Chapter 139: There’s Something Wrong With This Woman (2)

Catherine exited the room and happened to see the footage from the surveillance cameras. She squinted and said in disdain, “There’s something wrong with this woman.”

“Oh?” Kristen got up as he had his interest piqued. He waved at Catherine and beckoned for her to come to him. She then walked towards Kristen who pulled her into his arms and inched closer towards her. “Where does the problem lie?”

“Her eyes. Unlike normal people, her eyes are out of focus and glassed over,” Catherine said coldly.

“Smart,” Kristen praised before giving her a kiss.

He then laid down and placed his hands behind his head. “Ou Lixue was hypnotized and her behavior had been controlled too.”

Seeing that Kristen seemed to be interested in continuing to analyze it further, Catherine hissed with a frown, “Kristen, surely you can’t be thinking of being nosy and helping that woman again!?!”

Catherine was almost infuriated. However, Kristen did not think much of it. Instead, he glanced at Catherine calmly and snapped sternly, “Catherine, do you need me to remind you about your status? Who are you to interfere with my decisions?”

Catherine bit her lip indignantly and made eye contact with him for a long while before lowering his head and saying, “Yes, I understand.”

The days passed one by one and before he even knew it, a month was already up.

Ou Lixue’s corpse had already been cremated and her ashes were buried in Yangming Cemetery of S City. However, the case was not closed yet. Instead, the burial of Ou Lixue’s ashes sparked an uproar in society.

Luo Anning was placed under house arrest in Luxury Mansion and was not allowed to go anywhere else. She dared not look at the news reports and magazines, or even surf the internet.

She was afraid of coming across criticism and hate that was directed at her and hence decided not to look at the platforms at all, lest she felt even worse.

For the past week, Chen Keming would do his rounds at regular intervals and make her recount everything that happened on the day of the incident, without missing a single word.

Luo Anning did not have a guilty conscience and hence, every attempt of Chen Keming’s to make her leak a new detail, failed.

There was no progress in the case and hence, the Serious Crime Investigation Unit of S City had already taken over.

Rong Yan headed straight to the study after having his dinner. Luo Anning made a cup of tea and served it to Rong Yan.

“Are you not done with work yet?” Luo Anning then walked towards the desk slowly and placed the cup of tea on his right.

As soon as she arrived, Rong Yan closed his documents and looked at her. Noticing the paleness of her face, he asked with a frown, “Did you not take a nap this afternoon? Why do you look so awful?”

Luo Anning shook her head and asked him, “How’s the case going? I can’t keep staying here in the mansion. Besides, Ou Lixue’s remains have already been buried after her corpse was cremated. It’s now harder to clear my name.”

Rong Yan chuckled and pulled her onto his lap, after which he fiddled with her long and silky hair. With glistening eyes, he said, “Don’t worry, the forensic pathologist has already noted down all of the information. You’ll be alright. Trust me.”

Luo Anning leaned against his chest and prayed silently that things will really be alright, like what Rong Yan said.

“Father, could you lend me three million yuan?”
