Lin Anni tugged the corner of her mouth into a smile, but it was filled with bitterness. "I know Lin Yu's worried about me. He's scared I'm depressed. I don't want to admit it, but... I probably am. The truth is, I just can't change my situation. I tried to fight back, but it didn't work. They're capital. And I'm just a bird with its wings cut off—I can't fly away."

Xu Tianzhi had tricked her into signing that 20-year contract with Tianfeng Entertainment. She thought joining the company would mean better benefits, better resources, more choices.

But what she got instead... was a glass of wine secretly drugged by Xu Tianzhi.

And then—a strange room.

There was a man inside. The CEO of Tianfeng Entertainment, Yao Mingshun.

Xu Tianzhi had sold her to Yao Mingshun for resources.

Even now, when Lin Anni thought back to that night, she still felt like she couldn't breathe.

She'd fought with everything she had. She didn't let him succeed—and she escaped that room.

She had a strong spirit. If she'd really been violated that night, then her body would've been lying there the next day.

Afterward, Lin Anni reported it to the police. But nothing came of it—Xu Tianzhi had covered his tracks too well.

The whole thing was buried.

But from that point on, they were furious that she went to the cops. They forced her clothes off, took indecent photos of her, and used them to threaten her constantly—waiting for the moment she'd finally give in.

But Lin Anni never would. Even if it meant the rest of her life ended here, she would never bow to that old bastard.

"Don't worry," Yu Qianxia said firmly, squeezing her hand tighter. "I know where Xu Tianzhi keeps his backups. I'll help you wipe them out completely."

"As for that scumbag Yao Mingshun, I'll gather all the evidence and drag him to court!"

"Your future will get back on track. It's going to be bright again—always full of sunshine."

Lin Anni was opening up for the first time about all the years of suppression and helplessness she'd kept bottled up.

That heavy, stifling weight pressing on her chest finally started to lift, and she felt a whole lot lighter inside.

"Thanks, Qianxia. After talking to you, I feel way more relaxed." Lin Anni slowly pulled up a smile. "Thanks for coming to help me..."

Yu Qianxia took a sip of her coffee. "It's all fate. If Lin Yu hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have started looking into this either."

"Now that I know, I can't just sit back and do nothing."

Lin Anni stared at her for a few seconds, and the corners of her lips lifted a little more. She used to be just like this—righteous, fearless, ready to take on anything. After spending so many years in the entertainment industry, she'd seen plenty of shady backroom deals. But back then, she had the confidence and courage to say no.

This time, though, a twenty-year agency contract had crushed her into what she was now.

But maybe it was finally time to pull herself back together.

Yu Qianxia knew that Xu Tianzhi had saved a copy of Lin Anni's photos on a USB drive, with a backup encrypted on his cloud.

Even though she had the gossip system, when it came to stuff like account passwords and personal privacy, the system still wouldn't cross that moral line to hack them.

But for a scumbag like him, did morals even matter?

After some convincing from Yu Qianxia, the system decided she had a point and immediately started cracking Xu Tianzhi's account.

Not long after, Yu Qianxia had the username and password for Xu Tianzhi's cloud account. She sent them to Lin Anni so she could delete the files herself.

As for the USB drive, Yu Qianxia suddenly thought of Yan Jin, who was great at sneaking around. She reached out to him on WeChat. After handing He Jinran over to the cops last time, Yan Jin had gone back to A City.

Yu Qianxia gave him a quick rundown of the situation, and with his sense of justice flaring up, Yan Jin agreed right away.

Xu Tianzhi was filming at a set in A City. He was pretty cautious and carried the USB drive on him all the time.

But that caution actually worked in their favor—if he'd locked it in a safe or something, it wouldn't have been nearly as easy to get.

Now that it was in his backpack, for someone with Yan Jin's sk**ls, sneaking in and grabbing it was no big deal.

With the gossip system giving the exact location of the USB, Yan Jin had it in his hands in less than fifteen minutes.

Once she had the USB, Yu Qianxia still passed it on to Lin Anni to handle herself.

Now that the photos were gone, that layer of threat was finally lifted. Lin Anni could face what came next without worrying about someone holding that over her.

Yu Qianxia said, "Actually, exposing them is easy. All I need is your help. Pretend to agree to their terms, wear a recorder, and get it all on tape. Then hand it over to the police."

Lin Anni nodded. "Alright!"

The original plan was to have Lin Anni take the risk, but right after Yu Qianxia left her place, she ran into Xu Tianzhi coming out of the filming base next door—with a slim, delicate girl walking beside him.

Yu Qianxia stared at them for a few seconds. She only looked away after they got in the car and drove off. In that moment, she suddenly changed her mind.

Yu Qianxia: [System, come out and eat some melon.]

The system popped up immediately, [What melon? What kind?]

Yu Qianxia stared at the car driving off into the distance and smirked slightly. [Let's gossip about Yan Zhirou.]

System: [Whoa? She's up to trouble again?]

Even after everything crashed down on Yan Zhirou, she still wasn't giving up?

Yu Qianxia was curious too. What else could she possibly try now?

Things weren't the same anymore—Yan Zhirou's Fortune-Stealing System had lost a ton of its power, and now her system could easily sniff out the real gossip around her.

In just a few seconds, the system dug something up, [Whoa! Yan Zhirou actually latched onto Xu Tianzhi. After she broke off her contract with Xingmang Entertainment and got blacklisted by Madame Chu, she had nowhere left to go. After asking around, the only option left was Tianfeng Entertainment.]

[So she tried everything to cozy up to Xu Tianzhi, who has some pull at Tianfeng. Yan Zhirou basically threw herself at him, and of course he was all for it. Now the two of them have plans to meet with Yao Mingshun from Tianfeng Entertainment tonight.]
