Chapter 137: A Clear Conscience
Chi Muzhen's hands under the quilt unconsciously tightened, and she lowered her eyes and said, "You shouldn't have come back."
Huo Yunting sneered, "I really shouldn't have come back. I was just being sentimental and worrying about you, and it's all my fault!"
After saying that, he slammed the door and left.
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, a look of confusion in her eyes. The better Huo Yunting treated her, the more fragile the wall she built in her heart would become, and one day it would collapse and turn into rubble.
Without letting himself immerse himself in this emotion for too long, Chi Muzhen quickly calmed down, got up from the bed and prepared to be discharged from the hospital.
As soon as I opened the door of the ward, I saw Huo Yunting standing outside the ward with a cold expression.
She was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to have not left yet.
"How did you..."
Before he could finish his words, Huo Yunting picked him up and carried him straight out of the hospital.
She pressed herself against his chest, and hearing his steady and strong heartbeat, her face felt hot unconsciously, and her heartbeat quickened.
"Mr. Huo, please put me down. I can walk by myself."
"If you don't want to be thrown to the ground by me, shut up!"
His voice was filled with anger and his jaw was clenched, obviously still angry about what had just happened, but the way he held her was very gentle.
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes and tried her best to suppress the joy that was rising in her heart. She couldn't make the same mistake again.
After carrying Chi Muzhen into the car, Huo Yunting took her directly back to where he currently lives - Yujing.
Chi Muzhen couldn't help but frown when he saw this unfamiliar villa.
"Mr. Huo, just send me back to Elm Bay."
Huo Yunting sneered, "Do you think you're lucky enough to get blown up again?"
Chi Muzhen: "..."
Seeing Chi Muzhen's face was a little ugly, Ke Ning on the side quickly explained: "Miss Chi, there are people guarding the door of Yushuwan Villa, waiting for you to show up. It's very dangerous. You should stay at the president's place until this matter is handled."
Chi Muzhen looked at Ke Ning, "Secretary Ke, have you found the person who planted the bomb in Shengjing Villa?"
"Yes, the other party is the maintenance staff of the villa. Under the pretext of maintenance, they planted a bomb in the villa. As soon as the door is opened, the bomb's timer will be activated and it will explode within five seconds."
Chi Muzhen frowned, "What's the motive? Is he a fan of Chi Xuan?"
Koning shook his head. "We didn't find out about that. When we found him, he had already committed suicide, and the time of death was an hour after the bomb was installed."
She lowered her eyes, vaguely feeling that something was wrong. If the other party really wanted to kill her, he would not commit suicide before confirming that he was killed in the explosion. There was only one possibility for doing so.
He has an accomplice!
Moreover, this was a premeditated incident. It is highly unlikely that he was a fanatical fan of Chi Xuan, otherwise he would have deliberately let Chi Xuan know about his behavior.
I guess the other party just wanted to use the fact that he beat Chi Xuan to become a hot topic and was retaliated by many people as a cover-up, so that he could lead public opinion in this direction after killing her.
And there should be only one person who would do this.
Poisonous scorpion!
He appears again!
After figuring it all out, Chi Muzhen immediately sent a message to Damai.
[The Poison Scorpion should have returned to Rongcheng.]
As soon as the message was sent, Damai replied immediately.
"I was just about to tell you this. The maintenance worker who caused the explosion had previously come into contact with Scorpion's men."
Chi Muzhen's eyes turned cold.
The Scorpion would not kill her in such an easy way. This time it was probably just a warning.
Can you find out where he is?
[He's been hiding his whereabouts very well. He's likely already obtained a legal identity and might have already appeared near you. I'll do my best to investigate. In the meantime, please also keep an eye on the people around you.]
【good. 】
Just as he put down his phone, he saw Huo Yunting coming over with a box of medicine and a glass of water. "Take the medicine. I'm going to work. Rest when you're tired. You can get up and eat after Auntie has prepared the meal."
"Um."
Chi Muzhen took the water and medicine and ate them in front of Huo Yunting. He didn't say anything else and turned to walk out of the bedroom.
