Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

Chapter 77 A Glimmer of Dawn: Finding a Key Clue

"It's you?!" I exclaimed in surprise.

Sitting in the corner was none other than Attorney Wu! What was he doing here? Could he be K?

Attorney Wu looked up, saw me, and was clearly taken aback for a moment before revealing a complicated smile.

"Miss Miao, I didn't expect you to come."

I suppressed my shock and sat down opposite him.

"Attorney Wu, did you send this letter to me?" I took out the anonymous letter and placed it on the table.

He nodded, not denying it. "It was me."

"Why?" I looked directly at him, trying to see something in his eyes.

He sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"Miss Miao, there are some things you'd better not know."

“Attorney Wu, you know who K is, right?” I stared intently at him and asked with certainty.

He was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "I know."

“Tell me, who is he?” I pressed.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can't say."

Just then, my phone suddenly rang.

It was the store manager calling, his voice urgent: "Ms. Miao, something bad has happened! People from the Industry and Commerce Bureau are here to inspect, and they said our store..."

My heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling welled up inside me.

Uncle Gong!

He must be behind this!

He's trying to stop me from continuing my investigation!

I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm.

"I understand, I'll be right there." After hanging up the phone, I looked at Attorney Wu and said, "Sorry, I have something to take care of."

“Ms. Miao, you should stop investigating,” Attorney Wu advised. “Some things are beyond your control.”

I ignored his advice and got up to leave the teahouse.

I know I can't give up. I must find out the truth, protect Gong Lin, and protect myself.

By the time I finished dealing with things at the shop, it was already evening.

I presented all the legal and compliant documents, leaving the inspectors speechless and even exposing the whistleblower's malicious behavior.

Needless to say, the whistleblower must be one of Uncle Gong's men.

When I arrived at the Gong family's residence, I found the atmosphere unusually heavy.

Old Master Gong sat in the hall, his face ashen, while Second Uncle Gong stood to the side, looking smug.

"Miao Qing," Old Master Gong said coldly when he saw me, "do you have anything else to say?"

I sneered inwardly. It seemed that Uncle Gong was already eager to make trouble for me.

I took a deep breath and said calmly, "Grandpa Gong, I have something to announce..." I looked around, my gaze sweeping over Grandpa Gong's ashen face, Uncle Gong's smug smile, and the suspicious looks from Butler Liu and Elder Li.

"I've found the real culprit who framed the Gong family!"

Uncle Gong Er laughed loudly as if he had heard a joke: "Miao Qing, stop playing tricks! Frame the Gong family? It's clearly you who's interfering and sowing discord!"

"Really?" I sneered, pulling a few scraps of paper from my bag. "Second Uncle, do you recognize the handwriting on these?"

Those were fragments of letters I found in Attorney Wu's trash can. Piecing them together, they formed evidence of Uncle Gong's collusion with a mysterious person. Although incomplete, they were enough to terrify Uncle Gong.

Uncle Gong's face turned deathly pale instantly. He rushed over, trying to snatch the fragment from my hand, but I nimbly dodged it.

"This is a forgery! Slander!" he roared, his voice trembling with fear.

"Slander?" I brandished the shards in my hand. "Second Uncle, why are you so nervous? Are you feeling guilty?"

I read the contents of the fragment aloud. The letter subtly mentioned cooperation, profit sharing, and how to suppress Gong Lin and support Gong Ershu to take the throne.

Although no names were explicitly named, the information conveyed between the lines was enough for those present to understand the meaning.

Old Master Gong's face was terribly gloomy. He stared intently at Second Uncle Gong and asked, word by word, "What...what's going on?"

Uncle Gong was speechless for a long time.

Old Li's expression also changed. He hadn't expected that Uncle Gong would actually collude with outsiders to secretly cause trouble.

Butler Liu was shocked. He had always thought that Uncle Gong was a loyal person, but he never expected that he would do such a thing.

I looked at Uncle Gong's flustered appearance and sneered inwardly.

This is just the beginning; the real show is just starting.

