[Ahhh, I'm going crazy! Yan Zhirou, why do you keep deceiving us!]

[How malicious! How dare she market herself as beautiful and kind-hearted? The charity event this afternoon was all just for show! I'm sick of it!]

[I knew Yan Zhirou wasn't that kind-hearted. No surprise there.]

[Yan Zhirou's treated pretty well by the Yu family, so how come she couldn't even come up with five million? She had to have fans donate for her? This kind of move is something only Yan Zhirou could think of. It's disgusting.]

[If I still believe in you, I'm an idiot! Last time unfollowing you! Never supporting you again!]

On the other side, in the Yan Zhirou fan group.

[Cheng An'an: I'm unfollowing her. I won't like her anymore. She doesn't deserve our admiration.]

Cheng An'an's message exploded in the group.

Fans quickly began responding: [What happened, president? Why are you unfollowing her?]

[What's going on?]

[What happened?! You're unfollowing her?]

Cheng An'an looked at the barrage of confused questions in the group and sighed deeply. Maybe the wrongdoings she'd done would eventually come to light one day. As the saying goes: "Heaven's net is vast, but nothing escapes it."

Cheng An'an suddenly calmed herself, her expression becoming serene. She calmly typed the following words.

She laid bare all the things she had done over the years.

[Cheng An'an: Actually, I've been helping Yan Zhirou do bad things.]

[Cheng An'an: I helped her smear Yu Qianxia, pretending to be Yu Qianxia's hater to guide the haters to attack her, I helped her release marketing articles, I helped her manage the fanbase... Yan Zhirou is not as simple and kind as she appears. She's more scheming than anyone!]

[Cheng An'an: The scandals she's had online are all true!]

Cheng An'an's words left the fan group in complete shock.

Those who had still chosen to trust Yan Zhirou were now facing a total collapse of their beliefs.

[Help! So the idol I've loved for so many years is actually such a terrible person!]

The fans who had followed Cheng An'an eventually unfollowed as well, one by one.

Some even took screenshots of the group's chat logs and posted them online, ruthlessly turning on Yan Zhirou.

Yan Zhirou scrolled through the trending topics on the internet, which were flooding in like a tidal wave. She was overwhelmed by a sense of unprecedented panic. When she saw the screenshot of the fan group chat, her head rang with a buzzing sound.

What was happening?

Cheng An'an betrayed her?

Cheng An'an actually betrayed her!

Yan Zhirou shook her head frantically. Impossible! Anyone could stop believing in her, but Cheng An'an could never do that!

Yan Zhirou, as if losing her mind, dialed Cheng An'an's number, but unfortunately, all she heard was "The number you have dialed is out of service..."

Cheng An'an actually blocked her?

What was going on?!

After the shock and panic passed, a wave of fear surged in Yan Zhirou's heart—an instinctive fear, a fear that rose from the very depths of her soul.

Could it be that... that secret...

Had it been discovered too?

Yan Zhirou's face instantly turned deathly pale.

She sat on the edge of the bed, her body trembling faintly.

It couldn't be. She had the Fortune-Stealing System protecting her, covering up the truth. No one in this world would ever know her secret.

That incident was just an accident, a mere accident. Yan Zhirou hadn't even taken it seriously.

Wait! No!

Yu Qianxia!

Yan Zhirou suddenly lifted her head, her lips trembling, the color drained from her lips, cracked and peeling.

She tightly clenched her fists. No, even if Yu Qianxia had found something, she wouldn't be able to find any evidence.

It had been so many years, the evidence had long been destroyed.

Right, Yu Qianxia couldn't find any evidence!

With that thought, Yan Zhirou finally relaxed.

But the warning sound of the Fortune-Stealing System still rang in her ears.

Suddenly, a mechanical roar came through, [Idiot! What are you doing!?]

Yan Zhirou's body jolted.

The system let out a distorted wail, the sound of it crashing as her fortune was about to hit zero.

[Wait!] Yan Zhirou cried out urgently.

But the luck loss was beyond her control now, and she could only watch helplessly as the years of hard-earned fortune disappeared in an instant.

[Ding—Luck cleared.]

[System and host are being unbound...]

[Ding—Energy lost, system being destroyed...]

The mechanical voice was filled with deep resentment and anger, but none of it could be reversed now.

Yan Zhirou stood frozen in place, everything happening so suddenly that she hadn't even had time to process why Cheng An'an had betrayed her.

The Fortune-Stealing System had been destroyed overnight?

Could the secret she had been hiding still be kept?

At that moment, she vaguely heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.

The next second, Yan Yanhua pushed the door open, and behind her was a uniformed police officer.

Yan Yanhua looked grim, her mouth pressed tightly together.

The police officer took a step forward, his face stern as he said, "Hello, Miss Yan. We've received a report that you are involved in a hit-and-run accident. Please come with us."

At that moment, Yan Zhirou's face went white, and she almost collapsed.

"No! I didn't!" Yan Zhirou denied vehemently. "Do you have any evidence? Why should you take me away?"

The police officer frowned, about to say something else, when—

Yan Zhirou suddenly felt a familiar yet foreign sense of control surge through her body. She abruptly spoke, though her words were beyond her control. "I hit Cheng Kaiyun all those years ago, and I destroyed the surveillance footage. How could you possibly have evidence!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Yan Yanhua's face went pale in shock, and the police officer looked equally surprised.

Only Yan Zhirou herself, clutching her throat, looked like she had just realized the gravity of what she had said, her face filled with the terror of a person resigned to their fate.

Meanwhile, in her bedroom, Yu Qianxia, sipping tea, clearly heard the commotion coming from the next room.
