530 The Secret About the Past 148 (1/2)
”You got drunk right from the start. The three of us were the only ones left drinking. The person who brought the liquor inside the room was one of the three of us as well. I already know who it is without having to spell it out loud. Let's just take it that this never happened. I don't wish to pursue the matter any further.”
For the first time, An Xiaoning felt that he was not as vicious as he seemed to be on the surface.
However, she never thought that Zhi Yin would have the audacity to commit such a brazen act.
It was truly unexpected.
Tuoba Gucheng handed her a thick envelope.
”What's this?”
”There are 50 thousand dollars in there. It's for you.”
Shaking her head, An Xiaoning said, ”I don't want it. If there's nothing else, I'll be going back now.”
She bowed and turned around to leave.
Tuoba Gucheng was filled with an inexplicable feeling as he watched her leave.
He was bewildered by his own actions that night, finding it hard to believe that he would actually resort to getting intimate with such a dull-looking girl out of desperation. But then again, his judgment must have been impaired because of the aphrodisiac.
His memories of last night's events were vague, and he could not recall in detail what exactly happened.
All he could remember was that he had definitely gotten intimate with her.
The mere thought of the incident gave him a major headache.
The conversation An Xiaoning and Tuoba Gucheng just had flooded her mind when she left his mansion.
She initially thought that he would be questioning her and holding her liable for knocking him out. Yet, it turned out that not only did he forget what happened, but he also even mistook the situation and thought that they had gotten intimate.
Recalling the constipated look on his face earlier, An Xiaoning felt a strong urge to hurl vulgarities at him. Her reputation as a pure and demure lady was going to be tainted by him forever.
Fortunately, the matter would be kept a secret between the two of them. He definitely would not breathe a single word of it to another person, and neither would she.
Besides, it did not matter what he thought since she knew that her conscience was clear.

”Young Sir, we can't get the footage from the surveillance cameras at the café.”
”Why not?”
”Because the surveillance cameras inside and outside of the café have all been destroyed. Actually, I think the mastermind must've realized that it was necessary to destroy the surveillance cameras. Otherwise, they would've been caught by us easily. So, I guess it'd be rather difficult to find any clues from here. But, Young Sir, do you think it might be Ye Xiaotian's doing as a form of revenge against us?” Fan Shixin said softly.
”That's one possibility. Well, forget it if we can't get the surveillance camera footages of the café. There are three people I suspect now.”
Fan Shixin knew who he was referring to. ”Xu Youran and Ye Xiaotian are amongst the three, am I right?”
”It might be the DK terrorist organization too. We can't exactly pinpoint who it is yet, at the moment. Have you executed Fang Xiaotian?”
”Not yet.”
”Get a simulation portrait sketch done according to Fang Xiaotian's description of the man he met before killing him.”
”Yes.”
Fan Shixin did as instructed.
Just as he left, Long Tianze showed up.
Noticing that Jin Qingyan was sitting alone, Long Tianze took lighter steps in a bid to scare him. Yet, he received a great shock himself instead when Jin Qingyan sprung up from his seat all of a sudden before the former could even take action.
”Trying to scare me?”
”No, since when? You know that I'm never that childish. How are you?” Long Tianze asked, taking a seat beside him.
”I'm fine. I felt so ashamed when the truth was out though,” said Jin Qingyan, sounding a little melancholic.
Long Tianze gave him a pat on his shoulder and said, ”It's all over now. But Uncle…”
”I've already called to warn him. He knows how to weigh the pros and cons. I'm sure he wouldn't leak it.”
