Having given all these instructions, An Yuan'er didn't dare to delay for a moment and followed Shuangshuang straight to the east door.
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.
But it seemed very quiet inside, without a sound.
They both shielded An Yuan'er behind them and carefully entered the room.
The room was decorated with pearls everywhere—the windows, tables, and chairs were inlaid with pearls. This pearl girl seemed to have some obsession with pearls; almost everything in sight was made of pearls.
The two searched the room thoroughly and, sure enough, found a lot of evidence.
On Pearl Girl's desk were many portraits of An Yuan'er, including those of her from childhood to adulthood. Even more meticulously, Pearl Girl had recorded An Yuan'er's likes and dislikes in her notebook.
An Yuan'er's pores suddenly stood on end, and she broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't believe that someone she didn't know was secretly watching her.
Inside the box, they also found many mannequins, each with An Yuan'er's birth date and time affixed to it, and countless silver needles stuck into them.
This Pearl Girl, for reasons unknown, harbored a grudge against An Yuan'er, and actually used the most vicious witchcraft to curse An Yuan'er to death.
“Miss, look at this notebook. It lists the people Pearl contacted, including waiters, scholars, and high-ranking officials… It also records how she contacted these people and how she spread rumors about you.” Shuangshuang found crucial evidence.
As long as this notebook is made public and the facts of Pearl Girl's slander against An Yuan'er are stated, An Yuan'er can be effectively helped to get out of her current predicament.
Despite this, An Yuan'er looked heavy-hearted after reading the book, unable to find peace of mind no matter what.
She didn't consider herself to be the type to make enemies, so why did this Pearl girl have to go to such lengths?
"Shuangshuang, keep searching. I must find out who this Pearl Girl really is."
An Yuan'er searched for a while and found a bulge on the bed. She lifted the blanket covering it.
"Ah—" she cried out in fright.
The woman lying on the bed was bleeding from all seven orifices, her face slashed by a knife, and she died in an extremely horrific position.
There was a pearl mask next to her, which could very well be the Pearl Girl.
"Miss, could she have committed suicide out of guilt?"
An Yuan'er felt that things were not simple. They had arrived so quickly, but they were still a step too late.
The mastermind behind it all has not yet revealed their true identity.
An Yuan'er had mixed feelings. She hated the current situation where the enemy was in the dark and she was in the light, but she couldn't be impatient. Since the other party had already chosen her, they would eventually reveal their true colors.
"Take the evidence with you, let's go."

Just as she was about to leave, several figures suddenly appeared at the side door, reacting quickly to protect An Yuan'er.
However, the other side outnumbered them and were evenly matched in strength, so Shuangshuang was quickly subdued by several men in black.
Both struggled, saying, "Third brother, fourth brother, let me go. It's not fair to hit your own brothers."
As members of the Shadow Guard, they knew each other's identities the moment they made a move.
The third and fourth brothers kept their heads down and didn't speak. They stepped aside, and behind them sat Yi Chenli in a wheelchair.
He seemed to loathe everything here, the unpleasant smells, and the noisy atmosphere, but he came here to arrest people.
He raised an eyebrow and beckoned to An Yuan'er with his finger: "Roundball, come here!"
An Yuan'er turned her back, thinking: I'm doomed! I've only been here once, and I've already been caught red-handed by someone.
