Her fingers suddenly touched something sticky, and she quickly turned her head to look.

In the dark room, through the night light filtering in from the window, one could vaguely see a blood-stained head rolling into her hand. Blood clung to the messy hair, and in the center were a pair of large, grotesque eyes that looked like a monster!

Dong Qingrun recognized the head at a glance; wasn't this Dong Bihua's father?

"Aaaaaah..." Dong Qingrun screamed like a pig being slaughtered. She jumped out of bed, trembling all over. "A ghost! Aaaaah... Don't come any closer!"

As he screamed, the head suddenly flew toward her face, and Dong Qingrun fell to his knees in a sorry state!

Unexpectedly, from behind, the woman's withered, bamboo-like hands, like a demon crawling out of hell, eerily embraced her waist, and the blood dripping from her long tongue also dripped onto Dong Qingrun's neck:

"Qingrun, hell is so much fun! Why don't you come down and play with us?"

The eerie voice, like a demonic sound from hell, eerily entered Dong Qingrun's ears. Dong Qingrun shuddered in fright and hurriedly reached out to turn on the light!

"No! Don't come any closer!"

Her hand had just reached for the light switch when she tripped over something. Terrified, she fell backward on her bottom, screaming in despair:

"I'm sorry, I was wrong! It's all my fault, but haven't I been burning incense and praying to Buddha for you every year? Why won't you let me go!"

Suddenly, she was kicked hard and fell to the ground!

Just as Dong Qingrun thought he was about to face even greater pain, there was a sudden crack!

The room lights were turned on, and the clear scene in the room immediately stunned Dong Qingrun. She quickly looked at the ghost from before and saw Gu Momo and Dong Bihua crawl out of the hood. Dong Bihua slapped her across the face!

"You shameless wretch! When you were little, you were destitute and almost froze to death on the street. It was my Dong family that saved you, which is why you've survived to this day! My Dong family treats you like our own daughter, and my parents love and pamper you even more. How could you be so shameless as to try to kill them!"

"You little bitch! I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"

"Ahhh..." Dong Qingrun's hair was pulled up by Dong Bihua, and Dong Bihua's slaps fell on Dong Qingrun's face like a rainstorm. Dong Qingrun felt like his soul was about to be blown away!

"Sister, listen to me! It's not like that...it's absolutely not like that! It's all Gu Momo's way of framing me!"

Gu Momo's eyes crinkled into a beautiful smile. She casually leaned back in her armchair, legs crossed, and looked at Dong Bihua with a beaming smile:

"How did I frame you? Didn't you say all those things yourself? Besides, those things you mentioned happened more than twenty years ago, before I was even born. How could I have instructed you to do that?"

"You!" Dong Qingrun was about to raise his head when Dong Bihua kicked him over!

Just then, Gu Momo clapped her hands lightly, and the door to the room was immediately kicked open. Bodyguards escorted in several middle-aged men and threw them in front of Dong Qingrun!

Dong Qingrun's pupils widened slightly when he saw the group.

Wait! Could these people be...?

Dong Bihua clearly recognized these people. They were her parents' confidants who had helped her when her parents passed away. Over the years, they had also done their best to support her. Otherwise, she would not have been able to make such a smooth comeback.

Especially Uncle Dong, who has been tirelessly working for her all these years...

A bad feeling crept into Dong Bihua's heart. She narrowed her eyes. "Uncle Dong, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm handling some business? Why don't you take your people and leave right now..."

Before she could finish speaking, Uncle Dong knelt on the ground in unbearable grief, tearfully embracing Dong Bihua's legs:

“Miss, I was wrong! Dong Qingrun found out about my affair back then. I was afraid of being exposed, so I followed Dong Qingrun's instigation and did things for her, forcing your mother to commit suicide and then letting her burn down the whole villa! I am guilty! I am really guilty!”

That's why he's stayed with the Dong family for so many years, working tirelessly to atone for his sins back then!

Dong Bihua froze on the spot, then suddenly stumbled, what…

This was Uncle Dong, whom she trusted most. How could Uncle Dong possibly collude with Dong Qingrun?!

Immediately, the elderly maid, heartbroken, kowtowed repeatedly to the ground, pleading, "I'm so sorry, Miss! My daughter's life was in her hands back then. If I hadn't colluded with the competitors to frame Master for commercial smuggling, my daughter would have been dead. Miss, I'm so sorry..."

Immediately afterwards, a woman of similar age to Dong Bihua knelt on the ground, saying, "I'm sorry, Miss. I saw with my own eyes that Dong Qingrun drugged you and bribed a homeless man to ruin your reputation, but I was really too scared back then, so I..."

Each sentence was like a bombshell, raining down on Dong Bihua's head, leaving her feeling as if she had been struck by lightning!

The people she once trusted most suddenly became the ones who betrayed her, and even caused the deaths of her parents!

And she was so blind that she didn't see her sister's venomous face for more than 20 years!

Dong Qingrun was driven to the brink of madness. She gripped Dong Bihua's hand tightly, "Sister, please don't listen to Gu Momo's nonsense... Ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Dong Bihua slapped her aside.

Dong Bihua exuded a chilling aura as she coldly approached Gu Momo, her eyes gleaming. "Gu Momo! What ruthless methods did you use to force my subordinates to say these things!"

These people are all her confidants. For them to say such things, they must either be coerced by Gu Momo, or...

Gu Momo's eyes curled into a contemptuous sneer, a smile as if she were looking at a dead man. "You don't naively think I forced them, do you? Finding out who caused your family's ruin back then is easy enough."

A charming smile played on her lips, but her gaze grew increasingly cold. "The Dong family's affairs back then were so suspicious. Whoever profited from it, we'll naturally start the investigation from there! And among the people around you, Uncle Dong has since acquired several villas in the suburbs of the capital, the maid went from being penniless to becoming a local tycoon, and your Dong Qingrun even married Gu Zhenting and became a wealthy socialite, bringing with her hundreds of millions in dowry! Tell me, if I don't investigate them... who else can I investigate?!"

Boom... Dong Bihua almost lost her footing.

It turns out there were signs all along, but she was so caught up in her gratitude towards them that she never considered them as the culprits...

With everything settled, Gu Momo didn't mince words and went straight to the point:

"You lost our bet! According to the rules, tell me Lan Yiren's whereabouts immediately!"
