The fifth day since the full-scale arrest of Shen Shuyuan.

Lu Zhiwei had just finished visiting Jiang Zhan at the hospital when she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

She answered the call immediately.

The hoarse, tired voice of Shen Shuyuan came from the other end of the phone; she must have had a hard time hiding these past few days.

Having nowhere else to turn, he chose to seek help from Lu Zhiwei.

"Let's meet. I can tell you anything you want to know."

"You don't need to tell me about your misdeeds anymore. If you want to turn yourself in, go to the police station as soon as possible." Lu Zhiwei knew that Shen Shuyuan was a deep thinker, and this call to her was definitely not as simple as she imagined.

"Don't you want to know how your grandmother died? What did she say before she died?" Shen Shuyuan's tone was very calm, as if she was not afraid at all that she would monitor her whereabouts and then lead the police to arrest her.

"Send me the address." Lu Zhiwei hung up the phone.

Subsequently, Lu Zhiwei received a location-based text message.

The location shown is a dilapidated, abandoned warehouse in the suburbs of Yunzhou.

Before setting off, Lu Zhiwei immediately contacted Liu Changqing to dispatch special police to the suburbs to arrest the person.

The police surrounded the entire warehouse so tightly that not even a fly could step out.

Lu Zhiwei got out of the car, wearing a loose black dress.

Not long after, a black Maybach arrived. Shen Jinmo, dressed in an expensive handmade suit, had a gloomy expression and must have rushed over from the Shen Group.

Lu Zhiwei was about to enter the warehouse alone.

Shen Jinmo quickly caught up with her, grabbing her wrist with one hand: "Who knows what kind of trouble she's up to this time? Are you out of your mind?"

Lu Zhiwei glared coldly at Shen Jingmo: "I value my life, but I want to know the truth from her. You're the one who should go, not me?"

Even if Shen Shuyuan is arrested, she may not necessarily confess in prison.

This was her only chance to learn the truth from her.

"Okay, I'll go. I'll stay on the phone with you, and remember to record the whole thing." Shen Jinmo released Lu Zhiwei's hand, then took out his phone and dialed Lu Zhiwei's number.

Lu Zhiwei answered the call at that time.

Shen Jinmo turned on speakerphone and then put his phone back in his suit pocket.

This way, Lu Zhiwei would hear everything he made inside immediately.

Even if others didn't make it out of the warehouse alive.

At least she found out everything she wanted to know over the phone.

Shen Jinmo stepped into the abandoned warehouse alone.

His tall, imposing figure stood aloof and resolute, while Lu Zhiwei's delicate brows furrowed tightly.

Inside the dark, dilapidated warehouse, a pungent smell of gasoline wafted through the air.

Shen Jinmo frowned and looked around.

The ground was wet, as if it had been splashed with gasoline.

Sitting in the chair, Shen Shuyuan was playing with a delicate lighter in her hand. Hearing footsteps, she slowly turned around.

Upon seeing that the person who came was Shen Jinmo, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"What, is Lu Zhiwei afraid to come because she's afraid of dying?" Shen Shuyuan looked calmly at the man she loved deeply in front of her.

Shen Jinmo stopped not far from her. "I came here of my own accord."

Shen Shuyuan chuckled.

He knew perfectly well that he hadn't come to persuade her to turn back from the wrong path, but rather because he feared she might take Lu Zhiwei's life, and he was willing to take that danger himself.

"Brother, this is the last time I'll call you that." Shen Shuyuan's eyes were filled with tears as she walked step by step toward Shen Jinmo.

Shen Jinmo subconsciously took a few steps back, avoiding her approach, his sharp and cold gaze fixed on her.

On a hot summer day, she wore a black coat that was bulky and bulging, as if she were hiding something.

Shen Jinmo's movement of avoiding her left Shen Shuyuan frozen in place, her eyes filled with sorrow. "Knowing that I did something wrong, you, as my brother, didn't even want to help me up. If you had been even a little bit kinder to me or to Lu Zhiwei, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Stop making excuses for your mistakes. Pulling someone like you would only dirty my hands. Confess all the shameful things you've done over the years, and you'll be treated leniently. There are special police everywhere outside; you can't escape today."

Shen Jinmo gave her a stern warning.

Shen Shuyuan is intelligent and can see the current situation clearly.

"Escape? Heh, I'm meeting Lu Zhiwei today, I never intended to escape. It's worth it for me to have my brother talk to me alone for so long."

Shen Shuyuan sat back down in her chair and slowly unzipped her coat.

The zipper is opened.

She was strapped with a row of new time bombs.

The red timer is counting down.

There are less than ten minutes left.

The bomb on her body will detonate immediately.

The usually composed Shen Jinmo now looked tense and stunned.

To prevent Lu Zhiwei from rushing in uncontrollably outside.

Shen Jinmo didn't mention the bomb, holding his breath to remain calm and composed.

He doubted the authenticity of the bomb, wondering where she got the channels and money to acquire such an expensive new type of bomb.

Her assets were frozen, leaving her penniless and making her a pariah.

If he wanted to survive, he could have simply run out within those ten minutes. Whether the bomb was real or fake, it wouldn't have posed a threat to him.

But he had to stay and listen to Shen Shuyuan tell the truth that Lu Zhiwei had always wanted to know.

"Shuyuan, in my eyes, you have always been outstanding." Shen Jinmo tried to soothe her emotions and get her to continue the conversation as soon as possible.

“Brother, if you had praised me earlier, I wouldn’t have ended up like this. Lu Zhiwei has always wanted to know how her grandmother died, right? Well, I’ll tell you now.” Shen Shuyuan finally got to the point.

Shen Jinmo secretly glanced at the phone in his pocket.

Make sure the call is still going smoothly.

Outside the warehouse, Lu Zhiwei held her phone, listening quietly.

Liu Changqing had deployed all the police officers and quietly walked up to her.

Lu Zhiwei gestured for silence with her finger, pointing to her phone to signal him to be quiet.

Shen Shuyuan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I did kill her grandmother. That day, I took sunflowers to the hospital and made up an excuse that my grandmother asked me to go. I found out that the old lady had a history of asthma and allergies, so I sprayed some other perfumes that could cause her allergies on the sunflowers. After delivering the flowers, I left the hospital, which cleared me of suspicion of murder.”

"And then?" Shen Jinmo asked, holding his breath.

"During the storm and power outage that night, I had already disguised myself as Xia Wanying and hid in the old lady's ward closet. Just then, Xia Wanying came in wearing a mascot costume to play with the old lady. In the midst of the play, she had an asthma attack, which terrified Xia Wanying. In the panic, she ran out of the ward, and at that moment, I, who was hiding in the ward, killed the old lady with a utility knife that I had designed myself."

As soon as the power came back on, someone I had arranged in the building across the street filmed the scene, completely confirming that Xia Wanying had been framed for murder.

"I underestimated Lu Zhiwei's abilities. I didn't expect her to be skilled in facial drawing, profiling, and crime-solving. My plan was so perfect, yet I still couldn't get Xia Wanying to take the blame." Shen Shuyuan smiled softly.
