Chapter 16

Inside the Police Station, Gu Weifeng was puzzled: “Where did you get the Gun? There’s no way we could have gotten approval for this…”

“From the crew. It’s a Prop Gun. Pretty realistic, right?”

“That’s way too dangerous. What if he saw through it? What if you couldn’t hold out until we arrived?”

I replied smugly, “How could that happen? My acting is Oscar-level.”

On that rainy night, I confronted Director Liu. Soon after, he was arrested by the swiftly arriving police, while Wen Yi tried to escape through the bathroom window, only to be caught on the spot.

The dark cloud that had hung over this town for twenty years finally drifted away.

The rain finally stopped.

Soon, the police held a press conference, announcing that the DNA of the suspect matched the evidence left on a corpse from twenty years ago.

The evidence was irrefutable.

“Actually, a lot of this evidence was rendered invalid back then due to poor storage. My Master insisted on preserving it. Many people said he was just trying to get more funding for the department,” Gu Weifeng’s eyes were rarely red, “Finally, finally.”

There are things that people devote their entire lives to, yet others may never understand.

At the press conference, many families of the victims held up portraits, covering their faces and weeping.

Bai Yu was there too.

He once told me that at his mother’s funeral, he couldn’t cry no matter what. After that, it was as if he’d lost the ability to shed tears forever.

He still didn’t cry, but stood solemnly.

Afterwards, the Murderer would be handed over to the Court and sentenced to the Death Penalty.

Zheng Nan Zhou announced at the same time that he would temporarily retire from acting. How could his fans accept that their idol had once played a couple with a Murderer?

Back during the audition, Zheng Nan Zhou had already sensed something was off with Wen Yi. When he tried to break free, she left him covered in cuts, even forcing him to do things for her…

After all, he had many Female Fans.

Zheng Nan Zhou really couldn’t bear it, and had to endure a lot of hardships he couldn’t speak of.

After the press conference, Bai Yu returned to his usual smiling self, leading the entire crew around the country for promotions.

Every screening received great reviews, and the media jury even gave it a high score of 9.7.

At one screening, an audience member asked, “Miss Juexia, I’m a big fan of yours! I really like you! I wanted to ask, how do you view the female lead’s choice to ‘fight evil with evil’ at the end of the film?”

I stepped into the spotlight, and in my mind, I heard a long-lost “ding”.

“I think, at the end, the heroine realizes that kindness alone cannot defeat evil. So she chooses to walk into the darkness and accompany evil.”

“But what if she has that power, yet ends up falling herself?”

“Then, her Safety Rope will bind her immediately.”

In the audience, Gu Weifeng wore his uniform, the Police Badge gleaming on his chest.

END

A sudden mini-theater on a certain day:

Director Bai Yu: Juexia, I’ve saved so many roles for you. Hurry and come shoot a new film.

Gu Weifeng: Ignore him, come to the Police Station! We’re holding a Commendation Ceremony! So many of my colleagues want to meet you-

Jiang Juexia (looking at her fully booked schedule): Stop, stop, you guys, please don’t fight anymore!
