The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 256 Catching the Adulterer (1)_1
Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Catching the Adulterer (1)_1
Situ Xin hung up the phone and comforted her aunt-in-law, "Auntie, don’t worry, we’ll have the results soon."
Not long after Situ Xin had comforted her aunt-in-law, her phone rang. Picking it up, she saw it was from Xia Yujie. In her mind, she nodded in approval of Xia Yujie’s efficiency and asked, "How did the investigation go?"
"At noon, your uncle Loo Jianxin was dining at Broadway with a woman who appeared to be about his age. Moreover, according to the restaurant, your uncle has been seen entering and leaving Broadway with that woman quite often. As for the woman’s name, I’m not sure yet. Miss, if you want her details, I can look them up for you. Right, your uncle is currently at Longcheng Garden, Block A, room 308."
Situ Xin hadn’t expected Xia Yujie to not only act so quickly but also to have found her uncle’s current location. "Okay, find out everything you can about that woman for me. I want details."
After ending the call with Xia Yujie, Situ Xin immediately picked up the phone and dialed her uncle Loo Jianxin’s number. She had already convinced herself that her uncle must be up to something after hearing Xia Yujie’s information. Yet at this moment, she still wanted to probe her uncle’s intent.
Once the phone connected, Situ Xin pretended as if nothing had happened and asked in her usual tone, "Uncle, what are you up to?"
"Baby? I’m at the office. Why are you calling me at this hour?" Loo Jianxin was quite surprised to receive Situ Xin’s call, but as soon as he finished speaking, Situ Xin heard a woman’s voice on the phone.
Although the voice was faint, Situ Xin still caught the woman’s words, "Jianxin, whose call is it?" The coquettishness in the voice made Situ Xin’s skin crawl.
However, Situ Xin acted as if she hadn’t heard and exchanged a few pleasantries with her uncle before hanging up the phone.
While Situ Xin was on the phone, Lu Juan had been watching her the entire time. As soon as Situ Xin hung up, she urgently asked, "Baby, what’s going on?"
Without directly answering Lu Juan’s question, Situ Xin stood up and said to her, "Auntie, come with me. Some things are better asked in person." After Situ Xin finished speaking, Lu Juan felt a sudden sense of foreboding, "Baby,"
Lu Juan called after Situ Xin and opened her mouth as if to speak, but no words came out.
"Auntie, don’t worry, no matter what happens, I’m on your side. And it’s not just me—we all are," Situ Xin said earnestly. Although Loo Jianxin was her uncle, if he was in the wrong, she would definitely stand by her aunt. Moreover, there was Loo Bun to think about.
When Situ Xin and Lu Juan went downstairs, fortunately, there was no one around; all the elderly had gone out to play. This relieved Situ Xin, as she didn’t want people to see her aunt’s swollen eyes and ask questions that could escalate the situation out of control.
Situ Xin felt that, until her uncle’s infidelity was confirmed, this matter should not be disclosed to the family.
The car Situ Xin and Lu Juan took was the same one Lu Juan had used to return earlier from the company. As soon as they got in the car, Situ Xin instructed the driver, "To Longcheng Garden."
Upon hearing the address Situ Xin gave, Lu Juan was convinced her husband was cheating. It looked like he was already buying an apartment with another woman. At that moment, Lu Juan’s heart ached tremendously, but despite the pain, her eyes were dry of tears.
Worried, Situ Xin looked at Lu Juan and wanted to console her, yet she found herself unable to express the comforting words. The car stopped at the Block A of Longcheng Garden. Situ Xin and Lu Juan got out of the vehicle and saw Loo Jianxin’s car as soon as they descended. Even with mental preparation, Lu Juan’s face went pale in an instant.
Situ Xin’s face, on the other hand, was grim. Arriving at the staircase leading to Block A, she noted that Longcheng Garden had been developed by the Dragon Society’s construction company, so each building’s staircase was equipped with a password lock, quite advanced for the time.
But no matter how advanced, the security system was designed by Situ Xin. Therefore, cracking the code was a piece of cake for her. One could see her fingers flying over the keypad. No one could make out exactly what she was pressing when suddenly they heard a "beep," and the door opened.
"Auntie, let’s go," Situ Xin said, and she took the lead going upstairs.
Arriving at the third floor, Situ Xin found room 308 as described by Xia Yujie. Without knocking, because she knew that even if she did, the person inside would surely ask, "Who is it?" and might not be willing to open the door.
Situ Xin took out a key from her bag, then calmly inserted it into the lock as if it were her own home. Following behind her, Lu Juan witnessed this and intended to stop her.
But before she could say anything, the door opened with a "clang."
"Auntie, come on," Situ Xin signaled to Lu Juan, who was staring in amazement, to follow her, and then she strutted in.
As Situ Xin and Lu Juan walked in through the doorway and into the living room. They saw Loo Jianxin, with his arm around a woman.
Lu Juan burst out in anger, screaming at Loo Jianxin, "Loo Jianxin, what are you doing?"
Meanwhile, Situ Xin moved quickly; as soon as Lu Juan raised her voice, Situ Xin’s two silver needles were already in flight—one aimed at her uncle’s wrist and the other driven into the woman’s body. The needle that pierced the woman’s body was specially treated by Situ Xin and, unlike the needle aimed at her uncle, which left half exposed, the needle shot at the woman sank completely into her flesh.
And just after the two needles were launched, Situ Xin and Lu Juan heard a "thud" as the woman fell to the floor. At that moment, Loo Jianxin had no chance to care about the fallen woman. As soon as Lu Juan shouted, he looked up to see the arriving Situ Xin and Lu Juan and was stunned. novelbuddy.cσ๓
