Shen Ye gently said, “Assaulting someone is against the law.”

Zhang Zhiru coldly snorted, “I have evidence of their crimes. They won’t dare to sue me.”

Shen Ye: “…”

He felt that he should have a proper discussion with Zhang Zhiru regarding legal regulations and moral values.

“Zhang Zhiru, firstly, using incriminating evidence to threaten others is also a crime. Secondly, even if they committed a crime, if you have knowledge of it and don’t report it, although you haven’t committed a crime yourself, you should still face moral condemnation.”

Zhang Zhiru: “…”

Shen Ye: “So, do you want me to help?”

On the other end, Zhang Zhiru sighed, “I have compromising photos of Zhang Fan and Ouyang Yi. If they are released, Ouyang Yi’s reputation will be ruined, but it won’t have much impact on Zhang Fan, at most, it will be a matter of integrity. I am currently gathering evidence of Zhang Fan’s money laundering activities. If I can obtain it, he will be completely finished.”

Shen Ye: “…”

This classmate of his was ruthless, actually personally collecting evidence of her own father’s crimes.

But from what he heard, Zhang Fan wasn’t a good person either. He constantly cheated and was involved in money laundering, which went beyond mere issues of character and morality.

Shen Ye asked Zhang Zhiru, “Does your mother or your maternal grandparents have any involvement?”

As far as he knew, the two families had formed a marriage alliance, so Zhang Fan’s actions were probably related to Zhang Zhiru’s maternal grandparents.

Zhang Zhiru said, “My mother was not involved.” Pausing for a moment, she added, “He wants to divorce my mother, so I can’t let him involve my mother.”

Shen Ye: “What about your maternal grandparents’ family?”

Zhang Zhiru fell silent.

Shen Ye pondered and asked, “Did your maternal grandparents’ family also participate?”

“I’m not sure,” Zhang Zhiru hesitated for a while and said, “But Zhang Fan started cheating on my mother when I was very young. Now I’m twenty years old, and my mother has never divorced him all these years. There must be a reason…”

Shen Ye: “Do you suspect that the reason your mother didn’t divorce him is because she’s afraid that her family will be implicated if she breaks ties with Zhang Fan?”

Zhang Zhiru did not deny it.

Shen Ye: “…”

Both of them fell silent for a while.

Shen Ye: “Where are you? I’ll come find you so that you won’t be held captive by your father and maternal grandparents.”

Zhang Zhiru knew that what she had done was dangerous. After hesitating for a long time, she finally didn’t refuse the good intentions of Shen Ye.

The next morning, Shen Ye met up with Cai Zhiwei, ready to go find Zhang Zhiru.

Today, Cai Zhiwei didn’t have any filming commitments. He rushed back from the film and television studio and came to pick up Shen Ye with his girlfriend, planning to go to Zhang Zhiru’s house together. Cai Zhiwei’s girlfriend also came from a good background and was familiar with Zhang Zhiru. Upon learning about Zhang Zhiru’s situation, she insisted on supporting her.

As soon as Shen Ye got in the car, Cai Zhiwei complained about his girlfriend, “She insisted on going to see Xiao Ru, thinking she’s on a righteous mission. The Zhang family is not to be underestimated.”

Shen Ye narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, saying, “I can tell that you’re bragging about how upright and kind-hearted your girlfriend is to her friends.”

Cai Zhiwei chuckled, “…hehe.”

His girlfriend also laughed and played with Cai Zhiwei’s hair, “Letting you act in front of Xiao Ye, he’s a master, can’t he see through your little schemes?”

Cai Zhiwei, “…”

The three of them joked and arrived at Zhang Zhiru’s house. Zhang Zhiru’s mother had long since separated from Zhang Fan, and the mother and daughter lived alone in a villa.

Zhang Zhiru was already waiting at the gate. When she saw Shen Ye’s car approaching, she excitedly waved her hand.

“Is your mother at home?” Cai Zhiwei’s girlfriend got out of the car and hugged Zhang Zhiru’s arm, whispering, “It’s better not to let Auntie know about this matter.”

