Chapter 178 Self-harm with a Knife

Xia Luoluo was covered in cold sweat, but she still pretended to be calm and sat on the toilet, tightly clenching her fingers. She bit her lip, not knowing what to do.

Zhang Lina said anxiously, "Luo Luo, did you hear what I said? If you don't come out soon, Young Master Fu will send someone to look for you."

"Young Master Fu also believes what Xia Ningxi said?" Xia Luoluo asked excitedly.

Zhang Lina said, "Yes, public opinion outside is overwhelmingly against you. They all think you're hiding because you're guilty. Xia Ningxi is very arrogant and has directly put a dirty label on you. You should come out and explain to everyone quickly, and don't let that bitch Xia Ningxi smear you."

Charlotte said, "Lina, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll hold them off for a bit. I have diarrhea and I feel really uncomfortable."

"Okay." Zhang Lina believed Xia Luoluo and said, "I'll wait for you outside the bathroom. You have to hurry."

"Thank you." Charlotte was very grateful.

After Zhang Lina left, Xia Luoluo was completely devastated. She clutched her head in utter disarray, digging her fingers into her hair.

What should she do? What should she do?

Everyone is waiting for her to come out.

Once she does as Xia Ningxi says, Xia Ningxi will soon expose her.

What should she do then?

Xia Luoluo remembered that she had an eyebrow trimmer in her bag, so she quickly unzipped it and took it out...

Her eyes were fixed on the blade, and she was covered in cold sweat.

"Fu Mingyan is the eldest daughter of the Fu family. If I offend the Fu family, my future will be difficult. What should I do then?"

Xia Luoluo knew very well that she couldn't afford to offend the Fu family.

However, Xia Ningxi had already made such a big show of things, and everyone had cooperated with her to take fingerprints, except for her.

No matter what, she can't escape today!

But she can't leave this fingerprint!

If they were to successfully match in front of all the wealthy families in the capital, Xia Luoluo would be the murderer who almost killed Fu Mingyan, a consequence she could not bear!

Xia Luoluo gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, took the eyebrow razor, and stabbed a bloody hole in the palm of her finger. Blood gushed out instantly, and Xia Luoluo was in so much pain that she almost fainted.

Tears streamed down her face from the pain, but she didn't stop. She took the eyebrow razor and cut her fingertips, one after another, until she had cut the fingertips of all ten fingers, and her hands were stained red with blood.

At this moment, Xia Luoluo was sweating profusely from the pain.

She opened the bathroom door shakily.

Hearing the commotion, Zhang Lina quickly returned to take a look, only to find that Xia Luoluo's hands were covered in blood.

"Lolo? What happened? How did you get hurt?" Zhang Lina was extremely shocked.

Xia Luoluo bit her lip and said, "I accidentally cut myself with the eyebrow trimmer."

"How could this happen..." Zhang Lina looked at Xia Luoluo's bloody hands, feeling both worried and scared.

Xia Luoluo was in so much pain that she was almost fainting. She leaned against the wall and struggled to walk to the sink to turn on the water to wash her blood-covered hands. But she couldn't even stand up straight before her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Lina had never seen anything like this before.

She was terrified and quickly helped Xia Luoluo up. She noticed that Xia Luoluo's injured hand was bleeding profusely. Zhang Lina panicked and immediately called for help from the people outside the door.

Just then, a cleaning worker who was passing by heard Zhang Lina's cries for help. When she came in, she found Xia Luoluo lying on the ground, almost unconscious.

Zhang Lina said, "Quickly carry her out. My car is parked outside. I'll take her to the hospital!"

"Okay." The cleaner readily picked up Xia Luoluo and carried her out.

As for the people at the banquet, they were all waiting for Xia Luoluo to return.

Everyone was puzzled when they saw Xia Luoluo being carried out of the bathroom.

Fu Xiyu asked, "What happened?"

Zhang Lina said, "Lolo was accidentally injured and is now losing too much blood, so she must be taken to the hospital immediately."

Fu Xiyu's gaze was fixed on Xia Luoluo's hand.

Xia Ningxi asked, "Where is Miss Xia injured? Could it be her finger?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately fell upon Xia Luoluo's fingers. Seeing that both of Xia Luoluo's hands were covered in blood, everyone was very puzzled.

"Didn't Miss Xia go to the restroom? How did she hurt her hand?"

"The fingerprints haven't even been pressed yet."

"Doctor, her hand is injured. Will that affect your fingerprint extraction?"

Everyone asked questions.

Xia Ningxi said, "It won't affect anything."

Xia Ningxi walked towards Xia Luoluo step by step.

Seeing this, Zhang Lina immediately stepped in front of Xia Luoluo and questioned, "What are you trying to do?"

Xia Ningxi said, "Now all that's left is to extract Xia Luoluo's fingerprints, so naturally I'm going to extract them."

"Luo Luo is injured like this, she must be taken to the hospital immediately." Zhang Lina stopped Xia Ningxi from moving around.

Xia Ningxi scoffed: "It's just a few handprints, it won't take long, and I'm a doctor, I can treat her wounds."

Zhang Lina also realized that Xia Ningxi was determined to make Xia Luoluo leave before she would let Xia Luoluo go!

Zhang Lina gritted her teeth and remained silent, but in fact, she already knew what had happened. Xia Luoluo was suddenly injured, and the injury was on her finger, which meant that Xia Luoluo did not want Xia Ningxi to obtain her fingerprints.

It's estimated that the person who pushed Xia Ningxi was Xia Luoluo.

If she really lets Xia Ningxi extract Xia Luoluo's fingerprints today, Xia Luoluo's life will be over.

Zhang Lina said, "I don't trust your medical skills and I don't need you to treat Luo Luo's wounds. Move aside, I need to take Luo Luo to the hospital immediately."

Xia Ningxi sneered, "Do you not want me to treat Xia Luoluo's injuries, or are you afraid I'll use her fingerprints for comparison?"

Zhang Lina felt instantly guilty. Her face flushed red as her thoughts were exposed, and she scolded, "How can you be so heartless? Luo Luo is already injured like this and needs to be taken to the hospital immediately. You're still thinking about the fingerprints. Aren't you trying to kill Luo Luo?!"

“I’m not interested in her life, but anyone who wants Fu Mingyan dead has to be investigated thoroughly before Xia Luoluo can leave,” Xia Ningxi said.

The onlookers echoed their agreement.

"That's right, the only thing left is that Xia Luoluo hasn't cooperated with the fingerprinting process. It would be hard to convince everyone if she just left like this."

"And she was perfectly fine when she went to the bathroom just now, how could she suddenly be injured? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

"Could it be that Xia Luoluo was behind this?"

Everyone speculated.

Even Duan Rongrong, who had previously spoken up for Xia Luoluo quite often, became suspicious of her when she saw Xia Luoluo's injured fingertip: "It's better to find out the truth first."

Zhang Lina was furious: "Are you all blind? Can't you see she's lost too much blood and is unconscious? You're not looking for the murderer, you're clearly trying to kill Luo Luo!"
