Blood was everywhere in the house, including the pants of the gangsters.
Without the source of evil, even if they wanted to commit crimes in the future, they would not have the ability to do so. However, what followed would be their true retribution.
Upon seeing the car drive away, Ling Sheng asked Jun Shiyan, “Do you think she can get over her trauma?”
Jun Shiyan nodded and comforted her in a low voice. “She will.”
Ling Sheng leaned against the backseat and watched the car disappear before her eyes. She muttered, “I hope she’ll be well in the future.”

On the last day of filming, they were only finished at midnight. The film crew used a searchlight and took a group photo on the mountain to celebrate the ending of the filming process.
As soon as Lu Xianzhi left, he was dragged into the forest behind the dressing room by Ling Sheng. She smiled coldly at him. “Do you know who did this?”
Lu Xianzhi frowned and said in a cold voice, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“I’m talking about Xiaxia.” Ling Sheng noticed the change in his expressionless face and could clearly sense the guilt in his eyes. “Was it that old woman called Zhao Hong?”
Lu Xianzhi said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Ling Sheng, we are a man and a woman alone. Aren’t you afraid of the rumors?”
“Really?” After saying that, Ling Sheng turned around to leave. As she walked, she said, “Then I’ll go and question her face to face. She seems to be a female boss of the underworld. A person like her wouldn’t deny it if she did something bad, right?”
“Ling Sheng!” Lu Xianzhi was finally angry. He pulled her back and said, “Don’t mess around. This has nothing to do with you. I’ll handle it.”
“What do you intend to do?” Ling Sheng flung his hand away in disdain as though he was trash and looked at him mockingly.
“She didn’t touch Xiaxia because of you.” Lu Xianzhi looked at the girl in front of him. Under the moonlight, her face was covered in makeup. Although her skin was dark yellow, she looked domineering.
“Really?” Ling Sheng was skeptical.
“Yes.” Lu Xianzhi nodded seriously and told her everything he could, making her believe that Xiaxia’s accident had had nothing to do with her.
When he spoke, his words were clear and logical, making it easy for others to believe him. In the end, he looked at her and said, “You know everything now. Give me three months, and I’ll take perfect care of everything. This is my feud with Zhao Hong. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t interfere.”
“I understand. My condolences to you regarding Auntie and Uncle.” Ling Sheng’s voice was low as she comforted him and patted his arm before turning to leave.
Lu Xianzhi looked at her departing figure and did not know if he should feel glad or sad. She had grown up, become strong and sensible, and had her own thoughts, but she could not go back to the past.
However, it was good that she believed him. Xiaxia’s incident had started because of him. He did not want her to blame herself for this.
“Sheng Sheng, take that car.” Director Yi Jinrong saw her coming out and pointed at a white RV ahead.
Ling Sheng’s heart was in chaos. After hearing what Lu Xianzhi had told her, her mind was a mess, and she needed to sort out which of his words were real or fake.
When she opened the car door, she saw a handsome man sitting leisurely in the car and making tea. She was dumbfounded. “Mr… Mr. Jiang.”
