When I woke up again, I was lying on a hospital bed, and the handcuffs on my hands had been removed.

Two police officers were standing in front of my bed.

From their words, I learned that Zhou Yan had been arrested.

The person who called the police was Zhou Yan himself.

Zhou Yan confessed everything to the police and also handed over the video from my home smart door lock to them.

The two police officers said to me, "Liu Rongrong, you have been rescued, live well from now on."

Only I knew that in the days to come, I would live in deep self-blame and guilt.

1. Liu Rongrong

I hate Song Rui, deeply and thoroughly.

After my father's passing, I developed a serious mental illness.

My best friend Cheng Wen often came to see me.

She is a psychologist and was also my attending doctor.

During that time, Cheng Wen sometimes stayed at my place.

On my laptop, there was her logged-in WeChat account, a secondary account, with only one friend, who was my then-husband Song Rui.

Cheng Wen had labeled him as "Future Husband."

In their chat records, the two of them called me a fool together, conspired on how to make me leave with nothing, and talked about how enjoyable it was for him to abuse me......

Later, my condition worsened, and I selectively forgot those things that hurt me.

I forgot that Cheng Wen was the main culprit in breaking up my family; I only remembered that she was my best friend, my only best friend; she told me she was my attending doctor, the person who could help me recover my health.

Later, I got divorced because Cheng Wen said it would be more beneficial for my recovery.

2. Zhou Yan

I learned from forum exchanges that Liu Rongrong, that little girl who was quite interested in coding, got married.

But she didn't know that I had deep feelings for her for a long time.

Out of spite, I followed my parents' advice for a blind date and quickly got married too.

My wife, Su Li, didn't have a good reputation.

But I didn't really care; among the blind date candidates, only she was willing to move from a first-tier city to a third-tier city with me.

Moreover, she only wanted money.

In the third-tier city, I quickly found Liu Rongrong's husband's company through the internet.

But this company was completely unrelated to my field of expertise.

It's alright though; I just did some menial work at her husband's company.

Working at her husband's company, doing menial jobs, I earned only a few thousand a month.

Su Li often argued with me over money.

At the company, I often saw a woman paired up with her husband Song Rui, and I knew that was Cheng Wen, the best friend Rongrong had mentioned to me.

I took a few coding gigs, earned enough to buy a house, and bought the one next to Liu Rongrong's.

I ran into her many times in the elevator; she seemed to not know that I was the master who taught her coding.

She always avoided me, ha.

From the window in my home, I often heard her husband Song Rui beating and cursing her.

I listened to her crying and begging him.

One afternoon during a break, I overheard Cheng Wen and Song Rui arguing at the company; Cheng Wen was questioning why Liu Rongrong was pregnant.

That night at home, I heard screams from next door, and my fist clenched and unclenched.

Eventually, I anonymously called the emergency center from my computer.

Later, it seemed her parents came, and seeing the floor covered in blood, her mother fainted, and her father accompanied them to the hospital.

Later, I heard from people at the company that she had a miscarriage, and it was Song Rui's doing.

Soon, I also heard that her father passed away.

I sent her a few messages using exclusive codes, but they vanished without a trace.

I ran into Cheng Wen in the elevator; I knew she was sick, with severe mental illness.

Not long after, she got divorced.

Living alone.

Oh, no, in her own world, she was living with her child.

Suddenly one day, I received an anonymous code message on my phone.

I knew it was her.

I had to do something for her.
