Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Knocked Down Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Knocked Down Bai Yurou excitedly pushed open the room door, only to be tackled by a man.
Bai Yurou scread in terror, “Help!”
Fortunately, a passing waiter saw and helped Bai Yurou pull away the man.
Otherwise, Bai Yurou would have been dragged into the room.
Still shaken, Bai Yurou did not see any sign of Nan Qiao in the room.
Upon learning about the incident, the hotel manager imdiately called the police, and Bai Yurou couldn’t stop him in ti.
Five n were arrested by the police, and Bai Yurou was also asked to give a statent.
“Miss Bai,” said the police, “the surveillance shows that you and five n entered the room consecutively, and soon after, you ca out.
Do you know these five n?”
The police had also never seen such a case before—what was Bai Yurou doing with five n in the sa room during broad daylight?
Biting her molars, Bai Yurou said, “Who said I went in with these five people!”
She had paid to have the surveillance destroyed; how could there still be footage!
The police turned on the video and placed it in front of Bai Yurou.
“Miss Bai, the cara caught all of you entering together.
Take a good look, is that not you in the footage?”
Bai Yurou widened her eyes and couldn’t understand how the caras had been restored.
She clenched her fists, unable to refute the evidence.
She couldn’t possibly reveal the truth and could only bite her teeth and remain silent.
Soon after, Chen Xinwan and Nan Qiao arrived.
Seeing the safe Nan Qiao, Bai Yurou’s eyes turned blood red.
It must have been Nan Qiao’s setup!
How did Nan Qiao know she was plotting?
Bai Yurou initially planned to set Nan Qiao up; she had watched Nan Qiao walk in before she left!
…
Chen Xinwan learned the whole story through the police and incredulously looked at Bai Yurou.
“Could it be a misunderstanding?
Why would Yurou be with five hooligans in a single room?” Chen Xinwan couldn’t have imagined such a thing in her wildest dreams.
The police reported truthfully, “The surveillance caught her entering with five n one after the other, and she was even smiling when she ca out.”
Hearing this, Chen Xinwan’s eyes filled with shock.
Having watched Bai Yurou grow up, Chen knew her to be a strong-willed child but never imagined she would associate with ruffians.
Nan Qiao comfortingly said, “Mom, let’s ask Yurou if there’s been a misunderstanding?”
Chen Xinwan and Nan Qiao approached her, finding Bai Yurou emotionally unstable.
She looked up and asked, “How co you are together?”
Bai Yurou was sure, Nan Qiao had co to gloat!
Bai Yurou was extrely agitated, her piercing gaze fixated on Nan Qiao, her anger having no outlet.
Chen Xinwan spoke first, “Yurou, I know the hotel manager; he called about your issue.
I saw Qiaoqiao outside the police station; Qiaoqiao was dealing with her friend Hou Ze’s issue, and we t at the door.”
Even with Chen Xinwan’s explanation, Bai Yurou was still highly emotional.
“Mom, soone is framing !
Soone is doing this on purpose!” Bai Yurou grasped Chen Xinwan’s hand, speaking agitatedly.
Seeing her like this, Chen Xinwan felt pained.
“Yurou, try to calm down a bit,” Chen Xinwan soothed her.
Bai Yurou glared at Nan Qiao with resentnt in her heart.
Nan Qiao looked back at her indifferently, her cold gaze only further agitating Bai Yurou.
Chen Xinwan frowned and asked, “Yurou, why were you with those n?”
The question forced Bai Yurou to calm down.
Bai Yurou took a deep breath and said, “They wanted to kidnap and said if I didn’t listen to them, they would kill .”
Kidnapping?
Nan Qiao couldn’t help but want to laugh again; Bai Yurou had co up with such a la excuse.
“You can move freely, can’t you?
In the surveillance footage, you were the last one to enter the room.
How could you have been kidnapped?” Nan Qiao, in front of everyone, exposed Bai Yurou’s lie.
Bai Yurou: “…”
Grinding her teeth, she said, “They sent soone to follow and instructed to withdraw money.
I took out the money to give to them, and the mont I opened the door, sothing happened.”
Bai Yurou burst into tears and threw herself into Chen Xinwan’s arms, sobbing loudly.
“I’m so scared, Mom, save .”
Bai Yurou cried, her body trembling, and then she fainted.
Nan Qiao watched Bai Yurou’s masterful performance, feeling almost compelled to applaud.
Such acting talent, why not beco an actress?
Nan Qiao didn’t expose Bai Yurou’s sche; so things are better left unsaid.
…
Bai Yurou was taken to the hospital, Chen Xinwan and Nan Qiao dealt with the situation.
After the five n sobered up, they dared not speak recklessly.
As per the previous arrangent, if discovered, they were to claim they were kidnapped for ransom.
There was no choice; Bai Yurou had paid them off too generously.
The police relayed this explanation to Chen Xinwan, who was sowhat skeptical.
There were too many holes in the story.
Chen Xinwan paid to suppress the news, so Bai Yurou’s incident wasn’t exposed.
…
Liu Feng t with Nan Qiao in the garden.
Nan Qiao sat on a swing, shaded by trees, where it wasn’t too hot.
Liu Feng, uneasy, said, “Miss, it’s all my fault, I almost hard you.”
She hadn’t expected Bai Yurou to be plotting within a plot.
If it weren’t for Nan Qiao’s keen insight to see through the sche, Nan Qiao herself would have been the one in trouble.
Nan Qiao said, “Aunt Liu, you don’t need to bla yourself.
To target , Bai Yurou had to make her act believable so you would be deceived.
I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Aunt Liu was still very anxious, heart aching at the thought of how close Nan Qiao had co to being hurt or manipulated.
Angrily, Aunt Liu asked, “Miss, why didn’t you give her a taste of her own dicine, let Bai Yurou have a good look at it!”
Nan Qiao replied, “I didn’t want to embarrass my family because of her.
She is still a mber of the Bai Family.
If she gets into trouble, it’d look bad for our family.”
Had it not been out of consideration for Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang’s feelings, Nan Qiao wouldn’t have been so lenient, and wouldn’t have rely given Bai Yurou a scare.
“Aunt Liu, be more careful in the future.
Since Bai Yurou knows our relationship is special, she will still look for ways to target you and .”
“Rest assured, Miss, I’ll be more cautious from now on.”
Aunt Liu ntally cursed Bai Yurou, calling her a woman of deep malice and wickedness!
Nan Qiao stood up, with Aunt Liu following behind her.
“I’m going to see if Bai Yurou has woken up yet.
She needs to properly face the big gift I’ve delivered.”
Nan Qiao smiled slightly, her face exuding innate confidence, her presence unyielding.
…
Nan Qiao walked into Bai Yurou’s room, all the way to her bedside.
Nan Qiao held a silver needle in her hand, her smile broad, “My dear sister, you haven’t woken up yet.
It seems I’ll need to use this silver needle to wake you up, don’t worry, it won’t hurt much.”
Nan Qiao’s silver needle darted towards Bai Yurou, who quickly rolled over in bed, dodging the needle.
“Nan Qiao, what are you doing!” Bai Yurou shouted, her voice filled with fury.
Nan Qiao sat on the couch, her smile playful, “Oh, not pretending anymore?”
