1314 I Only Want You 12 (1/2)
”I actually didn't want to tell you. But the main reason was because a brazen idea came to my mind after I saw that mural.”
”What idea?”
”I wanted to use your hair sample to get a DNA test done. I wanted to verify if we were related by blood.”
”Psht.” An Xiaoning had never expected that to be his reason.
”That's why I didn't tell you. I was afraid that you would be repulsed.”
”Why would I be?”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Xiao Lu reported, ”Young Madam, the people from the Donggong family are here. They're right outside the entrance.”
She had long expected that they would come for her, just not so soon.
”Let them in.”
”Alright.”
”Should I… hide?” he asked.
”No, what for? Are you afraid of them?”
”Of course not.”
An Xiaoning waved at the servant and said, ”Make me another cup of coffee.”
”Alright, Young Madam.”
The people who had come forth included Old Mr. Donggong's sons and a few of his grandsons.
They were the members who held a higher status in the Donggong family.

The seven men sat down, and the eldest son of Old Mr. Donggong took the initiative to speak. ”Ms. An, we came here with a purpose this time. One is to offer you our sincere apology and the other is to plead for your mercy. Will you please release our elder?”

However, the men were dumbfounded.
”Ms. An, let's not beat around the bush. We've already found out that he's here.”
”Do you have any evidence?”
They looked at each other, and one of them answered, ”No… but we're very certain that he's here.”
”I'm sorry, but I can only believe you if you have concrete evidence. Talk is cheap. You can't just accuse me casually,” said An Xiaoning.
The second son said, ”Ms. An, name us your condition. We'll agree to your request as long as you release him.”
”Do you need me to repeat myself? I really didn't take your elder away,” she said composedly.
However, they knew that she was just denying it.
They were at a sudden loss for what to do.
Little did they know, An Xiaoning was planning to make them make a wasted trip because she would never let Wu Haigang stay alive.
After a minute of silence, the eldest son said, ”Ms. An… if you're willing to let our elder go, the Donggong family shall be loyal to you from now on. These are the exact words from my father.”
Wu Lianzhi was dumbfounded.
”Why did your father…”
