The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses Chapter 610 - The Secret About the Past (228)

The problem was, how was she going to enter?

The route she adopted previously was definitely a no-go.

She could not alarm anyone else before she made her way in. Otherwise, should she get caught, she would probably lose her life before she could even find out the truth she wanted to know.

Since she had already decided to sneak in at night, she made all the necessary preparations.

An Xiaoning did not choose to climb the wall because she had already observed the circ.u.mstances.

For every ten steps she took, there would be a guard on duty, leaving her with no chance at all.

Thus, she chose an unexpected path.

The trees around the mansion would be her greatest tool.

An Xiaoning climbed up a tall tree and latched her rope onto a thick branch.

She was rather agile and nimble since she did not weigh much, making it easier for her to move about.

It was an extremely dangerous act to leap from one tree to another using the rope, especially at night. However, it was a far safer option compared to trying to make it past the bunch of guards on duty below the trees.

Courage and bravery were indeed necessary to carry out such a dangerous act.

The guards below the tree merely thought that the trees were swaying in the wind. It had never occurred to them that a woman would have such audacity to commit something so dangerous.

By the time An Xiaoning reached the roof of the third floor, her legs had already turned to jelly.

She retracted her rope and sat on the ground, panting heavily in exhaustion.

She had already expected there to be guards at the stairwell of the third floor.

An Xiaoning was dressed in black from head to toe; her head was wrapped with a black cloth, and she was wearing a black-colored surgical mask and a pair of shades.

She retrieved a pencil-thin steel wire from her waist in an unhurried manner. The moment she cut the power circuit to switch off all the lights, she swiftly looped the wire around the guard’s neck in G.o.dlike speed.

He was killed instantly.

She dragged him onto the rooftop and took away the gun attached to him.

An Xiaoning headed to the master control on the second floor and whipped out a small bottle of fuel she had prepared beforehand. She then poured the fuel onto the plastic box of the master switch and set it on fire with a lighter, causing the box to go up in flames instantly.

The entire area became pitch dark all of a sudden.

She removed her shades and put on the night vision goggles before zooming toward the first floor while holding her shoes in hand.

An Xiaoning swiftly ducked below the stairwell when she caught sight of a bunch of bodyguards rus.h.i.+ng up the stairs with handheld lamps.

After waiting for them to go upstairs, she quickly took the chance to zoom toward another corner, only to see s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu exiting her room with bodyguards.

It was a G.o.dsend opportunity for her.

It had always been her agenda to enter s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu’s bedroom again.

She finally had the chance to do so again after a great deal of painstaking effort.

She opened the closet and began fumbling about in an attempt to find the switch from which the ringing sound came about.

However, she heard footsteps approaching the room again before she had even managed to find it.

An Xiaoning again hurried to hide.

Being inside the room was already advantageous for her.

Once s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu falls asleep, An Xiaoning can then begin to hypnotize her and find out everything she wanted.

Unfortunately, s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu clearly did not have any intentions to sleep.

Instead, she was leaning against the headboard of the bed while holding her mobile phone in hand.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Come in.”

A bodyguard entered the room and reported, “Madam, the master switch was set on fire by someone. We’ve checked the surveillance camera footages and found that there was another trespa.s.ser again tonight. However, we couldn’t find the trespa.s.ser after checking all the rooms. He or she has probably already escaped.”

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! There are so many guards around, and yet, a trespa.s.ser still managed to sneak in. Worse still, none of you could manage to catch the trespa.s.ser. A bunch of useless garbage! Seal the pa.s.sageway leading to the rooftop on the third floor!” s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu hollered in exasperation.

“Yes. Mr. President is already making the necessary arrangements.”

“Are there any missing items?” s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu questioned, quivering in anger.

“One of the guards was strangled to death by a steel wire. The gun attached to him is missing as well.”

“Continue to investigate until you get to the bottom of the matter. This is already the second time this has happened! I don’t want to see this happen for a third time!” s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu warned sternly.

“Yes!”

“You may go down now.”

An Xiaoning heard the sounds of footsteps leaving and the door being closed gently. Not long after, the lights were switched on again, which meant the master switch had been repaired.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu picked up the telephone on the headboard and dialed a number before saying, “Bring me a cup of plain water.”

Soon, the door opened gently and a female servant entered with a gla.s.s of plain water, which she placed beside the bed.

“I’m going to get some rest now. No one is allowed to disturb me,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu instructed.

“Yes, Madam.”

After the female servant left, s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu got down from the bed and locked the door from the inside. She then took a few sips of water and placed the gla.s.s onto the table.

Finally, she lay down in bed, seemingly much more relaxed.

However, the lights were not switched off yet.

An Xiaoning remained still as a statue in the closet and peeked out of the closet through the tiny crack.

Although s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu was lying down, she could not fall asleep.

An Xiaoning had no choice but to wait for s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu to fall asleep before exiting the closet.

Thus, she continued to wait until it was two hours past midnight.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu finally dozed off.

An Xiaoning supported herself up, despite her limbs having already gone numb, and climbed out of the closet.

Under the rays of the light, she stared at s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu’s face and inched closer toward the bed.

One would only lose control of their consciousness when they’re in deep sleep. During the initial stages of the sleep cycle, five percent of people are resistant toward hypnosis. Such people would never be susceptible no matter how hard you try to hypnotize them.

Majority of those who have been hypnotized would not remember anything that happened during the span of the hypnosis after they snap out of it.

It would be rather difficult to hypnotize someone when they’re asleep, not only because consent is not granted, but also due to the fact that hypnosis would fail to occur if the subject is not completely asleep yet. Thus, such hypnotic techniques could only be used during light sleep.

An Xiaoning was feeling rather nervous and jittery since she had no idea if s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu belonged to that five percent of the human population.

She bent forward and leaned closer toward s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu. She first murmured some profound hypnotic language that she had learned from the book and proceeded to turn on the video function on her mobile phone once she noticed that s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu had completely relaxed her mind. “There are no sounds here to disturb you now. Apart from my voice, there’s nothing you can hear and it’s completely silent around you. Imagine that you’re floating on the surface of the ocean, how peaceful and relaxing. You’re paddling along the waves using your hands…”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu extended her arms and began paddling while lying on the bed, as if she were a puppet. An Xiaoning lit up with joy and said, “Is the ocean vast?”

“Yes,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu answered.

Upon hearing her answer, An Xiaoning continued to guide her, “Continue to paddle forward and you’ll see your family calling out to you from another boat. Take a look at them, who do you see?”

“Father, Mother…”

“Is your sister there too?”

“She’s not my sister!” s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu exclaimed agitatedly, though it was not too loud since her voice was faint.

“Could you tell me what she looks like now?”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu chuckled with her eyes tightly shut and said, “Her clothes are tattered and torn, with bloodstains all over them. She’s shackled to chains and her hair is unkempt and dry like weed. She hasn’t brushed her hair in ages. What’s the use of being pretty…”
