In her previous life, Gu Weiwei's heart was cruelly gouged out by the man she loved and transplanted into her most trusted best friend.
Reborn, she unexpectedly becomes the girlfriend of ...
Gu Siting calmly held the meeting, and just as it was about to end, Kuroda Shigeo sent a message.
[It's all arranged.]
After the meeting ended, Gu Siting gave a few instructions to his subordinates and then notified the police officers to go back to the Gu family with him.
Upon arriving at the Gu family's residence, some people looked around the house and questioned the servants.
The team leader stayed behind to continue the conversation with Gu Siting. "Mr. Gu, your fiancée has been missing for so many days, haven't you looked for her at all?"
“In fact, we have already dissolved the engagement,” Gu Siting said.
"Why break off the engagement?"
Gu Siting smiled coldly, "What's the reason for matters of the heart?"
It took police officers nearly an hour to inspect every room in the huge Gu residence.
"Captain, there's a room that leads underground, but we can't get in."
The team leader looked at Gu Siting, "Mr. Gu, would it be convenient for you to show us around?"
“My sister’s body is down there, and I don’t want her to be disturbed.” Gu Siting frowned, looking troubled, and was unwilling to take them down.
“Mr. Gu, this concerns Miss Lingyan’s disappearance. I think… it would be better if you took us to see her.” The team leader requested.
Gu Siting's words seemed flawless, yet something felt off.
Gu Siting remained silent for a few seconds, then got up and led them to the basement, to the crystal coffin where the body was placed.
The police searched the basement but found nothing suspicious.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Gu has passed away, so why... is she still here?"
This is the victim of the murder case that has caused such a stir online, but she never expected that she would end up here.
"This is a private matter for our Gu family."
“Ms. Gu is the victim in the case, and we need to take her body back for further examination,” the team leader said.
"I refuse this request," Gu Siting said coldly.
"Mr. Gu..."
"I've given you what you wanted to see and what you wanted to ask, but no one is allowed to take her away." Gu Siting glanced coldly at the group and said to the butler, "Send them out."
As the group left the Gu family residence, one of them looked at the vast Gu family manor and sighed.
"Captain, are we just going to leave the investigation into the Gu family like this?"
"How can we just let this go?" The team leader said, watching the Gu family manor recede into the distance. "Hiding Miss Gu's body in the basement, and Ling Yan disappearing after breaking up with him, and then being last seen at the Gu family home—it's hard not to suspect something."
"Captain, are you saying that Ling Yan's disappearance is related to Mr. Gu?" an officer asked in surprise.
“If he knew how Gu Weiwei died before breaking up with Ling Yan, do you think it’s related to him?” the team leader said.
Everything seemed to be related to him, but Gu Siting's answers made it seem like none of it was related to him. It was too strange.
“Even if this is really related to him, how are we supposed to investigate someone so important?” one police officer sighed.
Even the people in the Presidential Palace have to give the Gu family face, let alone them.
"Now that things have blown up so much, we have to grit our teeth and keep investigating even if we can't figure it out," the team leader said.
The victim was the daughter of the Gu family, and the suspect was an internationally renowned actress. This incident has attracted a lot of attention.
If they don't investigate further, it won't appease public anger at all.
