After giving it some thought, Aunt Wang secretly took the girl’s light brain that had been confiscated by Ye Tianming that night.

“That night, someone had been constantly messaging the girl. Judging by the chat records, this person was very concerned and caring about the girl. I thought maybe I could try something, so I secretly took down that person’s number and gave them a hint, letting them come to rescue the girl.”

The young man arrived quickly, and Aunt Wang cooperated with him, helping him to rescue the girl.

Afterward, Ye Tianming completely lost his sanity.

Once the girl was rescued, Ye Tianming started searching for girls who resembled her, and all sorts of girls started coming in and out of the Ye household.

“It wasn’t until one day that a new girl arrived, and she looked almost exactly like the girl from before!”

The subsequent events aligned completely with the plot of “Returning to Temptation.” Ye Tianming kept “Bing Shang” by his side, but her personality wasn’t like her sister’s. The “Bing Shang” he brought back was genuinely infatuated with him, admiring him greatly. However, Ye Tianming, driven by his twisted desires, tried to mold “Bing Shang” into the “Bing Xin” he had in his mind. The more submissive she was, the more dissatisfied he became. He tormented her in every way, hoping to shape “Bing Shang” into his ideal “Bing Xin.”

Aunt Wang wanted to help, but this girl was different from the one who resisted and wanted to escape. This girl was truly in love and wanted to stay in the Ye household, by Ye Tianming’s side. Aunt Wang was powerless.

Eventually, in a fit of rage, Ye Tianming’s actions caused “Bing Shang” to have a miscarriage. After enduring humiliation for so long, “Bing Shang” thought having a child would keep Ye Tianming tied to her, but he ended up destroying their child with his own hands. Filled with resentment, “Bing Shang” left the Ye household.

Aunt Wang wasn’t sure about what happened afterward, but she knew that a little over a year later, the eldest son of the family, Ye Tianming’s older brother, brought back his fiancée, whom he had promised to marry, and Aunt Wang noticed that although the woman didn’t look exactly like the Baiyueguang in Ye Tianming’s heart, her demeanor and personality were strikingly similar.

“Perhaps that’s why he got involved with his sister-in-law. At that time, he himself was already engaged, and his fiancée had moved in.”

At this point, shock couldn’t begin to describe the feelings of the netizens!

【What did I just hear? A live version of “Returning to Temptation”?】

【Oh my god! In the drama, it’s fine that Gu Chen illegally imprisoned Bingxin, but in reality, isn’t anyone going to address the fact that Ye Tianming imprisoned someone? Does the Ye family have that much power? Is the interstellar government really this corrupt?】

【Didn’t you hear that Ye Tianming frequently brought girls home? His private life is very loose. The family probably thought this time would be the same as before. They probably thought the girl he brought this time was like the ones before, willing to spend the night with Ye Tianming. Moreover, it was during the school break, so maybe the girl told her family she wouldn’t be going home (just my guess), or Ye Tianming used the girl’s light brain to contact her parents. From an outsider’s perspective, it might not seem like imprisonment. It’s just that during the break, his girlfriend had nowhere to stay, so he brought her home. In reality, though, he was imprisoning the girl.】

【… This is terrifying upon closer examination! Ye Tianming is truly frightening.】

【Does this mean that the next part will be the same as “Returning to Temptation,” and that sister-in-law is actually “Bing Shang” coming back for revenge? And Ye Tianming’s fiancée is actually his own Baiyueguang?】

Upon seeing the last barrage of messages, Aunt Wang nodded and said, “That’s right. The subsequent events are just like they are in the drama. His sister-in-law is actually Bing Shang…”

Aunt Wang didn’t reveal the true names of the two girls in her disclosure. She used the names from the drama as substitutes.

However, what disappointed the netizens was that the real-life “Bing Shang” didn’t achieve revenge like in the drama. There were no parents like Yuling’s in reality. “Bing Shang” was just a girl who managed to get close to Ye Tianming’s older brother and disrupt the Ye household. She nearly drove the two brothers to turn against each other. However, she was an outsider when it came to the “Ye family.” Even if they caused trouble privately, the family maintained a harmonious appearance in public.

