The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

How was she so quick…

“Old Madam, I was kind to you at first but you tried to kill me so I had no other option. Who do you think will die first? You or me?”

The initially haughty Old Mrs. Donggong was at a sudden loss for words.

Everyone in the house was frightened out of their senses. They did not expect things to take such an unexpected turn.

A young woman interjected, “Do you think you’d be able to leave this place alive even if you kill my grandmother?”

“Oh? Does that mean that you want your grandmother to die?”

“I… didn’t say that! Let go of my grandmother and we can talk things over calmly,” the woman said frantically.

“I can let your grandmother go, but you must call off the engagement right now.”

Old Mr. Donggong barked, “We’ll call it off! We’ll call off Lianzhi’s engagement now! I’ll send someone over to talk about it. Will that do?”

“I can let her go, but I’ll do that after Lianzhi and I get inside our car.” She looked down and said to Old Mrs. Donggong, “You’re already so old and yet you’re still so vicious. Get up, we’re going out.”

Seething with exasperation, Old Mrs. Donggong had no choice but to leave with her walking stick in hand. An Xiaoning walked beside her while Donggong Lianzhi followed closely behind.

They headed to the entrance, after which An Xiaoning helped her into the car and got onto the backseat as well.

Donggong Lianzhi began driving away. As soon as he left, a fleet of cars began to take chase.

“Pull over after moving up onto the slope.”

“Sure.”

He stepped hard on the accelerator to move up the slope, after which he immediately slammed the brakes. An Xiaoning opened the car door and allowed Old Mrs. Donggong to alight.

The elderly matriarch frantically alighted, after which the cars chasing them pulled over in the middle of the road. They initially wanted to rush forward. However, there was no way they could do so.

The bodyguards alighted and walked toward Old Mrs. Donggong. They then frantically asked if she was alright. Knocking her walking stick against the ground, she answered, “I’m alright. Okay, you may go back.”

“Madam, aren’t we going to take chase?”

“There’s no hurry. They can’t escape so easily!” Old Mrs. Donggong exclaimed angrily, gritting her teeth. She was truly frightened.

Upon hearing her orders, the bodyguards proceeded to help her into the car without uttering another word.

An Xiaoning and Donggong Lianzhi continued zooming toward their destination.

They remained silent throughout the journey. Once they arrived at the estate, he smiled at her and said, “I know why you did that. You’re still a little worried about me so you tried to use this method to pull me away from my family completely so that I’ll have no backup plan. I’ll then be devoted and loyal to you. Actually, you really don’t have to do this. I’m very clear about my current predicament. I’ve already figured it all out the moment I found out that they had sacrificed me. My only worry now is my mother. I wanted to take her along with me but I know I can’t. My mother has been living with the Donggong family for so many years, and she probably already treats them as her everything. To her, leaving the Donggong family would be her greatest shame. She’s usually very proud of being a member of the Donggong family. She will definitely be devastated if I ruin her pride.”

An Xiaoning looked at him and said, “You’ve mistaken me. I didn’t do that to ruin your backup plan. That wasn’t my purpose for visiting them today. It’s up to you to believe me.”

“What do we do next?” Donggong Lianzhi asked.

“Next, your family will call the cops on me for assaulting her and then the cops will come for us. At this moment, we can only beat them at their own game.”

“How?”

“You’ll find out when we’re upstairs.” She alighted from the car and headed upstairs together with him.

After closing the door, An Xiaoning took out her notebook and laid it on the coffee table.

She then took out her mobile phone from her bag. Donggong Lianzhi finally realized that her mobile phone was connected to a device on the exterior of her bag.

“What’s this?”

“A surveillance camera,” An Xiaoning said while connecting her mobile phone to her laptop, after which she quickly opened the video-editing software.

Donggong Lianzhi realized that the video playing on the screen depicted the scenario that took place in the Donggong family mansion, all the way until they returned to the estate.

It did not occur to him that she would have the entire process filmed. Staring at her editing the videos with finesse, Donggong Lianzhi said softly, “If we hand this over to the police, won’t they be able to tell that you had tampered with it and edited the video?”

“It doesn’t matter. At least we can produce some evidence. Can your family do that? When I was helping your grandmother out of the living room, I was extra careful so as to make sure that it looked like I was just helping her on the surface. There are no surveillance cameras in your family’s mansion either. No one would dare to install a surveillance camera there since that’s the place where all of you gather early in the morning. Your grandparents wouldn’t have allowed that. So, we shall now wait for the policemen to show up at the door, after which we’ll submit this USB drive to them.”

An Xiaoning then replayed the video again to ensure that there were no mistakes before finally calling it quits.

Just like she had expected, the police arrived and knocked on the door. After looking through the peephole, Donggong Lianzhi looked at her and made a hand gesture. He then opened the door.

The policemen entered the apartment after stating their purpose of visit.

“Please display your personal identification cards.”

An Xiaoning smiled and said, “I’m not a local. I’m just here to visit my boyfriend. Here’s my passport.”

She handed them the fake passport that she had already prepared beforehand.

After taking a glance, the police officer handed it back to her and said, “Ms. Mu Ning, someone has filed a report against you…”

Before he could even finish speaking, An Xiaoning handed him the USB drive and said, “Sir, my boyfriend and I were just planning to file a police report too but you guys coincidentally looked us up first. Please take a look at this. My boyfriend and I visited his family mansion today, and yet, the moment I entered… I…” Tears began to well up in her eyes and eventually rolled down her cheeks. She looked extremely pitiful and almost managed to tug at the heartstrings of the two police officers.

“What’s this?”

“Evidence. Evidence of them trying to execute me.”

“Really?”

The two police officers looked at each other in astonishment for they totally did not expect there to be such a turn in events.

“Yes, you’ll find out once you take a look at it.”

The two police officers immediately stood up and left.

As soon as An Xiaoning closed the door, she wiped her tears away and leaned back against the couch. Crossing one leg over the other, she looked at Donggong Lianzhi and said, “Let’s head back to your place tonight. Get ready.”
