“Linghua, are you okay? I never expected him to be this kind of person,” Hu Lan gently patted my shoulder.
During this time, I had grown closer to Hu Lan, as she was also a woman deceived by Shangguan Ming, losing both her money and her heart.
I turned to her and forced a smile. “I’m fine.”
Tears shimmered in Hu Lan’s eyes. “I’m really proud of you. You’re so much braver than I am.”
I took her hand. “Everyone has their own choices. You chose to forgive, while I chose to let him go, but we are both trying to start anew.”
Back home, I stood by the window, gazing into the distance. Suddenly, my phone rang; it was Jiang Feng.
“Linghua, are you okay?” His voice was filled with concern.
“I’m fine, Jiang Feng. Thank you for all your help.”
“Linghua, actually I…” Jiang Feng hesitated.
I sighed softly. “Jiang Feng, I know how you feel. But… I need time right now.”
“I understand,” Jiang Feng’s voice sounded a bit dejected, but he quickly regained his composure. “No matter what, I’ll always be by your side.”
After hanging up, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. The once naive and carefree Zhu Linghua was gone, replaced by a strong and independent woman.
I traced the silver chain on my wrist, waves of emotion washing over me.
Jiang Feng is great, but I feel like I don’t need love anymore.
Shangguan Ming’s deception and betrayal had truly hurt me deeply.
Outside the window, the dark clouds began to disperse, and a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds.
Just then, my phone suddenly vibrated. A text message from an unknown number sent chills down my spine: "Don't think this is over, Zhu Linghua."
The message on the screen felt like a heavy blow, extinguishing the flicker of hope that had just ignited within me.
"Don't think this is over" cut through me like a sharp knife, leaving a painful gash in my heart.
I forced myself to take deep breaths, trying to calm my racing heartbeat. At that moment, an urgent news report blared from the television.
"Shocking news! Businessman Shangguan Ming has escaped while on bail and fled to a neighboring country. The police are in hot pursuit..."
I widened my eyes, unable to believe what I was hearing.
My phone vibrated again; it was Jiang Feng.
"Linghua, did you see the news? Shangguan Ming has run away!"
My voice trembled, "I just saw it."
"Where are you right now? I'm coming over immediately."
"No need, Jiang Feng. I... I need some time alone."
After hanging up, I slumped onto the sofa, my mind a chaotic mess.
How did Shangguan Ming manage to escape? Wouldn't he face consequences for fleeing abroad? Was there someone behind him?
Just as I was lost in thought, the doorbell rang.
I cautiously approached the door and peered through the peephole to see an unfamiliar middle-aged man standing outside.
"Excuse me, is this Ms. Zhu Linghua? I'm a police officer, and I need to ask you about some matters."
I hesitated for a moment but eventually opened the door.
"Ms. Zhu, we suspect that Shangguan Ming's escape abroad is related to you. Please come with us."
I was so surprised that I couldn't find my voice.
"This is impossible! Why would I help him escape?"
"We found transfer records from Shangguan Ming to you, and we suspect you assisted him in his getaway."
The police presented the transfer record of 200,000 from Shangguan Ming to me.
I was taken to the police station, facing a barrage of questioning.
"Zhu Linghua, admit it. You helped Shangguan Ming, didn't you?"
"I did not!" I shouted angrily. "Why would I help that fraud?"
"Your social media following has exceeded ten million. We suspect this entire farce was concocted by you two to attract attention!"
