The reporters chattered amongst themselves, various speculations and rumors spreading through the crowd. "I heard that the woman who turned herself in was plotting a series of schemes against others for a man." "Really? That's too dramatic." "I wonder if there are other people behind her; it doesn't seem that simple."
Soon, the news of Lin Wanqing's surrender exploded online. The previously overwhelming criticism of Zhong Hua and A Yu began to subtly shift. Some netizens started to doubt previous statements, expressing their opinions on social media. "Were we misled before? Maybe there's a bigger conspiracy behind this." "Is Lin Wanqing really the mastermind? There seem to be many suspicious points."
Online speculation and discussion surged, and the topic quickly gained popularity. Some self-media outlets, eager to capitalize on the hype, began digging into Lin Wanqing's background, piecing together fragments of her past life to create various dubious reports. Meanwhile, Lin Wanqing remained quietly in the police station's interrogation room, completely unaware of the media storm that had erupted outside.
Inner torment and perseverance
Lin Wanqing sat in the interrogation room, time seeming to stretch on endlessly. Her thoughts drifted between memories and reality, sometimes recalling her childhood with Ah Yu, sometimes seeing Zhong Hua's mother's frail appearance. A complex mix of emotions welled up within her, a mixture of regret for her past actions and uncertainty about the future.
She didn't know if turning herself in would truly save Ah Yu and Zhong Hua, nor what punishment awaited her. But she knew it was the only thing she could do. She silently prayed that the police would conclude their investigation quickly and bring everything to a close.
As time went by, hunger and exhaustion began to take hold of her. But she never complained, simply sitting there quietly, her eyes resolute. Occasionally, a policeman would come in to bring her some water and food, and she would quietly thank him before continuing to immerse herself in her thoughts.
During this agonizing wait, Lin Wanqing's heart gradually grew stronger. She knew that no matter the outcome, she had to face it bravely. She had already taken this difficult step, and she could no longer back down.
The Fog and the Dawn of Truth
The police investigation was proceeding intensively. Based on the clues provided by Lin Wanqing, the officers began conducting door-to-door inquiries. They contacted the head of the online trolls to try and verify Lin Wanqing's claims. However, the head of the trolls seemed to have vanished into thin air and could not be found.
This unusual situation made the police even more suspicious of Lin Wanqing's confession. They began to re-examine the entire case and discovered more and more doubts. For example, the channel through which Lin Wanqing claimed to have leaked Zhong Hua's mother's medical condition was found to be difficult to leak with such precision, given her capabilities.
Just as the investigation reached a stalemate, Ah Yu and Zhong Hua learned that Lin Wanqing had turned herself in. Anxious and distraught, they decided to stop waiting passively. Ah Yu, leveraging his connections, began a covert investigation into Gu Yanting, convinced that he was behind everything. Zhong Hua, on the other hand, used his intelligence to investigate seemingly insignificant details, attempting to uncover the hidden truth.
After much arduous effort, Ah Yu and Zhong Hua finally found some crucial clues pointing to Gu Yanting. They discovered that Gu Yanting was colluding with some business rivals and, in order to achieve his own business goals, was willing to use Lin Wanqing to orchestrate a series of events targeting Zhong Hua and Ah Yu.
They brought these clues to the police station and explained the situation in detail to the officers. Based on the clues they provided, the police readjusted their investigation. As the investigation deepened, the truth gradually surfaced, and Gu Yanting's ugly face was gradually revealed to everyone.
Although Lin Wanqing's surrender was initially shrouded in mystery, the truth finally came to light thanks to the combined efforts of Ah Yu, Zhong Hua, and the police. And after the truth is revealed, Lin Wanqing will face a future that may no longer be a heavy burden.
