The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

They only knew that the following day, Chief of Staff Lin's bedroom door did not open no matter how his subordinate knocked on the door.

No matter how he called out for him, there was no answer.

His subordinate felt something was amiss and told the butler. Thereafter, the butler brought someone to forcefully break the door open.

What was truly surprising was that there was no one in the room.

The butler felt that something was amiss instantly. "This isn't right. I woke up early in the morning and didn't see them go out."

"Exactly. The door was locked as well."

His eyes suddenly landed on the gap in the wardrobe and he went forward to open it.

The moment the door of the wardrobe was flung open, the subordinate instantly retreated and his face turned as pale as a sheet. The people behind him behaved in a similar manner.

"Chief of Staff!"

"Madam!"

The scene before them was of the couple hung dead inside their wardrobe.

It was evidently not an act of suicide.

The butler immediately called the police and went to Lin Junnan's room to find him.

What he truly did not expect was for Lin Junnan to have died inside his wardrobe in the exact same way.

Just overnight, the family of three had died like this silently.

How could this not be terrifying?

Police officers from the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit arrived very soon and investigated the crime scene.

At around seven in the morning, this news blew up on various media platforms.

What kind of family is the Lins?

What kind of person is Lin Shishi?

Who would dare to lay a finger on the Lin family?

The ironic thing about this was that someone had indeed dared to lay a finger on Lin Shishi's parents and brother.

When Lin Shishi got hold of this news, she was eating breakfast. Upon hearing someone report the news to her, she thought she was hearing things.

"You… what did you say?" Her face turned ghastly and tears sprung down uncontrollably.

"Madam, your parents and brother passed away yesterday. The police are still investigating."

She sprung up abruptly and, due to the sudden force she exerted, she felt a sharp pain in her seven-month pregnant belly. The servant nearby immediately held onto her.

But Lin Shishi shook the servant's hand away and screamed hysterically, "I don't believe this, this isn't real… it isn't real!"

Hearing her voice the moment he entered, Tuoba Gucheng remarked with his expression equally ghastly, "It's real."

Lin Shishi instantly burst into loud wails. "Honey, it must be her. It's her, she did this to our family!"

Tuoba Gucheng replied, "They're still investigating this. There's no evidence to prove she did it yet. Let's wait for the results of the police's investigation."

"Besides her, who else could it be?" Lin Shishi's heart was trembling furiously. "Other than her, there's no one else it could be. I want to kill her, I want to go and kill her! Ah!!!!"

Everything went pitch black before Lin Shishi as she passed out. Tuoba Gucheng immediately supported her back, preventing her from collapsing onto the floor.

"Quick, get the doctor here."

"Yes."

Tuoba Gucheng carried her back to the bed in the room, his heart sinking.

He was extremely clear regarding the whole process of how it had happened.

Even though he knew there was a high chance that she had done it, without any evidence, there was no way he could make accusations so hastily.

The Lin family was his in-laws and, given that a few family members were killed in this case, it became a widely-discussed topic in the news. He had to investigate this matter properly to give the people, as well as Lin Shishi, an answer.

Things became really tricky for him.

If An Xiaoning was the one behind it, Tuoba Gucheng felt that she would have definitely had everything well planned out, and it was quite impossible for her to have left any evidence behind.

The doctor hurriedly rushed over and, after checking Lin Shishi, he diagnosed, "Madam has just fainted due to sudden internal heat within her. It's not a big issue."

"Alright, I understand." Tuoba Gucheng lifted his eyelids. "You can go."

With the doctor gone, he went to his office and dialled An Xiaoning's number.

The line went through very soon.

At the other end of the line came her calm and indifferent voice, "What's the matter?"

"You actually sound really composed."

"Why can't I sound composed?" An Xiaoning asked. "What exactly is the matter?"

"What happened to my in-laws has something to do with you, right?"

"Why don't you say that every murder in this world has something to do with me? Why would I kill them? Give me a reason."

Tuoba Gucheng was at a loss for words. After some hesitation, he replied, "It's only a matter of time, the truth about this matter will come out. Whether it was done by you or not, we shall wait and see."

"Then I shall wait for the day your people will shove evidence in my face. Before you've gathered evidence, please don't jump to conclusions!"

With her saying these words so confidently and without sounding guilty at all, Tuoba Gucheng was suddenly fed with a false impression. Could it be that it was not done by her, after all?

"I really hope that you didn't do it."

An Xiaoning smirked and, without saying anything further, she hung up his call.

Tuoba Gucheng, on the other hand, had yet recovered from that smirk of hers. What was that smirk for?

He naturally did not know that An Xiaoning had smirked because she saw how the powerful could do as they wished while the weak were not allowed to do anything.

When Lin Shishi woke up, it was already half an hour later.

The first thing she asked for when she woke up was to return to A City.

Tuoba Gucheng naturally allowed her to do so and even returned together with her.

From the moment she woke up 'til they were in the car, Lin Shishi continued to bawl non-stop. She was almost out of breath from crying, and her voice had even turned hoarse. Nevertheless, she continued to cry and curse.

Initially, Tuoba Gucheng had tried to soothe her emotions. However, after realizing that there was no way to control her outburst of emotions, he decided to simply let her cry everything out and did not intervene.

When she was done crying, they were already more than halfway into their journey.

With reddened eyes, she asked the man beside her, "Honey, you should be clear about my parents' character. This was definitely done by her. Can you help me kill her? Even if she uses my birth characters to threaten me, and even if I die, it's fine as long as she's dead as well…"

"I already said, everything needs evidence. With evidence, this is easy to settle. But without evidence, how do you expect them to arrest her? Maybe the murderer is really someone else?"

"I don't believe it was done by someone else." Lin Shishi shook her head. "When Ifound out that that matter did not go through successfully, I already knew that it was a matter of time for her to find out. I just didn't expect that she would find out so soon. She must have done this out of revenge. I'm sure of it, it's definitely her."

"Do you think you can just tell the media and public that you're sure An Xiaoning was behind it, and that will do?" Tuoba Gucheng said to her seriously, "When you'd intended to do what you did at the start, what did I tell you? An Xiaoning isn't someone who's afraid of poison. I told you not to do it, but you insisted on doing so. If this was really done by her, then ask yourself, don't you deserve this outcome?"

"Don't say anything further!" Lin Shishi shrieked, and tears sprung down her face again. "My parents and brother are already gone and you can still say such words? You're my husband, but why do you always tend to side with her be it intentional or not?"

"I'm not siding with her, I'm just talking about this in an objective manner. Of course, if there's evidence to prove that she did this, there's no way she can run away."

Lin Shishi choked on her tears. Thinking of her family, she went mad and wished she could slaughter the perpetrator into pieces.

When the plane landed at the airport, they took a car all the way to the Lin residence, where international media reporters were already awaiting them.
