Nan Qiao listened to their words, feeling extremely disappointed. She looked at Lan Zhiming and Jiang Peishan coldly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm no longer a member of the Lan family, and I don't want to return to the Lan family anymore."

Lan Zhiming frowned. "Don't you miss the family affection we once had at all? Is there anyone as heartless as you?"

"The family affection you once had? When you kicked me out of the house and severed all ties with me, did you ever think about family affection? Now you're using family affection to threaten me. Don't you think it's too late?"

"In your eyes, I've always been someone you could easily discard. And as for Lan Jingcheng, he tried every possible way to frame me for his own selfish reasons. Do you think I'll ever forgive him?"

She thought she would cry, feel wronged as before, and question Lan Zhiming and Jiang Peishan as before, asking why they were treated so differently since they were both her children.

But she didn't feel sad now, nor did she want to cry at all.

Nan Qiao took a deep breath, calmed down, then turned to look at Zhao Gang and asked, "Uncle Zhao Gang, if I don't agree to reconcile, what punishment will Lan Jingcheng receive?"

Zhao Gang replied, "Given the egregious nature of his rumor-mongering and provoking trouble, if our bureau hadn't promptly stopped it, it would have likely disrupted public order and caused a serious social impact. He would have been administratively detained and fined."

"At the same time, his career will be greatly affected. We cannot allow people who have a bad influence to become public figures."

After hearing this, Lan Jingcheng finally panicked. He never thought that this matter would become so serious and have such a serious impact on him!

Lan Jingcheng's face was as pale as paper. Under the fear that was like a mountain pressing down on his head, his former pride and self-esteem collapsed in an instant.

He stumbled towards Nan Qiao, then his knees went weak and he knelt down heavily.

"Nan Qiao, I was totally wrong. I shouldn't have wronged you. You are my sister. I have always treated you very badly. It's all my fault."

Lan Jingcheng's voice trembled violently, his eyes filled with pleading and longing. He looked at Nan Qiao with a very humble attitude, "Can you please forgive me?"

Nan Qiao looked indifferently at Lan Jingcheng who was kneeling in front of her, with no emotion in her heart, as if she was looking at a stranger.

Once upon a time, she longed for love and fair treatment from her family, but repeated disappointments had already made her heart as hard as steel.

"Not good." Nan Qiao shook his head.

"Uncle Zhao Gang, I gave you a chance, but you rejected it.

"Even if you kneel down and apologize now, it's too late. People have to be responsible for their own actions." Nan Qiao's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes revealed determination.

Lan Jingcheng stared at Nan Qiao in despair. He stretched out his trembling hand and tried to pull the corner of Nan Qiao's clothes, but Nan Qiao dodged him mercilessly.

"From now on, don't call me sister. I don't have a brother like you." After saying this, Nan Qiao turned around resolutely and trotted out of the police station.

Lin Yue followed Zhao Gang out quickly without his instructions.

Lan Jingcheng slumped on the ground like mud, tears of regret flowing freely like a broken dam.

Lan Zhiming and Jiang Peishan could only watch Nan Qiao's departing back, their hearts filled with regret and helplessness.

As night falls, the city lights twinkle like stars.

Jiang Peishan called Lan Xuxue and asked her to go to the police station and briefly explained the punishment Lan Jingcheng was about to receive.

Lan Xuxue frowned. Didn't Big Brother say that the problem could be easily solved? How could this happen?

I don’t know whether the third brother revealed the fact that she provided the photos and instigated him to post them online. If so, would she be arrested?

A strong sense of fear surged in Lan Xuxue's heart, as if an invisible big hand was tightly strangling her throat.

After a moment, Lan Xuxue calmed down and hurriedly ran to the police station.

Along the way, her heart was beating as fast as a drum, and all kinds of terrible consequences kept appearing in her mind.

When she arrived at the police station, Lan Xuxue saw Lan Zhiming, Jiang Peishan and Lan Yuchen at a glance.

She walked forward quickly, a look of concern on her face, and a hint of urgency in her voice: "Mom and Dad, how is my brother? What's going on?"

"Why did Third Brother receive such a severe punishment for just spreading rumors?"

Lan Zhiming sighed helplessly, "It's all our fault for being too indulgent with Lan Jingcheng. He developed such a dandy character."

"It's something that could be resolved with just an apology, but it has to get to this point."

Lan Yuchen snorted coldly with a sullen face, "Hasn't he always loved to play? Now he's got himself into trouble, he deserves it!"

Through a few words from several people, Lan Xuxue understood the general situation and she gritted her teeth.

She just wanted to embarrass Nan Qiao a little, but she didn't expect it would hurt her third brother so badly.

"What about the third brother?"

"What else can we do? Now that things have come to this, Lan Jingcheng can only take this as a lesson. I hope he will be more restrained in the future and not make such mistakes again." Lan Yuchen said with a disappointed look.

"Then, are there other people involved in this matter?" Lan Xuxue asked the question she wanted to know most.

Lan Yuchen glanced at her and said, "Old Zhang and the other media have been warned and educated. Lan Jingcheng is the person involved, so the punishment will be more severe."

That's it? Lan Xuxue didn't ask this question out loud, fearing that Lan Yuchen would become suspicious. She felt relieved, thinking that her third brother hadn't betrayed her.

"The police will issue a notice about Lan Jingcheng tonight. The Lan Group needs to conduct urgent public relations. I have to go back to the company to deal with these matters. I'm leaving first."

Before leaving, Lan Yuchen glanced at Lan Xuxue, and his deep eyes made Lan Xuxue feel guilty.

The night is as dark as ink, and the hustle and bustle of the city gradually fades away in the darkness.

However, this night was destined to be restless.

That evening, the police quickly issued a notice that Lan was administratively punished for deliberately spreading rumors, with ten days of detention and a fine.

As soon as the news came out, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves.

The game company where Lan Jingcheng worked responded extremely quickly. Almost at the same time as the announcement was released, it issued a statement announcing the termination of the contract with Lan Jingcheng and clearly stating that everything concerning Lan Jingcheng had nothing to do with the company.

The company was eager to distance itself from the matter, as if Lan Jingcheng was a time bomb that could explode at any time.

At the same time, Lan Yuchen, as the representative of the Lan Group, had to stand up.

He used the company account to publish a long article, apologizing to the public on behalf of the Lan Group for Lan Jingcheng's actions.

"As the eldest brother, I failed to discipline my younger brother, and I feel deeply guilty about this. The Lan Group has always upheld the values ​​of integrity and responsibility, and we will not tolerate Lan Jingcheng's misconduct. We will take this as a lesson and strengthen the education and management of family members to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again."

"Lan Yuchen's voice was low and firm, and every word seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
