Chapter 631: Chapter 629 Recognition 1_1

In a moment, Ning Mo was overwhelmed with fear, jealousy, hatred, and annoyance, wishing she could tear the two of them to pieces and feed them to the dogs.

But what she feared even more was how Xia Ningxing had managed to escape from the massive fire and whether she knew the true mastermind behind this incident?

Ning Jian was even more afraid.

But guilty conscience kept him from daring to ask, so he could only set his sights on those who were of the same faction as him.

After catching his suggestive glance, someone from his side hesitated before feigning confusion and speaking up, "May I ask the Family Head, what exactly happened here?"

"I was harmed by a traitor, but I had a big life and managed to escape..." Xia Ningxing roughly recounted the incident.

"Does the Family Head know who exactly harmed you?" the other continued to pursue.

Xia Ningxing did not answer immediately but instead looked around at everyone present.

Those whose gaze she swept over couldn’t help but inwardly gulp.

Especially Ning Jian and Ning Mo, whose deep-seated anxiety and uneasiness were like being strung up on a wire.

Someone unable to resist demanded, "Family Head, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you think the person who harmed you is among us?"

"Indeed," Xia Ningxing nodded.

As soon as the words fell, Ning Jian and Ning Mo’s hearts felt as if they were being violently gripped by a giant hand, a suffocating despair washing over them.

Could it be...

Xia Ningxing already knew it was them?

"Just because you say it was done by someone among us means it was done by us?" someone cried out, unable to contain their indignation.

Most people already didn’t have a favorable opinion of Xia Ningxing, and now hearing her say this, some of the hotheads couldn’t take it anymore.

"Even if you are the Family Head, you can’t slander people like this!"

"That’s right!"

"This is catching a thief without evidence, empty words who will believe?"

"Who says I don’t have evidence?" No sooner had Xia Ningxing spoken than several government officials entered from outside, handcuffs in hand, and proceeded to handcuff Ning Jian.

"Ning Jian, you are suspected of being involved in a case of hiring a killer. Now with both eyewitness and physical evidence against you, you are under arrest."

The handcuffs clicked shut around his wrists.

The reason government officials were involved was that on the night she escaped, Xia Ningxing had reported the matter, and Mrs. Xia Ning sent her trusted secret guards to control them, preventing any escape.

As a result, everyone involved, including the man with the mask, was arrested; none of them were professionals, and after the interrogation, they confessed to everything.

However, since the matter had been reported, all those involved had to be handled by the government, even the Xia family could not deal with Ning Jian privately.

But there were no worries, according to Star Shine’s regulations, his crimes also warranted the death penalty.

In the end, he couldn’t escape death after all.

Ning Jian was both shocked and terrified; originally he wanted to deny everything, but when the government laid out all the evidence before him, his face turned ashen, and he could only admit guilt, "...I confess, I did it, but it was only me, it has nothing to do with my family."

Regardless, he had to protect his family.

Especially Ning Mo, he believed his daughter would surely find a way to deal with Xia Ningxing again.

Watching her father being taken away, Ning Mo’s eyes immediately reddened, and instinctively she grasped at him, "Dad!"

"My good daughter, be well," Ning Jian hugged her and whispered in her ear, a message that only the two of them could hear, "You must avenge your father."

He would make sure Xia Ningxing accompanied him in death, even if it cost him his life!

"Dad, don’t worry, I will definitely kill that bitch Xia Ningxing!" Ning Mo’s eyes were bloodshot, her voice resolute.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t make out the last words between father and daughter, but she could more or less guess they were plotting something, how tedious.

Xia Ningxing had no desire to continue playing the game of "You kill me, then I end up killing you" with Ning Mo, so before she could make a move, Xia Ningxing took action and erased her memory.

Originally, Mrs. Xia Ning suggested directly snapping her neck.

However, Xia Ningxing didn’t want to be responsible for too much killing, so she refused.

Strangely enough, ever since she lost her memories, Ning Mo had become a completely different person, excessively clingy to Xia Ningxing, and continuously calling her ’sister’ in such an annoyingly endearing manner that Xia Ningxing was nearly driven mad.

Knowing this, she might as well have snapped her neck.

Of course, that’s a thought for another time.

After the morning meeting dispersed,

Xia Ningxing went to deliver medicine to Mad Uncle.

When she arrived, Mad Uncle was busy trimming his own hair and beard.

"Thanks to your medicine, Xia, uncle seems to have remembered some things," Mad Uncle said cheerfully as he wielded his large scissors.

He looked delighted, just like a child who had secretly eaten two pounds of sugar.

"Uncle, what did you remember? Tell me!" Xia Ningxing asked eagerly and excitedly.

She truly thought of Mad Uncle as her own uncle and hoped he would quickly remember everything, reclaim his life, and find his family and friends.

After all, a life without any relatives or friends would be too pitiful.

Mad Uncle said, "Heh, I remembered that I used to be a handsome man, and many young ladies and wives fancied me!"

"..."

Xia Ningxing instantly looked as if she had been struck by lightning.

Is that all?

"But I was a man of self-restraint, even more so than the monk. No matter how they flirted with me, I never faltered because I only loved my wife. Yes, I have a wife, it’s just that I can’t for the life of me recall what she looks like. Ah, what a scumbag I am!"

Xia Ningxing: "..."

One moment claiming to be a good man, the next admitting to being a scumbag.

Must have a split personality!

"However, I’ll tell you something, my wife seemed to be about your age, very beautiful!" Mad Uncle said dreamily, almost drooling.

Xia Ningxing was even more speechless: "..."

Not only had this uncle lost his memories, but had he also lost his intelligence?

So many years had passed, if his wife was in her twenties back then, was she still in her twenties now?

Was she on an Elixir of Life or what?

Xia Ningxing was about to correct him when she heard a startled cry.

"Xia?"

It was Mrs. Xia Ning’s voice.

Xia Ningxing turned around and saw Mrs. Xia Ning’s plate plummet to the floor, the bowls, chopsticks, and food shattered all over, while her eyes were excitedly red, her lips quivering non-stop as she stared intently at Mad Uncle, as if trying to see right through him or confirm something.

That profile!

It was uncannily similar!

Last night, due to his disheveled hair and beard plus his constant effort to cover his face, Mrs. Xia Ning had been unable to see what he looked like. But now, with his hair trimmed short, he looked too much like the man she cherished!

"Xia?"

She called out subconsciously once more.
