Chu Ningyi frowned at her blunt rejection, was she giving him the cold-shoulder?
Shui Anluo saw the change in Chu Ningyi’s expression and grinned. “Director Chu, let me ask you another question. I’ve been holding it in for a long time now.”
Chu Ningyi lowered his head and bit her lips once before he said, “Ask away.”
Shui Anluo saw that the elevator has reached the ground floor. Chu Ningyi immediately dragged her out and got into the car.
“That person who had wanted to kill me, did he really go all the way to prison just for thirty million dollars? He’s a murderer, why would he go to the police?” Shui Anluo wanted to say that this degree of idiocy was unattainable even for her.
“Money can take lives and can also save lives. I’ve asked Old Second to look into him. He’s been on the run from people who want him dead. He needed thirty million dollars to settle the matter so he had no choice but to risk danger out of desperation,” Chu Ningyi calmly explained.
Shui Anluo stroked her chin. This was the meaning of ‘the evil we bring on ourselves is the hardest to bear’. Why would anything like this happen if he had just been a good person?
“Thirty million dollars, Yuan Jiayi can’t produce that amount. So that leaves only Lan Xin,” Shui Anluo mumbled to herself. “What? Is it my fault that someone else likes me?”
“Isn’t it?” Chu Ningyi said sheepishly.
Shui Anluo’s hand, which had been stroking her chin, slipped onto her face. She stared at Chu Ningyi who was driving seriously from the corner of her eye. She believes it now, Lan Xin must be the same species as Chu Ningyi so this does not seem so weird now.
“If it really was Lan Xin, I won’t spare her. However, if it’s Yuan Jiayi...” Shui Anluo said and continued to look at Chu Ningyi.
“The probability of it being Lan Xin is much greater. As for Yuan Jiayi...”
“If Yuan Jiayi doesn’t provoke me, I won’t touch her and I won’t trouble you either,” Shui Anluo lowered her head and mumbled.
Gratitude was still weighing heavily on his body.
Chu Ningyi glanced at Shui Anluo then stroked her head.
“Lan Xin has failed to kill me once, there won’t be a second time,” Shui Anluo said to Chu Ningyi seriously.
“I won’t let anything happen to you,” Chu Ningyi soothed her and frowned. He wondered if he should attack first or let Lan Xin do it so she would be caught unaware.
Shui Anluo grinned and nodded. “Then we’ll wait for the next time she attacks. I’d like to see the look of defeat on her face after working so hard for so long,” Shui Anluo said wickedly.
“You’re treating your own life as a joke.” Chu Ningyi did not approve.
“But you just said that you won’t let anything happen to me,” Shui Anluo explained matter-of-factly.
Chu Ningyi was speechless. She did make a lot of sense and he actually had no way to object to this.
After discussing the topic of secret assassinations, Shui Anluo’s heart was still pondering on the meeting tonight. She stroked her chin and reached out to Chu Ningyi, asking for the phone.
“Give me the phone.”
Chu Ningyi raised his brow. Has this girl’s audacity increased? Does she dare to order him around now?
However, Shui Anluo did not wait for his reply and immediately took the phone that he had placed in the front compartment. She had not received her new phone yet.
“If you want to give Qiao Yaruan a call, you’d better stop right now.” Chu Ningyi scoffed icily.
Shui Anluo paused. She had not pressed the last number and her large eyes darted around. How was she going to explain this to him?
Regardless, she had manipulated the Empress Dowager this time. Even though she had the intention of telling her that she was alright, she had also used her as a means of communication to pass on her suspicions. Therefore, she wanted to change Chu Ningyi’s perspective of the Empress Dowager.
