Chapter 905: I Never Wanted to Hurt Anyone

Ning Shu picked up the phone. Aunt Ping hesitated for a moment, then she sat down on the other side of the thick glass and picked up the phone. “Miss.”

“Talk, who told you to do this?” Ning Shu got straight to the point. The fact that Aunt Ping did something like this meant that she had definitely been offered something that made it worth the risk.

This was a murder crime.

Aunt Ping covered the phone and shook her head without speaking.

“You should think things through properly. What you’ve done is an attempt of murder. You added poison to my dad’s food. This is intentional murder.” Ning Shu’s gaze was very stern as she looked at Aunt Ping.

Did the Miao family not treat Aunt Ping well? Had they ever been severe with Aunt Ping?

Never, but Aunt Ping had still been able to do something like this. Human greed was just this insatiable.

Aunt Ping’s facial color became even paler, making her seem very dispirited. “I never wanted to hurt anyone.”

“But what you hurt my dad,” said Ning Shu coldly. “You should think things through properly. Your son is about to graduate, but he has a murderer as a mother. What kind of prospects do you think your son will still have left then? Your son will resent you forever.”

Aunt Ping’s facial color was deathly pale and her entire body was trembling slightly. It was clear that her son was her weak spot. She started imploring Ning Shu, “This matter has nothing to do with my son! Please, don’t hurt my son!”

Aunt Ping cared about her son a lot. When she heard Ning Shu bring up her son, she started pleading desperately and saying that this matter had nothing to do with her son so please don’t hurt him.

Ning Shu took in Aunt Ping’s warm, caring mother manner with a cold expression. She just found it funny. What right did Aunt Ping have to ask something of others?

“You ask me not to hurt your son, but have you ever considered how your actions were hurting my dad? What if something actually happened to my dad? You ask me not to hurt your family, but you were hurting my family.”

Ning Shu really disliked the way Aunt Ping acted, like she was in the right just because she was weaker, like other people were all bad people. Even though she was clearly the one harming others.

Ning Shu said coldly, “I remember that your son’s about to graduate. I’ll make it so that he can no longer stay in this city, unless you tell me who it was that told you to do this?”

Aunt Ping’s tears streamed down her face, making her aged face seemed even more filled with despair. However, Ning Shu didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy.

Aunt Ping hadn’t been mentioned in the original storyline. Someone who’s worked in the Miao family for so many years was evidently a very insignificant person in the storyline. Who would’ve imagined that she was actually the one behind Father Miao’s death?

The original host had no idea of any of this, which was why Ning Shu’s attention had been completely focused on Zhang Jiasen when she entered this world.

If she hadn’t caught Zhang Jiasen talking about something with Aunt Ping that night and caught Aunt Ping adding that drug to the medicinal dish, she never would’ve known. This also answered some of the questions she had been wondering about.

Zhang Jiasen had people inside the Miao family.

Ning Shu knew that Aunt Ping had been carrying this out for Zhang Jiasen. Right now, she needed Aunt Ping’s oral confession.

Aunt Ping pressed her lips tightly together without speaking. The only words she would say were, “I’ve let down the master and madame. I’m so sorry.”

She had tried to hurt others for her own selfish desires, so what purpose did apologizing now serve? Ning Shu narrowed her eyes as she scrutinized Aunt Ping.

What kind of enticing terms would make Aunt Ping so determined not to confess things?

“I’ve never wanted to hurt the master, really!” After this entire exchange, this was still all that Aunt Ping would say.

Ning Shu just laughed coldly.

Zhang Jiasen had been waiting in front of the police station for a long time, but Ning Shu still hadn’t come out. The sun had already set. Zhang Jiasen’s gaze was unnaturally dark and cold as he stared at the doors.

His fists tightened, then loosened, then tightened and loosened again. There was an edgy aura around him.

When Ning Shu stepped out of the police station and saw that Zhang Jiasen was still waiting at the door, she didn’t say anything.

“Miaomiao, what exactly is going on? Why would Aunt Ping poison Dad? Did she tell you?” Zhang Jiasen hastily walked over to ask Ning Shu this.

Ning Shu glanced at Zhang Jiasen with an angry expression and said in a vexed tone, “She seriously refuses to say anything!”

The moment Zhang Jiasen heard that Aunt Ping hadn’t said anything, his expression relaxed slightly and he consoled Ning Shu, “The truth will eventually come to light. There’s no need to be so worried. It’s fortunate that Father-in-law is alright.”
