“Of course.”

Yu Yiwei whipped her mobile phone out to call Xihou Jiaping, and she felt a glimmer of hope and joy when the call went through. However, at the instant that she heard Jin Qingyan’s voice, all her hopes were dashed…

Refusing to resign herself to fate, she proceeded to call the headquarters of M Nation. “Has he returned yet?”

“No…”

Just as she was about to continue asking, An Xiaoning snatched her mobile phone away and ended the call.

Yu Yiwei felt a lump forming in her throat. After a long pause, she said, “You guys have won.”

If Xihou Jiaping were still around, she would have never admitted defeat.

Now that he was dead, on what grounds could she deny it?

If Xihou Jiaping couldn’t defeat them, she obviously couldn’t either…

“I’m Yin Cun,” she admitted.

Old Mr. Yin’s eyes widened in shock as he asked, “You’re really Ancestor Yin Cun?”

“Yes, I am Yin Cun’s… reincarnation. It pains me to see that the huge Yin family that had once consisted of more than a thousand members has now been reduced to such a state, with barely any descendants left. I never expected that I would be able to meet you guys face to face. I’ve never thought about revealing this secret to you either. However, it seems I have no choice but to do so today.”

“Please… have a seat.”

Yu Yiwei sat down and looked at An Xiaoning. “Aren’t you going to take a seat?” she asked.

“I prefer standing,” said An Xiaoning.

Yu Yiwei shifted her gaze onto old Mr. Yin and asked, “Are the portraits and letter that I had left inside my coffin still around now?”

Old Mr. Yin answered, “No, they’ve been incinerated.”

“Good. Those were portraits of Ms. An’s and Jin Qingyan’s incarnations from their previous lifetime. In their previous lifetime, the Yin family was highly respected and enjoyed the admiration of the Emperor, who valued us greatly. Our family had always been fiercely loyal to the royals, and we had been serving them throughout the Emperor’s reign. When Jin Qingyan’s residence was raided during the previous lifetime, all of the souls in the residence… had been trapped by us. I don’t have anything else to say. I just hope that the Yin family bloodline will not cease.”

Old Mr. Yin nodded and said, “I hope so too.”

“That’s all I have to say.”

She stood up again and asked, “Ms. An, may we leave now?”

“Yes. No. 5, No. 8, bring Dr. Yu with you and wait for me outside the door. I have something to say to the Yin family.”

“Yes, Sis.”

After the three of them left, An Xiaoning said briefly, “This matter has completely come to an end. If you can’t keep this entirely to yourself, I’ll have no choice but to use another method to keep your lips sealed. However, I hope I won’t have to do so.”

“That goes without saying, Ms. An. Rest assured, we won’t wash our dirty linen in public. Ms. An, if a single detail about this matter gets leaked, you’re free to hold us responsible.”

“I won’t say anything else since you’ve already given me your assurance, Sir. Yin Cun has reincarnated into Yu Yiwei, and she’s a member of the DK terrorist organization. There’s an internationally recognized law that allows the general public to kill any terrorists without facing any charges. I won’t repeat myself again. I’m sorry to have imposed on your peaceful life for the past couple of months, but I hope you’ll learn a lesson from Yin Cun’s wrongdoings and never use your supernatural powers to harm anyone again. Do commit more kind deeds and accumulate more merit. That’s the only way you can bring about a positive change in your descendants’ fate.”

“We’ll bear your words in mind, Ms. An.” The elderly patriarch sighed and continued, “Perhaps you are thinking that our ancestors were experts in witchcraft and other supernatural rituals, but our descendants have long stopped practising them. Though we do engage in them secretly from time to time, it’s no longer an open profession. My grandchildren are against these superstitions, and I’ve decided to let them be in charge of their own lives.”

“I shall take my leave now, then. You don’t have to walk me out.”

An Xiaoning turned around and left.

Despite her refusal, the Yin family nonetheless rose from their seats to walk her out of the door.

They then watched her car leave.

When they returned inside the house, old Mr. Yin said to his grandsons, “Have you guys remembered everything Ms. An said?”

His eldest son answered, “Yes, Father. Although we know that people do undergo reincarnation in their afterlife, we really didn’t expect that she would still remember the events from the previous lifetime.”

His second son asked, “Father, are there only very few people who can retain their memory of their previous lifetime?”

“Of course. Not everyone can remember things from their previous lifetime. If they could, the world would be in chaos.”

“…”

An Xiaoning brought Yu Yiwei to a hotel. When they entered a hotel room, Yu Yiwei asked, “What do you plan to do with me?”

“Dr. Yu, you’ll have to answer a question of mine before I answer yours. What’s your motive for approaching us under the pretext of being a psychiatrist?”

Yu Yiwei answered, “When he found out that you guys were secretly searching for a psychiatrist to treat Jin Qingyan’s disorder, he thought that it would be a good opportunity to take action. Hence, he arranged for me to approach you guys, and I managed to be transferred here successfully from M Nation. He wanted me to just stay near you two and gain your trust before taking action.”

“What did you do? Were there issues with the drugs that you had given Qingyan?” asked An Xiaoning, who immediately thought of the medication.

“Yes.”

“Oh. Fortunately, Qingyan didn’t ingest a single pill. I’ve replaced all of them with placebos.”

“Did you already suspect me at that time?” Yu Yiwei asked in surprise. No wonder the drugs didn’t seem to take effect.

“No, I just found out about it. Qingyan was the one who smelled a rat first. When you called Xihou Jiaping, your name appeared on his mobile phone.”

She nodded and kept her cool. “Can you answer me now? What are you planning to do with me?”

“Don’t you already know? Drink this,” An Xiaoning said, handing her a bottle of chemical.

Yu Yiwei grabbed the bottle with trembling hands and asked, “May I give my family a call?”

After some thought, An Xiaoning said, “You may meet them one last time. Tell them your preferred arrangements for your funeral and leave your savings for them.”

Surprised to hear her words, Yu Yiwei asked, “Aren’t you afraid that I would escape?”

“Yu Yiwei, if I’ve set my mind to killing you, do you really think you can escape? It’s better to let your parents know that you’ve killed yourself. After all, they’re already old in their years and they should spend the rest of their lives in peace. Your sister is doing pretty well too. Don’t let your past mistakes implicate them. It’s better that you keep some things from them, lest you bring them unnecessary woes and misery.”

“I know. I won’t escape. I’ll keep my promise,” she said, staring at An Xiaoning.

“Okay, you may go.”

After Yu Yiwei left, No. 5 asked, “Sis, aren’t you afraid that she would run away?”
