I took the memory cards from the surveillance cameras hidden in every corner of the villa. I retrieved the Accidental Insurance Policy she had bought for me six months ago from the drawer. Before leaving, I changed the lock at the entrance and recorded my face and fingerprints.
I dragged that wretched woman to the car before I left. I dropped her off at Song Xiang's old and shabby rental apartment. Satisfied with my actions, I organized all the evidence into a folder. I made five copies of the folder, distributing them to different people, while keeping the last one stored in a safe.
Everything was ready; I just needed to wait for that critical moment. Behind Ye Yichen's back, I made a copy of my hospitalization records. To avoid running into her, I took the stairs.
" Brother Lin, are you so afraid of me because you like me?"
At the stairwell, her half-joking remark sent a jolt through me. Seeing my embarrassment, she laughed uncontrollably.
"Alright, Brother Lin, come with me."
With a thousand questions swirling in my mind, I could only grit my teeth and follow her, knowing I owed her this much. She led me into the Intensive Care Unit, and at the moment she opened the door, I saw my parents.
My heart surged with emotion, nearly bringing me to tears. So much had happened, yet I hadn’t told my parents a word about it, all to spare them from worrying and to let them focus on their health. At the same time, I was deeply concerned about what Li Tong and Song Xiang—two people without boundaries—might do to my parents.
Seeing them safe and sound filled me with immense gratitude towards Ye Yichen. The iceberg within me began to melt little by little. My mother was lying in bed eating when she saw me; her eyes lit up with surprise.
Upon noticing Ye Yichen beside me, she couldn't stop praising her. "Thanks to Xiao Ye these past few days! I've heard you two are alumni; you really should thank her properly!"
My father picked up a spoon and fed my mother some porridge, letting out a sigh:
"That day I went to your house, hoping to get a few changes of clothes from your mom, but I ran into Li Tong. She yelled at me and wouldn’t let me in, even threw my luggage outside the door. I thought you two had another fight. I couldn’t take too much luggage, and I didn’t want you to worry, so I came back."
"Why didn’t you call me?"
Father glanced at Ye Yichen, hesitating whether to speak.
"It’s fine; she’s not a stranger."
"I thought you and Li Tong were just having an argument. I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect her to bring a man home!"
Father coughed in anger.
"Son, marriage is like a pair of shoes; only you know if they fit."
Mother spoke earnestly.
"A marriage without feelings is a punishment. Mom supports your decision to divorce."
"Go pursue your own happiness."
She cast a meaningful glance at Ye Yichen.
Ye Yichen shyly lowered his head.
Thank you, Yichen.
I looked at her and said seriously.
When my university senior sent over the information about Li Tong and Song Xiang, I was on my way to the police station.
I was incredibly excited; finally, I could strike back at them!
Holding a stack of documents, my hands trembled with excitement.
Three years ago, Li Tong had taken sleeping pills and committed suicide because of a man.
That man was Song Xiang.
Just as I had heard back then in the villa.
Li Tong dated different men, but her purpose was singular.
She used their money, most of which went to support Song Xiang.
They met when they were fifteen due to family restructuring.
Li Tong fell in love with the cool-looking Song Xiang.
At that time, Song Xiang had his own gang in the area. During a gang fight, he killed one of the opposing gang's brothers.
Just when Li Tong got into college, he followed her to the city where her university was located.
For so many years, he had clung to Li Tong like a parasite. He drained her of everything, not just her blood, but also that of the other men around her, including me.
Li Tong was completely under his control, trading her body for money from different men. Perhaps it was because of her first love; Li Tong was hopelessly infatuated with Song Xiang. However, Song Xiang did not feel the same way.
At the slightest misstep or moment of displeasure, Li Tong would suffer a brutal beating from him. After she cried, he would kneel and beg for her forgiveness. This cycle repeated endlessly, trapping Li Tong in a web she couldn't escape.
Aside from his cool exterior, he was worthless, yet he was a master at manipulation. Once I learned about Song Xiang's true nature, everything became easier to handle. I couldn't wait to see them begging for mercy on their knees.
I picked up my phone and dialed Li Tong's number, telling her that I was going to report everything about her and that scoundrel to the authorities.
"Lin Weixuan, have you lost your mind?"
Hearing Li Tong's panicked voice filled me with joy.
"I have lost my mind! Don't you want my life? Come on then; let's see who can outdo whom. Tell your lover to brace himself for his dirty deeds to be exposed! Don't worry; I won't let you get a single penny!"
"Lin Weixuan, you’re insane!"
"I beg you, for my sake, spare him!"
She was actually pleading for that man.
"Sorry, but you've lost all face with me."
I hung up the phone, confident that they were doomed in this game. But I had underestimated them!
