asleep and wasn't angry anymore. She understood he was busy, it was her own idea to run back and surprise him, which disrupted his work flow.So I had already made up my mind.I wanted to give him some...It was not easy for Shu Tinglan to contact Rian because there was no reason to go back to Zhuoyuan Technology. After thinking about it, she could only ask her best friend Lin Zhifei for help.

When Zhuo Yunan saw Shu Tinglan again at the parking garage on Monday, he couldn't help but find her car unpleasant. In this building they lived in, the parking garage was filled with luxury cars, and hers stood out like a sore thumb. Every time she passed the toll booth, the security guard would ask to see her owner's certificate before allowing her to pass. She didn't mind the trouble at all, driving openly and confidently. Her 200,000 car exuded an aura of 20 million.

"You go first!" Shu Tinglan called to him. Usually, she led the way and he followed cautiously behind, parting ways once they left the parking garage.

"Well, take care on your way." Zhu Yu'an heard her and started the engine first.

After driving for a while, he found that Shu Tinglan's car had been following him without heading towards the law firm. He called her and jokingly said:

"Tracking me"

"No, I'm just on my way. Don't answer phone calls while driving, hang up."

Zuo Yu slowed down, the company wasn't far. He turned in the direction of the company's underground parking garage. As a result, Shu Tinglan also turned and drove into the underground garage with him.

She looks like she's here for business. What kind of business could she possibly have with Zhuruan Technology

"Need a lawyer"

"That's right, your project has ended. Director Xiao asked me to follow up."

"Well Shouldn't I just be contacted directly I'm your customer, after all."

"You get what we do in the legal world, right"

The proud little eyes cast him a disdainful glance.

Zhuo Yu'an laughed:

"Well, I don't understand. How about we stay for lunch together"

"No need, I already made an appointment with Lin Zhixuan."

"Good." He was almost jealous of Lin Zhixu.

After coming out of the basement, Shu Tinglan kept her distance from him and even took different elevators. She waited until he went upstairs before taking another elevator down.

Visiting Zhang the lawyer was just an excuse; the real purpose was to see Ri'an. Lin Zhifan interviewed several candidates that morning, and Ri'an was one of the interviewers. To accommodate Shu Tinglan, Lin Zhifan purposely scheduled the interview at a coffee shop outside Zhuoyuan Technology.

Shu Tinglan was busy with her work at the cafe, waiting to meet them after their interview.

Lin Zhihao, due to work, became quite familiar with Rian. He briefly introduced Shu Tinglan's identity. As they had met before at Zhuoyuan Technology, Rian wasn't unfamiliar with Shu Tinglan, but he didn't understand why she was looking for him.

Shu Tinglan got straight to the point, putting the encrypted files from his computer in front of him. They were all written by his own code, so he recognized them at first glance, but he just stared at Shu Tinglan in shock.

“What is this”

"This is for Wen Jian, isn't it"

Lin Zhiyao was also at a loss, and didn't know the connection.

"Yes, she had me develop it. She said it was for internal testing." Rian didn't know if he was truly clueless or just pretending.

"Well, you might as well see where this program is being used." Thanks to Teacher He's carefulness and meticulousness, all the materials she sent were numbered and organized, so she could extract them at any time.

At this moment, the file she opened was a hypnosis program developed by Rian. The time it appeared in her home system, every day, at every time point, Teacher He had listed in detail.

Rian's expression became visibly panicked, Shu Tinglan's face stern, and he continued,

“Whether you genuinely don't know the purpose of this program, Wen Jian gave me, or you're pretending not to, I don't know. But if you refuse to tell the truth, its presence in my home is entirely your responsibility. I have psychological reports proving the harm it has caused me, and we can pursue legal action based on that.”

She paused, then said more firmly.

“Even murder, with subway video as evidence.”

Her tone was icy, her expression grave. Rian shuffled his hands nervously, silent as they stared each other down.

"What murder What subway video What's going on with Shushu" Lin Zhifan had heard this for the first time. She had gone through all the files on her computer and roughly understood what was happening.

"What did Wen Jian tell him to do To almost make you try to commit suicide while you were unconscious"

Shu Tinglan could bear it for so long, she couldn't endure even a minute. Pointing at Rian, she said...

"Are you still going to protect Wen Jian This is murder! If you don't testify for Shu Tinglan, you won't escape blame either."

Ryan was silent for a long time, and finally looked up and asked

"What can I do for you"

"Testify for me."

Shouting Lan was well-prepared. Seeing the right moment, he took out the relevant materials and testimonies he had prepared beforehand while speaking.

"You just need to sign here."

She needs to strike while the iron is hot, lest Ryan change his mind. Every step she has taken so far has been hard-won.

“If you sign this statement, it will clear your name. You're just an amateur developer of hypnosis programs and are unaware of Wen Jian’s true purpose. If you refuse to sign, you'll be considered an accomplice to Wen Jian, and I guarantee you won't be able to stay in this industry.” Shu Tinglan spoke slowly but clearly, her tone resolute, leaving no room for doubt.

Ryan glanced down at the statement and signed it with gritted teeth.

"There's nothing I'm afraid to sign because, honestly, I don't know what she'll use it for. I'm her employee, and I just follow her orders. But if she uses the products I develop for illegal activities, I won't stand for it." Rian is a smart person, of course, he needs to distance himself from this.

"Okay, let's keep our conversation confidential today." Shu Tinglan took back the evidence files and felt a sigh of relief in her heart. She didn't expect the progress to be so smooth.

After Ryan left, Lin Zhifan, who had been suppressing his anger all this time, finally exploded.

"Shu, do you still consider me your friend After all that's happened, you haven't said a word."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I only recently found out the truth myself."

Lin Zhihao looked at her and felt a pang of sympathy. He couldn't imagine the pain she must have endured during that time.

"Alright, it's okay. See, I'm fine now" Shu Tinglan saw Lin Zhiyao's eyes were red and felt touched. Only Lin Zhiyao cared for her with all her heart and always considered things from her perspective.

Does Zhuo Yu'an know what Wen Jian has done

She answered quietly.

Lin Zhizhe almost gritted his teeth and said.

“We absolutely can’t let them get away. Shu, you can’t be soft this time.”

"I know." She was no longer the Shu Tinglan who had been bullied and only hid. Nor was she the Shu Tinglan who was helpless in the face of trouble and could only seek help.

She knew a lot of things no one would help her with, so she had to rely on herself.

"What are you going to do Need me to do anything for you" Lin Zhi said.

I haven't decided yet, I'll talk to her when she gets back from Qīníng.

Lin Zhixuan had to leave because he had other interviews scheduled. Shu Tinglan carried her computer to the garage, but she saw Zhuo Yu'an standing beside her car at some point, smiling at her.

"Ms. Shu, is the follow-up call complete" to normal."When someone mentioned that there was "yao yao" (likely a name or slang), Chen Ning immediately felt less worried about the situation.As they were chatting, Song Jingye emerged from the ba...
