Zheng Lingling nodded, "When did I ever fail to handle something properly?"
Sun Wu’s suspended heart finally settled, "That’s good.
With Ni Yang dead, nobody else could pose a threat.
Ni Cuihua wasn’t even one-tenth as capable as Ni Yang.
In time, the Zheng Family would still belong to the three of them!
Sitting at her dressing table and starting to apply cream to her face, Zheng Lingling expressed her concern, "Do you think Ni Yang will find out about this?"
Sun Wu replied, "No way, didn’t Aunt Jiang say that stuff is colorless and odorless? Ni Yang is no deity; how could she possibly discover it?"
On the other side, Zheng Suyu sat on the bed, sobbing silently.
She held the glass bottle tightly in her hand, her knuckles already turning white.
She didn’t know what to do.
Would she really have to go through with poisoning Ni Yang?
The next day, Ni Yang made a trip to the Detective Agency.
Xiaozhou and Ni Yang were old friends by now. Seeing Ni Yang arrive, Xiaozhou pulled her over and said, "Yangyang, come quick and see what’s wrong with my phonograph, why has it stopped working again!"
Ever since Ni Yang had fixed Xiaozhou’s phonograph the last time, she had become an omnipotent figure in Xiaozhou’s eyes.
Ni Yang took the black record, fitted it onto the phonograph, bent down and fiddled with it for a while, and then a sweet and pleasant voice poured out from the machine, "How sweet, your smile so very sweet, as if flowers blooming in the spring breeze..."
This song was sung by Ms. Deng, popular not just in that era, but in future generations as well.
Hearing this song, Ni Yang inexplicably cheered up and began to hum along.
Xiaozhou said excitedly, "Yangyang, you’re really incredible! You got it to work!"
Ni Yang clapped her hands, her face full of smug pride, "Otherwise, why would everyone on the street call me ’Brother Yang’?"
"Brother Yang..." Xiaozhou clicked his tongue and laughed, "I must say, the nickname suits you well. I’m going to start calling you Brother Yang."
