1031 Perplexed and Smitten 91 (1/2)

\”Pei Yi is very tight-lipped and I couldn't get anything out of him. However, he asked me about where I had seen those people in the sketches. I have a hunch that those two people do exist in this lifetime, and Pei Yi knows them as well.\”

Jin Qingyan gazed at her calmly and said, \”You're not allowed to go out without any bodyguards from now on, especially since it's a critical period right now.\”

\”Alright, but there's something I'd like to tell you about.\”

He placed the sketches back inside the drawer and sat down on the bed. \”What's the matter?\” he asked.

\”I dropped by the Special Investigation Unit for a while when I was at the police station to obtain the simulated sketches today. Ma Jianguo told me…\” She explained the entire situation to him while observing his expression.

\”So, you're planning to intervene with this matter? Although you're already busy enough as it is, I'll support your decision if you'd like to get involved.\”

\”I thought you'd chide me for being nosy.\”

\”That'll depend on the severity of the matter. We can't sit back and do nothing when it comes to such vicious acts of murder. I only demand one thing of you, and that is that you just protect yourself well and keep yourself free from injury.\”

\”Alright,\” she agreed, giving him a kiss.

They held each other's gazes and chuckled.

The following day, An Xiaoning instructed No. 8 and No. 5 to wait for her on a certain road.

After getting their driving license, they'd been idling about at home with nothing to do at all. They were simply waiting to be given tasks.

They were finally summoned.

An Xiaoning put on her human skin mask and exited Wei Ni Estate via the secret passageway in the wine cellar.

She hailed a taxi to the place where they were waiting for her.

\”Hop on,\” she said to them.

Upon hearing her voice, No. 8 and No. 5 quickly got inside the car.

\”Sis, where are we going?\” No. 8 asked upon seeing that she had the mask on.

\”You'll know when we get there.\”

The taxi began speeding toward Mount Heyuan and arrived at the bridge in less than half an hour.

An Xiaoning paid the taxi driver a hundred dollars, and the three of them alighted from the taxi together.

It was eight o'clock in the morning when the weather was not too warm yet. However, there were already quite a few people.

An Xiaoning repeated the situation to them softly, after which they were instantly dumbfounded.

\”Really? That's so immoral and wicked,\” No. 5 remarked in disbelief.

\”Sis, are you here to find out everything?\”

\”Of course. I don't have time to waste on this. So, we must get it settled as soon as possible. Look at how many people there are. It's summertime and there are so many visitors here for some fun. It's a good opportunity for the wicked bunch to take action.\”

The three of them entered the tourist attraction and planned to approach the fishers in a motorboat.

Since there was space for only one passenger in the motorboat, they had to rent a total of three motorboats.

\”Sir, how much does it cost to get there from here?\”

\”One hundred dollars.\”

\”Can the three of us get there together?\”

\”No problem,\” the man, who was in his thirties, agreed without much hesitation.

An Xiaoning nodded, and the three of them boarded the motorboats. They initially thought that it would be a quick ride since the distance was rather short, yet all three motorboats came to a halt halfway through the journey.

The three boats lined up closely beside each other in a row.

\”I'm telling you beforehand, you'll have to pay me a total of three thousand dollars when we get there.\”
