Chapter 2373: Ruthless (2)
The woman, who was clearly extremely displeased about Yun Na’s actions, closed the door behind her and commented, “I saw today’s news.”
Yun Na nodded. “Oh.”
Upon hearing that indifferent response, the woman appeared increasingly furious as she sat down on the sofa, looked up, and chided, “You were too reckless! Do you know how dangerous your actions were?!”
Behind her, the TV, which was playing the news channel, showed an image of a hospital where a reporter was eloquently reporting about Lu Jingtian’s case.
“Sources said that the scene of the incident was in a complete mess. The police found residual ethanol on Lu Jingtian’s clothes, and from their preliminary investigation, they’re considering the flammable liquid as the cause of the fire. They’ve also found a lighter at the scene and are now attempting to extract fingerprints from it. Further investigation is currently underway…”
The woman picked up the remote control and switched off the TV.
“Aren’t you afraid of rousing her suspicion with your recklessness?”
Yun Na merely quietly lifted a brow at that.
“You’re not to act on your own again! Wait for my orders and move at the right time. I’m worried that your solo actions will put her on guard and lead to you landing in a tiger’s den! I have a use for you, so don’t act so brashly again!”
“I got it.”
The woman suddenly remembered something and ordered, “Let me see your hands!”
Without any protest, she stretched her hands for the other to take a look.
“Show me your fingers.”
She proceeded to stretch her fingers wide.
The woman then realized that the flesh of her thumbs and index fingers had been sliced away while the rest of her fingers had seemingly been burned by high heat, though they were all recovered now. Still, she could imagine just how painful that process must have been.
As everyone knew, the morphological structure and unique characteristics of fingerprints had strong stability and would basically be the same for life.
Unless there was scarring or damage to the finger’s epidermal layer, fingerprints collected at the crime scene could be a breakthrough in the case.
For the sake of preventing further complications, Yun Na sliced off the flesh of her fingers, but because she could not take the pain of it, she burned the rest of her fingerprints away with a hot iron, instead.
“Don’t worry. I took all kinds of precautions before stepping past that door.”
Even after destroying her fingerprints, she would always apply 502 glue to her fingers each time she left the room.
There would be absolutely no traces of her at the crime scene.
Only then was the woman slightly relieved.
“Lu Jingtian is now in the hospital, and her accident has caused quite a stir in the country. Don’t go out for the time being, and just in case, you should burn that set of clothes away, too!”
“Got it.”
“Also”—the woman glanced at her upon recalling a certain matter—”your father seems to have seen your face and knows that it’s you.”
Yun Na curled the corners of her lips expressionlessly. “Yeah.”
“As far as I know, he’s in the hospital, still alive and out of danger. Why didn’t you kill him?”
“…”
“What? Surely, it’s not because you’ve gone softhearted and were unable to do it in the end?”
“That’s not it,” she answered viciously. “Him dying ten thousand times isn’t even enough to appease me!”
After a beat, the woman added, “Then again, seeing the extent of his injuries, he won’t be able to talk ever again.”
