I drove to Li Mingyue's luxurious apartment in the city center.
The night enveloped the city, neon lights flickering like the complex emotions swirling within me at that moment.
Taking a deep breath, I pressed the doorbell.
Li Mingyue opened the door, and upon seeing me, a flicker of panic crossed her eyes.
I caught that hint of panic with keen perception.
"Xue'er, what brings you here so late?" she feigned calmness, but the Bullet Screen above her head was spinning wildly: "How did she find this place? Does she know something?"
Her inner turmoil was laid bare before me.
Guilt, fear, and a myriad of emotions intertwined.
She was afraid of my questioning, afraid of the truth being revealed.
"There are some things we need to discuss," I said coldly as I stepped into the apartment.
Li Mingyue closed the door and poured me a glass of water.
"Xue'er, you seem really busy lately; you haven't had time to contact me," she said with a hint of eagerness, while her Bullet Screen calculated ways to escape: "I must find a way to stall for time and contact Wei Zheng."
I took the glass, gently swirling it; the ripples mirrored the turmoil within me.
"Li Mingyue, do you really think I don't know anything?" I set down the glass, my tone suddenly sharp.
Her face turned pale in an instant, and the cup slipped from her hand, shattering on the floor with a crisp sound.
Shards scattered everywhere, just like her shattered facade at that moment.
"Xue'er, what are you talking about? I don't understand," she forced herself to remain composed, but her eyes betrayed her uncertainty.
I approached her step by step, and her inner world lay bare before me.
The admiration she once had for me, her loyalty to the family, had now been consumed by greed and fear.
"Shadow Alliance, Shen Yali, Chen Haoran, Li Mingyue! Did you think your actions were flawless?" I scoffed, throwing the documents in front of her.
She trembled as she picked up the papers, her face shifting from pale to green, then to red, and finally turning ashen.
She slumped onto the sofa like a defeated rooster.
"I... I..." She stammered, trying to defend herself but finding no excuses.
I dialed Li Qiushui's number and instructed her to call the police.
"Li Mingyue, you have betrayed the family, betrayed me. You will pay for your actions," I said coldly, without a hint of compassion.
She lifted her head, her eyes filled with despair and regret.
"Xue'er, I... I was wrong..." she choked out, attempting to grasp my hand.
I evaded her touch; her inner turmoil was crystal clear to me.
It wasn't remorse; it was merely regret at being caught by me.
The police arrived quickly and took her away.
I stood at the apartment door, watching the police car speed off, feeling an emptiness within.
The revenge was over, yet I felt no joy whatsoever.
Instead, a profound sense of exhaustion washed over me.
The truth behind the family's downfall and the real reason for Li Mingyue's betrayal surfaced with her capture.
It turned out that her actions were not driven by greed, but rather to protect another secret of the family.
A secret powerful enough to overturn the entire clan.
This secret had burdened her with immense pressure, ultimately leading her down the wrong path.
I gently touched the earring, my heart filled with mixed emotions.
The flames of hatred gradually extinguished, replaced by an inexplicable sadness.
I suddenly realized that revenge could not fill the void within me.
I needed to find a new direction, a new goal.
Li Mingyue was taken away, and the door of the apartment slowly closed.
I turned and walked away, disappearing into the night.
My path of vengeance had come to an end.
