An Xiaoning swiftly zoomed out and broke a few more lamps using the same method.

Leaving from the main entrance would undoubtedly be a foolish decision. However, she would have to overcome several obstacles if she were to leave from upstairs.

Besides, it was not a guaranteed success.

She did not have the best solution either.

Before she could even decide where to escape from, a bunch of bodyguards entered and walked toward Shi Xiaoyu’s bedroom.

An Xiaoning took the risk and shot another lamp along the staircase with the needle. Fortunately, she had brought enough hairclips with her so as to give herself an advantage in such situations.

Once she arrived at a blind spot on the second floor, she caught sight of a group of patrolling guards who were walking toward her direction in a single file.

An Xiaoning felt her stomach twist into a knot. She plastered herself against the wall, hoping that no one would discover her.

When the patrolling guards walked past her, she dared not exit at all. Fortunately, none of them turned around, allowing her to make a successful escape.

Since there would definitely be guards around the window she had entered from, she would have to activate the emergency exit in order to leave.

She had meticulously planned the position to enter from.

It was on the third floor.

To her astonishment, she heard footsteps approaching just as she arrived on the third floor.

The fat was in the fire. Needless to say, they must have already checked the surveillance cameras and found clues along the broken ceiling lamps.

In a moment of panic, An Xiaoning swiftly slid down the rope from the third floor and tugged the rope to retract it. There were several torchlights shining at her from above.

However, she managed to stay obscure thanks to the bushes and trees, as well as her all-black attire.

On the way back, she tripped and fell several times because she had sprinted too quickly.

However, An Xiaoning could no longer be bothered.

An Xiaoning was panting heavily when she climbed back up into Tuoba Gucheng’s dressing room from his window. She sat down on the floor, perspiring uncontrollably.

Upon finding that Tuoba Gucheng was still asleep, she reinstalled the anti-theft window and returned to her own room to take a shower and clean her wounds.

Being careful as ever, she set the pair of shoes she was wearing on fire with a lighter in the bathroom, along with her cap, surgical mask, and clothing.

She was not afraid that she’d left fingerprints behind since she had been wearing gloves throughout. However, the surveillance cameras might have managed to capture her in the dimly-lit room.

But then again, it would be difficult to identify her since she was wearing the night-vision goggles as well as a surgical mask and a cap.

After drying her hair, An Xiaoning returned to Tuoba Gucheng’s room and sat on the couch to wait for the night to past.

Throughout the rest of the night, she could hear security teams and guards on patrol outside.

An Xiaoning heaved a sigh of relief and continued to sit on the couch until daybreak. Tuoba Gucheng finally woke up.

He supported himself and sat up, only to be greeted with the sight of her sitting on the couch with her back straightened, appearing rather awake and clear. “Go back to your room to get some rest,” he said, gesturing for her to leave.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

An Xiaoning returned to her room.

Tuoba Gucheng freshened up and got dressed before making his way downstairs for breakfast, during which he heard that there had been a trespasser in the president’s mansion the night before.

“Who had the audacity to do something like that?”

“I don’t know, they’re still in the midst of investigations.”

“Did anyone get injured?”

“No, the trespasser clearly didn’t succeed. The surveillance cameras could only manage to capture a blurry figure.”

“Can the gender of the trespasser be identified?”

“Not at all.”

Tuoba Gucheng nodded and said, “Seems like the trespasser was after something. Fortunately, Mu Ning was there to guard my room at night. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to sleep in peace.”

“Your Highness…” After some thought, Xiao Chi decided to speak his mind, “Previously, Mu Ning had been remaining inside your room all day… Tongues have been wagging about this matter.”

“Tongues have been wagging? What have people been saying?” Tuoba Gucheng asked with raised brows.

“Well…” Xiao Chi paused in his speech.

“Speak.”

“They’re saying that you may have fallen for Mu Ning, Your Highness.”

“If my mother hears about this, such frivolous gossip is going to cause many lives to be taken again. Call everyone here, I’d like to give out some instructions. You don’t have to call Mu Ning, she’s resting.”

“Alright.”

After having his breakfast, Tuoba Gucheng stared at the people in front of him with a stern expression on his face. Placing his hands behind his back, he said, “I heard you guys have been talking privately about Mu Ning and me. Is that true?”

“We wouldn’t dare to,” they answered in unison.

“I don’t care if you really dare or dare not. But I hope you’ll understand this: don’t allow your wagging tongues to cause Mu Ning to end up in the same plight as Jiang Feng. Mu Ning is going to be transferred back to Danxue soon. By then, Bai Zhi will resume her duties here. Is there any wrong in letting Mu Ning rest in peace after she’s suffered such a severe injury because of me? If any of you were in her place, you would be treated the same as well! Besides, do you guys really think Mu Ning is prettier than Ms. Lin?”

Everyone looked at each other in puzzlement and answered while smiling, “Ms. Lin is prettier, obviously. Mu Ning is really hideous.”

“If you had to choose between Ms. Lin and Mu Ning, who would you pick to be your wife?”

“Well…”

“I’m just saying what if. I want to hear the truth.”

“Ms. Lin, of course…”

“Even you guys have chosen Ms. Lin, would I be so blind as to fall for Mu Ning? Don’t make any speculations on your own. I believe I don’t have to explain why a loose tongue causes trouble. Hasn’t there been enough losses of innocent lives?” Tuoba Gucheng hissed sternly.

Everyone remained silent.

“Answer me, will you behave like this again?”

“No!”

Staring at his subordinates, Tuoba Gucheng instructed, “Alright, you’re dismissed. You may go back to performing your respective tasks.”

He turned around subconsciously to see that An Xiaoning was standing by the staircase. At this moment, Tuoba Gucheng felt a little awkward and afraid to make eye contact with her. “Didn’t I tell you to rest? Why did you come downstairs?”

“I’m hungry.”

Upon hearing her voice, the subordinates immediately fled the mansion.

Needless to say, An Xiaoning had already heard everything Tuoba Gucheng had said. However, there was no change in her expression, as if it did not concern her at all.

She calmly proceeded to have her meal.

Although Tuoba Gucheng kept a straight face, he was filled with awkwardness.

He felt as if he had been exposed for badmouthing others.

Sun Weiwei was sentenced to death immediately.

After so many years, the truth about Bai Ranran’s death, which was caused by Sun Weiwei’s injection of the virus, was finally unraveled.

Due to the fact that her assistant had also died that night for the same reason, Sun Weiwei was charged for the murder of two lives.

Her execution took place on the 16th of July.

The weather was exceptionally fair, with fluffy white clouds in the clear blue sky.

News of the matter was broadcast across all media platforms online and on television.

The tabloids released several articles that documented the entire course of her career, from her rise to her fall.

No one would have expected to see the once-famous megacelebrity, who was Ye Xiaotian’s had-been godsister, ending up in such a pathetic plight.

Now that it had actually happened, everyone began to think that the entertainment and showbiz industry was not as glamorous as they had imagined.
