After the whole family went crazy and criticized the movie "Read My Mind", the heroine

Gu Qingchen took a deep breath. He knew that any more explanations would be futile. He straightened his back and looked at Zhou Yunlong firmly.

"Father, I have never done anything against my conscience and morality." Gu Qingchen said frankly, "I don't know the origin of this letter, but the content is definitely not true. I am willing to accept any form of investigation and interrogation to prove my innocence."

Zhou Yunlong stared closely at Gu Qingchen's eyes, trying to see some clues. However, all he saw was determination and calmness. He frowned and began to doubt Li Wushuang's accusation.

"Li Wushuang, where did you get this letter?" Zhou Yunlong suddenly asked.

Li Wushuang was slightly stunned. He did not expect Zhou Yunlong to suddenly ask such a question. He calmed down and replied, "This letter was written by Gu Qingchen himself and delivered to me by his confidant."

"Oh? Where are his confidants now?" Zhou Yunlong continued to ask.

"He...he has left the capital and is nowhere to be found." Li Wushuang replied hesitantly.

Zhou Yunlong sneered, obviously not satisfied with Li Wushuang's answer. He waved his hand, signaling the guards to take Li Wushuang away for strict interrogation. Then, he turned to Gu Qingchen, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.

"Qingchen, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation." Zhou Yunlong spoke slowly, with a hint of expectation and disappointment in his voice: "I don't want my son to do anything that goes against his conscience and morality."

Gu Qingchen took a deep breath. He knew this was his chance to clear his name.

He straightened his back and looked at Zhou Yunlong with a firm gaze.

"Father, I have never done anything to bribe anyone." Gu Qingchen said frankly, "I don't know the origin of this letter, but the content in it is definitely not my fault. I am willing to accept any interrogation and investigation by your father, and I only ask that I be cleared of all charges."

Zhou Yunlong stared closely at Gu Qingchen's eyes. He saw determination, calmness, and a hint of barely perceptible sadness. He couldn't help but start to waver in his heart. Did he really wrongly accuse Qingchen?

The battle between trust and betrayal continues, and Gu Qingchen's fate is as uncertain as a leaf drifting in the wind.

However, no matter what the outcome, he will move forward firmly and will never retreat even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.

After examining Gu Qingchen for a long time, Zhou Yunlong finally made a decision.

He waved his hand and sent someone to imprison Gu Qingchen as well. He would not allow Gu Qingchen to leave the cell until the truth of the matter was found out.

Gu Qingchen did not resist and let the guards take him away. His face remained calm, as if he had already anticipated this result.

After Chen Shuyin learned about this, she was extremely anxious. She immediately found Chen Qiyu and asked him to carry her to the prison to visit Gu Qingchen.

However, when they arrived at the prison gate, they were stopped outside by the jail guards.

"I'm sorry, no one is allowed to enter without the emperor's permission." The jailer said expressionlessly, his eyes sweeping over Chen Shuyin and Chen Qiyu.

Chen Shuyin was so anxious that tears were about to fall. She clutched Chen Qiyu's shoulders tightly, as if she wanted to find some comfort from him.

Chen Qiyu was also extremely anxious. He kept pleading with the jailer, hoping that he could be lenient and allow them to go in to see Gu Qingchen.

Just then, Zhou Xiangbei slowly walked over.

There was a strange smile on his face, as if he had anticipated this scene.

"What? You want to go in and visit Gu Qingchen?" Zhou Xiangbei said sarcastically, "Unfortunately, you can't go in without the permission of the emperor."

Chen Shuyin and Chen Qiyu looked at Zhou Xiangbei at the same time, with a hint of anger and unwillingness in their eyes.

They knew that Zhou Xiangbei was Gu Qingchen's mortal enemy, and he must have appeared at this moment to laugh at them.

However, to their surprise, Zhou Xiangbei suddenly changed the subject.

"But if you are willing to beg me, I can guarantee you and let you go in to see him." Zhou Xiangbei said slowly.

Chen Shuyin and Chen Qiyu looked at each other, they couldn't believe their ears.

Zhou Xiangbei actually offered to guarantee them? What on earth was going on?

"What? You don't believe me?" Zhou Xiangbei saw their hesitant expressions and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, "You have no other choice now but to believe me. Unless you want to wait here forever."

Chen Shuyin and Chen Qiyu looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and decided to trust Zhou Xiangbei once.

They followed Zhou Xiangbei and walked into the prison gate.

Along the way, Zhou Xiangbei didn't say anything, just walked silently.

Chen Shuyin and Chen Qiyu were also worried and didn't know how to start. They walked through the long corridor and finally came to Gu Qingchen's cell.

Gu Qingchen was sitting in the corner of the cell, resting his eyes. He opened his eyes when he heard footsteps, and was stunned when he saw Chen Shuyin, Chen Qiyu and Zhou Xiangbei. He didn't expect them to come to visit him at this time, and he didn't expect Zhou Xiangbei to vouch for them.

"Why are you here?" Gu Qingchen said with a smile, as if he didn't take his experience to heart: "And you brought such an uninvited guest with you."

After Chen Shuyin heard what Gu Qingchen said, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She rushed to the cell, tightly grasped the iron bars, and sobbed and said with her heart: "Are you okay? Did they not embarrass you?"

Gu Qingchen gently patted the back of Chen Shuyin's hand and comforted her, "I'm fine, don't worry. Although this place is a bit shabby, it's still quiet."

Chen Qiyu also walked to the cell and asked with concern: "Did you do those things? If you are really wronged, we will definitely find a way to get you out."

Gu Qingchen looked at Chen Qiyu gratefully and shook his head, saying, "I have never done anything that goes against my conscience and morality. There must be someone behind this, and I believe that my father will find out the truth."

Zhou Xiangbei stood aside and watched all this with a cold smile in his heart. He originally just wanted to see Gu Qingchen's miserable appearance, but he didn't expect to see such a warm scene. He suddenly felt a little dazzling, as if his heart was touched by something.

"Okay, okay, stop crying here." Zhou Xiangbei interrupted their conversation impatiently: "Gu Qingchen, you'd better think about how to defend yourself. Father is not that easy to fool."

Gu Qingchen smiled slightly and ignored Zhou Xiangbei's ridicule. He knew that Zhou Xiangbei must have a purpose for appearing at this moment, but he didn't want to conflict with him at this time. He just sat there quietly, as if waiting for something.
