Chapter 77 Was it Pei Yu who drugged him?

"Really? Don't we need to go to the hospital?"

Xiao Dong was worried, fearing that Shen Zhiyi was sick but still holding on, and he kept talking about this matter the whole afternoon.

"I'm fine," Shen Zhiyi took a sip of water. His complexion looked much better than at noon. He still had two scenes to shoot, so he had to make do with snacks for lunch.

I always feel that she is not as relaxed as she appears, and Xiao Dong can't persuade her no matter what, so he can only observe her from the side. If she shows the uncomfortable condition like at noon again, he will take her to the hospital directly.

As it got darker, a few more lights were added to the set. The cell phone in his pocket kept ringing. Xiao Dong hung up immediately when he saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He had a feeling that the call was from Huo Heng.

The expectation was confirmed. Huo Heng sent several messages in a row, saying that he had something important to say. Xiao Dong curled his lips. What important thing could Huo Heng have to say? It was probably just an excuse.

But Huo Heng seemed really anxious, and kept calling and messaging him. Gradually, Xiao Dong also became a little shaken.

Is there something really important to say?

Fearing delays, Xiao Dong handed over the phone to Shen Zhiyi when she was taking a break after filming, but he was still on guard. "If he says something nonsense, just hang up and never talk to him again."

Shen Zhiyi read the messages first. Huo Heng kept repeating that he had something important to say, and it seemed very urgent. Although she didn't want to pay attention to him, she still answered the call again, wanting to hear what the important thing was.

Huo Heng also knew how annoying he was now. He finally got a chance to talk on the phone, so he didn't dare to waste any words and went straight to the point, "Zhiyi, I found out who drugged you that night."

His hand paused, almost knocking over the water bottle. Shen Zhiyi raised his eyes, his expression much colder, "Who is it?"

Huo Heng opened his mouth to say a name, but Xu Xia on the other side kept winking at him. He hesitated and said, "Let's talk about it when we meet. I will tell you everything."

After hanging up the phone, he frowned, not understanding what Xu Xia just meant, "Why didn't you let me tell Zhiyi directly?"

Huo Heng has been investigating this matter for a long time. He lost the clue when he was about to find out the mastermind behind it. He only found clues not long ago. It was not until today that he got the definite information that the person who drugged Shen Zhiyi was Xu Zhouxing.

He knew Xu Zhouxing and knew that this man had been pursuing Shen Zhiyi for several years, but Huo Heng didn't care about such a person at all. Firstly, he was just a second-generation rich man who was just living a lazy life and was not highly recognized in the industry. Secondly, Shen Zhiyi didn't like him and he couldn't compare with herself at all.

It was such a person who actually dared to use such dirty means. When Huo Heng thought that even if Shen Zhiyi didn't fall into the trap that night, he would have fallen into the trap, he felt very disgusted and couldn't wait to tell Shen Zhiyi the truth.

Xu Xia did not answer but asked, "Do you mind Xu Zhouxing, or do you mind Pei Yu more?"

This question made Huo Heng look unnaturally flustered, "I don't know anyone—"

"Why don't you tell me the truth?" Xu Xia was too lazy to listen to his pretentious words. There was no time to talk about this now. She said directly, "Don't you mind Shen Zhiyi and Pei Yu being together? This is a good opportunity to separate them."

Huo Heng subconsciously explained, "I just feel that Zhiyi can't stay with this kind of person for long. If she gives her true heart, she will definitely be betrayed. I don't want to see her get hurt. I don't mean any other thing."

Xu Xia smiled and followed his meaning, "I know, Brother Huo, you don't need to explain, I won't be jealous, I feel the same as you, I also hope that Sister Zhiyi can get out of this as soon as possible."

She said leisurely, "Isn't this a good opportunity?"

Huo Heng was stunned for a moment before he understood what she meant, "You mean to let me... But Zhiyi may not break up with Pei Yu because of this."

"She will," Xu Xia knew Shen Zhiyi better than he did at this time, "Sister Zhiyi looks soft-hearted, but she actually has strong principles. She will definitely not be able to accept it."

Just like Huo Heng, didn’t Shen Zhiyi also say that they would break up and never regret it?
After finishing the filming, Shen Zhiyi came to the meeting place with Huo Heng. She didn't plan to stay too long. It was already late and she had to go back to Hua Ting. "Go ahead."

In fact, she also asked someone to investigate the drugging incident afterwards, but the banquet venue was special and not so easy to investigate, and the clues were lost when nothing was found. Huo Heng had mentioned before that he would ask someone to investigate the matter, but she didn't take it seriously. She didn't expect that he really found it out.

Huo Heng's mouth was dry, so he drank a glass of water first. "Zhiyi, what I'm going to say next is what I found out through investigation, so don't disbelieve it."

He followed the instructions he had agreed with Xu Xia and asked questions one by one, "You and Pei Yu met that night, right?"

Shen Zhiyi frowned, "What does it have to do with Pei Yu?"

She tightened her fingers slightly, "Don't keep me in suspense."

"I didn't. I just wanted to remind you of something wrong with this matter. Have you ever thought about why you happened to walk into the same lounge with Pei Yu?"

He pushed over a banquet invitation list, "Pei Yu was not among the people invited to the banquet. No one even knew that he was in Nanyuan that night. What reason did he have to be there?"

Huo Heng paused, "Except you."

Shen Zhiyi felt ridiculous, "Because of me?"

She had no contact with Pei Yu before that time, so how could it be for her?

Huo Heng knew what she was wondering about, and took out a photo he bought from a reporter. This photo was prepared by Xu Xia, "Pei Yu has seen you before, and he has been eyeing you for a long time."

The photo was taken at a dinner party. Shen Zhiyi accompanied Huo Heng to the party. In the corner of the brightly lit hall, there stood a slender figure. Pei Yu half-raised his eyes, looking straight at her over the crowd. His eyes were extremely straightforward, concealing a surging possessive desire.

No one can deny this.

However, Shen Zhiyi had no impression of this scene at all.

Huo Heng spoke faster, "Everything was arranged by Pei Yu. He has the ability to do something in that kind of situation, doesn't he? He is not as good as you think. He just wants to take you away from me in this way..."

He concluded cruelly, "He succeeded. Even if you ask him for proof now, he will just find a scapegoat to block it. When he gets tired of playing, he will-"

"do not talk."

Shen Zhiyi was unusually calm. She stood up and said, "I will listen to his explanation."

The coffee on the table was not touched. Huo Heng finished the remaining water and felt uneasy. "We don't have much evidence, and it's far-fetched. What if--"

Xu Xia came out, "That's enough."

A relationship that is not solid to begin with and perhaps just for fun can be destroyed by a little doubt.

　Let me first make it clear that the breakup was not caused by this misunderstanding, but this misunderstanding was the fuse. The foreshadowing before caused the two of them to be not so calm, coupled with their existing character flaws and psychological shadows, all these combined made this breakup so hasty and decisive.

　　We will be separated tomorrow (dog head). Separation is to face our inner selves, correct our flaws, and accept the real other person. Generally speaking, it is to avoid separation a second time after being together, although this process is slow.
