1062 Perplexed and Smitten 122 (1/2)
\”Where would you like to interrogate him, then? Name me a place.\”
\”Take him to my car and I'll bring him to my desired place.\”
\”Got it.\”
Qian Mou was handcuffed tightly and brought into the backseat of An Xiaoning's car. She then drove back to Wei Ni Estate, along with two other constables.
Once they arrived, An Xiaoning instructed Xiao Bai to drive the two constables back to the police station while her other bodyguards dragged Qian Mou out of the car.
The sun was shining brightly in A City.
An Xiaoning spent the entire morning traveling from A City to the raining D City and back to A City where the sun was blazing.
A mere six or seven hours had passed since she first heard about No. 8 going missing. Yet, she was completely exhausted and felt as if she had just completed a marathon that lasted for hours.
\”Young Madam, what do we do with him?\”
\”Xiao Huang, prepare a huge pot of boiling water and hang him.\”
\”Yes, Young Madam.\”
Upon hearing her command, Qian Mou immediately hollered, \”What right do you have to do this to me? You vicious woman!\”
\”You harmed my bodyguard and yet you still have the cheek to be so haughty. Qian Mou, you'd better enjoy yourself. I shall see how much of a backbone you've got!\”
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the living room.
Upon the sight of her, Auntie Chen immediately asked, \”Young Madam, have you had lunch yet?\”
\”Not yet. Auntie Chen, please make me a bowl of noodles. Hurry up, I still have things to attend to later.\”
\”Alright, it'll be ready in no time.\” Auntie Chen hurriedly rushed toward the kitchen.
Recalling her promise to have lunch at Sanqiao Estate, she quickly gave Shi Qingzhou a call.
\”Mother, I'm at Wei Ni Estate right now. I can't have lunch at your place today.\”
\”It's alright, it doesn't matter. Don't worry, I know you're busy.\”
\”Okay, I'll go back to accompany you for a meal once I'm done settling this.\”
\”Sure. How are things going?\”
\”I still don't know who the mastermind is, the situation is tricky… but regardless of who it may be, I won't let him or her off,\” said An Xiaoning, sounding a little disappointed.
\”Xiaoning, I understand how much your bodyguards mean to you, but you must be mindful of your health. You have to manage Qingyan's company and search for No. 8. You mustn't overexert yourself.\”
\”Got it, Mother.\”
After ending the call, she leaned against the couch and pondered over No. 8's incident.
If something really happened to No. 8, I would have to tell Mo Li sooner or later. Will she able to handle the news?
It's still only the beginning of her new relationship…
An Xiaoning dared not imagine what might happen; neither did she want to think about something that had yet to be finalized.
After lunch, Xiao Huang informed her that all the necessary preparations had been made.
An Xiaoning followed him to the basement.
Xu Youran was once held captive in that room.
An Xiaoning stared at the man who was suspended in the air while a pot of steaming hot water was about five meters away from him.
The thick fumes of steam caused him to close his eyes involuntarily.
\”So? How does this feel, Qian Mou?\”
