59 Get Lost Now! (2/2)

While the matter was going viral all over the internet, An Xiaoning was still nowhere to be found.

After several hours of searching non-stop, the police had still found nothing other than An Xiaoning's pair of shoes.

Hence, the police deduced that she may have escaped and saved herself, though she was not exactly great at swimming.

They then carefully watched the footage of the surveillance camera near the river, frame by frame.

They tried to look out for clues from the footage.

However, to the disappointment of many, there were some areas that appeared blurry because of the heavy rain that night, while no one was seen lurking around those that could be seen clearly.

Remaining on the bridge was not a solution either.

The police were under immense stress too about An Xiaoning going missing. The media was also careful not to make any assumptions about her death, because though there was not a single trace of her being alive, there was no evidence of her corpse either.

Just when everyone had become immersed in a state of moroseness and worry, Jin Qingyan's mobile phone began to ring.

He whipped out his wet and drenched mobile phone, which was surprisingly still intact, despite having been submerged in water.

However, he felt a sudden tinge of disappointment as he took a look at the caller display.

It was Chi Rui'er who had called.

Extremely upset and not in the mood to hear anything other than news about An Xiaoning, Jin Qingyan immediately dismissed the call without answering and put his mobile phone away into his pocket.

On the other end, Chi Rui'er was rather sensible and did not call again after that.

It was past 10 o'clock at night. Together, everyone from the Gu and Jin families headed to the villa An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan were living in. Mei Yangyang's scooter had run out of battery. Thus, she had no choice but to leave it in the trunk of the car and tag along.

The group made their way into the living room forlornly, only to be greeted by the sight of Chi Rui'er walking towards them.

”Chi Rui'er, what are you doing here?” Mrs. Jin immediately questioned.

”I… I heard that Qingyan's wife had met with a mishap. I tried to call him but he didn't pick up, so I decided to drop by for a look,” explained Chi Rui'er, a little jittery as she wearing An Xiaoning's home slippers.

”What has that got to do with you? Get lost now!” seethed Mrs. Jin, growing into an uncontrollable rage at the sight of Chi Rui'er. Evidently, Mrs. Jin could not tolerate her presence at all.

Exhibiting her authority as Jin Qingyan's Mother, Mrs. Jin glowered at Chi Rui'er and scowlingly said, ”Look at you, all eager to take Xiaoning's place as the Mistress of this house as soon as she had met with a mishap.”

Tears welled up in Chi Rui'er's eyes as she gazed at Jin Qingyan and said softly, ”I shouldn't have come. You don't have to chase me out, I'll leave right away.”

Noticing how she was crying but still trying to suppress her tears, Jin Qingyan gave an order to Fan Shixin, ”Send her home.”

”Got it.”

Chi Rui'er made her way out from the entrance and hopped into the car with her head hung low throughout. A sinister smile formed on her face as she gazed out of the window at the brightly lit living room.Translates to ”married and 40, yet still a beauty”An internet slang which translates to ”screwed a zoo”Yanluowang: a Chinese mythical king of Hell, akin to Hades of the western worldHeibai and Wuchang: two deities in Chinese mythology; one short, one tall, they were chained together at their ankles and were responsible for rewarding the good and punishing the bad
