My words made everyone in the room fall silent.

Even Zhao Yexue's crying had stopped.

The police officer who sought to handcuff me was also abruptly halted, "What evidence?"

Firstly, I took out my phone and opened up my social circle, which I had updated at night.

Evidently, there were two photos.

One was taken of my desk, quite dark, but you could clearly see the electronic clock time on my desk.

The other was a profile shot of my husband.

The captions read: "Working overtime with my husband. Indeed, serious men are the most handsome."

Both images carried a timestamp that shows the precise seconds.

However, this was a rarely used personal account, Zhao Sen rarely follows this account, so naturally, he didn't notice these posts.

Underneath, however, there were quite a few praises commenting on our good relationship.

Now, looking back, it's full of irony.

"This... one photo can't prove anything, and I really didn't see you."

Zhao Sen was still stubborn.

He never expected that I would take these photos, let alone post them on the social circle.

The police looked at him with a certain degree of hostility.

"I saw in the surveillance that the person my sister hit! Perhaps she deliberately ran back and secretly took the photos!"

Li Zhen stepped up to defend.

He spoke with a conviction as if he had seen me personally attacking the child.

Seeing such a determined Li Zhen, I felt a pang in my heart. It seems like all the years of nurturing him were wasted.

He pulled out his mobile phone as he spoke. In it was a video; a scene of me dressed in my pajamas, holding an ashtray and viciously smashing it onto the child´s body.

It was a black and white surveillance recording that wasn't very clear, but it was still possible to recognize me.

The police furrowed their eyebrows.

They had not anticipated that the situation could get this tricky.

When Zhao Sen saw the video, he couldn't take it anymore. He charged at me like he was ready to punch me. As if he wanted to tear me to pieces!

If not for the police stopping him, I could have been injured, maybe he would have even stabbed me to death!

The police gave him a stern look: "Keep it together. Nothing's set in stone yet! Do you intend to miss out on being there when your son wakes up?"

It must be said that the ways of these experienced guys are effective.

Just a single sentence, and Zhao Sen shut his mouth.

"Officer, the video evidence is right here, shouldn't you take her back for further investigation?"

Lin Shen clenched his teeth, as if filled with hatred towards me.

And I, taking a deep breath, said, "I also have a surveillance clip. Why not let the police check it and then figure out which video is fabricated?"

They really racked their brains to scheme against me!

But they probably forgot, I was the one who had this house set up, including the installing of the surveillance.

Of course, I was the first one to receive the video clip.

Before, I certainly would not care, but it's different now!

After going through the turbulence in my past life, I had saved the video of Zhao YeXue hitting someone on my way home.

As for what actually happened, that needs to be verified by the police.

All I did, was to turn evidence in their favor into uncertain evidence.

"Impossible! How could you have..."

Zhao YeXue looked disbelieving, covering her mouth, and even took a couple of steps back pretending to be shocked.

"Are you surprised that I have this video, or that I could defend myself?"

I sneered and grinned, "Zhao YeXue, tell me, why would you frame me? I wasn't bad to you, was I? So why are you doing this to me?"

"What are you talking about? I didn't wrong you! It's you who wronged me! After injuring someone, do you still want to shift all the blame onto me?"

Startled, Zhao Yexue quickly shakes her head.

She's naturally innocent-looking, that if she reddens her eyes, people unconsciously feel sorry for her, willing to stand up for her.

This kind of tactic, being used too often, has become a habit she can't change now.

"Li Qingyu, I really didn't expect that you would try to force Yexue to take blame for your actions!"

Li Zhen is defending Zhao Yexue, his gaze full of disgust towards me.

I genuinely do not understand, "Haven't I been good enough to you? Why are you now siding with an outsider to frame me?"

I've always been puzzled by what I did to arouse such hatred from my own brother.

"Stop quibbling right here, you're the culprit! Stop thinking about wiggling your way out!”

Lin Shen glared at me furiously. I took a deep breath, "Actually, the police only need to check the company's surveillance to know whether I was working or not."

I stared back at Lin Shen, but he didn't falter, instead, he was even more enraged: "Li Qingyu, you're really cunning!

You knew the surveillance of the entire building has been under repair these past two days, yet you proposed to examine the surveillance?"

That's right, they already knew about the issue with the building's surveillance system, and this is why they planned to catch me off guard at this point.

That's why they set me up.

