Ling Sheng did not know what the production team and investors had told Xiaxia. In the end, she decided to cover up this incident and compromise.

She knew that this world's standards for women were too harsh. The general social circ.u.mstances had created the current environment, and not many women who had been raped dared to speak up.

Many times, people would only criticize the victims, not the criminals.

No matter what she chose to do, Ling Sheng would respect her choice. Her life had just started. If this incident was exposed, there would be no place for her in the entertainment circle anymore. In fact, people would only point their fingers at her for the rest of her life.

If she needed help, she would do her best to help her.

Xiaxia's scenes were basically over. The last few scenes would not affect the whole movie because she could not act. The script was changed and a subst.i.tute was used.

Jun s.h.i.+yan had told her to give him three days. Three days.

Three days later, a few men who had committed murder were caught. They were all local gangsters.

An Yan went to the hospital and asked Xiaxia for her opinion. She said she wanted to go there personally.

At night, An Yan drove over to fetch her. The four men were tied to chairs and had been gagged.

They were local hooligans who had been hired and given 200,000 each. They did not know the mastermind. It had been an online transaction.

The few of them were well-known hooligans in the area. They had all kinds of vices, including food, alcohol, prost.i.tution, and gambling. This was not the first time they had stopped someone to commit a crime spontaneously. Many a time, they committed crimes as a gang.

Most women were bound by moral constraints and did not dare call the police. Even if someone did call the police, they would not be caught. That was why they had gotten away with it until that day.

When Xiaxia walked out, her face was covered in blood. She looked at An Yan, her body trembling uncontrollably. In a hoa.r.s.e voice, she asked, “Where is she?”

An Yan said, “Ms. Ling said that if the film crew threatens you, you can tell them that she will help you.”

“No one has threatened me. I volunteered.” Xiaxia looked up at the stars in the sky, her eyes welling with tears.

“The people in the house will be punished by the law. They can forget about ever getting out of prison.” An Yan looked at the girl in front of him with sympathy in his eyes.

She was a good girl. Now that she had encountered such a situation, he hoped that she could pull herself together!

Xiaxia nodded and tried her best to hold back her tears. In a choked voice, she said, “Help me tell her I'm sorry.”

The animals in the house had said that the mastermind had told them to find Ling Sheng. That person had said that they had been looking for Ling Sheng, but the hooligans had been ordered to do it instead.

So, who was it?

Why had that person ruined their relations.h.i.+p?

After what she had said that day, there was no way she could turn back time.

In the future, everyone should just live their own fine life!

After saying that, Xiaxia walked out of the yard. There was a car at the door that she had arranged for. The chauffeur invited her in, and she nodded to express her grat.i.tude.

She turned around. Through the back window, she could clearly see a low-key black Bentley parked by the roadside. It was the Third Master's car.

So, she had still come.

Xiaxia leaned against the seat, tears falling from her eyes as she sobbed silently.

If they had a chance to meet in the future, if time diluted everything, she would be able to let this go and find her personally to apologize.

In An Yan's opinion, when a woman was ruthless, men were unnecessary. Xiaxia looked gentle and weak, but he had not expected her to be so bold. Perhaps it was due to extreme hatred that she'd wanted to kill them all to vent her anger.
