“This was maliciously fabricated! I never said any of that!”
Han Jingyun retorted angrily.
But soon, a thin and timid girl stepped forward.
“President Han… I heard you say those words to Miss He that day.”
She glanced toward the site of the explosion and shrank back fearfully.
“I know you’re President Han, and this Mr. Huo is someone even producers and directors can’t afford to offend. You’re on the same side.
I’m just a nobody who runs errands for the crew. If even Miss He couldn’t resist you, how could I dare to? So even though I heard it, I pretended I didn’t…
“But you shouldn’t have been so vicious. You caused Miss He’s death. She had already told you she wanted a divorce and that she would step aside for you. Why did you still target her again and again?”
Another person also stepped forward.
“A week ago, during Miss He’s action scene, you told the stunt coordinator to make it real and not go easy on her. The instructor punched Miss He so hard that she fell to the ground and couldn’t get up for nearly a minute. And you even mocked her for being fragile.”
Han Jingyun was furious.
“Who paid you to say this? He Yanzi? Where is she? Let her come out and confront me face to face!”
She turned toward Huo Junfeng.
“President Huo, I really didn’t do it. You know what kind of person I am. If it weren’t for your request, I wouldn’t even have stayed in this production.
I want to get married—there are plenty of wealthy families I could choose from. Why would I bother stealing a married man like you? What would I gain from that?”
But Huo Junfeng no longer believed her.
So many people from the crew had stepped forward. Every one of them said they had seen Han Jingyun bullying He Yanzi.
Even now, Han Jingyun was still trying to smear Yanzi, claiming that she had bribed them.
But Huo Junfeng knew—
Yanzi would never use such methods.
He had taught her himself.
She had listened carefully, then told him seriously that she would never do such a thing.
Black was black. White was white.
She would never accept justice being twisted for any reason.
At the time, he had laughed and called her a silly little fool.
Now…
Where had Yanzi gone?
Would she ever come back to his side?
She could still send emails. That meant she shouldn’t be dead…
No matter where she was, he would find her.
Huo Junfeng stopped listening to Han Jingyun’s explanations. He went to a quiet place and carefully read the email He Yanzi had sent him.
Only after listening to all the audio recordings and watching the videos did he realize—
the email had been scheduled to be sent.
In fact, he should have noticed it long ago.
He had simply chosen to ignore it.
Now, after watching those videos and listening to those recordings…
After seeing Han Jingyun’s true face clearly…
He could no longer deceive himself.
From the very beginning, he had been wrong.
Huo Junfeng’s eyes reddened. He stared at the familiar figure on his phone screen and murmured,
“Yanzi… would you still be willing to forgive me?”
A knock sounded on the door.
“President Huo, the forensic department has released the results. Would you like to see them?”
Huo Junfeng forced himself to pull together and opened the door.
“Give it to me.”
He almost snatched the folder and flipped through the pages until he reached the very last one.
When he saw that line, he froze completely.
The DNA extracted from the human tissue found at the scene shows a 99% match.
The deceased at the explosion site has been confirmed to be He Yanzi.
Yanzi…
Was she really dead?
The snow-white A4 paper slipped from Huo Junfeng’s hand. He staggered backward two steps and leaned against the wall, staring at those light, fluttering sheets as if they were man-eating monsters.
“Yanzi…”
Even at the moment he signed the divorce agreement, he had never truly thought about parting from her.
In Huo Junfeng’s life, there had only ever been one possible future—
a life spent together with He Yanzi.
But she was dead.
There was no longer anyone named He Yanzi in this world.
From now on, across vast clouds and endless miles, through twilight mountains and falling snow,
To whom could this lone shadow turn?
Huo Junfeng let out a heart-rending cry, like a cuckoo crying blood:
“Yanzi!”
The secretary was startled and quickly tried to comfort him.
“President Huo, the production procedures were all compliant, and the props had no issues. That means this explosion was not an accident.
You must pull yourself together and uncover the truth as soon as possible. Only by bringing the real culprit to justice can you give Madam an explanation—and allow her to rest in peace.”
Huo Junfeng suddenly raised his head. His eyes shone with a terrifying brightness.
“You’re right. I have to avenge Yanzi.”
Han Jingyun.
That old man Yao Hongtao who once bullied Yanzi.
Xue Panpan, who stole Yanzi’s resources.
Every single one of them—
he would not let a single person go.
He would make those who caused Yanzi’s death suffer a fate worse than death,
pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold,
and regret ever being born into this world.
