Not only that, Liu Jia, with her malicious intent, had also arranged for reporters, various media outlets, and paparazzi around and inside the rooms. They would rush forward to take photos and conduct interviews upon hearing the commotion.
As soon as the words fell, Shi Xinxin shivered uncontrollably. Her expression turned increasingly grim as she spoke,
"This Liu Jia has reached the point of madness! I have never shown Yue Ran the slightest bit of favor. Does she hate me this much? Xiaomi, you know I'm usually very careful and have always tried to keep my distance from Yue Ran. I didn't expect Liu Jia, driven by her obsessive love for Yue Ran, to try and ruin me like this."
By the end of her speech, Shi Xinxin's voice was trembling.
Xiaomi patted Shi Xinxin's shoulder and sighed, "People's hearts are indeed complex. Xinxin, don't be too sad or upset."
"I'm not sad, nor am I upset, I just feel a sense of lament!" Shi Xinxin's eyes gradually became sharp and cold. Her fists slowly clenched.
The gentleness, helplessness, and hesitation faded from her face, replaced by resolute determination and indifference.
Liu Jia put her phone back into her small bag and then, from the same bag, took out a small folding mirror.
Looking into the mirror, she displayed a smile as charming as a flower. Heh heh, she didn't believe that after this incident, Yue Ran would still like Shi Xinxin!
Large swathes of dark inky clouds drifted westward with the wind, and the fiery, dazzling sun gradually reappeared in the sky. The moment it peeked out from behind the dark clouds, bright and warm rays of light once again filled the world.
The previously gloomy and cold weather suddenly became warm. Liu Jia found herself unaccustomed to it. She looked down at the white fur coat she was wearing. Perhaps she had dressed too warmly? Suddenly, she felt a bit hot.
Thinking this, she casually took off her fur coat and tossed it onto the passenger seat. Then, she glanced at the watch on her right wrist. It was just past one o'clock, with still some time before evening.
She yawned lazily, got out of the car, and strolled into a coffee shop by the street. She then sat by the window, indulging in the sun's warmth.
After unhurriedly ordering a cappuccino, Liu Jia opened her mirror to touch up her makeup. Then, she subtly curved her lips, giving herself a playful and enchanting smile in the reflection.
Just a few dozen minutes earlier, she had personally driven to the city's most notorious gangster organization, the "Du Long Gang." She had come here to personally select over a dozen fearless and bold ruffians.
These ruffians were the "grand finale" for tonight. In her meticulous and rigorous plan, these ruffians were to defile Shi Xinxin in the hotel tonight, leaving her without her "innocent body."
As for the reporters, media personnel, and paparazzi, who were indispensable for the "grand finale," she had already notified them using a public phone at the subway station. She was confident that they would arrive at the scene more punctually than anyone else tonight.
At this moment, a polite and elegant voice sounded in Liu Jia's ear, "Hello, ma'am, your coffee has arrived."
"Thank you," Liu Jia glanced at the young waitress, casually took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from her bag, and scattered them on the table. "Here, take it. It's for you."
The waitress, ecstatic, gathered the money and thanked her three times before happily running off.
Her mood today was truly wonderful. The woman she hated and loathed the most in her life was about to die at her hands, so how could she not be in a good mood?
To be honest, when she received Xiaomi's call, she found it hard to believe. They had just reached an agreement this morning, and she hadn't expected the plan to be implemented so quickly.
It was as if heaven itself was helping her. The smile on Liu Jia's face grew even wider, and her fists unconsciously clenched.
Shi Xinxin, you won't escape my grasp. Tonight, I will make you wish you were dead and regret everything. And Yue Ran will definitely never like you again.
Time flowed by second by second, and night soon descended.
The sky, as dark as ink, was adorned with a bright and luminous full moon like a jade plate. Countless lights dotted the steel and concrete metropolis. A silver-gray convertible drove slowly into a five-star hotel in the city center.
Two young women slowly emerged from the car. One was tall, slender, and stylish, while the other looked somewhat honest and cute. These two women were undoubtedly Shi Xinxin and her assistant, Xiaomi.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly and systematic fashion. Shi Xinxin and Xiaomi entered the hotel, took the elevator, and walked down the corridor on the fifteenth floor. Everything appeared to be safe and sound so far.
However, when Shi Xinxin opened the door to the reserved room, more than a dozen tall, burly, and ferocious ruffians suddenly leaped out from the dark interior. They shouted menacingly as they surrounded Shi Xinxin.
The ruffian with the full beard at the forefront stepped forward and reached out to touch Shi Xinxin's chest. He chuckled sinisterly, "Yo, little sister, shall we brothers have a good time with you tonight? Hahaha."
Shi Xinxin neither dodged nor flinched. A serene and indifferent smile graced her beautiful face. She raised her eyebrows and snapped her right fingers.
"Snap."
As swift as lightning, more than a dozen bodyguards dressed in black burst out from the fire escape, the elevator entrance, and the adjacent room. They immediately surrounded the ruffians and, in a flash, subdued them.
All this happened and the situation changed in mere seconds, so quickly that the group of ruffians didn't even realize what had happened.
Shi Xinxin continued to smile. She walked elegantly into the room in her high heels, "click-clack," turning on all the lights. Then she sat on the edge of the bed, crossed her legs, and looked sharply at everyone in the room.
Under the control of more than a dozen well-trained black-clad enforcers, the once arrogant ruffians were all squatting on the ground in disarray, their hands clasped behind their heads, heads bowed, not daring to even look up.
These ruffians were merely a disorganized rabble, no cause for concern. A little show of force, and they became obedient. This was exactly as she had predicted.
Shi Xinxin glanced at the ruffians, then used the tip of her high heel to kick the bearded leader. She said with imposing authority, "You're the leader, aren't you? If I'm not mistaken, you were personally sent by Liu Jia?"
The bearded ruffian looked up at Shi Xinxin cautiously, swallowed, and said, "Yes, yes, sir. The reason we did this was all at the behest of Miss Liu."
