After getting in the taxi, Luosang called him back. Nian Junting’s voice was low. “You’re done?”
“Yup. You said there was something important?”
Nian Junting was silent for a while before answering her. “The police might come looking for you later.”
Luosang was shocked. Her head was in a whirlwind. She didn’t recall doing anything illegal.
“Tonight, at my grandma’s birthday banquet, the CEO of Bingyang Group brought Zhong Yi along to the party. When my grandma went to the washroom, Zhong Yi attacked her with a knife. She has been arrested, and she claims that she did all of it because you are my girlfriend, and she wanted to get revenge on you. She didn’t want you to be happy, and she wants my family to hate you.”
“What?” Luosang had goosebumps all over as she listened to him. She had been busy going about her own perfectly normal day. “How is your grandma?”
“She’s alright. She just sprained her foot. But…” Nian Junting paused before continuing, “Leng Shuangwei was in the bathroom, too, and she was stabbed in the abdomen. She’s in the ICU now.”
Luosang’s heart dropped. “Is she in danger now?”
“Her condition has stabilized. I asked Nian Xi to go over later when the police come looking for you,” he explained. “I have to stay here. My grandma is still here, and Leng Shuangwei is hurt from protecting my family.”
“I understand.” Luosang’s mind was a mess now. She felt uneasy, and she had so many questions on her mind that she didn’t know where to start. She finally spoke after a long while. “Junting, why did this happen? Did she really go after your family because of me?”
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. The police said that she was on drugs. She had all sorts of wounds on her, too. She had probably been abused by Miao Zheng. Her heart is already twisted. Don’t worry, we will find out the truth,” Nian Junting comforted her. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Ok.” She put down her phone, and her mind eased a little. Zhong Yi’s deed would probably make the Nian family detest her further. The entire family would also be grateful to Leng Shuangwei for coming to Grandma Nian’s aid. They would be touched by her heroic act, and Nian Junting would be touched, too.
Would he leave her because of Leng Shuangwei’s sacrifice? Luosang felt uneasy again as she thought about it. She thought that once she cleared her father’s name, the Nian family would be more accepting of her. Would it be as simple as that now? She didn’t understand why Zhong Yi had to do this to her.
When she emerged from the condominium’s elevator, the police had already been waiting for a while. Nian Xi was there, too, talking to them.
“Miss Xu, we are from the Criminal Investigation Department.” Captain Xiao produced his identification. “We have to talk to you regarding a case.”
“Sang, don’t worry. You didn’t do anything wrong. You just have to answer his questions truthfully,” Nian Xi assured her quickly.
“Junting already told me on my way back.” Luosang looked at Captain Xiao. “Can you take me to Zhong Yi? I have a few questions for her, too. I want to ask her why she just wouldn’t let me off. She said that I caused her great misery. I want to ask her what great misery she is referring to.”
“Alright,” Captain Xiao nodded.
