Monday ca, and there was a new rumor circulating about Yu Lai's cursed webnovel. The an comnts on her book were mass-deleted by the administrators, and it was obvious that soone was pulling the strings from behind, doing damage control.
Whether it was to protect Yu Lai's reputation or the site's, it only ant that those who maliciously slandered her would eventually face the consequences of their actions.
Bai Xinran's family released a statent by then, disclaiming the rumors around Yu Lai's death. They wanted her readers to rember the joy it brought to her when she was just starting writing her webnovel. For those who slandered her, Yu Lai had forgiven them before her death, but that didn't an they wouldn't have to face the lawsuits.
By this ti, Liang Sisi was visibly shaking in fear and anxiety. She was afraid that her heinous actions against Bai Xinran would eventually co to light anyti soon. It didn't help that Miss Xia, Bai Xinran's mother, refused to pick up her calls ever since she made that interview.
'I shouldn't have done that interview,' she thought as she bit her nails nervously, 'Did they find out sothing about that night? That's impossible.'
Liang Sisi managed to find Lu Anqi, together with Li Fei'er and Shen Minyao. Lu Anqi and Li Fei'er didn't seem like they suspected sothing about her involvent. However, as Liang Sisi stared at Shen Minyao, she felt like the fox woman's clear eyes could see right through her soul and unearth the sins she had committed.
"Is there progress in your investigation? Is there sothing else I could help you with?" She asked the three, hoping that she could gain so information about the case.
Shen Minyao snorted, which was so unladylike of her status. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked away, while the other two young won beside her smiled awkwardly at her reaction, knowing well that Shen Minyao was displeased with Liang Sisi's presence.
"About that, we decided to drop the case, Miss Liang. Bai Xinran's mother said that we've done enough already, and we wished not to get involved with the proper investigation anymore," Lu Anqi said. Since she was technically Jiang Chen's assistant, there's no need for Liang Sisi to co after Shen Minyao and Li Fei'er.
"Proper investigation? What do you an, Miss Lu?" The smile on Liang Sisi's face faltered. Was this to an that the rumors about the investigation and lawsuits were all true? This ant trouble for her then!
"Well…" Lu Anqi and Li Fei'er shared a knowing look. "It ans that Bai Xinran's family doesn't believe that she took her own life, so they wish for the authorities to reopen her case and find a probable cause to start the investigation."
Liang Sisi's face blanched upon hearing those words, but she pretended to be only shocked.
"Is that true? Does that an soone murdered her?"
"How did you know she was murdered? It looks like you are certain that Bai Xinran was murdered, Miss Liang." This ti, it was Shen Minyao who questioned her.
"I—I… I just made a guess, Miss Shen," Liang Sisi stuttered, but it was already too late. The three won before her were already aware of the heinous cri she committed.
Before Shen Minyao could say more, Liang Sisi imdiately excused herself and fled from the scene as if she was running for her life.
"Look at her. She couldn't even keep her act together," the fox woman comnted.
Lu Anqi shook her head. It might not be obvious, but she was really nervous while speaking with Liang Sisi earlier. The fact that a young woman like Liang Sisi was able to commit murder baffled her.
Jiang Chen might have decided to close the case for their sake, but it didn't an Lu Anqi was okay with eting a murderer on the loose, face to face.
"Milady sure knows how to bully soone," Xiao Bai, who was seated on her right shoulder, comnted.
"Little Master shouldn't call Classmate Shen a bully. It was Liang Sisi who dared to bully her best friend anyway." Li Fei'er pouted and disagreed with the fat white cat.
Lu Anqi glanced at Li Fei'er and then at Shen Minyao. She still couldn't see Shen Minyao's familiar and wondered what it looked like.
"I'm jealous. I want to see Miss Shen's familiar, too." She smiled at the two.
"Ohh, Lu Anqi. Little Master is the cutest cat you'll ever see!" Li Fei'er bragged happily. "He's this round and so soft." She then reached a hand in an attempt to touch Xiao Bai's head.
"Don't touch , Little Jiu!" Xiao Bai bristled in annoyance at her. Ever since Li Fei'er started seeing him, she had always attempted to engulf her into a hug, which annoyed him to death. No matter if it was in the past or today, Feng Jiu remained the sa towards him.
"Aww, don't be so angry, Little Master. I just want Lu Anqi to know how good-looking you are." Li Fei'er laughed at him.
"I always look good in any form I take. You don't have to tell the obvious thing." Xiao Bai huffed.
"Conceited pig cat." The fox woman scoffed, earning a glare from the cat on her shoulder.
"Hey! Who are you calling a pig cat, milady?! I'm not a fatty cat!" Xiao Bai complained.
Shen Minyao rolled her eyes and looked outside the window in the hallway. She needed to see and check on her human contractor soon. Although she could sense that Zhao Yichen's health was recovering fast from his injuries, there's no telling if another demon would co after him.
Just as they stepped into the third floor, they were stopped by a group of won again. Shen Minyao raised a slender brow when she saw Xu Shenshen, but this ti, Shen Qing was with her.
"Hello, Cousin.. It's been a while since we last t, don't you think?" Shen Qing said with a mischievous smile.
