The results arrived and they found out that there were no fingerprints on the knife''s handle. It could only mean that the culprit was wearing some gloves.

    According to Hana''s testimony, Shi Enxi used a handkerchief to cover the gloves. It was also used to wipe the blood off her other hand.

    The police officers interviewed the other witnesses who came later after Hana did and they all said that the handkerchief was used to clean her hand but they didn''t saw her using the handkerchief on the knife since it was only Hana who saw everything that happened.

    Because of all the evidence pointing to Shi Enxi, she was arrested and was scheduled to be in court after a week. The news about the murder became big that it became one of the top searches on Weibo.

    Lu Mello was strolling to the nasty comments that were being said about his wife. The expression on his face becoming uglier with each second passed.

    Shi Enxi grabbed the phone from him and placed it on the side, "Just ignore them. This is to be expected." She was supposed to be waiting in jail but due to Lu Mello''s request, she was brought to a better place that looked more like an apartment.

    There were securities guarding outside since she was not allowed to go out.

    "Are you sure that you don''t want to take it down?" Shi Yi asked. When he heard about what happened, just like Lu Mello, he went to see his sister and yet, was told not to do anything about the news instead.

    "Gege, just let me handle this, okay?" She turned to her husband, "How''s Yu''er and Xue''er?"

    "Xiao Yao and Huang Li are taking care of them. Hana''s been spreading fake news to the media too. My men''s been keeping an eye on her."

    "Good, good."

    "How can you be so calm?" Shi Yi frowned, looking at his sister in confusion.

    "Because I''m innocent and I''ll be proven as one soon." One thing was for sure, Hana wouldn''t be able to continue on whatever her schemes she has since all eyes were on her.

    Shi Yi sighed heavily. He looked at his brother-in-law and saw how calm he was as well. They must have a plan against the woman who framed his sister, right?

    When Shi Enxi saw how restless her brother was, she chuckled, "I''ll be fine, gege."

    Just then, Lu Mello''s phone rang. Shi Enxi took it from the table and saw that it was a call from one of his men. "Here." She handed the phone back to her husband.

    Lu Mello excuses himself and went out of the room as he answered the call.

    "Tell me, Xiao Xi, what kind of plan do you have that will turn the tables back in your favor?"

    ...

    Back at Huang Li''s place...

    "Why are you here?" Fan Xiao Yao asked with a glare after seeing Hana standing by the doorstep.

    Hana blinked in confusion, "Have I done... something wrong to anger you?"

    "Yes. You are the reason why Xiao Xi''s in jail."

    "But I was just telling the truth. She killed Qiao Nuan." Hana lowered her gaze as she put on her pitiful act. "I-I know that it''s hard especially when you''re close with Shi Enxi but it''s true. I''m not lying, Xiao Yao."

    Fan Xiao Yao scoffed and was about to open her mouth to say something in defense for Shi Enxi but she was interrupted when a tiny voice came behind her.

    "Mama?" Little Snow came out of the living room, looking at Fan Xiao Yao.

    "Mama back?" He was followed by Little Jade.

    "Are they... Shi Enxi''s kids?" Hana trailed off.

    "I have nothing more to say to you." Fan Xiao Yao was about to close the door but Hana pushed the door back and invited herself in. "How can I waste such an opportunity to meet them? Is your husband at home?"

    "Why should I tell you? You''re trespassing so please leave."

    Hana smiled, "I see, he''s not here. How lucky." Her eyes were still locked towards the kids who were looking at them in confusion. When she took a step forward, Fan Xiao Yao grabbed her arm to stop her. "Hana." She warned.

    "I''m not going to do anything to the kids. I just want to have a closer look at them, you know."

    Fan Xiao Yao turned to Little Snow and Little Jade, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Xue, go back to your room."

    "Seriously. You''re testing my patience." In the next moment, Hana rudely pulled her arm away from Fan Xiao Yao''s grasp before she pushed her away, making her fall on the ground. "I just want to take a closer look at them."

    "Mama!"

    "Mama!"

    The two boys ran towards Fan Xiao Yao.

    "Bad! You bad!" Little Snow shouted as he looked at Hana with a frown.

    Little Jade spread his arms as he stood in between them. "Dwon''t hurt mama!"

    Hana laughed, enjoying the scene before her, "Mama? She''s not your mother."

    Fan Xiao Yao sat up, her brow flinched because of the ache on her ankle. She had a bad footing earlier when she fell that gave her a sprain but that didn''t matter right now. She didn''t care if she was in pain. She pulled both the boys in her arms in a protective manner. "What do you want?" She glared at her while hugging the boys close.

    "Lweave!"

    "Yeah! Lweave!"

    She ignored the shouts of the two kids and looked at Fan Xiao Yao with a twisted smirk, "What I want?" She turned her gaze back to the kids. "What''s his name again? Mingyu? Xiao Yu? I can''t believe my son will end up being adopted in such a big family as the Lu family."

    "S-son?" Fan Xiao Yao stuttered. Her eyes wide in surprise. "X-Xiao Yu''s your son?"

    "Mama! bad woman nwot my mwother!" Little Jade shouted. His arms were still spread out, protecting his little brother and his second mother.

    "My feelings are hurt, son." Hana even clenched her c.h.e.s.t just to show how ''hurt'' she was. "Do you know how long it took for me to find you?"

    "I-if it''s money you want, I can give it to you just promise me that you won''t hurt-"

    "I don''t want money. I want MY son, bitch!" Hana''s face darkened, her eyes full of hate. "He''s not allowed to live! A bastard like him needs to die!"

    "He''s just a child!" Fan Xiao Yao raised her voice as she continued to send Hana daggers through her gaze.

    "I can do whatever I want to him! He belongs to me!"

    Little Snow covered his ears with his tiny hands and began crying while Little Jade was holding back his tears. Two women were shouting at each other and they were both confused at what was happening. All they know was the other woman was bad since she hurt Fan Xiao Yao.

    Hana was about to grab Little Jade''s arm but Fan Xiao Yao was quick enough to slap her hand away.

    "If you want to have him, you will need to pass through me first! Over my dead body!" Fan Xiao Yao growled. She even forced herself to stand up despite the pain growing in her ankle.

    "Mama..." Little Jade was looking at Fan Xiao Yao with his tearful gaze.

    She turned to the child with a gentle look in her eyes, "Xiao Yu, can you bring your brother to your room? Don''t open the door until I say so, okay?"

    The child nodded his head obediently before he huffed at the other woman, "Mama will beat you!" After that, he dragged Little Snow upstairs.

    A slow clap was heard from Hana, "How touching."

    Fan Xiao Yao turned her gaze back to the woman in front of her, ready to take her on.

    Hana took a pocket knife out and stared at it, "You could have an easy way out if you give me my son, you know. You don''t have to die just for that runt. You''re only courting death. I wonder how will Huang Li react once he comes home and sees his place covered in blood?"

    Fan Xiao Yao bit her lower lip when she saw the knife. She didn''t think Hana was armed. Even if she was, she didn''t back down. She stood her ground. She was not going to allow her each the kids.

    "I''m a kind person you know. Out of the goodness of my heart, I will leave Shi Enxi''s son alive." She took a step forward to which Fan Xiao Yao unconsciously took a step back just to avoid the knife that was pointing at her.

    "Hana, please... Don''t do this. We can talk about this. I can help you with whatever problem you have. If you need money, anything, I''m willing to give it to you just please don''t do this."

    "Talk? Aren''t you courting death? Allow me to give it to you!"
