I Received Messages From Future Self!

Looking at the message Zhi Qi sent on the WeChat chat interface, Fang Xiaocao’s hands were trembling.

Cold!

So cold!

“Could it really be her…”

Fang Xiaocao muttered, her lips quivering.

An orphan from a young age, Zhi Qi was almost the whole of her childhood, the repository of familial affection.

Now, she faced the betrayal of the closest person to her.

Fang Xiaocao felt like she was about to suffocate.

Fang Xiaocao kept taking deep breaths, relieving the feeling of suffocation, her heartbeat seemingly half a beat slower.

“Huff…”

Fang Xiaocao exhaled a breath of turbid air, forcibly bringing her emotions back to calm.

She knew that at this time, she needed to keep cool, and couldn’t let her emotions sway her brain’s thinking.

“It’s just a suspicion…”

“I haven’t got any evidence yet!”

Fang Xiaocao comforted herself.

“Since there is suspicion, let’s give it a try.”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.

“Xiaoqi, what do you need with this young lady?”

Fang Xiaocao picked up her phone and drafted a message in reply to Zhi Qi’s message.

[Zhi Qi: Xiaocao, where are you?]

[Zhi Qi: I just went to your rented house and found you weren’t home, the door wide open. Are you alright?]

“Boom!”

Looking at Zhi Qi’s message, Fang Xiaocao felt thunderstruck once more.

“How does she know I live in Xintiandi?”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

“If I remember correctly, I never told Zhi Qi where I rented my house, let alone the unit building and door number.”

Fang Xiaocao recalled carefully, murmuring to herself.

At this point, Zhi Qi’s suspicion was magnified again.

“My home?”

“What are you doing at my home?”

Fang Xiaocao replied, feigning nonchalance.

[Zhi Qi: Of course, I’m going to find you for fun!]

[Zhi Qi: I happen to be free today, so I’m planning to call you and the others out to hang out together.]

Zhi Qi seemed not to notice Fang Xiaocao’s probing.

Looking at Zhi Qi’s reply, Fang Xiaocao frowned, pondering whether someone had revealed her address.

“Su Wanqing, Wen Shi, Yun Luoshu, they all know I moved to the Xintiandi neighborhood.”

“If Zhi Qi is with the three of them, then it’s not strange that she knows my address.”

Fang Xiaocao mumbled to herself.

“Several people?”

“Who are they?”

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaocao responded to Zhi Qi.

She would know if Su Wanqing and the other two were with her if she probed a bit.

[Zhi Qi: Naturally, it’s Su Wanqing, Wen Shi, and Yun Luoshu.]

[Zhi Qi: Besides these three, who else could it be?]

Zhi Qi’s answer was without flaws.

With Su Wanqing and the other two around, Zhi Qi knowing Fang Xiaocao’s address seemed quite natural.

However, Fang Xiaocao didn’t relax her guard because of this, rather she became more alert.

Zhi Qi’s answers seemed reasonable, but there were still flaws.

That was, Su Wanqing and the other two had only known Zhi Qi for a few days, when did they become so close?

Zhi Qi wanted to invite her out for fun, why didn’t she directly seek her out, but instead planned to meet with Su Wanqing and the other two first?

What’s going on?

She has been acquaintances with me since childhood, but in Zhi Qi’s heart, am I worth less than three people Su Wanqing has just met?

This clearly does not fit normal human logic.

In such circumstances, a normal person would invite their closest friend and bring along a few other friends as well.

“Oh, I see.”

“I don’t live there anymore, I didn’t go there yesterday.”

Fang Xiaocao made up a lie on the spot.

Regardless of whether that person secretly hiring an assassin to commit murder is Zhi Qi or not, Xiaocao decided not to tell Zhi Qi about the attack she suffered from Dolphin last night.

Before the interrogation is clear, Tang City Police Department also won’t rush to disclose the news of Dolphin’s capture in Tang City.

Xiaocao intended to throw a smoke grenade, to make the person hiding in the dark doubt Dolphin’s whereabouts.

Even though the person in the shadows might also have foreknowledge of future events, Xiaocao still wanted to confuse them as much as possible.

The person who was targeted for assassination had not a scratch on them and even claimed to not have been home when Dolphin made a move last night, now tell me, isn’t that confusing?

Even with foreknowledge of future events, knowing that Dolphin has been captured, the specific details of Dolphin’s capture could not be disclosed.

The person hiding in the dark would never guess that Dolphin was taken down by Fang Xiaocao.

As for the bounty reward money for Dolphin being transferred to Xiaocao’s account…

The confidentiality of these notorious black and red lists is top-notch. Even with the payment of the bounty reward, it is done anonymously, and outsiders can’t find a single clue.

The administrators of the black and red list also fear their accounts being exposed and traced back to their hideout by those with ulterior motives.

After all, the people on the black and red list are all notoriously dangerous assassins.

Should these notorious psychopathic assassins find their hideout, the demise of the black and red list wouldn’t be far behind.

Constantly watched by these infamous assassins, the managers of the black and red list have to sleep with one eye open.

[Quack, quack, quack!]

As Fang Xiaocao was lost in thought, her phone’s message notification went off again.

Xiaocao came to her senses, unlocked the screen, and checked the WeChat messages.

[Zhi Qi: Why didn’t you go back to stay?]

[Zhi Qi: Did something happen?]

Reading Zhi Qi’s messages, Xiaocao blinked and her suspicion towards Zhi Qi increased by a notch.

“Is she trying to probe whether I had an encounter with Dolphin?”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

“Oh, it’s nothing much.”

“The landlord said that while I was away, a stranger had entered that room.”

“The landlord asked if it was a friend of mine.”

“I said no, so the landlord called the police.”

“The police officer from the police department saw the person’s photo and said he’s a very dangerous individual, so the landlord notified me not to go back.”

With a scoff, Xiaocao threw out another smoke grenade, confusing Zhi Qi or perhaps the person hiding in the shadows.

Xiaocao intended to throw the person in the shadows off balance.

She wanted them to believe that Dolphin was overconfident and, because of that overconfidence, exposed his movements.

The future news they knew – Dolphin’s capture – was due to his movements being spotted by the police, who then discovered his identity, leading to the fact that Dolphin was caught.

“I just want you to doubt yourself!”

Xiaocao muttered to herself.

[Zhi Qi: Where have you moved to now?]

[Zhi Qi: We’ll come find you!]

Looking at Zhi Qi’s messages, Xiaocao narrowed her eyes.

“Such an eager attempt to suss out my address only makes you more suspicious!”@@novelbin@@

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.

With narrowed eyes, Xiaocao thought for a moment.

She decided to test Zhi Qi.

“I’m at the Phoenix Hotel!”

“You guys come wait for me in the hotel lobby.”

“We’ll drive out together!”

Fang Xiaocao exposed her supposed hotel of stay to Zhi Qi.

After all, Xiaocao was no longer staying there.

She had not checked out yet because she wanted to use it as bait.
