Chapter 496: Chapter 496

"The Lin Family firmly believes that Lin Yueer’s death is inextricably linked to you, given that there was a conflict with you before her death."

"Wait a minute, that wasn’t a conflict, it was her harassing us on her own," Gu Lili corrected. "She came to my place, crazily trying to steal my husband, and I didn’t even say anything. Now the Lin Family is really overstepping, aren’t they?"

"Isn’t it true that there’s no evidence that you killed her?" Ma Shijie whispered so only the two of them could hear, "Without evidence, just based on the Lin Family’s accusations and conjecture, they can’t do anything to you. Just make a formal appearance here, don’t worry, no matter how much pressure is coming from above, without evidence, nobody dares convict you."

Hearing this, Gu Lili asked, "How long do I need to stay here? As you can see, I’m heavily pregnant with twins. Who will be responsible if I give birth prematurely in the police station?"

"48 hours. If they can’t produce any evidence by then, I’ll send you back."

"Okay." Gu Lili sent a message to Su Changzhi, telling him not to make any moves. If it was just about staying here for two days before going back, why stir up trouble?

Although nominally she was called in for an investigation, in reality, she was staying in Ma Shijie’s office.

After the police officer questioned her, Ma Shijie poured her some tea, "Don’t be too nervous, have some water."

"Do you think I seem very nervous?" she smiled and took the cup, "I haven’t done anything wrong, I’m not nervous. The Lin Family really surprises me, throwing such a big accusation so comfortably. From now on, should all sudden deaths be blamed on me? Wouldn’t that eliminate the need for investigations?"

"Your capability is something ordinary people couldn’t possibly have, but every advantage has its disadvantage. Originally, the higher-ups wanted to detain you for half a month. I said how could that be okay? Locking up a pregnant woman for half a month without evidence, that’s abuse of power! I strongly disagreed, presumably, the Lin Family holds a grudge against you."

"Holding a grudge against me is useless," Gu Lili stated bluntly, "If they insist on splashing this dirty water on me, I’m not just going to sit here and let you manipulate me."

"Without evidence, no one dares splatter you with this dirty water. Just relax, consider yourself a guest here these two days," Ma Shijie knew what type of person she was, he certainly didn’t want to offend Gu Lili. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novｅlfire.net

"Sir, Miss Gu has been taken to the police station."

As Long Yubei was about to head to the company, he was stunned, "For what?"

"It seems the Lin Family has accused Miss Gu of murdering Lin Yueer."

"Nonsense." Long Yubei’s face darkened and he returned to his bedroom, taking on Long Chan’s identity to go to the Lin Family.

He did not show himself.

Upon his arrival at the Lin Family, he saw the Lin family members sitting in the living room discussing the matter.

Lin Yueer’s elder brother was furious, "Don’t think that just because we don’t have evidence right now, we are helpless against her. She must understand what the consequences of murder are!"

"Without evidence, we can only detain her for 48 hours. If we forcibly imprison her or demand a life for a life, would the Gu Family and Long Family in City A agree? If this gets out, it will bring severe implications for our father."

Upon hearing her younger son’s words, Mrs. Lin couldn’t help but say, "At this time, is your position more important or is avenging your sister more important? If I can’t see Gu Lili receive her deserved punishment, I would die unwilling."

Just as she finished speaking, she screamed in shock at the sight of the man who appeared before her, "Ah—"

The others were also taken aback.
