Cen Xiaosi’s screams lodged in her throat as she felt herself being shifted further outward, her fear paralyzing her to the point where she dared not move.
Tears streamed down her face as she realized the gravity of her situation. “Let me go! Let me go! This is murder!” she cried out, her voice trembling with terror.
Did Si Fuqing truly lose her sanity?
She Imew the entertainment industry was full of paparazzi and informers. Wasn’t Si Fuqing afraid of being caught on camera and adding to her already controversial reputation?
Cen Xiaosi was aware of Si Fuqing’s notoriously aggressive haters, some even going to the extent of attacking her backstage with acid.
Meanwhile, Si Fuqing, holding Cen Xiaosi by the shoulder with one hand, asked calmly, “Ningning, how long until the police arrive?”
“Five minutes,” Jiang Changning replied from the doorway, her back leaned against the door. “They’ll be here soon.”
The other girl in the room remained silent, too frightened to even breathe loudly.
“Good,” Si Fuqing responded nonchalantly. “Then you can stay here for another five minutes.’
Cen Xiaosi, hanging precariously over the edge, felt the imminent threat of falling.
The fear of plummeting from the sixteenth floor overwhelmed her, reducing her to a state of desperation. “Please don’t let go, I beg you!” she pleaded, no longer the arrogant person she was moments ago.
“That depends,” Si Fuqing’s grip loosened slightly. “We are on the sixteenth floor, aren’t we?”
Cen Xiaosi, too terrified to scream, shook violently.
Suddenly, an unpleasant odor filled the air – she had lost control of her bladder and bowels out of sheer terror.
Si Fuqing, still holding her, tilted her head, “Weren’t you quite arrogant earlier?”
Just then, Jiang Changning called out, “Qingqing, they’re here.” Si Fuqing then leisurely pulled Cen Xiaosi back in and released her.
“Police! She tried to murder me!” Cen Xiaosi scrambled away, her voice shrill with panic. “She was about to throw me out of the window, she wanted to kill me, officer!”
The arriving police officers hesitated, instinctively looking towards Si Fuqing. Si Fuqing, appearing innocent, said, “Officer, I’m not very strong.” Jiang Changning pinched the bridge of her nose, a gesture of exasperation.
“You’re lying!” Cen Xiaosi’s voice was piercing. “You lifted me up with just one hand, how can you say you’re not strong!”
Despite her confusion over Si Fuqing’s sudden change, Cen Xiaosi knew that Si Fuqing had always been perceived as frail and weak during her time in the group.
Jiang Changning spoke calmly, “Last year during our physical examination, you weighed 105 pounds, and Si Fuqing only 95. How could she lift you?”
“The surveillance footage has been reviewed,” the police officer nodded. “It only shows you breaking into their room and damaging their property. There’s no evidence to support your claim.”
Cen Xiaosi was incredulous, “That’s impossible!”
“She destroyed quite a few of our skincare products,” Si Fuqing said, arms crossed. “Ningning, how much were your skincare products worth?” Jiang Changning hesitated, then admitted, “Probably a few hundred thousand.”
Her father might not be good at many things, but the herbs he sold were extremely valuable.
Cen Xiaosi was even more shocked, ‘What are you talking about? Hundreds of thousands? Are you trying to scam me?”
How could unbranded skincare products be worth that much? Even international luxury brands didn’t price their products so high!
“I have appraisal certificates and various ingredient proofs from the institution, ” Jiang Changning said dismissively, not wanting to waste her breathe on Cen Xiaosi. “Just because they’re not sold publicly doesn’t mean they’re not worth that much.”
The police officer’s expression changed upon seeing the documents, immediately treating Jiang Changning with respect, “The damage is worth hundreds of thousands, we can file a case.”
Cen Xiaosi was dumbfounded at the statement, “That’s just a no-name brand, what hundreds of thousands!”
If Jiang Changning used luxury brands, Cen Xiaosi would have been more cautious.
But the bottles looked cheap; what miraculous ingredients could they contain to be so expensive?
“Mine were cheaper, probably in the tens of thousands range,” Si Fuqing added slowly. “Officer, let her out only after she’s compensated us in full.” The officer nodded, “The hotel will also be imposed a penalty.”
Cen Xiaosi was taken away, unlikely to be released soon.
She had considerable savings, but she was not willing to pay Jiang Changning such a large sum.
“We can’t stay here now,” Si Fuqing kicked the door again. “Let’s find another hotel. ”
Jiang Changning agreed, “Let’s go.”
As they left, the room was left with just one girl remaining.
She shivered for a while before pulling out her phone, sobbing, “Sister Feng, you need to come here fast. Si Fuqing has gone crazy….”
