Chapter 66 – Who was it that hated her so much that they wanted her face ruined? (3)
As he was tight on money, he even used the house that his son had bought as a collateral for a loan. Naturally, he didn’t think that was a big deal. Of course he’d pay him back when the company turned a profit.
When he had everything arranged, the incidents seemed to have died down around him. Under his heightened surveillance activities, incidents such as windows being smashed had finally stopped. Li WangJin let out a sigh of relief. He thought the issue had finally come to pass and that the other party had already given up. And that all there was left to do was to find out who was behind it out. Unexpectedly, an incident happened on Jiang YaGe’s end.
Jiang YaGe has had some really relaxing days lately, and she had been smiling a lot more. Without Fang JunRong and Li XinYun in the house, she had become the woman of the house and was the center of attention. Under that atmosphere, she had become more and more outgoing and would go out and shop for herself from time to time.
This was the day she had learned that one of her favorite designers had just released a new purse and she couldn’t wait to bring her aunt along with her to go shopping at the mall. She couldn’t wait to bring it to school after she had purchased it. Just the thought of all the envious looks for her classmates was enough to make her steps cheerful. She felt like she was walking on cloud nine.
The incident took place when they had gotten out of their car.
Wang SiXian, her arm in Jiang YaGe’s, was about to walk over to the elevator. Right then, someone jumped out of a van next to them. His head was wrapped tight in fabric, exposing nothing other than his eyes. His gloved hands quickly twisted open a bottle, and he splashed the content toward Jiang YaGe.
At the very moment, Jiang YaGe, in her high heels, stumbled and fell on the ground, bringing Wang SiXian with her. The fluid, aimed at Jiang YaGe, had already left the bottle and was too late to be retrieved, landed mostly on Wang SiXian who happened to block in front of Jiang YaGe.
The abrasiveness of the fluid spread in the air and the person quickly got back into the van and took off before anyone could react to what had happened. His movement was so smooth and coordinated and obviously had been well planned out. A woman’s scream cut through the air and pierced into everyone’s eardrum.
Wang SiXian’s voice was filled with agony. “My face! It hurts!”
The pain that was now spreading on her skin made her roll around on the ground while letting out bone-chilling shrieks one after another. Jiang YaGe flared much better than her. None of the fluid landed on her skin. Just a few splattered on her jacket that was used to block the sun and burned a few holes in it. She was lucky that she worried about the air-conditioning at the mall and had worn an extra layer. Otherwise, the fluid would have come into contact with her skin. She had heard about incidents where people were splashed with acid on the news in the past but had always thought that was something very far away and would never happen anywhere near her.
She quickly removed her jacket and scrambled up from the ground. She took a few steps back, and her face was pale. It was so close. Her face was almost ruined. She replayed the earlier scene in her hand and suddenly realized something.
No. That acid was aimed at her. Her aunt was just the innocent bystander. Had she not stumbled right then and there, she would have been the one on the receiving end of the acid.
Who was it that hated her so much that they wanted her face ruined?
