Chapter 222: Chapter 221: Slapping the Reborn Apocalypse Girl 2
Because Tang Anning was studying in the Capital, she brought her nephew and niece there.
The three of them rented a house in the Capital.
Due to her special circumstances, she had discussed with the university and was granted special permission to return home daily.
It was already evening now. Anning had checked the laboratory once more, found no oversights, organized all the experimental equipment, turned off the lights, locked the door, and then left.
She left the laboratory and rode her bike home.
Just as she exited the university gate, she remembered her niece Ru Yi mentioning that she wanted to drink juice, so she stopped at a small supermarket, parked her bike, and went in to buy some fruits to make juice when she got home.
When Anning got home, Aunt Yu, who helped take care of the children, was playing with Jixiang and Ru Yi. Seeing Anning return, Aunt Yu started packing up, preparing to leave.
Anning smiled, said goodbye to Aunt Yu, and changed her shoes to enter the house.
Jixiang and Ru Yi were two very sensible and adorable children. They understood that it was not easy for Anning to take care of them and were usually very well-behaved.
Still, after all, they were children and liked having their loved ones around.
Seeing Anning return, Jixiang happily pounced on her.
Anning caught Jixiang: "What did you learn in kindergarten today?"
Ru Yi, on the other hand, came over to help Anning carry the bags.
Anning quickly put Jixiang down, placed the bags on the table, then took off her coat and entered the kitchen to make juice.
Ru Yi followed Anning, wanting to help, but she was still too young to be of much help.
Anning smilingly directed her to wipe the table or fetch a small bowl.
Ru Yi was very happy and busily helped around.
After making the juice, Anning poured it into two cups, letting Jixiang and Ru Yi hold their cups to drink, while she went into the room to put down her bag and changed into her home clothes.
"Is it delicious?"
Anning looked at the two children, her eyes and brows smiling.
These two children were the only relatives Tang Anning had in this world. Entering Tang Anning’s body, accepting her memories, her emotions, and the blood-connected intimacy with the children, Anning deeply felt the same.
"It’s delicious."
Jixiang finished first and took the cup to the kitchen to wash it, standing on tiptoes.
Ru Yi also washed her own cup after finishing.
Seeing the two children, so young and small yet stretching their hands to wash the cups, a wave of hatred surged in Anning’s heart.
She hated Su Leqing; Jixiang and Ru Yi were such good children, how could Su Leqing have the heart to harm them and let the children die so tragically.
Thinking of the painful cries of "auntie" by the children before their death in Tang Anning’s memories, and Tang Anning being powerless to help, the hatred intensified.
To not frighten the children, Anning quickly suppressed her hatred, stabilized her emotions, took the two kids to the table, and let them take out a storybook. She told them a story first, then took them to bathe.
After bathing the children and putting them to bed, Anning finally had time to carefully think about her next steps.
She bathed, put on her pajamas, and sat cross-legged on the bed. Moonlight shined through the window, enveloping Anning in its glow.
With the moonlight, Anning felt the presence of Spiritual Energy in this world.
She carefully sensed the world’s rules, discovering that this world was quite interesting—it even had Superpower Users.
Anning found that the rules of Heavenly Dao in this world were not perfectly established and seemed to have many loopholes.
She slightly narrowed her eyes; fixing so many loopholes would be troublesome.
However, the more loopholes, the more Anning could use them for her cultivation, which could also be considered a good thing for her.
She first absorbed spiritual power and circulated it for one complete cycle, clearing several meridians, but afterwards, she couldn’t continue with her cultivation.
Anning then decided not to engage in pointless efforts, but rather carefully contemplated whether her initial plan was feasible.
She calculated many times, considering all possible scenarios, how to respond to each, and what to do if faced with danger. After running through everything in her mind and finding no oversights, she finally went to sleep.
The next day, Anning woke up very early.
Upon waking, she called An Xin.
"How’s the investigation going?"
An Xin’s voice was somewhat soft: "Found out, found out, the bracelet was stolen by a relative of yours. She came to visit Jixiang and Ru Yi the other day, made an excuse to send Aunt Yu away, and then went to search your room..."
An Xin showed Anning the video surveillance footage from the residential area that captured her relative entering and leaving her home and also noted down her call records for Anning: "It seems someone paid her to steal it. After the deed, she received a substantial amount of money. Her family’s account received a large overseas remittance, which I traced back to the Su family."
Anning nodded: "It must have been Su Leqing’s doing."
"What should we do now?"
Speaking of this, An Xin was quite angry: "Ningning, that bracelet is likely a Space Spiritual Artifact, we can’t let that evil woman benefit from it."
Anning chuckled: "Don’t worry, I’ll make her pay the price."
"Right, we should take it back."
An Xin encouraged Anning.
Anning gave a secretive smile: "No, we won’t just take it back. Does Su Leqing think that with the Space Bracelet, everything will be perfect for her? This time, I’ll make sure she falls because of it."
"How are you going to do that?"
An Xin felt she couldn’t keep up with Anning’s thought process. Anning always approached tasks in a unique way, using methodologies that differed from others, often leaving An Xin in awe.
Even though An Xin had been with Anning for many years, she really couldn’t fully grasp Anning’s thoughts.
"You’ll see in time."
Anning didn’t plan to tell An Xin her thoughts.
After all, each time she had a task, she would target the aspects that her enemies relied on most, just like last time with Empress Dowager He, who solely depended on Prince Kang’s affection. Therefore, Anning directly targeted Prince Kang. Once Prince Kang lost his power, Empress Dowager He was nothing but a paper tiger.
This time was no different.
Anning smiled as she got up to make breakfast in the kitchen.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with delicious smells.
An Xin was so anxious, constantly urging Anning: "Ningning, dear Ningning, just tell me a little."
"Secret."
Anning served the fried eggs she had prepared onto a plate, then went to fetch the lean meat porridge.
"Aren’t I still your most trusted partner?"
An Xin began to act coquettishly.
While setting the chopsticks, Anning instructed An Xin: "Put the evidence we found into my computer, I’ll need it."
An Xin went to upload the data into the computer.
Meanwhile, Anning went to wake up the two little treasures.
She pulled Jixiang and Ru Yi out of bed, looking at the pair who were still somewhat groggy and sat on the bed in a sleep-ridden state, their little faces filled with confusion and their hair sticking up adorably.
Anning couldn’t resist and reached out to ruffle the children’s hair: "Alright, let’s get dressed and have breakfast."
As Jixiang and Ru Yi sobered up, they began dressing themselves, then went to brush their teeth and wash their faces, and finally sat down at the dining table.
Anning watched the children eat, and after their breakfast, she tidied up and took them to kindergarten.
