The following evening, Xia Weiwei stood before the mirror in the master bedroom, fastening a pair of simple earrings.
She had chosen a pale blue dress that reached below her knees. It was elegant without appearing as if she had dressed for a formal event.
Mo Shian entered the closet wearing a black suit.
He stopped behind her and looked at their reflections.
"Are you ready?"
"Almost."
Weiwei picked up her purse and checked its contents again.
Besides her phone and ordinary personal items, it contained two sterile evidence envelopes, disposable gloves, cotton swabs, and small sample bags provided by Jiang Tao.
Tonight, she needed biological samples from Xinya and Xia Mo.
She did not intend to create an unnatural situation. If no safe opportunity appeared, she would wait.
Mo Shian saw her checking the collection kit.
"You're nervous."
"I haven't returned to the Xia residence for a while."
"We don't have to collect both samples tonight."
"I know."
