Ye Zi swallowed hard, then forced herself to remain calm and said, "Ghost Voice, I was just curious that day and wanted to see your true face, so I deliberately provoked you."

She added, "How could a professional singer have such an absurd idea? It was just a joke, don't take it seriously."

Su Ran sneered: "Aren't you going to admit the video was fabricated?"

"This video has been edited!" Ye Zi declared firmly.

Seeing that Su Ran remained silent, she shouted, "Ghost Voice, do you know what you're doing? Stop right now! If you think I did this on purpose, you can call the police. There's no need to ruin my reputation on the show. Director, you don't want her to destroy a perfectly good program either!"

Ye Zi became agitated, clenching her fists tightly, and her eyes flashed with a fierce glint as she looked at Su Ran.

Director Yu was also conflicted. What if the ghost voice was really wrong? Wouldn't he be scorned in the industry for the rest of his life? Ye Zi was no ordinary person. She was a legendary diva in the Chinese music scene for more than ten years.

For a newcomer who has just made his mark in the industry to try and take down a superstar like a queen on a TV show, isn't that like throwing an egg against a rock?

Su Ran completely ignored what she said and told the director to switch to the next scene.

The director glanced at the director, who looked constipated. Since the director couldn't make a decision, he decided to cut it himself.

The large screen instantly switched to a detailed medical examination report, with all the data clearly displayed. Many netizens who understood the American language provided translation in the live stream.

Aside from having a benign tumor removed recently, her other health indicators are much better than mine, for an 18-year-old girl.

[Impossible! Fake! This is slander! Director, you're unqualified to do this! Stop airing immediately!]

[How exciting! A newcomer versus a former queen of pop – who will emerge victorious?]

The director must be in a real bind, with someone causing trouble.

If this report is true, then Ye Zi is finished; her fans who have supported her for over a decade are going crazy!

Ye Zi's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the medical report on the screen. Her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and she wished she could kill the person on stage!

But the person she wanted to kill on stage just stood there calmly.

"Empress Ye, you're willing to risk everything to regain your former glory, even if you can't have me. But the worst thing you could do is use an innocent girl who's being bullied at school to ruin me!"

Ye Zi's face turned deathly pale, and she felt uneasy.

"Director, I want to end the broadcast. I'm not recording this show anymore!"

"Empress Ye, how can you run away when faced with a problem? I have something else I haven't shared with everyone yet," Su Ran said coldly.

"I will have my lawyer speak with you personally, and you will absolutely not escape the charge of defamation!"

"Whether it's defamation or not is irrelevant, but you absolutely cannot escape legal punishment."

The big screen changed again, revealing Ye Zi's chat history with others.

Every word and sentence explained how they obtained the video of Su Ran being abused, how they managed to replace the stage MV video when no one was looking, and even more so, the chilling words spoken at the end.

“Anyone who disobeys my orders should be destroyed, just like Su Qinya.”

Everyone was shocked!

Who is Su Qinya?

Why destroy it?

How did she ruin it?

It's easy to imagine that when Su Ran saw this sentence, her blood seemed to freeze.

Scenes of my mother's death kept replaying in my mind.

The truck that suddenly went out of control, the mother's resentful eyes, her shattered body...

It turns out that Mom's death was never an accident!

Su Ran's eyes reddened.

"Empress Ye, do you have any further explanation?"

Ye Zi's mind went black, and every cell in her body screamed to run away! But she couldn't move her feet an inch; they felt as heavy as if they were filled with cement.

"I'm asking you, how did you ruin this woman named Su Qinya?" Su Ran slowly walked towards her.

"...Don't ask me, I don't know, don't ask me." Ye Zi said in a panic.

"Did you kill her?" Su Ran asked calmly.

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! I don't know anything about it!"

"Why are you so agitated when she's mentioned? How do you know she's dead?" Su Ran suppressed her raging anger and slowly walked up to Ye Zi.

