The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 1225: I Want to Make You Stay (103)

An Xiaoning finally got discharged after staying in the hospital for five days. Every afternoon, she would personally head to Mount Heyuan to assign Shi Bao’er various difficult missions to accomplish.

The missions got increasingly more difficult, but Shi Bao’er completed them one after another and did not have to stay around those snakes anymore.

At the same time, at 5:08 am every morning, she would receive a mysterious call.

There was no number on the caller display, and no one spoke a word on the other line either.

This made An Xiaoning feel rather strange, as well as somewhat curious and uneasy.

Until Wang Jinsheng suddenly told her that something happened at the tomb that they’d found near the lake.

A curious staff member had secretly entered the tomb alone, never to return again.

They had only discovered this after watching the footage from the surveillance cameras.

No matter how everyone shouted for the staff member from outside, there was no reply, so Wang Jinsheng felt that it possible something had happened.

However, no one entered the tomb to check since they did not know what exactly was the situation like inside.

As such, An Xiaoning drove there personally to take a look.

It was the 15th of August, and the weather was as good as the mid-autumn’s festive mood.

When she reached the lake, as the weather was rather hot, An Xiaoning took off her jacket and got off the car only in a short-sleeved shirt.

She was wearing a cap that completely covered the injury on her head.

She strode in the direction of the sunlight and headed toward the few people from the archeological team.

“Ms. An, you’re here,” Wang Jinsheng said as he walked. “What do we do? We’ve no idea what the situation is like with the staff member inside right now.”

“Come, let’s go and take a look.”

The two arrived at the entrance of the tomb, and An Xiaoning surveyed the surroundings, realizing that the location of the tomb especially attracted dark energy. The surrounding land was obviously higher while the tomb was caved inwards, like a coffin had been placed inside.

“Have you checked whose tomb this belongs to?”

“I’ve tried checking but could not find any leads at all. The tombs here don’t lead to any houses nearby. Moreover, since we haven’t gone in to see, we don’t know if there may be other clues inside. But the situation right now is knotty since we don’t know what will happen if we go in. I just feel like the odds are against us...”

An Xiaoning also did not dare to enter the tomb hastily as well. Moreover, it was the 15th of August today, also the day when the full moon emerged.

“How about this? Let’s all go back and come back the day after tomorrow. Only then will I go in and take a look.”

“The day after tomorrow?”

“Yes. Today’s the 15th of August. Let’s come back on the 17th. The moon will be very round these two days, but it might not be like that on the 17th.”

Wang Jinsheng never really paid attention to such things and could only listen to her opinion. “Alright, then, we’ll come back the day after tomorrow.”

“Take greater notice of the surveillance cameras here these two days. Also, warn your men again not to enter the tomb freely.”

“Of course, of course. I’ve already warned them previously, but that staff member just didn’t listen. You tell me, who is to blame for such an incident?”

“Just put this incident aside first. You should also inform his family to be mentally prepared. I’ll be going back first, you guys should leave too.”

“Okay.”

An Xiaoning returned to her car and drove back.

On the way back, she was still thinking about that tomb.

It had a squarish shape and only had space to allow for one person to enter each time. With such a small opening for the tomb, the one that was buried inside it could not have possibly been someone very old.

With many years’ worth of dark energy gathered around the tomb, intruders who were not well prepared would not be able to fend themselves from the consequences that would unfold.

This was the reason why An Xiaoning took extreme caution.

After she drove her car all the way into Wei Ni Estate and entered the front gate of her house, Xiao Bai came running to the front of her car window and said, “Young Madam, Sir is here. He’s talking to Young Sir inside.”

An Xiaoning got off the car and headed inside the mansion. Before she had even gone into the house, she could hear an intense argument between them from outside.

Usually, when Mr. Jin came over, it was simply to ask him for money.

This time, it was no exception.

When An Xiaoning entered the house, the quarreling ceased instantly, as if all that she had heard earlier was just her imagination.

“Uncle, you’re here.”

Mr. Jin’s face was green with anger, and he murmured a short acknowledgement on the sofa, turning his head to the side.

Henry was about to head upstairs when Mr. Jin turned his face over and called out, “You brat, stop there!”

Henry turned his head around and looked at him coldly. “Haven’t you had enough?”

“I’m your father, you’ve gone way too overboard!”

“‘I’ve gone overboard? What gives you the right to ask me for anything when I was not allowed to have anything that I want?!”

Mr. Jin was taken aback and asked in a puzzled manner, “When did I not let you have anything that you want? Since you were young, you had all the best clothes, food, and things. When have I ever treated you poorly?”

“Racing car.”

Mr. Jin thought he was hearing things. “What?”

“I said, the racing car.”

Mr. Jin did not expect that such an incident that happened so long ago was still fresh in his memory. “How long ago was that? Your results were not satisfactory then, and you were still playful. Father didn’t let you play with your racing car to let you concentrate on your studies.”

“Was that really the reason?”

Mr. Jin’s expression softened a lot as he responded, “I didn’t smash your racing car intentionally back then. I only wanted you to put your time and effort on your studies. After all, Father only has you as my son.”

“I’m not intentionally refusing to give you money now either. I just want you to better control your spending.”

Mr. Jin felt that he was indeed doing it intentionally and replied, “Tell me, how long has it been since I last asked you for money? I’ve handed the company over to you now and just want to ask you for money every now and then. Are you that unwilling to give it to me?”

An Xiaoning tried to smoothen things out by cutting in, “Uncle, I think if you were to apologize to him for smashing his racing car, he would willingly give it to you. He actually just wants you to do that.”

Mr. Jin felt that it was rather unbelievable as he remarked, “Qingyan, it’s really because of that incident? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Father was wrong with what I did back then that left a scar in your heart. Father is sorry about it. If time could rewind, I definitely wouldn’t do that again.”

Henry did not expect that something that was that important to him was so insignificant to his father.

He was probably the only one who would take such a thing to heart.

To any other person, it probably wouldn’t have been a big deal.

Why should he make a big fuss out of it, then?

Henry fished out his wallet and took out a piece of check, then passed it to him after he had filled in an amount.

An Xiaoning took a glance at the amount he had written. It was two million dollars.

Mr. Jin did not say a word further. He simply took the check and left.

“I’ve made a joke out of myself in front of you.”

“Anything that concerns you is never a joke to me.” She went on, “Come upstairs, I have something to say to you.”

He went upstairs after her silently, the two of them entering the bedroom one after another.

An Xiaoning said as she entered the room, “I’ve arranged the girl that had saved you previously to work at the company already, but she can’t possibly stay together with us right?”

“There are so many rooms here, what’s wrong with letting her live here with us? Moreover, she’s still young and innocent. If she were to rent a house outside by herself, it won’t be safe for her. Her parents also instructed me to take care of her.”
