Chapter 1297: I Want to Make You Stay (175)

“Madam, you won’t be able to fall asleep if you drink tea at night. You shouldn’t drink anymore.”

“I can sleep fine even if I drink tea.” Old Mrs. Donggong sighed. “Where has this old fellow gone that he isn’t back yet?”

“He should be back soon. Madam, do you want to rest first?”

“I can’t sleep. I’ll wait for him to come back first.”

After she had drunk half a cup of tea, Old Mr. Donggong was back.

Seeing him return, the servants automatically went out.

“Old Lady, guess where I’ve been?”

“I’m not guessing.”

“Oh seriously, just make a guess.”

Old Mrs. Donggong hit the nail on the head instantly. “You went to see our eldest son, right?”

“Aiya, you’re still smart, after all.”

“What did the police station say?”

“They said we should just let this incident go because, if that woman posts the video online, it’ll be detrimental to the reputation of our family.”

Old Mrs. Donggong sneered, “That woman really emerged out of nowhere. I’ve checked for so long and still couldn’t find her. From how I see it, we should hurry and kidnap the two of them, lest they come up with other tricks.”

“Didn’t you see today how that woman isn’t a simple one? It’s right to think of a way, but that’s not realistic at all.”

“How is it unrealistic? They need to drink water, right? We can do something to their water tank and secretly tell the other households that the water can’t be used for a few days. We’ll drug the water, then.”

“Let’s talk about this tomorrow.” Old Mr. Donggong headed to the room to sleep.

An Xiaoning placed the oilcloth and tile back before following the elderly couple along the roof of the room they slept in.

When the two sat on the bed, the Old Madam couldn’t help but say, “You saw it today too. He can’t be tamed now that he’s all grown up, and he’s very much aware that we were going to sacrifice him previously. So, don’t let him off easily just because he’s part of the Donggong family.”

“Alright, alright. I heard from our son that there’s no news from S Nation at all. Why isn’t there anything from that An Xiaoning if she’s back home?”

“She probably thought that that was really just an earthquake, or that our Donggong family is no pushover, so she doesn’t want to come over and die in our hands.”

“You’re overthinking it, I don’t think that’s the case.” The Old Master said in a frustrated manner, “Old Lady, you should read the news more when you’re free to have a better understanding of things, okay? You think that she’ll actually be afraid of us? This An Xiaoning’s mother is now the First Lady of S Nation while her man is the leader of S Nation’s largest conglomerate. How could she possibly be afraid of us? She’s probably plotting on how to take revenge on us, right? I’ve long thought that planning an accident to kill them previously wasn’t a good idea, but you insisted on going ahead with it.”

“Yes, yes, yes. It’s all my fault. Happy?”

“Look at yourself, Old Lady. Getting angry just like that as you speak.”

“If we hadn’t taken the opportunity to try to kill them previously, who could guarantee what she would have done to our family? I’m afraid that she’ll do something crazy. We should have just killed Lianzhi previously. All these troubles are created by him.”

The Old Master did not speak and simply arranged the pillow properly before lying down. After a moment, he muttered, “These… must really be the sins our ancestors committed that we now have to suffer for.”

“Alright, don’t talk about that anymore. Today, Miaomiao chose Fifteen.”

“Really?”

“Yes, it’s true. Looks like this marriage with the Jin family will still take place.”

“That’s good. I really didn’t think that that young brat would be so scheming. She even knew to bring a surveillance camera to our house.”

Old Mrs. Donggong uttered in a mocking tone, “She emits a seductive air, just like a vixen.”

“Are you jealous just because she’s young and pretty?”

“I’m not someone like that. How many years could she possibly be younger than me? When she grows as old as me, she’ll probably look worse than I do.”

“…”

An Xiaoning, who was on the roof, was seriously dumbfounded from hearing what the old lady said. Seeing how the eldery couple were about to sleep and were no longer chatting, she got ready for her next plan of action. The only piece of useful information she had gained was what Old Mr. Donggong had said earlier about them suffering the sins their ancestors had committed.

But it did not matter to An Xiaoning.

They would hardly say anything she wanted to know when they’re awake, but when they were asleep, An Xiaoning would definitely make them spill out everything.

She gently covered the tile on the roof and took light steps to leave with Donggong Lianzhi.

The tiles on an old roof were definitely not as solid as those on a new house. Moreover, with two adults standing on it, it was difficult to not make a sound.

When Donggong Lianzhi almost slipped, An Xiaoning instantly grabbed onto his arm to support him. He was evidently shocked but tried to balance his body and bent down, slowly heading forward.

The two both did not know if the sound created earlier alarmed the people in the house, but they increased the speed at which they went across the roof and got down from it.

Almost immediately after they had gone down, someone appeared to check on the roof. It seemed that they had really alerted the people in the house.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a cat started climbing onto the roof, making it a close shave for them.

Following this, An Xiaoning had wanted to stop him from going along with her. After all, with one more person around, it was easier for them to be exposed and there would not be as much freedom as a single person would have.

However, after much careful thought, she still allowed him to go along with her.

There was a maid guarding outside the Old Master and Old Madam’s bedroom. But luckily, all the bodyguards were outside the main door. As long as they did not alarm the people outside the main door, getting in wasn’t a difficult task under the premise that they did not alert the elderly couple inside the room.

An Xiaoning took out her killer’s weapon from her bag and swiftly poured the liquid in the bottle onto a handkerchief, which left her skin wet as well.

She took the handkerchief and made her way to a corner quietly before heading toward the girl who was sitting there alone to guard the room.

Although the girl was on night duty because no one was around and the night was long, she had her head lowered as she played games on her phone. After all, it was quite unlikely for her to be caught. There were many rules in the Donggong family, but as long as one was not caught, it was fine.

She had been doing this almost every night.

An Xiaoning went forward and accurately covered her nose and mouth area with the handkerchief. Within two seconds, the girl passed out.

She allowed the girl to rest against a huge pillar and took the phone in her hand, which was about to fall to the ground, before placing it back in her hand properly. From afar, it looked like she had just fallen asleep.

An Xiaoning made a gesture from around the corner, and Donggong Lianzhi came walking over briskly. As he walked, he did not forget to take light footsteps.

Donggong Lianzhi led her and pushed open the door gently. Having lived in the Donggong residence for so many years, he was more than familiar about how to make the wooden doors not make a sound as he opened them.

The two went in and closed the door behind them.

An Xiaoning made Donggong Lianzhi stand there by himself while she went in. She intended to call him in only when she had the situation under control.

While he was standing right at the door, he was extremely nervous as he watched her enter the bedroom slowly.

An Xiaoning speedily covered the old lady’s nose and mouth with the handkerchief, making her pass out almost instantly.

This was because she intended to hypnotize only the old patriarch.