I didn't understand before, but now I do, I finally understand why it had to be today.

"Even without this troublesome child, there would be other unpredictable occurrences.

It's just unfortunate that this kid was the one who had to take the fall - they needed a scapegoat after all!

"Yes, I knew about the company's broken surveillance system. Didn't you? So it's possible that you might falsely accuse me, isn't it?"

After I finished speaking, Lin Shen immediately countered, "I'm your husband, why would I do such a thing to you?"

"So you do acknowledge that you're my husband, huh?

Sadly, I've already discovered many things you thought I was oblivious to."

I said calmly.

However, seeing my determination, Lin Shen also started to panic, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nonsense? You feel tired of being with me, don't you? Because I am always full of suspicions, constantly doubting whether you're involved with other women, right?"

Indeed, my mental state was somewhat fragile, and I often couldn't help but make wild guesses.

But I had been trying my best to control my thoughts.

It was just that I couldn't help myself from questioning whenever I smelled a hint of perfume on Lin Shen.

But he angrily said I was being suspicious, thinking I was just being paranoid.

What he didn't know was that I indeed had suspicions, and I had even placed a small bear with eyes that are actually cameras on the TV cabinet.

At first, I would check it often, but later on, due to being busy and not finding anything suspicious before, I paid it no mind.

But this time, when I watched, I truly saw something different.

I played the colored video.

In the video, a man and a woman were kissing passionately.

They started from entering the room door, then ended up entangled on the bed.

It could be described as lively and fragrant!

This sound came out from my mobile phone.

The color of Lin Shen's face had become unusually awful.

He never thought that I would actually have such evidence in my hands, even the police couldn't bear to look.

They absolutely didn't expect that I could have such evidence.

"This voice... why does it sound so familiar?"

Li Heng was the first one to react. He rushed over, took a detailed look, and discovered that one of the blinding figures was actually Zhao Yexue!

The color of Zhao Yexue's face also turned exceedingly pale at that moment: "It's not what you think! I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Zhen slapped her: "Didn't you say the person you liked was me? Why are you with him?"

He was filled with rage.

The next second, another video clip played.

The female lead remains to be Zhao Yexue, but the male lead has been replaced by Li Zhen.

They were passionately moving about on the bed that was supposed to belong to me and Lin Shen.

The scenario was simply explosive.

"You! You guys actually... on my bed..."

Lin Shen didn’t expect Zhao Yexue to be so audacious, playing coy with him while also getting cozy with Li Zhen.

The irony was, they were still clueless about it!

"I..."

Gritting her teeth, Zhao Yexue shot me a spiteful glare. She had never dreamt that I would possess such a video.

She thought I was crazy. Who in their right mind would install a camera in their own room?

"Indeed, I'm a fickle-hearted person, but there's no chance between you and me. You're already married, right? So what's wrong if I pursue my own happiness?

You want to blame someone? Blame me! It’s me who couldn’t resist my feelings!"

Zhao Yexue began to sob.

The police officers were dumbfounded.

This was the first time they encountered something like this; their moral compass was shattered into pieces.

However, this was a matter of morality and didn’t encroach upon the law, which meant there was no necessity for them to intervene.

Seeing Zhao Yexue in tears, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.

He carefully wiped the tears from Zhao Yexue's face, "Stop crying. Regardless of your past, from now on, can we be together?"

His sincerity was heartfelt—how could Zhao Yexue say no?

Lin Shen gritted his teeth, swallowing the resentment. He had more important things to do.

"Do you really think this matter ends here?"

I smirked maliciously.

These people wanted to put an end to this? No chance!

They were not yet where they were supposed to be. How could I stand by and watch them put on an earth-shattering love performance here?

"What else do you want to do? Are you really going to force me into confessing something?"

Zhao Yexue's face was filled with sadness. Any stranger would think I was bullying her!

I shook my head, "You are not confessing to me, but you need to take responsibility for what you've done!"

Having said that, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a voice recorder.

It was something I took when I left the office.

I turned it on the moment I left.

I wanted to give the impression that it had inadvertently switched on.

"Husband, I've finished my work. Ye Xue is at home, and so is the neighbor's child. She asked me to bring a piece of cake home!"

"Well, you better go back first. I still have some unfinished tasks."

The conversation I had upon leaving the office made Lin Shen's face turn extremely gloomy.