Instead, it was “Bing Shang” herself who exposed her identity. Ye Tianming imprisoned her and threw her into the beast room. If Aunt Wang hadn’t discovered that Ye Tianming had thrown her into the beast room and hadn’t rescued her, “Bing Shang” probably wouldn’t have survived. But there was only so much Aunt Wang could do. When “Bing Shang” asked her to help reveal the Ye family’s true nature to the world, Aunt Wang still chose to refuse.

At this point, someone asked about Ye Tianming’s fiancée.

Ye Tianming’s fiancée was probably the only one willing to help “Bing Shang.” However, when she tried to help “Bing Shang” escape, Ye Tianming found out. Seeing that they were trying to flee, he went insane, drove them to a deserted area, and told them to run far away. Then he drove back home.

“It wasn’t until much later that I found out. That night, as the two women were rushing back, they had a car accident halfway. ‘Bing Shang’ wasn’t seriously injured, but the other girl suffered severe injuries.”

Do the Ye family members know about this? They do, but they don’t care. They even cancelled the engagement with Ye Tianming’s fiancée because she had run away. Their reason was that since she ran away, they couldn’t accept such an unruly daughter-in-law.

“For these years, I’ve watched the Ye family’s status rise and prosper. I always remember those two innocent girls. I’ve always blamed myself for not standing with them back then. Over the years, I thought he would settle down after finding a new family and the girl he was most satisfied with. I didn’t expect his old problems to resurface, and that he would continue to torment his students outside!”

As Aunt Wang spoke, her tear-filled eyes were burning with anger.

She had always believed that things would progress to this point, and she also saw herself as an accomplice. So, after revealing the truth in the livestream, she planned to turn herself in to the police.

As for why she had to reveal the truth, she was afraid that the Ye family still held onto hope and would try to downplay the situation. She didn’t want the tragedy of the past to repeat itself. She wanted to expose the true face of the Ye family to the entire planet.

The other girl in the livestream is named Chen Linshan. She says, “I swear I didn’t know I could enter the Ye household until yesterday. It’s because I look so much like that psycho’s Baiyueguang in his mind!”

Chen Linshan is young and speaks candidly. If it weren’t for her still having some manners, she could have rolled up her sleeves and cursed the entire Ye family right in the livestream!

She continues, “Actually, the reconciliation last night was all because Ye Tianming threatened us, using their family’s status and power to oppress us. I’m just an ordinary person, and I was afraid he might harm my family for real. So, I had to accept the reconciliation, saying it was just a minor altercation. But I didn’t expect this psycho to send me to his twisted hideout for clones! At first, I didn’t understand why, but after talking to those girls, I found out that everyone knew his true face, and once they knew the truth, he would make those girls drink a hallucinogenic concoction. This would make them unable to resist loving him, obeying him… No, even thinking about it now makes me sick! This damn psycho! He’s practically being let off too easily by going straight to prison! He should be tortured for a few years like Gu Dog before being thrown in!”

As Chen Linshan talks, she becomes increasingly angry, and her face turns bright red.

As the livestream is about to end, Chen Linshan adds, “By the way, besides thanking Aunt Wang, I also want to thank Miss Anna. If it weren’t for her discovering the psycho’s hideout and promptly reporting it to the police, we wouldn’t know what would have happened to us. Thank you, Miss Anna, and I hope you can have a free and happy life from now on.”

With that, Chen Linshan ends the livestream.

As soon as the livestream ends, she lets out a sigh of relief and nervously asks Aunt Wang, “Aunt Wang, I didn’t accidentally reveal anything, did I?”

Aunt Wang smiles and reassures her, “No, you did great!”

Chen Linshan pats her chest, “That’s a relief then. But be careful not to expose Miss Anna. Anyway, that damn psycho has been caught, and he should bear all the blame himself!”

However, Chen Linshan’s concern changes, “Aunt Wang, are you really going to turn yourself in? You’ve already done so much…”

Aunt Wang sighs, “Well, in the end, I was cowardly back then and indirectly ruined these girls’ lives. Don’t worry about me. I’m getting old, and I want to live a bit more freely from now on. I don’t want to carry the weight of these heavy past events anymore.”

