Wen Li stayed at Huo Yuanchen's house for one morning and then left.

Huo Yuanchen asked her why she was in such a hurry to leave?

She said bluntly, "I can't swallow this. I can't be fooled in vain."

He glanced at her, wondering in his mind what the possibility was of her and Cheng Yang getting back together after she left.

Thinking about how decisively she dumped the man, there was nothing to worry about, so he let her go with peace of mind.

Wen Li went directly to the nearest shopping mall to buy a voice recorder.

The boss asked her what she bought it for, and she said it was to catch someone cheating.

The boss wanted to make more money, so he recommended a camera to her, saying, "The voice recorder can't see the picture, so you should buy this one. It has a recording function and high pixels, so you can get any evidence you want."

Wen Li glanced at the camera and said critically, "I've seen a camera before where the surveillance footage taken the next day would automatically overwrite the footage from the previous day. I don't know when I can capture useful evidence, and I can't keep staring at the surveillance footage. What if the evidence is overwritten? I'd better buy a recorder with a larger capacity so that I don't have to worry about the evidence being overwritten."

The boss said, "Who would use surveillance equipment that automatically overwrites the previous day's footage these days? The surveillance footage is stored for at least three days. Not many people buy this kind of equipment. Most of those who come to me to buy surveillance equipment require that it can be stored for more than a week."

Wen Li's eyes flickered, and he asked his boss, "No one is using the surveillance equipment that automatically overwrites the previous day's data now? What if someone is still using the very old model? The kind that doesn't have much storage space and will automatically overwrite at midnight the next day?"

The boss smiled and said , "I don't know if anyone else uses it, but it's possible that no one in Haishi uses it. Besides, surveillance equipment only costs a few hundred dollars, and it's not a big deal to replace it with a new model. There's no need to use equipment that has long been obsolete."

Wen Li nodded, "I understand. I still want a recorder, give me two."

Although the camera can capture the picture, it is too easy to be discovered if it is exposed outside.

She bought a recorder and called Cheng Yang when she walked out of the mall.

The other side picked up the phone immediately. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked her, "Sister, are you willing to forgive me?"

Wen Li heard the clear breathing sound from the other side, and it was obvious that she was worried. She lowered her eyes and said in a toneless voice, "Come out and see me."

The other side immediately said, "Okay, where is your sister? I'll go find you."

Wen Li looked around and said the name of a coffee shop.

Cheng Yang said excitedly, "I'll be there right away, sister, wait for me. I'll be there soon, don't be impatient, I'll be there soon."

I was afraid that Wen Li would change his mind again.

Wen Li said "hmm" lightly and hung up the phone.

She had looked at the map. It was a half-hour drive from Cheng Yang's home to the coffee shop. She ordered a cup of coffee and drank it slowly. Before the coffee had completely cooled down, Cheng Yang arrived.

Only fifteen minutes later, he arrived.

"elder sister."

Cheng Yang wanted to sit next to her, but her expression was too dull, and he was unsure, so he had to sit opposite her. When he sat down, he kept observing her expression, fearing that she would show the slightest dislike for him.

Wen Li had no expression on her face. When she saw him, she just raised her eyelids to take a look and said lightly, "You came quite quickly."

Cheng Yang said with a smile, "I want to see my sister sooner."

Wen Li didn't intend to beat around the bush with him, and said straight to the point, "I came to you because I want to know how you and Lin Ruoyuan originally planned to harm me? Of course, if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to tell me."

After she said this, Cheng Yang looked at her for a long time. Seeing that she had nothing else to say, he finally realized that she really didn't intend to forgive him.

He slumped in the chair somewhat dejectedly, not wanting her to see his darkest side, but he was also clearly aware that if he refused to say it, Wen Li would probably not stay for even a second longer.

"Sister." Cheng Yang looked a little aggrieved when he spoke. He really regretted it. "Are you really not going to consider giving me another chance?"

Wen Li pursed her lips and said nothing.

Cheng Yang closed his eyes and said in a desperate tone, "Lin Ruoyuan found me first and asked me to get close to you. She said that as long as I succeed in getting you into bed, she will help me gain a foothold in the Cheng family. Sister, I am obsessed. I am my father's illegitimate child. Even though my father brought me back to the Cheng family when I was young, I know that with my identity, it is impossible for me to inherit the Cheng family business. In the past two years, my eldest brother has gradually taken power, and I am too scared. I am afraid that I will be kicked out of the Cheng family. I am afraid that I will lose everything I have now. I don't want to sit and wait for death. I want to do something."

Wen Li listened quietly, then said coldly, "So, your way of protecting yourself is to harm me together with Lin Ruoyuan."

A trace of pain flashed across Cheng Yang's face, and he almost said in a hoarse voice, "Sister, I was wrong. I don't know why I was such a jerk at that time. As soon as Lin Ruoyuan promised me a benefit, I agreed. If I were to choose now, I would definitely not agree. I would rather be kicked out of the Cheng family than hurt my sister."

Wen Li took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked him, "Tell me, what does Lin Ruoyuan want you to do? I guess it's more than just asking you to sleep with me."

Cheng Yang bit his lips tightly and kept silent.

Wen Li said, "If you have nothing else to say, then let's stop here today and don't meet again in the future."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.

Cheng Yang became anxious and reached out to hold Wen Li's hand.

Wen Li firmly pulled his hand out of his palm with a resolute expression.

Cheng Yang pinched his palms, but they were empty, yet the temperature in his palms was still real.

He closed his eyes in despair and said, "Sister, don't go. I'll tell you everything."

Wen Li said "hmm" and sat back down.

Cheng Yang said with tears in his eyes, "Lin Ruoyuan asked me to get close to you. She wanted me to coax you into bed, and then take pictures of you and send them out. She said that once your reputation is ruined, no man will want you anymore, including Meng Jinnian. She said that only in this way will Meng Jinnian completely give up on you."

Wen Li knew that Lin Ruoyuan had ulterior motives in letting Cheng Yang get close to her, but no matter how much she guessed, she could not have imagined that Lin Ruoyuan would be so cruel.

Isn't this an attempt to force her to jump off the building?

She asked herself that she had never done anything to let Lin Ruoyuan down, and she and Meng Jinnian had made it clear that there would be no possibility of getting back together. Lin Ruoyuan was trying to drive her to death by doing this to her.

Wen Li wanted to grab a knife and rush over to settle accounts with Lin Ruoyuan. But reason told her that Lin Ruoyuan was not worthy of her spending the rest of her life in jail.

She sat in the chair, her chest heaving violently for a while before she barely suppressed her surging anger.

She took out the recorder she had just bought from her pocket and pushed it in front of Cheng Yang, "If you want to atone for your sins, do me a favor.

Cheng Yang was stunned and asked her, "Sister, what do you want to do?"
