1320 I Only Want You 18 (2/2)
Fan Shixin was the emcee for the evening. After he made the opening speech, it was time for Jin Qingyan to make his wish and cut the cake.
Jin Qingyan walked toward the cake, and they began singing the birthday song while he held his hands together and closed his eyes. Soon, he blew out the candles on the cake.
Everyone began applauding.
Jin Qingyan said, ”I just made a wish. Do you guys want to know what it is?”
All eyes were on him. They held their breaths and waited to hear his revelation.
”My wish is…” He paused and stared at An Xiaoning affectionately before completing the rest of his sentence. ”Is to marry Xiaoning and make her my wife again as soon as possible.”
”Hooray!” Long Tianze cheered while clapping his hands excitedly.
Everyone followed suit.
An Xiaoning was the only one who remained silent. She looked at Jin Qingyan with a smile on her face.
During the cake-cutting ceremony, An Xiaoning cut the cake together with him and everyone began singing and dancing merrily.
The children were the happiest of them all. They even sneaked some alcohol into the room and gathered together to have some drinks.
In the end, they all got tipsy and dozed off.
——
It had never crossed An Xiaoning's mind that Wang Jinsheng would show up at their doorstep.
An Xiaoning agreed to let him in reluctantly.
”Ms. An…”
”If you're here today with the purpose of begging me to put in a good word for you, you may save your breath. There's no point.”
”Ms. An, when… did you find out?” asked Wang Jinsheng, who did not expect to hear that she had already learned about it.
Smiling, An Xiaoning said, ”It was on the news this morning. However, I found out about it way beforehand. Weren't you the one who informed He Yi that I was the one who put a bomb in that tomb? Weren't you the one who was in close contact with He Yi? You're an archeologist, and yet you're still so closely acquainted with tomb raiders. I really wonder what you're thinking. On top of that… you even committed all those crimes. I reckon the police must be on their way to arrest you now.”
Wang Jinsheng had already broken out into a cold sweat. He pleaded, ”Ms. An, please help me, I'm begging you. I promise I won't do it again.”
”Captain Wang, did you not hear me clearly? You ought to bear the consequences for your own mistakes.”
Fan Shixin said, ”Young Madam, the criminal police are here to arrest Captain Wang.”
”He's here.”
Fan Shixin gestured for the policemen to enter.
They entered and arrested Wang Jinsheng. An Xiaoning sighed and said, ”Shixin, I really have no idea what this Captain Wang was thinking.”
”Beats me. I reckon he must have come to try his luck because he doesn't know that you had already found out long ago.”
”Maybe. No one can help him if he wants to shoot himself in the foot.”
....
After lunch, An Xiaoning received a call from Pan Zhenghui, who asked her to make a trip down to the police station for a discussion.
An Xiaoning agreed.
Pan Zhenghui wanted to talk to her about the matter regarding Wang Jinsheng and He Yi, as well as the next case he would be handing over to her.
Shaking his head, Pan Zhenghui said, ”It's such a shame. He had been an archeologist for so many years, and he was even the captain of the archeological team. How could he commit those mistakes? Not only did he lose his job, he even has to be put behind bars. As for He Yi, I found out that he's a real piece of work. The Y Nation police are trying to hunt him down right now and they're asking for our assistance.”
