"Over the past six months, these measures have yielded positive results."

"To date, the charity foundation that helps trafficked children return home has helped 17 children return home and reunite with their families, and has received about nine letters of thanks."

"In addition, my movie is about to start filming and is expected to be released next year."

"Finally, with the help of numerous leads I provided, the Ministry of Public Security's anti-trafficking task force, after six months of continuous tracking, finally eradicated a human trafficking network that had been entrenched in North China for over twenty years, arresting everyone involved in the entire criminal chain, from initial investigations and trafficking to transit hotels, intermediaries, and buyers—a total of 43 people."

"Of these 43 people, seven are the culprits who, along with your adoptive parents, took you away from your parents and kept you behind. They are all in the police station now, awaiting trial."

"I've taken care of your revenge for you, Miss An. You're welcome."

Almost unable to believe her ears, An Shujia stared at Yu Ningning in disbelief and asked in a daze, "You just said that you donated a sum of money to the Ministry of Public Security and provided a lot of relevant clues, and now the remaining members of the human traffickers who abducted me back then have all been arrested and are now awaiting trial?"

Yu Ningning nodded calmly: "Yes."

Unable to believe Yu Ningning's words, An Shujia stood up abruptly, instinctively about to retort, "You're lying to me! Don't think I don't know, you're definitely lying to me! You just want to win an argument with me."

"Revenge? How could revenge be so simple?"

"Those human traffickers, since they were able to take me away from my parents back then, must have been extremely vicious, highly trained, and very difficult to deal with. Otherwise, how could I have been bullied by my adoptive parents for so many years, living such a miserable life that I was almost torn apart..."

"Revenge can't be that simple!"

"Yu Ningning, you must be lying to me!"

"You're a complete liar who'll stop at nothing to deceive people."

Knowing that An Shujia was just venting her emotions, Yu Ningning ignored her shouting and calmly stirred the lemon slices in the honey water, waiting for her to calm down.

About five minutes later, An Shujia finally seemed exhausted, a look of almost sorrowful helplessness appearing on her face. She sat down as if completely drained and opened her mouth to ask, "Which prison are they in now?"

Yu Ningning calmly replied, "In Chuhezi Prison in Bei Province."

“I’ll find time to go see them.” An Shujia seemed to still be sleepwalking, each word floating weakly as she murmured to herself, “...I’ll find time to go see them. After all, I’ve hated them for so many years, and it would be too ridiculous to not even know what they look like before they are executed.”

"As for my parents..." She raised her head and looked at Yu Ningning.

Yu Ningning picked up the glass, took a sip of honey water, and said calmly, "I've already dug up their ashes for you and dumped them in the stinking ditch. You're welcome."

Seemingly surprised, An Shujia paused for a moment before muttering, "...Oh right, that's not impossible, but..."

But why was I always too afraid to do it back then?
