Chapter 1348: I Only Want You (46)

An Xiaoning looked toward the direction where his finger was pointed to. The bed was the lower bunk and was near the window.

There was nothing special about it; it was just a metal bunk bed they use in dormitories.

She surveyed the surroundings before asking, “Which bed did Chen Anran sleep in back then?”

“She slept on the upper bunk, above Jiang Guoguo’s bed.” The principal pointed to the upper bunk and remarked, “Here.”

An Xiaoning walked to the front of the bed and reached out to touch it lightly. The bed started rocking instantly. “This bed is about to break apart already, can people even sleep here?”

The principal answered, “After all, it’s been so many years already. Back then, it wasn’t this rocky, just a little. It wouldn’t affect the students’ sleep.”

“But if the student sleeping on the upper bunk isn’t considerate, it’ll easily affect the student sleeping on the bottom bunk.”

With that, she did not say another word and left the dormitory room.

She only intended to have a look at the school casually. After leaving the place, An Xiaoning received a call from Fan Shixin.

He clearly informed her that he had gotten all the relevant information on the murderer, Chen Anran.

Without any hesitation, she went back.

After reading all the information, An Xiaoning remarked, “She changed her name and got plastic surgery. She even relies on sleeping pills to help her sleep all this while. It looks like she’s still uneasy about that murder. What kind of deep feud would make her carry out such a vicious act?”

“What deep feud could two female students possibly have?” Fan Shixin analyzed, “It must have been little things that built up over time and erupted. Moreover, those little things must have made the murderer exceptionally uncomfortable. For instance, snatching her boyfriend or badmouthing her. Everyone’s different. Some are more magnanimous while others may be more petty and narrow-minded, keeping everything inside their hearts and not saying anything about it. But at the end of the day, they remember every single thing clearly.”

“There is concrete evidence and all, but her motive for the crime is still unclear. After all, back then, Chen Anran wasn’t interrogated. We still don’t know what her reason for carrying out the murder is.” An Xiaoning asked, “Is she currently hiding overseas with a different identity?”

“Yes. That’s what the investigation results show. She only comes back during festive seasons to visit her family.”

“But there’s still some time before the new year. I’ll make a trip overseas to meet her first. Actually, this is what I plan to do…” An Xiaoning explained slowly, “If I can penetrate her psychological barrier, we don’t need to go through other unnecessary trouble. From how she still uses sleeping pills, it’s evident that she is affected by the murder. Although I know the possibility of this working out is pathetically small, I should at least see what she’s like first.”

“If she had a conscience, she would have turned herself in long ago. Would she be such a coward and not admit her crime?”

“Even if she’d wanted to turn herself in, her family wouldn’t have agreed to it. Her family members are reputable figures, they’d naturally have wanted to conceal this. Moreover, she may be more afraid of dying. We wouldn’t know since we haven’t interacted with her and have no understanding of her at all.”

“I feel that Young Madam doesn’t need to make a trip overseas yourself and that you’d be able to lure her back home.”

“What plan have you got?”

“Once you officially announce that you’ll re-investigate this case, her family, including herself, would be more worried than you are. Let them contact you themselves. Wouldn’t that make it easier for them to expose themselves?”

An Xiaoning felt that this idea was not a bad one. “But… what if they don’t contact me themselves?”

“I think they will. They must know that you’re already aware of who the murderer is for this case, so they might want to talk to you in private.”

“I don’t think they will, because the evidence is a back-up copy.” An Xiaoning shrugged. “As such, they don’t know that we have the evidence with us. They probably think that the evidence has been destroyed already.”

Fan Shixin’s jaw widened slightly. “You mean, the Chen family doesn’t know that there is still evidence remaining?”

“Of course.”

“I’m really curious as to who left the evidence behind back then. Whoever it was, he or she was really quite brave.”

“That’s why I really admire this person. The evidence was the surveillance camera footage along the corridor of the girls’ dormitory that was left behind from back then. During that period of time, Chen Anran was the only one who returned to the dormitory and the windows were also equipped with an anti-theft function. Putting these aside, other pieces of evidence that were unable to be copied were destroyed. But even then, this piece of evidence is more than conclusive enough.”

Fan Shixin suggested, “Then I think that Young Madam could give the Chen family a call and tell them that you have the evidence in your hands…”

An Xiaoning didn’t think much of this idea. “I still want to see her myself. Give me the exact location where she is staying.”

“I think Young Sir will go mad again. After all, he hopes you can stay at home every day so that he can see you.”

An Xiaoning smirked. “It’s wishful thinking on his part.”

….

When they were about to sleep at night, Jin Qingyan’s liver nearly burst open when he heard that she was going overseas.

“Can’t you just stay in A City obediently?”

“I’ll be back very soon.”

He wasn’t too happy to hear her answer. “Do you need me to accompany you?”

“No, you’re tired enough, going to the company every day.”

He turned over, half-resting on her. “Then, how many days will you be gone?”

“I’ll be back within a week.”

“…”

“You’re upset?”

“You must be back within four days.”

After some thought, An Xiaoning felt that four days should be enough if things went smoothly, so she agreed. “Alright, four days it will be, then.”

Seeing her agree to it, Jin Qingyan allowed a smile to appear on his face. He touched her face affectionately and remarked, “Good girl.”

The following day, An Xiaoning boarded the plane to leave the country.

Once she left, Pei Yi called her. She was about to switch off her phone when she received his call.

“Are you at home?”

“No. Is anything the matter?”

Pei Yi answered, “Can I meet you?”

“I’m on a plane right now, it’s taking off soon. I have something that I have to settle overseas. Aren’t you back home yet?”

“No. After being in your country for some time, I find I’m quite liking it here,” Pei Yi remarked casually but with a serious look on his face. “Since you’re not in S Nation, forget it. I’d wanted to meet you since we didn’t really talk much previously at the restaurant.”

“There are quite a few places with nice scenery in S Nation, you can go around and have a look. But did you come alone or with someone?”

“If I told you I came alone, you definitely won’t believe it.” His lips curled into a faint smile and, upon hearing the sound of the plane engine on the other end, he added, “I won’t disturb you anymore, I’m hanging up.”

With that, she hung up the call as well and looked up at the plane that was taking off while leaning back against the seat.

Since he had come to S Nation, he had been by himself the whole time.

He did not bring a single person with him.

That’s right. Sometimes, one simply had to have insane courage. Nobody would have thought that he would go there alone, but that just was the truth.

Pei Yi drove his car back out of Wei Ni Estate.

Of course, An Xiaoning didn’t think that Pei Yi had anything important he was looking for her about. If there was, he would have told her over the phone.

She had gone to a neighboring country.

After a rather short plane ride, she arrived.