After all, it was about dealing with Zhang Fan. As Zhang Fan’s original wife, Zhang Zhiru’s mother would also be in a difficult position, especially considering her maternal family’s involvement.

Zhang Zhiru nodded, “I’ve already sent my mother away.”

Shen Ye glanced at her face, surprised, “Did you call Zhang Fan and Ouyang Yi to come?”

“Yes,” Zhang Zhiru shrugged. “I told Ouyang Yi that I have a video of her and Zhang Fan in bed, and she must come, otherwise, I’ll upload it online. She cursed at me over the phone but still obediently came. As for Zhang Fan, it was even easier. I lied to him, saying that my mother agreed to divorce him, and asked him to bring the divorce agreement. He happily agreed.”

Shen Ye, “…”

Cai Zhiwei, “…”

Only Cai Zhiwei’s girlfriend looked at Zhang Zhiru with admiration in her eyes. “Xiao Ru, you’re amazing!”

“What’s so amazing about it? As long as Zhang Fan and Ouyang Yi have a phone conversation, this plan will be exposed,” Shen Ye said.

Zhang Zhiru replied, “I’ve already warned Ouyang Yi not to contact Zhang Fan. If she does, I’ll just upload the video directly without waiting for her to come.”

Shen Ye, “…I think she has already contacted Zhang Fan.”

Ouyang Yi wasn’t an easy opponent. Being threatened by Zhang Zhiru, she naturally had to seek help from her backer, Zhang Fan.

“…With you here, even if they come together, there’s nothing to fear,” Zhang Zhiru said speechlessly for a moment, changing the subject. “I suspect that Zhang Fan used the movies and TV dramas of his previous mistresses to launder money, and Ouyang Yi must have been involved as well… I believe in you, you will definitely be able to extract evidence of their crimes.”

Shen Ye, “…”

Zhang Zhiru, “Even if we can’t gather evidence, I can still give them a good beating to vent my anger. You’ll surely use your magic to cover for me, right?”

Shen Ye, “…”

He really didn’t know what to say. Zhang Zhiru was probably clouded by hatred, solely focused on beating up her deadbeat father and the mistress.

But Zhang Zhiru wasn’t wrong. With him around, he wouldn’t let Zhang Zhiru suffer.

Zhang Zhiru chuckled, “I knew you would always have my back, Xiao Ye!” She patted Cai Zhiwei and his girlfriend’s shoulders. “I’ll treat you to a meal later! Let’s go to Hai Feng No. 8!”

Hai Feng No. 8 was rumored to cost at least several hundred thousand for a single meal.

“Your parents are getting divorced, so you should save some money,” Cai Zhiwei’s girlfriend shook her head and advised earnestly, “You shouldn’t.”

Although they were both wealthy second-generation individuals, they weren’t the type to squander money.

Zhang Zhiru replied, “I’ve made some investments myself, so I won’t become poor.”

As she said that, she suddenly fell silent.

“What’s wrong?” Cai Zhiwei’s girlfriend asked, puzzled.

Zhang Zhiru hugged her arm and whispered, “Since I was young, the Zhang family and my maternal grandparents gave me shares and bought me funds and trusts. They also stored a considerable amount of money in overseas banks… The initial capital for my own investments was also given by them… If it turns out that their sources of income were all illegitimate, then I…”

She hadn’t considered this issue before. Now that she thought about it, everything she had used and consumed from childhood was provided by her family… She had also unknowingly used that dirty money…

Shen Ye sighed and said, “I wanted to remind you last night, but I figured you were too focused on seeking revenge, and I thought I would talk to you about it in person.”

Zhang Zhiru stood there, speechless.

“But your father did commit a crime, and you’re willing to uphold justice even against your own family. That deserves praise,” Shen Ye praised her.

Zhang Zhiru covered her face, not knowing what to say.

Seeing her still downcast, Shen Ye said, “Don’t worry, your maternal grandparents haven’t done anything illegal. As for your father, if he gets into trouble, you might even have to help him pay fines.”

