Lin Juzhen's tears flowed instantly.
When she did that, she knew that the county magistrate was no ordinary person, but... her precious son's life was in someone else's hands, and she had no choice but to comply.
Now that they've returned, they haven't killed her directly; clearly, they want to get something out of her.
But… although her son was sent abroad by that person back then, she always knew that if that person could send her son abroad, they could also make him disappear without a trace. Therefore…
Originally, she really didn't dare to say anything.
Even if it meant death, she wouldn't dare. After all, her son's life was still in those people's hands...
But now...
Because of a small remittance slip, the person in front of her also had the possibility of finding her son—although it was only a possibility, Lin Juzhen dared not gamble at all. Her son was someone she had carried for ten months, raised with great hardship, and was her only relative, her true lifeline… Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, she dared not gamble.
Moreover, she knew that the County Magistrate Gu was no ordinary person; his influence was beyond what a mere commoner like her could fathom.
Just like that person back then.
Her son was such a well-behaved and good child, yet he suddenly became a murderer, and in full view of everyone... She simply couldn't believe it wasn't a setup orchestrated by someone.
That's fine.
The other party was able to get her son, who had been sentenced to death, out of prison unharmed and even send him abroad... Such ability was something a commoner like her could not afford to offend.
And County Magistrate Gu... as his enemy (?), how much worse could he be?
What should he do?
They said... their son would be harmed by that person from back then.
If they don't say anything... are they supposed to wait until they find the person, bring them to her, and actually cut them up piece by piece for her to see?
Just thinking about it made Lin Juzhen feel as if her heart was being torn apart, and tears welled up in her eyes like a spring...
Unfortunately, Gu Ying is a heartless person and naturally wouldn't soften because of other people's tears.
Black Panther followed Gu Ying's lead without question.
As for the others?
Oh……
Didn't you see that Leopard didn't say anything?
Moreover, when it comes to threatening people, Master Gu is really good at it; they should learn from him…
Uh... no, that's not right.
It seems that what Master Gu said wasn't a threat at all.
Did he really intend to do that?
Needless to say, regardless of Gu Ying's thoughts, even these thugs felt that Gu Ying really wanted to do it. Therefore, Lin Juzhen, a woman who was already in a state of confusion and fear, was even more convinced that what Gu Ying said was his true intention.
Therefore, after kowtowing, weeping, and pleading to no avail, Lin Juzhen miraculously rushed to Black Panther's desk, took a pen from the pen holder that Black Panther had used as 'decoration', grabbed a book, and quickly wrote on it: Which child hasn't died! You can't hurt my son!
By now, Gu Ying had pretty much guessed this outcome, but just to be on the safe side, he still gave a cold laugh.
"Oh……"
A cold laugh escaped Lin Juzhen's lips, and her heart sank involuntarily. Nevertheless, she continued typing furiously: "She really didn't die! The child was a girl. I just swapped her for a stillborn baby! I had no choice. I never intended to harm or kill anyone; I only wanted to save lives… Otherwise, I wouldn't have studied medicine!!!"