"I need to find a lawyer! Contact my lawyer immediately!" Ye Zi took a few steps back in fear, a great sense of dread enveloping her heart.

"I'm sorry, I don't want you to leave yet. Please answer my questions." She pressed closer, her beautiful eyes like two icy pools, as if she wanted to freeze him to death.

Ye Zi pretended to be mute and signaled to the bodyguard to take her away.

But how could Su Ran let her off so easily?

Right in front of the crowd, she grabbed Ye Zi by the hair and slammed her head hard onto the table!

I can make you mute for the rest of your life!

He grabbed Ye Zi by the head and slapped her hard across the face!

"Ghost sound——"

"stop!"

"Calm down, hitting people is illegal!"

The scene was in chaos.

Gu Cai rushed over and pulled away the ghostly voice.

By this time, Guiyin had already slapped Ye Zi five times across the face, her hand aching from the blows. If Gu Cai hadn't intervened, she could have truly rendered Ye Zi mute.

At this moment, Ye Zi's face was visibly swollen like a loaf of bread, and her nose and chin, which were probably implanted, were crooked and deformed. Coupled with her messy, bird's nest-like hair, she looked like a madwoman, completely unlike her usual goddess image, and she hid behind the bodyguard in fear.

Seeing Su Ran being held back by Gu Cai, a murderous intent surged into his heart.

"Ghost Sound, you just wait and see!"

"You should think about how to deal with the police," Su Ran said calmly.

Suddenly, a door on the other side of the stage opened from the inside, and a group of smartly dressed police officers in dark blue uniforms and caps with badges came out and showed their identification.

"Ms. Ye, someone has reported you for faking an accident thirteen years ago. Please come with us."

Ye Zi froze, then shook her head frantically.

"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"If you have any questions, go to the police station and talk to them. We will not let any wrongful conviction go unpunished."

"Slander! This is blatant slander! You have no evidence, how can you take me away like this?"

“Someone provided an audio recording of someone singing on your behalf, and we strongly suspect that you have a motive for murder.”

"No, there's no evidence at all. If you're so capable, bring it out and confront me!" Ye Zi retorted.

"As you wish." The police played a muted audio message.

At first, someone was singing, and the voice was exactly the same as Ye Zi's voice that everyone had heard thirteen years ago. But slowly, something felt off.

As the singer reached the end of the song, the last notes of the song were not yet finished. After being muted, a dialogue was still hidden within it.

"Ye Zi, this is the last time I'll sing for you."

Everyone was surprised and wondered, could this be Su Qinya?

The one who responded to this statement was Ye Tianhou, whom they were familiar with.

"Qinya, I just won the Golden Melody Award, why aren't you singing for me?"

"I want to pursue my own dreams. I've done enough for you all these years."

"No, you can't do that! Your voice can only belong to 'Ye Zi', not 'Su Qinya'."

“But we agreed that I would sing for you for five years, and you would retire once you had made some money. But I have been singing for you for eight years now, which is past the deadline. Ye Zi, you can’t go back on your word.”

"Haven't I been good enough to you all these years? I'm the one who provided your husband with all his resources. You have a happy and fulfilling family because of me. Aren't you grateful at all?"

"If you say that, then we have nothing to talk about. I've already decided to divorce Shi Zheng. I'm only here to inform you. I won't sing for you anymore."

"Su Qinya! You can't be so selfish!"

"Over the years, you've used my voice to win all the awards you deserve and earn all the money you could. Now it's time for me to pursue my dreams. I'm leaving. Take care."

"Su Qinya, very well, don't blame me, you forced me to do this!"

This audio recording comes from a record among Su Qinya's belongings.

This was the last song Su Qinya recorded for Ye Zi.

The reason these things are kept is that in the eyes of the public, all the songs are credited to Ye Zi, but only these recordings that are never leaked are credited to Su Qinya.

Her mother never gave up on her dream.

Ye Zi nearly fainted, her body collapsing to the ground.
