She started to get a headache. She couldn’t believe what she just heard and was afraid. “You… invited so many people to your party and humiliated me because of this?”
She wasn’t as dumb as she thought. Qiao Nian raised her brow and looked fiercely at her. She looked as though there was a beast hidden within her as she slowly closed in on Qiao Chen and said, “I’ve heard that you were awarded a prize for the piece you submitted previously.”
Qiao Chen’s worry increased. She stopped breathing as her eyes widened in shock.
What was Qiao Nian up to!
Her face turned pale just from Qiao Nian’s stare. Qiao Chen looked as though she was about to collapse. Bored, Qiao Nian stood up straight and looked at her fiercely, saying, “Qiao Chen, I’ve said it before. If I find out that you were responsible for pushing Chen Chen down the stairs, I will take back everything that I’ve given you.
“This includes everything that you took for granted and anything that you care about. I’m just giving you a warning today. You better be on your best behavior until I find out what happened. Don’t pretend as though nothing happened. Else, I will humiliate you again!” Qiao Nian could humiliate Qiao Chen anytime she wanted. She didn’t need to pick an occasion to do so.
Qiao Chen’s face turned paler as she spoke.
By the time Qiao Nian was done speaking, Qiao Chen’s face was white as snow.
Qiao Nian looked coldly at her with a twinkle in her eyes and said, “You better be on your guard!”
Qiao Chen could only clench her fists as Qiao Nian finished speaking. Qiao Chen then watched as she turned around and walked off standing tall and confident.
As Qiao Nian walked away from her.
The gap between them was getting bigger as well!
Qiao Chen bit on her lips as her heart raced. It felt as though it would burst out of her chest…
Her legs started to give way as she tried to support herself using the sink. Thank goodness it was there, else she would have slumped to the floor.
She felt that Qiao Nian was serious this time!
If she were to find out something…
The piece… Qiao Chen bit on her lips so hard they bled, and her eyes were shifty and filled with fear.
There weren’t any surveillance cameras in the hospital’s corridor, so long as no one was there… It wasn’t a popular place… No one must have seen it, right?
Her phone suddenly rang as she thought about it.
It shocked her so much she almost yelled.
She bit on her lip to stop herself as she took out her phone with trembling hands.
It was a call from Shen Qiongzhi.
She breathed a sigh of relief. As she relaxed, her legs finally gave way. Leaning against the sink, she slowly slid down.
“Hello, Mom…”
…
Qiao Nian didn’t go back to the booth when she left the washroom.
There were too many people in the booth, and it was giving her a headache. It was stuffy and unfortable, too.
She wanted to take a break by going to the toilet, but she didn’t expect to meet Qiao Chen.
She frowned as she thought about the look on Qiao Chen’s face when she mentioned the hospital. She pouted and texted the Red Alliance.

[sun: How’s the investigation?]
[Daji Plays With You: It’s hard. There weren’t any surveillance cameras.]
The city’s hospital was third-class, which was the best in Rao City. There was nothing special about it outside of the city, so it didn’t have the best facilities. Therefore, there were some shortfalls in the installations and no surveillance cameras at places with less traffic. They also didn’t have railings for some of the windows besides those on the highest floor.