His astonished eyes betrayed the depth of his surprise and disbelief.

He never thought I would have recorded it.

The following is the sound of me heading back home, even including me hailing a cab and chatting with the taxi driver.

When I arrived home, I even recorded the conversation between me and Zhao Ye Xue.

Her trembling voice as she described the scene of the murder!

Zhao Ye Xue's face was particularly ugly.

She didn't expect me to carry such a thing, as if I had prepared it in advance.

"I didn't think I would bring a tape recorder home either, nor did I imagine that it would end up proving my innocence."

I said, in fact, the tape recorder only stopped recording after the police arrived.

That also proves that it could not have been tampered with.

"Now, do any of you have anything to say?"

The police officer directly handcuffed Zhao Ye Xue. Two other officers also separately handcuffed Lin Shen and Li Zhen.

"Whether your sin is grave or light, we need to wait for the child's final outcome."

The situation is now very clear.

These three people cannot get away.

My gaze falls on Li Zhen, "Li Zhen, tell me, haven't I treated you well? Why would you treat me like this?"

"Treated me well? My parents are long gone. Every time, you tell me to study well, binding me with morality as if it's a big mistake not to study.

Do you know how many times I've been laughed at when you pick me up at the entrance of my school, dressed in tattered clothes?"

His eyes were filled with resentment, and I was somewhat surprised to look at him, "Just because of this? The reason why I'm dressed in tattered clothes is that I'm working on a construction site, right?

Two bricks cost one penny, do you know how long I have to work to afford your education?"

I just feel extremely pained.

If it weren't for the later policy assistance, I wouldn't have had the privilege of studying, let alone working in an office today.

But I didn't expect that Li Zhen would hate me so much over such a trivial matter!

"Of course it's not just that!"

He stared at me unblinkingly, his resentful eyes almost solidifying, "Why, after earning so much money, you wouldn't even buy me a house?

Didn't you say you would treat me well? Why won't you even buy me a house when I want to get married?"

"Don't you work? You can't expect to rely on me for a lifetime, right?"

"I'm also very angry.

Li Zhen really has accustomed himself to sucking blood from me. Even at this point, he sabotages me just because I didn't fulfill his desires.

I find this really terrifying.

This is the younger brother I've taken care of for more than twenty years!

"So you were in cahoots with them for the sake of the lottery, attacking me?”

I chuckle coldly. The expressions of the formerly calm trio change again!

They never expected me to say something like this.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What lottery? I don't know anything about it!"

Lin Shen reacts strongly, obviously displaying his guilt.

It’s just like when I asked him whether he’s been cheating with other women.

Angry out of embarrassment, I guess that’s the case?

"Don't know? I bought a lottery ticket previously and unexpectedly hit the jackpot, you all knew about it, right? I was even planning what to do with the money.

Never would have thought that this lottery ticket would become my death warrant!"

I only recalled about it after I saw the notification of the deposit on my phone.

After all, I've already had one brush with death.

Besides the brush with death this time, for a while, I completely forgot about winning the lottery.

So, I really had no clue about the motives of these people.

But the moment the text message popped up, I knew what was really going on.

I bought the lottery on a whim and won thirty million.

With this thirty million, money we wouldn't make in a lifetime, I planned to give a portion to Li Zhen for a house, get a new one for myself and enjoy life for a change.

I could save the rest for a rainy day.

But as the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed, and I was well aware of that.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yexue got involved with Lin Shen. They wanted that sum of money to live a lavish lifestyle, and Zhao Yexue, while having an affair with Li Zhen, decided to use the money to keep things afloat.

The money became a binding tie for their collaboration.

They waited to trap me, even hoping the neighbor with anger issues would stab me to death.

By that time, they would be able to live comfortably off my money.

Last time, they indeed caught me off guard and I fell into the trap they set, unable to break free.

But now that I've had a second chance at life, I naturally won't give them any opportunity to set me up.

I even deliberately sought out the security guard at the company when I left.

If the voice recorder backfires, there will still be a living witness to vouch for my innocence.

However, before that was put to use, they had already fixed themselves in a hole they couldn't get out of.

The police took the three of them away, and I quickly left the hospital.

Zhao Sen has a violent temper, and I've already been on the receiving end of it; I'm not so foolish as to stick around here and become his punching bag.

The best choice was to leave.

After returning, I packed all my belongings, including the large sum of money I had won in the lottery, and departed.

