Hong Kong Nights of Passion

Chapter 105 Are you trying to force a confession out of me?
Two jacaranda trees stand in the corner of the back garden, their blue-purple flower clusters hanging from their branches like a dream, while several clusters of precious flowers and plants adorn the surrounding area.

The pool water in the center is crystal clear, and you can see the tiny shimmering spots on the bottom.

Two slender women stood by the pool. Wen Jinnian raised her eyes slightly and said, "Miss Qin, please speak if you have something to say. Today is your birthday, you must be very busy."

Qin Xianglian crossed her arms and glared at Wen Jinnian with slightly raised eyes: "Where do you get the nerve to seduce Prince Chi?"

Wen Jinnian raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Which eye of yours saw me seducing you?"

Looks like they're here to cause trouble again.

"I saw it all at the hospital that day!" Qin Xianglian took a half step forward. "The way Young Master Chi looked at you was strange, it was clearly..."

"What did you see?" Wen Jinian interrupted her. "Your eyes look strange? How so?"

"It's...it's that kind of..." Qin Xianglian paused, her tone tinged with resentment, "...it's just not right!"

Wen Jinnian suddenly chuckled. It turned out that she hadn't shown up when Jiang Shu and Chi Yige came to the hospital that day; she had been hiding.

Another bad romantic encounter.

“Miss Qin, since you care so much about Young Master Chi, I have a straightforward way to do it.”

"What method?" Qin Xianglian asked subconsciously, then felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly.

"Just ask him face to face if he likes you!" Wen Jinian lowered her eyes, a faint smile on her lips.

Qin Xianglian blushed and stamped her foot, saying, "Who, who wants to learn your shamelessness!"

"Then there's nothing I can do."

Wen Jinnian sighed, "It's his freedom to like whomever he wants. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

She paused, seemingly implying something, "So that Miss Qin won't fall into the pool later and then falsely accuse me of pushing her."

"You!" Qin Xianglian was speechless, then suddenly sneered, "Even if I fall in and say it was you who caused it, people will only believe me."

She laughed heartily, "After all, I'm a proper young lady from a respectable family, unlike you..."

She glanced around. "Besides, there are no security cameras here. If I get injured and people say you were jealous and attacked me, who do you think public opinion will side with?"

Wen Jinnian raised an eyebrow: "Miss Qin might as well give it a try."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xianglian raised her hand and slapped herself twice, leaving red marks on her pale cheeks.

"Anything else?" Wen Jinian gave a thumbs up, she really went all out.

“You…” Qin Xianglian gritted her teeth, suddenly pulled a silver hairpin from her hair, and stabbed it into her chest with trembling fingertips!

Wen Jinian's pupils contracted sharply. She lunged forward, but was already half a step too slow. The moment the hairpin pierced her chest, she collapsed to the ground with a thud. Dark red blood seeped through her light pink skirt. A piercing cry shattered the silence: "Help! Wen Jinian has killed someone! Help...help me..."

Wen Jinnian cursed under her breath, knowing she was definitely up to no good, but she never expected her to resort to self-harm to frame her.

Wow, this is eye-opening! No wonder he's an actor!
Qin Xianglian is an 18th-tier actress, whom Wen Jin Nian came across while idly browsing Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform).

Her acting skills aren't great, but she's played the female lead in a few films.

They didn't make a splash at all, and then they switched to short dramas.

At this shout, hurried footsteps rushed into the garden.

Madam Qin arrived first and saw her daughter lying on the ground with two red marks on her face and a silver hairpin stuck in her chest. She panicked instantly, knelt down, hugged Qin Xianglian, and cried out, "Lian'er! What happened to you? Don't scare your mother!"

Blood dripped from Qin Xianglian's fingertips as she pointed a trembling finger at Wen Jinian, her eyes reddening but gleaming with a triumphant glint: "Miss Wen... I merely asked about your relationship with Prince Chi, why are you treating me like this..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Yiyi was already standing in front of Wen Jinnian, holding her wrist and checking her over: "Niannian, are you alright?"

Qin Xianglian's eyelashes trembled with anger, but she still managed a weak smile and gritted her teeth, saying, "I'm lying here, and you're asking her if she's alright?"

"I don't even know you." Fu Yiyi simply pulled Wen Jinian behind her, shielding her without even raising her eyelids. "Are you expecting me to put on a show of self-inflicted suffering?" Madam Qin stared at Wen Jinian, anger rising in her eyes: "Miss Wen, what did my daughter do to offend you? Why did you resort to such cruelty?"

"It wasn't me," Wen Jinian said calmly, without any sign of panic.

"It's just the two of you here. Did my daughter stab herself?" Madam Qin raised her voice.

"Maybe." Fu Yiyi sneered, turned around and took Wen Jinnian's hand. "Niannian, I believe you, don't be afraid."

Wen Jinian was deeply moved and looked around.

There was indeed no surveillance footage; no wonder Qin Xianglian dared to stab the silver hairpin into her chest.

Seeing Wen Jinian's indifferent expression, Madam Qin's face immediately darkened, and she shouted, "Call the police!"

His subordinate immediately took out his phone and made a call.

The doctor had already been called over and examined the chest wound.

The wound wasn't deeply punctured, and the doctor only treated it briefly before proceeding with further care.

The commotion was quite loud, and even the male guests were alerted.

Qin Fang arrived in a flurry and immediately asked, "What happened?"

Upon seeing this, Madam Qin immediately began to exaggerate her grievances, wiping away tears and snot.

Having served as an official, Qin Fang naturally exuded an aura of authority. When he looked at Wen Jinnian, his eyes were icy cold as he said in a deep voice, "Miss Wen, if anything happens to my daughter, I will not let this go."

People nearby noticed the handprint on Qin Xianglian's face and the wound on her chest, and whispered among themselves.

"This circle is only so big, everyone knows Miss Wen's background."

Everyone sighed, guessing that Qin Fang was probably going to "keep up" with her.

"How could such a nice girl be so cruel? First she slapped me twice, then she stabbed me. It's absolutely outrageous. What did she do to deserve this?"

Discussions arose one after another, and some well-meaning people advised Wen Jinnian to quickly apologize to the Qin family and beg for mercy.

Qin Fang raised his hand and waved, and several of his men immediately stepped forward to grab Wen Jinian.

Fu Yiyi spread her arms to protect her: "Don't do anything rash! Without evidence, why do you say that Nian Nian did it?"

"There were only the two of them here just now!" Madam Qin insisted.

Fu Yiyi sneered: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe she's deliberately framing me!"

Several of his men shoved Fu Yiyi forcefully, causing her to stumble and fall backward, but Duan Jiaxu caught her steadily.

Fu Yiyi looked up and shouted urgently, "Jiaxu, go and call my brother!"

"Don't worry, Brother Chi is here."

As Duan Jiaxu finished speaking, Fu Yiyi saw Chi Yige step out from the crowd.

His gaze fell on the servants holding up Wen Jinian, and his face darkened.

"Are you trying to force a confession out of me?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Qin Fang immediately put on a smile: "Nephew, there's no need to trouble you with these small matters. Let's go to the front hall."

"I don't think we're that close. You're at most my dad's adjutant."

Chi Yige walked a few steps to Wen Jinnian's side, his eyes turned cold, and he kicked the person holding Wen Jinnian away.