When I reached the door, Chi Muzhen's voice came from behind me.
"Mr. Huo, thank you!"
He paused for a moment, but did not look back.
Back in the study, Huo Yunting's expression became even colder.
"How's the investigation going?"
"Mr. Huo, this incident really has nothing to do with Chi Xuan. It was a video that a passerby accidentally took and posted online after seeing that Chi Xuan was the champion of the design competition."
Huo Yunting's expression was cold, and there was no warmth in his eyes.
"Well, keep investigating the maintenance worker who planted the bomb. He must be more than just a fan of Chi Xuan."
"Okay, then do you need to continue deleting the ones on Weibo?"
"Go on. If necessary, block Chi Xuan's account."
"I see."
After explaining the situation, Huo Yunting let Ke Ning leave.
In the bedroom, Chi Muzhen turned on the surveillance camera of Elm Bay Villa, and there were still many people at the door.
If she didn't drive these people away, Huo Yunting would definitely let her continue to live here, and she didn't want to have too much interaction with him.
Moreover, this matter has been fermenting for so long, it is time for there to be a result.
In the two days after the video was released, Chi Xuan's fans increased by more than 100,000. Chi Xuan began to feel elated. She didn't expect that a video could have such a great influence.
If I slowly let others casually talk about the things that Chi Muzhen did in the past to imitate her, wouldn't my followers increase faster?
Thinking of this, Chi Xuan couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on her face.
It seems that Chi Muzhen was born to be stepped on by her to get to the top!
Just when Chi Xuan was feeling smug, Chi Muzhen suddenly posted on Weibo.
After clicking in, she saw several audio clips. Chi Xuan clicked on one of them, which was the audio of her mocking Chi Muzhen. There was even a recording of the design competition venue that day.
Her hands were shaking after hearing this, and she immediately called Chi Muzhen.
"Chi Muzhen! Are you crazy?! Delete that Weibo post immediately!"
Hearing Chi Xuan's somewhat exasperated voice, Chi Muzhen remained calm.
"Chi Xuan, you've been courted by so many people these days. Have you forgotten who you really are?"
Chi Xuan gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't post that video, what does it have to do with me? And it's true that you hit me!"
"Didn't you scold my adoptive parents first, and then I hit you? I shouldn't have hit you."
Chi Xuan was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly changed her attitude. "Sister, I know I was wrong. Can you please let me go this time? I just won the championship in the design competition, and my reputation cannot be ruined..."
Chi Muzhen chuckled, "Your reputation can't be ruined, but mine can be? Chi Xuan, don't be so selfish!"
After saying that, Chi Muzhen hung up the phone.
Chi Xuan called again, but Chi Muzhen didn't answer.
She was so angry that she wanted to kill Chi Muzhen immediately, but she was helpless. Was she really going to let everything she had worked so hard for be destroyed in an instant?!
I mustered up the courage to open Weibo, thinking I would be scolded badly, but unexpectedly, my comment section was so quiet.
She frowned and quickly opened the comments under Chi Muzhen's Weibo, but they were all cursing Chi Muzhen.
[Haha! I finally understand what it means to be shameless and invincible! How dare you post this obviously synthesized voice on Weibo? I think you deserve to be scolded!]
[Hahaha this is hilarious! What is she doing? I fabricated evidence to defend myself? Is she sure she's mentally healthy?!]
[No wonder she didn't even graduate from high school. With that kind of IQ, she probably thinks we're all as dumb as her and can't figure out it's a composite!]
…
Seeing those comments, Chi Xuan's eyes flashed with disbelief, and then ecstasy.
These voice messages sent by Chi Muzhen were actually synthesized by herself!
A mocking smile appeared on her lips. Chi Muzhen was still as stupid as before. Didn't she think that this method could clear her name?!
It seems that I can use her to continue marketing.
The next second, Chi Muzhen posted two more Weibo posts.
After seeing the title, Chi Xuan's face turned pale instantly!