Upon hearing that, Zhang Zhiru became slightly calmer and said, “If I have to pay, I’ll pay. Consider it repaying his favor of giving me life.”

“As long as you can come to terms with it,” Shen Ye smiled and glanced at her, “When your father arrives later, no matter what he does, don’t get angry. After all, you want to send him to prison.”

Zhang Zhiru snorted coldly, “I won’t get angry. The bond between me and my father has long been severed!”

However, when Zhang Fan barged in with Ouyang Yi and ordered the bodyguards to seize Zhang Zhiru, she felt a moment of sadness.

Zhang Fan slapped her across the face, “Back then, I shouldn’t have let your mother give birth to such a heartless and ungrateful creature like you!”

Ouyang Yi crossed her arms and smirked, “Miss Zhang, if you have the guts, go ahead and release the video of me and your father. Let’s see if your father will spare you!”

Zhang Zhiru was livid, glaring fiercely at Zhang Fan and Ouyang Yi.

Zhang Fan gave a signal to the nearby bodyguards, “Feed her the pills!”

Immediately, a bodyguard approached and pried open Zhang Zhiru’s mouth, intending to force-feed her a pill.

“Let go of me!” Zhang Zhiru struggled violently. “What are you trying to make me take?”

Ouyang Yi looked at her with a sly smile. “Of course, it’s something that will make you addicted.”

Zhang Zhiru widened her eyes. “You… You want me to take drugs?”

“Exactly,” Ouyang Yi smiled. “In large doses, you’ll become instantly addicted, and before long, you’ll play yourself to death.”

Zhang Zhiru couldn’t believe it, staring at Zhang Fan. “I’m your own daughter, and you want to kill me?”

“And what if I do? Are you going to report me?” Zhang Fan sneered. “You’re truly heartless. I raised you all these years without ever mistreating you, and now you want to send me to prison! Since you disregard the father-daughter relationship, I have no reason to be polite to you either!”

Ouyang Yi pretended to appease Zhang Fan. “Don’t get angry. Getting angry will harm your health, and I’ll feel sorry for you.”

Zhang Fan held her hand. “You’re always so considerate.”

These two people were disgusting, and Zhang Zhiru felt disgusted just watching them.

“I haven’t done anything wrong! And what about you? Betraying my mother time and time again, secretly laundering money… You’re already guilty of heinous crimes!” Zhang Zhiru stared at Zhang Fan with disgust. “You’ve hurt my mother’s heart enough, haven’t you? And the money you spend on maintaining mistresses is probably more than what you spend on raising me… Whenever I hear classmates gossiping about which female celebrity got sponsored, I can’t help but think of you, because you change female celebrities like you change clothes every year!”

Zhang Fan frowned deeply. “I won’t waste my time talking to you. If you have something to say, go find the King of Hell underground to plead your case.” After saying that, he scolded the bodyguards, “Why haven’t you fed her the pills yet?”

A bodyguard grabbed Zhang Zhiru’s chin, ready to force the pill into her mouth.

But in the next second, the bodyguard’s arm was struck by something, causing him to scream in pain. “Ouch! It hurts!”

Everyone except Zhang Zhiru was shocked.

Shen Ye and Cai Zhiwei’s girlfriend walked out of the resting room.

“Such a grand display of power,” Shen Ye glanced at Zhang Fan and Ouyang Yi. “I can tell by your faces that you’ll face imprisonment today.”

Before Zhang Fan and Ouyang Yi arrived, Zhang Zhiru had instructed Shen Ye and the others to hide. She wanted to see if Zhang Fan would dare to harm her.

It turned out she guessed it right. Zhang Fan immediately tried to kill her as soon as he entered.

Seeing Shen Ye, both Zhang Fan and Ouyang Yi’s faces changed drastically, especially Ouyang Yi, who trembled in fear.

You see, when Shen Ye predicted that Xiao Yiyi would face imprisonment, Xiao Yiyi really ended up in jail.

How could she not be afraid of such an accurate fortune-teller!
