Chapter 11
Gu Yan's investigation was faster and more efficient than I had imagined.
He was really helping me.
Could it be that he truly believed I was innocent?
I found it hard to believe.
After all, genuine feelings are rare in this circle.
He first located the hotel surveillance footage.
I nervously stared at the screen, my palms sweating.
The video clearly showed that I entered the room alone that night, with no one accompanying me.
This was undoubtedly important evidence.
At the very least, it proved that the so-called videos were fabricated.
My heart settled a little.
Next, Gu Yan found a photo of the watch that Su Man's assistant often wore.
He enlarged the photo and pointed to the watch on the man's wrist, saying, "Look, this watch is the same model as Su Man's assistant's."
I examined it closely and confirmed that it was indeed identical.
This was undoubtedly a huge breakthrough.
My breathing quickened.
Su Man and Shen Hao had actually teamed up to frame me!
A chilling wave coursed through me.
Why are they doing this?
What have I done to offend them?
My mind was in chaos.
I struggled to calm myself down.
I had to get to the bottom of the truth.
Gu Yan continued his investigation and discovered that the man in the photo was actually a small-time actor.
"His name is Li Qiang," Gu Yan said, "hired by Shen Hao."
A wave of nausea washed over me.
Shen Hao actually resorted to such despicable means to frame me.
And those so-called videos were also edited and manipulated.
"They used AI face-swapping technology to put my face in the videos," I murmured, "what a calculated scheme!"
The truth finally surfaced.
I let out a long sigh of relief, the heavy stone that had been pressing on my heart finally lifted.
I could finally prove my innocence.
I felt a surge of strength coursing through me.
I would make those who framed me pay the price!
Gu Yan organized all the evidence and prepared to report it to the police.
Just then, Shen Hao and Su Man suddenly held a press conference.
As I watched their hypocritical performance on the television screen, my heart was filled with anger and disgust.
They accused me with tears and anger, claiming that I maliciously slandered them, spread rumors, and damaged their reputation.
They even presented some so-called "evidence," attempting to prove that my innocence was fabricated.
I could hardly believe my eyes.
How could they do this?
How could they turn black into white and confuse right and wrong?
My hands clenched into fists, my nails digging deep into my flesh.
I had to fight back!
I couldn't let them get away with this!
I picked up my phone and dialed Gu Yan's number.
"Gu Yan," my voice trembled, "we can't just sit back and do nothing. We must retaliate!"
"I know," Gu Yan replied calmly and steadily, "I'm already prepared."
His words brought me immense comfort.
I knew I wasn't fighting alone.
Gu Yan submitted all the evidence to the police and contacted several media outlets to expose Shen Hao and Su Man's conspiracy to the public.
The public was in an uproar.
Those who had previously attacked and insulted me turned their backs, beginning to condemn Shen Hao and Su Man's despicable actions.
Finally, my name was cleared from the mud.
I stood by the window, watching the sun rise outside, filled with hope and strength in my heart.
I knew that my future would surely be brighter.
I can finally start anew.
Shen Hao and Su Man, their schemes exposed, have lost all credibility.
They are in a panic, hiding everywhere, trying to escape the grasp of the law.
But the law is relentless and does not miss a thing.
In the end, they were arrested by the police.
What awaits them is the severe punishment of the law.
As I watched the news report, there was not a shred of satisfaction in my heart.
All I felt was an endless fatigue and emptiness.
This turmoil has drained me both physically and mentally.
I have finally come to understand that in this circle, to survive, one must become stronger.
I took a deep breath and gazed into the distance.
I know my journey is still long.
I must work harder to protect myself and to realize my dreams.
(The End)
