After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

After thinking it over, Lian Buman decided to go all out since she had already said it.

"Do you fucking know how envious I am of you?" She grabbed Shen Baolin's collar. "I've wanted to be friends with Lu Sijian since I was little, and I wanted to ask her to play with me, but she was always held back by you. She had to help you with your homework, accompany you to your extracurricular classes, and even play sports with you!"

"I asked her out for a whole month, and she never had time! And you were still strutting around in front of me, saying that Lu Sijian only hangs out with you! Do you know how much I wanted to punch you back then?"

Shen Baolin looked at her in disbelief, "You like Lu Sijian?"

But how could that be? "You used to be so sarcastic and sarcastic every time you saw her..."

No, no, this shouldn't be happening.

How could Lian Buman possibly like Lu Sijian?

"Don't you know why I'm being sarcastic? Isn't it because every time we argue, you drag her into it to help you? Because when I'm angry or jealous, why is she so protective of you?"

Lian Buman let go, "Why do you think I ignored your attempts to be friendly? Because I can't stand you. You gained such a precious friendship, but you never cherish it!"

Shen Baolin staggered back a few steps, as if she had been slapped several times from a distance, her face burning with pain.

Lian Buman: "When you betrayed her and tried to curry favor with me time and time again, do you know what I was thinking? I just wanted to smash your pig brain in!"

"I didn't betray her!" Shen Baolin cried out in despair.

"You told me that Youyou had been bribed by her, just so you could see me tear her apart, right? Aren't you disappointed that you didn't get your wish?" Lian Buman crossed her arms. "You even blamed her for our discord, saying that she's the one who's making you unpopular. Don't you have any self-awareness about who's dragging whom down?"

After a pause, Lian Buman's expression turned cold. "You even maliciously speculated that she seduced my ex-boyfriend! Weren't you the one who sent me messages today to lure me into catching her cheating?"

Shen Baolin's fingers twitched suddenly, and she averted her gaze.

Her darkest thoughts were exposed, and she felt the light above her head was too bright, as if she had nowhere to hide.

She stiffened her neck and said coldly, "So what? They've met several times in private. I just want you to know the truth."

"Don't talk nonsense. We've only met once in private. You're the one who instigated me to go see her, okay?" Song Xiuran quickly clarified.

He was ready to go all out anyway. "I'm not a good person. Luckily, she woke me up that time, so when the waiter said that Miss Lu brought me wine tonight, I knew something was wrong, because she would never bring me wine!"

"That's why I kept biting my tongue to keep myself from falling asleep, which allowed me to crawl out of the room and jump into the fountain outside!"

This was the best decision he had ever made in his life, even though climbing that stretch of road had taken all his willpower and he had never been in so much pain.

After being thoroughly drenched in the pool water and fully sobering up, he lay sprawled on the edge of the pool, almost bursting into laughter.

Then a familiar voice rang out from above: "What are you doing here grinning like an idiot?"

Even now, when Song Xiuran thinks about it, he can't help but curl up his lips, feeling incredibly happy.

He arrogantly raised his chin at Zhou Guyang: "I really have to thank you for your scheming, otherwise I wouldn't have known I was so cool."

Zhou Guyang's eyes were filled with malice, "A petty person who has gained power!"

"I'm a despicable person, but what about you? Aren't you even uglier than me?" Song Xiuran sneered. "You plotted against me tonight just to make me your scapegoat, didn't you?"

He felt disgusted just talking about the other party's schemes.

"You sneaked into Lu Sijian's room to rape her, then put me in her room afterwards, and then notified Manman to catch you in the act. That way, I took the blame, and Lu Sijian thought it was me, so you could disappear without a trace."

Lu Sijian sighed.

[That's still too conservative. Zhou Guyang is a profit-driven person. He's going to such lengths not just to gain an advantage once.]

[You should know, there was no drug in my drink.]

Sheng Yunchao's eyes were icy: "His schemes don't stop there."

He walked over and kicked Zhou Guyang. "You weren't planning to hide yourself, were you? You're going to use this to blackmail A-Jian and force her to maintain an improper relationship with you, aren't you?"

"Because you overheard Uncle Lu's will at the hospital that day, which left all the shares to A-Jian, and you wanted to manipulate her to gradually swallow up the Lu Group, right?"

Shen Baolin slumped to the ground, as if her backbone had been removed.

So this is Zhou Guyang's entire plan for tonight?

She had already accepted her boyfriend's betrayal, but what was even more disgusting than the betrayal was the despicable nature of his character.

A sound came from outside the door; the police had arrived.

The manor manager also caught the waiter. When the waiter realized something was wrong, he tried to escape, but fortunately he was caught in time.

Everything is undeniable; Zhou Guyang will be prosecuted and face imprisonment.

Before he was taken away, he mustered all his strength to rush towards Shen Baolin and embrace her tightly, saying, "Baolin, I'm not a good person, but I will love you until I die."

Shen Baolin leaned on his shoulder, her heart breaking, a flood of thoughts washing over her.

What a touching love story! All his ruthless methods were for the sake of climbing to a higher position, so he could be worthy of you!

Shen Baolin's expression froze, and she broke free from Zhou Guyang's embrace.

Zhou Guyang didn't take it to heart. He was certain that he still loved Shen Baolin, and that she loved him too. So why couldn't he take advantage of her soft heart to help him out?

He looked disheveled yet smiled with a roguish charm, "I promised not to let you cry, but I broke my promise..."

"It's you! You fucking pay up!" a voice interrupted him.

Zhou Guyang immediately had a bad feeling.

Several people were brought up by the police, and they gritted their teeth when they saw Zhou Guyang.

"You bribed us to teach Lu Sijian a lesson, and we really thought it was just a threat. But you came here yourself and beat us up badly!"

"If you wanted to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, you should have said so earlier! Not only did you try to make it look real by lying to us, but you also beat us half to death and haven't paid the final payment!"

"Brother, that's not how you do things. You're being disloyal. You'll have to watch out when you walk alone at night in the future."

Zhou Guyang looked at Lu Sijian with a sinister gaze, "You investigated me?"

Lu Sijian: "It's not that I want to investigate you, it's just that you're too stupid. Why do you keep playing the same hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope?"

Shen Baolin took a few steps back in shock, all the emotion in her eyes vanishing completely.

The reason she liked Zhou Guyang was because when she was cornered in an alley by thugs, Zhou Guyang happened to pass by and saved her.

That night, he shielded her tightly behind him, enduring countless punches and kicks until his body was covered in bruises.

No one has ever loved her so unconditionally.

For many years afterward, she remembered that night, the boy's burning chest and ardent eyes.

But now, is Lu Sijian trying to tell her that everything was wrong on the night their love first began?
