After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 19: Fire Prevention, Burglary Prevention, and Guarding Against Close Female Friends

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Fire Prevention, Burglary Prevention, and Guarding Against Close Female Friends

I thought she was watching some strange video, but it turned out that An Siqi was watching a live broadcast!

The location of the live broadcast was right downstairs from their hospital.

She couldn’t make out the content of the livestream yet, but she had also heard some news that there had been a disturbance downstairs just now.

The nurses in their small group were just talking about it, thinking it was a disturbance caused by patients’ family members and almost scared to death.

The livestream was still ongoing.

The nurse then heard a strained male voice coming through.

"A woman gave me half a million, asked me to throw the bottle over in the chaos, I... I didn’t know it was concentrated sulfuric acid, if I’d known it was acid, I wouldn’t have had the guts..."

An Siqi didn’t hear her name mentioned and let out a sigh of relief.

The nurse looked at her reaction with a curious glance.

But An Siqi paid her no attention, her heart filled with relief at the moment.

Fortunately, the other party didn’t know her identity.

The person was someone her assistant had helped her find, and he had never met her, so there was no way he could give her up.

As she relaxed, she saw the nurse looking at her with a face full of gossip and couldn’t help but turn cold, "What are you doing here?"

The nurse pointed to the floor with a complicated expression.

Only then did she realize that she was sitting on the floor in a sorry state.

Her face turned dark again as she said with a hostile tone, "Well, aren’t you going to help me up?"

The nurse was very dissatisfied with her attitude, but what could she do, since An Siqi was a patient after all?

After helping An Siqi up, the nurse went back to the nurse station and shared what happened with her colleagues.

"With that attitude of hers, I really suspect that she is guilty of something..."

"Who can say for sure? Just now the burn department brought in five people scalded by sulfuric acid, probably all innocent victims."

While the nurses were chatting, Shi Yaoguang had already pried the information she wanted from the short guy.

According to what the short guy said, last night, a young girl found him and gave him a bottle full of concentrated sulfuric acid, asking him to act today when there were lots of people around, to throw the bottle on Shi Yaoguang, and then escape in the chaos.

Since she didn’t want too much contact, the young girl paid him half a million in one go.

It was also because she paid quickly that he decided to go through with it.

It just didn’t occur to him that Shi Yaoguang brought bodyguards with her, and that’s why he ended up caught.

If Shi Yaoguang had not been prepared, the short guy might really have been able to escape in the chaos.

Once the short guy had confessed everything, the crowd looked at Shi Yaoguang with added sympathy in their eyes.

With the clues they had, it was certain that the person who acted was An Siqi, beyond any doubt.

Because...

The young girl described by the short guy, who gave him the money, matched all the characteristics of An Siqi’s assistant.

These reporters had done their homework before coming to interview Shi Yaoguang.

So the assistant, who had appeared on Xiaoqi’s live stream, was not unfamiliar to them.

Shi Yaoguang treated An Siqi like her best friend, helping her in every possible way.

In turn, her best friend betrayed her.

As soon as something went wrong in the live stream, An Siqi dumped all the blame on Shi Yaoguang’s head, truly despicable to the core.

As a result of this incident, the internet was once again abuzz with the trend of "beware of fire, theft, and treacherous best friends."

Of course, that’s a story for another time.

...

The police arrived at the scene quickly, and with the short guy’s testimony, they soon clarified the origins of the sulfuric acid attack.

They quickly dispatched officers to apprehend An Siqi’s assistant.

Once the charge of hiring someone to commit murder was established, An Siqi was also invited to the police station for questioning.

"I didn’t do it, it’s not me..."

"It’s Shi Yaoguang, it must be her! She framed me, she did it on purpose to harm me!"

An Siqi refused to cooperate, and since she was not yet eighteen, her criminal responsibility might be lightened.

When Shi Yaoguang heard this news, she was already in Zheng Xiuxin’s hospital room.

Zheng Xiuxin was the victim in Xiaoqi’s live stream incident.

Shi Yaoguang could clearly see the pits and flaws scarring her face.

At first glance, it gave one a disgusting and terrifying feeling.

The last time Shi Yaoguang had seen such skin was when she saw zombies in a post-apocalyptic world.

Thinking of this, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but admire the ruthless manufacturers.

In a modern world, they had managed to create "skincare products" with effects comparable to those of the apocalypse, truly a perverse form of brilliance.

With such skill, why not do something worthwhile instead of selling skincare products?

As Shi Yaoguang pondered, Zheng Xiuxin was also watching her.

"You..."

Zheng Xiuxin had been lured into Xiaoqi’s live stream room by the pretense of being a "wealthy heiress."

But she had never seen Shi Yaoguang before.

Thus, seeing a young and beautiful girl appearing in her hospital room, facing her damaged appearance directly, she couldn’t help feeling apprehensive.

At this moment, Zheng Xiuxin’s heart was filled with questions...

Why is she here?

Who is she?

Seeing my face, won’t she be scared away?

Did she enter the wrong room?

A series of doubts exploded in her mind, and before she could settle on what exactly was going on, she heard the girl speak, "Miss Zheng, hello, I apologize for the intrusion."

Zheng Xiuxin responded woodenly, "Hello, you."

Hearing her address, Zheng Xiuxin knew the other party hadn’t entered by mistake.

If so, what did she want with her?

Just as she was pondering this, rushed and chaotic footsteps came from the door.

The next instant, Zheng Ze’s figure appeared at the doorway.

"Sis, are you alright?"

Zheng Xiuxin shook her head, "I’m fine, how come..."

She hadn’t finished her sentence "how come you’re here," when the figures of her parents, uncles, and other relatives started to appear one after another.

A big crowd simultaneously filled the room, packing it tight.

Shi Yaoguang, amidst them, felt no discomfort.

Zheng Ze looked coldly at Shi Yaoguang and asked harshly, "What are you here for?"

Before Shi Yaoguang could answer, Zheng Xiuxin asked first, "Brother, do you know this young lady?"

"Hmph, how could I possibly know this kind of person!"

After expressing his disdain, Zheng Ze explained to her, "Sister, you don’t know yet? She’s the main culprit who caused you to end up like this!"

Zheng Xiuxin was shocked, "What?!"

This time, Shi Yaoguang didn’t give Zheng Ze a chance to speak and instead took the lead, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Shi Yaoguang."

Zheng Xiuxin didn’t know the exact names of the supposed wealthy heiresses, but she knew that An Siqi relied on someone from the Shi Family.

The poise that Shi Yaoguang carried clearly indicated she wasn’t an ordinary person.

Furthermore, with her name...

Zheng Xiuxin’s face immediately turned sour; originally, she had a good impression of this vibrant young girl, but it turned out she was that kind of person.

Shi Yaoguang could tell straight away what she was thinking, sighed, and repeated to her the explanation she had given to the reporters, assuring her again and again that she had nothing to do with An Siqi’s live stream.

However, Zheng Ze glared at her with full hostility, "Who knows if you’re saying this just to avoid responsibility?"
