She wouldve never expected her happy return to turn into this scene in front of her.

Realizing that Gu Qingjiu was Gu Hongs daughter, they no longer tried to stop her and instead released their hold on her, letting her go forward.

Gu Qingjiu stopped in front of Gu Hong, she was anxious and in disbelief. Dad, exactly what happened?

Surprise filled the policeman holding Gu Hong upon seeing Gu Qingjius uniform, hence he explained on Gu Hongs behalf.

Your father was involved in financial fraud. Together with a few other people, they plotted and scammed tens of millions of dollars from others. One of the suspects already fled. We are arresting your father under the law to assist in the investigation.

Fraud? Thats impossible!

Gu Qingjiu wouldnt believe it no matter what.

She was very clear about what kind of person her father was.

But Gu Hongs lips trembled as if he couldnt face his daughter. I I treated him as a friend but I didnt expect him to do such a thing!

Gu Qingjiu instantly understood.

Her father trusted his friend, but he ended up deceived.

But somehow, she felt that this case was not that simple.

After explaining to Gu Qingjiu, the policeman brought Gu Hong away.

Gu Qingjiu was a soldier. She was clear that it was illegal to obstruct the police while they were on duty.

She could only watch as the police took her father away.

Gu Hong turned to take one last look at her, pain evident in his eyes. Your mom is upstairs. Go up and comfort her. Nothing will happen to me. Im going with them by will.

But he knew that there was one thing which he couldnt hide from Gu Qingjiu.

If his friend ran away and avoided arrest, the suspicion would definitely be pinned on her father.

And once the time is up, her father might even face a jail term should the victim sue him!

She watched her fathers wary silhouette enter the police car. He even looked like he aged decades within a night.

Gu Qingjiu couldnt control herself. Her legs went weak, and she almost fell on the shelf behind her.

Aiya, spare me some trouble.

Chen Yanhong walked over and looked condescendingly at her. Aish, a criminals daughter.

But her words caused Gu Qingjius gaze to shift dramatically.

Her eyes reddened as she glared daggers at her. She then reached out to strangle Chen Yanhongs neck. Her voice was dark like a demon as she snarled, My dad is not a criminal!

Chen Yanhong didnt expect Gu Qingjiu to use violence, so she couldnt defend herself. The force Gu Qingjiu used caused her eyes to turn white.

And blood rushed up to her face, causing it to turn red.

Let her go.

Just when Gu Qingjiu was about to lose her sanity, someone walked over and gently tugged at Gu Qingjius elbow. That gesture alone made Gu Qingjiu release Chen Yanhong.

Chen Yanhong screamed as she fled outside.

She yelled, Murderer. The criminals daughter is killing someone!!

But no one in the mart acknowledged her words.

He Niangcheng pulled Gu Qingjiu back, and when their eyes met, all she saw was the calmest gaze. It was as if his gaze was shining in the most gorgeous and soulful light.

Calm down a little. You shouldnt be so rash. Your mothers upstairs. Go up and comfort her. The person who deceived your father, I will catch him within a day.

Only

Such powerful words pulled Gu Qingjiu back from her trance. She looked at He Nianchengs indifferent and unworldly handsome face.

Tears of gratefulness welled up in Gu Qingjius eyes. Chief Instructor, I dont know how to thank you

There are some things which are beyond your control, and I can help you with those. As for the rest, you have to settle them yourself.

A person so proud and high up, why would he help a person like her?

Gu Qingjiu looked at him as her vision blurred. Chief Instructor, why are you always helping me?

He straightened his posture and let go of her elbows. His eyes were as clear as the moonlight. And his supposedly cold voice that could seep into the deepest parts of peoples hearts resounded in the air

Because I met you.
