Xinguan soon reached the hotel Marvel where the girl"s Sister-in-law was attacked. The man and the woman walked into the VIP suite which was booked for Ningtao. Roughly ten police officers were already present there , performing their respective duties. As soon as the officers saw the Military Chief of the nation making an appearance at the scene of crime , they stood up straight and saluted her in unison. 

"Long live Country X , Military Chief !", the Chief Officer greeted. 

"Long live the nation , Officer.", Rong Xinghe responded back with a slight nod as she shook hands with the officer ,"Found anything suspicious ?"

"Actually... yes , Ma"am.", the man nodded ,"Um... could you tell us if Mrs. Ningtao enjoyed drug consumption ? Or if she was involved with any sort of drug smuggling ?"

The moment the girl listened to the old man"s words , her eyes opened wide and she exchanged glances with Xi Yuan , who was equally shocked by the officer"s statement. They could roughly guess what was happening , but couldn"t exactly point out what that was.

"Of course not. She has never encouraged any form of addiction. Neither has she ever came in contact with the business of drug smuggling.", Rong Xinghe denied ,"What are you talking about , officer ?"

"Military Chief , three packets of Fantanyl drug and four samples of Heroin have been collected from Mrs. Lu"s bedroom , exactly where she was stabbed. As you hail from the Miltary forces , I believe you know how dangerous both of these drugs can be. Moreover , it is completely normal in the entertainment industry. So , I thought..."

"It might be normal in entertainment industry , but that in not the case with the Superfamily.", the woman glared at the Chief Officer , sending the chills down his spine ,"Firstly , send the samples to forensic laboratory right now. Secondly , keep the media away from this matter. I hope you know how to protect the privacy of an individual , as a police officer."

"Now move aside. I will be investigating this matter personally. Here are the permissions from the President of the nation.", said , Rong Xinghe as she pa.s.sed a sealed brown envelope to the police officer , stamped by the first highest authority of the nation ,"Hope the Police department co-operates with the Military here."

"Does this case concern the Armed forces , Military Chief ?!", the Chief Officer asked , shocked. 

"Does the name Yang Bolin a.k.a. Diablos ring a bell , Officer ?", the girl asked , raising her brows ever so slightly.

The moment the officer heard Rong Xinghe"s words , he was struck dumb as he took a few steps back. Yang Bolin.... Wasn"t he one of those underworld figures who had a.s.sociation with almost every terrorist group out there ? d.a.m.n ! If this matter really involved him , then it was best for Rong Xinghe to work on the case. Although he couldn"t find any relation between an industry actress and an underworld gang leader , the Chief Police Officer didn"t dared to question the Military Chief of the nation. Most importantly , she had the legal consent from the President himself.

Rong Xinghe and Xi Yuan rushed inside Ningtao"s bed and found the fur carpet , beside the King-sized bed , soaked in blood. It... was obviously Ningtao"s blood. Xi Yuan subconsciously pulled the girl towards him and rubbed her back worriedly.

"Are you alright , Xinghe ?", the man asked.

"I... I am fine.", the girl smiled as she tried to sound as calm as she could ,"Relax."

"Xinghe..."

"Lets see what happened with the victim last night.", said Rong Xinghe , placing her hands over the man"s both shoulders , as if she was trying to gather courage and strength from him. The girl then turned around and walked towards Ningtao"s bed. It was now that she noticed Ningtao"s phone beneath the blankets. The girl furrowed her brows and pulled out her gloves and put them on before she picked the phone up.

"How come none of you collected this ?", the woman asked as she turned around to glare at the police officers standing behind her silently. She then pulled out her phone from her pocket and made a phone call to Lu Wei. 

"Is everything alright Kiddo ?", the call finally got through after roughly seven rings.

"Any updates on her situation ?", the girl asked.

"Not exactly. None of the surgeons have shown up yet.", the man sighed ,"They are saying that she has lost a lot of blood."

"Oh. I recieved a call from bro Rogguang while I was on the way to hotel. He will be arriving their in half an hour. He will take it from there then.", Rong Xinghe said ,"Brother... Could you tell me what Sis-in-law"s pa.s.sword is ? I have her phone."

"Its your and mine birthdays , Kiddo.", Lu Wei said ,"09-10-12-03"

9th of October was her birthday and 12th of March was her brother"s birthday. Ningtao used to always say that she and Lu Wei were the most important people of her life. According to her , they had given her a new life. They had given her a family. But the same Ningtao was in such a pitiful state today. Involuntarily , tears welled up into Rong Xinghe"s eyes as she clinged onto Ningtao"s phone in her hands tightly. Why did all of this had to happen to her ? Out of all the people , why her ?!

Xi Yuan noticed Rong Xinghe"s reaction and it didn"t take him long to understand what pain his woman was going through. It was never easy to find a battle between heart and mind. The man turned around and gestured the police and military officers to walk out , leaving only the two of them into the room. 

The man then strode towards the girl and wiped her tears away , taking her phone from her hand , bringing it to his ears.

"Are you crying , Kiddo ?", Lu Wei"s concerned voice came through the other end. 

"She is , bro Lu.", the man replied on the girl"s behalf ,"I will call you back later. Alright ?"

"Hmm. She is too fragile to stay strong currently , Yuan. Yet , she is pus.h.i.+ng herself to get to the bottom of this matter. She will be needing you more than anything right now. Just be by her side. Thats all she needs."
