exchange
Xu Xi was dizzy from being shaken by Chen Shuyao, and tears were already streaming down her face unconsciously. She had no idea whether Chen Shuning was there, but the scenes of falling from the building before her rebirth were playing over and over in her mind.
It was as if many sharp blades were torturing her heart.
Xu Xi was speechless. Every second she stayed in the elevator felt like an eternity.
The moment the elevator door opened, Xu Xi almost rushed out. She ran towards the stairs on the top floor, calling Chen Shuning's name anxiously.
"Chen Shuning, Chen Shuning."
Aning is on top?
"How do you know Aning is up there?"
Chen Shuyao chased after him, not understanding Xu Xi's purpose, but she sensed that Xu Xi had asked her to go up to the rooftop for a purpose. The moment the two of them rushed to the rooftop together, they were frozen in time at the scene they saw.
They saw Chen Shuning struggling with a woman. Chen Shuning and that person were pinching each other's necks and standing on the edge of the rooftop, a very dangerous place.
Seeing someone coming, they both subconsciously glanced over here.
Chen Shuning struggled desperately. "Xu Xi, don't come over here."
Chen Shuyao arrived a step later than Xu Xi. Seeing the scene in front of her, she exclaimed in surprise.
"Sister-in-law? Shuning? What are you doing?"
Chen Shuning's face was pale, and she struggled to speak. "Sister, call the police, call the police quickly. My sister-in-law is reselling company documents..."
Before Chen Shuning could finish her words, the woman she was pulling with pulled out a hand and tried to cover her mouth. Chen Shuning opened her mouth and bit the hand directly.
The woman screamed in pain and cursed loudly, then looked at Chen Shuyao and said with gritted teeth, "Don't call the police. If anyone dares to call the police, I will die with her now."
"No." Xu Xi said in panic: "If you have any conditions, you can put forward them. We will try our best to meet you. Don't joke with your life."
The so-called sister-in-law suddenly exerted force and directly pinched Chen Shuning's jaw, causing Chen Shuning to lean back. Then, she pinched Chen Shuning's neck with one hand and grabbed Chen Shuning's other hand with the other hand. Taking advantage of the situation, she sneered:
"Are you kidding? I don't want to joke with my life. Originally, she could have just turned a blind eye, but she insisted on questioning me. As someone who never cares about the interests of the family, what right does she have to accuse me? Even if I don't sell the company documents, with your limited skills, you won't be able to achieve any good results."
It wasn't that complicated originally; she'd always done it this way. Who knew today her sister-in-law would come and question her, even taking secret photos and videos with her phone to collect evidence? She could have just pushed her down, handled it all quietly.
But things did not go as planned. What she did was discovered by someone other than the third person.
Chen Shuyao was shocked beyond belief. She had never thought that since they were family, she wouldn't gain anything from damaging the company's interests. Why would she do such a thing? Her sister-in-law actually did such a thing?
"Sister-in-law, did you really resell the company's internal documents?"
Chen Shuyao asked this question and wanted to reach into her pocket to take out her phone to record the video.
However, the sister-in-law saw her move, grabbed Chen Shuning's neck and took a step back. "Don't move, or I will die with her."
Chen Shuyao stopped and looked at Chen Shuning, then she heard the woman say again, "You two, throw away all your phones."
Chen Shuyao had no choice but to take out her cell phone and throw it aside.
Xu Xi swallowed her saliva and reached into her pocket. While in her pocket, she used her fingerprint to unlock her phone. The moment she took out the phone, she quickly pressed 110. In less than a second, she threw the phone screen down.
Then she said to the woman, "You can tell us your request now. We haven't called the police. As long as you release Shuning, we will let you go safely."
"Leave safely?" The woman laughed a few times, then suddenly untied her brooch and pointed the needle at Chen Shuning's throat. "Let's go down together now. Find a box and put all the company's spare cash in it for me. And prepare a car for me."
Xu Xi looked at Chen Shuning. The needle had already pierced her skin a little bit, and she felt uncomfortable. She tried to say, "Can I be exchanged for Shuning? I'll be a hostage."
"Ha, are you feeling sorry for her? I almost forgot that she is a lesbian. You care about her so much, could it be that you two are in love? Did you run away from the engagement party just for you? Are you in love very much?" The woman said, and suddenly took out the brooch and stabbed Chen Shuning's arm twice quickly and fiercely.
Then he asked Xu Xi viciously: "Are you still changing? Do you want to play tricks on me?"
Chen Shuning cried out in pain, and Xu Xi burst into tears. She really regretted making this request. If she had known that making this request would hurt Chen Shuning, she would rather have been mute forever.
Xu Xi: "No! Don't hurt her, let's go down now."
Chen Shuyao was shocked to see her usually harmonious family suddenly transformed into this state. "Don't hurt Aning. I'll transfer the cash as you instructed, but it will take time. Don't get excited. Don't hurt her. We'll all cooperate with you."
"Go down now."
Xu Xi glanced at her phone, hoping the police would hear her conversation and follow the signal to find her. She followed Chen Shuyao down the stairs, while the sister-in-law followed behind, pressing the sharp end of her brooch against Chen Shuning's neck. As she passed Xu Xi's phone, the sister-in-law kicked it far away.
From the moment they entered the elevator and descended to Chen Shuyao's office, almost no one saw them. Chen Shuyao asked her assistant to find the suitcase. Chen Shuning was being pricked in the neck by her sister-in-law with a needle, and she was bleeding. Perhaps because she was panicking, she pricked in different places each time, leaving her neck covered in blood. Her sister-in-law kept urging Chen Shuyao to hurry up.
Xu Xi stood there, watching Chen Shuning in silence. She sniffed. She felt this was a good opportunity, as her sister-in-law was focused on packing the money. She and Chen Shuning locked eyes, and Xu Xi firmly believed that the tacit understanding between them had existed since the night they first met.
Chen Shuning knew what she wanted to do.
Xu Xi pursed her lips and nodded gently at Chen Shuning. The next second, Xu Xi took two or three steps forward, quickly grabbed her sister-in-law's hand holding the brooch, and forcefully pried it away from Chen Shuning's neck. At the same time, Chen Shuning also grabbed her sister-in-law's other hand.
Chen Shuning was freed. She and Xu Xi each held one hand and pressed her sister-in-law to the ground.
Chen Shuning called out to Chen Shuyao. "Sister, hurry up, find something to hold her down."
Seeing the scene in front of her, Chen Shuyao frantically searched through the drawers of her desk, but she couldn't find anything useful.
"wait for me……"
Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were blurred with panic. She could never have imagined that she would be like this today after sitting together and laughing and chatting about her future sister-in-law last night. She saw a bloody patch on Chen Shuning's neck, and the blood had stained half of Chen Shuning's clothes.
It happened so suddenly, without any warning.
The two were still waiting for her to find something to control her sister-in-law, but what could she use? What about her brother? Did he know about this? What would her parents think if they knew...
Just at this moment, the police broke in from outside. Chen Shuyao froze like a wooden man, and her mind went blank in an instant.
The police handcuffed Chen Shuning's sister-in-law. The incident happened suddenly and was resolved just as suddenly.
