“Ah, I went out to meet a friend.” Ji Ziyin turned her head away indifferently.
Ji Xiao did not notice any change in her expression, as if Leonard’s death really had nothing to do with her.
He tried again. “Which friend? Do I know him?”
Ji Ziyin turned around and looked at him steadily. “What’s wrong?”
Ji Xiao looked at her calm eyes and, for some reason, he felt afraid. He subconsciously looked away and shook his head. “No, nothing.”
Ji Ziyin could tell that he was suspicious of her. The corners of her lips twitched as she got up and went to the water dispenser. She unhurriedly said, “Don’t forget we’re in the same boat. If I fail, you’ll fall into the water with me.”
Ji Xiao’s heart beat like a drum as he suddenly looked at her.
Ji Ziyin calmly drank water as her almond-shaped eyes flickered with ambition. “Qiao Nian is finished. Who else can compete with me for the Matriarch position now? Once I become the Ji family’s Matriarch, you will also become one of the elders. In the future, we will have the final say in the Ji family. Don’t you want to live such a life?”
“Yes.” Ji Xiao’s heart pounded.
Ambition diluted his uneasiness.
He took a deep breath and looked at her again. “Are you sure Qiao Nian is finished? If she finds out about us—”
Ji Ziyin’s lips curled up. “She won’t find out.”

At the same time.
In the villa in the city center.
“Have you found anything?” The girl crossed her legs and spoke casually with one hand on her earpiece.
A laptop was in front of her, and a program was running on the screen.
Qiao Nian was now connected to the computer on the dialog box.
“I’ve got it.”
The voice on the other end was Nie Mi’s.
“I asked the Ninth Branch’s Elder Cheng. Elder Cheng said that the caliber of the bullet is 2.5mm. This caliber sniper rifle has a wider range and is difficult to check.
“However, judging from the ballistic trajectory and the bullet marks’ depth embedded in the wall, only one model matches it.”
“L115A3.”
Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows. “L115A3?”
Nie Mi continued, “This model was only delivered last year. It’s the most advanced and accurate sniper rifle on the market. Because it’s expensive to make, there aren’t many of them. You know someone in the black market. As long as you check the source of the purchase, you can find the person you’re looking for.”
Qiao Nian got the answer she wanted. Her dark eyebrows raised slightly, and her beautiful eyes darkened with a hint of killing intent. “Thank you.”
She hung up, took off her earpiece, and placed it back on the table. Then, she got up, grabbed her phone on the sofa, and made a call.
Ten minutes later.
Qiao Nian returned to the living room.
Soon, Wei Lou sent a list of names to her computer.
The girl clicked on the list of purchases she had found on the black market and quickly found an interesting ID in the middle of a row of names.

Qiao Nian copied the name with the mouse and printed it with the serial number.
Soon, she was holding an A4 paper.
Ye Wangchuan entered at this time and saw the girl looking at something. He put down his car keys and gently asked, “Have you found out?”
“Sort of.” Qiao Nian handed him the A4 paper. “Take a look at this.”
Ye Wangchuan took it from her and looked down at the name and number. He immediately looked up. “When did you start to suspect her?”
