Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Sun Chuxia Voluntarily Surrenders to the Authorities Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart tightened as she remembered her father’s car accident from her previous life; it too had ended in an explosion, but with two people inside. One was Gu Tianfeng, and the other was the driver of the small passenger car. The hands that Gu Qiaoqiao had placed under the table were clenched tightly together. After a moment, she looked up and asked Zhou Xing, “Big Brother Zhou, will it take a long time to catch the culprit?” Zhou Xing frowned and said, “This case has been classified as a major case of the year, and we will prioritize solving it, but as for the timeframe, it’s hard to say. It could be a month, or it could be a year.” Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t speak again. That was normal. She knew that some cases might be solved in just a few days, but others, spread far and wide, might take years to resolve successfully. Moreover, Gu Qiaoqiao knew that the two who had slipped away like cicadas shedding their shells must have already left the boundaries of Qingshui County by now. Perhaps, they wouldn’t reappear for some time. Because an arrest warrant had already been issued. Another key point was that there were people behind these two, and perhaps someone else was responsible for the rendezvous. What exactly was going on? Gu Qiaoqiao thought of many possibilities, only to dismiss them all. The current Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t have any prejudice against Qin Yize, because she really couldn’t think of anything the Gu Family had that others would covet. Parents, siblings… They were all just ordinary Northern people. Her sister and brother hadn’t even been to the city center, let alone the provincial capital. And the only one who could be considered worldly was herself. Because she had married such an outstanding man. But what did that have to do with Sun Chuxia? Sun Yingke was Zhu Jianguo’s partner, and not familiar with Qin Yize. Furthermore, although Sun Chuxia and the Sun family of the Imperial Capital shared the same roots, they were almost as estranged as enemies. Moreover, this wasn’t something one or two people could accomplish on their own. And what was the motive? What did Gu Tianfeng’s murder have to do with Qin Yize? But beyond that, Gu Qiaoqiao truly couldn’t think of any other possibilities. The group took a short rest before heading to the hospital, where Gu Tianfeng’s blood was sent for testing. The doctor examined all three of them, prescribed some medicine, and there wasn’t anything serious to worry about; they just needed to avoid catching a cold again. Surprisingly, the three of them had pretty good constitutions. In fact, Gu Qiaoqiao had already transferred that warm breath to them through casual contact just before. People who could dive into the freezing river without blinking an eye, Gu Qiaoqiao wouldn’t let them suffer from illness later on. And in the future, she would repay these two people. And Luo Fan as well. If it weren’t for them and the other officers, perhaps her father would have really been in trouble. Before Zhou Xing arrived, no one knew that those two officers were impostors. If she hadn’t known, even a master detective wouldn’t have been able to ascertain Gu Tianfeng’s whereabouts. If she hadn’t followed them, her father would still be submerged in the icy river at this very moment. Until his spiritual energy was exhausted, with no power left to return. So today, she was truly grateful to Zhou Xing for rushing over to Stone Town to investigate and gather evidence; otherwise, she didn’t dare contemplate the consequences. After jumping into the river, at that last critical moment, she had been exhausted, but thankfully Zhou Xing and Tian Hai arrived in time. And then Luo Fan appeared just in time. At this very moment, Gu Qiaoqiao’s initial thoughts had changed somewhat. Although one can’t rely entirely on others, having friends who can help you out when something goes wrong is a very good thing in this world. In the sickroom, Gu Tianfeng slept on, and Gu Qiaoqiao did not leave his side but sat there keeping watch. Not until the next morning did Gu Tianfeng slowly open his eyes. Seeing his eldest daughter sleeping uneasily at the table, Gu Tianfeng’s eyes instantly moistened, having escaped death. Gu Qiaoqiao, however, was suddenly jolted awake. Seeing Gu Tianfeng awake, she forgot everything else, hugged her father, and sobbed uncontrollably. Luo Fan and Zhou Xing, who had been about to enter, were scared thinking something had happened to Gu Tianfeng. Afterward, Gu Tianfeng stayed there for two more days, and the blood test results came out, containing components of an unknown drug that could render people unconscious. This drug is not for sale on the current market. Not even hospitals have it. But the drug in that cup of water came from the same source as this one. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In other words, Sun Chuxia had given Gu Tianfeng water that had been spiked with the drug. By then, Gu Tianfeng’s health had fully recovered. Even the doctors felt that Gu Tianfeng had excellent physical constitution. His recovery ability was also very strong. Thus, he was discharged from the hospital. He arrived home that afternoon. And on that same morning, Sun Chuxia went to the county police station and turned herself in. Crying her eyes out, she confessed her wrongdoings, saying it was because she was too fond of Gu Tianfeng that she lost her mind and wanted to present a fait accompli. But she had not expected the hallucinogenic drug to be ineffective, and then she foolishly made a mistake. Her decision to report the case was also an impulsive act. As for the origin of the drug, she had bought it the previous winter from a health clinic in a back alley in the Imperial Capital. As for which clinic, she simply couldn’t remember; she was not familiar with the Imperial Capital. She hoped for a chance to reform. No matter how she was sentenced, she hoped to make a public apology to Gu Tianfeng in front of the whole school, to clear his name. And indeed, this proposal won people’s hearts. Upon learning of Sun Chuxia’s response, Gu Qiaoqiao instinctively felt that Sun Chuxia must have had an expert guiding her. Not to mention anything else, just consider her move of turning herself in. It was a smart play. Seeing no way out, she surrendered voluntarily. According to the relevant legal provisions, turning oneself in is met with a more lenient treatment. It’s just like the slogan says, “Confess to receive leniency, resist and face severity.” Sun Chuxia’s actions could be considered either significant or minor. But they weren’t enough to warrant a heavy sentence. Now Sun Chuxia suggested making a public apology at a school assembly, explaining the truth of the matter, and completely vindicating Gu Tianfeng. The Gu Family found this proposal hard to refuse. Although the middle school in Stone Town already knew that Teacher Gu had been drugged by Teacher Sun, then taken away by a fake officer, knocked out, and thrown into the big river under Liuye Bridge, had he not been rescued in time, he would have died long ago. Thus, most people knew that Gu Tianfeng had been wronged. But there were some who reveled in the chaos and continued to spread rumors. There are always those who only believe what they choose to believe. After Sun Chuxia’s actions, Gu Tianfeng would finally be able to clear his name completely. As for the rest, Gu Qiaoqiao thought that even if Sun Chuxia couldn’t get off scot-free, she wouldn’t face severe punishment. If someone had committed murder, there were still sentencing reprieves and commutations to consider. Moreover, this was but a case of love turning to hatred. A few days’ detention, and even if there was a sentence, a one-year sentence suspended for three could mean the whole matter would eventually come to naught.
