The previous day, at noon.

After lunch, Granny Xu and Auntie Sun were watching a reality TV show in the living room. Before long, a group of unexpected guys visited their house and claimed to be Mu Sijues men.

The fierce-looking ringleader told Granny Xu, All these years your granddaughter has been lying to you. She didnt study abroad a few years ago. Instead, she was working for a evildoer in Southeast Asia!

Although Xu Youning was a little rebellious, she was a good granddaughter to her grandmother. Lying, evildoer Granny Xu could hardly imagine how those words would relate to Xu Youning.

Granny Xu remembered that someone had pretended to be a policeman to deceive her the other day. Subconsciously, she thought that the group of guys were also swindlers. She shouted angrily, Get out of my house right now! Or Ill call the police!

Oh, old lady. We will. But only after you have a look at these. With that, the man threw her a stack of documents.

Granny Xu was old, so she couldnt see the Chinese characters on those papers clearly. However, she could plainly see the photos.

Wearing undershirt and army trousers, Xu Youning appeared in those photos as she was trained to box, to shoot, fight with others in the mud and trekking in the jungle with weapons

In those photos, Xu Younings deer-like eyes looked no longer innocent but fierce and murderous, like a deadly weapon.

No. Its not my Youning. The person in those photos looked totally different from the Xu Youning in Granny Xus eyes; she didnt want to believe it. Take these faked photos! Go away!

You raised Xu Youning. Old lady, you know better than us if its her or not, the man sneered and said, Let me tell you one more thing. Xu Youning didnt come back to City G last year because of her graduation. She returned because the evildoer asked her to work undercover around Seventh Brother.

No. Thats impossible! Granny Xu stood up with agitation and shouted, Dont try to fool an old lady like me. My Youning is well-educated. She has a decent job. These must be faked photos! Ill have to be rude if you dont leave now!

How could an old lady like you, as you said, be rude to us? The man laughed arrogantly and said, Xu Youning thinks that she fooled Seventh Brother, but now she has been sniffed out. Were here to find the evidence that she colludes with Kang Ruicheng. Seventh Brother wont let her go!

With that, the man waved his hand, and the other guys immediately began to rummage around, turning the house upside down.

Granny Xu was sophisticated; she wasnt scared by their actions, at all.

However, those guys searched Xu Younings room and found a Swiss army knife, miniature bombs, and various sorts of self-defense weapons.

If the person who used those items wasnt a police officer or a soldier, then it could only be

Granny Xu breathed hard, wondering, How could my Youning be a criminal?

All of these, along with those photos, should be enough to convince you. Right, old lady? The man walked up to Granny Xu, then he placed his hands on her shoulders and said, How dare Xu Youning lie to our Seventh Brother? Now shes doomed.

Please let Youning off, Granny Xu pleaded, Ill give you anything you want if you do.

We want nothing but her life. Nothing can be exchanged for it. The man applied an item in his hand to the old ladys nape while saying, If youre unwilling to leave her, you can go now and wait for her in hell.

With that, the man released Granny Xu and threw the item into the wastebasket.

Granny Xu lost her balance, and the discomfort in her chest suddenly intensified. She fell to the ground and said, Xiao Sun, my medicine

Auntie Sun had been held down; she had just broken free at that moment. She ran over to get Granny Xus medicine and helped her take it, then she called the police and the ambulance.

After that, the group of guys left with what they had found in Xu Younings room. Not long after, the ambulance and the police arrived at the same time.

However, Granny Xu passed away on the way to the hospital, which caught the skilled ambulance doctor unprepared.

Those were the events of the previous noon.

After telling Xu Youning about that, Auntie Sun looked at her with distress and said, Youning, your grandma passed away.

No, she didnt, Xu Youning shook her head repeatedly and said, When I left home she was just fine. She couldnt have passed away. She wont leave me alone

Auntie Sun said, We couldnt get in touch with you yesterday. The police told me that you should go to the funeral home to identify her corpse when you returned.

Xu Youning covered her ears to shield herself from Auntie Suns words. I dont believe it. Auntie Sun, youre wrong. You have to be

She would rather die than believe that her grandmother had left this world. She even missed seeing her grandmother for the last time.

Youning Auntie Sun wiped away the tears on Xu Younings face and said, Come on.

