By this time, it was getting late, and Fu Zhiqing remained sitting on the ground with her knees drawn up to her chest, saying nothing.
A soft light shone through the thin curtains into the room, illuminating the floor as well.
Seeing this, Fu Zhiqing was stunned and lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.
Just then, the phone lying on the bed nearby vibrated, and the light from the screen illuminated a small section of the ceiling.
Fu Zhiqing moved slightly and realized that her legs had become numb at some point.
She slowly got up from the ground, and finally looked down at her phone just as the screen was about to go out.
She clicked a few times and found that it was a message from a mobile phone service provider.
"snort……"
She gave a cold laugh, and just before she was about to turn off her phone, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her.
Realizing what was happening, Fu Zhiqing quickly pulled out a number hidden in her phone.
She hadn't been in contact with this person for a long time; since their last collaboration, the person seemed to have vanished into thin air.
I don't know if they're dead or alive?
Thinking about her current situation, a flash of annoyance crossed her eyes. After a moment of silence, she finally dialed the number.
Hearing the calls coming from the other end of the phone, Fu Zhiqing remained expressionless, but her hand unconsciously tapped lightly on the bed surface.
Finally, a hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Fu Zhiqing immediately recognized it. She glanced at the closed door in the distance out of the corner of her eye and said in a low voice, "It's me."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone after he said that, before the man spoke again: "So it's Miss Fu. What brings you here, Miss Fu?"
Hearing the other person's teasing voice, Fu Zhiqing frowned: "Stop joking with me. I'm in a bit of trouble right now. Same as always, you do the work for me, and I'll pay you the balance after it's done."
Upon hearing this, the man paused slightly, then chuckled and said, "Alright, Miss Fu, tell me."
"I need you to help me find out who's behind my engagement party and bring them to justice."
When Fu Zhiqing said this, her expression was distorted, and her eyes were filled with intense hatred.
The bed photos weren't a huge deal, but they weren't insignificant either, yet they were released during the engagement party.
They want her dead!
"No problem, but this time I want 200,000."
Unexpectedly, the other party made an exorbitant demand. Fu Zhiqing's expression changed, and she was about to get angry, but after glancing at the door, which remained motionless, she could only suppress her voice and growl, "Why do you want so much? We haven't had this much before."
But hearing her exasperated tone, the man chuckled and said mockingly, "Miss Fu, don't you see the situation? Everyone's watching this. Do you think it'll be easy to investigate?"
Fu Zhiqing's face turned cold, but considering her own situation, she still gritted her teeth and agreed: "Alright, two hundred thousand it is, but you must investigate thoroughly."
"Please rest assured, Miss Fu, we guarantee to complete the mission."
Just before the call was about to end, Fu Zhiqing suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, could you go to the sanatorium and check on him for me, see how he is, whether he's dead or not?"
As she said this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, a calculating glint in them.
The man naturally knew who Fu Zhiqing was referring to.
After all, it was he who was in charge of this matter, so without thinking twice, he immediately agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Zhiqing opened the app and transferred money to the other party.
Fortunately, although she is not allowed to leave the villa now, her father has not cut off her credit card.
Otherwise, she would truly be in a hopeless situation.
As she watched a string of numbers slip away from the card, Fu Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
She had complete faith in the man's professional abilities; since he was investigating, she figured he would find the real culprit quickly.
Thinking of this, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, and a wave of weariness washed over her.
She's been so busy with the engagement party these past few days that she hasn't had a chance to get a proper night's sleep.
As soon as he relaxed a little, he immediately lay down on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
In a hazy state, Fu Zhiqing seemed to be having a dream.
The dream was chaotic, as if I were in a closed space, unable to move or get out.
Fu Zhiqing struggled desperately, but to no avail.
She didn't know how much time had passed when her body suddenly sank, as if she had landed on a bed.
Fu Zhiqing looked around and felt that the scene in front of her was very familiar, as if it were a sanatorium.
The next moment, as if she had thought of something, her expression suddenly changed.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't move at all.
As time ticked by, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, a woman's triumphant voice rang out: "Brother, brother, you've finally met your match."
Fu Zhiqing subconsciously looked up and found that the person standing in front of her had a face exactly like hers.
"ah!"
In the blink of an eye, Fu Zhiqing suddenly sat up.
