w.a.n.g Xin vehemently retorted to Yi Ying. An Xiaoning could tell how repulsed and disgusted he was with her, such that he still detested her greatly after her death.

“I would’ve killed you first if I’d known earlier that you’d say that! I would’ve killed your entire family!” Yi Ying snapped agitatedly.

Despite feeling a little daunted, w.a.n.g Xin chastised, “Heaven was doing justice by taking your life away, you vicious wretch. Yi Ying, you’ve killed so many innocent lives, go to h.e.l.l.”

“I’ll kill you right now!” Yi Ying gathered all her energy in a bid to surge toward w.a.n.g Xin. Unfortunately for her, she could not break out of the circle drawn by the amulet. w.a.n.g Xin broke out in a cold sweat and stood rooted to the ground.

An Xiaoning admired him for having such a strong backbone. “She won’t be able to come out,” she said rea.s.suringly.

“Ms. An, please get rid of her quickly. A wicked woman like her is too terrifying!” said w.a.n.g Xin.

Noticing that half of the joss stick had already been burned, An Xiaoning said to Yi Ying’s parents, who were crying non-stop, “Hurry and say whatever you want to tell her. You’re running out of time.”

Mr. Yi shook his head, clearly having nothing to say to his daughter.

On the other hand, Mrs. Yi cried, “Yingying, you’re too cruel and vicious! I didn’t think you would do something like that. You’ve really let me and your father down, we’ve never had a daughter like you!”

“Without a daughter like me, how would you have gotten that compensation sum of more than one million dollars as well as all the money from my savings? You guys were the ones who left me in Grandma’s care ever since I was young, and you’ve never cared for me or done your part as my parents before. You were the ones who deprived me of parental love, that’s why I was so devoted and obsessed with w.a.n.g Xin…”

Before she could even finish, An Xiaoning interrupted, “Your parents may have to bear a small responsibility, but they really pale in comparison with you. Yi Ying, I’ve been living in the mountains with my mentor ever since I was young, and I was deprived of parental love as well. Why didn’t I turn out like you? You were the one who went astray by yourself and yet you still have the cheek to blame others for it. I won’t waste any more time talking to you.”

“Ah!”

A deafening shriek filled the air, which soon disappeared. The amulet then fell to the ground.

An Xiaoning heaved a sigh of relief and waved to Ma Jianguo and Team Leader Zhang. “Let’s go back.”

w.a.n.g Xin carried his wife and asked, “Where did Yi Ying go?”

“To where she belongs. Rest a.s.sured, she won’t have the chance to disrupt the peace and harmony of the public anymore. Live well with your wife.”

“Thank you, Ms. An. Actually, I do feel a little guilty for lying to you earlier, not because of her, but because of the innocent lives that had been lost. They didn’t do anything at all. Ms. An, please give me the list of all the casualties in the accidents. I can’t bring them back to life, but I’d like to compensate their families with some monetary relief.”

“Ma Jianguo, give Mr. w.a.n.g a copy of the list of names later when we return to the police station. He has good intentions,” said An Xiaoning.

“Yes, Team Leader.”

During the journey back to the police station, Team Leader Zhang acted out of his usual behavior and was praising An Xiaoning incessantly, giving An Xiaoning the gooseb.u.mps.

“Team Leader An, you’re exactly the kind of talent the police station needs.”

“Nah, I’ll be glad as long as you stop backstabbing me,” An Xiaoning gibed.

Team Leader Zhang smiled awkwardly and said, “Ahem, I don’t have any ill intentions, Team Leader An. I’m just used to running my mouth without thinking. I’ll change my ways in the future. I wouldn’t dare to badmouth you again, Team Leader An.”

“Who knows if you’ll really not do it again? But you’ve been running low on luck lately, Team Leader Zhang, because I happen to overhear you every single time you badmouth me,” said An Xiaoning. She then sent a text to Tuoba Gucheng, Jin Qingyan, and Gu Beicheng at the same time.

It was a broadcast message that read: “The president has granted us permission to prohibit the use of all vehicles on the roads for a week. I’ve now solved the problem and traffic may resume in the city later on. I just want to hear a compliment from you. Remember, be more descriptive and literary with your words.”

All three men were pleased to see her message.

Tuoba Gucheng was the first to reply: “You’re the only woman I admire.”

Gu Beicheng was next. “When you first got married to Jin Qingyan, everyone knew you as ‘Jin Qingyan’s wife’ and ‘Gu Beicheng’s sister.’ Yet, you’ve now made a name for yourself and I’m now known as ‘An Xiaoning’s brother’ while Jin Qingyan is known as ‘An Xiaoning’s former husband.’ I’m very happy to be addressed that way, though I’m not sure if I can say the same for Jin Qingyan. Well done.”

Jin Qingyan was the only one who did not reply.

By the time they arrived at the police station, Jin Qingyan had still yet to reply to her. An Xiaoning placed her phone inside her pocket and decided not to pay attention to it for the time being.

Pan Zhenghui welcomed them with a smile and said, “Xiaoning, you’re really our station’s pride and joy. The higher-ups have just called to say that we may allow traffic to resume as per normal.”

An Xiaoning knew that it was her text message to Tuoba Gucheng that had done the trick. “Okay, good that this matter has been settled. I spent the night here yesterday. I can finally go home tonight.”

“Xiaoning, let’s go have a good meal. My treat.”

“You guys go ahead. I want to go home to take a hot bath and get some sleep,” she declined before leaving with No. 5 and No. 8.

As soon as the notice was released, several cars began traveling on the roads.

An Xiaoning arrived home to see that the wall of her bathroom had already been restored.

She took a warm and comfortable bath before lying down in bed and checking her mobile phone.

She’d received three unread messages from Jin Qingyan.

“As a brilliant man, I’m not surprised at all to have such an outstanding woman like you.”

“I really want to give you a huge reward. After much thought, I decided that the best gift I can give you to express my sincerity is my precious member.”

“You were really pretty today.”

An Xiaoning replied: “You saw me today?”

“You’ve been running through my mind all day.”

An Xiaoning replied: “Have you done the restoration of the corpse?”

“Yes, it was your incarnate. I’ve already cremated the corpse and buried your ashes together with my incarnate. We didn’t get to be together when we were alive, but at least we got to stay together after our deaths.”

An Xiaoning stared at the message on her screen, feeling a sudden urge to see Jin Qingyan.

Despite having just seen him a while ago, she could not help but yearn to see him again.

Unable to resist the urge, she added: “I want to see you.”

After sending the message, An Xiaoning hurriedly deleted and unsent the text before replying, “I’ve been busy the entire day and I’m exhausted. I’m going to bed now. Goodnight.”

He did not reply.

An Xiaoning was not at all bothered and went to sleep after placing her mobile phone on the table.

She had a peaceful sleep with no dreams that night, allowing her to feel relaxed and at ease.
