When I Woke Up, I Had Three Romantic Partners - Chapter 66

Chi Jinqing’s expression grew cold: “Xiao He, I told you I don’t like people lying to me.”

Xiao He choked, but finally confessed truthfully.

“Sis Si gave it to me before she left.”

She rubbed her hands and mumbled, “Including Sis Qin, they both left me a lot of evidence, but they told me not to tell you directly. They said they were afraid you wouldn’t accept it, and for a lot of things, it’s better for you not to know, Sis.”

Chi Jinqing countered, “Do you think not knowing anything is good for me?”

Xiao He pursed her lips and remained silent. She knew it wasn’t good, but under the temptation of being able to help Chi Jinqing in this way, she couldn’t resist.

Chi Jinqing reached out her hand to her: “Give it to me.”

Xiao He hesitated, slowly extending her hand.

As Chi Jinqing took the phone, Xiao He immediately gripped her hand tightly, pressing her lips together, her eyes uncertain as she said, “Sis, once you look at this, there’s no going back.”

Chi Jinqing gave a self-deprecating laugh: “Do you think I can go back if I don’t look?”

From the moment she woke up, there was no going back to any of this.

Whether she wanted to repair or abandon this relationship, she couldn’t go back. She could only stay here, passively enduring everything.

Seeing that she was truly insistent, Xiao He handed the phone to her, whispering, “If you really feel you can’t handle it, I can pretend I don’t know anything.”

Chi Jinqing paused with the hand that was about to open the file. After a long while, she pretended to be nonchalant and said, “No need.”

“Everyone has their fate. This is mine.”

She tapped to open the folder. Everything was neatly sorted and organized. Every page contained well-placed accusations and evidence, enough to put Su Yunhui and Zhuge Wei behind bars for the rest of their lives.

Chi Jinqing’s hand trembled slightly: “Is… is all of this true?”

Xiao He looked away: “It’s all true.”

Chi Jinqing’s eyes reddened slightly: “She’s done so many things? Why… was she able to stay in this circle for so long and receive so much respect?”

Xiao He was also reluctant, but she had to shatter Chi Jinqing’s innocence: “That’s just how this industry is. If no one reports it, it won’t be discovered. Although it’s much better now than in the past, and many things, once gone, are easily noticed by people, there are still many things that can’t be spoken of in detail in remote places or corners that people don’t pay much attention to.”

Chi Jinqing took a deep breath, feeling that what she was facing was terrifying, so terrifying that she had been completely unaware of it.

“When are you going to send these things out?”

Chi Jinqing clenched her fists: “Someone like her should be locked up until she dies, not living happily as if nothing ever happened.”

Xiao He comforted her: “If you want, we can send it to the police station right now, and the police will naturally make the correct decision.”

Chi Jinqing handed the phone to her: “Go.”

Xiao He took it, and just as she was about to personally take it, she heard Chi Jinqing say, “Be careful.”

Xiao He was startled, feeling a warmth in her heart: “Okay.”

After Xiao He left, Chi Jinqing finally sat down in her chair. Her rigid body made her realize that she wasn’t as calm as she thought. She looked at her palms shaking with anger, and felt worried for Xiao He.

Since Qin Song and Si Jiamo knew to send the evidence to her, what about Su Yunhui?

Couldn’t she have foreseen this?

Si Jiamo and Su Yunhui had known each other for so many years, mutually achieving success. Si Jiamo could know so much about Su Yunhui’s background, would Su Yunhui really just let it go?

Would she be so reckless?

Chi Jinqing didn’t believe it. If she could think of it, how could Su Yunhui not?

—Xiao He is in danger!

Realizing this, Chi Jinqing quickly called Xiao He to tell her to come back.

Xiao He, who had just exited the company gate, saw the incoming call on her phone. As soon as she answered, a car speeding down the road charged towards Xiao He, showing no sign of braking.

Before Chi Jinqing could speak, she heard a sharp, panicked scream from an unfamiliar female voice on Xiao He’s end: “Get out of the way—”

Xiao He looked up, only to see a black sedan hurtling straight towards her, with no intention of stopping. Her eyes widened, and she froze on the spot, her legs seemingly glued to the ground, unable to move.

In that moment, she had only two words in her mind—It’s over.

“Crash—!”

The car violently rammed into the company gate, the front end severely damaged from the force of impact. The person in the driver’s seat died instantly.

Xiao He’s phone also fell to the ground, the screen shattered, and the call disconnected.

On the other side, Chi Jinqing, hearing the sound, felt her heart stop mid-beat. Her ears were ringing, her mind went blank, and she sat there in a daze. The blood around her body seemed to freeze, and she was numb and stiff, unable to move.

After a long while, Chi Jinqing finally snapped out of that state. Her voice was hoarse, and when she opened her mouth, it was laced with a sob: “Xiao He!”

Xiao He, who had been pushed away at the last moment, was completely shaken. She gasped for air, utterly stunned. If she hadn’t been pushed away just now…

Pushed away…

Where’s her phone?!

