emerged in his mind: She’s the one causing trouble!

Gong Zhan was convinced it must be Gu Zi. She couldn’t bear to see Lin Miao marrying him, so she must have orchestrated today’s events..
