Li Canxing looked at Li Fanxing in silence.
The look gave the latter the creeps. Li Fanxing pressed a hand to her chest and forced out a smile. “Of course not… Canxing, shouldn’t you be with Song Shi? Why are you back?”
“Song Shi is dead. Didn’t you hear?” Li Canxing suddenly raised her voice.
“What?” Li Fanxing feigned a surprised look. “Gosh! How come he’s dead?!”
Their father was even more astonished. “What happened?!”
Li Canxing smiled. “He… was killed. I saw someone stab him with my own eyes…”
“Canxing!” Li Fanxing cut her off, her smile perfect. “It must have been such a hard blow for you. Come, let’s get some rest. Don’t think too much, ok?”
Their father took her words at face value. “That’s right. Don’t be afraid, Canxing, I’m here for you! I’ll protect you no matter what!”
Li Fanxing dragged Li Canxing back to her room, acting all sincere.
Once the door was closed, Li Canxing threw off her sister and the two of them stared at each other. One could almost sense sparks in the air.
“What did you see?” Li Fanxing asked, stressing each word.
Li Canxing chuckled. “Sister… the only way to keep a secret is to do nothing in the first place… Kill Song Shi and frame me for it? That was such a clever plan, but I bet you didn’t expect me to find out, did you?”
She had been right outside the door when Li Fanxing did it and had witnessed everything.
Instead of running away after making the discovery, she had hidden in the bedroom closet and had heard everything that happened afterward.
Those police officers must have been arranged by Li Fanxing as well.
Li Canxing gloated. “You tried to set me up and I played along… An Xiaxia was the one who was taken to the police station.”
Li Fanxing was furious and slapped Li Canxing in the face. “You idiot! Do you think Sheng Yize will let you go after what you did to his wife?!”
“…” Li Canxing’s face slowly turned pale.

When An Xiaxia woke up again, it was deep into the night.
Her lips had turned purple from the chill. She hadn’t eaten in a day and the cell was damp and cold. She felt like she was living in hell.
The pain in her belly intensified. After repeated calls, two foul-mouthed men in uniforms finally arrived. “Be quiet!”
An Xiaxia cut to the chase. “I don’t feel well. Please get me a doctor.”
She took out a black card and gave it to them.
The two men were baffled.
The black card was proof of her prestige.
She must be someone very important to possess such a card.
However… they had been ordered to take her life.
The two men exchanged looks, both wavering.
Seeing this, An Xiaxia added, “I can give you money if that’s what you want… Just name your price.”
One of the men hesitated, then gestured with an open palm. “Five million.”
An Xiaxia nodded immediately.
The man added, “In US dollars!”
“No problem.”
He gritted his teeth. “Hold on. I’ll get you a doctor.”
As soon as he reached the gate, he saw a large group of people standing outside the police station. Every single one of them was holding a gun!
A helicopter landed in the yard and a man in a black suit and black leather shoes got out. There was something indomitable about him.
The chief of the police station greeted the man in an ingratiating manner, but the latter only put a gun to the chief’s temple.
He squeezed his words out through gritted teeth.
“Where is my wife?”