She absolutely couldn’t lose the things inside!

Relying on sheer willpower, she used her last bit of strength to crawl up and quickly search for her phone.

Fortunately, the phone hadn’t been thrown far. Unfortunately, the phone was broken, split into two pieces.

She put the pieces together, wiped them, and quickly stuffed them into her pocket, then went to find the person who saved her.

The man, holding his scraped arm, sat on the ground watching her look for her phone. He expressed particular admiration for Xiao He, who, despite nearly being hit by a car, still thought to look for her phone first.

Seeing Xiao He return with the phone, he also stood up. Xiao He looked apologetically at his scraped body, nervously saying, “Why don’t we go to the hospital? Your wound looks quite serious.”

The man looked at Xiao He. Clearly, she was also quite injured, so how could she not notice?

He shook his head, pointed to Xiao He’s arm, and gestured for her to look at herself.

Xiao He tilted her head in confusion. This movement pulled at her wound, and combined with the relief of a weight being lifted from her heart, she belatedly realized she was also injured and immediately felt pain.

“Ouch, hiss…”

The man shook his head helplessly. Honestly, how could she be so oblivious?

He used sign language, but Xiao He couldn’t understand it, so he had no choice but to take out the paper and pen he always carried and write.

You look more serious than me. Go to the hospital after calling 110.

Only then did Xiao He realize he was mute. She nodded repeatedly: “You go too, you go too. You saved me, I can’t just let you leave like this. You should also get checked out.”

The man shook his head, indicating he was fine.

Xiao He insisted: “No, you can’t just look at the surface. What if you have internal injuries?”

Just then, Chi Jinqing rushed out of the company and ran towards them. She wasn’t wearing a mask, and the people around her were startled to see her, but Chi Jinqing didn’t care. She pushed through the crowd and looked towards Xiao He.

Seeing Xiao He, who, although injured, was safe, her tears instantly burst out like a flood.

“Xiao He!”

Chi Jinqing rushed over and hugged her, terrified. Her tears instantly soaked Xiao He’s clothes. Xiao He finally realized that Chi Jinqing had come out. She hugged her back and patted the back of her head, gently comforting her: “I’m fine, someone saved me.”

“Thank goodness your call came in time. If I had walked a bit further, I definitely wouldn’t have been saved.”

Xiao He hugged Chi Jinqing tightly, still scared. In that moment, she truly thought she was finished.

Chi Jinqing was even more terrified. She had thought that her call was what caused Xiao He’s accident. If that were the case, she would never forgive herself.

“You scared me to death…”

Chi Jinqing looked at Xiao He through tearful eyes, then turned to the man who saved Xiao He and thanked him profusely: “Thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, I truly don’t know how I would…”

The man looked at Chi Jinqing, his face flushing, and waved his hands repeatedly.

The people around had already called the police. The police arrived, took the three of them away, and also called a doctor to take away the body.

At the police station, Xiao He recounted what happened, and also mentioned Su Yunhui’s matter, handing over the evidence. Because the phone was smashed, the heavy fall caused the screen to shatter and the phone to split into two halves. It was unknown if the contents inside were affected.

The police officer said: “We will have someone repair it. As for what you mentioned, if it’s all true, we will immediately arrange to file a case. We will also have our own personnel fix this phone.”

After all, if the phone truly contained so much information, it absolutely couldn’t be repaired by anyone else, in case it was swapped or the information inside was extracted.

“What you said just now makes us suspect that this might not be a simple accident but possibly murder. You should try to live under police surveillance for the time being.”

“The person who tried to harm you failed this time, but there will definitely be a next time.”

Hearing this, Chi Jinqing nervously gripped Xiao He’s hand, her lips tightly sealed: “Then… what should we do?”

“If that person continues to do such things…”

The thought of Xiao He leaving her, leaving this world, because of this, made Chi Jinqing feel a surge of breathlessness.

She didn’t have many people she could trust, and Xiao He was the only one she could wholeheartedly trust in this situation. She couldn’t lose her.

Xiao He patted Chi Jinqing’s hand reassuringly. Although Xiao He was usually unreliable, in a moment like this, her rough and ready nature made her unexpectedly calm.

The police officer also looked troubled: “Well, we can only try our best to assign people to protect you.”

“We will have to wait until the data from your phone is extracted before we can issue an arrest warrant.”

After leaving the police station, Chi Jinqing was still extremely nervous. She couldn’t believe that Su Yunhui would do something like this in broad daylight. Even without evidence, she could guess that this was Su Yunhui’s warning.

The other party was warning her that if she truly spoke out, Xiao He would be the first scapegoat.

The people around her would be injured, one by one, by Su Yunhui, or even… killed.

The other party had completely lost it and didn’t care about anything anymore.

Chi Jinqing’s body was shaking with fear.

What should she do?

What could she do against this mad woman?
