“I just wanted to say that I don’t need to lie about this kind of thing,” Ruan Mei said softly.

Bai Heng gritted his teeth in anger: "Look, she's still pretending to be innocent."

"Ruan Mei did this because she knows you have feelings for her and wants to gain your sympathy."

Su Jinyan is almost clear on things.

It is true that Nguyen Mai was framed; someone attempted to create a disaster at the Black Tower space station and pin the blame on Nguyen Mai.

That guy was trying to stir up conflict between Black Tower and Nguyen Mai.

Whoever is behind this, there is definitely a ulterior motive behind it.

Having realized this, Black Tower may have secretly contacted Hanabi, Ginji, and the others, and then deliberately put on a show for that guy, following their wishes.

The purpose is to observe the other party's reaction after the conflict reaches its peak.

What the Black Tower needs to do is bring the mastermind behind the scenes to the forefront, then nothing will be a threat anymore.

Currently, only Bai Heng, Aistar, Ruan Mei, and the unsuspecting staff members are kept in the dark.

Su Jinyan pondered for a moment. Clearly, Hei Ta and Bai Heng both had some reservations about Ruan Mei.

If he chooses to support Nguyen Mai at this time, he might win her favor.

But for Ruan Mei, who is emotionally detached, it was negligible.

But if he were to push Ruan Mei into the fire at this moment, and join Hei Ta and the others in blaming Ruan Mei...

Then Ruan Mei's situation would plummet to rock bottom, making every step she took extremely difficult.

Once the mastermind behind this has revealed themselves, he will take the initiative to help Ruan Mei resolve this problem.

In that case, after some twists and turns, perhaps Ruan Mei's emotional deficiencies could be alleviated.

Su Jinyan shook his head slightly: "Ruan Mei, is what Hei Ta said true?"

"What's with me is just a fragment of you, while the real you remains in the Black Tower space station, right?"

He didn't answer Ruan Mei directly, but instead threw the question back at her.

Ruan Mei explained, "I just hope we can get along in a way that's comfortable for both of us..."

Su Jinyan sighed: "If the truth brings pain, lies will only make things worse."

"Ruan Mei, you were the one who deceived me first. How can I believe you?"

Ruan Mei: "......"

Hei Ta looked up at her: "Alright, Ruan Mei, do you have anything else to say?"

Ruan Mei's eyelashes trembled slightly: "I've heard the rumors circulating in the club and on the space station. They secretly call me a 'mad scientist'."

"It's normal for someone as passionate about science as me to have such a title."

"Even if I were a mad scientist, I would never use humans as experimental subjects."

“Darling, it was wrong of me to lie to you about other things.”

"On this one matter, I did not lie to you."

Su Jinyan remained silent.

Hei Ta said coldly, "Ruan Mei, for the sake of our past relationship, you should leave."

"I cannot tolerate someone who repeatedly challenges my bottom line remaining on the space station."

"Leave my space station and never come back. There is no place for you here."

"Ms. Black Tower, we can't let Ruan Mei leave!" said Aista anxiously.

"So many innocent people died because of her, we must make Ruan Mei pay the price she deserves."

Black Tower's expression was strange: "Aista, do you want Ruan Mei to pay with her life?"

"Okay, I don't object, but I won't intervene."

Estelle stared at her in disbelief. What on earth was Lady Black Tower talking about?

Ruan Mei is about to destroy the Black Tower Space Station, isn't that enough to warrant your intervention?

Black Tower continued, "In the end, if I take action, Ruan Mei will not sit idly by and wait to die."

"That would only implicate more innocent people..."

Bai Heng took Su Jinyan's hand and pleaded, "Su Jinyan, I've never asked you for anything."

"Fireworks perished because of us, and Mr. Silver Branch is likely in grave danger as well..."

"Please, please let the culprit receive the punishment they deserve, okay?"

Su Jinyan said in a deep voice, "Bai Heng, I promise you."

Even a clay Buddha has a temper, let alone Su Jinyan.

Once the mastermind is exposed, no matter who it is, Su Jinyan will make sure they suffer a horrible death.

Confusion finally appeared in Ruan Mei's beautiful eyes.

She still can't understand why Black Tower is so determined to frame her, and what benefit Black Tower would gain from doing so.

Estelle and Bai Heng, these two girls were probably also misled.

They mistakenly identified themselves as the culprits responsible for the containment failure of the dangerous artifact containment facility.

And then there's Su Jinyan, the man who took her virginity.

Su Jinyan had confessed his love to her and proposed to her in front of her grandmother not long ago, but now he no longer trusts her.

But that's normal, since she was the one who started the deception.

"People only believe what they want to believe."

“Everyone of you thinks I have committed a crime and deserves to be punished.”

"Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say in my defense."

"Life will always come to an end with death and decay. Do it, my dear, I will not resist."

Ruan Mei's beautiful eyes were calm, without sadness.

Su Jinyan replied, "No, I will expel you from the Black Tower Space Station."

Ruan Mei's eyes flickered slightly.

Bai Heng was taken aback and asked urgently, "Why? Are you still hung up on this woman?"

Su Jinyan said seriously, "Bai Heng, listen to me."

"There is currently no conclusive evidence to identify Nguyen Mai as the culprit who attempted to destroy the space station."

"It's not that I don't trust you, I only believe what I see with my own eyes."

"Therefore, the best course of action is to expel Nguyen Mai from the Black Tower Space Station."

"If we find evidence later that Ruan Mei conducted forbidden experiments on the space station, I will definitely have a way to make her get the punishment she deserves."

Estella was sullen, as was Bai Heng.

Since Ruan Mei appeared in the secret laboratory, it means that the relevant evidence has most likely been destroyed by her.

But why is Su Jinyan so calm about the passing of Hua Huo?

Su Jinyan acted too rationally; this was unlike him at all.

Ruan Mei asked softly, "Darling, are you doing this out of personal selfishness?"

"This isn't like you. I thought you would do anything to erase my existence."

Su Jinyan clenched his fists silently, his heart clearly not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

"I will seek justice for the sacrificed Hanabi and Ginchi, as well as for the other innocent staff members."

"Ruan Mei, you'd better pray that this has nothing to do with you."

Ruan Mei pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping over Su Jinyan and the others.

"Before leaving the Black Tower Space Station, I'd like to say goodbye to my creations, is that alright?"

Su Jinyan refused without hesitation: "Of course not."

"You can't take the research data from the lab, or your creations with you. They could all become important evidence."

Ruan Mei's beautiful eyes showed relief: "I understand. After leaving the Black Tower Space Station, I will go to the uninhabited land and rest there for a while."

“If you want to continue your research, I’ll be there waiting for you.”

Bai Heng said angrily, "He's still up to no good. Even at this point, he's still trying to seduce Su Jinyan to gain sympathy."

Su Jinyan nodded gently: "Okay."

Bai Heng trembled with rage: "You—!"

"Su Jinyan, you're driving me crazy! How could you be so blinded by lust?"

"Don't you feel even the slightest heartache for Hanabi's sacrifice?"

Su Jinyan couldn't help but shake his head. Even Yinzhi's death was a carefully planned drama, so how could Huahuo's death be real?
