The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Upon hearing how serious the matter was, Lin Shishi immediately proceeded to look for Tuoba Gucheng without delay, before even having her breakfast.

“First Lady, why are you still so mindless and reckless when you move about? What’s going to happen if you fall down?” Shi Xiaoyu said teasingly with a smile.

“Mother, do you know where Gucheng is now?” she asked worriedly.

“He’s having a meeting. What’s the matter?”

“I have something important to tell him.”

Shi Xiaoyu walked with her and asked, “What’s the matter? You seem really flustered.”

“Something has happened to my godsister. She went missing all of a sudden, we can’t find her at all.”

Shi Xiaoyu lit up with surprise and asked, “You mean An Xiaoning?”

“Yes.” Lin Shishi hurriedly left, leaving Shi Xiaoyu in high spirits.

It seems to be Heaven’s will. An Xiaoning had met with a mishap even before I took action on her.

Ever since her husband’s stern warning, Shi Xiaoyu had instructed her subordinates to stop shadowing An Xiaoning. Yet, she had unexpectedly gone missing.

Shi Xiaoyu was bursting with joy and euphoria. However, she knew that she ought to stay out of this matter, lest she gets caught by Tuoba Rui again. Besides, it had nothing to do with her anyway.

She had a clear conscience.

Lin Shishi arrived at the door of the meeting room and peeked inside to see that Tuoba Gucheng was indeed there. Although she desperately needed to see him, she knew that it would be inappropriate to barge in at this timing.

Thus, she had no choice but to wait outside quietly.

Half an hour later, the meeting finally ended.

Lin Shishi zoomed inside the room and called, “Hubby.”

“What’s the matter? You seem so flustered.”

“Something has happened to my sister,” Lin Shishi tiptoed to whisper into his ear.

A grave expression formed on Tuoba Gucheng’s face immediately and he answered, “Got it, go back and wait for news patiently. Leave the rest to me.”

“Okay,” Lin Shishi agreed with a nod.

After Lin Shishi left, Tuoba Gucheng immediately instructed his secretary to send an investigation team from B City and find out about the situation, regardless of whatever it takes.

She had actually gone missing.

Tuoba Gucheng’s heart sank at the thought of it. The culprit better pray I don’t find out who he or she is. Otherwise, I’m going to make sure he dies a horrible death!

The Xu family was in a constant state of anxiousness.

They monitored the situation via the live feed from the surveillance cameras.

Peace was disrupted, and they were filled with immense tension.

Jin Qingyan was the only one who did not yet know about the incident.

There were no reports about it on the news either.

Naturally, he wouldn’t have known about it.

He was in the midst of having his breakfast when Long Tianze showed up.

“Are you kidding me? You’re still in the mood for breakfast? Don’t tell me you haven’t heard about it yet?” said Long Tianze.

“About what?” Jin Qingyan asked, having his porridge slowly.

“Ms. An went missing last night. My wife didn’t sleep at all throughout the night. The Jin and Lin families have both caused a stir in the police station and informed the government in B City. The President has sent an investigation team over to check on this matter.”

Jin Qingyan’s initial composure grew into an uncontrollable rage. An austere and menacing expression formed on his face as he threw the spoon onto the table, producing a loud and crisp sound.

“Why are you only telling me this now!?!”

“Well, I thought you already knew! You’ve always been well informed about everything. How would I know that you haven’t heard about it yet?”

“I didn’t know at all. I initially had my people shadowing her in secret and keeping close tabs on her but I told them to stop last night!”

Jin Qingyan absolutely regretted his decision.

Why did I even agree to let her have her wishes!?!

He stormed off and exited the door like a raging bull.

By the time Long Tianze reached the door, Jin Qingyan had already driven away.

An Xiaoning had been on a long flight and spent a night on the cruise ship.

They finally arrived in R Nation.

Extremely relieved, Xu Baizhi contacted her family, only to hear that the President had sent people on a search for An Xiaoning. However, she remained unfazed and comforted her family, as well as herself, that nothing would come out of their investigation.

Due to the twelve-hour time difference, it was evening time in R Nation and morning in S Nation.

The bunch of people checked into a holiday inn together with An Xiaoning.

They fed her some food and gave her some water.

“Are you really not sleepy at all? I won’t touch you, just sleep if you want,” said Xu Baizhi.

An Xiaoning was indeed very fatigued from all the tension within her throughout the journey.

Thus, she closed her eyes without uttering another word.

Noticing that she had fallen asleep, Xu Baizhi and the hypnotist shot each other a glance and continued to eat quietly.

A while later, Xu Baizhi glanced at the hypnotist again, signaling for him to take action.

The hypnotist walked toward An Xiaoning and waited for a few minutes before beginning the hypnosis.

“You’re completely relaxed now, and you’ve slipped into a slumber. You won’t be able to hear anything from the outside world, all except my voice. Stay on the line with me and follow my instructions. You can’t move your body anymore now, neither do you feel like moving. You’re feeling very comfortable…”

The hypnotist paused in his speech and asked, “Were you born on the 15th of July?”

“Yes,” An Xiaoning answered.

Xu Baizhi watched the hypnosis occur, filled with delight and excitement.

“What was your birth timing?”

“I don’t know.”

The hypnotist and Xu Baizhi looked at each other, after which Xu Baizhi handed him a note and instructed him to ask the questions written on the paper.

“Who are your biological parents?” the hypnotist asked.

“I don’t know.”

After taking another look at the note, the hypnotist went on to ask, “Do you plan to search for your biological parents?”

“No.”

“Did your adoptive parents tell you anything about your biological parents?”

“No.”

The hypnotist put the note away and sat on the bed to talk to Xu Baizhi softly.

“Seems like she really doesn’t know the exact timing of her birth or who her biological parents are. She’s never thought of searching for them either.”

“Got it.” Xu Baizhi gave him the side-eye and said, “I’ll transfer the remaining three million dollars to your account later. You may leave in peace tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Ms. Xu. I’ll go next door to catch some sleep now.”

“Go ahead.”

An icy cold stare formed in Xu Baizhi’s eyes. She was extremely fatigued because she did not catch a wink at all throughout the entire journey.

She could finally get a good rest now.

The instant that the lights were switched off, An Xiaoning, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes immediately.

She had been curious about who the petite, gentle-tempered-looking man was. To her surprise, he was a hypnotist.

They actually tried to hypnotize me.

They didn’t know that I possess hypnotism skills myself, did they?

I may not be an expert, but so what?

I know everything there is to know about hypnosis, and I know all the right techniques.

I can finally relax now. I wonder if my family has discovered that I had gone missing yet.

An Xiaoning closed her heavy eyelids and drifted off to dreamland.

There was a huge crowd on both sides of the narrow sidewalk.

There was a countless number of people, and all she could see were their heads.

She was wearing a white prisoner’s uniform, and all four of her limbs were shackled to chains.

She was barely ten years old.

Her tiny face was stained with blood, and there was nothing except hopelessness in her eyes, for she had already resigned herself to fate.

She was held down by the soldiers and guards, who were pushing her forward.
