Xiao Meng walked into the room while talking to her best friend. "Xiang, the staff just told me that Xiang Ning stayed at this hotel with Zhao Zheng last night, but he already left before she died, and they didn't see anything suspicious about him."
"Zhao Zheng?" Sun Xiang turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "Isn't he Zhao Jing's cousin?"
"Yes." Xiao Meng replied with a nod. "Did you find any Qi remains in this hotel room?"
Sun Xiang sighed softly as she stood up. "I found one qi remnant, and the owner was the same person who came to Yao Wei's detention room."
"Did that person kill her?"
"Xiang Ning died of a heart attack." Sun Xiang then walked out. "Since she also died of natural causes, we don't need to interfere with both cases, and Chief Jiang can take care of everything himself."
"So, where are we going now?"
"Where else?" Sun Xiang replied with a shrug. "I will monitor Tang Yuan again, and you can go back to Tang House to monitor Tang Yin."

Two women were sitting together enjoying their coffee when Tang Yuan spoke to her best friend. "Sun Xiang and Xiao Mei suspected that Xiao'er was still alive, and they started monitoring me and Yin'er."
"Hehe." Feng Yao chuckled, as she had expected that the two women would act immediately. "Sun Xiang has sharp observation and instinct, so I wouldn't be surprised if she already suspected it, and she must have checked the bottom of the ravine. As for Xiao Meng, she's just a spoiled little girl, and she always depends on her best friend. Then what will Xiao'er do to them?"
"Nothing." Tang Yun answered by shaking her head. "Both women are stronger than him, so he doesn't want to face them for now. That's why I went back to my apartment last night, and Yin'er was supposed to stay at Tang House to stop their suspicion of us, but I'm sure they won't stop monitoring us."
"That's true." Both women raised their eyebrows after Feng Yao turned on the TV in her room, particularly since the news on TV broadcast the deaths of Yao Wei and Xiang Ning. "Do their deaths have anything to do with Xiao'er?"
"I think so." Tang Yuan replied as she watched the news. "Since they died of natural causes, Sun Xiang should not suspect Xiao'er of being involved in their deaths."
"How can Xiao'er kill them without harming them?"
"I don't know." Even though she answered like that, she suspected that Tang Yin was involved in their deaths. "Since Xiao'er returned, I've only met him once because he was infiltrating Ouyang House as a chauffeur, and he hasn't explained anything to me about his abilities, so I don't know how he managed to kill them."
"Then what about Yin'er? You should already know something about her abilities, right?"
"Yes." Tang Yuan did not deny that. "I'm sorry, Yao. I can't tell you about Yin'er's abilities because her abilities are unusual, and it would be better if few people knew about them, or else I wouldn't be able to protect her."
Feng Yao raised her eyebrows for a moment before nodding in understanding, and she could guess more or less about Tang Yin's abilities. "Even though I don't know about her abilities, you should guard her from Wang Fuxi, and you should ask her not to use her abilities carelessly, or she will notice them and hunt her down."
"I know."

At Meng House, two people slumped down after they saw the news about Yao Wei and Xiang Ning's deaths, but Yao Wenhua immediately stood up from the sofa while talking to her husband. "Yao'er probably already knows this news, and she must be sad now, so I will accompany and comfort her."
Meng Wuya nodded to his wife while focusing on the TV, resting his chin on his hand as he wondered. "What actually happened to them? How did they die suddenly? The news said that they didn't find any strange cause for their deaths, but I don't believe that they could die all of a sudden. However, Yao Wei was inside a prison with tight security, so no one could infiltrate there, let alone kill him. Xiang Ning does have a heart disease, but she should always carry her medicine."
Suddenly, Meng Wuya's smartphone rang, and he immediately left his house after talking to the caller for a while.

