During this period, Sheng Jingxi had watched almost all of Jiang Li's performances, including her most classic one, *The Draft*.
Every time she performed this show, Jiang Li would shed real tears.
That sense of unrequited love always touched the deepest fragility and regret in people's hearts.
After Jiang Li finished today's performance, Sheng Jingxi was sitting on the backstage lounge chair, propping his head up with one hand and crossing his legs. He was waiting there boredly.
Sheng Jingxi had inherited his father's handsome and upright features and his mother's gentle and delicate ones. With such genes, he was undoubtedly handsome.
The only flaw was that he talked a bit too much.
"If it doesn't end soon, I'm going to fall asleep here." When Sheng Jingxi saw her come out after the curtain call, he got up from the chair and stylishly tidied his hair with his hand. "Shall we go? Bro will take you for a ride."
Jiang Li knew he had something up his sleeve.
He had been showing up repeatedly under the pretext of watching her plays for about a week.
Considering Sheng Jingxi's passion for his race - car, it was really a test for him to hold back until now before hinting at what he wanted.
But the more she could guess his intention, the less likely she was to go along with him. "I'm going to the police station today."
Hearing this, Sheng Jingxi's expression visibly drooped, but he still nodded helplessly. "Okay, then bro will go with you."
Jiang Li said he didn't need to follow, but he said he had nothing better to do anyway.
It had been a month since Jiang Li's incident. The police station had told her to focus on her health first and come to testify at the end of the month.
It was easier than Jiang Li had expected.
Originally, Shang Zewen had managed to pull some strings, but Sheng Shuocheng had gone head - to - head with him. First, he had collected video evidence of Shang Zewen bribing the taxi driver; then he had provided the police with every detail of Shang Zewen's actions, from stalking Jiang Li to actually attacking her.
In the face of the facts, even if Shang Zewen had great influence, he had no choice but to plead guilty now.
In Huacheng, the one with real power was Sheng Shuocheng.
When Jiang Li arrived at the police station, as expected, she saw Xiao Yanzhi. He was dressed in a noble way, and his black overcoat was particularly solemn and refined. His expression was as cold and aloof as usual, but there was a bit of fatigue between his eyebrows.
Besides him, there was a woman beside him, Yu Wan.
Jiang Li unconsciously tightened her hands.
As if sensing Jiang Li's gaze, Xiao Yanzhi slightly raised his eyes, but he only nodded at her as if greeting her, and then quickly shifted his eyes away.
Seemed like they were just two people who knew each other but weren't close.
Not close? They had once had the most intimate relationship.
Close? They didn't even have a glance exchange.
He walked past her, and a faint smell of cedar perfume wafted past her nostrils.
She almost couldn't hold back her tears.
People have memory points for scents. A familiar smell can pull a person into a particular memory.
This was the perfume she had given him. He had once said he was tired of it; but now she smelled it on him again.
It was like a wisp of smoke, disappearing quickly, almost in the blink of an eye.
She was stunned, lowered her eyes to adjust her emotions, and when she looked up again, her eyes were clear.
"Miss Jiang." Yu Wan walked over. Her face was obviously more haggard, her eyes were dull and empty, and her lips were pale. She looked like she had suffered a great blow.
"Congratulations, you won. It turns out he has only loved one person."
Yu Wan left this cryptic remark and followed Xiao Yanzhi into the interrogation room with her head down.
Inside the room, handcuffed and sitting on a chair, was Shang Zewen.
"Hi, honey." The moment Shang Zewen saw Yu Wan, he whistled. "I'm so glad to see you again."
Yu Wan's body trembled twice.
It was an instinctive reaction, almost completely out of her control.
Years of being bullied, insulted, and hurt had made her instinctively fear and feel pressured when she saw Shang Zewen.
"Relax, baby." Seeing her reaction, he was very pleased. "Xiao, I'm really sorry. Is your wound healed?"
He was like a madman, laughing wildly and wantonly. "I've studied the human body. My knife was supposed to be very precise. Sure enough, you Chinese people are just lucky."
Facing Shang Zewen's provocation, Xiao Yanzhi remained unmoved.
Today, he had brought Yu Wan here to plead guilty.
It was a fact that Shang Zewen would be jailed for his crimes, and as an accomplice, Yu Wan was naturally also to blame.
Before the interrogation, Xiao Yanzhi first presented Yu Wan's mental diagnosis report. The examination results showed that she had extremely severe mental disorders caused by external blows.
This was like adding another crime to Shang Zewen's list.
"Come on!"
Shang Zewen said unhappily, "Xiao, we've been friends for so long. You shouldn't be so pushy." He paused and then laughed. "Besides, if it weren't for her help, how could I have caught your little rose?"
"She provided information about Jiang Li and also gave me intelligence about you, so that I could attack Jiang Li when you were away."
Yu Wan clenched her fists and stared at Shang Zewen with blood - red eyes. "Shut up! You damned, crazy, perverted devil!"
"That's a wonderful compliment, baby." Shang Zewen licked his lips blood - thirstily. "Besides, aren't you my most perfect work of art?"
"Don't you remember? We danced together on countless nights. Every inch of your skin, your most precious and beautiful..."
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Yu Wan hugged her head and squatted on the ground, screaming and howling continuously. Her mental state was on the verge of collapse. "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
She rushed over to strangle Shang Zewen's neck. The latter's face immediately turned purple and hideous. The police quickly separated the two of them.
Gasping for air, Shang Zewen coughed twice and still sneered, "Baby, even if you kill me, you'll always be the most obedient dog I've ever raised."
"You should go to hell!" Yu Wan's lips were trembling. She had lost control of her emotions, and her voice was shrill. "I admit everything I've done, but you must go to hell!"
Shang Zewen smiled. "It'll be me and you going to hell together."
Yu Wan couldn't control herself and rushed up to fight with him again. When they were separated again, her face was full of tears. She was crying and laughing, shouting for him to die.
...
Standing outside the transparent glass, Jiang Li watched all this with her lips tightly pursed, looking at the scene in disbelief.
It turned out that Yu Wan and Shang Zewen were in the same group.
When Xiao Yanzhi sensed something was wrong, he had immediately flown to Huacheng and done his best to save her.
Now he had brought Yu Wan here to make those who had hurt her receive their due punishment.
He had done everything he could for her.
