Of course, what the police didn’t say was that Yu Yao wasn’t in the video and photos that were sold the most.

When it came to the people interested in these kinds of photos and videos, Yu Yao, who was in a coma, couldn’t arouse their desire.

This was something worth celebrating for Yu Yao, but for some victims, it meant even greater harm.

Yu Lang also understood what the ‘leads’ of those videos had experienced. He sympathized with the victims, but at this moment, he was more concerned about his younger sister.

“Is there any way to retrieve all of Yu Yao’s photos and videos?”

The police officer didn’t dare to make any guarantees. He just said, “We’ve already done everything we can. We’ve destroyed all the files that we could find online. In the future, if someone uploads or disseminates them again online, we can track and destroy them. However, someone might have stored the videos and photos on a portable hard drive.”

Yu Lang took a deep breath and suppressed the intense anger in his heart. He said evenly, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for my sister. We’re very grateful. If you need our cooperation, please don’t stand on ceremony.”

At this moment, Yu Yao seemed to have recovered from her thoughts. She also said to the police, “Thank you for your hard work. I hope that you’ll find out the truth as soon as possible and uphold justice for all the victims.”

“That’s our duty,” said the policemen.

After leaving the police station, Yu Yao took Yu Lang’s car home.

There were only the two of them in the car. Yu Yao, who had been looking out the window, suddenly said, “Yu Lang, how much do you think Yu Wan was involved?”

After a long silence, Yu Lang said, “I don’t know.”

Yu Yao laughed lightly. “I thought you were going to say something like ‘Wanwan can’t be involved’, and then I might have had to cut ties with you today.”

Yu Lang let out a bitter laugh. “I’m not so stupid that I can’t see the truth. Actually, I had a vague idea that Yu Wan was connected to that mental hospital, but I didn’t expect so much to have been hidden.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Don’t blame yourself, I didn’t expect this either.” Yu Yao thought to herself that she had read the book and had an omniscient view of the plot. She hadn’t expected Yu Wan to be able to conceal herself so deeply. What could the other clueless characters know?

Yu Lang apologized again, his heart aching. “I’m sorry, Yaoyao. We almost caused you to suffer more serious injuries in the mental hospital.”

After a long silence, Yu Yao said, “I couldn’t speak for myself in the past, so I hope you can try your best to make up for it. Help the former me, help the other victims find the truth, and make everyone who should go to hell go to hell.”

Although she hadn’t forgiven him, Yu Yao’s attitude was reassuring. Yu Lang promised, “Yaoyao, you can trust me. Whether it’s out of my sense of justice or just out of my guilt towards you, I won’t let you down.”

Yu Yao did not answer, but she thought that if Yu Lang could really do what he said, then he would be worthy of being the elder brother that the original body she was now in longed to worship.

For the next few days, whenever there were no classes, Yu Yao would lock herself in her room. She stayed by her computer all day long and was busy with something.

Yu Jue shamelessly barged into Yu Yao’s room. After staring at her for a long time, he felt an inexplicable sense of awe and fear towards his younger sister, who was staring at flashing lines of code on the screen.

Yu Jue instinctively felt that Yu Yao was performing a miracle!

Finally, it was time for the press conference before the filming of the variety show officially began. This was a very important part of the publicity strategy.

Xuanwu Video Platform’s entertainment reporters would ask all sorts of questions that the guests could not handle. Then, through live broadcasts, they would present a lively scene to the audience and prehype the variety show that would be broadcast later.

During the press conference, the reporters became more concerned about the celebrity guests than their families who were filming with them. Among all the celebrity guests, Yu Jue received the most attention.

In the face of the reporters’ questions, Yu Jue was very calm, contrasting his lack of propriety at home. In fact, when some reporters asked Yu Yao trick questions, Yu Jue would answer them on her behalf, so Yu Yao found the press conference rather easy.

Just as the live broadcast of the press conference was about to end, the reporters who had been paying attention to the netizens’ reactions suddenly went into an uproar.

A female reporter, who was the first to react, stood up and asked Yu Yao, “Miss Yu Yao, could you answer a question yourself?”

Yu Yao seemed to have predicted the storm sweeping towards her, so she only nodded calmly. “Sure, ask away.”

The female reporter showed the tablet computer in her hand to all the guests and viewers of the livestream. “May I ask when and under what circumstances you took this photo? Do you have some secret hobby?”

The woman in the photo was completely naked.. Her limbs and body were tightly bound by red ropes. Her snow-white skin was covered with whip marks, but her face, which looked exactly like Yu Yao’s, had a twisted and happy expression…
