The living room returned to its initial peace while Auntie Chen and the other servants tidied up the dining table. “Do you feel much better now?” asked Jin Qingyan as he turned to face An Xiaoning.

“Do you feel sorry for her? If you do, it’s not too late to chase and cajole her a little,” An Xiaoning said, firing from the hip.

Jin Qingyan squinted in puzzlement upon hearing her words, realizing all of a sudden that he did not feel upset at all despite watching Chi Rui’er get pranked by An Xiaoning. He would not have realized it if she had not brought it up.

Seeing that he had stayed silent, An Xiaoning said immediately, “What’s wrong? Did I strike a sour note?”

“No. I don’t feel sorry for her at all. They’ve brought the culprit here, let’s go have a look,” he said gently.

“Alright.”

They arrived at the hidden chamber where a young woman was shackled to a chair. An Xiaoning was certain that she had never even seen her before, let alone know her personally.

Clearly, there was a mastermind behind the act, and the woman had only acted upon orders.

“Jin Qingyan! Jin Qingyan!” the woman squealed in exhilaration at the sight of their arrival. Excitement was written all over her face as she swooned and gazed at him like an obsessed fan girl.

“That’s enough, drop the act. Shoot, who instructed you to do it?” An Xiaoning said bluntly, exposing her.

The woman was momentarily dumbstruck and quickly retorted, “No one instructed me, I did it out of my own accord. I’m in love with Jin Qingyan, that’s why I detest you!”

“I don’t have all day to be wasting my time here with you. We’re even providing for your meals and accommodation now. If you still refuse to speak up, I’ll have no choice but to make you do it my way.”

Refusing to speak another word to her, An Xiaoning instructed Fan Shixin, “Chief Fan, bring me those rat carcasses, as well as her message history and call log, along with all the information on her electronic devices.”

“Yes, Young Madam.”

“What are you planning to do?” the woman asked in fear.

“You’ll find out soon enough. Didn’t I say I have my own ways to make you speak up and reveal who had instructed you to do it?” said An Xiaoning, who was seated opposite her with one leg crossed over the other. She stared at the woman, cool and collected.

Jin Qingyan had remained silent throughout, allowing his wife to do the talking.

Time crawled by bit by bit. The conversation between An Xiaoning and the woman remained rather peaceful, except for the latter’s occasional squeal whenever she saw Jin Qingyan.

There was no way she could deceive An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan with such poor acting skills.

Several minutes later, Fan Shixin returned to the chamber with the rat carcasses. “Young Madam, we’ve sent the text messages for investigation, the results will be out soon.”

“Mhm, leave the dead rats here first. We’ve got plenty of time,” said An Xiaoning

The woman’s imagination began to run wild as she stared at the bunch of rat carcasses before her, not knowing what An Xiaoning planned to do to her.

With each passing minute, she began to feel increasingly anxious and insecure. However, what she had dreaded most still happened, alas.

“Although she has deleted all the messages from her laptop and mobile phone, we’ve successfully managed to recover all of them. Have a look, Young Madam. I’ve transferred those from her mobile phone onto here, too,” said Xiaohuang as he handed a laptop to An Xiaoning.
