"You...," Yang Zi's voice interrupted Shiyi from completing his sentence.

"I recall seeing a red high heel at the place Guangzhou was standing. The way he was acting was suspicious looked as if he was trying to hide the one leg of the shoe from me," Yang Zi said, opening her eyes.

​​

"Red high heels? That means someone else was there before you arrived...,"

"And that person happens to be a woman," Shiyi completed the sentence from her.

"But there is a possibility that the shoes must have been there for a long time, don't you think so?" Shiyi said, dashing Shui Shui's hope with his words.

"Although I only got a glimpse of the shoe, I am sure that it was not an old shoe. The colour of the shoe was shiny so I am certain it was that night the shoe was left there," Yang Zi said with confidence. She stared at their faces for answers.

"Your men said Zhao Liying was in the hospital at the time of the incident so, if it wasn't Zhao Liying who is the owner of the shoe then who else hates your mum to the point that she can't stand seeing your mum alive?" Shui Shui asked, staring at Yang Zi for answers. Yang Zi abruptly stood up when she heard Shui Shui's question.

"Who else could it be if not that mother and daughter?" Yang Zi said clenching her fist.

"I am certain that the person my men saw lying on the bed was not Zhao Liying but her substitute. I am sure both mother and daughter might have planned this. They both schemed and murdered my mum coldbloodedly," Yang Zi said gritting her teeth in fury. The killing intent in her eyes could not miss their notice.

"The mother wanted to get rid of the woman who she considered a thorn in her flesh while the daughter aided her mum because she knew that there is no way Feng and I will be together if I suspect him of being my mum's murderer. I am sure Feng also went there to save my mum but he arrived there at a bad time. He ended up being framed by them," Yang Zi said in anger.

"If they had planned to frame Feng from the beginning, I am sure even though you had not met him there that night they would have left Feng's belongings there that would make you suspect him of your mother's death," Shui Shui said, as she stood up and went to meet Yang Zi.

"What a perfect crime," Shiyi exclaimed in anger.

"So they thought they could kill my mum and go unscathed?" Yang Zi asked fiercely.

"If they thought that I was some weakling they could pick on and go scot-free then there are very wrong about who I am," Yang Zi said, as she turned and walked towards the entrance. Shui Shui hurried after her and grabbed her hand before she could walk further away.

"What are you planning to do?" Shui Shui asked.

"I will kill the both of them coldbloodedly just like they killed my mum but don't worry I won't give them such an easy death. I will make sure to shoot them after torturing them," Yang Zi said, an evil grin appearing on her face. She tried to walk away but Shui Shui's grip around her hand tightened not allowing her to move an inch.

"Shui Shui, don't you dare stop me," Yang Zi said coldly.

"I am not stopping you. I want to tell you that before you walk out of here, you should think about Mi Er. That little girl just lost her mother, she can't bear to lose you too so, please consider your decision for her sake," Shui Shui tried to dissuade her.

"Although I also want to see them die the most painful death possible, I suggest you think about Mi Er. She loves you way too much to lose you," Shiyi supported her.

Yang Zi behaved as if she was thinking.

"Ok, I won't do anything so let go of me," Yang Zi said as she stared at Shui Shui's hand which was holding her hand.

"You promise, right?" Shui Shui asked suspiciously.

"Let go Shui Shui, I'm tired. I want to sleep," Yang Zi said, not giving her the answers she was expecting. Shui Shui who knew how stubborn her best friend was, refused to let go of her hand.

"Shui Shui stop being stubborn and let go of her hand. Zi Er's hasn't been able to sleep for the past days so, let her have some rest Ok?" Shiyi tries to persuade.

Shui Shui

reluctantly let go of Yang Zi's hand. Her sad expression was evident that she did not like the fact that Yang Zi did not give her an answer.

"You guys can go home today. I will take care of things over here. Shui Shui, I am sure that uncle misses you a lot since you haven't visited him for months so go home today and you too Shiyi," Yang Zi said, as she walked back to the couch.

"But...,"

"This is an order and not a request," Yang Zi said sternly.

"Shui Shui, let's go," Shiyi said as he grabbed her hand.

"Don't touch me and don't talk to me," Shui Shui said harshly, as she shoved Shiyi's hand away and walked out of the room.

"Shiyi, don't take her tantrums seriously. I will make sure she doesn't get mad at you anymore," Yang Zi said as she signalled him to run after her.

After taking a last glance at Yang Zi, Shiyi rushed out of the room and ran after Shui Shui. Unfortunately, he couldn't catch up to her.

Yang Zi who pretended as though she wanted to sleep, stood up from the bed and walk around the room. Memories of how she normally chatted and played with her mum in the room popped into her head.
