"Heh." Li Ling sneered at the question and continued, "That woman's name is Lu Xu. She's a former artist at YK Entertainment."

"After the company merged, many people were killed by Fang Cheng, so we naturally started to stick together. Lu Xu also became one of us, and we all got along pretty well."

Wen Wan's expression was a little subtle at the moment, and her eyebrows subconsciously raised slightly. She was secretly wondering in her heart, could it be that Lu Xu was holding the basic weapon of a vicious villain?

Li Ling's brows furrowed tightly, a faint trace of pain on her face as she spoke to herself. "Everyone was in agony at the time, but there was no solution. There was no hope at all. So, as I mentioned before, people collapsed and committed suicide by jumping off a building."

"Everyone was in a bad mood at the time, and a few people even started to imitate us. We had three such incidents in a month. When the news first broke, it even became a trending topic."

"When this kind of thing happened again, YK Entertainment simply spent money to suppress it and fabricated many lies to cover up their sudden disappearance. Many artists in the company disappeared because of this."

"Even their fans didn't know about their deaths. They just felt like the company had blacklisted them. They suffered such devastating pain, and no one except their families knew about their passing. It's really sad to think about it."

Wen Wan had been holding back her anger just now, and felt like she was about to explode, but after listening slowly, she felt a little numb.

Because... there is no most disgusting, only more disgusting!

Li Ling: "After those people got into trouble, Brother Tianrui continued to counsel us. To be honest, if it weren't for him, we really would have given up a long time ago. But what I never expected was..."

"Brother Tianrui is so desperate. He was our backbone. We kept going because of him. After losing him, we can no longer hold on. We live in fear every day."

"So... I also chose to end my own life and end this painful life."

Wen Wan looked at her seriously and said solemnly, "You may have felt at the time that Senior Qiao had abandoned you, but in fact... he never gave up and was always looking for a solution to the problem."

"We still don't know how he obtained those photos, so please don't blame him. We discovered it too late, but justice will eventually triumph over evil. Please wait a little longer."

"No, we never blamed him." Tears welled up in Li Ling's eyes again, and she shook her head vigorously as she explained, "This matter had nothing to do with him in the first place. If it weren't for us, he wouldn't have had to worry about it."

"We were the ones who got him involved in this, so how can we blame him? Now that I know he never gave up, I feel even worse. Tianrui is truly a wonderful person..."

After she said this, she sighed deeply again. Maybe this was God's will.

Wen Wan gently patted her back and comforted her, "You don't have to think like that. Don't take all the blame on yourself. You're not wrong, and neither is Senior Qiao. The ones who are wrong are Fang Cheng and YK Entertainment."

"Victims are always victims. Never think that there's something wrong with you that's why you're being targeted. Don't believe in the myth that 'flies don't bite seamless eggs.' Crime is always a crime."

"Senior Qiao's willingness to risk his life for his friends is certainly commendable, but even if you weren't involved in this incident, he might have been targeted for other matters and been caught up in this incident publicly."

"If it weren't for your protection, he might have been infected long ago. So you are all very good people. Don't belittle yourselves. Blame Fang Cheng if you want to blame anyone."

These comforting words immediately soothed Li Ling's heart. She lowered her head and shed tears silently.

Li Ling pretended to be strong, wiping away her tears. She choked up as she continued, "I thought death was the end, but I never expected to actually become a ghost after death."

"After I became a ghost, I occasionally ran into a few of my old friends, but I didn't meet Brother Tianrui. Most of the victims from that time are no longer alive, but I discovered that Lu Xu is still alive."

"She didn't choose death as we did to escape the predicament. Instead, she chose to compromise with Fang Cheng. She made a deal with Fang Cheng in exchange for resources, and slowly used those resources to become famous."

Li Ling paused at this point, but Wen Wan then continued, "So... you think she's a traitor?"

"Yes." Li Ling nodded vigorously, confirming her guess, and said through gritted teeth, "I think she's not only a traitor, but she must have tipped off Brother Tianrui when he went to steal the photos."

"You said that after your death, you met many dead friends. Why are you the only one left now?" Zhou Ziheng, who had been silent all this time, asked at this time.

Li Ling lowered her head in disappointment, sighed softly, and replied, "They all hated Fang Cheng to the core, so none of them wanted to reincarnate. Naturally, I followed them and stayed."

"Everyone watched Fang Cheng stir up trouble every day, living a life as blissful as a god, and their hatred grew stronger. Eventually, everyone decided... to kill Fang Cheng, no matter the cost."

"They were afraid of being caught by the ghost messenger who appeared by chance, so they sent me to keep watch at the door. But later, a strange force appeared in Fang Cheng's office, and none of them returned."

"I wanted to go back and save them, but the power was too terrifying. If I didn't save them and I got myself into trouble, it would be too worthless. After all, there is always hope, so I just ran away."

Wen Wan couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Strange power?

Could it be the power she felt from Lu Xu? However, that power did seem familiar. Could it be related to nightmares and black fog?

When she thought of these two lingering bastards, she couldn't help but feel a headache. They really were everywhere!

"Later, I always wanted to rescue them, but Fang Cheng always had that power that made me afraid to get close to him. So... recently I set my sights on Lu Xu."

"I thought if I couldn't kill Fang Cheng, I would kill this traitor, and then you showed up to stop me and beat me up."

She said that the more she spoke, the more resentful she became. Wen Wan felt a little embarrassed, but she had no idea it would be like this. So…ignorance is not a crime. This matter has nothing to do with her!

But...could that unknown force be resentment?

If that's the case, then it's a bit tricky...?
