"I came here to perform an autopsy after receiving a call. Your Aunt Mei is here too. I was just stopping by to see you at the police station. How did that become questioning you? Can we have a good talk?"

Shen Wanshan slowed down his tone, trying to resolve the conflict between the father and daughter in a friendly tone.

Shen Liwu took a deep breath, “I didn’t hurt her, what you think has nothing to do with me, believe it or not.”

Shen Liwu's voice was cold and distant, as if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Her fingers trembled slightly, and the temperature of her fingertips seemed to be drained away in an instant, leaving only endless coldness.

Shen Wanshan’s expression changed, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

He stood up and walked in front of Shen Liwu, his palm suspended in the air, as if he wanted to touch her shoulder, but hesitated to withdraw it.

"Li Wu, you are my daughter, how could I doubt you? I just... just want to find out the truth of the matter."

Shen Liwu raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes reflecting a sense of indifference.

"The truth? What do you think the 'truth' is? Is it the cause of Shen Jiajia's death, or whether I was involved? Mr. Shen, since you have already chosen to believe others, why bother asking me again?"

Shen Wanshan’s brows were tightly furrowed, and the wrinkles on his face looked particularly deep at that moment.

"Li Wu, how can you say that? Dad has never given up on you! I just... I just don't want you to get hurt again."

"Hurt?" Shen Liwu raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, "Isn't the biggest hurt that you have never really stood on my side? From childhood to adulthood, you always sided with her. No matter what happened, you thought she was innocent, and I...

I have always treated her like my own sister, and what did I get in the end? She deliberately approached Zhou Yanjing and kidnapped me. I listened to you and didn’t want you to be embarrassed. I pretended to be happy even when I was unhappy..."

Her voice was choked, and her throat felt like it was blocked by a heavy stone, almost suffocating her.

Shen Wanshan’s expression became complicated, with guilt and helplessness in his eyes.

"Li Wu, Dad knows you've suffered a lot, but... Jia Jia is your sister after all, there shouldn't be such a big gap between you two."

Shen Liwu turned her head abruptly, the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled and slid down her cheeks.

"Sister? She never treated me as a sister! She only wanted to destroy me!" Her voice was hoarse, filled with years of pent-up anger and pain.

Shen Wanshan was stunned, he had never seen Shen Liwu so out of control. For a moment, the office was so quiet that only her suppressed sobs could be heard.

Dean Liu sighed, walked up and patted Shen Liwu on the shoulder, "Doctor Shen, calm down. Your father also cares about you, so let's talk nicely."

Shen Liwu raised her hand to wipe away her tears, trying to calm down, “Dean, I’m sorry, I’ll go out for a while.”

She turned and walked out of the office quickly, and Bai Jingnan immediately followed with a frown.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Shen Liwu shook his head, and kept walking, “It’s okay, I want to walk alone.”

Bai Jingnan hesitated for a moment, but still kept his distance and followed her from a distance.

She walked all the way to the rooftop of the hospital, where a cold breeze blew away her thoughts. She stood in front of the railing, looking at the scenery in the distance, but her mind was blank.

"Why do you do this to me..." She murmured to herself, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

She had done nothing wrong, yet all the blame was directed at her. No one believed her, not even her father.

Shen Liwu's fingers clasped the cold railing tightly, the wind ruffled her long hair, which stuck to her cheeks in a messy manner, covering her pale face and red eyes.

Her eyes were staring into the distance empty, but without focus, as if the whole world was collapsing before her eyes, turning into nothingness.
