Chapter 87 One should be like an eagle soaring in the sky.
night.

Jian Ning received a call from someone claiming to be from a classified intelligence investigation team.

"Actually, our investigation team has been secretly following up on Su Shijian's case, but we've been hampered by insufficient evidence. Ms. Jian, the evidence you've provided so far is still inadequate. Do you have any more?"

Wenli, who was standing to the side, grabbed Jian Ning's hand and gave her a look. She was worried that this was someone from Su Shijian's side, deliberately trying to get information out of them and test how many cards they still had up their sleeves.

Wenli is more thoughtful and cautious than Jianning.

Jian Ning asked calmly, "How do you prove your identity?"

The person on the other end of the phone spoke in a serious tone: "Many of our investigations are conducted in secret, so we may not be able to verify our identities. If you have more evidence, we can discuss it in person. As long as the evidence is sufficient, we can cooperate with the authorities to quickly open a case against Su Shijian."

Jian Ning yawned sleepily, "Okay, it's getting late, let's contact each other again tomorrow."

The other party replied in a deep, magnetic voice, "Okay, I'll contact you again tomorrow during the day."

The phone hangs up.

Wenli frowned and said, "Ningning, I have no other evidence."

"It's okay." Jian Ning patted the back of her hand to reassure her.

If there is no other evidence, just ask Su Shih-chien himself.

In the early hours of the morning, Jian Ning changed into the same black outfit she wore last time and went out again.

Linshan Villa District, a luxury area in the northern part of the city.

"Meow~" Ningning, what brings you here?

The calico cat was crouching over a mouse in the rain when it smelled a familiar scent, looked up, and saw Jian Ning.

Jian Ning saw the familiar cat and greeted it, "Little calico, I'm here to see Su Shijian."

The calico cat immediately stopped even the mouse from crouching and strode ahead proudly to lead the way.

"Meow~" Follow this king.

Jian Ning followed the experienced Xiao Sanhua and rushed to the Su family villa.

Strange noises were coming from the room on the second floor.

The calico cat reached out its paw and scratched Jian Ning's foot, comforting her.

"Meow~" Don't be afraid, it's the sound of humans striving to reproduce.

Jian Ning stood there awkwardly: "..."

"You little rascal, you know quite a lot."

The calico cat took it as a compliment and meowed. Of course, I often peeked. The woman was nice; she would feed me when she saw me. But she would steal things, hiding them in her mattress.

Jian Ning patted its little head, "No little trick can escape your sharp eyes."

"Meow~" Of course, just wait a little longer, that man won't last long, he'll be done in a minute each time.

As expected, the noise inside the house stopped after Xiao Sanhua gave it a heads-up.

Then came the rustling sounds of people getting up.

Su Shih-chien said, "I'll go wash up first."

Jian Ning chose the right moment and darted in through the window.

The woman, who had just put on her nightgown and was about to leave the room, saw Jian Ning. She wasn't frightened at all; instead, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she hurriedly put her index finger to her lips, making a "shh" gesture.

Then, he pointed to the washroom where the sound of running water could be heard.

He gestured to Jian Ning, saying that Su Shijian was inside.

Jian Ning was completely bewildered by the woman's actions. What was going on?
Jian Ning's divine sense could detect that there were only two people in the entire house. Perhaps because she hadn't made any moves for a long time, Su Shijian relaxed his guards and didn't have the bodyguards and the Taoist priest follow her.

Her original intention was to tie them both up and then torture them to extract evidence.

The woman glanced at the open window and asked softly, "Could you come to my room? It's the maid's room at the end of the hallway. I have something for you."

Her words carried a hint of pleading. Jian Ning saw that she seemed quite sincere and nodded.

The woman then opened the door and went out.

When she returned to the nanny's room, Jian Ning was already sitting leisurely in a chair, watching her with a relaxed air.

The women were somewhat surprised by how quickly the other party had acted, but they quickly composed themselves.

“I know you. You’re Jian Ning. I saw you forwarding those messages about Su Shijian online.” The woman stepped forward, lowered her voice, and introduced herself: “You can call me Xiao Mei. There are some things I can’t do alone. I was planning to find an opportunity to meet you, but I didn’t expect you to come tonight.”

She walked to the bedside, lifted a corner of the heavy mattress, reached her hand into a hole under the mattress, groped around for a while, and pulled out a pile of letters.

She placed them one by one on the small table next to Jian Ning. "These are the letters he exchanged with Watanabe Jiro. He always made me burn them, but I secretly replaced them. They don't leave any information online; they only communicate in person or by letter. It was not easy for me to gain his trust."

Jian Ning looked at the neatly arranged envelopes, opened one, and read it. They were all in a foreign language, which she couldn't understand…

Then fold it up and put it in an envelope, carefully placing the whole stack of envelopes into his long sleeve.

Jian Ning asked curiously, "Why did you help me? We don't seem to know each other before this."

Xiao Mei gave a wry smile, sat down on the other chair, and gazed wistfully.

"I just want to avenge my sister."

Jian Ning looked at her intently.

Xiaomei recalled the past slowly and said, "In the past, due to the one-child policy, rural families could only have a maximum of two children. I was the second child. After my parents gave birth to me, they sent my older sister away. This way, they could pretend that they only had one daughter and then try to have a son."

“When I was little, I didn’t know I had an older sister. I just met a senior who was really nice to me. She would bring me food and give me a few cents for pocket money from time to time. She was a very good student and was the first girl in our county to be admitted to Beihua University.”

"After she came to Beicheng to study, she always wrote to me, encouraging me to study hard and telling me all of this."

"Although my sister was given away several times, she was very lucky. Her adoptive parents treated her very well. I don't dare to disturb her life, for fear that my parents will find out how successful she is now."

"If our parents find out, they will definitely disturb my sister's life."

"My sister is so outstanding and dazzling. In my heart, she should be like an eagle soaring in the sky, and not be entangled by these vampires."

"As for me, I dropped out of high school. My parents thought it was useless for girls to study, since they would all marry into other families anyway. Because my older sister was studying in Beicheng, I also went to Beicheng to find a job."

"But when we met again, I never expected that my sister was already terminally ill in the hospital."

“It was Su Shijian who caused this!” Xiaomei said, her expression agitated, gritting her teeth. “It was originally a normal cancer prevention experiment, but my sister got this disease and was sent to the hospital by Su Shijian for treatment. They used my sister’s body to test the drugs.”

“I didn’t have much education, and I was young at the time, so I didn’t understand these things. I just felt something was wrong.”

“My sister left very quickly, in less than three months. She trusted me the most. When we met for the second time, she wrote everything down in a letter and told me that if I had the chance, I must tell the truth to prevent other innocent people from being persecuted.”

Xiaomei burst into tears, covering her face, and said in a pained voice, "But how could I have that power? I saw with my own eyes the parents of children who suffered the same fate as my sister being locked up. At that time, I knew that this was a protracted battle."

Jian Ning handed her a piece of paper and comforted her, "Cry, it's not necessarily a bad thing to let out your pain."

Xiaomei took the paper, wiped away her tears, and choked out, "Until I saw you speaking out with the other victims, I knew my chance had come too."

Jian Ning touched the envelope hidden in her sleeve. "I will hand this evidence over to the person who can try Su Shijian."

Xiaomei: "Thank you."

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the room.

Su Shijian's voice came from outside.

"How can you run so fast?"

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the lock turning on the door of the nanny's room rang out.

Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat.

The door lock, which was turned, couldn't be turned open immediately because it was deadbolted.

Su Shijian pounded on the door, making a loud banging sound.

"Why is the door locked?"
