I was too weak, too naive.
I always thought that as long as I worked hard,
as long as I became strong, the things that belonged to me
would come back.
But now I realize it’s not like that.
If I don’t take action, those things that belong to me will never return.
I want to seek justice for my mother and for myself,
even if it costs everything.
The surveillance footage starts, and I fast forward to the day Cui Yongjuan returns.
I see Ma Zhiqiang in a blind spot of the camera,
pushing Cui Yongjuan against the wall.
“Yongjuan, you’re finally back.”
Cui Yongjuan pushes him away: “I’m back, but not for you.”
“I begged her to withdraw from the competition.”
“Yongjuan, I like you.”
Cui Yongjuan pushes him away again: “Don’t do this; my sister will see.”
Ma Zhiqiang chuckles: “So what if she sees?”
“What right does she have to control me?”
“Besides, she’s about to withdraw from the competition.”
“She won’t participate in the finals.”
Cui Yongjuan asks him: “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
“And even if she does participate, she can’t win against you.”
“You are the Gold Medal.”
Cui Yongjuan smiles: “Of course I am the Gold Medal.”
“I came back this time to win the Gold Medal.”
“And to become her disciple.”
“To learn her skills, her secrets, everything from you.”
Ma Zhiqiang smiled, "Yongjuan, you are really great."
"For me, you even turned against your own sister."
Cui Yongjuan huffed, "Who told her to always target me?"
"My mom was killed by her. I'm back to take revenge for my mom!"
"Alright." Ma Zhiqiang kissed Cui Yongjuan, "Yongjuan, I'll help you."
Cui Yongjuan smiled and hugged him:
"Zhiqiang, I knew you were the best to me."
Later, in order to please Cui Yongjuan, Ma Zhiqiang even broke my fingers.
I watched everything on the surveillance footage, pain surged again.
I trembled with hatred.
My phone rang; it was a call from Ma Zhiqiang.
I answered the call, and his voice was as gentle as ever.
"Yongmei, have you returned home?"
"Are you comfortable in the hospital?"
"The doctor said how is your hand?"
I whispered, "It's okay."
"That's good."
Ma Zhiqiang continued, "Yongmei, tomorrow night is Yongjuan's celebration banquet."
"As long as you attend, we will get married."
I smiled lightly, "Are you serious?"
"Of course."
I knew he was lying; he just wanted to coax me into attending the banquet.
But I had my own plans.
I had to go.
In the surveillance footage, Ma Zhiqiang was still flirting with Cui Yongjuan.
"Zhiqiang, are you sure she will come?"
"I am sure."
"She loves me so much and relies on me; she will definitely come."
"When the time comes, I want her to admit in front of everyone that she is not as good as me."
"I want her to never be able to hold her head up again."
Cui Yongjuan smiled, "Okay."
"Zhiqiang, you are really great."
"Don't worry, I will definitely control her."
Cui Yongjuan smiled and hugged Ma Zhiqiang, "Zhiqiang, I love you."
Ma Zhiqiang kissed her, "I love you too."
I turned off the computer and copied the surveillance footage, sending it to the Private Detective.
Soon, the Private Detective sent over information about Cui Yongjuan's activities abroad over the past three years.
It turned out that Cui Yongjuan did not go abroad for further studies but to seek refuge.
She had gotten into trouble back home and was afraid of being held accountable, so she ran away with her mother to another country.
Later, she was admitted to a music academy abroad.
However, after only a few days of classes, she was expelled from the academy.
The reason was that she had an inappropriate relationship with a married professor, which was discovered by the professor's wife.
