An Xiaoning’s vision began to get blurry as she stood by the window and stared at the pair of floral embroidered shoes on the window ledge.
Tears welled up in her eyes within just seconds.
It was as short as the time Hua Jin took to jump off the balcony.
She did not seem to have hesitated at all.
The moment her feet were off the ledge, her body plunged downward immediately.
An Xiaoning craned her neck to take a look at Hua Jin, who was suspended in mid-air. Her hair accessories had all fallen off her head, causing her long, black hair to sway and dance in the breeze. She seemed to have painted a beautiful painting in the air.
She finally thumped onto the ground and shattered into bits.
An Xiaoning wiped her tears away and stared blankly at the ground. Due to the fact that the balcony was about eight or nine floors above the ground, she could not get a crystal-clear view of the scene below. However, she could still manage to see Xihou Jiaping walking toward the motionless corpse.
An Xiaoning opened her eyes again to find that they were hurting. She got out of bed to go to the bathroom, where she looked into the mirror. The sheer redness of her eyes gave her a huge shock.
Recalling the scenes that took place in her dream, she turned on the faucet and quickly washed her face with a heavy heart.
She recalled the words that Hua Jin had said in her dream.
“You once said that unless you’re dead, you won’t leave your people in the lurch, be it your bodyguard, your servant, or your woman... if you’re no longer around, what’s the point of me living...”
She zoomed out of the washroom to grab some of her necessary belongings, placed them into her backpack, and rushed downstairs.
Noticing that she seemed to be in a rush, Fan Shixin said, “Young Madam, it’s not 1:30 yet.”
“Get the jet ready, I must fly to Y Nation immediately.”
“Okay.”
Fan Shixin had no idea why she was acting out of the ordinary all of a sudden. He immediately contacted the pilot and drove the car over to the mansion. An Xiaoning got inside the car and made her way to the airport that was merely a stone’s throw away.
“Young Madam, why are your eyes so red?”
“I’m alright.”
“Young Madam, weren’t you planning to wait for Princess Nicole...”
“I’m afraid that she’ll really kill No. 8 in a moment of pique. We can’t afford to take that risk. Nothing will matter anymore if he’s dead. When that happens, what’s the point of doing anything to Nicole? There would be no way to bring him back to life.”
“Young Madam, I’m really touched by how much you value your bodyguards.”
An Xiaoning looked at him and said, “If you were the one who got abducted to Y Nation, I believe Qingyan would do the same to save you.”
“Young Madam, are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m very certain.”
He smiled and asked, “How many bodyguards are you taking with you?”
“None, I’m going alone.”
“Young Madam, I don’t feel safe letting you go alone.”
“It’ll be fine, I have this. The more I use it, the more l love it,” she said, showing him the human skin mask.
“I almost forgot. That’s one of your mighty treasures.”
“Yes, I’ll use it whenever necessary.”
Within minutes, the car arrived at the airport. There was already a jet waiting for her, its doors open.
An Xiaoning alighted from the car with her backpack and walked up the stairs to make her way inside the cabin.
Shortly after she boarded the plane, it began to take off.
An Xiaoning sat by the window and stared at the ground, which became farther and farther away as the plane ascended. Regardless of what may happen in Y Nation, will I regret my decision?
Her inner voice continuously told her that she would never regret it.
Meanwhile, it was already late at night in Y Nation.
The sky was pitch dark, and the street lamps were glowing along the streets where humans were scarce.
She arrived at a territory where the royal family resided. She checked the address that Fan Shixin had sent to her mobile phone and verified that she was in the right place.
To her knowledge, Nicole had quite a few bodyguards, despite being a member of Byron’s extended family.
However, she probably did not have too many of them either.
After all, she was just an extended family member.
An Xiaoning entered Nicole’s castle.
She successfully managed to escape the infrared beams and then dodged the surveillance cameras.
After scrutinizing her surroundings carefully, An Xiaoning hid behind a tree that was near the entrance of the castle and caught sight of the two bodyguards who were standing by the door.
An idea came to her mind, and she took out two blank sheets of yellow-colored paper from her bag and swiftly chanted a spell. In no time, the two pieces of paper in her hand drifted toward the bodyguards.
“Quick, take a look at what that is.”
“That’s...”
The bodyguards watched as the pieces of paper drifted toward them slowly. Instead of running away, they tried to grasp the paper with their hands. However, the more they tried to do so, the higher the paper soared before plunging again. Feeling intrigued, they began chasing the pieces of paper in a bid to grab them. As a result, they slowly began moving farther and farther away from the door.
An Xiaoning took the chance to cut the wires on the wall and sped into the castle with her night vision goggles on.
She speculated that Nicole’s bedroom would be upstairs.
Hence, it was necessary to go upstairs.
As soon as she did, someone exited from one of the doors with a torchlight. An Xiaoning stood in a corner and took a look, only to discover that it was a woman who appeared to be in her twenties. The woman was rushing downstairs.
From the way she was dressed, she did not seem to be Nicole.
An Xiaoning walked toward the room that the woman had exited and looked inside to see that it was rather simply built, although the decor was lavish.
She could tell that it was a servant’s room.
Only servants who were on good terms with their masters would get to live in the same house as them.
Although An Xiaoning dared not make any assumptions or jump to conclusions, she was rather certain that her guess was correct.
Hence, she quickly entered the room instead of hiding.
Soon, the woman returned. As soon as she closed the door, An Xiaoning put a gun to her head.
“I’ll kill you immediately if you dare make a single sound.”
Paralyzed by fear, the woman turned to look at An Xiaoning and spluttered in a quivering voice, “I... I... won’t... make a single sound... please don’t kill me.”
“Come here.” An Xiaoning walked toward the bed and said, “Sit down.”
The woman sat down as instructed, not daring to move an inch.
“Which room does Nicole live in?”
“She lives on the third floor.”
“How dare you lie to me?” An Xiaoning said subconsciously.
“She really lives on the third floor, I wouldn’t dare to lie to you.”
“If I find out that she doesn’t, I’ll come back and kill you.”
The woman frantically said, “Her Highness is not home. She went out to attend a cocktail party and isn’t home at the moment.”
“Where is that man whom she had abducted from S Nation?”
“I don’t know.”
“You’re by her side all the time, how could you not know?” An Xiaoning let out a sinister laughter and warned, “Must I shoot you to make you tell me the answer?”
“Her Highness is a very paranoid and vigilant person. I may be her maid who’s at her beck and call but she doesn’t trust me completely. She only ever brings the bodyguards out with her. No one else is allowed to tag along. Besides, she won’t tell me the things that she doesn’t want me to know. I’m telling you the truth. I don’t want to die, please don’t kill me. I really have no idea where that man is locked up in.”
“What’s the password to her room?”
The ordinary rooms were usually not locked with biometric lock systems and instead were locked password-encrypted ones. Princesses like her who needed to be served would definitely not open the door every single time the servants deliver something to her.
