Pei Zhou looked up at her.
The eyes that had once been gentle and indulgent now held nothing but undisguised disgust.
“What I mean is—”
“You don't deserve to touch anything that belongs to her.”
Lin Wantang suddenly took a step back.
“System!”
“He knows!”
The system immediately issued a piercing alarm.
【Abnormal signal detected!】
【The mission is at risk.
Host, withdraw immediately!】
Lin Wantang turned and tried to run.
But the gates around the wedding venue closed simultaneously.
All signals on the island were cut off.
The people who had been sitting among the guests stood up in unison.
The outermost layer was Pei Zhou's security team.
Inside them were police officers.
Lin Wantang panicked.
“Pei Zhou, are you insane?”
“Today is our wedding!”
Pei Zhou walked toward her one step at a time.
“Our wedding?”
“You really thought I'd marry a murderer?”
The giant screens around them lit up simultaneously.
On the screens, Lin Wantang was sitting in the bridal chamber, talking to the system.
“About the car accident that year, are you sure you didn't leave any evidence?”
【The vehicle involved in the accident was destroyed, and its repair records were also deleted.】
【The person in charge of inspecting the vehicle at the time also died unexpectedly three years ago.】
Every word rang clearly throughout the wedding venue.
Lin Wantang's entire body trembled.
“That's impossible.”
“How can you hear the system's voice?”
Pei Zhou didn't answer.
Six years ago, after my accident, every clue had mysteriously been erased.
The car whose brakes had failed suddenly caught fire on the way to be inspected.
The person responsible for repairing it disappeared without a trace.
Even the surveillance cameras on the bridge happened to malfunction for exactly ten minutes around the time of my accident.
Everyone told Pei Zhou to accept that it had been an accident.
But he didn't believe it.
So for six years, he had spent countless amounts of money and effort searching for anomalies that couldn't be explained by ordinary circumstances.
Until six months ago.
He finally detected a special type of signal that only appeared around Lin Wantang.
From that moment on, he began to hear the system's voice.
Lin Wantang thought she had been fooling him.
In reality, from the very first day she stepped into this bridal chamber, she had already fallen into Pei Zhou's trap.
Pei Zhou looked at her.
“You bribed the repair technician and sabotaged Suìsuì's brakes.”
“Then you killed him to silence him.”
“I've found all the bank transfer records and call recordings.”
The blood drained from Lin Wantang's face.
She suddenly lunged toward Pei Zhou.
“It wasn't me!”
“The system forced me!”
“It said that unless Jiang Sui died, I couldn't become the female lead!”
“Pei Zhou, I only did it because I loved you too much!”
Pei Zhou stepped aside.
Lin Wantang fell heavily to the ground.
She struggled to raise her head.
“Didn't you already let her go?”
“You threw away all her things.”
“You renovated the bridal chamber, and you even agreed to marry me yourself!”
“Fake.”
Pei Zhou cut her off.
Lin Wantang froze.
“What?”
“Those belongings were never thrown away.”
“The wedding bed wasn't destroyed either.”
“After the truck carrying everything left, it was all moved to a warehouse on the island.”
I stared at him in a daze.
So I had followed that truck all that way.
Crying like an idiot.
But not a single one of my belongings had been thrown away.
Pei Zhou looked at her, not a trace of warmth in his eyes.
“If I hadn't made you believe that I'd let Suìsuì go—”
“How could whatever was behind you ever have let down its guard?”
The system's alarm grew increasingly frantic.
【Host, complete the wedding immediately!】
【As long as you make the male lead say ‘I do,’ I will gain authority over the world!】
Lin Wantang suddenly scrambled to her feet and grabbed Pei Zhou's hand.
“Pei Zhou, say you do!”
“Say it now!”
Pei Zhou pried her fingers away one by one.
“In this lifetime, I've only ever said ‘I do’ to one person.”
“Her name was Jiang Sui.”
Lin Wantang screamed.
A blinding white light suddenly burst from her body.
The flowers surrounding them withered rapidly.
The sky darkened in an instant.
The system's cold voice echoed across the entire island.
【Mission failed.】
【Forced correction initiated.】
【Deleting the original female lead, Jiang Sui.】
A violent pain swept through my entire body.
My spirit began to dissolve from my fingertips.
I lowered my head and looked at my increasingly transparent hand, suddenly feeling afraid.
I hadn't even had time to tell Pei Zhou.
I knew he had never forgotten me.
I hadn't even told him myself.
I had never blamed him.
Just as the white light rushed toward me, the device in front of Pei Zhou suddenly activated.
Countless streams of blue electricity intertwined into a net, trapping the white light tightly.
The system let out a piercing shriek.
【Warning!】
【Warning!】
【Unknown capture device detected!】
Lin Wantang lunged forward, trying to destroy the machine.
But the police pinned her to the ground.
She struggled desperately, her veil falling into the mud and water.
“Let me go!”
“I am the female lead of this world!”
“Pei Zhou belongs to me!”
Pei Zhou lowered his head and looked at her.
“You're nothing.”
“You're just a murderer.”
