He Xia rushed towards Mu Yin Yin.
Mu Yin Yin's cold smile deepened. Their mother-daughter act was quite something; not playing along would be a waste of their efforts.
The next moment, a scream pierced the air.
"Ah!"
Mu Yin Yin shrieked, feigning terror.
He Xia seized the opportunity, grabbing Mu Yin Yin and pinning her neck, pressing her towards Nan Shiqing.
"Yin Yin, don't be rash! I beg you, if you have any grievances, take them out on me. Don't lay a hand on Shiqing. What Shiqing said is true; she was looking for you the moment she woke up. Don't, ah! Yin Yin, how could you, how could you do this?"
He Xia's act began.
First, she put on a show of suffering and gentleness, then her emotions started to spiral out of control.
She screamed in fear, her voice trembling.
Mu Yin Yin struggled, retorting angrily, "What did I do? Don't blame me for everything; I didn't..."
Before she could finish, Mu Yin Yin felt a sharp pain at the back of her head.
It hurt, not enough to knock her out, but she played along with their charade.
She closed her eyes and fell backward.
He Xia caught her immediately, preventing her from hitting the ground.
Then, she felt He Xia grab her hand, forcing it onto something cold. Mu Yin Yin understood instantly.
The next second, she heard He Xia's heart-wrenching cry, "Shiqing, are you alright? Someone, quickly, call for help! Someone's life is in danger..."
He Xia's cries alerted the bodyguards stationed at the door, as well as Fu Siye, who had just arrived.
Hearing the words "life is in danger," Fu Siye pushed the door open and strode in.
Mu Yin Yin and Nan Shiqing lay on the floor, Nan Shiqing's wrist bearing a bloody gash.
This scene immediately darkened Fu Siye's face.
His anger boiled over. "What happened?"
Fu Siye's arrival brought a hidden delight to He Xia, but outwardly, she sobbed even harder. "It's about the design drafts, the press conference, and some of Yin Yin's father's belongings. The sisters were arguing, and Yin Yin, having been doted on since childhood, sometimes acts on impulse. For the sisters to end up like this, I am truly unforgivable!"
Fu Siye paid no heed to He Xia's words. He noticed the fresh red on the wrist and the floor, and immediately shouted towards the door, "Get the doctor here!"
Following that, Fu Siye bent down, picked up Nan Shiqing, and placed her on the bed.
Shortly after, a large contingent of medical personnel entered.
Although Mu Yin Yin kept her eyes closed, pretending to be unconscious, her hearing was fine. Moreover, she was still lying on the ground, completely ignored by Fu Siye.
The sarcasm in her heart intensified, but she also felt a sense of release. If Fu Siye were to pick her up, wouldn't the sun rise in the west?
Within two to three minutes, she had regained her composure and heard the doctor's voice, "Mr. Fu, Miss Nan's wound, while not life-threatening, is quite deep. Although it's been stitched and bandaged, it will leave a scar."
"Also, Miss Nan had her stomach pumped earlier. It's important to pay attention to her emotional state."
Everyone's attention was focused on Nan Shiqing. Mu Yin Yin felt she had played her part long enough. She opened her eyes and slowly stood up.
Fu Siye didn't respond. As the medical staff prepared to leave, He Xia noticed Mu Yin Yin, who had now 'woken up.'
He Xia cried out urgently and rushed to Mu Yin Yin, "Yin Yin, you're awake? Are you alright? Come quickly, have someone check on Yin Yin, see if Yin Yin is hurt!"
With her shout, all eyes turned towards Mu Yin Yin.
Naturally, this included Fu Siye.
Setting aside others, Fu Siye's dark eyes burned, his gaze as sharp as a blade.
The next second, Fu Siye strode towards her.
"Mu... Yin... Yin." Fu Siye gritted out her name, his tall frame standing like a mountain before her.
His eyes blazed with furious intensity.
Everything unfolded as she had anticipated.
He Xia, however, reached out and pulled Mu Yin Yin towards her, still crying, "Yin Yin, I don't blame you for the argument between you and Shiqing. Come, let Auntie check if you're injured?"
As she spoke, He Xia scrutinized Mu Yin Yin from head to toe.
He Xia's appearance seemed genuinely concerned for her, placing her above all else.
"Someone, take Mu Yin Yin to the police station!" Fu Siye shouted to the bodyguards outside, his voice cold and sharp. He didn't look at Mu Yin Yin again.
He feared losing control and laying hands on her.
As soon as he spoke, the bodyguards from outside entered.
As they moved to apprehend Mu Yin Yin, she swiftly and nimbly evaded them.
A flicker of surprise crossed Fu Siye's eyes. Her skills were this good?
He Xia took a breath, then turned to implore Fu Siye, "Mr. Fu, Yin Yin didn't do it on purpose. If you send Yin Yin to the police station, she'll be ruined!"
"Who accidentally injures someone like this?" Fu Siye scoffed coldly.
As he spoke, Fu Siye's gaze locked onto Mu Yin Yin, his dark eyes piercing. Mu Yin Yin noticed the look, one that wished to see her dismembered.
Mu Yin Yin immediately sneered and retorted, "Then who would heavily protect the killer of their own daughter? If you truly thought of me, why would you keep Mu Shi firmly in your grasp?"
She hadn't intended to argue, but sometimes, a gradual approach was necessary.
She needed Fu Siye to fully see through the actions of this mother and daughter.
"Previously, you weren't interested in Mu Shi. Later, you directly said Mu Shi would be given to us. I've been managing Mu Shi for some time now. If you want it, I will certainly give it to you, but it requires some time, doesn't it? Yin Yin, we've explained everything to you. I don't blame you for Shiqing's incident, why don't you understand Auntie's feelings for you?" He Xia first explained, then questioned.
Her words were slow, and as she continued, her voice grew choked.
Within moments, He Xia's eyes were already red.
"Why are you still not moving?"
Seeing that the bodyguards were hesitant to act, Fu Siye lost his patience and barked furiously.
Just as the bodyguards were about to move again, Mu Yin Yin coldly stared at Fu Siye, her voice resonating, "I'll go to the police station myself. I don't need Mr. Fu's lackeys to control me."
Saying this, Mu Yin Yin took out her phone and dialed the emergency number.
"Hello, is this 110? I'm being framed for murder. My personal safety is extremely compromised, and they are about to take action against me at any moment. I'm very scared... I'm currently in the hospital, yes, the top floor of the inpatient building!"
