Chapter 272: See You in the News Headlines.
Then in the next second, she took a step back, step by step, retreating, retreating...
Her exquisitely made-up eyes stared motionlessly at Qin Muni still standing there. With each backward step, the smile on her face became brighter.
Faced with her eerie smile, Qin Muni inexplicably got goosebumps all over.
It wasn’t until Xia Yuge backed up to the edge of the rooftop that Qin Muni realized what Xia Yuge intended to do.
She wanted to jump off the building!
No, she wanted to use the ruse of self-injury to create the illusion of me pushing her off the building.
A gentle breeze swept by, lifting Xia Yuge’s seaweed-like long hair, a few playful strands blew onto her face. She reached out gently to brush the strands behind her ear.
Under the cold moonlight, a sharp, penetrating light flickered in her eyes, as she glared at Qin Muni as if she wished to slice her into a thousand pieces.
"See you in the headlines."
As the simple five words fell, Xia Yuge leaned back, and a piercing scream suddenly echoed by Qin Muni’s ear... "Ah!!"
The people by the pool singing birthday songs for Liang Jiuchen shuddered upon hearing the scream.
Xia Yuge rapidly descended through the air, finally with a heavy splash, she crashed into the pool, sending up a thousand layers of water.
Water splashed onto the guests standing by the pool. Everyone stared at the figure that suddenly fell from the sky into the pool, yet had no reaction to what had happened.
A few seconds later in the silence, a cry of alarm rang out from the closest spot by the pool: "Oh my god! It’s Xia Yuge!"
Splash.
Splash.
The guests standing by the pool quickly jumped into the water to rescue Xia Yuge.
After she was rescued ashore, someone gave her artificial respiration, she coughed up several mouthfuls of water but remained unconscious, showing no sign of awakening.
The man performing the artificial respiration lifted his head, urgently shouting at the crowd encircling him and Xia Yuge: "Quick, call an ambulance."
By the time Qin Muni came downstairs to the pool, chaos had broken out. The originally lively birthday party had its mood dampened due to the sudden incident.
Everyone gazed at Xia Yuge lying on the ground, with faces harboring some sense of confusion and gossip.
The ambulance arrived five minutes later, Xia Yuge was taken to the hospital, along with her male companion who accompanied her in the ambulance.
Xu Yisen searched for a moment before finding the petite Qin Muni in the crowd. He hurriedly stepped towards Qin Muni, asking worriedly, "Munni, are you okay?"
Qin Muni shook her head, yet still showed signs of lingering fear.
She did not expect, Xia Yuge was even so ruthless towards herself.
It seems... she really wanted to use this matter to bring Qin Muni to ruin!
Because of this sudden strange incident, everyone lost the desire to celebrate, finding excuses to leave Liang Jiuchen’s villa.
After Qin Muni and Xu Yisen changed clothes, they also bid farewell to Liang Jiuchen.
On the way home, Xu Yisen glanced sideways at Qin Muni, who sat in the passenger seat deep in thought, and asked, "Gave you quite a scare, right?"
Qin Muni nodded lightly, then tilted her head to the side, turning her gaze out the window.
Seeing that she was startled, Xu Yisen wisely refrained from interrupting her with further talk.
As the car approached Fanluoju, Qin Muni’s phone suddenly rang in her bag, she took it out to check the caller ID, it was Liang Jiuchen.
She swiped her finger to answer the call, and immediately Liang Jiuchen’s irate voice came through from the other end: "Sis, a video suddenly circulated online! It was the video of you and Yuge taking the elevator to the rooftop just now!"
