Hearing this, Old Master Cui was excited at first. Then, he thought of something and promised heavily, “I definitely won’t let anyone with evil intentions get close to Ah Mai.”
Hearing Old Master Cui’s guarantee, Gu Man felt much more at ease. She casually exchanged a few pleasantries and used an excuse to hang up.
As for Old Master Cui saying that he wanted to reveal his identity, Gu Man had the thought of dragging it out as long as possible.
After all, there would definitely be countless troubles after this matter was made public.
She looked at the message Xiao Xiao sent and realized that Xiao Xiao had gone to the school group chat to take a look. She realized that they had been discussing the news and hurriedly reported the situation to Gu Man.
In the screenshot chat records, there were even people who planned to come over tomorrow to beat around the bush.
However, most of them were watching a good show and looking down on her. Perhaps this was after Xiao Xiao had deliberately avoided those even more vicious words.
…..
Gu Man had a headache and was about to throw her phone aside to wash up and sleep when her phone rang again. She looked at Li Hua’s name and thought that Gu Rou must have caused trouble again.
“Miss Gu, I’m sorry to disturb your sleep at this time.”
“If you have something to say, say it.”
Her already frustrated emotions reached their peak at this moment. Gu Man’s tone was cold, but she still deliberately suppressed the impatience in her voice.
“We’ve confirmed that Mr. Zhang did buy a necklace worth one million yuan at the ghost market auction. It’s just that we don’t know when the auction was held, and we can’t confirm it. However, he showed us a list of items specially issued at the ghost market. The price of the necklace is nine million yuan.”
Hearing Li Hua’s description, Gu Man immediately understood that Gu Rou was probably interfering. Otherwise, how could the necklace that cost tens of millions become nine million?
However, it seemed that their explanation to the ghost market was probably because the Gu and Zhang families had bought this necklace together, so the ghost market only showed the money that Zhang Yue had paid.
She nudged her chin with the tip of her tongue.
“Not long ago, there was an auction at the ghost market. That was when the necklace was bought.”
The moment Li Hua heard the news, his tone was much more excited than before. “Did Miss Gu participate in that auction? Do you have any evidence?”
The corners of Gu Man’s lips curled up. She had just taken a video.
After she added Li Hua on WeChat, she posted the video. In the video, she inadvertently captured the date, which happened to be a few days ago.
Now, Gu Rou’s accusation of slander was probably a sure bet.
Li Hua sent another message of thanks. There was finally progress in this matter. He had already realized that Bureau Chief Ou disliked him more and more. If he did not resolve it, Li Hua felt that Bureau Chief Ou would probably look for trouble to deliberately target him.
However, this matter also allowed Li Hua to completely see the ability of power. It was clearly just a simple slander, but it was because of power that they had not progressed. If Gu Man had not been providing evidence, they would probably still be at the same spot.
“Miss Gu, I apologize for misunderstanding you previously. Although you might not know this, I have to apologize.”
Seeing the message from Li Hua, Gu Man immediately understood that he was apologizing for his disdain for her.
When Li Hua faced the rich and powerful, he did not hide the disgust in his eyes. This was also the reason why Gu Man chose to let him handle this matter.
Because the Gu family would never be able to interfere with the police.
Now that there was a huge development, Gu Rou and Zhang Yue probably didn’t expect that there would be videos circulating of the Ghost Market Auction, right? They were probably still smugly thinking that this matter had already been reversed.
However, they were destined to be disappointed. This matter would soon come to an end. The Gu family’s accusation of slandering their adopted daughter would also be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Gu Man looked at the message from Li Hua on her phone and did not reply. Instead, she threw her phone aside and went to wash up.
Just as Gu Man had guessed, the Gu family had already begun to celebrate.
“As expected, Rou’er’s methods are superb.”
Qu Bei swirled the wine glass in her hand. The wine inside glowed faintly under the light.
She could not stop smiling, as if she had already expected Gu Man’s reputation to be ruined..
