Feeling the weight of everyone’s scrutiny, the driver grew increasingly uneasy. “Why the stares? Isn’t this typical drama fodder among the affluent?”

Lin Ran was at a loss for words.

Gu Yang shared a similar suspicion regarding Gu Zhaoming’s brother’s involvement.

However, lacking substantial knowledge about the Gu family’s main branch and Gu Zhaoming’s rift with them, they needed clarification from Gu Zhaoming himself.

As Gu Yang and the others prepared to exit the interrogation room, the driver hastily interjected, “I’m cooperating actively now, even offering suggestions. Can’t you reduce my sentence? Even a few months would suffice!” freewёbnoνel.com

Lin Ran retorted firmly, “Dream on. Our judiciary upholds fairness and integrity. There’s no leniency for lawbreakers!”

The driver:? Damn it, then who was spouting about money talks and resembling a corrupt official?

Leading the way, Lin Ran glanced back at Gu Yang with admiration. “You’re truly remarkable. You extracted valuable information with just a few words, no hypnosis needed.”

Yet, a twinge of regret colored his words. “I was hoping to witness your hypnotic skills again.”

Feng Jue chimed in, “Do you need hypnosis even for this?”

Lin Ran was left speechless, sensing the disdain from the elite.

Gu Yang smiled knowingly. “Under hypnosis, one’s consciousness isn’t lucid, and their statements may contradict their true will. Consequently, such testimony isn’t admissible, correct?”

Despite hypnosis potentially revealing subconscious truths, the reliability of testimony obtained under its influence remained uncertain. Who could ascertain whether the hypnotized individual spoke their genuine thoughts or was manipulated by the hypnotist?

Lin Ran’s expression turned solemn. “Indeed. While hypnosis can aid investigations, courts typically disregard testimony obtained through it.”

“Unless corroborated by multiple hypnotists in a mutant-related case, it lacks legal standing.”

Back in the reception area,

Lin Ran briefed Gu Zhaoming on the interrogation outcomes.

Gu Zhaoming, holding a cup of tea, tensed at the mention of “the Gu family in the capital,” his grip tightening, eyes darkening.

Though he had relinquished his heir status, his siblings seemed persistent in their designs.

Were they wary he might challenge their father’s position upon returning to the capital? Or concerned he’d stake a claim to assets upon his return?

“Lin, thank you for handling the car incident. Pursue the investigation as you see fit. You needn’t concern yourself with the Gu family,” Gu Zhaoming stated.

Navigating family disputes among the affluent posed a challenge, especially for an upright official. Lin Ran, himself hailing from the Eight Great Clans, refrained from meddling in others’ family affairs, lest it invite unnecessary trouble.

Furthermore, following the typical modus operandi of affluent families, they would undoubtedly scapegoat someone eventually.

Lin Ran harbored no intentions of engaging in a life-or-death struggle over this case. Instead, he resolved to remember and settle scores upon his return to the capital, ensuring those who harmed his wife and daughter faced retribution!

Lin Ran offered a smile. “Honestly, I didn’t contribute much. It’s largely thanks to your family’s cooperation.”

Gu Jin interjected, “If you’re aware, there’s no need to verbalize it.”

Lin Ran found himself rendered speechless.

It seemed Godly Doctor Gu harbored some reservations about him!

Merely because he referred to Gu Yang as “sister”?

As anticipated by Gu Zhaoming, the car accident case eventually fell under the jurisdiction of the Gu family’s butler in the capital.

The Gu family’s butler was arrested for premeditated assault.

According to the butler’s confession, he nursed a grudge against Gu Zhaoming for an incident two decades prior during his tenure in the Gu family. Witnessing Gu Zhaoming’s prosperous career and his children excelling academically, jealousy consumed him, leading him to orchestrate the hit on Gu Zhaoming’s daughter to derail her college entrance prospects.
