Jin Qingyan decided to comply with her wishes and said to Xiao Bai, “Do as your Young Madam said. Get Shixin to prepare a coffin of superior quality.”

“Yes, Young Sir.”

Xiao Bai swiftly did as instructed and called Fan Shixin.

Just like they had guessed, the hole of the pipe was coated with lethal poison, beneath which there were signs of sinking.

It was more than obvious.

The mastermind was extremely scheming and vicious to have thought of poisoning them using such a cunning method that they couldn’t have defended against.

One would die within a short amount of time once they ingest the water from the well.

Jin Qingyan ordered for a hole to be dug deeper into the well, until it reached a depth of about five meters. They then verified that there was a similar pipe near the hole, after which they continued digging around the hole.

At this moment, An Xiaoning asked Bei Qi, “Do you know what kind of poison this is?”

“I’m not quite sure yet at the moment. Let me look into it and do my research for a night. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning.”

An Xiaoning expressed assent and said, “It’s going to be hard on you.”

Bei Qi returned to Wei Ni Estate and began studying the poison while the cranes continued to dig. The management committee and security officers of the estate soon began to intervene.

However, An Xiaoning managed to shut the security officers up by bribing them with some money, after which she was allowed to dig wherever she wanted.

The pipe ended at a certain spot where they discovered an underground passage.

It was extremely narrow.

An Xiaoning instructed the bodyguards to enter the passageway while she and Jin Qingyan walked along the direction of the passageway above ground.

The passageway was rather long and had several bends here and there. The exit led to a bridge near the estate.

She looked at Jin Qingyan and said, “It was such meticulous work. It takes more than ordinary skills to build such a passageway.”

“The mastermind must be well aware of where the water pump room is, to construct such a passageway.”

“That’s right. The water sources and supply in this estate are all controlled by the developer and management, apart from those in the apartments in the high buildings. Every well of each mansion is of different height and positions. Although there was already a well when I bought the mansion, the average person probably wouldn’t be aware of where it is exactly in my house. Well, unless he or she inquires about it from the developer or the construction workers involved in building the mansion, or the architect or other workers.”

She said, “I think I know where to start investigating from.”

Upon returning to the estate, Jin Qingyan ordered the bodyguards to flatten the soil above the secret passageway.

Since An Xiaoning did not eat much for dinner, Jin Qingyan instructed Auntie Chen to prepare her favorite dishes, which Xiao Bai then delivered to them.

An Xiaoning had no appetite at all despite staring at the delicious food in front of her.

Jin Qingyan handed her a pair of chopsticks and said, “How can you go without food? Have a little something to eat. Although you said that you could survive without food, you’re still human and it’s better to eat something.”

She decided to listen to his advice and began eating slowly.

Due to the fact that she had downed some soap water to induce vomit earlier, her stomach felt rather upset when the food entered her stomach.

She was eating at an exceptionally slow pace and was taking one small bite at a time, a stark contrast from her usual practice. It was not like her to be so demure at all.

After dinner, An Xiaoning stared at the seven corpses on the floor. Unable to contain her grief, she teared up and said, “When I first bought them, they were all so sickly and their health was in bad condition. No. 1 had contracted tuberculosis but managed to recover after treatment. No. 2 had an old ailment in his leg that would ache whenever the weather was cold. He had never gone to get it treated at the hospital before. No. 3 had gastric issues while No. 4 almost died during a mission in the past and hence his legs have become weak. No. 12 was born with heart disease while No. 13 also had issues with one of his legs, which had been crushed for twelve hours during a surgery. As a result, he can’t walk fast. As for No. 14, he had asthma... They’ve been put through a great amount of suffering ever since they were young and they’re all orphans. They were all trained to kill...”

An Xiaoning recalled the times they had together, especially that particular day when they were basking together under the sun in the backyard. She recalled the broad smiles on their faces as they chatted merrily. An Xiaoning could not go on and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. “I was the one who implicated them. If it weren’t for me, they probably wouldn’t be dead now.”

“Don’t say that...” Jin Qingyan hugged her from behind and tucked his chin into her neck before continuing, “Everything happens for a reason. What you can do now is to let them rest in peace, and avenge them...”

“Yes, regardless of who the mastermind is, I’ll definitely kill him or her myself. Apart from Shi Xiaoyu, this person is the one I detest the most. I’m going to make Shi Xiaoyu pay with her life for everything that she had done to my mother!”

“Didn’t you make a verbal agreement with Tuoba Gucheng previously? He said that he wouldn’t watch you kill his mother, nor would he let Shi Xiaoyu lay a finger on you and your mother. Seems like the agreement has long been called off.”

“That’s right. It was ineffective the moment he tried to kill me. Not to mention, he even tried to deal with me using that ban. Tolerating them will only give them the chance to continue harming me and my family.” She chuckled mirthlessly and added, “Birds of the same feather really do flock together.”

Jin Qingyan picked her up in his arms and carried her up the stairs. “Let’s leave everything to tomorrow. Get a good sleep tonight.”

An Xiaoning was carried into the bedroom. She lay in his embrace and soon fell asleep.

It had been a long while since she last dreamed of her previous lifetime.

She could not remember exactly how many days it had been.

Although she wanted to know everything about her previous lifetime, she did not wish to dream about it.

She was afraid that the dream would go on for longer than she intended.

She did not want to stay asleep for several consecutive days.

However, her body refused to listen to her mind, or perhaps her soul was subconsciously awakening her memory of her previous lifetime. Hence, she would dream of her previous lifetime once in a while.

Just as she was about to open her tightly-shut eyes, An Xiaoning felt herself being hit by a rod and screeched in pain. Don’t tell me I’m going to be tortured again? she thought to herself.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was greeted with the sight of a woman holding a rod.

The woman appeared to be in her forties and had her hair pulled back into a low bun. She was dressed in purple from head to toe and was glowering at An Xiaoning. “Wretched lass, who allowed you to sleep?”

An Xiaoning stood up slowly and placed a hand on the spot where she was hit. She was initially already in a horrible mood. To make matters worse, she even suffered a beating in her dream.

“Wretched old hag, so what if I fell asleep?”

Granny Sun did not expect her to say that. Seething with exasperation, she hollered, “You’re really asking for it eh!”

She then attempted to swing the rod at An Xiaoning again. However, the latter managed to dodge and kicked her in her face.

“Oh goodness!”

Granny Sun fell onto the ground immediately and winced in immense pain.

An Xiaoning turned around to leave, completely dauntless. How dare she bully me in my dream!

I won’t succumb as long as I can retaliate!

It would be fine if she could not feel the pain; however, she could feel every inch of it!