Chen Linshan knows she can’t persuade Aunt Wang. But given the circumstances, Aunt Wang might not truly be an accomplice, right?

On the other side, Su Manman and the others have also watched the livestream. After finishing, they can’t sleep, and they come to find Yan Yue. Even Fang Ji is there.

Su Xiaoyu feels a shiver down her spine as she recalls, “If we hadn’t witnessed that scene, if you guys hadn’t gone with me to see Xiaoxue and convinced her to move back to the dorm… I…”

She can’t even dare to think about what could have happened.

Now, with that scumbag disabled and captured, she can barely find a hint of comfort, but it’s just a hint. She still thinks he’s getting off too easily.

Hearing this, Yan Yue says, “Indeed, he’s getting off too easily. So, hasn’t Wei Zong made a move yet?”

The other three’s eyes widen!

Right!

Wei Zong!

There’s Wei Zong!

Listening to Aunt Wang’s story, it’s quite obvious. The guy who went to save “Bingxin,” more likely than not, was Wei Chenxu. Then there’s the serious car accident involving Ye Tianming’s fiancée… Wei Chenxu’s wife disappeared around the same time, and she still hasn’t woken up…

To sum it up, Wei Chenxu won’t let the Ye family off the hook! He definitely won’t let the person who changed his wife’s appearance go either!

Suddenly, Su Xiaoyu and the others feel as if the sky has cleared and the rain has stopped. They feel like they’ve found their way!

They know that Wei Zong will definitely make a move. What they didn’t expect is that Wei Chenxu would act so quickly!

The next afternoon, the police announced that they would transparently conduct an investigation into the Ye family’s case and not provide any cover-ups. Furthermore, the Caos, who are involved in interstellar development, were also being investigated. It’s said that they were involved in money laundering, and Cao’s daughter was also linked to a drug trafficking case.

At first, people didn’t pay much attention to the Cao family. That is, until someone suddenly posted a photo. It was a large group photo taken many years ago when the Ye and Cao families had an engagement.

The two people engaged in the photo were instantly recognizable!

Who else could it be if not Ye Tianming? And that Cao family “daughter” is unmistakably the woman Wei Chenxu took from the hospital yesterday!

For a moment, the entire internet was in an uproar!

【We now know that the woman Wei Zong took from the hospital yesterday was his wife who had been missing for years. From this, it’s clear that the Cao family is the one that changed Wei Zong’s wife’s appearance and swapped her into the Shen family!】

【Oh my god! It all matches up perfectly?! Wei Zong is the real-life version of He Zong! The woman Wei Zong took away yesterday is the real-life version of the one who was switched into the Shen family, “Shen Ruojin,” also known as “Bingxin”! I can’t believe it! It’s really a real-life version of “Returning to Temptation”! Yan Yue is truly amazing!!!】

【The Cao family is a bunch of criminals! The parents are laundering money, and their daughter is trafficking drugs! What on earth is wrong with this world? How can criminals still be walking free like this? Are our planet’s police really this inept?】

The internet was filled with condemnation for both the Ye family and the Cao family. The criticism was overwhelming.

In no time, the police released the latest news about the Ye family’s case.

They were implicated in embezzlement and even murder. The Ye family was completely sealed off, and all the members were taken into custody.

This news brought great satisfaction to many. However, there was even more satisfying news!

Once again, it came from the elite gossipmonger ——

【Elite Gossipmonger: Hello everyone, it’s me again, the gossipmonger.

Just received the latest news. The dog Ye tried to commit suicide in prison, but he wasn’t successful! Can you believe this psycho even wanted to die easily? He’s dreaming! Let him suffer and be tortured properly in prison. Damn psycho!】

And after half an hour, the elite gossipmonger came again ——

【Hahaha, oh my god, this is hilarious! The dog Ye got beaten up in prison! With his missing arm and eye, won’t he be beaten to death? Inmates, go easy on him, don’t let this psycho die so easily!】

Not long after, the prestigious gossip source, gossipmonger, emerged again:

【Haha, according to the latest frontline news, it seems like Ye Dog got intimate with someone in prison…

Help, can you believe this is being discussed so openly? Prison inmates really have no standards…

No, I’m seriously about to throw up reading this…】

Seeing this explosive piece of news, Yan Yue exclaimed, “????”

