”Your sister lives in Wei Ni Estate and she can even afford to buy your father such an expensive piece of jade. What exactly does she do for a living?” Xiaozong asked.

”What is your brother-in-law's name?”

Xiaozong lit up in surprise. ”Long Tianze?”
”Yes, his name is Long Tianze.”
”Do your sister and your brother-in-law share a close relationship?”
”Yes, they do,” Mei Shuangshuang answered with a nod.
”If we could dupe your sister, lure her out, and then extort money from your brother-in-law, I'm sure he'll give it to you.”
”I'll then be sent to prison after I get my hands on the money,” Mei Shuangshuang said feebly.
”Are you silly? How could you do it yourself? Don't you know how to hire someone else to do it?” said Xiaozong.
”I don't even have money to hire someone to do it for me. All you do is just talk.”
”I can borrow some from my friends,” said Xiaozong.
”I'll think about it. But I'm still hoping that the police can help recover my money.”
”Alright, give it some thought. Anyway, this will not be an easy task and we'll have to come up with a seamless plan.”

An Xiaoning could very clearly sense the drastic change in Tuoba Gucheng's attitude.
Apart from giving her official instructions, he had never spoken to her about anything else ever since.
An Xiaoning would often remain quiet and, sometimes, stay silent without uttering a word for several consecutive days.
He perpetually had a sullen expression on his face, which only eased up in front of Lin Shishi.
Everyone knew that the pair of newlyweds were becoming increasingly loving toward each other ever since they got married.
Lin Shishi was just like a teenager who fell hopelessly in love, for she was beaming with joy every single day.
An Xiaoning was glad to see how well Tuoba Gucheng was treating Lin Shishi, and she was happy for the latter.
Don't most women just yearn to have a husband who dotes on them?
Time passed by, day after day. It was the end of August when a piece of groundbreaking news erupted online.
Tuoba Hancheng was photographed entering a popular gay nightclub and did not leave until the next day, causing a major uproar amongst the public.
Without a doubt, such controversial news would definitely be disadvantageous, especially since there was only a short period of time until the presidential election.
Although the piece of news was revoked very soon, the public nevertheless still continued to engage in incessant gossip about the matter, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.
Besides, Tuoba Hancheng was the only bachelor amongst his siblings, since Tuoba Gucheng was already married and Tuoba Danxue's wedding was to be held in December.
Tuoba Hancheng was a stern and reserved man who had dashing good looks and a superb figure.
Everyone began speculating and deducing that he must be a homosexual.
There were all sorts of comments and opinions.
Tuoba Rui and Shi Xiaoyu hit the roof when the news went out.
They immediately released a statement, claiming that Tuoba Hancheng was not a homosexual.
However, there was no way to reverse the adverse effects brought about by the piece of news, regardless of their statement.
Come September, the entire nation would be casting their votes to elect the next president.
The presidential election was held once every eight years. However, all of the presidential candidates would perpetually be from the Tuoba family.
After all, how could an outsider be elected as the president in a nation whose political system was based on royal inheritance?
An Xiaoning had a little less than a month to go before the election when she arrived back at the Autumn Palace from A City.
She would hear the fishy ringing sound once every few days. After having heard it several times, she was certain that there was definitely a secret chamber in the room.
