Bai Ma Shan sat across from Zhang Lin, his eyes bloodshot and body feverish. Seeing Bai Ma Shan's flushed face as if he had a fever, Zhang Lin offered him a glass of water, but he refused.

Bai Ma Shan was terrified of water. He cowered, lowering his head, urging the police to take the water away quickly.

He had been craving water during this time, but he was also afraid of it. This dual impact of extreme desire and extreme fear had left his lips chapped and his whole being in a daze.

His eyes were dull, and he kept repeating, "I confess, I pushed that girl down. The yacht murder, the drug switching in the hospital, the poison in the letters, using the remote-controlled dog to kill people, it was all me. The false evidence to frame Jia Wenjun, that was me too."

Zhang Lin said coldly, "Bai Ma Shan, you keep saying you did it, but Zhao Di has already identified Bai Xun. Bai Xun is the one who impersonated Jia Wenjun, and he's the one who pushed Zhao Di into the sea."

Bai Ma Shan felt a throbbing pain in his head. He became emotional and suddenly roared, his teeth chattering, slamming his fists on the table. If he wasn't chained to the chair, he would have lunged forward to bite someone.

Seeing that something was wrong with him, Zhang Lin immediately called for a doctor.

When Bai Xun learned that his father had rabies, he felt as if his spirit had been drained, and he collapsed.

If there was still hope for treating AIDS, there was absolutely no hope for rabies.

The reason he came back was to pull his father out of this vortex, but he never expected this to be the result.

The devastated Bai Xun finally cooperated with the police and confessed everything.

"My dad and I planned everything because Zhao Di saw the girl fall from the building. I really didn't push her at the time. She was sitting by the railing, and I told her to come down. I reached out to pull her, but the dog suddenly lunged at her, and she lost her balance and fell. I couldn't prove my innocence at the time, and Zhao Di happened to see her fall, so I was afraid she would say I pushed her, and I tried to get rid of her."

"How did you plan the yacht incident?"

"My dad didn't win a spot on the boat at first, but he heard from Gong Dalong that Jia Wenjun and Zhao Di both got spots, so he bribed Gong Dalong to get a spot. We chose Jia Wenjun because she and Zhao Di were Lin Yang's ex and current girlfriend. Everyone in the neighborhood knew that. It was a natural rivalry, so if Zhao Di died, everyone would suspect her first. It was perfect to let her take the blame."

"Who was wearing the same clothes as Jia Wenjun in the video, the one who pushed Zhao Di?"

Bai Xun said expressionlessly, "It was me. She lived next door to us and liked to fish. She only had so much equipment and clothes. When we decided to let her take the blame, I had already prepared all her fishing clothes. When she went out, I saw what she was wearing from the peephole, and when I got on the boat, I wore the same clothes as her, with a wig that had the same hairstyle. When I pushed Zhao Di into the water, you couldn't tell the difference from behind."

"Why was there Zhao Di's hair on Jia Wenjun's clothes?" This was also an important piece of evidence for Jia Wenjun's conviction.

"At the time, Jia Wenjun drank the drugged wine and passed out on the deck, so I switched her clothes with the ones Jia Wenjun was wearing on the ground and put mine on her. When I pushed Zhao Di, I deliberately broke off some of her hair and left it on Jia Wenjun's clothes to frame her. After doing all this, I put the clothes back on Jia Wenjun."

Zhang Lin looked coldly at the sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy in front of him. "Where did you get the boat?"

"I dressed up as Jia Wenjun and bought it from a local fisherman using her name. My dad went to learn how to drive a boat and then taught me. We would deliberately wait until dusk when there were fishermen around to set sail, so they would see 'Jia Wenjun' and create the illusion that Jia Wenjun was going out to sea with accomplices."

"Lu Maowang opened his eyes in the video. Was he in on it with you?"

Bai Xun shook his head. "No. But he wasn't completely drunk at the time. My dad knocked him out from behind before he could realize what was happening. To prevent him from talking, my dad dragged him into the case as well, using his habit of sleeping with his eyes open to put him in the position of the cameraman."