Damn, it’s really encountering the bizarre…

Well, he deserved it, but it’s just too disturbing…

However, Yan Yue was quite curious about who this gossipmonger was and how they knew everything.

Netizens were also extremely curious:

【What exactly do you do, gossipmonger? How do you even have information about prison affairs?】

【Oh my god, gossipmonger please don’t tell me you have connections inside the prison…】

【Even though I really want Ye Dog to die right now, don’t fabricate a bunch of stories to deceive me! Don’t mess with my emotions!】

While gossipmonger” was online, after seeing everyone’s questions, they quickly responded: 【Yes, it’s true that gossipmonger indeed has contacts in prison, but they are not inmates. In any case, all this gossip is real!】

Just as gossipmonger was emphasizing that the information they’re sharing is true, the authorities posted a message informing the public that a certain “Ye” had attempted suicide in prison but was stopped.

Although the police had previously stated that they would publicly interrogate the Ye family’s case, they didn’t expect it to be so open, even including Ye Tianming’s failed suicide attempt…

In response, the public voiced their opinion: Please maintain this level of transparency, we want to witness Ye Dog’s public execution!

Back at gossipmonger, their page was practically turning into “Ye Tianming’s Prison Diary,” with frequent updates on his situation in prison.

Seeing Ye Tianming suffering, Yan Yue and the others found it satisfying!

The next day, just as the show was about to announce the theme for the eighth round of the competition, the four contestants gathered in the base’s cafeteria. They were watching a live stream on gossipmonger’s page, showing the wicked Ye Tianming being tormented by other prisoners in jail.

Seeing that Ye Tianming’s other eye seemed to have been blinded by those prison bullies, the four of them sighed sympathetically, but what they felt even more was satisfaction!

While engrossed in the stream, a staff member came to find Yan Yue, saying that someone was looking for her in the VIP room.

It was the same staff member who had taken Yan Yue to meet Wei Chensen last time. This time, he said, “Besides General Wei, there’s also his wife, and… well, go see for yourself.” The staff member was still cryptic, and although he wasn’t surprised to see General Wei and his wife, he was utterly astonished when he saw the woman by General Wei’s side. He almost dropped his jaw at her feet!

From the affairs of the Ye family, the Wei family, and the Cao family, he had followed along, eating up all the gossip. By now, he had almost figured out the entire sequence of events. But he could never have imagined that the real-life Bing Shang would be this person…

After the last encounter, when Yan Yue went to see Wei Chensen, the atmosphere was not as tense.

When Yan Yue arrived, Wei Chensen was gently tucking a blanket around his wife. He looked gentle, with a smile on his face, quite different from the day they had met.

In the VIP rest area, there was another person, holding the hand of Wei Chensen’s wife, who was sleeping peacefully in a wheelchair. When she saw Yan Yue, she gave a slight smile and said, “Finally, we meet, Teacher Yan. I’ve heard so much about you.”

Yan Yue replied with a smile, calmly greeting her, “Miss Anna is too kind.”

Anna was somewhat surprised, “You don’t seem to be surprised.”

Yan Yue pondered for a few seconds, “Perhaps I’m naturally poker-faced?”

Her words unexpectedly hit Anna’s funny bone, and Anna burst into laughter, struggling to calm down before saying, “I’m going back to B33 Star with my sister and brother-in-law. Before leaving, I thought I should meet you and express my gratitude in person.”

After saying this, Wei Chensen deeply bowed to Yan Yue, “Thank you for what happened this time.”

Yan Yue was genuinely surprised this time. She hadn’t expected Wei Chensen, a person who was always in a high position, to bow and thank her.

This also revealed how important this lady was in his heart. Important enough that Wei Chensen, who always held himself so high, was willing to bow and express gratitude to an ordinary person.

