Although An Xiaoning was not in the mood to go to the police station, she had no choice but to do so. “Go back to the old mansion to ask your father about it. I have to make a trip to the police station.”
Jin Qingyan walked toward her and kissed her before saying, “Be careful when driving. I have to go now.”
She nodded.
Jin Qingyan returned to the Jin family mansion to see that Mr. Jin was still boiling with fury. Upon the sight of Jin Qingyan, Mr. Jin questioned angrily, “What do you want now?”
“Father, I have something to ask you about.”
“No, I’m not going to answer your questions.”
“Father…” Jin Qingyan had no choice but to tell him about the treasure map. He then continued to ask, “You must answer me truthfully. Is there a way to activate this jade ring?”
Mr. Jin finally understood the reason for his actions. His anger began to dissipate and he answered, “I really don’t know about that. Our ancestors never told us about any ways to activate it.”
“Are there any recounts or stories about the jade ring passed down by our ancestors? I want to know everything about it.”
“There aren’t many records, but there are some pieces of information about it. Go look for them in the study. There’s a brief description of the jade ring in the black book on the top shelf.”
Jin Qingyan immediately proceeded to retrieve the book. He then sat on the couch and began browsing through it.
The truth was that there was barely any information about the jade ring.
He learned nothing from the conversation with Mr. Jin.
Hence, Jin Qingyan was filled with perplexion and bewilderment.
Although he had a strong feeling that the precious family heirloom served a greater purpose than what it seemed to on the surface, he could not seem to discover any changes apart from the discoloration.
It was a tricky problem that had to be solved.
….
As soon as Pan Zhenghui heard that An Xiaoning had arrived at the police station, he scurried toward the Special Investigation Unit joyfully to inform the team members that An Xiaoning was about to start investigating on the second case.
“I’ve already gone abroad to meet Chen Anran. Here’s the recording of the conversation that we had.” Pointing at the chair, An Xiaoning said, “Bureau Chief Pan, have a seat and listen to the recording.”
Pan Zhenghui immediately did as he was told.
Ding Liang closed the door of the office and returned to his seat.
An Xiaoning played the recording, which could be heard clearly because of how quiet the room was.

Everyone listened to the recording carefully, and so did An Xiaoning.
At the end of it, An Xiaoning said, “With this statement from the horse’s mouth, we now have more than enough evidence. Hence, I plan to trim this recording and cut out the redundant parts before sending a copy of it to Chen Anran’s family. I believe that once they hear the recording, they’ll look me up very soon. However, if what Chen Anran said was true, her behavior had exposed another underlying truth, although that’s no excuse for her ruthless act. The truth is that one should never try and push others over the edge or drive them into a corner, for the consequences would be dire. It’s all human nature. The Chen family has caused a hindrance in the proceedings of this case simply because they’re afraid of ruining their reputation. I’ll see what they say when they come to look for me in the future.”
Pan Zhenghui sighed and said, “Ah… although it’s wrong to say this at this time, if what Chen Anran said was true, the victim Jiang Guoguo was truly a horrendous person.”
“There’s always something detestable about someone, no matter how victimized they may be. I came here just to let you guys hear this recording. I’ll be trimming it and sending a copy to the Chen family alter. I’ll then wait and see what they do next.”
Pan Zhenghui agreed, “Sure, go ahead, Xiaoning. Thank you.”
An Xiaoning stood up and left straight away.
After instructing her subordinates to trim the voice recording, she mailed it to the Chen family via express courier. She had even typed out a message that was attached inside the letter. She then waited patiently.
To her disappointment, she did not receive any news from the Chen family even after a long time. However, An Xiaoning was certain that they must be talking about a suitable strategy.
She continued to research and look into the jade ring together with Jin Qingyan.
They could not find anything even after racking their brains.
The pair switched on the heater and lay down on the bed, staring at each other quietly, almost getting lost in each other’s mesmerizing eyes.
“What do we do?”
He answered, “We’ll just let nature take its course. Let’s not scare ourselves.”
“But I’m worried.”
“Don’t be, we can’t view that letter in such a negative light. I’ve thought about it carefully. Why don’t we look at it from a different perspective? Master Jin Yuanzhi only mentioned that the treasure that the map leads to is this jade ring and that the ring is showing its effects when it can’t be removed. However, he didn’t specify what the effects and powers of the ring are. He didn’t say that I wouldn’t live past 35 years old either, did he? These are all our assumptions. We’re not prophets or clairvoyants. Assuming and jumping to conclusions will only make us scared for no reason. Perhaps that’s not what Jin Yuanzhi meant.”
However, his words did not manage to convince or comfort An Xiaoning. “Qingyan, I’ve memorized everything Xiao Chenyang said. It’s true that there’s always someone who’s far more invincible than us in this world. Just because we don’t know who they are, it doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. Do you still remember those blood-feeding tribes in V Nation whom I told you about?”
“Didn’t you say that they work under Chenyang?”
“You have no idea how terrifying those people are. It’s as if they have nine lives or something, and they can’t be killed by guns or knives. They don’t die even after falling from a great height. Aren’t they formidable? I know you possess great powers now but I’m afraid that you’d be attacked by someone better. Besides, we don’t even know what dangers there may be around us. That’s the scariest part of it all. I really hope that this is just a false alarm and a wild guess of ours. I really hope that it’s not true at all.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll take things in our stride and deal with the problem when we face it. When Grandma gave me this ring, she told me that it recognizes its owner and that it had been protecting our family’s life and bloodline…”
“Look, I’m not just scaring myself. Your ancestor said that when you can no longer remove the ring, it means that the powers of the ring are in effect. That means the effects are showing now. We have no idea how your ancestor had gotten hold of this treasure, but since it’s a treasure, someone else probably knows about it too.”
They immediately put an end to their conversation.
Xiao Bai knocked on the door and said, “Young Madam, the members of the Chen family from B City are here to see you.”
An Xiaoning immediately got out of bed and said, “Got it, I’ll go downstairs immediately.”
She adjusted her clothes, combed her hair, and put on some lipstick before making her way downstairs.
Meanwhile, Jin Qingyan turned around and lay down, staring at the jade ring on his finger quietly.
