Lin Wanqing arrived at the police station, took a deep breath, and slowly walked in. She gave a detailed account of a series of so-called "crimes" to the police, taking all the blame upon herself.
"I orchestrated all of this; it has nothing to do with Ah Yu and Zhong Hua. I was jealous of Gu Yanting and Zhong Hua's engagement, so I came up with these plans to sabotage it. Please punish me," Lin Wanqing said calmly.
The police were quite surprised by her confession, but still recorded it according to procedure. Soon, news of Lin Wanqing's surrender spread, once again attracting media attention.
IX. Shift in Public Opinion and Ah Yu's Awakening
Lin Wanqing's surrender caused a shift in public opinion. Some netizens began to doubt previous reports, feeling that things might not be as simple as they seemed. Ah Yu, upon learning of Lin Wanqing's surrender, was deeply moved.
"Wanqing, why did you do this? I can't let you bear all this alone." Ah Yu felt both moved and guilty. He realized that he could no longer sit idly by and had to expose Gu Yanting's true colors as soon as possible to save Lin Wanqing and Zhong Hua.
Ah Yu rallied his spirits and began searching far and wide for evidence of Gu Yanting's crimes. In the process, he received help from some friends. Together, they conducted investigations and gradually uncovered some clues about Gu Yanting's illegal activities.
"Gu Yanting, you think you've covered your tracks perfectly, but your crimes will be exposed sooner or later. I will never let you get away with this!" Ah Yu's eyes gleamed with determination.
Meanwhile, Zhong Hua, after her initial breakdown, began to pull herself together, determined not to let Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing down. With her wisdom and courage, she sought the truth in her own way. She firmly believed that as long as they worked together, they could defeat Gu Yanting and clear her, Ah Yu's, and Lin Wanqing's names.
10. Evidence Gathering and Crisis
The evidence that Ah Yu and Zhong Hua found gradually came together, pointing more and more clearly to Gu Yanting's various misdeeds. However, their actions also aroused Gu Yanting's suspicion.
"Oh no! Ah Yu and Zhong Hua are collecting evidence against me. We can't let them succeed!" Gu Yanting panicked upon hearing the news. He immediately sent people to stop Ah Yu and Zhong Hua, attempting to destroy the evidence.
A fierce battle for evidence ensued. Gu Yanting's men resorted to any means necessary, relentlessly pursuing and intercepting Ah Yu and Zhong Hua. Ah Yu and Zhong Hua, on the other hand, carefully protected the evidence in their hands, engaging in a battle of wits with them.
“Ah Yu, we must preserve this evidence; it’s the key to bringing down Gu Yanting,” Zhong Hua said firmly.
"Don't worry, Hua Hua, I won't let them succeed." Ah Yu held Zhong Hua's hand tightly, her eyes filled with determination.
After a thrilling struggle, Ah Yu and Zhong Hua finally managed to preserve the crucial evidence. However, this also plunged them into an even more dangerous situation. Enraged, Gu Yanting launched a final, frenzied attack on Ah Yu and Zhong Hua. Their lives were severely threatened, as if they were trapped in a perilous snare.
XI. Police Intervention and Dilemmas
As the conflict between Ah Yu, Zhong Hua, and Gu Yanting escalated, the impact of the incident grew. The police began to take it seriously and launched a secret investigation into Gu Yanting.
Gu Yanting found himself caught in a pincer movement between Ah Yu, Zhong Hua, and the police, but he still attempted to put up a stubborn resistance. On one hand, he continued to send people to deal with Ah Yu and Zhong Hua; on the other hand, he tried to destroy more evidence and also tried to interfere with the police investigation.
"Hmph, you think you can bring me down? Not so easy! I, Gu Yanting, am not so easy to deal with." Gu Yanting said through gritted teeth in his office.
Despite Gu Yanting's relentless attacks, Ah Yu and Zhong Hua did not back down. They cooperated closely with the police, providing them with the evidence they had collected. However, Gu Yanting's immense power and interference greatly hampered the police investigation.
“We must hold on. As long as the police have enough evidence, Gu Yanting will not escape the punishment of the law,” Ah Yu encouraged Zhong Hua.
Zhong Hua nodded: "Yes, we can definitely do it."
Throughout this arduous journey, Ah Yu and Zhong Hua supported each other, facing various difficulties and dangers together. Their relationship deepened during this ordeal, and their trust in each other became even stronger.
12. The Truth Comes to Light and the Trial
After a painstaking investigation, the police finally obtained sufficient evidence of Gu Yanting's illegal and criminal activities. With various clues and evidence gradually coming together, the truth was about to be revealed.
Ah Yu, Zhong Hua, and Lin Wanqing's lawyers were making final preparations for the trial. A tense atmosphere filled the courtroom, both inside and out, as everyone awaited the final verdict.
The trial began, and the lawyers for both sides engaged in a fierce exchange. Ah Yu and Zhong Hua's side pressed forward relentlessly with solid evidence, while Gu Yanting offered various excuses in court, attempting to confuse the issue and escape punishment.
"Your Honor, this evidence is fabricated to frame me. I am innocent!" Gu Yanting shouted hoarsely.
However, at this crucial moment, several key witnesses testified in court, further confirming Gu Yanting's crimes. Some of these witnesses had been threatened by Gu Yanting, while others were privy to his illegal activities. Faced with irrefutable evidence, Gu Yanting's attempts to justify himself appeared weak and ineffective.
As witness testimonies and evidence continued to emerge, the situation reversed. The judge ultimately delivered a fair verdict, sentencing Gu Yanting to appropriate penalties for multiple illegal and criminal acts.
Upon hearing the verdict, Ah Yu, Zhong Hua, and Lin Wanqing embraced and wept. They had finally defeated Gu Yanting and cleared their names. This arduous struggle had also made them cherish their relationship even more. From now on, they would begin their lives anew with renewed hope.