I will not continue to live in this house.

Because Li Zhen and Lin Shen only perjured themselves, and didn’t actually take part in the violence, their sentences weren’t heavy — they only got a month behind bars, and were then released.

And I was preparing to leave after my last day of work.

I just finished work, and bumped into the two of them.

Those two were waiting for me.

Lin Shen and Li Zhen knelt before me, apologising: "Wifey, I know my wrongs!"

"Yeah! Sis, I was wrong too!"

They wore such solemn faces, I couldn’t help but feel sarcasm: "Do you two think of me as a garbage bin? Ready to dump all sorts of trash on me?"

Lin Shen frowned, and Li Zhen instantly stood up: "Li Qingyu! Don’t be so ungrateful! We've already admitted our wrongs, what more do you want?”

"What more do I want? You both were ready to let me take the fall, and I should forgive you? Are you taking me for a fool?"

I rolled my eyes.

These two people are indeed ridiculous.

Do I look like such a fool?

Lin Shen lowered his face and slowly stood up, "Li Qingyu, do you think you are faultless?

If it wasn't for your suspicion and distrust, why would I have an affair? If you hadn't been pushing Li Zhen all the time, why would he hate you so much? Don't you think you're blameless?"

"You two are indeed worthy of being brothers-in-law! Two peas in a pod, hatching from the same bedsheet – that's quite unusual!"

I rolled my eyes again. My words rendered them both embarrassed and indignant.

Li Zhen has always liked hanging out with the young hooligans, developed a whole heap of bad habits, but he used to listen to me.

But now he hates me to his bones, not to mention that today, all he wanted was to coax money out of me.

Otherwise, would these two men ever kneel down to me?

Of course, I understand their true nature!

Lin Shen then looked towards Li Zhen, "Don't let her provoke you! We must stick together!"

He lowered his voice. I read his lips and found it utterly laughable.

This is my husband, my spouse of eight years.

And he called me an outsider.

"Sis, I know you're really angry but we're still family! Could you give us one more chance?"

Sure enough, Li Zhen changed his mind. I snorted, "Isn't it just money that you guys are after?"

Seeing the glimmer in both their eyes, I smirked, "Rest assured, I've already signed my will. All my money will be donated once I pass away.

So, there's absolutely no way you guys can ever touch that money!

You can only blame yourselves for trying to get rid of me, for attempting such a despicable plot against me."

Once I finished speaking, Li Zhen and Lin Shen completely lost control. Li Zhen even whipped out a fruit knife, apparently intending to stab me.

But the very next moment, they were stopped by a group of black-suited bodyguards.

They were then held down and given a good beating.

I quietly stood at the side and watched, "I knew you guys wouldn't give up, that's why I hired professional bodyguards early on.

If you want to lay hands on me, first see if you're strong enough!"

With that said, I confidently left with my bodyguards.

Li Zhen and Lin Shen were left lying on the ground.

In the future, I want to live a life for myself.

As for the divorce, I have a lawyer helping me with it. This is a top lawyer I picked out to make sure Lin Shen leaves with nothing.

However, even before the lawsuit began, the funeral parlor gave me a call.

Turns out that the day I left, Lin Shen and Li Zhen started to blame each other, reminiscing about their absurd affairs with Zhao Yexue. They even ended up in a fight!

According to Li Zhen's confession, he was choked by Lin Shen, and in a frantic state, stabbed him to death with a fruit knife.

Li Zhen got arrested and locked up as well.

I claimed Lin Shen's body. There wasn't even a funeral, I simply scattered his ashes into the sea to at least give him some form of farewell.

Li Zhen wanted me to write a letter of forgiveness, which I outright refused.

I couldn't help but laugh at his furious countenance: "Spend the second half of your life in prison! I will never, never forgive you!"

I couldn't possibly grant forgiveness in the first place. By killing Lin Shen, he only added fuel to my resentment toward him!

As for the neighbor's child, he survived but ended up mentally impaired.

Zhao Yexue was sentenced to eight years.

Rumor has it that upon her release, she was brutally stabbed to death by Zhao Sen.

Over thirty stabs, her tragic end even made the headlines and became viral news.

But that's all water under the bridge now.

Currently, I'm on a plane heading towards a warm city where I've opened a bed and breakfast.

Here I am, basking in the sunshine, flowers, and freedom.

The end.
