"Yi Yi, what exactly do you want me to admit? I really don't know anything. You say I sent messages to the servants in the villa, but I've only been here a few days. Before that, I was living alone in the backyard. I don't even have their phone numbers. How could I send messages?"
"It's very simple. All the servants in the villa have cell phones provided by the Mu family, including the one you're using now. For ease of management, the butler has all the servants' cell phone numbers. You lived in the backyard before, so getting the numbers won't be difficult at all."
It was with this in mind that Yi Yi began to suspect Xia Bingqing.
Xia Bingqing: "Fine, fine. Now that you're convinced I did it, no matter how I explain, it's useless. You said I sent them messages, so check my phone for any message records. If there are, then I have nothing to say. If not, then even if you beat me to death, I can't admit it. We'll just wait for Xun-gege to come back and ask him to judge."
As she spoke, Xia Bingqing found her phone in the room and, while turning it on, said, "I'm going to wait for Brother Xun to come back and ask him to give me justice. Even though I'm living under someone else's roof now, I can't let myself be wronged like this..."
Yi Yi had no intention of checking Xia Bingqing's phone. If it really was her, she must have been prepared; she could send messages and then delete them, even erasing the entire history.
Thinking back, I realized I'd been too impulsive; I shouldn't have confronted Xia Bingqing directly. How could she possibly admit it so easily?
She should go find Xiao Fang. See if these phones are monitored online; if so, it would be easier to investigate.
"Ah, this...this is..."
Xia Bingqing's expression changed from aggrieved to shocked.
"This...how is this possible? My phone...Oh my god..."
Yi Yi wondered if Xia Bingqing's action meant she had sent the message but forgot to delete it.
She snatched Xia Bingqing's phone to check, and saw a message with a clear picture attached. At the end of the message was a line of eye-catching text.
"You must delete it after reading it, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."
Those pictures were screenshots from news reports that she was a monster, as well as photos taken in the toilet revealing her true identity.
This matter happened so long ago, and it had already been settled, yet it's being brought up again. And in this way, no less.
Yi Yi finally understood why those people had suddenly become so afraid of her, looking at her with such strange eyes. It turned out they had all received that message, believing her to be a monster of unknown origin. Moreover, the number that sent the message was unknown.
That's normal; it can be done using technical means.
"Yi Yi, what exactly happened? Wasn't that news already resolved? How come it's been dug up again? I... I turned off my phone and went to sleep early last night, I didn't even know about this, I only saw it when I turned my phone back on just now."
Xia Bingqing looked completely innocent, as if she knew nothing about it.
"Don't you know what happened?" The incident back then was orchestrated by Xia Bingqing and Liang Xiaoru. Now that the old story has been brought up again, she can't escape suspicion.
Upon hearing this, Xia Bingqing was stunned for a moment, then her eyes quickly reddened, and she began to cry in grievance.
