“Obviously not here to see you,” said An Xiaoning as she shot Ma Jianguo a glance.

“We’re from the Special Crime Investigation Unit. Shi Shaochuan, I suggest you bring us to see your grandmother. You may be present to hear what we have to say, since you’re the culprit after all. Bring us in,” Ma Jianguo instructed.

“Alright, come with me,” said a puzzled Shi Shaochuan who, nonetheless, brought them to old Mrs. Shi’s bedroom.

Upon sight of An Xiaoning, old Mrs. Shi proceeded with the formalities out of basic courtesy, despite having detested her.

“What brought you here, Young Madam of the Jin family?” said the old Mrs. Shi as she sat up straight while Shi Shaochuan adjusted her pillow.

“I’m here clearly because of the atrocious misdeeds your family has committed. I won’t beat around the bush, old Mrs. Shi. There’s an extraordinary reason for the sudden death of your son and daughter-in-law.” She took a glance at Shi Shaochuan and continued, “I really wonder if the late old Mr. Shi will forgive you for causing your family such a disaster in order to save the only heir you have left.”

“What do you mean?” asked old Mrs. Shi as her face stiffened.

“Old Mrs. Shi, truth be told, we’ve just returned from Wang Fangfang’s grave, and it was a hair-raising experience. I know you’re doubtful, just like we were at first, but her spirit had caused the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Shi. We hurriedly made our way here, right after witnessing it with our own eyes. She even warned that she would never forgive anyone involved in the bribery to cover up for Shi Shaochuan. Hence, your grandson has caused all of these mishaps faced by your family members. We’re afraid you’ll be her next target. By the way, Xiaoning is our newly recruited investigative assistant. If it weren’t for her, we’d probably never find out the causes of many other deaths,” Pan Zhenghui explained.

Old Mrs. Shi quickly sat up straight, upon hearing the shocking piece of news.

An Xiaoning held an amulet in her hand and began chanting in her head. “Hold this. She won’t be able to do any harm to you, as long as you hold on to it,” An Xiaoning explained, handing her the amulet.

Old Mrs. Shi looked up and asked her while taking the amulet, “Does it really help?”

“Yes.”

“Could you give one to Shaochuan too?”

“Do you think I’m running a charity? Just be thankful that I gave you one. To be honest, I was reluctant to make my way here, and I hope this will be the last time I ever step foot into your house. Shi Shaochuan, you’re the one who caused your parents’ death,” An Xiaoning said calmly, retaining her composure.

“Their deaths were an accident. I’m not going to believe your twisted ideologies. What’s this nonsense about? A mere piece of paper is capable of keeping you safe from harm? Utter bullshit!” Shi Shaochuan sneered as he snatched the amulet away from old Mrs. Shi’s hand.

He then tore it into shreds.

“Let’s just stay out of their business, it’s up to them if they’d like to stay alive or not. Just why do such horrid people even exist? We should’ve just closed Shi Shaochuan’s case right from the start and sentenced him to death. He wouldn’t be so haughty and arrogant then,” Ma Jianguo said distastefully.

“Get lost from my house now, you’re not welcome here! Especially you, An Xiaoning!” Shi Shaochuan barked haughtily, not appreciating their help at all.

“The sight of you absolutely gets on my nerves, hurry and get lost,” he hissed, pointing a finger at An Xiaoning.

Suppressing her anger, An Xiaoning glared at him and said coldly, “It doesn’t matter if you die, but don’t get the rest of your family killed as well.”
