The man looked at Ren Xiya in disbelief.
"You... you know my purpose?"
"Calling me Miss Ren right away, even an idiot knows you came prepared, right?"
Ren Xiya took out a lighter and lit a slender cigarette at her lips.
She took a puff, blowing smoke rings towards the man.
The man paused: "You’re not drunk?"
Ren Xiya continued smoking: "The person who sent you really doesn’t know me at all. I’ve reached this position, and you think I would be drunk after a couple of drinks?"
The man’s face tightened, pulling out a knife from under the pillow, glaring fiercely at Ren Xiya.
"So what, you think you can walk out of this hotel? I’ve prepared a bath for you in the bathroom, and the hairdryer is plugged in."
"Very thoughtful, but... you don’t get to decide," Ren Xiya said softly.
Upon hearing this, the man sneered.
"Since Miss Ren doesn’t want to die painless, I can only offer you another method of dying."
Obviously, he didn’t take Ren Xiya seriously.
He raised the knife and charged at her.
Ren Xiya swiftly dodged, snuffing out her cigarette in the process.
Back when the bodyguards of Mr. Gong forced her to kneel to the ground, she sought out a Muay Thai coach for extensive training afterward.
She was not afraid of this man before her.
But simply killing the man before her was not her goal.
While dodging, Ren Xiya seemed to trip and fell straight onto the bed.
The man revealed a triumphant smile, directly stabbing toward Ren Xiya’s abdomen.
Ren Xiya dodged, and the knife merely grazed her side.
Suddenly, the room door was slammed open.
"Police! Freeze!"
The man was stunned while Ren Xiya smiled at him, then shouted for help.
"Help! Murder!"
The man finally realized Ren Xiya had planned this from the start.
But he had no escape route, so he raised his hands in surrender.
He mouthed: I won’t say anything.
Ren Xiya raised an eyebrow: Even if you don’t speak, I will.
The man didn’t understand her meaning and was about to speak when the police pinned him to the ground.
Ren Xiya lay on the bed allowing others to press against her wound, then feigned panic pointing toward a bag at the door.
"He, he tried to kill me. That’s his bag, it must have identification."
"..."
The man’s expression stiffened.
That bag was Ren Xiya’s, she had him carry it for her.
He thought he had gained her trust, never realizing it was a trap from the beginning. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The police opened the bag, finding a bottle with medicine and a rope.
Most crucial was the evidence of hiring a hitman to kill.
The police frowned as they looked at the phone inside: "Gong Yao? Could it be..."
The man finally realized the fearfulness of Ren Xiya.
"No! I’m not! She forged the evidence!"
"Whether or not, let’s discuss it clearly at the police station!"
The police handcuffed the man and lifted him up.
On the other side, a police officer was calming the ’overwhelmed’ Ren Xiya.
"Don’t worry, the ambulance is almost here."
"Make a call for me," Ren Xiya weakly said.
"Sure, sure, who should I call?"
"Li Huan."
...
Hospital.
Li Huan was reviewing the duty schedule.
He’s on duty at the clinic next week, no emergency patients, finally a little relaxation.
Just as he was happy, a call came through from the police.
"Do you know Ren Xiya?"
"Don’t know... wait, who? Miss Ren? What happened to her?"
The phrase Miss Ren slipped out naturally.
This was his only impression of Ren Xiya.
Definitely a cold and ruthless heiress from TV dramas.
The police explained: "She was stabbed with a knife alongside a man in bed."