Im fine. Xu Youning forced a smile with runny eyes and said, Auntie Sun, I didnt tell my grandma that I was coming back because I wanted to surprise her. Shell be happy if she sees me. Could you please tell her to show up? Dont tease me anymore, please

Your grandma passed away! Auntie Sun suddenly shouted, Youning, you should face the facts. Dont fool others as well as yourself anymore!

Xu Youning looked at Auntie Sun, blanked out. She was an ordinary person with a simple ambitionto see her grandmother again.

Before she passed away, your grandma asked me to tell you that she didnt blame you, no matter what youve done, because she believed that you have your reasons. She wouldnt want to see you blaming yourself if she were alive. Should you feel sad, just live on. Live your life, you see!? With that, Auntie Sun shook Xu Youning violently as if she were trying to wake her up.

Auntie Sun. Xu Younings voice sounded as low as a mosquitos. I cant see my grandma again, right?

Auntie Sun made up her mind and told Xu Youning once again, Your grandma has left this world.

Xu Youning felt as if she had been emptied. She froze there, stunned, as tears welled up in her eyes.

The gate of their house was open, and a gust of wind blew into the hall. Although it was midsummer, standing in the draft, Xu Youning felt a chill on her back.

She asked like a robot, Auntie Sun, did those guys say that Mu Sijue asked them to come?

Yes, Auntie Sun nodded and said, They said that they had come here to find the evidence about you working undercover. They also said that once it was proven that you are a mole, Mu Sijue would not let you off. Youning, I have packed up for you. Go now, and never let Mu Sijue find you. Even if it is just to make your late grandma feel at ease, you have to live on.

Xu Youning froze there, pondering and then asking, After my grandma was taken to the ambulance, did anyone else visit our house except the police?

No. The police told me to keep the scene intact any anyone else outside. Auntie Sun noticed that Xu Youning looked strange, so she asked, Youning, what are you thinking about? Arent you going to leave?

Before leaving, I have to find out some facts.

Xu Youning broke away from Auntie Sun, then she searched all around the house; not a corner was left out.

In the end, she turned and went out.

Auntie Sun followed her out and asked, Youning, where are you going?

To the station.

Xu Youning got in the car and wiped her tears, then she drove straight toward the police department.

After she identified herself, the police officer assigned to her grandmothers case walked over and said to her awkwardly, Miss Xu, weve surveyed the scene and questioned the witnesses. Your grandmothers death was an accident. We found that she wasnt murdered.

Unexpectedly, Xu Younings eyes looked cold. She said, I want to see the evidence from the crime scene and the autopsy report.

Pardon? For a moment, the police officer didnt get her point. Generally, the families of the deceased would go to the police department for the results of investigations; few of them had asked for evidence.

I want to see the evidence that you collected from my house after my grandma died. Xu Youning stared at the police officer coldly. Then she continued to say, I know its against the rules. But I heard that those guys who broke into my house were Mu Sijues men. Everyone knows that Mu Sijue is a rainmaker in City G. So, I have reason to believe that you declared my grandmas death an accident because you fear Mu Sijue.

Miss Xu, I am sorry for your loss but youre not supposed to question our professional ethics at will! The police officer became angry and said, Our detection skills are worthy of the badges on our chests!

Then let me see the evidence you have! Xu Youning approached the police officer and stopped there. She said, Or I will tell the press about it and threaten you with what you hate the most. Listen, I dont care if Im playing dirty tricks anymore!

Why do you want to do this? asked the police officer. It is you who worked for Mu Sijue. You asked for trouble and caused your loved one to die. You should go and get even with Mu Sijue.

Because I need to know the truth. Xu Youning stressed her words. I just want to have a look at the evidence. Its up to you to close the case. I wont disturb you or make any trouble.

The police officer thought she was ridiculous and said, We found out that you betrayed Mu Sijue and his men went to your house. Your grandma was devastated so she died by accident. This is the truth.

Xu Youning smiled coldly and insisted on seeing the evidence.

In the end, Xu Youning was taken into an office. The autopsy report, as well as the suspicious items that had been found in her house, all of it was placed on the table.

She carefully read the autopsy report, then she picked up a vial from the pile of items. The vial was exactly the item that had been thrown into the wastebasket by the man who had placed his hands on Granny Xus shoulders.

At that very moment, she learned the truth she was looking for.

As she crushed the vial, Xu Youning suddenly calmed down.

She realized that it was a trap, one that had been set right after she was kidnapped by Kang Ruicheng in Mexico.

She thought, The police officer is right. My grandma died because of me.
