600 The Secret About the Past 218 (1/2)
”My father has to attend an urgent meeting that cropped up at the last minute. We don't have to go anymore.”
An Xiaoning immediately pulled a long face and asked, ”What did Mr. President want to see you for?”
”He probably just wanted to brief me about the elections, what else could it possibly be about? I already know what to do even without his instructions. Great, now I don't have to go listen to his lecture. C'mon, let's go back.” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
An Xiaoning was speechless.
”Why are you upset again?”
”I initially thought I could take a tour around Mr. President's office. But I guess I don't have the chance to now.”
”Take a tour? Do you think this is a tourist attraction? There's no way you'll be allowed to take a tour around the office freely like you're at home. There'll be people following you the moment you enter the mansion. The same goes for me too, I'm no exception,” he said solemnly.
Upon hearing his words, An Xiaoning could not help but feel like she was being too naive before.
In the Autumn Palace where security was tight, no one else could give her a helping hand except Tuoba Shuo.
It was quite a tall order. Although she wanted to find out the truth about her mother as soon as possible, she had no choice but to take things one step at a time.
She ought to be extremely careful at all times while going about her investigation if she did not want her identity to be exposed.
Just as they entered the yard of Tuoba Gucheng's mansion, they were greeted with the sight of two bodyguards walking alongside Bai Zhi, each holding some heavy training equipment in hand.
Bai Zhi's hands were empty, however.
Clearly, Bai Zhi was the one who was tasked with carrying the equipment. However, the two men could not bear to let such a gorgeous babe exert herself and thus offered to give her a hand.
An Xiaoning was immediately reminded of the treatment she was subjected to a few days ago. She could not help but remark bitterly, ”Looks are truly of utmost importance in today's society. No one has come forth to help me whenever I'm struggling to carry heavy items.”
The bodyguards beside Bai Zhi chuckled awkwardly, not daring to utter anything callous in front of Tuoba Gucheng. Thus, they said politely, ”Mu Ning, if you're tasked with carrying heavy items again in the future, feel free to call us for help.”
An Xiaoning gave a courteous smile but did not answer.
After waiting for the three of them to leave, Tuoba Gucheng turned around abruptly and stared at An Xiaoning intently. ”Bai Zhi may be able to gain some perks because of her good looks, but she won't stand to gain as much as you.”
”What do you mean, Your Highness?”
”Figure it out yourself,” he answered vaguely.
An Xiaoning could not be bothered to waste her time trying to figure out what he meant and, thus, just let it slip.
”Your Highness!” a voice yelled from the entrance.
An Xiaoning and Tuoba Gucheng turned to look.
They caught sight of one of Tuoba Rui's bodyguards running toward them and exclaiming, ”The results from the blood DNA test are out. Military Commander Xu's daughter is Bai Zhi.”
Tuoba Gucheng and An Xiaoning looked at each other in astonishment, both greatly taken aback by the news.
”Is that so? Bring Bai Zhi over then. She's headed to the training ground.”
”Alright.”
A grave expression formed on An Xiaoning's face. She'd had a gut feeling that Bai Zhi was not a simple person, though she'd been unsure if she was thinking too much.
”Your Highness, is this the reason for the blood drawing exercise that was conducted a few days ago?”
”Yes.”
”I'm a little confused. How was Military Commander Xu so sure that his biological daughter was in the Autumn Palace?” An Xiaoning questioned in puzzlement.
”Nothing is impossible in this world. I heard he found out about it after a special visit to a fortune-teller. Turns out it's really the case,” said Tuoba Gucheng, after which he entered the mansion right away.
It did take some special abilities to be able to accurately tell a person's whereabouts based on their birth characters.
