Chapter 595: The Killer

Old Lady Bo originally intended to return to her room, but Zhou Zining blocked her there.

She glanced at the still unconscious Qianqian and finally couldn’t bear it.

She said, “First, take Qianqian back to her room.

Although she’s not harmed, Xu Shu instructed that she should rest more.

You didn’t eat at noon either, go have some food.”

“Old Lady…”

Auntie Wu wanted to say that the Old Lady also hadn’t eaten at noon.

But the Old Lady waved her hand, “I’m very tired, I can’t eat right now.

I will eat after I sleep for a while.”

Auntie Wu opened her mouth but didn’t argue further; instead, she grabbed two soft cakes for the Old Lady to nibble on.

Even though Old Lady Bo personally spoke, Zhou Zining still stood still, seemingly being stubborn with someone.

She was good at cheering people up, but having been pampered since childhood, she had developed a spoiled nature, and when she didn’t want to show compliance, her true colors showed.

Luckily, since marrying into the Bo Family, she had never made a mistake, and besides archaeology, Bo Shuxian was devoted to her.

Old Lady Bo could see through Zhou Zining’s little tricks, and considering these two factors, she would turn a blind eye.

Today, however, Zhou Zining didn’t even give the Old Lady face.

“Enough already.”

The Old Lady sighed and let Auntie Wu help her into the elevator, unwilling to meddle in the younger generation’s affairs.

Nan Jiaojiao ate quickly and took the opportunity to inquire about Qianqian’s condition.

She had vomited a lot of water.

Fortunately, her time underwater hadn’t been long, and her internal organs hadn’t been damaged.

Nan Jiaojiao had anticipated this.

She hadn’t been able to get close to Qianqian at the time, but judging from Qianqian’s complexion, it had been about five minutes.

She managed to keep it just long enough to cause panic in the house but pulled her out of the water before she suffocated.

Heh.

The approach was far from simple.

“Nan Jiaojiao, how long do you plan to feign ignorance?”

Zhou Zining pressed her into the dining room.

As soon as she spoke, two intimidating stares turned towards her.

Bo Qingshan wasn’t intimidating enough to concern her, but the look Bo Yanching gave her made her subconsciously clench her fingers, the force unintentionally falling on Qianqian through the thin blanket.

Nan Jiaojiao noticed Qianqian suddenly furrow her brows, her eyes grew cold, and she stood up.

“You want an explanation?

I’ll give you one right now.”

She walked back into the dining room, manipulated her phone for a moment, and cast it onto the TV.

Zhou Zining initially didn’t take it seriously, but her expression gradually changed.

The surveillance had been edited, with key moments sped up, from last night when Qianqian entered Nan Jiaojiao’s room to six o’clock in the morning when Qianqian, on her own, opened the door and walked out with an unsteady gait, yet without the awareness to use her hands to stabilize herself against the walls—even if she bumped into them, she didn’t seem to feel the pain.

From the third floor to the second-floor staircase, a figure flashed by.

The person intentionally avoided the surveillance’s blind spot and purposefully looked towards a certain direction’s camera, but she didn’t avoid this corner.

Nan Jiaojiao had asked.

The camera was broken.

Conveniently, she knew how to fix it.

So, she completely restored the footage of Zhou Zining leading Qianqian towards the back door and hiding her behind the rockery while she herself took a detour back, went directly to Nan Jiaojiao’s room on the third floor, “discovered” Qianqian missing, then caused a panic throughout the house.

While the servants were searching inside and out, Zhou Zining carried the unconscious Qianqian from behind the rockery and threw her into the Lotus Pond.

“It was fourth aunt!”

Bo Qingshan looked astonished.

Zhou Zining turned pale, forgetting even to breathe, her back stiffened as her eyes, bloodshot, stared at the screen.

Suddenly, she lunged forward.
