One word: Fake!

"Come, come, sit down."

The two let go of each other's hands, and Wang Lin gestured for Gu Yao to sit down before sitting down opposite him.

On the surface, Wang Lin was very polite to Gu Yao, but the disdain and contempt in Wang Lin's eyes were like God looking at an ant.

"This... is Assistant Zhou's daughter?" Wang Lin suddenly looked over.

Zhou Chunhua was startled and unconsciously hugged Nini even tighter.

"If Assistant Zhou had told me directly that you were looking for your daughter, I would have contacted them for you long ago and had them send her back to you."

Look, this isn't a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple; it's like family members not recognizing each other—a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!

Wang Lin suddenly turned his head to look to the side. Zhou Chunhua looked curiously and saw... Xu San!

He was the man they called Third Brother, who walked past them with a gun while she and her children were hiding in the stream.

"Xu San! Come over here quickly, pour some tea for Attorney Gu and Assistant Zhou, and apologize. It's a misunderstanding, but it'll be cleared up soon. In the future, keep your eyes open! I won't be speaking up for you anymore!"

Xu San immediately walked over from that direction.

Wearing a loose-fitting suit, he looked like someone who wouldn't look like a prince even if he were wearing a dragon robe.

With a forced smile, he poured and served tea with utmost respect.

He said, "This is our fault. I'm sorry, Attorney Gu and Assistant Zhou. Please, both of you, be lenient and let me off the hook. If there's anything I can do to help you in the future, just let me know. I, Xu San, will go through fire and water for you."
