Chapter 632: Acceptance

Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Acceptance

Shen Miao fell into silence, not speaking right away.

After a while, he said almost numbly, "I just wanted to make it big, to achieve my dreams..."

"Shen Miao, you keep talking about your dreams, do you still remember the dreams we spoke of when we first entered the industry together?" Ning Mu countered.

Shen Miao was stunned.

Memories of what had happened between him and Ning Mu flashed through his mind.

They were from the same school; it was he who had pursued Ning Mu first.

He and Ning Mu shared the same hobbies and ambitions, and they were incredibly compatible together.

Before entering the industry, he had told Ning Mu that he wanted them both to rise to fame together, to stand on the stage together, and to stay together till the end.

Even if no one else supported them, they would achieve all their dreams together.

But...

Shen Miao’s heart suddenly clenched tight, rendering him speechless.

Ning Mu looked at him, choked up for a moment, then said, "Shen Miao, I’ve never regretted it."

Shen Miao stiffened all over.

But Ning Mu didn’t look at him anymore, directly turning and floating out of the room.

Shang Junxiao looked at Ning Mu, then turned to Shen Miao, gradually calming down. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Shen Miao, actually, there’s something you may not know."

"I met with Ning Mu yesterday, and Ning Mu told me that he wanted to quit the industry and go back home. In fact, from the very beginning when you spoke to him, he had thought about helping you achieve it, but you never gave him the chance. Also, Ning Mu did some cleanup for you after you returned to the scene in the middle of the night. If not for that, the police would have come for you a long time ago. Did you think you could still be at home now?"

Shen Miao turned sharply towards Shang Junxiao, his eyes brimming with disbelief.

However, Shang Junxiao didn’t say anything else but chased after Ning Mu.

Seeing this, Jiangli glanced at Song Taishan and said, "Captain Song, I’ll leave all this to you. The things Shen Miao just said, they should count as a confession, right?"

Song Taishan pulled out his phone and said, "They count. I’ve recorded them. I’ll interrogate him again once we’re at the police station."

Jiangli nodded, "Then I’m relieved. Captain Song, we’ll head back first."

Song Taishan agreed, "Alright, Abbot, you go ahead with your business."

Jiangli glanced at Shen Miao, exchanged a look with Fu Shiyan, and the two of them walked out together.

Xia Xin hurried to follow.

The three of them came out only to see Shang Junxiao and Ning Mu standing at the elevator entrance.

Jiangli and Fu Shiyan walked over.

Xia Xin followed, pressed the elevator button, and waited for it to arrive.

"Master..." Ning Mu saw Jiangli, his voice hoarse, as if wanting to say something.

Jiangli asked, "Are you still blaming me?"

Ning Mu gave a bitter smile, "I don’t blame you, Master, I blame myself. But now, I guess, I’ve got my answer. Let it be."

Ning Mu had once thought that he and Shen Miao truly loved each other.

But now he realized Shen Miao had changed a long time ago.

The Shen Miao he knew, and the Shen Miao of the present, were completely different people.

The once passionate and bright lover, like the sun, had long since disappeared.

Just as Shang Junxiao said, the Shen Miao of now had changed, by letting Shen Miao continue on like this, it wouldn’t be helping him, but rather enabling him to continue harming others.

This outcome as of now...

Ning Mu could accept it.

Hearing this, Jiangli, with an unchanged expression, nodded slightly, "This matter here seems to have come to a close, then you come back with me."

Ning Mu didn’t know where he should go now, it seemed like there was nowhere left for him to go, so he agreed, "Alright."

Just then, the elevator arrived.

Several people, including Ning Mu, entered the elevator together.

Ning Mu stood in the elevator and soon saw Song Taishan and the others bringing Shen Miao out as well.

But they didn’t come up, instead they waited for another elevator.
