Translator: 549690339
Wu Junâs face was pale, her lips trembling. After pondering for a long time, she began to talk about what happened that night.
âThat day was Zhenyiâs birthday. Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were very happy, and when it was time to light the birthday cake candles, Mr. Gu asked me to turn off the fire alarm system.â
âYeah! What happened next?â
I listen intently, carefully recalling the details of the past events.
âAfter they finished celebrating, I shut the fire system again. Around eleven oâclock at night, I got up to go to the restroom and saw Mr. Gu answering a call in the living roomâŠâ âWho was he calling?â I asked anxiously.
Wu Jun fell into silence,
âFrom the sounds of it, it was a woman!â
âWho was she? Who was she?â
âl donât know. I couldnât make out what they were saying.â
âThen what? What happened afterward?â
Wu Jun fell silent again,
âAfter Mr. Gu ended the call and saw me standing behind him, he gave me a sum of money and told me to pack my things and leave.â I was shocked, âGu Yuanzhou asked you to leave?â
âWhere did he ask you to go?â
âl donât know. He said he wouldnât need me anymore, asked me to relocate far away and never return! Not knowing what would happen later, but Mr. Gu was my master, if he asked me to leave, I couldnât hesitate. I took the money, packed up and left. It wasnât until the next day that 1 saw on the news that there had been a fire at the Golden Bay villa.â
âSo, you didnât start the fire?â 1 asked urgently.
Wu Jun immediately denied it.
âNot me! I would never do such a thing.â
âSince it wasnât you, why didnât you come forward and tell the truth?â âBecause thereâs no one who could prove my innocence. Mrs. Gu and the
children are dead; everyone is suspecting me. I dare not show my face. Besides⊠Mr. Gu also called me and asked not to show up.â
âIt was Gu Yuanzhou who asked you to do that?â I kept questioning.
Wu Junâs answer remained the same, âYes!â
Ha! I gave a cold laugh and slumped into the sofa.
If itâs not Wu Jun.
Then it must have been Gu Yuanzhou himself!
He dismissed Wu Jun in the middle of the night, then once again shut down the safety valve of the fire system, and lit the birthday candle in the kitchen, using the candle to ignite the combustible items.
These are the only scenarios that I could think of.
This answer, both unexpected and reasonable.
But it was the hardest for me to accept.
The feeling of heartache drowned me like the sea. Suffocation, despairâŠ
For a while, my mind went blank.
It was not until a piercing pain in my fingertip that I gradually came to senses.
At that moment, Ding Yinuo was standing in front of me, holding my hand tightly and shouting at me.
I looked down and saw that I had shattered the glass in my hand.
The glass shards had pierced deep into my palm. Blood was pouring out, staining the cushion on the sofa red. Still, I didnât feel any pain.
âAre you insane?â
Ding Yinuo chided me as he found the first aid kit.
True to his reputation as the best surgeon in A City.
He performed the operation so cleanly and efficiently.
He picked the shards of glass out of my palm one by one, then cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it up.
All done in one go.
âDoes it hurt?â
He asked.
Looking at my left hand, all wrapped up like a dumpling, I shook my head.
With that, I stood up and started to walk outside.
âWhere are you going?â
Ding Yinuo asked me.
I didnât answer him, but calmly walked to the front door, crouched down to change my shoes.
At this point, they were no longer of any importance to me. The only thing on my mind was finding Gu Yuanzhou. freewđbnđšđđđč.đ°đđș
Ask him why he did this to me?
He could have broken up with me, divorced me, or even left me penniless. Why did he want to burn me alive? Why did he want to burn my children?
1 canât understandâŠ
Su Peisheng was standing outside the door, oblivious to the situation,
âLook at you, bringing her here like this, donât you know this is a crime?â Ding Yinuo pushed him away impatiently.
âShe is a suspect. We are helping the police catch the suspects, which is meritorious! What kidnap are you talking about, quit spouting nonsense.â
âAlright, alright, 1 get it. Just release her. Iâll cover up for you later, a bunch of legal neophytes!â
âNo, weâll take her to the police station!â
Since it wasnât Wu Jun who started the fire, Ding Yinuo didnât harbor much hostility towards her anymore.
So he called the police right away, and ten minutes later, they came to take her away.
With the mediation of Su Peisheng, the police didnât give Ding Yinuo any trouble over Wu Junâs assault.
After the police left, I also walked to the front door, and Ding Yinuo stopped me once more.
âWhere on earth are you going?â 1 gave him a cold glance,
âWhat does it matter to you where I go?â
âYouâre not in your right mind!â
Perhaps Ding Yinuo sensed something, that my silence and calmness at that moment were somewhat frightening.
âDing Yinuo, didnât you want me to kill Gu Yuanzhou? Iâm going now!â
Ding Yinuo snorted coldly, grabbed my arm and once again dragged me back to the living room. âNo, you canât go now!â âWhy not?â
âAs I said, you canât go now!â
âDing Yinuo, you hate Gu Yuanzhou so much! Isnât this the perfect opportunity for him to die? Why are you blocking me?â
Ding Yinuo lit a cigarette, then got up, pulled me into the bathroom, turned on the light and pushed me in front of the mirror.
âLook at yourself now, distraught and distracted. Youâre not going to kill Gu
Yuanzhou, but to offer yourself as a sacrifice. Do you think you can hurt Gu Yuanzhou, who is so cunning, in your current state?â
I looked at myself in the mirror.
Indeed, my eyes were filled with hatred.
âSo what do you want me to do? Am I supposed to just sit back and watch him go unpunished?â
Ding Yinuo pulled me back to the living room, roared in a suppressed voice,
âl want him dead more than you do!â
âThen why are you trying to stop me?â
âBut, I donât want you to throw away your life! Itâs not worth itâŠletâs wait. Now is not the time. Gu Yuanzhou has good sources. He should soon know that Wu Jun has been arrested. If Iâm right, the police will be on him by this afternoon.
After all, Wu Jun confessed that he was the mastermind, so he canât escape.â
Ding Yinuoâs words make me enlightened. No wonder heâs not in a rush.
It seems everything is going as he predicted.
âYou should go and get some sleep! Iâll call you when itâs evening!â
Ding Yinuo pushed me into the room and even took away my mobile phone.
âDonât even think about escaping. I will be guarding the door!â He then closed the door.
At times like these, I would have thought it impossible to sleep.
I was anxious, I wanted to find Gu Yuanzhou to confront him.
I also wanted to know how things would unfold next.
But just as I sat down on the bed, a wave of sleepiness overcame me, and I fell into a deep slumber.
That bastard Ding Yinuo must have drugged me earlier!
