Wang Fei Fei woke up, groaning softly as the searing pain tore through her head making her dizzy. She opened her eyes, looking through her hazy vision trying to understand where she was.
The discussion that she had with Zhang LiYu flooded into her memory slowly. Zhang LiYu must be waiting for her now.
Blood!
She smelt blood in the air,, and it made her jolt into full consciousness, was she bleeding?. She stood up slowly using the nearby chair as support, the hazy feeling still lingered and she tried to fight back slumping into the chair to rest.
She needed to escape here. She did a full scan of her body and spotted no blood stains or injury on her body, so where did the blood smell come from?.
The room was dim, Wang Fei Fei whose vision was still blur shuffled her way towards the door being careful to not bump into anything.
Thud!
" Ha!" Wang Fei Fei groaned. She has stumbled over something stiff and cold on the floor now she has fallen forward, her face almost touching the ground, if her hands had not supported her she would have suffered pain on her face.
She struggled to get up moaning painful at the throbbing of her head. As if magical, the lights turned on, brightening the dim litted room. The sudden brightness pierced Wang Fei Fei's eyes making her close her eyes tightly. She succeeded in standing up and was now close to the door but she stopped suddenly. Something was wrong with her dress.
Her body felt wet, but she was dry a moment ago, looking down at herself she almost let out a scream. She shuddered as she saw the red thick liquid on her dress.
Blood!
She wasn't mistaking when she smelt blood earlier, whose blood is this?. She wondered looking curious. The place in front of her was clean but behind her......
Wang Fei Fei turned back her face horrified. Her knees were wobbling and her body shook violently as her eyes caught a lifeless figure on the floor with blood surrounding it and a knife buried into the chest.
Someone was murdered! And it was a man with strays of white hair. The man should be at least in his late sixties.
The feeling that rose up in Wang Fei Fei's stomach made her hair stand, she walked shakily to the body trying to decipher who it was, but the face was bloody. The knife that stood like a majestic soldier that conquered an enemy was still buried in the chest.
The body showed no sign of warmth that means the person has been dead for hours, if the person was dead for hours how long has she been here?.
Wang Fei Fei knelt in front of the body searching through the pockets for any identification but found none.
She held the knife with her both hands trying to pull it out of the chest then she heard an unmistakable sound of door opening. She turned her head to see who it was and she spotted a young girl that looked like a teenager holding a bag and looking at her with face paled in fear.
" You murdered someone!" The girl screamed drawing the attention of the passerby. Wang Fei Fei withdrew her hands from the knife trying to explain that the girl misunderstood but the girl still continued screaming.
The room was soon congested with people as it was small and not to big to fit in many persons.
Wang Fei Fei's face turned ashen, she was been misunderstood for murder, how can she explain that she stumbled upon the body after waking up from her unconscious state?.
" No...no.., i did not murder him!" She said, standing to her feet to address the people.
" Ha!, this lady has killed someone and now she is denying it!" Someone said from the crowd, the voice sounding disgusted.
" There are really wicked souls in this life!" Someone chimed in.
" How can a lady who looks so fine and decent murder someone? and that in a Private room of a popular restaurant " Another person said
" Her clothes looks like it cost millions and look at that bag lying there on the chair it costs one million, she is obviously rich why did she kill someone?"
Wang Fei Fei trembled as she heard these comments, the room was soon filled with indistinct chatter, everyone present were saying his or her opinion.
Wang Fei Fei could not move an inch she doesn't know what was wrong with her but she was rooted to the ground still shaking, her face pale.
Where is Zhang LiYu?, she was not in sight and it worried Wang Fei Fei. How was she going to explain her predicament to these strong willed people if they don't just keep quiet and Investigate the issue.
" Please, investigate this issue, i did not kill this man!" Wang Fei Fei tried to explain her voice strained.
" Investigate?, what is there to investigate when we have seen enough!" Someone scoffed
" The words of a murderer trying to hid a murder is always contradicting to evidence found, you deserve to go to jail for this murder!"
Wang Fei Fei's expression tensed and was visibly ashen at the mention of Jail. She has not gone to jail before and if she goes for a murder she didn't commit wouldn't that ruin her reputation and injure her dignity?.
" I... I'm saying the truth!, please investigate this issue and don't send me to jail!"Wang Fei Fei tried to explain. She did not want to go to jail, it'll be a disgrace to her family and at the peak of her fame it'll be an embarrassment since it was a sensitive period for her.
She was a fashion designer and her dreams has not been perfected to her liken this period she had to live without scandals or else....
" Please don't just judge a book by its cover, try to investigate" Wang Fei Fei urged, her body trembling.
" Isn't that lady familiar?, she looks so much like our sunshine, Wang Fei Fei " someone said from the crowd.
Wang Fei Fei bit her lip that it almost drawed blood. She was pessimistic about this murder situation, the situation was getting out of hands and someone had managed to identify her now which will lead to her career crash and her reputation destroyed.
A reputation she carefully built and molded to fit the society was now being shattered to microscopic pieces.
