Li Ling finally couldn't hold back her tears, choking as she recounted her suffering. "Several of my friends and I from my previous company were tortured by him to the point where we were stuck between life and death."
"That's not even the most disgusting thing. The most disgusting thing is him... He doesn't care about gender. As long as someone is good-looking, he'll do the same thing. At that time, Tianrui hadn't returned from the talent show, so he didn't fall into his clutches."
"But...but I never expected that Brother Tianrui would end up in trouble because of us..."
Zhou Ziheng remained silent and seemed calm on the surface, but anyone who was more careful could notice that his uninjured left hand was clenched into a fist so tightly that his nails dug into it because he was squeezing so hard.
When Wen Wan saw this, she calmly took his hand and interlocked her fingers with his to stop him from hurting herself.
"Speaking of this...we are really sorry to Brother Tianrui, because he could have stayed out of it." Li Ling's eyes were dim at the moment, and she looked very lost. She smiled bitterly as she spoke.
"When Brother Tianrui came back, almost all of us were killed by Fangcheng... But we all tacitly didn't tell Brother Tianrui and have been silently protecting him."
"After going through all this pain, we don't want anyone else to make the same mistake, and we definitely don't want Brother Tianrui to fall into it, because he's truly, truly wonderful!"
Zhou Ziheng looked ahead expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wen Wan watched his behavior closely, fearing that he would lose control of his emotions again and do something to hurt himself.
Li Ling recalled the glittering figure in her memory, and a bittersweet feeling welled up in her heart. "Brother Tianrui is always full of energy and vitality, and incredibly optimistic. It's as if he never has any worries, like a little sun."
"He's also incredibly understanding. No matter who of us is in trouble, he's always there to help. He's incredibly kind, and precisely because of that, his insight far surpasses that of ordinary people."
"So our unusual behavior caught his attention. When he first asked us about it, we tried our best to hide it from him, but in the end, we couldn't persuade him."
"He eventually found out everything, even risking his own life to help us. He spent days studying Fang Cheng's movements, intending to break into his office, steal the photos, and hand them over to the police, completely bringing him down."
Wen Wan couldn't help but feel a little admiration when she heard this, because... there are very few people in this world who are willing to go through fire and water for their friends. Regardless of whether he succeeds in the end or not, his courage to do it is worthy of everyone's admiration.
"But not only did this plan fail in the end, he even got himself into trouble. It's really strange to say. Brother Tianrui's plan was very meticulous. Logically speaking, Fang Cheng shouldn't have appeared at that time."
"But he happened to return to the company just as Brother Tianrui had entered his office, as if he had the ability to advance. In the end, he caught Brother Tianrui head-on and..."
When Zhou Ziheng heard this, his breathing suddenly stopped and he subconsciously tightened his hands.
Wen Wan also held his hand tightly and stroked his back with her other hand, trying to comfort him.
In fact, anyone who heard about this would be heartbroken, but Zhou Ziheng was the one who felt the most pain...
Because he always felt that he didn't care enough about his friend, that he failed to seize the opportunity to save his friend, and that he didn't even discover the secret he left behind until four or five years later.
Although this is indeed a very regrettable thing, what has happened has happened, and there is no way to change it no matter how much you regret it, so... now we can only try our best to make up for it and solve it, hoping that "it is not too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost."
"After Brother Tianrui was brutally murdered, we were all heartbroken, so heartbroken we even blamed ourselves and wanted to die. But he, who should have been the saddest, comforted us instead."
"After he calmed us down, he suddenly became depressed. The light in his eyes disappeared, and he stopped smiling. He didn't do anything else, but just quietly worked, silently playing along with Fang Cheng."
"Later... not long after, one of our friends was fed up with this kind of life. He climbed to the top floor and jumped down with all his might. He never opened his eyes again."
When she said this, she burst into tears again, and because of her uneasy mood, she kept emitting negative energy, and her eyes revealed a strong hatred, and she seemed to be turning into a vengeful spirit.
Wen Wan calmly reached out her hand, gently patted her shoulder, and ordered sternly: "Concentrate, calm yourself down."
After hearing this, Li Ling regained some of her sanity and quickly did as she said. With the help of Wen Wan's Taoist magic, she woke up after a while.
Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Fortunately, she didn't turn into a vengeful spirit, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with!
She couldn't help but curse in her heart, Fang Cheng is a scumbag! He deserves to die!
Li Ling asked in confusion, "I...what happened to me just now?"
"You are affected by the resentment in yourself. If we were not here today, you would have turned into a vengeful spirit." Wen Wan answered seriously and truthfully.
"I...I didn't mean it." After Li Ling understood the whole story, she apologized to her weakly, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Wen Wan waved her hand disapprovingly and said coldly, "It's not you who should apologize, but that scumbag Fang Cheng!"
"Don't worry, the evidence we previously obtained has now been handed over to the police. Once the arrest warrant comes out, the police will arrest him immediately, and everything...will be revealed!"
"Evidence?" Li Ling's face showed a trace of confusion.
Wen Wan suddenly smiled and nodded vigorously at her, "Yes!"
"Senior Qiao somehow collected those photos and uploaded them to an encrypted network drive. He secretly left a message before his death, which is how we were able to find our way here."
"It... is actually like this?" Li Ling said with surprise and disbelief on her face.
Wen Wan was a little puzzled. She tilted her head slightly to look at her and asked, "...what else should it be?"
Li Ling was so shocked that it took her a long time to recover. She lowered her head and explained dejectedly, "He was completely devastated at the time. We all thought he had given up. We never expected... he was still secretly investigating."
After all, they were too superficial and actually thought that Qiao Tianrui gave up after suffering a setback.
Wen Wan nodded slightly, then brought the topic back to the topic, "So... who is the woman you want to kill?"
