994 Perplexed and Smitten 54 (1/2)
”Young Madam, what do we do with this corpse?”
”Let's find a crystal coffin and store the corpse inside it first. We'll wait for the Mysterious Mr. Xiao to come. After all, he mentioned that he wanted to leave it in the museum. Perhaps he also has other requests.”

Upon arriving in Wei Ni Estate, An Xiaoning instructed Auntie Chen to cook her a bowl of lean pork and century egg porridge.
She then headed upstairs to charge her phone and take a shower. Thinking to herself that she would definitely be seeing Hu Xin when she catches Jin Qingyan home later, she sat in front of the dressing table and began putting on some makeup.
The piping-hot bowl of porridge was already ready and served on the table when she arrived downstairs again.
She waited for it to cool down before digging in leisurely.
By the time she finished eating, Fan Shixin was already waiting for her at the door and had also taken a shower. ”Young Madam, do you want me to tag along?”
”It's alright, you must be exhausted from all that traveling we've done. Take a break and get some rest. I can handle it on my own. Where does Hu Xin live?”
”The bodyguards said that she lives on 14 Nansi Road in Benyang District.”
”Got it.” She walked out of the door and made her way to the garage with her car keys.
Benyang District was a crowded area where most of the average citizens lived. There were also more apartments available for rent there compared to other areas of the city.
An Xiaoning pulled over at Nansi Road and, clad in a surgical mask, alighted from the car with a transparent umbrella. She then began searching for Hu Xin's apartment.
There were very few pedestrians on the streets at this time, perhaps because of the rain.
An Xiaoning began walking in the direction of the dim street lamps while looking for the house number at the same time.
The entire stretch consisted of houses for rent, and there was a number sign on each house.
Soon after, she caught sight of a bodyguard who was standing outside the door with an umbrella in hand.
Upon seeing her, the bodyguard quickly strode toward her and greeted, ”You're here, Young Madam.”
”What are they doing inside?”
”I've been eavesdropping by the door. Ms. Hu made some noodles for Young Sir and they're having dinner together now.”
”Okay, I'll go in to take a look.”
An Xiaoning walked toward the house and handed the umbrella to the bodyguard when she reached the shelter. She then knocked on the door.
”Don't open the door,” said Henry.
An Xiaoning felt a strong urge to beat him up again.
She suppressed her anger and knocked on the door again. However, there were no signs of anyone coming to answer the door.
An Xiaoning could tell that it was a rented house. She remained quiet, fearing that the people inside would stay silent if they heard her.
She gave the bodyguard some instructions while keeping her voice low, after which the bodyguard took the car keys and left with the umbrella.
