I took a deep breath, knowing that Ge Zeyu must have run into trouble. Since Fu Xinyi said that, she must have already made preparations.

I tried to pull my hand away forcefully, but he held on too tightly and I couldn't move at all. "Let go!"

After hearing my words, Fu Xinyi not only didn't let go, but tightened her grip even more. "Your flight has been canceled, and you went to the company today, so the chip should be in your hands now, right?"

Hearing him say that, my expression changed. I didn't expect him to notice. I quickly prepared to go out to get my bag, but Fu Xinyi stopped me.

He grabbed my waist with one hand and my arm with the other, pressing me down onto the sofa next to him. His warm breath on my face made me feel nauseous, and goosebumps rose on my arms.

“You and Bian Jiahui are committing theft right now. I can call the police and have you both arrested!”

Unable to break free, I could only threaten her verbally, but Fu Xinyi didn't take my words to heart at all. Instead, she laughed and said, "Then you can call the police later!"

Just then, Bian Jiahui's voice came from outside, "I've found it!"

Upon hearing this, I became even more anxious. With all my might, I pushed Fu Xinyi off me and ran quickly toward the door.

Just as my fingers were about to touch the doorknob, a sharp pain shot through my scalp. He grabbed my hair tightly and then yanked me backward with all his might. As I fell to the ground, a sharp pain shot through my cheek.

Fu Xinyi reached out and grabbed my neck. She had just slapped me, and now she was pointing a finger at the tip of my nose. "You'd better behave yourself. I don't have that much patience for you anymore. I'm determined to get this chip. I want to see what Su Jiayi can come up with after I produce the chip first in this competition!"

"Shameless!" I couldn't help but curse him, but he didn't take my words to heart at all. On the contrary, the more I cursed him, the more unrestrained he laughed.

After I finished yelling, he slowly got up. Bian Jiahui outside the door was also urging us to leave, "We should leave here quickly. It would be bad if someone came over. Besides, why should we get entangled with her?"

Fu Xinyi slowly stood up. Watching the two figures about to leave, my anger surged up. I grabbed the fruit plate on the table, gripped it tightly in my hand, strode forward, and smashed it down hard on Fu Xinyi's head.

With a loud crash, Bian Jiahui's head was bleeding profusely. Just moments before, she had suddenly stepped forward to shield Fu Xinyi.

Fu Xinyi reacted at that moment and kicked me directly. I fell to one side uncontrollably, my forehead hitting the table leg. The pain and dizziness made it impossible for me to get up.

In a daze, I watched the two people leave the villa. When I regained consciousness, the dizziness was still very strong. I opened my eyes groggily and suddenly met a pair of eyes.

Those eyes were bloodshot, the pupils were constricted, and there was a hint of disbelief in them. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw this scene, and I screamed in fright.

After I came to my senses, I sat up abruptly. I was still a little shaken, and when I saw what was happening in front of me, I felt as if my blood had frozen.

I was lying in my room, and next to me lay a person with wide-open eyes. It was none other than my father. He was pale and staring blankly, which suddenly gave me a bad feeling.

I forced my trembling body to stop myself from slowly reaching out and placing my hand under his nose. There was no breath. Then, I forced myself to stop my fear and placed my hand on his neck, only to feel a cold sensation.

"Ah!" I couldn't help but scream. After realizing what had happened, I tried to get up, but I couldn't manage it several times. The ground was covered in blood, which had stained my fingers red. The sticky and cold touch made me feel nauseous.

Just as I was about to touch my phone, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and a group of people rushed in.

Some of the people in the group were wearing police uniforms, and others were holding cameras. As soon as they entered, they all gasped, and then the sound of camera shutters kept going off.

"My God, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family actually killed her own father!"

"So much blood was shed, and she died with her eyes wide open. No matter what, they were father and daughter. How could she be so cruel to her own father?"

A group of people were whispering amongst themselves, and my head was buzzing. I opened my mouth as if to say something, but I couldn't utter a single word. After a long while, I finally found my voice, "No, it wasn't me. I don't know why this happened!"

My body was trembling, my eyes were red, and tears were falling involuntarily. Part of it was because I was scared, and part of it was because, no matter what, it was my dad lying on the ground. Although he had done many things that disappointed me, and although he was selfish, I had never thought of taking his life.

"It really wasn't me. I was already like this when I woke up, and I was injured myself!" No matter how I explained, the people around me looked at me with disdain and scrutiny. When I took a step forward, they immediately became defensive and everyone subconsciously stepped back.

A person in a police uniform immediately blocked my way and stopped me from moving forward. "Ms. Jiang, please calm down. We will investigate the matter thoroughly. Now we will take you to the hospital to have your head wound bandaged."

I followed them into the car in a daze, not saying a word the whole way. There was no point in saying anything at that point.

Fu Xinyi and Bian Jiahui came to my house and tried to steal my things. What happened while I was unconscious? Could it be that they were the ones who did it to my father?

But no matter what, Bian Jiahui is my father's daughter. Killing her own father shows a complete disregard for human ethics.

My mind was a mess. After the wound was bandaged, the police officer grabbed my arm. "Ms. Jiang, given your situation, we have to take you back for investigation. My colleague reported that you were the only one found in that room."

"That's impossible!" Upon hearing this, I instinctively stood up to refute it, but at the same time I couldn't help feeling dizzy. I had to hold onto the table next to me to steady myself. "Before I passed out, I had a conflict with Fu Xinyi."
