272 Yousre the Only One I Adore 5 (1/2)

Jin Qingyan sat up straight immediately and asked, ”Whose phone are you using?”

”Officer Ma's. My phone was confiscated by the police. I'll retrieve it later. I'd like to see you, make a trip down to the police station,” An Xiaoning said quickly.

”Sure.”

An Xiaoning hung up and handed the phone back to Ma Jianguo. After taking a look at the dialed number, Ma Jianguo remarked in surprise, ”Why is Jin Qingyan's mobile number so peculiar? There are so many 8's.”

”Exactly why it's so easy to remember. I don't even have to memorize it,” said An Xiaoning.

”Team Leader, we knew all along that you're not the murderer. Seems like this servant is very suspicious.”

Ma Jianguo turned to Pan Zhenghui and said, ”Chief, haven't the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit been checking up on the servant?”

”The eyewitness' statements were all they needed to nail Xiaoning as the suspect. The current investigation outcomes are all the same. From the looks of it, I should be focusing on the Jin family. Something smells fishy,” said Pan Zhenghui.

An Xiaoning remained quiet and gazed out of the window at the passing streets, feeling as if her heart had sunk deeper.

Jin Qingyan had already arrived at the police station by the time they made it back. An Xiaoning had noticed his white Bentley with one glance.

It was his car indeed.

As soon as the police car came to a halt, An Xiaoning alighted from the car and strode quickly towards the Bentley.

Jin Qingyan had just gotten down from his car as well.

He had not seen her in half a month.

She had slimmed down a lot and lost all the weight she had just gained recently.

He extended his arms for an embrace, after which An Xiaoning jumped onto him and wrapped her legs around him. ”Qingyan!” she exclaimed, hugging him tightly.

Jin Qingyan carried her into the car.

The four men sitting in the police car not too far away were stunned at the scene before them.

Jin Qingyan closed the car door and gazed at the petite An Xiaoning. ”I've been to the police station several times in the past few days, but I didn't get to see you. I was told that the higher-ups forbade any visitors.”

”Well, I'm out now. We'd just returned from visiting the parents of that female servant your family hired. We found out that the name of the servant who called me into your grandmother's room is Liu Yingying. Her parents said that she was working as a servant for your family. But, when the police questioned the butler previously, the butler denied the existence of such a servant. I instructed Ma Jianguo to bring the portrait sketch to the butler. If he still insists on denying it, then I'm certain that there's something suspicious and fishy about the butler,” An Xiaoning explained.

After giving her words some thought, Jin Qingyan answered, ”Is that so? No wonder I had a feeling that it wasn't an outsider who was behind this.”

”Why?”

”Just a hunch I had.”

”I've read Liu Yingying's birth characters given by her parents and found she's now dead. But her parents don't know yet,” said An Xiaoning, holding onto his hand tightly.

”No matter what, I'll definitely prove your innocence and protect you,” Jin Qingyan reassured her as he reached a hand out to caress her face.

”I've missed you dearly for the past two weeks that I was imprisoned.”

He gave her a peck before proceeding to kiss her passionately.

An Xiaoning reciprocated.

They continued to smooch for five minutes before letting go of each other. After two weeks of not seeing each other, they suddenly felt as if they had returned to the honeymoon stage of their relationship again.

Hand in hand, they could guess what was on each other's mind even though they were not speaking.

”I still have to stay here tonight, you should go home first.”

”It's chilly, be careful not to catch a cold,” Jin Qingyan reminded her.

”Got it. I'll get going then,” said An Xiaoning as she let go of his hand.

”Okay.”

Just as An Xiaoning pushed the door open, she was again stopped by Jin Qingyan, who planted another passionate kiss on her lips before letting go of her reluctantly.

She closed the car door, after which Jin Qingyan drove away quickly.

An Xiaoning returned to her office to wait for Ma Jianguo.