After Wei Chensen finished his thanks, he pushed his wife out of the room temporarily, leaving the space to Yan Yue and Anna. This was probably something Anna had arranged with him before.

The room fell silent again, and Anna invited Yan Yue to sit and chat.

Anna had initially come to express gratitude, but upon meeting Yan Yue in person, Anna found her reaction quite intriguing. So, she asked, “Can I ask when you discovered that I am the real-life version of the Bing Shang you depicted in your writing?”

Yan Yue smiled, “I thought Miss Anna would first question me about why my work closely matches your experiences.”

Anna was taken aback by Yan Yue’s counter-question and burst into laughter.

Yan Yue noticed that Anna’s laughter was more genuine and relaxed than what she had seen on livestreams or social media photos.

After Anna’s laughter subsided, she said, “Actually, I’m curious too. But when I think about it, those events happened when you were probably not even knee-high to me.”

Yan Yue, “…………”

You’re kind of insulting me here!

The combined ages of my thousand parallel worlds could make me your ancestor!

Seeing Yan Yue speechless, Anna held back her laughter and said, “Regardless of how you created this work, it has helped me immensely.”

In reality, Anna had been close to taking action herself, but Yan Yue’s work had suddenly given her inspiration. Leveraging the post that surfaced online, suggesting that Ye Tianming might be the real-life version of Gu Chen, she had advanced all her plans…

“So, you still haven’t told me when you discovered who I am,” Anna asked.

Yan Yue didn’t beat around the bush either. When talking to intelligent people, there’s no need for elaborate explanations. She replied, “The first time you did a livestream.”

That night’s livestream was really quite fortunate. The timing was spot on for everything, perfectly capturing the moment when everyone saw Ye Tianming tearing the clothes of his housemaid, and when everyone witnessed Ye Tianming’s insane behavior. Because everything aligned so perfectly, it couldn’t help but make people wonder if the person conducting the livestream intentionally wanted everyone to see these things.

Yan Yue didn’t filter things like Anna did for the online community, so she quickly saw through Anna’s deliberate livestream that night.

Upon hearing this, a touch of surprise flickered in Anna’s beautiful eyes. “So early? I thought it would be at least the next day’s livestream. I always felt that my performance of pretending to be scared and fainting was a bit too dramatic. Looking back now, there are still many aspects that need improvement. And the animal trainer from the Ye family arrived a bit too quickly…”

Anna sighed repeatedly, akin to the state of someone who had argued during the day but couldn’t sleep while contemplating it at night.

Yan Yue: “…”

Yan Yue had come to a full realization. Anna, standing before her, also had a touch of “yandere” in her personality. If the animal trainer from the Ye family hadn’t come that night, Ye Tianming might have been killed by the python in front of everyone! Yet Anna only cared about not performing well that night and not fainting convincingly enough.

Nevertheless, when all was said and done, Ye Tianming deserved his fate. Yan Yue actually admired Anna’s qualities: her patience, resourcefulness, and resolute nature.

This handsome woman was now openly discussing all her plans and preparations from these past years with Yan Yue.

For instance, on the night when Ye Tianming had dumped them in the wilderness, Anna recognized the birthmark on her sister’s ankle. They recognized each other that night, but fate had a cruel twist in store for them. After their reunion, they had a car accident. Anna’s sister saved her by pushing her away.

Anna then took her sister to the hospital and reorganized her plans for everything afterward. She spent a full three years gaining Ye Tianming’s complete trust, then spent over a year convincing him to rebuild the beast-taming room where he had humiliated her. She even learned about animal taming from the animal trainer.

Ye Tianming’s mental state was consistently unstable. He relied on special drugs to maintain a semblance of normalcy. The night he had strangled Chen Linshan, Anna had been secretly swapping out his medication for a month. Without proper medication, Ye Tianming frequently lost control. That night when attacked by the spirit beasts, he was already mentally clouded.

As for the so-called reconciliation after he was arrested, it wasn’t like what Chen Linshan claimed in the livestream—that Ye Tianming had used threats and coercion. Ye Tianming, mentally unstable, wouldn’t have been capable of such actions. It was Anna who was responsible for it all.

