Chapter 826 - 819: Rats and Cockroaches
The feeling of waiting is truly nerve-wracking. Qi Hui was constantly in a state of fear and trepidation, so much so that any little noise outside made her want to jump out the window and run.
It was only at this moment that Qi Hui understood what Old Qi meant. Was she going to spend every day in this anxiety from now on?
Not daring to go out, not daring to show her ID, not daring to use her real name, living like a rat or cockroach in the darkness, scared and hiding at the slightest sound or light?
No, this is not the life she wanted.
Bai Yiran! You’ve caused me such misery! One day, I will repay you a hundred times over!
This grinding anxiety was driving Qi Hui mad. She turned on the TV, hoping it would distract her.
In the old hotel room, the TV could only get a few channels. With no other choice, she left it on a news channel.
The female anchor was clearly reading the news, but Qi Hui wasn’t really listening. She just wanted some noise in the room to make her feel less scared.
"The power struggle at Huamei International has just concluded, followed by a major incident. Upon investigation, three shareholders in important positions at Huamei International—Lin Mou, Shi Mou, and Qi Mou—are being pursued by the police on charges of embezzling company funds and bribing others. Lin Mou and Shi Mou have been arrested, while Qi Mou remains at large. Qi Mou, from XX City..."
Qi Hui was shocked as she watched the news on TV, trembling violently. Bai Yiran was really ruthless, not only reporting her to the police but also making it newsworthy!
The TV anchor continued detailing Qi Hui’s situation, which scared her into turning off the TV immediately.
Then she started to worry; even though she wore sunglasses when she checked in, what if the hotel owner saw the news and became suspicious?
The more Qi Hui thought about it, the more frightened she became. She quietly went downstairs, sticking close to the wall to secretly observe the owner’s movements.
The hotel owner was still asleep at the table, not watching TV at all.
This made Qi Hui feel slightly relieved. Seeing someone coming in from outside, she hurriedly ran back to her room and locked the door.
The whole ordeal was too thrilling. Qi Hui bit her lip and sat back on the bed. She was just hoping time would pass quickly and that Old Qi would bring her money and clothes soon.
Qi Hui was confused about her future. She had no idea where to go, taking one step at a time.
Close to midnight, there was finally a knock on Qi Hui’s door. She immediately stood up from the bed, walked softly to the door, and cautiously asked, "Who is it?"
"Xiao Hui, it’s me." Outside, Old Qi’s voice was soft too, as if afraid to disturb others in the hotel.
Hearing Old Qi’s voice, Qi Hui felt a glimmer of hope. Without hesitation, she quickly opened the door.
Seeing Old Qi, Qi Hui froze. "Dad, why did you come empty-handed? Where are my clothes? My money?"
Old Qi’s expression wasn’t good. Struggling just to call out his daughter’s name, three policemen quickly emerged from behind him.
Seeing this, Qi Hui screamed and tried to run toward the window, but she wasn’t as fast as the policemen and was pinned against the wall by two of them.
Struggling fiercely, Qi Hui screamed at Old Qi with rage, "I’m your daughter! Even you betrayed me!"
