903 A Million Times for You 265 (1/2)

Jin Qingyan decided to comply with her wishes and said to Xiao Bai, ”Do as your Young Madam said. Get Shixin to prepare a coffin of superior quality.”

”Yes, Young Sir.”

Xiao Bai swiftly did as instructed and called Fan Shixin.

Just like they had guessed, the hole of the pipe was coated with lethal poison, beneath which there were signs of sinking.

It was more than obvious.

The mastermind was extremely scheming and vicious to have thought of poisoning them using such a cunning method that they couldn't have defended against.

One would die within a short amount of time once they ingest the water from the well.

Jin Qingyan ordered for a hole to be dug deeper into the well, until it reached a depth of about five meters. They then verified that there was a similar pipe near the hole, after which they continued digging around the hole.

At this moment, An Xiaoning asked Bei Qi, ”Do you know what kind of poison this is?”

”I'm not quite sure yet at the moment. Let me look into it and do my research for a night. I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning.”

An Xiaoning expressed assent and said, ”It's going to be hard on you.”

Bei Qi returned to Wei Ni Estate and began studying the poison while the cranes continued to dig. The management committee and security officers of the estate soon began to intervene.

However, An Xiaoning managed to shut the security officers up by bribing them with some money, after which she was allowed to dig wherever she wanted.

The pipe ended at a certain spot where they discovered an underground passage.

It was extremely narrow.

An Xiaoning instructed the bodyguards to enter the passageway while she and Jin Qingyan walked along the direction of the passageway above ground.

The passageway was rather long and had several bends here and there. The exit led to a bridge near the estate.

She looked at Jin Qingyan and said, ”It was such meticulous work. It takes more than ordinary skills to build such a passageway.”

”The mastermind must be well aware of where the water pump room is, to construct such a passageway.”

”That's right. The water sources and supply in this estate are all controlled by the developer and management, apart from those in the apartments in the high buildings. Every well of each mansion is of different height and positions. Although there was already a well when I bought the mansion, the average person probably wouldn't be aware of where it is exactly in my house. Well, unless he or she inquires about it from the developer or the construction workers involved in building the mansion, or the architect or other workers.”

She said, ”I think I know where to start investigating from.”

Upon returning to the estate, Jin Qingyan ordered the bodyguards to flatten the soil above the secret passageway.

Since An Xiaoning did not eat much for dinner, Jin Qingyan instructed Auntie Chen to prepare her favorite dishes, which Xiao Bai then delivered to them.

An Xiaoning had no appetite at all despite staring at the delicious food in front of her.

Jin Qingyan handed her a pair of chopsticks and said, ”How can you go without food? Have a little something to eat. Although you said that you could survive without food, you're still human and it's better to eat something.”

She decided to listen to his advice and began eating slowly.

Due to the fact that she had downed some soap water to induce vomit earlier, her stomach felt rather upset when the food entered her stomach.
