Ding-dong.
Her phone vibrated again, and she lifted the screen.
I just sent a WeChat message and received a reply.
Xia Huai: I just finished my work and am getting ready to wash up and go to bed.
Shishi: Baby, take care of yourself, it's already 3 AM. You've been going to bed so late lately, is something wrong at work? [Pleading]
Honestly: Tell me what you think, even though I might not be of much help. But I have a foul mouth, so I can join you in swearing at them [grinning face].
She never talked to Song Jinshi about work.
Looking up at the night sky outside the window, where a few scattered stars twinkled, she suddenly felt the urge to speak.
I pressed down on the phone screen, briefly recounted what had happened in the past few days, and sent a voice message.
Anyway, Song Jinshi knew Fu Chengze, so explaining it wouldn't be difficult.
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh.
That's insane.
To be honest, I did feel much better after talking it out.
Shishi: You should have said so earlier! I could have really helped you with this. [Grinning face]
Xia Huai: ?
Shishi: You need to get a good night's sleep tonight! Wait for my good news tomorrow! [Thumbs up]
Upon seeing her message, Xia Huai shook her head helplessly.
Although I didn't quite believe it, I still replied with a "good".
But in reality, she didn't get a good night's sleep either.
I went to bed around 3 a.m. and got up at 6 a.m. to look at various materials.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the Fu family is a prominent player in the real estate industry, with numerous projects under their control.
She needs information to eliminate options, so she has to travel for work and get up early to compare various projects.
Faint dark circles had appeared under her delicate fox-like eyes until the glaring sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Xia Huai then realized that it was already noon.
She closed her eyes and rubbed her throbbing temples. After calming down, she instinctively opened her phone to check the messages Song Jinshi had sent her.
Shishi: Good morning, baby, mua~
Shishi: I've prepared a surprise for you, check your email! (No need to thank me too much!)
The message was sent around 9 a.m., but Xia Huai didn't check her phone or computer.
What's so mysterious?
Only then did Xia Huai turn on her computer, preparing to check the emails Song Jinshi had sent her.
There was only one new email in my inbox, sent by Song Jinshi.
Title: Overview of Fu's Group Real Estate Projects
Upon opening the email, the details of various real estate projects, including who the investors were and whether they had engaged in any shady dealings, were clearly explained.
Where did Song Jinshi get these materials from?
Xia Huai herself didn't realize that her first reaction was to worry that Song Jinshi had been deceived.
He hurriedly picked up his phone.
Xia Huai: Where did you get this information?
Xia Huai: Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!
She always received an instant reply when she sent messages to Song Jinshi.
Shishi: Reporting to you, baby! I'm a cop. I interrogated Fu Huiqi overnight and got him to write this for me. I have firsthand information!
Shishi: Report complete! Please provide further instructions!
Xia Huai: Didn't you say you weren't going to be a cop anymore?
Shishi: [Grinning] Who said that?
Honestly: My sister's back on track, and the entertainment industry doesn't need me anymore. But things have to be done gradually, right? I'll slowly fade out of the spotlight; the police are my true home. [Grinning face]
Commonly known as: paid leave.
Xia Huai: Thanks.
The information in the email matched the results of her investigation over the past few days perfectly, but the possibility that Fu Chengze was lying could not be completely ruled out.
Seeing that one of the development projects on the table was right next to where she was, Xia Huai decided to go and take a look herself.
The problem that had plagued her for over half a month was suddenly solved, and her steps became lighter.
She had been notified in advance, and the project manager personally came out to greet her.
The site was still under construction, and the person in charge reminded her to put on a hard hat, took her on a tour, and explained the land's development plan to her in detail.
Several workers were working nearby, barely keeping the foundation under construction with the previous funding from the Fu family.
The person in charge stepped aside to answer a phone call.
Suddenly, a thin worker wearing a hard hat ran towards her in a panic.
"Are you a police officer? Are you a police officer?!"
His pupils were unfocused, and his fingers trembled as he weakly pointed to the construction site not far away.
"Murder! Murder over there... Run... Run..."
He ran almost instinctively.
Xia Huai saw the people gathered together over there.
"What's so bad about killing the contractor?! He was just a worker too."
"Go! Get rid of those sons of bitches, those capitalists who owe wages!"
They suddenly turned their heads in unison, their fierce gazes fixed on Xia Huai, who looked out of place at the construction site and was dressed in a glamorous manner.
Her fighting skills weren't low, but she definitely couldn't beat a group of men who only had brute strength.
They picked up the broken steel bars and rushed towards Xia Huai.
Xia Huai didn't give herself time to think. She turned around and ran. Her high heels sank into the sand, and she ran barefoot on the sand.
The rough sand and gravel pierced deep into the soles of her feet, causing great pain, but she endured the pain and ran towards the exit.
She thought to herself, "It would be better to run to a crowded place."
Finally, she reached the construction site exit.
But, let alone people, we didn't even see a fly.
This is a newly built mountain road. Buildings are scarce and the infrastructure is incomplete, so almost no one travels this way.
But there was nothing she could do; if she didn't run, she could only wait to be beaten to death by that group of people.
The feet that had just stepped on the sand were now running on the asphalt road, leaving bloody handprints with each step.
Pain and exhaustion caused her to quickly close the gap with the group of workers.
After running only a few steps, the intense pain made Xia Huai feel like she might fall at any moment.
All I could hear was the sound of the wind, which gradually turned into tinnitus, and I realized that my strength was waning.
"Xia Huai!"
"Baby, stop!"
Song Jinshi's voice?
Miraculously, Xia Huai slowed down, but as she slowed down, she was about to fall.
The expected pain did not come; the moment her legs gave way, she fell into a warm embrace.
In the last moment before she lost consciousness, she heard his solemn voice.
"Drop your weapons! Police!"
