922 A Million Times for You 284 (1/2)

Commander-in-chief Jin and Madam Jin stopped discussing the matter upon their son and daughter-in-law's return.

Tuoba Danxue asked, ”Mother, do you think that what Sister-in-law said today was true?”

”I can't be sure about that. It may or may not be real,” said Madam Jin.

”I find that it's too absurd to be true. An Xiaoning may be very skilled in martial arts, but surely she's not invincible, is she? I do think it's possible if she uses her witchcraft, though.”

Madam Jin did not agree with her and instead asked, ”Has there been any progress in the investigation?”

”None at all.”

”We shall wait and see what the outcome is,” said Commander-in-chief Jin, who had learned a lesson from this incident.

Jin Minxing said, ”The netizens are also very concerned about the matter. To be exact, they're curious and eager to find out who had such audacity to kill the Lin family.”

—

Days after the news of the Lin family murders were first exposed, the media dared not report much about the details for the next consecutive days and all articles and information had to be screened before the media companies were allowed to publish them.

There were still no leads or progress in the investigation days after the incident.

After much investigation, there were no new breakthroughs. The three members of the Lin family had already been buried.

At this moment, Tuoba Gucheng gave An Xiaoning a call and asked to meet her, claiming that there were new leads in the investigation.

An Xiaoning headed to the Autumn Palace in B City.

Tuoba Gucheng was still on his flight back to B City when she arrived.

Lin Shishi instructed the servants to bring An Xiaoning to her room.

An Xiaoning had a slender and svelte figure, which was further accentuated by the white lace dress she was wearing. She had also applied some exquisite makeup on her face. The heavily-pregnant Lin Shishi was a far cry from An Xiaoning, for she was now chubby and appeared extremely haggard, especially with her heavy eyebags and eyes that were swollen from excessive crying.

An Xiaoning sat down on the couch and asked, ”Madam, what did you call me into your room for?”

”There are no outsiders here. Drop the pretense.”

”What am I pretending about? Make yourself clear,” An Xiaoning said, smiling.

”You were the one who killed my parents and brother! You don't even dare to own up!”

”Madam, you're the wife of S Nation's president, after all. It's not very appropriate for you to be accusing me without proper evidence. I came here today because His Majesty asked me to. I didn't come to see you. If there's nothing else, I'll go outside to wait.”

Right after she stood up, Lin Shishi yelled, ”Hold it right there!”

An Xiaoning stopped moving and asked, ”Madam, what else do you have to say?”

Lin Shishi stood up slowly and whipped out a gun. She pointed it at An Xiaoning and said, ”I'm going to kill you with my bare hands and take revenge for my family.”

An Xiaoning panicked and hurriedly removed her crystal hair clip from her head. Just as Lin Shishi was about to pull the trigger, a needle darted out of An Xiaoning's hand and hit Lin Shishi's hand, causing her to drop her gun immediately.

Completely flustered and caught off guard, Lin Shishi frantically bent down in a bid to pick up her gun. It was too late for An Xiaoning to duck now. She had no choice but to step forward and hold Lin Shishi down while snatching the gun away. Yet, to her astonishment, Lin Shishi ruthlessly fired a shot at her own leg.

”Ah!” Lin Shishi shrieked in terror.

An Xiaoning let go and sneered, ”Why don't you shoot yourself in your stomach?”

Just as she was about to leave, the guards, who had already been arranged to stand outside the door, barged inside and hindered An Xiaoning from leaving.

Lin Shishi was hurriedly sent to the doctor's.

Meanwhile, An Xiaoning was held captive in Lin Shishi's bedroom.

Not long after, Shi Xiaoyu arrived.

She looked at An Xiaoning with a sly smile and said, ”You're finally caught. Attempting to murder the president's wife will warrant a death sentence. No one can save you now, not even Heaven!”
