Chapter 122: Chapter 122: It's Over

"Qiqi, you..." "Be careful." Qiqi gave a quick warning, gritted her teeth, and dashed out through the electrical well door. Zhou Zhibi and her mother had already approached with suspicion, and Qiqi's sudden appearance startled them both. "Whoa, that girl's over there—grab her!" A man's voice rang out not far away. It was Xia Liu from the Xia Corporation, who had split up with Bureau Chief Qian to track the girls' whereabouts. He wasn't far from this elevator entrance. "Ah—" Qiqi let out a loud shout, drawing everyone's attention, and then bolted forward at full speed. Behind her, the electrical well door was only half-open, making it easier for Zhuang Ruotong to stay hidden inside. Moreover, Qiqi carried something that emitted a blinding white light, so intense that everyone instinctively chased after her, forgetting to check the electrical well. Behind her, Mrs. Zhou was the first to react, sprinting forward at lightning speed. On the other side, Xia Liu also moved to cut her off. Zhou Zhibi hesitated for a moment on the spot before following along. In her high heels, her running posture was a bit awkward, her chest heaving, revealing a round jade pendant hanging around her neck. At that moment, Qiqi's only thought was to get far away from the electrical well, allowing Zhuang Ruotong to escape safely. As a result, she ran with no technique at all, and before long, Xia Liu caught her at the reserved parking spot. During the run, as she distanced herself from Zhou Zhibi, the Moon's Guidance in her bag gradually calmed down, finally ceasing its blinding glow. Xia Liu lunged forward like a tiger, forcefully pinning the girl to the ground. Qiqi stumbled and fell. He snatched her bag and rummaged through it wildly, quickly finding the camera and phone. Opening the camera, his face darkened instantly as he deleted all the photos. He then examined the phone thoroughly, found nothing, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Zhou stepped in to help guard Qiqi, preventing her escape, and asked her cousin, "Xiao Liu, is this the female reporter you mentioned on the phone who was secretly filming you?" Xia Liu's expression was grim: "That's right, it's her. I clearly saw her wearing this headscarf and holding this camera. She had an accomplice—did you see anyone?" Mrs. Zhou shook her head, a hint of confusion on her face. Xia Liu crouched down and interrogated Qiqi harshly: "Which newspaper are you from? Where's your partner?" Qiqi got up from the ground, rubbing her knee—ouch, my leg! That fall was brutal, nearly breaking it. She endured the pain, shook her head, and put on an innocent look: "I'm not from a newspaper. I don't have a partner." Xia Liu viciously smashed the camera in front of Qiqi. With a loud crash, the camera met its untimely end before it could even serve its purpose. Qiqi winced in distress—this new camera was expensive. Even though it was bought with Zhuang Ruotong's money, wasting money was still shameful. Xia Liu began to threaten and bribe the girl, but Qiqi held her ground stubbornly, insisting she was alone. Furious, Xia Liu was about to hit Qiqi when Zhou Zhibi finally arrived in her high heels, wobbling like she was on stilts, and shouted, "Uncle, no need to rush. I know her." "Who is she?" "Gu Qiqi. Qin Chen's classmate. Brother Lu Wei's junior sister." Zhou Zhibi's face twisted with disgust as she rushed forward and yanked off Qiqi's sunglasses, revealing the girl's clear, bright eyes.
