It was embarrassing to say but Li ZiChen was playing the part of the rationality that her head had shooed off out of shock.
He was correct. These were evidence. Though in her eyes it was nothing more than torture, there were other victims who would have different idea and would perhaps need this to win against OuYang, while others could perhaps be free from their fear knowing now that the video won’t be in anyone else’s hands.
She covered her face with both her palms, trying to snap out of it. This entire night she was being pushed from one situation to the next and the extre situation wasn’t great to her ntal health which was as thin as a thread that was going to snap with anything heavier than a butterfly’s weight.
Though she believed she had beca stronger, perhaps what was strong was only her physical ability. She was still the sa weak AiLin and that thought torture her more than she could handle now.
Stop it. Self pity is more embarrassing than losing her mind. She had gone through worse but weren’t there more people who had gone through more? They still could hold to themselves well unlike her and what she was doing now was nothing more than putting sha to herself.
After a heavy sigh, AiLin look up to the boxes and muttered, "You’re right," she seed to have cool off after the brief reflection on her own head, "I really am not thinking straight about this, I must have lost my mind."
Li ZiChen knitted his eyebrows but he didn’t respond to her words.
"First, I need to find my own video," she said it out loud and sowhere expected Li ZiChen would question it but he remained silent as he went over the box on the far top that was harder to reach. They began to pull the boxes outside and she noticed that there were years written in it.
How much more revolting can OuYang be?
He had put everything so neatly as if it was his trophy. Everything was written so well and packed in a single tidy pile with the USB written with nas while the videos that were saved on his laptop were mostly recently as it was about to be moved to the USB with perspective na, date, and year on it. There was also a book that he kept with each na and video plans inside. The book also detailed how much money the victims had paid to him and how much more he think they could give until he decided their fate.
As she shuffled to the book, she noted that in the very first age was her own na.
Seeing it caused her fingers to flinch.
Written over it was a few na of people who had paid him. As her na was the only one written in pencil, most of the details were smudged. There was Lu Ping’s na in it and a few other nas of people who had participate in his ugly plan and Jiang NianNian’s na written as one of the people who had bought the video. She narrowed her eyes when she reached the end of the note saying that there was another person who had bought the video but the na was smudged for good.
"What the hell.." she muttered as she wasn’t aware that Jiang NianNian had bought the video. She had always been sick in the head so she wasn’t entirely surprised that she would be rejoicing over the misery she had gone through but for her to buy the video?
Li ZiChen who stood behind her had also read what was written. He moved forward, his finger then landed on the smudged na, "Soone else’s na was here."
She turned to him and was startled when his face was closer than she expected. His sharp nose poked her cheeks and her lips were only a paper away which reminded their kiss. She could still feel his thick coarse tongue and that almost made her want to reenact the situation. But she gathered her attention as quickly as possible back on the book, ignoring the brush of heat.
"I don’t know, it was smudged by the ti. I doubt OuYang would rember the na," she sighed while ruffling her hair.
"We can still ask him after his tongue is healed," Li ZiChen smiled softly to assure her and he patted her back, "Year 20xx? Was that when the video was made?"
She saw him pulling a box and she tilted her head after his statent, "You know the year of the video?"
His movents halted but he didn’t look back at her as he said, "It was written in the book you’re holding."
She turned back and saw that he was correct. Without minding it much, she stood up and nodded as he pulled out the box from the top of the shelf and then placing it down in front of her. There was the oldest model of USB that caught her attention and once she caught it, there was her na. She held to the USB tightly when Li ZiChen reached out his hand, "Can I destroy it?"
"Ah," she did want to destroy it before he asked so she didn’t ask much and passed it to his hand. "Sure." He took the USB tight on his hand and then placed it down on the ground before crushing it down with his feet, stepping on it hard enough until it was destroyed to smithereens. Seeing all the black chips flying around, AiLin closed her eyes as she recalled all those ugly mories being wiped away. Though it doesn’t completely disappear and it would haunt her again tis to tis, at least it wouldn’t have any hold to her future anymore.
"The rest of the videos," AiLin said while looking at the boxes, "How do we bring this?"
"I’ll drop it to their respective places," Li ZiChen said to ease her, "Don’t bother yourself with the aftermath. anwhile, what will you do to OuYang now?"
"Release him," AiLin humd and seeing him frown she patted his shoulder with a wider grin, "Don’t worry, I won’t release him simply because I think it’s over. Even without his tongue, he can still write if he has hands. I hope that nail will already severe his throat or vocal cord. It will be better if it cut his tongue for good."
"That ans you still have sothing planned out for him, right?"
She nodded as she lifted her face to the boxes, "Do you think this would be enough to make those people who back him up on his business to step back and wash their hands off the problem?"
"Certainly," Li ZiChen confird firmly and scoffed, "Though they can manipulate the evidences, if this news reach the reporters first, they won’t be able to help OuYang at all. But really? Only prison?"
AiLin shook her head, "No." as she stepped out she found the unconscious OuYang on the floor and spread her arms to the sky, "Let’s take all his money. All. We have all the ti in the world. Let’s take everything."
