Wang Yun's driving records show that around the critical period when Lin Ruan claimed to be pregnant, he drove Lin Ruan to a neighboring city multiple times, keeping his whereabouts secret.
More conclusive evidence is that Cheng Zhou used his connections to obtain a recording of Wang Yun at a private party, in which she personally said that she had a relationship with a legal assistant and mentioned that her surname was Lin.
All the clues were finally pieced together to form a complete chain of evidence.
The truth has come out.
Lin Ruan used her cousin to obtain potent sleeping pills from a black market doctor, and then plotted against Lu Rang to create the illusion of spending the night together.
She was actually maintaining a close relationship with Wang Yun at the same time, and became pregnant. She chose to frame Lu Rang for the child.
It was to extort a huge sum of money from Lu Rang, or perhaps for other purposes as well.
...
On the night before the three-day deadline, Lu Rang and Shang Wu sat side by side in the living room, with all the collected evidence laid out in front of them.
There are bank transfer records showing the source of the drugs, as well as communication and travel records between Lin Ruan and her cousin and Wang Yun, and recordings of Wang Yun.
“She will definitely come to find us tomorrow.” Lu Rang squeezed Shang Wu’s hand.
"Mmm." Shang Wu leaned on his shoulder, feeling a long-lost sense of security. "Let's go together."
The next day, Lin Ruan appeared right on time.
It wasn't at the Yu family's house, nor at the law firm, but rather in a secluded private room at a coffee shop.
She wore a confident smile.
"Is the money ready? Attorney Lu, Miss Shang?"
Lu Rang didn't answer, but simply pushed a file folder on the table over.
Lin Ruan opened it with a puzzled look. When she saw what was inside, all the color drained from her face, and her fingers began to tremble uncontrollably.
Shang Wu slowly stood up, looking down at her with a cold gaze: "Lin Ruan, your cousin has admitted to getting the medicine for you, and we've also found Wang Yun. Do you need to invite him over to confront you face to face?"
Extortion, defamation, and framing—tell me, with multiple charges combined, how long will you, your cousin, and the doctor who prescribed your medication be imprisoned?
Lin Ruan looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with terror and disbelief: "You, how could you..."
"How did you find out?" Shang Wu leaned forward slightly, her voice low, "Because you were too clever for your own good, you were destined to lose."
Lu Rang also stood up and put his arm around Shang Wu's shoulder: "See you in court. Besides, you and the child in your belly have nothing to do with me. If you dare to harass A-Wu again, I will make you pay a price that is more painful than going to jail."
Lin Ruan slumped in her chair, her face ashen, unable to utter another word.
Stepping out of the coffee shop, the sun was shining brightly.
Lu Rang held Shang Wu's hand tightly.
"Awu, thank you for believing in me," he said softly, his voice slightly hoarse.
Shang Wu held his hand back, looked up to meet his affectionate gaze, and softly uttered a single word: "Stupid."
She chose to risk her life to pursue the truth alone, not just to prove his innocence.
She trusted Lu Rang and believed there was evidence to reverse the situation, which is why she couldn't bear to see the stalemate and went to investigate herself.
Fortunately, she chose to trust Lu Rang without reservation and fight alongside him.
They've always been like this.
Lu Rang understood the unspoken message in Shang Wu's single word. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Go home, Awu."
"good."
...
Inside the private room.
Lin Ruan held the light-looking document bag, yet it felt incredibly heavy.
Her hands were trembling, and her fingertips were icy cold.
She turned the pages one by one, and the more she looked, the paler her face became, as if all her strength had been drained away.
The transfer records between her and her cousin were so clear they were almost blinding.
Wang Yun's dashcam screenshots, and even a transcript of Wang Yun's voice message, are irrefutable evidence.
Her plan, which she thought was flawless, turned out to be full of loopholes.
She suddenly looked up, gritted her teeth, and rushed out.
Before Shang Wu and Lu Rang could even get into the car, Lin Ruan stopped them.
Shang Wu's eyes were calm, reflecting her current disheveled state.
Lu Rang's gaze was icy and sharp: "What are you going to do?"
"How...how did you find out?" Lin Ruan's voice was dry and almost incoherent.
“That’s not important,” Shang Wu said. “What’s important is that the chain of evidence is complete, including the extortion and defamation, plus your cousin.”
"You said, multiple crimes should be punished together..."
Shang Wu paused slightly, looking at her face, which had turned deathly pale.
How long will we be staying inside?
Lin Ruan's body swayed slightly.
She managed to stand up by holding onto the table.
It's over.
It's all over.
Her meticulously planned scheme was over.
Her fantasies of getting revenge on Shang Wu and making a fortune were shattered and completely collapsed at this moment.
