Yu Rong didn’t know that Zhou Manqing was up to no good again. After that fortune-telling session, she had obediently stayed at home and immediately resigned from her position as Zhou Manning’s manager.
When Yu Rong found out that Zhou Manning had murdered Manqing, it wasn’t like she hadn’t thought of cutting off ties and calling the police. However, she didn’t have any evidence, even if she knew that Zhou Manning was the one who had killed Manqing. If she rashly accused Zhou Manning of hurting Manqing, who knew what tricks Zhou Manning might have up her sleeve. It was fine if it was just her; she wasn’t afraid to sacrifice her life to seek justice for Manqing. However, if she died, what would happen to her mother and her children?
What she was most afraid of was the deranged Zhou Manning killing her children, so Yu Rong could only pretend that she didn’t know anything.
Yu Rong had thought about it for a few days and was about to call Master Chi, when her phone rang.
When Yu Rong picked up her phone and saw that it was Zhou Manning calling, her hand trembled and her phone almost dropped to the floor.
No, she couldn’t let Zhou Manning suspect that she knew everything; for now, she couldn’t alert the enemy. Yu Rong swallowed her saliva with difficulty and hesitated for a long while before picking up the call. She feigned calmness with a stiff face. “Manqing, what’s the matter?”
When Zhou Manning heard Yu Rong’s voice, the corners of her lips curled up and coldness flashed in her eyes. She choked and said, “Sister Yu, are you free now? I accidentally injured my leg in the bathroom and can’t move. Sister Yu, can you do me a favor?”
If Yu Rong didn’t know that the person talking to her was the deranged Zhou Manning, she might have obediently gone over long ago. However, thinking of how this woman had ruthlessly killed Manqing, Yu Rong suppressed the fear in her heart and feigned concern. “Manqing, are you okay? Why are you so careless? Did you hurt yourself from the fall? Why don’t I get Xiao Gao to go over?”
Zhou Manning pretended to be pitiful and said, “Sister Yu, you’ve been with me for so many years, and you’re the person I trust the most. Moreover, Xiao Gao has something on and has gone out; his phone is switched off. You also know that the workers come to my villa at fixed hours and I don’t like strangers in my house. Now, I’m alone in the bathroom and can’t move at all. Sister Yu, take pity on me and help me out, okay?”
Not waiting for Yu Rong to speak, Zhou Manning continued, “Sister Yu, my leg hurts so much. It really hurts. I suspect that my leg is broken. Can you come over quickly? I also wanted to call 120 just now, but you also know that I’m a public figure. If anything happens again and attracts attention, President Yang from the company won’t let me off. Sister Yu, I know that the best person in my life is you. Please, help me! Help me!”
Yu Rong gritted her teeth and said, “Manqing, I really don’t have time right now. Why don’t I get the new assistant, Little Zhang, to go over?”
Seeing that Yu Rong didn’t take the bait no matter what, Zhou Manning’s expression grew more and more irritated. She didn’t doubt that this woman not only suspected her, but also knew the truth. A sinister glint flashed in her eyes.
Zhou Manning was silent for a while, then feigned sadness. “Sister Yu, I remember that you used to be especially good to me. I don’t know what’s wrong with you lately. You resigned and you’re keeping your distance from me. Sister Yu, did I do something wrong? Or did someone say something to you to frame me?”
Zhou Manning sighed and said, “Sister Yu, I don’t know what the other party said about me. I just want to apologize. I was hospitalized and encountered an evil spirit, so I wasn’t in a good frame of mind then and always on edge. Sister Yu, if I offended you before, I’m sorry! Forget it, I’ll find someone else! Then, I won’t trouble you, Sister Yu!”
Before Zhou Manning hung up, she suddenly screamed and dropped her phone!