“I have more evidence,” I paused, my gaze sweeping over everyone, “Do you want to hear it?”

Just then, a warm, large hand grasped mine. I turned to look…

It's Miya Rin.

He stood beside me, holding my hand tightly, his eyes fixed firmly on Old Master Gong.

"Grandpa!" That simple sentence gave me immense strength.

I held his hand back, feeling the warmth of his palm, and a warm feeling welled up inside me.

Old Li coughed lightly, breaking the brief silence.

"You think you can prove Second Master's crimes with just a few scraps of paper? That's too simplistic! Who knows if you forged them to frame Second Master?" He looked at me slyly, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Before I could even speak, Butler Liu stepped forward, his tone hesitant: "Yes, Miss Miao, this evidence... seems insufficient." Although he was loyal to the Gong family, he was still somewhat pedantic at heart and easily misled by appearances.

Uncle Gong, as if grasping at a straw, hurriedly chimed in, "That's right! Miao Qing, you're slandering me! You're spouting nonsense!" He pointed at me and shouted hoarsely, as if I were some heinous criminal.

I looked at them and sneered inwardly.

These people really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.

I took a deep breath, about to speak, but was stopped by Gong Lin.

He gently patted my hand, signaling me to calm down.

"Everyone," Gong Lin's voice was steady and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority, "Don't rush to conclusions." He looked around, his gaze sharp as a hawk's, "Wait a moment."

As soon as Gong Lin finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and two policemen walked in, followed by...

Attorney Wu!

His face was pale and his eyes were darting around; he was clearly forced to come.

I was secretly delighted; it seemed that Gong Lin had been prepared all along.

"Mr. Gong, we have received a report that Mr. Gong Er is suspected of economic crimes. Please come with us." One of the policemen walked up to Mr. Gong Er and said in a businesslike manner.

Uncle Gong's face changed drastically. He pointed at me and shouted incoherently, "It was her! She framed me! It was her..."

The police ignored his shouting and put handcuffs on him directly.

Uncle Gong was still struggling, but was forcibly taken away by the police.

Both Mr. Li and Butler Liu were stunned, never expecting things to develop to this point.

As I watched Uncle Gong being taken away, I didn't feel the pleasure I had imagined; instead, I felt a sense of heaviness.

In the end, someone will have to pay the price for this family feud.

“Grandpa,” Gong Lin turned to look at Old Master Gong, “the truth has come out.”

Grandpa Gong sighed, looked at me with a complicated expression, and didn't say anything.

I know he must still have many questions in his mind.

"Qingqing," Gong Lin said, pulling my hand and leading me to Old Master Gong, "I know you've suffered a lot, but..."

I gave him a grateful look, then turned to Old Master Gong and said firmly, "Old Master Gong, I will definitely find out everything and give you an explanation."

Grandpa Gong looked at me, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, and finally nodded.

I took out the evidence I had found earlier, which I had discovered in some hidden corners of the Gong family's old house. There were account books, letters, and records of Gong Ershu's communication with the mysterious person.

This evidence is sufficient to prove Uncle Gong's crimes and makes Elder Li's previous defenses seem weak and powerless.

However, even with conclusive evidence, the true identity of the mysterious figure K has not yet been fully revealed.

Looking at the evidence in my hand, I felt a vague unease, as if things weren't as simple as they seemed.

Suddenly, I noticed the signature on one of the letters was an unfamiliar name – “Zhao”.

This name sounds familiar...

“Zhao…” Gong Lin murmured to himself, a scene suddenly flashing through his mind.

Yes!

He remembered!

Zhao was a former steward of the Gong family, but he was kicked out for theft!

Is it...

It's him?

I looked at Gong Lin and found that his expression had become serious.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Gong Lin didn't speak, but held my hand tightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

“Gong Lin…” A bad feeling rose in my heart, “Is there anything else you’re hiding from me?”

He looked at me with a complicated expression, and finally slowly said, "Qingqing, K... there might be more than one person."
