Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

"Who are you? Why did you invite us here?"

I asked warily, unconsciously moving closer to Gu Yichen.

The old man slowly took off his hat, revealing a weathered face. He pointed to a file folder on the stone table. "Take a look at this first."

Gu Yichen gestured for me to calm down. He opened the file bag, took out the documents inside, and flipped through them page by page.

As he read further, his expression grew increasingly serious, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

I couldn't help but go over to take a look, and what I saw immediately sent a chill down my spine.

The documents contain evidence of how Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao have embezzled company assets, framed business rivals, and even... hired thugs to injure people over the years!

Photos, audio recordings, videos, and even bank transfer records—the level of evidence is astounding!

"Are these... all real?" I asked incredulously, my voice trembling.

The old man nodded. “Absolutely true. We are an organization dedicated to upholding justice. Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao’s actions have long been on our radar, and we have been secretly collecting evidence of their crimes.”

He paused, then his tone became sharp, "Now, it's time to bring them to justice!"

Gu Yichen closed the file, his eyes resolute. "Thank you for the evidence you provided. We will make good use of it and give everyone an explanation!"

“But you must be careful,” the old man warned. “Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao are not to be trifled with. They have powerful backers, so you must act with caution.”

Gu Yichen nodded, indicating that he understood.

The old man put his hat back on, turned around, and prepared to leave. "Remember, don't alert them. Wait for our news."

His figure quickly disappeared into the thick fog, as if he had never been there at all.

Gu Yichen and I exchanged a glance, and we both saw a raging fire burning in each other's eyes.

We returned to the hospital, and the little boy had already woken up. He was lying in bed playing with the new Transformers toy that Gu Yichen had bought for him.

Seeing us return, he happily held up his toy, "Sister, look, this is Optimus Prime!"

I forced a smile, walked to his bedside, and patted his head. "Do you like it?"

"I love it!" He nodded vigorously. "When I get better, I want to play Transformers with my brother!"

Gu Yichen gently ruffled his hair, his eyes tender. "Okay, when you get better, your brother will play with you."

Watching the interaction between the two brothers, I felt a mix of emotions.

Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao, how could you bear to hurt such a kind and lovely child?

I clenched my fists tightly, my resolve to bring them to justice strengthened.

"Yichen, what should we do next?" I asked in a low voice.

Gu Yichen pondered for a moment, "The old man is right, we can't alert the enemy."

The evidence we have now is insufficient to apprehend them all. We need more evidence and to find their weaknesses before we can deliver a fatal blow.

I nodded in agreement.

“I have contacted my friend, who will help us investigate Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao’s social connections and financial situation, hoping to find their weaknesses.”

Gu Yichen said.

"That's great." I breathed a sigh of relief. "I hope everything goes well."

Over the next few days, we took care of the adorable child while secretly gathering evidence.

The elderly person provided us with some clues, and following these clues, we discovered some illegal transactions between Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao, and found several key witnesses.

The child's condition is improving day by day, and his strength and optimism have deeply touched me.

Although he was young, he was very sensible and never complained about his illness. Instead, he always comforted us.

"Sister, don't worry, I'll get better soon."

He held my hand and said earnestly, "When I get better, I'll protect you and my brother!"

Looking into the child's clear eyes, a warm feeling welled up in my heart.

For the sake of the adorable children, and for everyone who has been hurt by Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao, I will persevere, fight alongside Gu Yichen, and bring them to justice!

"Fu Yan, look who's here!"

Gu Yichen's voice came from the doorway, interrupting my play with the little one.

I looked up and saw Lu Mingxuan! He looked much more energetic, with a long-lost smile on his face.

"Mingxuan, you're here!" I stood up with delight and went to greet you. "Long time no see, how have you been?"

"I'm fine," Lu Mingxuan said with a smile. "Thanks to Yichen and that old man, I've found a new job and my life is back on track."

He paused, then looked at Gu Yichen, "Yichen, thank you."

Gu Yichen patted him on the shoulder, "We're brothers, no need for thanks."

I noticed that there was another person following behind Lu Mingxuan; it was Gu Yichen.

He seemed much more cheerful than before, no longer as gloomy and taciturn.

"Yichen, you're here too." I smiled at him.

He nodded, which was his way of saying hello.

"By the way, how's the little one doing?" Lu Mingxuan asked with concern.

"He's recovering very well and will be discharged in a few days," I said with a smile.

We chatted for a while, and then the old man came in. He gestured for us to sit down and said, "I came today to tell you some good news."

We all watched him nervously, waiting for him to continue.

"I have found the hiding place of the evidence of Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao's crimes," the old man said, word by word.

My heart started racing, and my breathing became rapid. Finally, we had a chance to bring these two villains to justice!

"Really? Where?" Gu Yichen asked impatiently.

The old man didn't answer directly. Instead, he took out a USB drive from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yichen. "There's a video in here showing Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao engaging in illegal transactions. It's key evidence of their crimes. The location where the video was filmed is where they hid other evidence."

Gu Yichen took the USB drive, his expression serious. "We will find this place as soon as possible."

My heart was filled with excitement and anticipation, as if I were seeing the dawn of justice.

I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to bring Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao to justice and give all the victims justice!

We drove through the night to the address the old man had provided. It was an abandoned factory on the edge of the city, utterly desolate. The night wind howled, swirling up fallen leaves and adding to the eeriness of the place.

Gu Yichen held my hand, feeling a warm strength emanating from my palm. "Don't be afraid, I'm here," he said softly, his tone firm.

The factory gate was already rusty and collapsed with a gentle push.

The air was thick with the smell of dampness and decay, and dust danced in the moonlight.

We cautiously entered the factory. It was spacious and dark, with only a few beams of moonlight shining through the broken roof, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

“Here…” I pointed to an open safe in the corner. It was empty except for a few scattered fragments of documents, telling the story of what had happened here.

My heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to my heart.

"We're too late," I murmured to myself, my voice bitter.

Gu Yichen pulled me into his arms, his chin resting on the top of my head. I could feel the vibration in his chest, the same suppressed emotions.

"No, there must be other clues."

Just when we were about to give up hope, a dark figure leaped down from a great height and landed steadily in front of us.

He was wearing a hat and a mask, obscuring his face, but revealing only a pair of sharp eyes that gleamed with intelligence.

He took a file folder out of his pocket and handed it to Gu Yichen.

"What you're looking for is here: evidence of Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao's crimes."

After he finished speaking, before we could react, he turned and disappeared into the darkness, just as silently as he had appeared, as if he were merely a ghost in the night.

Gu Yichen quickly opened the file bag, which contained documents and photos that clearly recorded Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao's criminal acts over the years.

My heart began to pound again, like a flame of hope igniting in the darkness. Who was helping us in secret?
