515 The Secret About the Past 133 (1/2)
”I'll pass. I have something important to attend to tonight.”
Upon sight of Tuoba Gucheng exiting from the room, she hurriedly ended the call and greeted him, ”Goodbye, Your Highness.”
Tuoba Gucheng rolled his eyes and walked past her.
Once he reached the door, he turned around to take a glance at her back view and muttered under his breath, ”The back view of a woman is always deceptive…”

Xu Youran sprung up abruptly as cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She opened her palms to find that they were sweaty too.
She had an endless nightmare during her one-hour nap.
It had been a long time since she last dreamed of her biological mother.
In fact, it had been so long that she could not even remember when the last time was.
In the nightmare, her mother died exactly the way she had witnessed when she was younger — she poisoned herself and blood was gushing out of every crevice of her body.
Xu Youran clutched her chest while trying to recover from the shock. Throughout all these years, she dared not recall the gory scene, which had appeared once again in her nightmare. It was so livid that she felt as if it had just happened yesterday.
She lifted the duvet and got out of bed to pour herself some plain water, which she gulped down in one go. She then slammed the empty cup onto the table with a loud thud.
She would never stop until she got her revenge!
After some thought, she changed into a fresh set of clothes and headed to the black market while wearing a surgical mask and a pair of shades.
There were an array of items sold in the black market that were not available on the open market.
Xu Youran bought five syringes that contained an expensive liquid.
She spent a hefty sum to purchase them.
She then quickly left the black market with the items she had just bought.
Along the way home in her car, she brainstormed for a way to execute her perfect plan.
This time, she must not let the cat out of the bag.
Neither could she tell her husband about the plan she had devised.
She had to keep everything secret and ensure that everything would be carried out seamlessly.
She contacted Yuan Mingzhu.
Being extremely busy, Yuan Mingzhu would usually turn down requests from strangers asking to meet her. However, she agreed this time upon hearing that she was Xu Yang's sister.
”May I know what you're asking to see me for, Ms. Xu?”
”Hello, Police Officer Yuan. I heard that you're the only other female police officer who can communicate with spirits apart from An Xiaoning. Is that true?”
Yuan Mingzhu smiled and answered, ”Yes.”
”I'm rather curious about this, Police Officer Yuan. What are you able to tell when you're psychic?”
”I can tell the cause of a person's death by reading their birth characters. Those who have higher powers may also summon spirits and communicate with them…”
”How do you tell the cause of death by reading their birth characters?”
”I'll only be able to tell the final outcome. For example, if a person was stabbed in his chest, I'd only be able to tell that they died of heart failure and not because he was stabbed by a knife,” Yuan Mingzhu said frankly.
