919 A Million Times for You 281 (2/2)

He was extremely clear regarding the whole process of how it had happened.

Even though he knew there was a high chance that she had done it, without any evidence, there was no way he could make accusations so hastily.

The Lin family was his in-laws and, given that a few family members were killed in this case, it became a widely-discussed topic in the news. He had to investigate this matter properly to give the people, as well as Lin Shishi, an answer.

Things became really tricky for him.

If An Xiaoning was the one behind it, Tuoba Gucheng felt that she would have definitely had everything well planned out, and it was quite impossible for her to have left any evidence behind.

The doctor hurriedly rushed over and, after checking Lin Shishi, he diagnosed, ”Madam has just fainted due to sudden internal heat within her. It's not a big issue.”

”Alright, I understand.” Tuoba Gucheng lifted his eyelids. ”You can go.”

With the doctor gone, he went to his office and dialled An Xiaoning's number.

The line went through very soon.

At the other end of the line came her calm and indifferent voice, ”What's the matter?”

”You actually sound really composed.”

”Why can't I sound composed?” An Xiaoning asked. ”What exactly is the matter?”

”What happened to my in-laws has something to do with you, right?”

”Why don't you say that every murder in this world has something to do with me? Why would I kill them? Give me a reason.”

Tuoba Gucheng was at a loss for words. After some hesitation, he replied, ”It's only a matter of time, the truth about this matter will come out. Whether it was done by you or not, we shall wait and see.”

”Then I shall wait for the day your people will shove evidence in my face. Before you've gathered evidence, please don't jump to conclusions!”

With her saying these words so confidently and without sounding guilty at all, Tuoba Gucheng was suddenly fed with a false impression. Could it be that it was not done by her, after all?

”I really hope that you didn't do it.”

An Xiaoning smirked and, without saying anything further, she hung up his call.

Tuoba Gucheng, on the other hand, had yet recovered from that smirk of hers. What was that smirk for?

He naturally did not know that An Xiaoning had smirked because she saw how the powerful could do as they wished while the weak were not allowed to do anything.

When Lin Shishi woke up, it was already half an hour later.

The first thing she asked for when she woke up was to return to A City.

Tuoba Gucheng naturally allowed her to do so and even returned together with her.

From the moment she woke up 'til they were in the car, Lin Shishi continued to bawl non-stop. She was almost out of breath from crying, and her voice had even turned hoarse. Nevertheless, she continued to cry and curse.

Initially, Tuoba Gucheng had tried to soothe her emotions. However, after realizing that there was no way to control her outburst of emotions, he decided to simply let her cry everything out and did not intervene.

When she was done crying, they were already more than halfway into their journey.

With reddened eyes, she asked the man beside her, ”Honey, you should be clear about my parents' character. This was definitely done by her. Can you help me kill her? Even if she uses my birth characters to threaten me, and even if I die, it's fine as long as she's dead as well…”

”I already said, everything needs evidence. With evidence, this is easy to settle. But without evidence, how do you expect them to arrest her? Maybe the murderer is really someone else?”

”I don't believe it was done by someone else.” Lin Shishi shook her head. ”When Ifound out that that matter did not go through successfully, I already knew that it was a matter of time for her to find out. I just didn't expect that she would find out so soon. She must have done this out of revenge. I'm sure of it, it's definitely her.”

”Do you think you can just tell the media and public that you're sure An Xiaoning was behind it, and that will do?” Tuoba Gucheng said to her seriously, ”When you'd intended to do what you did at the start, what did I tell you? An Xiaoning isn't someone who's afraid of poison. I told you not to do it, but you insisted on doing so. If this was really done by her, then ask yourself, don't you deserve this outcome?”

”Don't say anything further!” Lin Shishi shrieked, and tears sprung down her face again. ”My parents and brother are already gone and you can still say such words? You're my husband, but why do you always tend to side with her be it intentional or not?”

”I'm not siding with her, I'm just talking about this in an objective manner. Of course, if there's evidence to prove that she did this, there's no way she can run away.”

Lin Shishi choked on her tears. Thinking of her family, she went mad and wished she could slaughter the perpetrator into pieces.

When the plane landed at the airport, they took a car all the way to the Lin residence, where international media reporters were already awaiting them.
