Meng Zihan panicked completely.
She crawled two steps on her knees, approaching Gu Yifei with an attitude so humble it was almost insignificant.
"Brother Yifei..."
"Please..."
"This time... I really..."
"...I was bewitched, please forgive me, okay?"
She raised her face, her eyes full of pleading.
"Just this once..."
She pinned all her last hopes on this sentence.
Gu Yifei suddenly took a step back, widening the distance between them.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes, which had once gazed at her tenderly, were now like a frozen lake, chilling and devoid of any trace of the past.
He spoke, his voice even colder than his eyes.
"Bewitched?"
Do you know what you've done?
"Where have you placed me, and our Gu family, in?"
Meng Zihan felt a tightness in her chest when he asked her question, and reached out her hands, wanting to hug his legs.
Gu Yifei reacted even faster than her. Almost the instant she lunged at him, he had already nimbly leaped back a large step.
His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, his face filled with disgust that he wanted to avoid at all costs.
Meng Zihan personally tore away his gentle and kind facade, revealing his most unbearable inner self.
He could now see clearly and plainly that she would no longer deceive him with her sinister thoughts and treacherous schemes hidden in the shadows.
Meng Zihan's hands froze in mid-air, grasping at nothing.
But she was still unwilling to give up and continued her futile efforts.
"Brother Yifei, you have to believe me, I... I just..."
"You're just trying to hurt me!"
Gu Yifei interrupted her without any hesitation.
"You lied to me, schemed against me, framed me..."
His voice grew colder and colder, and all the emotions he once had, even the slightest thought, vanished without a trace.
Meng Zihan's lips trembled uncontrollably, and she could only plead repeatedly with those few pale words.
"Brother Yifei...I...I was wrong..."
"I beg you, I really beg you..."
Do you think you can wash away everything you've done by simply saying "I was wrong"?
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
"All your schemes are crystal clear to me today."
"Chance?"
I didn't have a chance to give it to you.
From now on, I just want to stay far away from you.
He looked at her and said, word by word.
I never want to hear your lies again.
I never want to see your face again.
After saying her last sentence, Meng Zihan swayed slightly.
She could no longer hold on; a sob escaped her throat, and she collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
Gu Yifei showed no mercy and retreated step by step, getting further and further away from her.
Ye Linchen stood not far away, coldly watching Meng Zihan cry and beg for mercy on the ground, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Isn't all of this Meng Zihan's own doing?
They don't deserve any sympathy whatsoever.
In her previous life, she was repeatedly framed and plotted against by Meng Zihan, leaving her unable to speak out.
In this life, fortunes change.
Meng Zihan thought herself clever, scheming and plotting, but in the end she outsmarted herself and suffered a great setback.
Retribution may be late, but it never fails to arrive.
Gu Jingran stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Yifei.
His tall figure, like a wall, completely separated Gu Yifei from Meng Zihan, who was crying on the ground.
He turned around, glanced at Gu Yifei, and said in a low voice, "You don't need to pay attention to her."
Meng Zihan struggled to lift her head, tears blurring her vision. She could only see Gu Yifei and Gu Jingran's faces, both cold and almost disgusted, while on the other side, Ye Linchen was staring at her with a half-smile.
His eyes held a leisurely, spectator-like gaze, a mocking expression, and an undisguised glee.
All of this felt like a resounding slap across her face, leaving a burning pain.
Her face, her dignity, were shattered in that moment.
She finally understood.
it's all over.
This time, she truly lost.
We lost completely, with no room for maneuver.
Her body went limp, and she collapsed onto the cold ground, staring blankly ahead with unfocused eyes, her mind preoccupied with only one thought.
Without Gu Yifei, how can she turn her life around in this lifetime?
The police officers had no time to care about Meng Zihan's self-pity, despair, and regret.
For them, this is just a case that has already been solved and needs to be closed according to procedure.
The lead police officer turned to the last page of his notebook and said to Meng Zihan, "Comrade Meng Zihan."
This address, devoid of any emotion, still made Meng Zihan tremble.
"After investigation and verification, it has been found that your false accusation of indecent assault against another person constitutes a serious false alarm."
"This is a very irresponsible and egregious act from a legal perspective."
“According to our current regulations on administrative penalties for public security,” he said calmly, “you will be given an administrative warning.”
"This warning will be officially recorded in your personal police file, becoming a record that you can never erase for the rest of your life."
The word "file" made Meng Zihan's pupils contract sharply.
"At the same time, we will send a formal letter of notification to your steel plant's security department and plant office."
"Your company will handle this internally according to the factory's regulations."
"You must submit a profound written self-criticism, reflecting seriously and thoroughly on the mistake you made."
