Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: She Doesn’t Have Much Time Left

Lin Zhiyi awoke again, lying in the corridor outside her house, breathing oxygen.

Sister Zhou was kneeling beside her anxiously, holding her hand tightly.

"She’s awake, she’s awake, doctor, is she alright?"

"We can’t be sure right now, we need to take her to the hospital for a checkup."

The doctor comforted Sister Zhou while taking Lin Zhiyi’s blood pressure.

Sister Zhou, however, said in a panic, "I’m not talking about the gas, I’m talking about her injury."

"Injury? But we didn’t find any wounds on her body." The doctor leaned closer to Lin Zhiyi, concerned, "Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

Lin Zhiyi shook her head, apart from feeling a bit dizzy after inhaling oxygen, she wasn’t in any pain.

Sister Zhou was stunned and pointed to the blood marks on her own door.

"Then... whose are these? When I opened the door after the urgent knocking, I saw you lying in the corridor and thought you had crawled out injured."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi remembered the scene before she passed out.

The foreign man was knocked down, and then someone else came in.

Lastly...

Lin Zhiyi rubbed her head vigorously, unable to recall what had happened next.

"Sister Zhou, are there any bloodstains elsewhere?"

"No," Sister Zhou hesitated and then shook her head, "When I went in to ventilate your room, I didn’t see a drop of blood."

Whose injury was it then?

Lin Zhiyi stared at the blood marks on Sister Zhou’s door, her heart aching inexplicably.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened again.

The paramedics thought it was their colleague with a stretcher, unexpectedly it was the police and a neighbor from downstairs.

"May I ask, who resides here?"

Lin Zhiyi and Sister Zhou looked at each other and raised their hands simultaneously.

Sister Zhou asked, "Officer, what’s the matter?"

The police pointed at the neighbor downstairs, "The neighbor called the police reporting suspicious sounds from upstairs, similar to a gunshot."

Sister Zhou and Lin Zhiyi both jumped in shock.

"How is that possible? It must be a misunderstanding."

The neighbor countered, "I’m not mistaken, I’ve been to shooting ranges abroad and I know the sound well, plus it definitely sounded like it was muffled by a pillow or something."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi’s face paled, and she looked through her front door.

Indeed, a cushion was missing from her sofa.

Not only that, the fake suicide note left by the foreign man was also gone.

The foreign man was here to kill her, he would not take the evidence of her supposed suicide.

Something must have happened here.

Just as Sister Zhou was about to say something, Lin Zhiyi tightly grabbed her hand to interrupt.

"Officer, it’s really a misunderstanding, I had a few drinks and forgot to turn off the stove, and ended up with gas poisoning. The sound the neighbor heard must have been me falling from the sofa. After all, the sound could have got distorted after traveling through a floor."

The neighbor was about to object, but Lin Zhiyi glanced at Sister Zhou.

Sister Zhou corroborated, "It’s true, see, both the doctor and the property management are here."

The doctor nodded at the cop, "She indeed inhaled toxic gas, the hallway smelled of rotten eggs when we arrived."

At that moment, the property manager also came out of the house.

After taking off his shoe covers, he explained, "I’ve checked everything, the concentration has decreased in the apartment, Miss Lin, be more careful next time, the bottom of your pans were burned black."

"Sorry for the trouble."

Lin Zhiyi apologized, but was relieved inside.

With the property manager’s verification, the police believed her story, completed their report, and left.

Lin Zhiyi went to the hospital accompanied by Sister Zhou.

After confirming she was alright, Sister Zhou helped her to a seat in the waiting area.

Lin Zhiyi felt like she had been on a rollercoaster, her whole body felt unreal. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

Sister Zhou sighed deeply and asked, "Zhiyi, what exactly is going on? Why didn’t you let me tell the police about the knocking on my door earlier?"

Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment but decided not to involve Sister Zhou.

"Sister Zhou, the neighbor downstairs already mentioned gunshots. If we claim there might have been a third person involved, do you plan to spend the New Year in the police station? It’s better not to make trouble when it’s not necessary, as long as no one’s hurt, it’s fine."
