61 Whos Got Such a Nerve (2/2)
Furthermore, his number had a contact name on her phone.
Jin Qingyan took out his phone, wondering if the message could have been sent out from his own device.
Whether or not it was, he would know for sure once he checked.
He passed his phone to Fan Shixin to run a check, and a lead came back very soon.
During the process of waiting, Jin Qingyan found it unusually tough to bear with.
At one o'clock in the morning, the rain outside finally stopped.
The long wait finally came to an end when Fan Shixin returned with the results of his investigation.
”Young Master,” he started slowly, ”I used a special channel to investigate. The text came from your original phone — the specific model number is exactly the same.”
Jin Qingyan's pupils constricted. ”I didn't send her any text.”
”About this, I'm not too sure.”
”When was the text sent out?”
”6:17 pm.”
Jin Qingyan's whole body froze. His face turned from a rich rose-pink to pale white before becoming green. It seemed very hard for him to believe the truth. After he got off from work at 5:30 pm, he had gone to Wei Ni Estate and remained there until he went home. He remembered clearly that his phone was placed on the table throughout, and in between, he had gone to the washroom.
The truth behind the matter became extremely clear already.
He sprung up and briskly headed out, alarming Fan Shixin. ”Young Master, where are you going?”
”Wei Ni Estate.”
Upon hearing his reply, Fan Shixin could guess something and followed closely behind him.

At that time, Chi Rui'er was not asleep yet. With the news reporting the arrest of the five, she kept on checking whether there were new updates on the case.
As she lay in bed tossing and turning around, her heart was in a state of uneasiness.
She heard the sound of footsteps approaching from the corridor in an accelerating manner.
Putting her phone aside and switching on the table lamp, she sat up in her bed.
She could hear the sound of the spare keys clicking into the door. The next moment, the door was vigorously pushed wide open. She looked and saw Jin Qingyan standing at the doorway.
”Qingyan…”
His lips were pursed and he pulled a grim face. ”Why aren't you asleep?”
”I just woke up, why are you here at this time?”
”Nothing much, I just came to check on the surveillance cameras here.” He continued in a meaningful tone, ”My wife was attacked because someone sent her a text with my phone, but I never sent her any text of that sort. Thinking back, I was here when the text was sent from my phone, so it would've been done by someone from this house. The police still couldn't find the person behind it. I think looking at the surveillance footage here will give me a clear picture.”
”So, the surveillance footage… have you checked it?” Her face went ghastly pale; it appeared like there was no trace of blood there at all.
”Shixin has gone to retrieve it.” He stared at her face. In his eyes, a surge of emotions was rising. ”I want to see for my own eyes who's got such a nerve.”
