Gu Shan had clearly made up his mind. He was ready to sever the emotional cords tying him to the mother-daughter duo.
With a long, weary sigh, he said, "Zhang Mei, you keep insisting that Lin Miao is our biological daughter, and time and again, you've begged me to cover up her mistakes. But look at what she's done now! Never in my wildest imagination did I think she'd go this far, poisoning her own father. I was rushed into emergency care, nearly stopped breathing… all thanks to her.
"I'm utterly, completely disappointed in that girl. I won't shield her anymore. There's nothing left to say. If she deserves prison, let her go to prison. If she needs to be sentenced, so be it. I have no objections. Captain He, if necessary, I'm willing to testify in court."
Zhang Mei's face contorted with a mix of panic and heartbreak. Her husband's cold-heartedness was like a slap across the face.
