Chapter 51: Biggest Mistake of Your Life!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before the two men left, they asked kindly, "Ms. Xia, are you sure you don't want us to report this to the police? It's better to bring in law enforcement when it comes to this kind of thing."
"I will personally go to the police station later, thank you so much for your help today. If there's any way I can repay the two of you in the future, please don't hesitate to come see me. I will not forget the kindness you've shown me today," Xinghe said seriously.
The securities laughed sheepishly. "It's nothing, but if Ms. Xia needs any help in the future, don't hesitate to approach us as well."
Xinghe nodded and remembered in her heart the favor she was offered that day.
Should the chance arise, she would definitely repay them the favor.
The two men left in a hurry and Xinghe waited at the hospital until Xia Zhi's condition stabilized before she decided to return home.
After some deliberations, Xinghe resolved to come clean to Chengwu. She left out the part where Xia Zhi almost died, instead saying he was involved in a scuffle, suffered some minor abrasions, and had to stay at the hospital for observation.
Chengwu wanted to rush to the hospital to see his son but Xinghe stopped him.
Chengwu himself was still recovering so Xinghe didn't want him to travel back and forth between their house and the hospital. Xinghe promised him she would take good care of Xia Zhi and that at least managed to give him some comfort.
However, Chengwu was still mad as hell. "Who would attack Xia Zhi, he's such a good boy. Why did those people hurt him?"
Xinghe believed the party that hurt Xia Zhi did it on purpose.
Chengwu was right, Xia Zhi was a good person who had no reason to be targeted. That left only one possibility, he was implicated because of her.
There were a lot of people out for her blood, Tianxin was one, Wu Rong was another.
Either one of them could be the culprit.
Xinghe was going to smoke that person out.
Xinghe returned to her bedroom and pulled the security feed for the spot Xia Zhi said he was attacked. It was a security blind spot.
This was more proof that the attack was premeditated.
The attack was done at that spot so she would have nothing to go on. There was no evidence.
She couldn't go to the police without any evidence.
Then again, she didn't plan to. She would savor exacting her own revenge.
She relied on the police last time because Wu Rong's crime was too big. She had to use the power of the law to punish her.
However, because of the legal intervention, she didn't get to enjoy the thrills of crushing her enemy with her bare hands.
This time, she was taking matters into her own hands.
Xinghe didn't get the security footage she needed but based on footage from other cameras, she managed to capture a picture of two large men in black coats.
She brought her laptop to the hospital and Xia Zhi identified them as his attackers from the picture. Then, began the human flesh search engine [1].
It was child's play for a computer expert like Xinghe.
Very quickly, Xinghe received droves of information on these two men.
Turned out, they were bodyguards working for the Chui Family!
In fact, they were Chui Ming's personal bodyguards.
Chui Ming was a well known name in City T. The Chui Family had great influence.
Incidentally, Xinghe was doing research on him lately. Why? Because he was Xia Wushuang's husband!
Now she was certain, the party who came looking for trouble was the happy couple.
They were helping Wu Rong vent her anger.
Xinghe knew Wu Rong would strike back eventually but she didn't expect her to be despicable enough to come after her family!
Xinghe was going to make Wu Rong, Wushuang, and Chui Ming regret targeting Xia Zhi because she would do anything to ensure that it was the biggest mistake of their lives!

[2] Okay, long announcement here. I'm sure everyone knows CN ReadNovelFull after a certain threshold will go to some weird places, this one is unfortunately not free from that fate. I'm not sure whether it was because the MC is a computer science expert or I'm inflicted by the sci-fi curse but the story will introduce some sci-fi/fantasy elements later on. I refuse to lead people down a false path so I'm going to list some of the events that are going to happen, and you're going to decide for yourself whether you want to drop this story or not: Memory Switching, Military Coup, Base on the Moon, Energy Cores/Crystals, Human Experimentation and Creation. However, I can assure you the main focus is still the MC's face slapping and the relationship between the different characters [And might i just add, the relationship between ML and MC is one of the more realistic ones I've read for ReadNovelFulls]. Obviously, I hope you'll continue on this journey with me but I understand if you don't. Ps. the weird stuff is going to happen around Chapter 250.
