The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

"I wanted to say this just now. How could Missy and Shi Shaochuan push all the blame to No. 5? That's so unreasonable of her. They were attacked when No. 5 happened to send Bao'er home. Bao'er couldn't have stayed in the boot camp forever anyway. The culprit would have definitely found another way to take action. I can understand her pain and sympathize with them for losing their daughter, but they can't just push all the responsibility to No. 5. That's so irresponsible of them. Besides, I feel that Bao'er's upbringing has a lot to do with the way she had turned out. The way that they had educated her and her personality were the main problems."

"I've already told the rest of them to talk to No. 5 and counsel him. This is such a tragic incident. Wen Lele did that just to avenge herself, but Bu Xianxian… she's just a horrible person."

"Young Madam, it seems on the surface that Bu Xianxian would not be held liable for this. After all, the only evidence we have is of her contacting Wen Lele and Shi Shaochuan. However, we still don't have proof of Wen Lele instigating Bu Xianxian."

"That doesn't mean we can't find any proof. Bu Xianxian is definitely going to be implicated since she had already gotten herself involved in this."

Fan Shixin looked up at the sky and said, "I'm really speechless when it comes to Bu Xianxian. She could have lived very well at first, yet she just had to lead herself onto this path of no return. I really wonder what goes on in her head."

"The spirit that she's feeding doesn't seem to be a kind soul. If she doesn't serve it well, she's going to end up in trouble."

Feeling extremely exhausted, An Xiaoning closed her eyes and began getting some rest.

——

Shi Shaochuan knocked on the door with all his might. However, Bu Xianxian and her parents simply refused to open the door. At last, Bu Xianxian had no choice but to call the security officers of the estate.

Bu Xianxian finally felt relieved after Shi Shaochuan was brought away from the estate.

Mrs. Bu had no idea what was going on exactly and was worried sick; so was Mr. Bu.

Bu Xianxian sat on the couch, feeling extremely ill at ease.

She had been feeling that way ever since she heard about Wen Lele's suicide.

However, she constantly tried to comfort and reassure herself.

She repeatedly told herself that it had nothing to do with her since she was not the one who killed Jin Bao'er.

Clearly, her reassurance did not work at all. Her prayers did not stop the police from knocking on her door.

Bu Xianxian was brought away by the police for interrogation and further investigation. Shocked out of their senses, Mr. and Mrs. Bu tagged along to the police station.

They were flabbergasted after hearing the police officers' explanation.

No matter how many times the police officers questioned her, Bu Xianxian insisted that she had just broken up with Shi Shaochuan and was merely acquaintances with Wen Lele, whom she had contacted a few times.

However, the police officers were no fools. When asked about the one million dollars that she had received from Wen Lele, Bu Xianxian hemmed and hawed before answering, "We're just acquaintances, but I… I told her who the culprit who had set her on fire was. She gave me that money as a token of gratitude."

"If it was a token of gratitude, shouldn't she have given you the lump sum all at once? Why did she split it into two payments? Besides, aren't the timings of transfer a little too coincidental? The last payment was transferred a short while before something happened to Jin Bao'er. Bu Xianxian, don't think we don't know that you had been up to some witchcraft."

Bu Xianxian vehemently answered in denial, "She split it into two payments because she found that the amount she gave me at first was too little. That's why she transferred me a larger sum afterward. Is there a problem with that?"

"In that case, we'll have no choice but to force you to undergo hypnosis."

"How dare you hypnotize me at the police station?"

"Why can't we hypnotize you? It's the fastest way to make people like you speak the truth."

Bu Xianxian said in refusal, "That's an invasion of privacy. I refuse to be hypnotized."

"We've already received permission to do so, because Team Leader An had already seen those tricks that you were up to. Hence, she has allowed us to put you through hypnosis. Bu Xianxian, we have lots of ways to make you speak up."

Bu Xianxian began to get flustered and hurriedly said, "I didn't commit any crime."

"It's not up to you to decide if you've committed a crime or not. Are you going to tell us the truth yourself or let us hypnotize you?"

"I'll just tell you the truth." Bu Xianxian finally came clean about the truth and revealed everything that had happened. She then said, "Wen Lele was the one who looked me up and told me to do that. I didn't kill Jin Bao'er or Wen Lele."

"Did you merely set them up?"

"Whatever it is, I didn't commit a crime."

"Ms. Bu, it seems like you still don't know much about the law in S Nation. Although you're not the mastermind, you're considered to be an accomplice. Isn't that a crime?"

Bu Xianxian asked worriedly, "Accomplice? Will I be given a sentence? How long will my jail term be?"

"That's for the court to decide."

"I don't want to be put behind bars. I want to get out of here," said Bu Xianxian, who began to panic.

The police officer stood up and said, "You don't have a choice."

"I want to see my parents. Please just let me see them once."

"You can't see them yet for now. We'll let you do so once you're allowed to."

Bu Xianxian was on the verge of breaking down.

Her ultimate agenda for seeing her parents was to make them beg Jin Qingyan to save her. However, Mr. and Mrs. Bu would have definitely done that with or without her request.

She was their only daughter, after all.

How could they watch their daughter go to jail?

Hence, after leaving the police station, Mr. and Mrs. Bu rushed back to Wei Ni Estate and asked to speak to Jin Qingyan.

Jin Qingyan allowed them to enter. Upon the sight of him, Mrs. Bu teared up and began begging him to help Bu Xianxian while on her knees.

Staring at them, Jin Qingyan said coldly, "You guys want me to save an… accomplice who was involved in the murder of my niece? Since she assaulted me and framed me previously, Bu Xianxian has already signed an agreement that states that I'm no longer indebted to her for saving my life. Hence, I definitely won't save her. She's the one who brought all of these things upon herself. She'll at most be sentenced to a jail term of ten-odd years. That's nothing compared to someone else's life."

"What? Ten-odd years?" Mrs. Bu was on the verge of passing out. She continued, "Nick, Xianxian may have made a mistake and signed that agreement, but you can't deny that your life is worth more than that. If Xianxian didn't insist on saving you back then, you would have lost your life long ago. My husband and I promise that we'll move back to our hometown once Bu Xianxian is rescued from prison. We won't come back to S Nation ever again. She's our only daughter. How are we supposed to live if she goes to jail for ten-odd years?"

"I've had enough of you people emotionally blackmailing me with the fact that she had saved me. That is not your get-out-of-jail-free card. If I give you a hand this time, how am I supposed to face my sister? End of discussion. Please leave," said Jin Qingyan, who did not waver at all.
