Thankfully, the man who had come to attack her had already tampered with the security camera in her apartment. He had redirected its focus away from her actions, providing an additional layer of security. With the camera effectively disabled, she felt a sense of relief, knowing that her movements would not be captured or raise any suspicion.
The neighborhood she resided in was already remote, with few residents venturing out unless necessary. Combined with the manipulated security camera, this made it even easier for her to move the body into the car without attracting unwanted attention. She carefully closed the trunk, ensuring no traces of her actions remained visible. Driving away from the neighborhood, Sheng Ruxi made her way to a nearby port, which was conveniently located just a few miles from her home. As she approached, the sight of the tranquil waters and the rhythmic sounds of the crashing waves provided a serene backdrop to her task.
Sheng Ruxi parked her car in a secluded spot near the port, ensuring it remained hidden from prying eyes. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for the task ahead. Opening the trunk, she carefully lifted the lifeless body out and carried it towards the edge of the dock. The sound of crashing waves provided a symphony of cover, masking any noise that might arise from her actions.
As she reached the edge, Sheng Ruxi glanced around, making sure no one was in sight. The port appeared deserted, with only a few distant figures engaged in their work. It was the perfect opportunity to dispose of the body without attracting attention.
Summoning her strength, she took a final look at the man who had threatened her life, realizing that his secrets would be buried with him beneath the deep, dark waters. With a determined push, she sent the body over the edge, watching as it disappeared into the swirling depths below.
Relief washed over Sheng Ruxi, knowing that she had eliminated the immediate threat to her safety. However, she was well aware that this was just the beginning. The questions that plagued her mind remained unanswered, and the shadows of her past still lingered.
Leaving the port behind, she returned to her car. As the wheels of her car rolled along the road, Sheng Ruxi couldn't help but question herself. How had she managed to kill someone and clean up her apartment, making it spotless? The memories of the previous night felt like fragments, blurry and disjointed. She couldn't comprehend how she had acted with such precision and control, as if she had done it before. Doubts and uncertainties gnawed at her, but she pushed them aside for now, focusing on her current task.
She headed back home and sat down at the laptop she had purchased. With trembling fingers, she typed "Qin Weisheng" into the search bar and hit enter. The search results unveiled profiles of people bearing that name, but the one that caught her attention was Major General Qin Weisheng. As she delved into his background, she discovered that he was not only a high-ranking military officer but also one of the top richest men in the country. The pieces of the puzzle started to come together, and she couldn't ignore the hunch that he might be her ex-husband.
Sheng Ruxi continued her online search, trying to gather more information about Qin Weisheng and their past together. However, her efforts were met with frustration as information about the major general seemed limited. It appeared as though details about him were carefully guarded or kept off public platforms. Undeterred, she shifted her focus to the Qin family as a whole, exploring their influence in business, politics, and entertainment.
Sheng Ruxi pondered over this matter carefully. She needed to get information about Qin Weisheng. There were three people who came to mind. The doctor, the nurse and the lawyer. Sheng Ruxi knew that her best chances of obtaining information about Qin Weisheng lay with the doctor and the nurse who had attended to her during her hospital stay. While the lawyer seemed unlikely to cooperate, she believed that the doctor and nurse might be more willing to share crucial details.
First, she needed to find a way to locate and contact the doctor and nurse. She recalled their faces and tried to recall any information they might have mentioned during her time at the hospital. After some reflection, she remembered that the nurse had mentioned the name of the hospital where she worked.
With this information in mind, Sheng Ruxi decided to pay a visit to the hospital. She hoped to find the nurse and, perhaps, the doctor as well. Sheng Ruxi approached the receptionist's desk, determined to gather any information she could. Sheng Ruxi introduced herself
"I need to see Dr. Li," Sheng Ruxi said firmly, her voice steady despite the uncertainty she felt inside.
The receptionist's eyes widened slightly, recognizing the significance of the name she mentioned. Dr. Li was not just any doctor; he was a high-ranking official in the hospital, entrusted with attending to VIP patients and handling dire situations.
After seconds of scrutinization from the receptionist,
"I'll inform Dr. Li that you're here." She picked up the phone and quickly placed the call to Dr. Li's office, relaying the information.
Meanwhile, Dr. Li, who was in his office flipping through documents, paused when he heard Sheng Ruxi's name. His initial confusion turned to alarm as he realized the implications of her presence. "Qin" the name she bore, was synonymous with danger and power. Dr. Li had received specific instructions while Sheng Ruxi was still in a coma. He was to keep her condition strictly confidential, not leaking any information to the public or even hospital staff.