"What about Qing'er's condition, Wu Shuang?" Yi An worriedly asked the female doctor who was examining her daughter.
Wu Shuang turned her head to face Yi An and explained her thoughts. "Qing'er's illness is no different from smallpox, but smallpox shouldn't be able to spread this fast, and it takes several days to spread all over her body, so I'll take her blood to examine her condition in more detail. Although I'm not sure that they'll be of any use, I'll still give her some smallpox medicine, and it would be better if she stayed here for a while, or it will spread to you and the others."
"I hope you can cure Qing'er as soon as possible." After Wu Shuang left, Yi An turned to Tang Xiao. "You can leave for now, and I will wait for my daughter here."
"Yes, madam."
Yi An then looked at Su Rou, who was busy with her smartphone. "Contact Shen Tianhu and Wang Dong now, and you can tell them that I want to postpone the meeting until Qing'er and Ming'er recover. Additionally, contact Lin Yanxiu too and tell her that I can't fulfill Uncle Zhao's invitation."
"Yes."

After he left the hospital building, Tang Xiao searched for a quiet place before using the void dragon steps to return to Tang House, but he didn't linger there and took Tang Yin to another place because he had an appointment with Zhao Qing to interview several prospective employees.
At first, Tang Yin asked him to stay and accompany them to interview the women, but Tang Xiao refused and went straight to Xing Xing's apartment, and he took her into the ark.
After that, they went straight to the training ground, and Tang Xiao demonstrated a few things, especially about the basics of martial arts for Xing Xing, who was seriously watching him.
Tang Xiao then asked Xing Xing to practice on the side of the field first, and he decided to practice using the second level of the gravity device, which makes the gravity in the area three times heavier than normal.
"Tang Xiao!" Xing Xing screamed as soon as she saw him fall to the ground, and his expression looked distressed.
"Stop right there, Xing!" Tang Xiao stopped her because Xing Xing couldn't possibly withstand the gravity. "The gravity in this area is three times heavier, so you can't come here. I'm fine; I just need to adjust to this weight, so you don't need to worry about me."
"Are you really okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine! You just stand there and learn them first, and I'll help you practice once you understand them."
Xing Xing nodded in understanding and returned to the side before starting to study the basics of martial arts that Tang Xiao showed her before. 'Sigh, people would be jealous if they knew that I could learn everything easily, but I still have to train hard to master everything because I've never practiced martial arts before.'

Yao Wenhua arrived at Xiang Ning's house, but she released a heavy sigh after she saw Yao Yao hugging her legs on the sofa. The sound of her crying made her sad, and she went over and sat beside her.
Yao Yao hugged Yao Wenhua and she cried even harder. "Sob... Sob... Why did this have to happen to them? They were fine yesterday, and my mom was happy to see me, but now they're dead."
"Your mother did have a chronic heart disease, and the doctor had asked her to undergo surgery. I repeatedly persuaded her to undergo it, but she was never willing to listen to us, and her heart disease relapsed and caused her death." Yao Wenhua said as she rubbed Yao Yao back. "As for your father, I don't know what happened to him because he didn't have a history of serious illness, so we can only wait for the results of the police autopsy."
"Sob... how long will their autopsy process take?"
"It usually takes a few hours." Yao Wenhua lifted Yao Yao's head and wiped her tears. "I know you are sad about their deaths, and we haven't been able to find Shao'er. I hope you can be strong enough to overcome this ordeal, and I will accompany you to get through it."
"Sob…Sob…" Instead, Yao Yao buried her face into Yao Wenhua's chest again, and she continued to release heartbreaking cries.
Yao Wenhua inwardly sighed and took out her smartphone, and she contacted several people to prepare a ceremony for her brother and former sister-in-law. She also called several people to tell them of their deaths, but some already knew from the news.
Yao Wenhua then contacted another person, but she was shocked to learn that Yi An's two children were hospitalized. 'Our lives have always been calm and peaceful for the past two decades, and no one dared to disturb us. However, things suddenly changed for the worse, and many strange events happened in succession.'
"Sob... Aunty, I want to go to the hospital now, and I want to see my parents."
"All right, I'll take you there."
