Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

"Mom...Mom..." She finally burst into tears, raising her hands to grab her hair.

Lin Liwen was terrified by her appearance and quickly supported her, "Wuli? Don't scare me..."

She had never seen Su Wuli like this before. From the day she took her in, Su Wuli had always been well-behaved and obedient, not talkative, and able to endure hardship.

Therefore, Lin Liwen also likes her very much.

Su Wuli abruptly pushed her hand away, slid off the sofa, and knelt on the carpet.

His shoulders were shaking violently and uncontrollably.

"How dare they... how could they..." She looked up, her face covered in tears.

Her eyes were frighteningly red. "That's...that's my mom..."

She remembered how her mother would always stand on tiptoe and peer into the school gate every day while waiting for her.

And they did it all for a prank, to make her behave.

A casual phone call and a few words led the person who loved her most in the world to her death.

"I don't have a mother anymore..." Su Wuli cried out.

She was sobbing uncontrollably, repeating the same sentence over and over again.

"I don't have a mother anymore... I don't have a mother anymore..."

"Wuli, don't be like this..." Lin Liwen couldn't help but cry too.

I wanted to hug her, but I didn't dare to use force, so I could only pat her shoulder to comfort her.

Su Wuli finally couldn't hold back and threw herself into her arms, bursting into tears.

"I don't have a mother anymore... I miss her so much... but she never comes to see me... Is it because I killed her... that she... she doesn't want me anymore..."

"That's not how it is." Lin Liwen felt a pang of pain in her heart and comforted her in a hoarse voice, "How could a mother abandon her own daughter?"

"Then why didn't she take me with her back then? Why... did she abandon me?"

Su Wuli cried until she was almost suffocating, repeatedly murmuring to herself.

"Mom, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

"It's not your fault..." Lin Liwen gently stroked her head to comfort her, "Your mother will be very happy to see that you can live a good life."

"I don't want to..."

Su Wuli's tears flowed continuously, releasing all the pressure she had been under over the years.

"I don't want to live a normal life, I want her back... I want my mom... Mom, please come back..."

Lin Liwen hugged her and choked up instantly, unable to utter any words of comfort.

Su Wuli was crying so hard that her whole body was shaking, and she was clutching Li Liwen's clothes tightly with her hands.

Sobbing intermittently, she murmured, "That's my...my mom...Mom..."

She cried until she was completely exhausted and could barely kneel down; Li Liwen was the only one supporting her weight.

Li Liwen hugged her tightly, patting her back repeatedly with one hand.

Her voice choked with sobs, "Cry it out... it's good to cry it out... I'm here, I'm right here..."

She didn't know how long she cried, but Su Wuli's voice gradually subsided, turning into intermittent sobs.

She was still holding Li Liwen, her body still trembling.

After a long while, she slowly raised her head, her face streaked with tears and her eyes red and swollen.

She let go and wiped her face hard with the back of her hand.

"Sister Wen..." Su Wuli's voice was terribly hoarse, "I want to call the police."

Li Liwen nodded with tears in her eyes, "Okay, let's call the police, we'll call the police."

Su Wuli supported herself on Li Liwen's arm and tried to stand up, but her legs gave way and she fell back down.

I composed myself and walked to the table.

Pick up your phone, unlock it, find the lawyer's number, and dial it.

She spoke, her voice still hoarse, "I have direct evidence here, about my mother's car accident many years ago."

"It wasn't an accident; someone deliberately designed and created danger, leading to her death."

Su Wuli said, word by word, "I want to sue them for intentional injury resulting in death, and..."

He closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again. "Attempted murder."

He hung up the phone and turned around.

"Sister Wen," she whispered, "we're going to the police station."

"Okay." Lin Liwen took a deep breath and stood up.

After the lawyer arrived, he took the documents and began to review them with a serious expression.

"This evidence is crucial, but too much time has passed, making it difficult to obtain, especially regarding the van and the driver."

"There's a phone conversation in the video," Su Wuli said from the side, her voice still a little hoarse. "Can you find that number?"

"The records from back then might not still exist." The lawyer closed the folder. "But we can try. If the driver can be found and identify them, the case will be in the bag."

The car was quiet on the way to the police station.

Upon arriving at the police station, the lawyer quickly assisted in submitting the evidence.

"We need time to verify," the head of the criminal investigation team in charge said. "Where did these videos come from? Who is the person who filmed them?"

"It was an anonymous report," the lawyer replied. "But the authenticity of the video can be verified; we've already conducted a preliminary technical analysis."

The head of the criminal investigation team looked at Su Wuli, "Ms. Su, are you sure... you want to formally file a report, charging them with attempted murder and intentional injury resulting in death?"

Su Wuli's eyes were still red and swollen, but her gaze was firm. "I'm sure."

The criminal investigation team leader looked at her, then at the documents in his hand.

He nodded. "Okay, but we need the original documents. Also, regarding your injuries..."

"The hospital has records," Su Wuli said. "The scar is still there."

"A forensic examination may be necessary."

"Can."

The procedures took a long time, and it was almost midnight when I left the police station.

Back in the apartment, I washed up and lay down on the bed.

I didn't sleep well.

In her dream, light and shadow flickered, and when she could see clearly, she was already standing in an antique-style house.

The candlelight cast Yu Chen's shadow on the wall; he was bent over his desk writing something.

His profile was taut, giving him a cold and unapproachable look.

She stood there, her hands and feet a little cold.

The last breath I had been holding on in the police station suddenly vanished without me noticing.

Upon seeing him, my nose suddenly stung and my eyes welled up with tears.

All those images she dared not think about surged up, stuck in her throat, making her unable to utter a sound.

Only tears fell silently.

Su Wuli dared not make a sound.

Yu Chen seemed to notice something, paused with his pen, and looked up.

Eyes facing each other.

Su Wuli's reddened eyes were filled with tears, making them wet.

It was filled with grievances and sadness that couldn't be hidden.

Yu Chen's brows furrowed even more, and a fleeting, almost imperceptible, irritation flashed across his eyes.

"Crying again?" he asked calmly.

However, Su Wuli could detect the subtle displeasure in his voice.

As if pricked by something, she subconsciously shrank her shoulders.

My throat feels like it's stuffed with cotton, it's so uncomfortable.

She wanted to say no, to explain, to tell what happened today.

His lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Only tears, unable to hold back, gathered more and more, silently rolling down my cheeks.

My vision was blurred by tears, but I could vaguely see Yu Chen put down the calligraphy brush in his hand.

He leaned back in the wide chair and stared at her.

"Speak," he said, and the air inexplicably tensed up.
