3. Achoo!

"Keep looking she should be here! Cover the perimeter!" the man wearing black suit said. She is at the tree for an hour now and they are still chasing after her.

"Achoo!"

She sneezed because of how cold the night is but several men hear her sneeze so they all look up to their location.

"She is there. She is at the tree! Go up there!" They found her and started going up to the tree.

"Please don't. please!" She is sobbing because of fear that what might happen to her.

"Ms. Lu, go down here. The madam wants to see you. You didn't inform the main mansion that the Matriarch died miserably we are tasked to get you to know the details of her death, to punish the perpetrator, and your family is now grieving so please stop playing around and come down here" said the man who is commanding from the start which looks like a leader.

"You are going to punish the one who killed grandma?" she is basically desperate to punish the people who killed grandma Liao, they reported to the police but the police cannot also find the suspect. Now that she is given a chance to punish those animals. Should she let the opportunity escape?

"I will come out but you have to promise me, you will catch the perpetrator and punish them ok?"

"Yes miss that is our mission in the first place"

Xinghe gets down at the trees and soon someone bring her coat

"Miss please get in the car"

She is hesitating, grandma Liao tells her that she shouldn't come back to the main mansion but she wants to avenge her grandmother

"Miss?"

"Okay"

She gets in to the car and the leader seat at the shotgun seat. After an hour of driving, they arrive at some small house which is obviously not the main mansion.

"This is the main mansion?" she asked.

"No miss, this us our headquarters here. The main mansion is 12 hours away from if we used car but we will be able to get there by one hour if e use chopper"

"Oh. Okay."

"Fang" the name of the man who is driving their car "I still have some questions to her. Step outside for a minute" said their leader. Fang furrowed his brows confusion is in his face. "Just listen, I still need to learn how the Matriarch died"

What? Isn't it why we are going to the main house? Why is he need to learn it now? Could it be? I'm fooled?

"You fooled me? You used my grandmother's name to fooled me? Where is your conscience? You are such a shameless man! How can you do this?"

"Miss listen to me, I have to look like I'm hard to you. I have to look like I'm hurting you because that's how it should be. The moment you step at that door, your death is inevitable. Your auntie is in there who will try to make you drink a poison so what ever it is don't drink it ok? The Yu family will come to save you, I'm sorry this is all I could do for you"

"What? Who are you? Why? How?"

"I am the guard of your father. I am devoted to serve your father which is why no one from the Lu family can harm you when you are in the village. My loyalty is yours, we still have plans to execute so I cannot protect you at the front for now but I will be, so please cooperate miss"

"Okay. Thank you"

They both step outside and head to the house. The interior of the house looks modern. They are greeted with an elegant woman who looks like an angel.

"Xiao xing? What happened to you? Auntie miss you so much" the girl wallks up to them lovingly and attempted to hug her but then see that she is so dirty so the woman just pretended to just hold her shoulders.

"Xiao Xing you are so tall know, it is almost 9 years when I last saw you, how are you? come here we have so much to talk" The woman hold her hand and walk her to the living room.

If she didn't know any better. She would be fooled by this girl's acting skills. Might as well ride along, maybe her death will be postponed!

"Um, excuse me but who are you?" Xia Xinghe said after the girl finished talking.

"Y-you don't know me?" the woman asked while looking so hurt.

"I am your auntie Xuelo ah. You are so mean, you didn't know me!"

"I'm sorry auntie. I'm just probably a kid when I last saw you so I didn't know who are you but anyways nice meeting you auntie." she smiled indifferently. What did she take me for? I am the goddess of acting in our village! I can also act hmp!

"Oh right, you have a point! Come Xiao xing, try this one! This tea is my favorite, I'm sure this one will also be your favorite!"

Auntie Xuelo get her cup of tea and sip it elegantly.

"I'm sorry auntie, but I am allergic to that"

She said apologetically. Even if she loves tea, she is still allergic to poison ah!

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know, how about coffee? or Juice? what do you like?" said Xuelo who was basically panicking.

"Auntie actually I don't want to drink anything I just want to rest"

The woman's face is so dark that an ink could drip any moment. Her patience is running thin. Why is it that a country bumpkin so hard to handle?

"What is wrong with you!? I'm offering something to you to make you warm and you are making excuses?" the woman abruptly stand up.
