If You Decive Me, I'll Break Your Waist

Huo Siye glanced at the rope in his hand, then at the messy little lunatic in front of him.

His dark eyes held an indescribable coldness.

"Hurry up!" Xingkong urged when she saw he wasn't moving.

Huo Siye sneered. "You're the first person who dares to make me tie someone up."

Xingkong raised an eyebrow. "If Fourth Lord likes it, we can try a different place next time. Like... on the bed, or maybe on the sofa. As long as Fourth Lord enjoys it, not to mention being tied up, we can—"

"Shut up!"

Xingkong gave him a mischievous smile.

Huo Siye took a deep breath and tied her up. He even looped the rope around her wound on purpose.

Xingkong leaned in close and whispered in his ear, "Thank you for helping me, Fourth Lord~"

"If you dare to deceive me, I'll break your waist."

After saying that, he turned and left the balcony.

At this moment, Dong Ruzhu finally realized that the man with Shen Xinai wasn't Huo Siye at all, it was Qi Heng!

Her expression changed instantly. She rushed forward, blocking the reporters while shouting hysterically, "No photos! No photos!"

Then, she hurriedly ran over to Shen Xinai and Qi Heng, pushing Qi Heng away before grabbing a piece of clothing from the sofa to cover Shen Xinai's exposed body.

"Xinai! Wake up! Look, it's Mom! How are you? Please wake up!"

Dong Ruzhu knew the only way to salvage the situation was to make everyone believe that Shen Xinai had been drugged. Otherwise, if this got out, it would be a complete disaster!

She kept slapping Shen Xinai's face. "What did you drink? Xinai, tell Mom, was there something wrong with the drink Xingkong gave you? Don't scare Mom… Xinai…"

Shen Xinai's cheeks stung from the slaps, and she finally regained consciousness.

She looked at Qi Heng, then at the gleeful reporters. Suddenly, she panicked. "Mom… Mom…"

"Calm down, Mom is here." Dong Ruzhu comforted her gently.

Shen Xinai nodded shakily, a flash of hatred in her eyes. It was Shen Xingkong! It was her!

"Xinai, where's Xingkong? Weren't you here to find her? Didn't you say she was on a date with Qi Heng? How could this happen? Don't be afraid. Tell Mom, Mom and these reporters will help you."

Shen Xinai quickly understood the situation. "I don't know… I was knocked out as soon as I walked in. When I woke up, it was already like this… Mom, did Xingkong harm me? That's impossible. I've always been good to her. She wouldn't hurt me…"

The reporters, however, weren't convinced. Their expressions were full of amusement.

Just then, a weak voice called out.

"Help… help me… someone… help…"

Some sharp-eared reporters caught it.

"Someone's calling for help! Did you hear that?"

"Really? I didn't hear anything."

"I think I heard it too. Listen carefully."

"Help… help… can anyone save me?"

The voice came again.

The reporters were stunned. "I heard it too!"

"There's really someone calling for help!"

"Quick, let's check it out!"

"I found it! Over here!"

Several reporters followed the sound and found a person behind the screen near the guest elevator.

"Oh my god! It's… it's Shen Xingkong!"

"She looks injured… she's covered in blood!"

The reporters were shocked to see Shen Xingkong curled up on the floor. Her hands and feet were tied, and her blood-soaked white dress revealed deep wounds.

"Please… help me… don't let… don't let my sister kill me… I didn't see anything… I don't know anything…"

"Please, help me…"

"Miss Shen, should we call the police for you?" one reporter asked, unable to bear seeing her like this. "This is torture!"

"No!" Shen Xingkong's face filled with fear. "Don't call the police… my sister and mother will be angry…"

Poor, helpless Shen Xingkong.

She looked like she might die at any moment, yet she was too afraid to report them.

Anyone with a brain could see what was going on.

Dong Ruzhu and Shen Xinai walked over, both stunned by the sight of Shen Xingkong.

They exchanged glances, confused about what had happened.

But no matter what, they had to pin the blame on Shen Xingkong today. Otherwise, Shen Xinai's reputation would be ruined.

"Xingkong! Even though you're my adopted daughter, I've always treated you like my own. How could you frame your sister like this?" Dong Ruzhu accused, her eyes red with fake grief. "Why did you trick your sister into coming here? Why did you collude with Qi Heng? Xingkong, you really disappoint me."

"Yes! Sister, I always treat you well. How could you hurt me like this? Xingkong… I'm really sad…"

Shen Xingkong secretly sneered.

What great actors. They got into character so quickly.

With a fearful expression, she stammered, "Mom, Sister… what are you talking about? I don't understand… I didn't collude with Brother Qi Heng… Sister asked me to bring wine to Fourth Prince… but when I got here, Fourth Prince wasn't in the room. Brother Qi Heng insisted on drinking it… I didn't know there was something wrong with the wine… Sister, I'm sorry… I didn't handle things well… Please don't kill me… I know I was wrong… I really know…"

"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Shen Xinai's face twisted with rage.

How dare she!

Seeing Shen Xinai's humiliated expression, Shen Xingkong felt a twisted satisfaction.

In her past life, she had never seen Shen Xinai look this embarrassed.

Back then, Shen Xinai had used her own hands to secure her engagement with Huo Siye. She had been so proud.

"Miss Shen, are you saying that you brought wine to Fourth Prince on behalf of your sister?" a reporter asked curiously.

Panic flashed across Shen Xingkong's face.

She hesitated, then shook her head at the reporter. "I… I can't say anymore… Otherwise, my sister and mother will really kill me…"

"Shen Xingkong! Shut up! When did Xinai ask you to bring wine to Fourth Prince? And when did we ever say we'd kill you?!" Dong Ruzhu exploded with anger.

She had no idea how things had gone so wrong.

This was clearly Huo Siye's room. Why had it turned into Qi Heng's? How did Shen Xinai end up with Qi Heng?

Dong Ruzhu glared at Shen Xingkong.

This useless girl had ruined everything. What was the point of keeping her?

The reporters looked at Shen Xingkong's pitiful state, then at Dong Ruzhu and Shen Xinai's furious expressions.

Suddenly, they understood everything.
