Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 66

There was something wrong with what Peng Zhi’en said. Xie Jingcheng sensed the strangeness instantly and remembered the glass of wine she had drunk.

This glass of wine had been knocked by someone before, and if Song Qingxing hadn’t quickly steadied it, it would have surely spilled.

Now, looking back, this was a complete, coordinated scheme, and the goal was to make her drink that wine.

“You have quite the nerve.”

Xie Jingcheng’s eyes were red, but even in such a terrible predicament, she still maintained her composure, showing the demeanor of an unflinching female general.

“However, Peng Zhi’en, think clearly. If you dare to take one step today, I won’t just come after you. Your friends, everyone you know…”

Who can’t make a threat?

Xie Jingcheng could, too.

However, Peng Zhi’en was already at rock bottom and wasn’t afraid of Xie Jingcheng’s few words of warning. He took a few more steps forward.

“So you have moments of fear, too? I thought you would always maintain that high-and-mighty look.”

The stick in his hand swayed gently. At this moment, the resentment that had been suppressed for many days erupted, and he genuinely felt immensely satisfied.

Song Qingxing retreated a few steps, but she knew there was no going back. She felt a bit scared, but she couldn’t retreat. If she did, what would happen to Xie Jingcheng?

Song Qingxing shielded Xie Jingcheng slightly behind her, raised her eyes, and looked directly at Peng Zhi’en.

” Peng Zhi’en, I advise you to be rational.”

“Rational my ass!”

Peng Zhi’en raised the stick. Xie Jingcheng was about to defend herself when she felt a hard shove. Song Qingxing took the blow on her shoulder.

It hurt so much that she winced.

Warm blood flowed down her shoulder. It had been a long time since Song Qingxing had experienced such pain; the last time was when she fell from a horse while acting.

The shattered bone fragments pierced her skin, and the pain of the fresh blood and broken bones made her nearly bite off a piece of her lower lip.

This modified spiked club was truly vicious!

“Qingxing…”

Xie Jingcheng covered her head but knew she needed to be rational at this moment. She pulled out her phone. Unlike an ordinary phone, Xie Jingcheng’s had software for emergency location transmission.

The phone vibrated. Peng Zhi’en naturally noticed the movement and quickly ran over, stepping on the phone.

The screen cracked like a spiderweb, but it was too late—the message had already been sent. Xie Jingcheng leaned against the car door, swaying as she stood up.

Although her body was weak, she could still unleash infinite potential in a moment of crisis.

Xie Jingcheng snatched the stick from his hand. The move was quick and sudden, so much so that even Peng Zhi’en hadn’t anticipated it. Xie Jingcheng’s hair was disheveled, and her eyes were red.

At this moment, she looked like a Shura from hell. She brandished the stick in her hand, but her wrist was trembling constantly. The effect of that glass of wine was quite potent after all.

Xie Jingcheng hesitated to bring it down.

She covered her head, feeling a bout of dizziness.

“Quickly, take her away!”

Peng Zhi’en had been waiting for this moment. Just as he was about to lay hands on Xie Jingcheng, Song Qingxing stood in front of him.

“What are you trying to do?”

Song Qingxing picked up the stick. She had lived a second life, after all. If it were her in the previous life, she might have been panicked by this scene.

But now she was different; she had become calmer in such situations. Although her fingers were trembling non-stop, her hand never let go of the hammer.

“Don’t come any closer! If you try to hurt Xie Jingcheng, I’ll hit you!”

Song Qingxing’s voice trembled.

Peng Zhi’en, however, acted as if he hadn’t heard, insistent on carrying away the semi-conscious Xie Jingcheng.

Seeing that the man refused to let go, Song Qingxing could only grit her teeth and swing the stick twice with a dull thud.

Peng Zhi’en was like a provoked beast. He covered his neck, blood seeping through his fingers.

“How dare you strike me!”

Just as Peng Zhi’en was about to pounce, a commotion erupted in the parking lot.

“Stop!”

The bodyguards shouted with full force. Seeing the scene, they almost fainted. If Xie Jingcheng was injured like this, they would certainly face a deduction in their bonuses and a severe reprimand.

“Damn it…”

Peng Zhi’en covered his head. If Xie Jingcheng’s bodyguards caught him, he was definitely done for.

“Get out of here!”

He finished speaking and told the brothers who had come with him to escape, but the bodyguards wouldn’t allow it.

One of them dove and pinned one man down, beating him up fiercely, like slaughtering a pig for the New Year.

A pig-like squeal echoed throughout the parking lot.

The few who followed afterward were stunned when they saw this, especially the sight of the unconscious Xie Jingcheng. Several assistants almost fainted on the spot.

Song Qingxing helped Xie Jingcheng up.

Yu Zhi also rushed over, reeking of alcohol, clearly having drunk quite a bit in the private room. Seeing Song Qingxing’s continuously bleeding fingers, she nearly lost her mind.

“My ancestors, how did you two end up like this…”

She didn’t finish her sentence when she saw the men being pinned to the ground, and she immediately understood: this was an enemy seeking revenge.

“Don’t just stand there, take them to the hospital.”

A bodyguard calmly instructed from the side.

Song Qingxing, however, shook her head.

“We can’t go to the hospital.”

In the current situation, if they didn’t call the Xie family’s dedicated doctor, the news would likely spread everywhere.

“Why…”

The confused bodyguard didn’t finish his sentence when he realized. The eyes of Xie Jingcheng, who was being supported, were hazy. This clearly wasn’t the result of any proper means.

“Right, we can’t refuse, we need to call a private doctor.”

For the sake of the young lady’s reputation, the bodyguard immediately changed his mind.

Xie Jingcheng was sent back to the hotel, and the private doctor rushed over. Xie Jingcheng was always accompanied by a doctor; wherever she went, the doctor followed.

But they usually didn’t appear often.

The doctor was wearing shorts, clearly having swum back from some resort.

“Looking after Miss was supposed to be a relaxing job; why has it become like this now?”

The doctor opened his medical kit and rummaged for some medication. He first fed some to Xie Jingcheng, then turned his attention to Song Qingxing.

“Miss Song, let me treat your wound.”

“Wounds from this kind of blunt force are difficult to heal completely.”

“Thank you.”

Song Qingxing watched as he picked up scissors, cut away her clothing, and began carefully treating the wound. Fortunately, the wound wasn’t very deep.

The doctor sighed in relief.

“Luckily, you don’t need stitches, otherwise you’d truly have to go to the hospital.”

He finished and started tidying up his things, his movements swift.

“Miss’s condition won’t be resolved with just medication…”

The doctor walked to the door before hesitating.

“Miss Song, are you two lovers?”

Song Qingxing: …

She bit her lower lip, feeling a little embarrassed. Why did it feel like the whole world knew about this?

“Yes.”

“Then, I’ll have to rely on you.”

The doctor left, leaving behind a silent room.
