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

”What's the matter… did you gang up together with your daughter-in-law?”

”An Xiaoning, you're already on the brink of death and yet you're still so sharp-tongued. I'm sure the netizens are already actively discussing about you shooting Shishi.”

”My fingerprints aren't on that gun. You dare say that I was the one who fired that bullet?” An Xiaoning said fearlessly.

”You held the gun while wearing gloves. Is that not a reasonable explanation?”

As soon as she finished speaking, An Xiaoning's mobile phone began to ring. It was a call from Jin Qingyan.

Shi Xiaoyu tried to snatch her phone away but failed.

”Hello.”

Jin Qingyan said, ”Hurry and come back. Tuoba Gucheng had an ulterior motive for calling you to the Autumn Palace. He had gone overseas to meet with a foreign political leader. I just found out about this.”

”I can't leave now. Lin Shishi has already shot herself in the leg and they're trying to frame me.”

Upon hearing her words, Jin Qingyan said, ”Their next move is probably to publish a news article. I'll handle that first.”

After ending the call, An Xiaoning glared at Shi Xiaoyu coldly and said, ”Great move, trying to set me up, huh? However, it's my choice to decide if I want to let you manipulate me.”

”You may be very capable, but do you really think you can make it out of the Autumn Palace? I really blame your mother for the fact that you're not a boy. Otherwise, you wouldn't be alive today. Why would I let my son's competitor for the throne survive in this world?” Shi Xiaoyu said with a sinister smile.

An Xiaoning remained silent.

Shi Xiaoyu then said to the guards outside, ”Arrest this treacherous citizen who tried to kill the president's wife!”

The bunch of guards entered, armed with guns. An Xiaoning was thus subdued.

Staring at the men in front of her, An Xiaoning instantly realized that Tuoba Gucheng had plotted this scheme together with his wife and mother.

He had laid a trap for her.

If she dared to retaliate, she would be shot into pieces by the numerous guns pointed at her.

”Bring her to the dungeon and forbid her from drinking or eating.”

An Xiaoning was arrested.

Her wrists were handcuffed and her legs were tied to chains that weighed at least two kilograms.

She remained calm and composed while sitting on the bed in the dungeon.

Those chains were non-issues for her at all, and so was the fact that she was not allowed any food or drink.

She could continue to live properly even without eating, drinking, or relieving nature's call.

They didn't expect that, did they?

I wonder what the netizens are saying about me.

If Tuoba Rui were still the president today, none of this would have happened, right?

An Xiaoning did not feel good about her biological father at all.

However, she seemed to have recognized his good attributes at this crucial juncture.

I'll never get to live a day in peace as long as Tuoba Gucheng is still the president.

A bold and terrifying idea popped up in her head.

However, she quickly dismissed it.

More than half an hour later, she heard footsteps approaching.

She could clearly hear the footsteps stopping at her door.
