She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1131: An’an Is Captured

With him around, it will definitely be alright.

The three walked while asking around, and arrived at the place where An’an had last attended class. Just as they got there, Renault was about to hit Sun Kai, and upon seeing Sheng Ning, he shouted loudly, "Sister-in-law, it’s this guy, he called An’an out."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning’s eyes turned red, "

She stepped forward and grabbed Sun Kai’s collar, "Where did you take my sister? Speak!"

"I didn’t, I really didn’t!" Sun Kai wasn’t stupid; he knew he absolutely couldn’t admit it. If he admitted anything and something really did happen, the school definitely wouldn’t let him off.

"You’re lying, many people clearly saw you call An’an out of the classroom."

"I’ve always been bullied at school, they’re framing me on purpose."

"I think if you don’t suffer a bit, you’ll just keep stubbornly denying it."

"Speak! I’m giving you three seconds."

"Murder! Ah..." Before he could finish shouting, Renault kicked him, sending him flying against the wall.

Sun Kai was in so much pain that stars danced before his eyes, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Will you talk?"

"I just won’t talk, what can you do to me?" He gave a malicious smile, his delicate face becoming quite sinister because of it.

"You’ve got guts, won’t talk, huh? I’ll take your life."

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk... in the alley behind the side gate..."

Sheng Ning turned around and left, just as the school security guard arrived. Renault threw his badge over, "Arrest him for me first, our captain will interrogate him personally." With that, he swiftly followed.

In the alley, Han Xiaoqiu lay on the ground, eyes wide open, blankly staring at the blue sky. The blood under her slowly seeped out, staining An’an’s hands red.

"Ah..." Dong Shuhua screamed frantically.

The fat hooligan lying on the ground was also stunned by the sudden change. Clearly, it was that yellow-haired girl beneath just now; how did it suddenly become the rich woman who died with eyes wide open?

An’an looked at the blood on her hands and then at Han Xiaoqiu’s wide-open eyes, feeling as if the corner of her mind that had always been confined suddenly collapsed. Then everything went black as she fainted.

Sheng Ning arrived with her people, just in time to see An’an faint. Renault, quick on his feet, caught An’an just as she was about to fall.

The scene in the alley was truly shocking, with Han Xiaoqiu dead with eyes wide open, a hooligan stabbed in the shoulder, and Dong Shuhua in a frenzy.

And An’an, whose clothes had been torn to shreds, was unconscious.

Sheng Ning stumbled, fortunately, Chen Huaying had quick reflexes, or she would have fallen forward.

The Criminal Police Team—

Xu Qigang arrived as expected, the meeting was halfway through when the door was forcibly opened from outside.

Chen Yingjie had an unusually serious expression, "Captain, something happened to sister-in-law."

Xu Qigang stood abruptly, "Where? What happened?"

"At National Security University, An’an killed Han Xiaoqiu!"

"What?" Xu Qigang, despite his strong mental resilience, was shocked and his eyes widened, "Are you sure you’re not mistaken?"

"No mistake! There are two eyewitnesses at the scene."

"Captain, Captain, the local police have already been dispatched." Zhao Changqi hurriedly reported after receiving the alert; in the eighties, a murder case was already considered a major incident.

Zhao Changqi and Xu Qigang exchanged a glance, and the two seamlessly split tasks to cooperate.

Xu Qigang led his team out, with Chen Yingjie closely following, quickly briefing on the information he’d received.

"You’re saying Han Xiaoqiu wanted to harm An’an, but An’an accidentally killed her instead?"

"Exactly!"

Xu Qigang recalled Xiao Ning mentioning a hunch earlier, feeling immensely guilty. Before they could say more, the reconnoitre sent to follow Han Xiaoqiu the previous morning returned with a report.

"Captain, sorry we realized it late."

"Is there any lead?"

"Yes! This was entirely schemed by Han Xiaoqiu and Dong Shuhua; we’ve gathered the evidence."

"But now, it seems An’an ended up killing Han Xiaoqiu instead." Chen Yingjie furiously wanted to kick something, "Isn’t this all hindsight now?"

The group hurried out, and by the time they arrived at the scene, the alley was surrounded by police, with a cordon set up outside. Zhao Changqi promptly coordinated with the local police to take over the scene.

"Xiao Ning, are you alright?" Xu Qigang stepped inside and found Sheng Ning clinging to An’an, refusing to let go. The usually lively girl was dumbfounded, sitting on the ground.

He slightly furrowed his brows, squatted in front of An’an, and softly said, "An’an, how are you now? Don’t be afraid!"

The girl lifted her head, her unfocused eyes found focus after a moment. She gave Xu Qigang a reluctant smile and complained, "Why are you only here now? Get your wife away; she’s seriously messing with my thoughts."

Xu Qigang’s pupils barely perceptibly narrowed, gently helping Sheng Ning off the ground, "Are you alright? Don’t worry, we’ll figure out a way to help you."

"I’m fine, not worried at all." Xu Qigang’s frown deepened.

Sheng Ning wiped her tears, speaking with a nasal tone, "You act like that, and I’m more worried."

"I’ll go tell them, this has nothing to do with you, it’s all my responsibility." Sheng Ning was almost driven mad by An’an’s behavior, never had the well-behaved An’an been so disobedient.

She repeatedly told her it had nothing to do with her, that she admitted to the killing. Even threatening Dong Shuhua and the hooligan didn’t work, and yet once the police arrived, An’an confessed everything.

She even described the entire scene.

Now she couldn’t even recount what happened, let alone take the blame.

Xu Qigang wrapped an arm around Sheng Ning’s waist to keep her from collapsing. She was so frail she could barely stand, seeing this made his heartache visible in his furrowed brows.
