Chapter 74: Traces Left by Geese

"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Xiao Yuqing's expression turned ferocious for a moment before she switched to feigning ignorance. "I have no idea who this Xiao Yuqing you're talking about is. If you're out of your mind, get out of here, or I'll call the police!"

Xin Que grabbed Xiao Yuqing's hand, which was trying to shoo her away, ignoring her struggling and flushed face. "Hey, hey, don't be in such a hurry!"

"You really didn't drug the girl Ji Chen couldn't win over?"

Xiao Yuqing tried to break free of the man's grip even with her arms almost twisted, but she couldn't. When she heard the words "drugged," she immediately raised her voice, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll crack your skull open, you believe me?!"

"Are you an idiot? You come in and don't buy anything, and then you spout nonsense you can't understand. Get out of here or I'll call for help!!!"

"Help!!!"

Passersby saw what appeared to be an argument behind the glass door, stopped in their tracks, and hesitated whether to step forward and help.

Xiao Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she screamed for help, grabbing a paper cup from the counter and smashing it over the man's head. "Help!!! There's a thief!!!"

The man restraining her looked fierce for a moment, but seeing that onlookers were about to come in, he cursed one last time, glared at Xiao Yuqing fiercely, and then fled through the door.

After the man left, onlookers came in to check on Xiao Yuqing.

"Are you alright?" someone asked. "Don't worry, I called the police for you. There are security cameras here, that person won't get away..."

Upon hearing the words "call the police," Xiao Yuqing reacted violently, her face contorted with rage as she yelled at the passerby, "Why the hell are you meddling in other people's business and calling the police?!"

The passerby, inexplicably yelled at, immediately turned pale. "Are you trying to bite the hand that feeds you?!"

Xiao Yuqing then realized that her behavior was abnormal. "No! That's my relative. We had a fight over some trivial family matters. It's not worth troubling the police officers to come all the way here."

When the police arrived, Xiao Yuqing insisted that she was just having a conflict with her family and that the passersby were just meddling and had misunderstood.

The passerby who called the police had a livid face. As he left after giving his statement, he was cursing, "I was trying to help you and you turned around and blamed me. If you like getting beaten up so much, why don't you stop calling for help? You're crazy!"

Finally, the police officer, with a dark expression, lectured Xiao Yuqing, "Do you know you're wasting police resources?"

Xiao Yuqing reluctantly apologized before fleeing the police station.

"Hello?" Xiao Yuqing returned home and closed all the doors and windows before stealthily dialing a number she hadn't contacted in a long time. "I'm being watched... They know about how I drugged my classmates back in college!"

The person on the other end of the phone was taken aback. "So many years have passed, why would someone suddenly contact you about this?"

"How should I know?!" Xiao Yuqing was extremely annoyed. "You have to find a way to smooth things over for me!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before someone spoke, "It sounds like they're here to stand up for someone. Do you know who they're here for?"

"I've sent so many women to Ji Chen, how am I supposed to know who they're for?" Xiao Yuqing was on edge, completely confused and unable to find a clue.

"Don't you have security cameras in your store? Did they capture that person's face? Send me the footage, I'll check it."

“Xiao Yuqing, keep your mouth shut. We’re all in this together. If you dare to reveal a single word about the boss… you know the consequences.”

"Don't forget who paid off your gambling debts!"

Xiao Yuqing wanted to say something, but thinking of the bills, she ultimately remained silent.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yuqing's tense mind finally relaxed a lot.

Without even washing up or changing her clothes, she curled up on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

"Bang."

"Bang bang."

Xiao Yuqing was jolted awake from her sleep. Clutching her wildly pounding heart, she couldn't help but curse, "Are the people upstairs and downstairs crazy? Busy entertaining customers in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?!"

It wasn't until she was hoarse from yelling that Xiao Yuqing finally came to her senses.

It doesn't sound like the noise from next door.

Her mind was in a daze, and it took her a long time to figure out the source of the sound.

Like... a balcony?

Xiao Yuqing's neighborhood is not a high-end neighborhood. The buildings here are generally six or seven stories high, and the neighborhood itself is quite old.

Therefore, security measures were practically non-existent.

Of course, she used to be wealthy, but as for why she has fallen to such a state...

Xiao Yuqing finally became alert, biting her lip tightly, and slowly went to the kitchen to get a cleaver. She gestured with it as she tiptoed towards the source of the sound on the balcony.

She didn't dare turn on the light and didn't dare to breathe.

Slowly open the balcony door, and use a kitchen knife to carefully pry open the tightly closed curtains...

Xiao Yuqing opened her lips.

It was as if I was nailed to the spot, unable to move.

"Ah..." Xiao Yuqing's throat felt like it had been choked, and it took her a long time to find her voice again, "Ah!!!!!!!!!!"

A woman's back was clearly visible outside the balcony window.

She doesn't know how she managed to crouch on the narrow brick sill of the windowsill, and when she heard Xiao Yuqing's scream, she slowly turned her head.

Xiao Yuqing gripped the kitchen knife in her hand and slashed wildly in the air, yelling, "Ghost! Ghost!!!"

She couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but she could hear her voice.

"Senior," the woman said, her voice like a demon crawling out of hell, "didn't you say you were going to take me to club activities today?"

"Splash—"

The window was violently broken open by a woman.

Xiao Yuqing was so frightened that she couldn't even hold onto the kitchen knife. She scrambled and crawled towards the door, crying and screaming all the way.

Xin Que "..."

It seems that the chat logs in the client's possession are indeed this woman's weakness.

Xin Que was too lazy to continue acting, so she went onto the balcony, grabbed a stool, and threw it at Xiao Yuqing.

A muffled thud was heard, and Xiao Yuqing's cries came to an abrupt halt.

After taking Xiao Yuqing's phone, Xin Que quietly left again.

...

"Wake up!!!"

When Xiao Yuqing groggily opened her eyes, she found that her house was surrounded by police again.

A neighbor was telling the police how the couple discovered Xiao Yuqing's condition.

“I heard a lot of noise coming from her house last night, but she’s always been like this… She’ll bang on the door if anyone makes a little noise, and she’ll break things around the house every few days and we can’t do anything about it.”

"At first we all thought she was just acting crazy at home again, like before, until this morning when my husband and I went to work together..."

"Her house was wide open, and everything in the living room was smashed. That's when we realized something was wrong..."

“We are police officers from the local police station,” one of the officers said, seeing Xiao Yuqing struggling to get up, indicating that she didn’t need to. “Can you still speak?”

"The ambulance will be here soon. We'll take you to the hospital and find out what happened last night."

Xiao Yuqing rubbed her temples, her head throbbing, "Last night..."

Seeing that the victim was still able to communicate normally, the police immediately leaned down and asked, "What exactly happened to you last night?"

The image of the woman's back outside the window flashed through Xiao Yuqing's mind.

"Senior..."

She seemed to be hallucinating again.

Who is it?

Which despicable person, who should have been reincarnated long ago, came to harm her?!