"He had already passed out, and his eyes were still open?"

Bai Xun thought about the situation at the time and nodded. "My dad was holding him, his arm passing under his armpit, controlling Zhao Di's camera, while I was wearing Jia Wenjun's clothes by the side of the boat, pushing Zhao Di down, leaving you with evidence that Jia Wenjun pushed someone down."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes, looking like he had lost everything, resigning himself to his fate. "We thought we had done everything perfectly, but something happened with Anna, and the case never cooled down. We finally waited until Jia Wenjun was arrested, but Zhao Di was so lucky and came back. We originally wanted to drag them into the water, but we never expected to drown in it ourselves."

The things Bai Xun said were verified one by one. The premeditated murder case on the Shell was finally solved, and Bai Xun received the punishment he deserved.

After the truth was revealed, Jia Wenjun was acquitted and released, and Zhao Di was also discharged from the hospital.

At this time, Lin Yang was also released because the rich woman was still waiting for him, and even though she knew Zhao Di was okay, she still wanted to get a divorce immediately.

Zhao Di took the divorce certificate, found Jia Wenjun, and said excitedly, "I finally dumped that scumbag."

Jia Wenjun sincerely said, "Congratulations, you're finally free from the sea of suffering and managed to make him leave with nothing."

Zhao Di said with emotion, "Thank you for helping me. If it weren't for you, I might be dead now."

Jia Wenjun took out the transfer records and showed them to her. "Now that you're divorced, you should settle the money for the 'rich woman' and the props. She's leaving tonight."

"Of course, not only that, I'll also pay you back for the surgery you paid for." Zhao Di took out her phone and transferred money to Jia Wenjun, saying, "I'm selling the house as quickly as possible. I'm leaving, going to a new place to start over."

She smiled and looked at Jia Wenjun. "Seriously, I didn't expect you to use this kind of trick. I always thought you wouldn't use these kinds of methods."

Jia Wenjun gave a faint smile. "Use whatever tricks you need to deal with the right person. I didn't use them before, not because I couldn't, but because I didn't bother to."

Zhao Di never believed that she would one day have a life-or-death friendship with Jia Wenjun. Now, she trusted her unconditionally.

She asked, "Are we friends now?"

Jia Wenjun looked at the endless sea. "Does it matter if we're friends? Now that we've both emerged from this vortex, let's just take care of ourselves."

Zhao Di didn't force it. The two women smiled at each other and left in different directions.

One year later

Jia Wenjun returned to the city where she grew up with her parents and was accepted into the teaching position she had once given up.

On her first day of reporting, a motorcycle stopped in front of her building.

"What are you doing standing there? Get on the bike, you're going to be late."

Jia Wenjun looked at Wu Peng in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

She had returned here with her parents not long after the case ended, while Wu Peng had to stay at the original firm until the end of his internship, so they had been in a long-distance relationship.

Wu Peng handed her the motorcycle helmet. "It's my girlfriend's first day at work. Of course I have to take you there, so that other male teachers don't have any ideas about you."

Jia Wenjun smiled and took it, saying, "Did you take time off to come here? How did you have the motorcycle shipped over too?"

Wu Peng helped her put on the helmet, then cupped her head and went face to face with her. "My internship is over, and today is also my first day at work. We don't have to video call anymore. We can see each other whenever we want."

Jia Wenjun was stunned and said happily, "You found a job here?"

He looked at her smiling face in the helmet. "Yeah, it's at the law firm across the street from your school. I'll take you to and from work every day from now on."

Wu Peng and Grandpa had both moved here. After this incident, Grandpa no longer forced him to be a lawyer, but Wu Peng saw a direction in this profession and willingly threw himself into it.

Jia Wenjun looked at the love in his eyes and thought of a phrase: when bad luck turns to good.

The sun rose, and Wu Peng carried Jia Wenjun towards the rising sun, their figures coated with a layer of soft golden light, full of vitality and beauty. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
