Shen Yi comforted Ye Wanwan for a quite a while before he took her downstairs for breakfast.
At breakfast, noticing Ye Wanwan was still somewhat emotionally unsettled, Shen Yi brought up the matter of He Qingyun, "He Qingyun was arrested last night."
"What happened to her?" Ye Wanwan looked up, a puzzled expression on her face as she stared at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi told the truth, "Qin Yanbo is dead."
"She!" For a moment, Ye Wanwan didn’t know what to say.
The area was clear of any servants walking back and forth, so Shen Yi lowered his voice to explain, "Ye Shiying wasn’t reborn; she was hypnotized by Ren Yushi, which made her believe that she was inevitably going to be killed by Qin Yansen. So she decided to strike first and dealt with Qin Yansen."
"Also, it’s because Ren Yushi suggested to Ye Shiying that it was because you didn’t help her, that she was ultimately killed by Qin Yansen, you’re also an accomplice. She wanted to kill you for revenge, hence Ye Shiying detested you to the bone."
"Qin Yanbo got his hands on a video of Ren Yushi interacting with Ye Shiying. " Shen Yi paused slightly as he spoke, seeming somewhat helpless as he continued, "Initially, that video was used by He Qingyun to threaten Ren Yushi."
But fate plays tricks on people, who could have imagined, just as they were preparing to start a new life, that video disrupted all their plans completely.
"I don’t know the specifics, only that He Qingyun killed someone, and the police took her away last night. She took all the blame onto herself, even stating that Ren Yushi was coerced by her."
"Then her..." Ye Wanwan didn’t know how to describe what she was feeling at that moment.
"She won’t be coming out. As for Ren Yushi, he’s still lying in the hospital. What happens next will depend on how the police handle it," Shen Yi felt a tinge of regret.
He had always been wary of He Qingyun and Ren Yushi. Even if they really did plan to make a fresh start, he remained cautious, fearing He Qingyun might suddenly go mad and do something to Ye Wanwan again.
Just, he didn’t expect it to end now.
He Qingyun sat face to face with Ren Yushi. Neither spoke, but Ren Yushi’s eyes were reddened, tears falling heavily.
After a long silence, He Qingyun suddenly spoke, "About the ’sunlight over Jin Mountain’ you mentioned, could you go see it for me?"
Ren Yushi didn’t respond. He Qingyun just kept quietly watching him until he nodded in agreement.
He Qingyun smiled, her voice light as she said, "You’ve told me about so many delicacies, so many beautiful sights. I hope you can taste and see them all for me."
Ren Yushi couldn’t even speak through his tears, just kept nodding his head repeatedly.
A prison guard came over to remind them that time was up. He Qingyun stood up, looked at Ren Yushi, and her eyes finally reddened as she softly said, "I’m sorry."
Then He Qingyun turned around and followed the prison guard away.
Ren Yushi shouted from behind, "Ayun! Ayun!"
He Qingyun heard him, but she didn’t look back because she knew she had no chance of turning back anymore.
She had once hoped that upon death, she would completely disappear, never to have another life. She didn’t want to live through another life, good or bad, ever again.
But now, she regretted it. If there was another chance to do it over, in the next life, she would still come to this world. Perhaps, if she were lucky, she would meet Ren Yushi again.
