Extras 9

“Miss Ling, you have to come to the police station with us.”

At the door of a small duplex, the police rang the doorbell. After the door was opened, the young policeman quickly blocked the door with one foot when the other party wanted to shut in a panic.

“You… police, you came to the wrong person!”

It was none other than Ling Shuang who opened the door. Her figure had returned to normal, and her face was akin to an internet celebrity who had undergone plastic surgery. Although she looked beautiful at first glance, upon close up, she looked a bit scary.

The police remained. “You are suspected of illegally stalking others and infringing on another person’s privacy.”

“I didn’t!” Ling Shuang screamed. “Who is saying this nonsense!?”

But the male policeman was experienced. “Please cooperate with the investigation, otherwise…” he trailed off and showed his police ID.

That sentence alone frightened the timid Ling Shuang and she anxiously went with them.

At the police station, the police pulled up a video that made Ling Shuang sweat. At the back door of the cinema for the premiere of ‘Seven Years’, there was  a group of fierce-looking, muscular men with tattooed arms, smoking cigarettes. This group of people were spotted again at the maternity hospital where Yu Yaoyao was admitted.

“What’s your relationship with them?” The male policeman asked sharply.

“No relationship! I don’t know them!” Ling Shuang shook her head frantically, but her heart felt like it sunk into an ice hole.

The male policeman smiled contemptuously. Then, he clicked the mouse a few times and found the other end of the CCTV. “In this current age, there are HD cameras along the roads,” he said. “Think about it carefully, and then answer.”

The recording was indeed in high definition. Even when Ling Shuang was under the guise of a hat, mask and sunglasses, it was crystal clear.

“It’s not me…” she denied. Ling Shuang’s voice trembled a little.

The male policeman laughed again. “Seems like you won’t admit your doing until all the evidence is shown. You’re not the person in this shirt? Where were you that day?”

“I was at home!” Ling Shuang shouted, wringing her hands.

The male policeman smiled and brought up another surveillance camera. It was the scene where Ling Shuang walked out of the gate of the community. Although she was completely covered, she was still captured by the camera at the intersection.

“Miss, we live in a high-tech society. Please tell the truth.”

Ling Shuang’s body was cold, and she couldn’t stop shaking. It was obviously summer, but she seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit that was excruciatingly icy and biting!

“Hurry up and explain the situation. Don’t waste our time. It’s useless,” the police said again.

Ling Shuang’s teeth were chattering.

Why was she so unlucky?

Why?!

She was exposed by Yu Yaoyao, lost Chen Jiao’s protection, and finally, forced out of the entertainment industry by him and Shen Yichong. Even though the industry was big, there had been no place for her. She desperately tried to lose weight frantically and used all her savings for plastic surgery… when all that was done, she hooked up with an elderly coal mine owner. The price given by the other party was very high.  As long as she was obedient, she would not lack anything. The money would even be enough for her to… find some people and do something daring.

Ling Shuang was beyond upset. She cursed her bad luck. ‘Why does Yu Yaoyao get everything?’ she thought, indignant. ‘Why does Yu Yaoyao get Shen Yichong even though she’s only a talentless beauty?!’

“It wasn’t like this in the previous life…. She and Shen Yichong divorced. That child, Shen Rui, was dead! She was paralyzed in the hospital; it’s impossible to give birth to a second child. This child didn’t exist at all!” she screamed maniacally.

Little Sweetheart? Impossible!

“I’m not wrong! I just continued how things should have been!” she wailed. “I am right!!” Ling Shuang’s face that had undergone too much plastic surgery distorted as she spoke furiously.

The young male policeman frowned and looked at her. “Are you mentally ill? Have you ever seen a doctor?”

Ling Shuang raised her face. No… she was not insane; Yu Yaoyao was an anomaly!

In her last life, she had successfully married Shen Yichong. She seduced him and got him! She lived a happy life with him, becoming Mrs. Shen, the envy of all women. She had everything… However, within half a year of their marriage, she discovered that she had done something wrong, which eventually led to happiness becoming an illusory bubble.

She separated Shen Rui from his nanny. Then, she deliberately got someone to call her away, so that a car accident could happen…  Originally, she just wanted to scare Shen Rui, so that he would not continue to stubbornly reject her. She wanted to let him accept her as a new mother and let Shen Yichong like her more.

However, it unexpectedly caused an irreversible accident. But later, she learned that Shen Yichong married her just to investigate the truth. After getting drunk once, she told the truth and fell into despair! Even to this day, she couldn’t forget the terrifying expression on his face. It looked like he was about to swallow a person alive.

But even with such an accident, the law couldn’t punish her. So… even though Shen Yichong hated her to death, there was nothing he could do.

But if she didn’t want a divorce, he also wouldn’t get a divorce. He would let her get everything she wanted, then he let her watch him destroy them one by one with his own hands. He said he would let her experience the pain of loss little by little. He wanted her to experience endless despair. In that life, she had no children of her own; she couldn’t even see Shen Yichong at night. Imprisoned in the villa, she lived a life where no one would help her no matter how much she begged.

In the end, she committed suicide. At that point, only suicide could relieve her fears.

When Ling Shuang remembered those things, her hand couldn’t help  but tremble. She fought for so long in her last life, but in the end, she ended up with a worse but similar ending than Yu Yaoyao.

However, she didn’t expect that she would come back to life! Once more, she was back to the time when she and Shen Yichong still hadn’t met.

“Isn’t this life another chance that God has given me!?” Ling Shuang pulled the young male policeman’s sleeve tightly. Her voice was sharp and crazed. “God sent me back! Back to the time when nothing had happened yet! Shen Rui isn’t dead! I didn’t do anything wrong! Is it wrong for me to enjoy this life?!”

The best man, a child, glory, wealth, money, house and cars – all the things she didn’t get in her previous life – shouldn’t God compensate her for it?

This time, she approached Shen Yichong at her best. She didn’t dare anger him; she tried her best to please him so that he would notice her talent and inner beauty. Wasn’t it enough to make up for the mistakes in her previous life?  Yet, why was fate’s trajectory completely different from the last time? How come Yu Yaoyao and Shen Yichong did not divorce? Why did they have a second child?

“That child… that child should belong to me and Shen Yichong!” Ling Shuang screamed, her fingernails cut into the male policeman’s hand.

The young male policeman had never encountered such a situation before. He quickly pinned Ling Shuang’s arms behind her back. “Captain, captain! This woman is probably nuts! Should we call a doctor for identification?”

“I’m not crazy! I’m not! I have God’s favor!” Ling Shuang continued screaming, “In this life, I should be Mrs. Shen! Yu Yaoyao is the one who deserves to die!”

The passing police captain glanced at her and shook his head. “Contact her family. After the investigation is clear, have her detained or sent to a mental hospital if needed.”

“Not… I’m not sick! I’m destined to make a comeback in this life!”

“Well, she seems seriously ill. I’ll call Mr. Shen and update him on the situation again.”

The captain didn’t even bother to look at her again.
