Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

After saying that, Su Wuli hung up the phone and stood there frozen, still holding the phone.

A night breeze swept through the window, causing the shadows of the trees to sway.

After what seemed like an eternity, she slowly lowered her stiff arm and buried her face in her cold palms.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, and tears fell silently.

She had planned to tell Yu Chen about it before going to sleep that night, but she slept soundly without any dreams.

When I woke up in the morning, I received a call from the city's criminal investigation team, saying that Zhou Ruoying and the others had turned themselves in.

The van driver from back then also went to the police station.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli tightened her grip on her phone slightly.

He responded softly, "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up, another call came in quickly; it was from Zhou Ruoying's mother.

In just one night, Su Wuli could clearly hear the weariness in her voice.

"Yingying went to the police station. Can we have the antidote now?" He had lost his spirit from yesterday as he spoke.

"Okay." Su Wuli nodded. "You can come to the company to find me later."

Su Wuli told Lin Liwen about the situation.

She looked bewildered. "People like them would actually turn themselves in?"

Su Wuli curled her lips into a smile. "Whether it's jail or death, they can tell the difference."

"What?" Lin Liwen didn't quite hear.

"It's nothing," Su Wuli shook her head.

He then said, "When Zhou Ruoying's parents come over later, don't let them come up. I don't want to see them. Just give her the things directly."

"Okay," Lin Liwen agreed, but couldn't help but ask with concern, "You don't look too well. Why don't you lie down on the sofa for a while? I'll call you when they arrive."

"Okay." Su Wuli nodded in agreement.

She dozed off for a while, until she was shaken awake.

"Wu Li, they've arrived."

"Hmm." She sat up, took a small bottle out of her bag, and handed it to Lin Liwen.

"This is it?" Lin Liwen asked curiously.

"Okay." Su Wuli nodded. "No need to say anything more to them, just give it to them and leave."

"OK."

When Lin Liwen returned, she said that the other party kept making a fuss about wanting to see Su Wuli.

She couldn't help but complain, "How can they have the nerve to raise such a scourge on society?"

Su Wuli didn't care about any of that; she just wanted to bring Zhou Ruoying and the others to justice as soon as possible.

Later that evening, I received calls from the criminal investigation team and my lawyer, who said that the case was settled and there would be no further changes.

Everything will eventually settle down.

Su Wuli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she took the photos out of the drawer.

She called out softly, "Mom, those people finally got what they deserved."

No one answered her.

After taking a shower and lying in bed that night, my only thought before falling asleep was to tell Yu Chen the news.

Tell him that the law is useful, more useful than taking matters into his own hands.

But he had no dreams all night.

When she woke up in the morning, she lay in bed staring at the ceiling, momentarily lost in thought.

She didn't think much of it, since her dreams had never followed any pattern and were never under her control.

However, the same thing happened for the next two days, and it was something that had never happened before.

For several days in a row.

A question involuntarily crossed my mind: Could it be over?

But he hadn't told him yet that Zhou Ruoying and the others had already received the punishment they deserved.

On the afternoon of the third day, Wen Yan called and asked her to go out.

Su Wuli wasn't very interested and originally intended to refuse.

However, Wen Yan spoke first, "Don't tell me you have a schedule. I asked Sister Wen, and you're free tonight."

Su Wuli pinched the bridge of her nose and admitted, "I'm a little tired..."

"You only come out when you're tired," Wen Yan interrupted her, her voice lowered but unusually serious.

"I just went abroad to attend a fashion week, and such a big thing happened when I came back. Su Wuli, I'm your friend, how long are you going to keep this to yourself?"

Wen Yan was really afraid that she would suffocate herself.

Su Wuli remained silent for a few seconds before finally nodding in agreement.

......................................................

When I arrived, Wen Yan was already there.

She was wearing a hat and a mask, but Su Wuli recognized her at a glance.

The door to the private room was closed, cutting off the sounds from outside.

Wen Yan took off her mask, revealing a delicate face that was filled with worry.

Without even ordering a drink, he grabbed Su Wuli's hand and looked her up and down, saying, "Let me see."

Su Wuli let her look at her, and twitched the corner of her mouth, "What are you looking at? It's not like I'm missing a piece of flesh."

"Stop joking with me." Wen Yan glared at her, her eyes a little red. "I've seen the video..."

She suddenly choked up as she spoke, "No wonder you were acting strange when I saw them at the coffee shop. Why didn't you say anything? If you had, I definitely would have—"

"Alright, don't get agitated," Su Wuli reassured her.

However, this time Wen Yan did not give up, her eyes reddening.

"Su Wuli, do you know how much I hate myself for being bullied right under my nose?"

"It's not your fault." Su Wuli raised her hand and covered the back of her hand. "I was too cowardly."

"Su Wuli, stop comforting me."

Wen Yan choked up, and her nose stung with tears.

"The more you act like this... the sadder I get. I'd rather you blame me, blame me for not standing up for you."

She couldn't help but cry as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli's eyes stung with tears. She bit her lip, sniffed, and reached out to wipe them away.

"Okay, it's all my fault."

Her hand was held by Wen Yan, whose eyes were full of heartache as she looked up. "You did nothing wrong... it's all the fault of those who bullied you."

Wen Yan sniffed, suppressing her sobs, "Were you... scared back then?"

Are you scared? Su Wuli thought for a moment.

I was so scared, so scared that I felt cold to the bone.

Su Wuli lowered her eyes and softly hummed in agreement.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Yan hugged her, and she could hear her whispering.

"I'm sorry for meeting you so late. You must have been very scared."

Upon hearing her apology, Su Wuli's suppressed tears instantly burst forth, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Yes, she was really scared at the time and desperately wanted someone to lend her a helping hand.

But no, it never happened.

"Don't worry," Wen Yan patted her back gently, "I won't let you suffer any more grievances in the future."

"Okay," Su Wuli replied softly.

The two embraced for a long time.

When I relaxed, my emotions stabilized a little.

Wen Yan looked worried. "Wu Li, should we call the police?"

Su Wuli shook her head; no one else knew that she had called the police.

Wen Yan became a little impatient when she saw her shaking her head. "Why don't you call the police? Those scumbags should pay the price for what they did."

"I already called the police a few days ago," Su Wuli told directly.

Wen Yan's expression froze for a moment, then she calmed down a bit after realizing what had happened.

He then said, "If you need anything in the future, just let me know, and I'll definitely help you."

"No……"

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Wen Yan asked, puzzled.

"No," Su Wuli shook her head, "the matter has been resolved."

Wen Yan paused for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Su Wuli looked at her and said thank you.

"What's the use of just thanking them?" Wen Yan's tone softened.

He then picked up the menu and said, "Have dinner with me tonight. I've invited a few friends, all of whom I trust. Consider it a break for you; you'll break if you keep pushing yourself too hard."

Su Wuli wanted to refuse, but seeing the persistence in Wen Yan's eyes...

And there was also that lingering unease in his heart that he really needed to distract himself from, so he nodded in agreement.

The location was set in a private room in the backyard of a barbecue restaurant with a lot of privacy.

When Su Wuli and Wen Yan arrived, there were already two or three other people there, all of whom were Wen Yan's friends outside the entertainment circle, and the atmosphere was casual.

No one seemed particularly surprised, which made Su Wuli relax a little.

After a while, two more boys came in.

The tall, thin man walking in front, wearing a clean hoodie, is Wen Yan's cousin, named Zhou Yiyang.

Su Wuli had met once before.

The one behind...
