Comrade Shui Wa anonymously reported, and a group of police officers arrived at Gu Junyi's villa to search.
This caught him off guard. Without any help, he was unable to deal with Zhao Manjia. As long as that woman was alive, he could not shift the blame to others.
After some thought, he hid Zhao Jinsi in his arms, transferred a sum of money to Shui Wa's previous account, and prepared to escape at any moment.
"Officer Huang, please sit."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, but we won't be sitting. This is a search warrant. Please take a look. If there are no issues, we'll begin our work."
"Please help yourselves, but I'm feeling a bit dizzy, so I won't be accompanying you. Please let Butler Wang accompany you on the search."
Officer Huang: "That won't do. As the person concerned, you must accompany us."
Gu Junyi held his head, looking as if he might collapse. "If you don't trust me, you can leave one officer to watch me. I'm really quite dizzy."
Officer Huang had no choice but to have one officer guard his bedroom door.
The villa was very large. It took Officer Huang and his team a long time to find Zhao Manjia. Her condition was so tragic that several officers couldn't bear to look.
Officer Huang immediately had her sent to the hospital and then notified the officer guarding Gu Junyi to proceed with the arrest.
As soon as the young officer entered the bedroom, Gu Junyi was nowhere to be found. He immediately reported the situation to Officer Huang.
The officer inquired with the security guard and learned that an hour ago, Gu Junyi had greeted him as usual before leaving the villa.
Officer Huang immediately accessed the surrounding surveillance footage and dispatched officers to pursue and arrest him along his route.
Several officers found him as he was about to deliver the mouse in his arms to Xie Anmu's villa.
"Please, beg her to open the door. I have something very important to ask of her, please."
The security guard was terrified and kept helping him up.
"Mr. Gu, please don't do this. Miss Xie is not at home; she should be out shopping with her pets."
"Where does she usually like to shop? This is really important to me, please."
Seeing the police car, he immediately made a desperate dash. Three officers got out of the car and finally subdued him.
"Please don't do this. Let me deliver her, just for a little while."
"We'll talk about it at the station."
He was immediately handcuffed and placed in the back seat of the police car, flanked by two officers.
Zhao Manjia was very agitated, her hands gesturing wildly. An officer gave her paper and a pen, which she immediately held in her mouth and wrote on the paper: "The murderer is Gu Junyi."
"Miss Zhao, please rest assured. The law will not let any guilty person go unpunished. Focus on your recovery, and we will definitely bring the culprit to justice."
Zhao Manjia nodded vigorously, showing the first smile she had had in days. When the door opened today, she heard so many footsteps.
She had almost thought Gu Junyi was tired of playing and was preparing to end her life. She never expected it to be the police; heaven was finally on her side.
Neither of them would meet a good end. It felt so satisfying to think about it. After so much entanglement, this ill-fated relationship was finally coming to an end.
Gu's father and mother were shocked when they received the news. They never imagined Gu Junyi could do such a thing.
With eyewitness testimony and physical evidence, Gu Junyi could not deny it. After seeing the photos the officer had taken, Gu's mother's scalp tingled.
She slapped Gu Junyi hard across the face. "Beast! Even if you didn't consider her your girlfriend, she was still a living person. How could you do such a thing?"
Her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and Gu's father looked solemn and grief-stricken, his usual jovial expression gone.
"Is this how I taught you? You weren't like this before, not like this! How did you suddenly become like this? What happened?"
"There's no 'why.' Just consider me inherently evil. I'm sorry, I've let down your hopes for me."
He lowered his head after speaking. His parents in this life had treated him exceptionally well, and he felt he had failed them.
"I'm sorry! You haven't failed me, you've failed Manjia, who is lying in bed. You were in love for a time, how could you be so heartless?"
"That love did not belong to her; she stole it, stole it. She deserved it."
Looking at his manic and paranoid state, everyone present was frightened. No matter what excuse he gave, they could not comprehend his perverse methods.
Gu's mother felt it was a waste of time to say another word to him and pulled Gu's father to leave.
Gu Junyi suddenly called out to her, "Mom, please. Help me just once. Help me take Sisi to Xie Anmu and ask her to take care of Sisi for me."
"I am not your mother, and I do not have a son like you."
Zhao Manjia's examination results were released. Her hand and leg bones were broken and could not be repaired. Both her ears were cut off, her eyes were gouged out, and she had extensive burns all over her body.
This was practically torture and murder, and the methods were extremely heinous. In the end, Gu Junyi was sentenced to life imprisonment. Zhao Jinsi refused to leave and stayed with him in prison.
"Sisi, you should leave. You are innocent, you can go outside. The environment here is not good, and I don't have the ability to get you good food."
Zhao Jinsi wrote on his hand: "I don't care about these things. It's enough that I can be by your side."
Seeing him interact with the rat, everyone thought he was crazy. Those who were imprisoned with him were no ordinary people.
Fights were common, and solitary confinement was also common. Zhao Jinsi was trampled to death by a prison bully who hated Gu Junyi.
Not long after Zhao Jinsi's death, Gu Junyi's eyes began to fester, and his body ached as if his skin and muscles were being torn off.
Even doctors could not help him. Reduced to a cripple, he was exploited and bullied by other inmates. His long years would be spent in pain.
Gu's father and mother regretted not raising their son properly. They gave Zhao Manjia a large sum of money and worked tirelessly for her.
However, Zhao Manjia did not appreciate it and would often throw tantrums. Gu's father and mother were very understanding of her current state and took meticulous care of her.
Jun Jiuli directly erased all their memories of Gu Junyi. The elderly couple had no descendants and possessed a large fortune.
At Gu's father's request, Gu's mother, relieved of her burdens, went to travel the world.
The money Zhao Manjia received was quietly returned to Gu's father and mother by Shui Wa. After being discharged from the hospital, she couldn't find a job and could only shrink away at home. After a few months, she could no longer bear her current life and ended it herself.
After completing all this, Jun Jiuli prepared to leave, and Er Gou returned to his own body. Xie Anmu gradually withdrew from the entertainment industry and took over Shengshi Group.
Although Er Gou was not very intelligent, Shui Wa left a small puppet modeled after it to accompany Xie Anmu.
That puppet would only disappear when she died, so the "snakes and rats in a nest" combination was always formidable. Xie Anmu lived a fulfilling life and would occasionally wonder what Shui Wa was doing.
Zhao Yueyue was very well-behaved during the second variety show. After Xie Anmu's identity was revealed, she dared not provoke her.
In one episode, there were three girls: Sun Qing was a singer, and she and Xie Anmu were actresses. That's why she kept trying to step on Xie Anmu.
She wanted to solidify her persona as forthright, pure, and kind, but unexpectedly lost a batch of fans due to the adverse effects.
She ultimately made frequent mistakes due to her low emotional intelligence. She acted in several films, but none of them made a splash.
She turned a very good start into a mess, and her agent felt she was not making progress and had offended too many people, so they abandoned her.
