“Rou’er, what’s going on? Wasn’t Gu Man supposed to get expelled?” Qu Bei asked anxiously.

“It’s all the Bai family’s fault. Their sudden appearance disrupted everything!” Gu Rou complained.

“Bai Family? Which Bai Family?”

“Which other Bai family in Han City?”

“You’re talking about the Bai family, one of the top four families in Han City? That’s impossible, right? Why would he help Gu Man?” Qu Bei did not believe that a country bumpkin like Gu Man could get to know the Bai family in just a few months.

“You’re asking me, but who am I supposed to ask? That was what had happened!” Gu Rou was frustrated. Although Zhang Yue hated Gu Man even more now, not only was Gu Man unscathed, she had also dragged the Li Family down.

Moreover, looking at how the Bai family and that mysterious man protected Gu Man, she was furious.

“I don’t know what the outcome is now. We have to inform your father quickly and go to the police station. We can’t afford to offend the Li family!” Qu Bei finally remembered that Gu Yuan still didn’t know about this.

In the police station.

Gu Man sat at Ou Yang’s table.

Every question that Ou Yang asked was answered by Gu Man. Every reply was clear and reasonable, and they were all vital to establishing Li Guo’s criminal case.

Ou Yang was a little suspicious. She felt that this girl in front of him had come prepared.

In order to produce such logical and well-supported answers, one must first know the rules of criminal law and match them according to Li Guo’s actions.

If Gu Man knew what Ou Yang was thinking, she would definitely say, “Chief Ou, congratulations, you guessed correctly!”

How could she be reckless?

After all, she could only rely on herself now. Wouldn’t she be digging her own grave if she acted on a whim?

“Although I haven’t been able to give you the exact results yet, according to the current situation, Li Guo can’t avoid his criminal offense. If the Gu family insists on proceeding with this case, then Li Guo might have to go to jail for a year or two,” Ou Yang concluded.

Ou Yang pondered for a moment before saying, “If we proceed with this case, Li Guo’s life will end here. He won’t be able to participate in the college entrance examination in three months, and he will have a criminal record for the rest of his life. Of course, that is unless your Gu family withdraws the lawsuit and chooses to settle it privately.”

“No!” Gu Man said firmly.

“Okay, I’ll organize the rest first. You go back first and wait to help assist with the case at any time.”

At the same time, at the Gu family residence.

A shrill cry sounded.

Li Guo’s grandmother was crying to Old Madame Gu. “You have to save my grandson!”

Li Guo’s mother, on the other hand, was furious. “The Gu family and my Li family have always helped each other and have many business dealings. Now, you want to make a fuss and bring this matter to the police station. Does this mean that the two families will never work together again?”

This was a clear threat to the Gu family.

Qu Bei also knew in her heart that the Gu family’s foundation was inferior to the Li family’s. Now that the Gu family’s business was cooperating with the Li family, if they did not have the business from the Li family, the Gu family would be in trouble.

Now that things had come to this, if they did not handle it well, the Gu family’s business would suffer a huge blow.

It was all because of the troublemaker, Gu Man.

Qu Bei quickly comforted her. “Mrs. Li, how can I not understand? But you were also there. The Gu family couldn’t do anything back then.”

Li Guo’s mother recalled that it was the Bai family who looked for Chief Ou at that time. Chief Ou came over directly to take him away. The Gu family indeed had no say in it at that time. Moreover, they had already agreed to apologize.

Could it be that the Bai family was helping the Gu family? This was a difficult situation to deal with.

Li Guo’s mother’s heart turned cold at the thought of this. If they had the Bai family, the Gu family did not need to fear losing the Li family.

“We called Gu Yuan and made things clear to him. As long as the Gu family insists on withdrawing the case, this matter will be over,” Qu Bei said hurriedly when she saw Li Guo’s mother’s face fall.

“Has Gu Yuan gone to the police station now?” Li Guo’s mother saw hope.

“Yes, I told you not to worry. The Gu and Li families have been in business for many years. How can they cut ties just because of this?! What do you say?”

“Does Bai Yun know your Gu Man?” Li Guo’s mother asked. She actually wanted to ask if the Gu family and the Bai family were related.

“They’ve met twice, right?” Gu Rou saw that Qu Bei wanted to deny it and quickly interrupted.

She had seen how the Li Family threatened them just now. If the Gu family and the Bai family were related, the Li family would definitely be afraid.

Qu Bei smiled apologetically. “Mrs. Li, I’ll bring Gu Man to apologize to your family. I’ll teach her a lesson.”

The Li family heaved a sigh of relief and left.