Anna had informed the police that it was all a misunderstanding. She even enlisted Chen Linshan’s help. Recently, Anna had learned that Ye Tianming had likely imprisoned students from the First Military Academy. She had accidentally overheard a video call in which girls begged him to let them go and promised not to reveal his secret. Ye Tianming naturally refused to release them and instructed his men to drug the girls.

Anna’s intelligence allowed her to quickly piece together the sequence of events. Chen Linshan’s injuries by Ye Tianming were unintentional. Anna had originally intended to let Ye Tianming lose control around her, then had Chen Linshan unexpectedly intervene. Anna took advantage of this situation and broadcasted Ye Tianming’s true nature.

Later, she asked Chen Linshan for help. Since she couldn’t locate where Ye Tianming was holding the girls, she used Chen Linshan’s knowledge of Ye Tianming’s true self to manipulate her into action. Chen Linshan would likely be sent to join those girls once she was discovered by Ye Tianming.

Anna, however, couldn’t allow herself to be captured. She still wanted to witness Ye Tianming’s death. Anna continued to act compliant in front of Ye Tianming. Fortunately, without his medication for a month, Ye Tianming’s mind was muddled, allowing Anna to deceive him.

Before Chen Linshan was taken away, Anna implanted a brain chip into her cerebral cortex. In case of any brain scans or similar technology, Ye Tianming would confiscate anything that might reveal his location, even if he was in a confused state. Anna then located the girls using the chip’s coordinates and captured them all.

The only thing that disappointed Anna was that the spirit beasts hadn’t actually eaten Ye Tianming. However, luckily, Wei Chenxu arrived at this point. Frankly speaking, Anna didn’t even know what her brother-in-law looked like before he found her. She had almost forgotten her sister’s appearance before the reunion; after all, they had been separated for over 20 years. Yet, under those circumstances, Anna’s sister pushed her away as the car sped toward them.

Her first act of revenge was for herself. The second act was for her sister. Therefore, she wouldn’t let herself fail in the second act, no matter what.

In the end, she had finally brought her long-awaited conclusion…

Anna finished recounting her past with a carefree tone, but Yan Yue felt a weight in her chest.

Seeing Yan Yue’s reaction, Anna laughed, “It’s okay, it’s all in the past now. My sister and I are going back like Ice Shards. We’re going to be a happy little family group, just like that.”

“As for Ye Tianming, as long as he’s not dead, he can keep on living.” Anna’s crescent-moon-like eyes curved into a smile, making her look quite charming.

Yan Yue understood clearly; it seemed that Anna and Wei Chenxu were behind the events in the prison, including the records about Ye Tianming’s time there, even the prison diary by Little Scrapper.

Afterward, Anna stood up, as if preparing to leave, and jokingly said, “I’ve told you all this. You’re not going to sell me out, are you?”

Yan Yue touched her chin, imitating Anna’s playful tone, and lazily said, “Well, I’ll have to think about it. How much can I sell Miss Anna’s story for? They say your brother-in-law’s net worth is in the trillions. I should be able to sell it for a few hundred million at the very least, right?”

Anna adjusted her bag, squinted her eyes, and looked at Yan Yue as she clicked her tongue in a true “big sister” fashion. “Look at you, what a lack of ambition. If you’re going to sell, you should aim for at least my brother-in-law’s net worth. Isn’t this story worth that price?”

The two exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

Before leaving, Anna whispered in Yan Yue’s ear, “Let me tell you a secret: my brother-in-law’s net worth is just over a billion. It’s my sister who’s worth trillions.”

Yan Yue: “?”

Anna: “Because my brother-in-law is tightly controlled by my sister. He hands over all his money. And the largest bionic industry under the Wei family’s banner is managed solely by my sister. So, if you want to blackmail someone, don’t go to him. Useless men aren’t worth much money. You should go to my sister.”

Yan Yue: “???”

What do you mean “Just over a billion”?

What do you mean “Useless men aren’t worth much money”???

Sister! Do you even listen to what you’re saying, my dear sister!!!
