“I know, I know, stop talking, I’ll try and make you vomit…” said An Xiaoning.


No. 13’s breathing began to get more and more faint. “I… won’t make it. Serving you… has been a great blessing… thank…”


No. 13 pa.s.sed away even before he could finish his last words.


Staring at No. 13’s soul leaving his body and being taken away by the reaper, An Xiaoning could not contain her emotions and began weeping loudly in misery. She already thought of her bodyguards as her own family the moment she bought them.


It was her negligence that had caused the loss of so many of her family members whom she had failed to protect.


Upon the sight of her crying, everyone immediately teared up without hesitation.


Four minutes had pa.s.sed since No. 14 let out his first shriek.


Seven lives were lost within just five minutes.


Had she chosen to send them to the hospital instead, they would very likely have died along the way.


A grave and somber mood filled the air in the living room.


The unbearable pain An Xiaoning initially felt in her abdomen soon began to fade.


Resentment grew in her heart, and she was determined to find out who the vicious culprit was!


The ambulance only arrived more than twenty minutes later.


Upon the sight of the ambulance that had arrived way later than it should, An Xiaoning questioned in a hostile manner, “Are you people snails? The hospital is only five minutes away from here. Why did you take more than twenty minutes to arrive?”


The paramedics were frightened to see that it was her and hurriedly explained, “I’m sorry, Ms. An, we were stuck in traffic along the way, that’s why we’re late.”


“Stop wasting any more time. Hurry and carry them onto the ambulance, they’re poisoned.”


“Yes, yes, yes…”


The paramedics swiftly carried the nine people onto the ambulance and rushed toward the hospital. An Xiaoning did not tag along and instead called Jin Qingyan to get him to send some bodyguards to the hospital.


Upon hearing that something major had happened, Jin Qingyan sent his bodyguards to the hospital without hesitation and drove to Sanqiao Estate personally, along with Bei Qi and some other people.


An Xiaoning was in the midst of cleaning up the mess and vomit on the floor, looking as pale as a ghost.


The living room was filled with a pungent odor. Jin Qingyan took the broom away from her hands and pulled her onto the couch. “Let Xiao Bai do it,” he said.


He then handed the broom to Xiao Bai, who hurriedly cleaned up the mess.


Staring at Bei Qi, who was standing behind Jin Qingyan, An Xiaoning said, “There are still some raw dumplings inside the cabinet in the kitchen. We got poisoned after eating them…”


Bei Qi nodded and was pushed into the kitchen in his wheelchair.


“Have you checked the surveillance cameras?”


An Xiaoning nodded and said, “Yes, but there wasn’t anything unusual in the footages.”


“Let’s go to the kitchen.”


Once they got inside the kitchen, Bei Qi instructed Xiao Lu to bring him some dumplings, after which he said, “I’ll get an answer very soon.”


“I want it as soon as possible.”


After Bei Qi returned to Wei Ni Estate, An Xiaoning instructed Xiao Bai to tend to her apartment while she and Jin Qingyan rushed to the hospital.


The nine of them had gastric lavages and had been admitted to their respective wards.


The doctor explained, “Although I don’t know exactly which poison it is, I can tell that it’s a very lethal one. The three minutes before the effects of the poison set in are the most crucial. You guys have done the right emergency treatment. That’s what allowed them to survive. They’ll have to be hospitalized for the time being for further observations. They’ll be fine if no abnormal situations crop up in the next 24 hours.”


“Alright, thank you, Doctor.”


An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan entered the hospital ward together, after which An Xiaoning sat down on s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s bed. Holding her mother’s hand while tearing up incessantly, An Xiaoning said, “Mother, I’m sorry.”


s.h.i.+ Qingzhou comforted her, “What are you apologizing for? It’s not your fault anyway. We just didn’t take enough precautions and allowed the perpetrator the chance to take action…”


“The doctor said that you guys are generally safe if there are no further complications within 24 hours. I’ve already gotten someone to send the poison for a test, we’ll have the results very soon…” She turned around to look at the rest of them with an icy cold expression on her face. “I’ll definitely find the perpetrator behind this. I’ll let the culprit know clearly what the consequences are.”


The incident was not reported on the news, and no one else knew what happened yet.


Bei Qi was indeed an expert chemist. One hour later, he informed her of the results, “The water supply had been tampered with, but I’ve yet to confirm which part of it went wrong. I’m heading there with the detector now. I’ll need some help.”


“Got it.” An Xiaoning ended the call and said to s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, “We’re guessing that something has gone wrong with the water supply, though further investigation has to be done to find out which part of it was tampered with exactly. I’m going home to check up on it carefully. Call me again if there’s anything, Mother.”


“Alright, go ahead. Drive safely.”


An Xiaoning nodded and stood up to leave together with Jin Qingyan.


While on their way back to Sanqiao Estate, Jin Qingyan transferred more than ten of his bodyguards over.


They first checked the main water supply.


The main pipe was situated in one of the rooms in the house. They first pumped some water into a pail and proceeded with the test, after which they removed it to reveal a larger, white-colored pipe.


The well was the main reservoir, which supplied water to the entire mansion. Hence, they decided to start testing the water from the sewage. If the poisoned water was confirmed to be from somewhere else and not via the underground well, it would be much easier to find out from the other areas.


After the test, it was verified that the main sewage was the root of the problem.


However, what was puzzling was that the pipe was further away from the ground and yet the underground water was contaminated. If it was the underground water that had been contaminated, the rest of the residents in the estate would have been affected too. Hence, An Xiaoning decided to ask the other residents.


To her astonishment, none of the other residents were affected or poisoned.


Besides, most of the residents were cooking at home using the water from the tap.


It was obvious that only the water supplied to her mansion was contaminated.


But how was that possible?


They were all living on the same patch of land, so why was her house the only affected one?


“Remove the pipe.”


“Yes.”


The moment the pipe was removed, everyone caught sight of a hole about five meters away from the pipe. The hole was rather small. Everyone could not help but look at each other in dismay.


Bei Qi suggested, “Cut that portion off with a saw. I want to conduct a test on that spot.”


An Xiaoning gestured for the bodyguards to immediately begin sawing to allow Bei Qi to carry out the test.


An Xiaoning could see where the hole was facing.


Seemingly having guessed the conjectures she had formed in her head, Jin Qingyan said, “Xiao Bai, call s.h.i.+xin and get him to prepare seven coffins…”


An Xiaoning interjected, “One is enough.”


“Why?” Jin Qingyan asked in puzzlement.


“We’ll cremate them and store their ashes in an urn. We’ll then place the urns together in a coffin so that they can be with each other.”
