“No one wanted this to happen, but now we can only try our best to clean up the aftermath. Since you’re willing to see me, does that mean that you’re willing to talk to me?” Zhao Wenting said.

Lu Qingzhuo also knew that there was no point in venting his anger on the opposing lawyer.

“I’m willing to talk, but the Gu family only sent you. I feel that the Gu family lacks the least bit of sincerity.”

Zhao Wenting hesitated for a moment, but he still told the truth.

“Mr. Lu, to be honest with you, after hearing about young master Gu, master Gu and Mrs. Gu came to the imperial capital. They first went to the police station, but young master’s condition isn’t very good. They’re taking care of young master at the police station and letting me talk to you first.”

After saying that, Zhao Wenting took out his phone and found a video from the photo album.

“Young master Gu’s condition hasn’t been good since he entered the police station…”

As he finished speaking, the video was also played. In the small room used to detain the suspect, Gu Zimu was tied up on the bed. His clothes were messy and he was struggling non-stop, his eyes, which were half covered by his hair, revealed a fierce light. He opened his mouth and shouted hysterically,

“Let me out! I want to find Ran Ran… Lu Qingzhuo! Lu Qingzhuo, I want you dead! You’re all lying to me!”

Gu Zimu only fell asleep after the doctor injected him with a tranquilizer.

At the same time, the scene changed to reveal the faces of Gu Zimu’s parents.

Master Gu had a thin figure and a gentle face. Gu Zimu looked exactly like him. At this moment, the man standing at the top of Rong city looked tired.

Mrs. Gu was well-off and a beautiful lady. Now, she was leaning against her husband, looking at her sleeping son who was crying.

“Mr. Lu, I apologize on behalf of Zimu. He is the only child in the Gu family. I hope you can give him a chance for my sake.”

Master Gu faced the camera and bowed deeply.

Then, the video ended.

Lu Qingzhuo and He Youran didn’t doubt the authenticity of the video, but neither of them expected Gu Zimu to be this crazy.

Of course, there was also the possibility of him acting miserable.

After all, Gu Zimu was the only child in the Gu family. Gu Zimu was as important to the Gu family as Lu Qingzhuo was to the Lu family.

This was almost the same as cutting off one’s descendants.

“You’ve seen young master Gu’s situation…” Zhao Wenting put away his phone, he said sincerely, “So, I hope that you can consider the words of my employer and reconsider the lawsuit. As for the injuries that Miss He and her son has suffered, we are willing to do everything to compensate them.”

“Oh? The Gu family is willing to do everything?” Lu Qingzhuo was a businessman, so he immediately caught the key word.

“Yes…” Zhao Wenting nodded with difficulty, “But please don’t something extreme, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Qingzhuo wanted to laugh.

They want to save their son and not pay the price? How could it be that easy.

“Also, Mrs. Lu…” Zhao Wenting looked at He Youran.

“What’s wrong with me?” He Youran asked.

“Although it’s a little offensive to say this, Mrs. Lu, as you can see, young master Gu doesn’t have the ability to bear criminal responsibility right now. Moreover, you and Mr. Gu were once engaged. During your engagement with Mr. Gu, you have…”

Zhao Wenting paused, he changed his words. “Yes, you were with Mr. Lu during your engagement with Mr. Gu. This was the main reason that caused young master Gu to collapse mentally. I’m afraid that even if it were brought to the judge, he would still consider Mr.. Gu’s feelings.”
