Nan Zhi was full of anger but after hearing his morbid words, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“You killed me in your dream and you came here to kiss me awake in reality?”
Mu Sihan’s slender fingers pinched her delicate chin, his gaze morose. “In the dream, you would rather die with him than leave with me.”
Nan Zhi was speechless.
Mu Sihan saw that she was silent, his gaze darkened and his hand grabbed her slender waist, his handsome face buried in her neck. “You’re not allowed to go with him until I let you go, do you understand?”
His thin lips rubbed against the skin of her neck. The faint feminine fragrance captivated him and he breathed in the comforting scent that was so uniquely her.
His warm masculine breath landed on her neck like a feather moving across her skin. Nan Zhi’s body was somewhat stiff and her fingers fell on his strong shoulders. “You even blame your dream on me? You’d better get up and go, before you wake Xiaojie up.”
Mu Sihan rubbed the corner of her lips with his finger and lowered his voice. “I found the person who released the snakes. Do you want to go with me to interrogate that person, or do you want me to let you know after I’ve interrogated him?”
“I’ll go with you.”
Nan Zhi made breakfast for Xiaojie and Mu Sihan. After eating, she played with Xiaojie in the manor for a while, then went to ask Junyuan for an update on Xiaojie’s condition. After getting the news that his blood count was stable, she left with Mu Sihan.
The man who released the snakes was a middle-aged man. Mu Sihan had people beat him up and when he saw Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan approaching, he shivered in fear. “The snakes I released were all not poisonous. Someone wanted me to scare Miss Nan, but not take her life.”
Nan Zhi looked at the man whose face was bruised and swollen, with his eyes full of fear. He seemed to be telling the truth.
But if he did not release the poisonous snake, why was the snake that bit Brother Gu Sheng poisonous?
Nan Zhi said coldly, “Who told you to release the snakes?” Actually, she had a person in mind, but in order to prove it, she needed more information.
The middle-aged man shook his head. “She wore a hat and mask and her face was covered. I don’t know what she looks like. She offered to settle my $200,000 gambling debt if I released the snakes and splashed the red paint. Miss Nan, I really didn’t want to kill you!”
Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows. “You did not get a clear look at what she looked like, but you should remember her height, or whether she’s fat or thin, or her smell and voice, correct?”
Nan Zhi had just finished speaking when Mu Sihan kicked the man’s chest and looked down at him, his face cold. “Think carefully or else on this day next year, it will be your death anniversary!”
The man was pale with fright and shivered, not daring to omit anything and described everything he knew in detail.
Nan Zhi listened to the man’s description and pursed her lips.
“I know who it is.”
Back in the car, Mu Sihan looked at Nan Zhi, who was silent, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. “What are you planning to do?”
Nan Zhi could not just let it go, but she did not have enough evidence, it was still speculation. So she decided to pay back in the same way.
After listening to Nan Zhi’s plan, Mu Sihan smirked and said, “Not bad, you have the demeanor of being my woman. You can’t be soft-hearted on your enemies.”
…
The night was getting darker.
Ding Shuman, who had the habit of meeting her friends and playing cards every week, came out of a high end clubhouse.
She had drunk some wine and was humming a tune, clearly in a good mood.
When she got to he car, she waited for the chauffeur to open the door but after awhile, she did not see the chauffeur. Cursing, she pulled the door open and got into the backseat.
She had just sat down when she heard the sound of the car doors being locked.
