More than a dozen police cars surrounded the Zhou residence, sealing off this luxurious burial ground.

All the servants were strictly controlled.

Zhou Lin and the housekeeper were imprisoned on charges of intentional homicide, under strict guard, awaiting final judgment.

I handed over all the evidence I had collected over the past five years.

There were testimonies from the incident of my sister's death in the KTV, videos of Zhou Ninger's death in the sanatorium, and evidence of other girls whose lives were ruined by Zhou Lin.

On social media, my actions at the engagement banquet sparked a huge discussion.

The protective umbrella that Zhou Lin had relied on for many years was also implicated and subjected to the same sanctions.

The "Zhou Lin Murder Case" had such a wide scope of involvement that it directly shook the entire business world and caused a great impact on the noble families.

I calmly accepted interviews, submitted evidence, and underwent investigations.

Meanwhile, Shen Li found me.

He, relying on my influence, brought down the Zhou family and was highly regarded by Shen Ximing, rising to prominence and almost stealing the limelight from his older brothers.

His handsome face was filled with desire for me.

"Su Ranran, now you have the image of enduring revenge, seeking retribution for your loved ones. It's a perfect plot for a movie.

"Why don't you come with me and be my muse? I'll invest money in making movies for you, how about that?"

I looked at him, revealing a smile with an indeterminate meaning.

"Young Master Shen,

"You may not know, but I met you a long time ago."

He raised an eyebrow in doubt and responded to my words.

"Yeah, we collaborated before."

I continued to speak absentmindedly, looking down at my newly done nails, lightly curling up the corners of my mouth.

"Let me think, where was it?

"Oh, right, it was in the most luxurious and extravagant KTV in the city center."

"At that time, you were just a small prep cook.

"But with that face of yours, you were extremely popular with women and knew all the female servers at the shop."

In an instant, Shen Li's face turned pale.

"I, I didn't..."

I impatiently interrupted him, my eyes filled with cold mockery and disdain.

"I won't say anything else, Young Master Shen.

"I just want to tell you that a person who witnessed a murder scene and didn't save the victim, especially someone capable of saving them, is undoubtedly an accomplice in my eyes."

Shen Li's face turned red, and the veins on his neck bulged.

"What do you know! That was Zhou Ninger, and she had the Zhou family backing her! No one could...

As he spoke, his voice gradually weakened.

Because I was smiling at him with satisfaction.

"Yes, you could have avoided it when they all rushed in.

"She was just a colleague you played well with, not worth confronting the Zhou family for her."

"But what about after that? You witnessed the whole process but didn't help her when she was most weak and helpless, guiding her towards survival, even with just a glass of water, a phone call, or a simple supporting hand, she could have survived."

"She didn't die directly from drugs and alcohol.

"She died from choking on vomit."

"But at that time, you were scared, you all were scared."

"You left her alone in a filthy and smelly room, in desperate and helpless waiting, until she went into shock and fell unconscious."

I raised my head angrily, looking at the distant gray sky swirling with fierce winds, and continued speaking to myself.

"I understand, your crimes do not warrant death.

"When faced with a murder case, it's natural for people to feel fear.

"But countless girls who died at Zhou Lin's hands, they also encountered people like 'you,' enduring the pain of life slowly slipping away under 'your' watchful gaze."

"I won't plot against you like I did with Zhou Lin.

"But I hope, in the future, you won't stand by and watch any more slow decay."
