Chapter 658 It really was you

But who on earth is so ruthless?

Knowing there were several young children in the family, why did he still commit such a heinous act?

The image of Zhou Fenglin flashed through Xia Jingcheng's mind: "Could it be Zhou Fenglin? She was injured by me splashing water yesterday, and she's holding a grudge, so she had someone set fire to her house in the middle of the night?"

Xia Ningxi looked at Huo Nanxiao thoughtfully, her eyes bright. "Young Master Huo, that's your mother-in-law. Do you think she would do such a thing?"

His sarcastic remarks were tinged with doubt.

She knew that Huo Nanxiao was very protective of Xia Wanwan, so she wasn't sure if he would also favor Zhou Fenglin because of his affection for Xia Wanwan.

Huo Nanxiao was enraged by her sarcastic words and said, "I'll go check."

"What's the point of investigating! It must have been that bitch! She's harmed Ning Xi more than once or twice. I'm going to kill her right now!"

The usually calm Xia Jingcheng was furious. He would not allow anyone to harm Xia Ningxi and the child, especially at this time. Knowing that Zhou Fenglin was the prime suspect, he naturally could not just sit and wait for Huo Nanxiao to find out the truth and return.

Besides, Huo Nanxiao likes Xia Wanwan so much, it's not impossible that he'd lie through his teeth!

In a fit of anger, Xia Jingcheng limped out of the ward, and several nurses chased after him in a hurry, unable to stop him.

Xia Ningxi hurriedly got out of bed and chased after him towards the door.

"You still need to be hospitalized for observation; you can't go anywhere," Huo Nanxiao stopped her.

Xia Ningxi: "Let me go. My brother is furious and might do something impulsive."

She forcefully broke free from Huo Nanxiao's hand and rushed out of the ward.

Xia Jingcheng had already taken a taxi and left the hospital, so Xia Ningxi could only beg Huo Nanxiao to take her with him.

At this moment, Zhou Fenglin was leisurely sitting at home watching TV.

She said happily, "That's great! Now that we've gotten rid of that eyesore, no one will be able to block our way anymore."

"Mother, we'll be in big trouble if others find out about this," Xia Luoluo warned worriedly.

Zhou Fenglin said, "Your second uncle has already fled abroad overnight. His mouth is more reliable than anyone else's, so don't worry."

"But I'm worried that it will be found out." Xia Luoluo's expression remained solemn.

Zhou Fenglin: "Don't worry, those two bitches have been arrogant and happy for so many years, and they even injured me. This is already letting them off easy. If those bitches are alive, then this matter is over. If they are dead, then it can only be said that they were unlucky and deserved it."

The two had barely finished speaking when a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Madam, something terrible has happened! Xia Jingcheng is here!" The gatekeeper exclaimed in a panic.

Zhou Fenglin immediately sat up straight. Xia Jingcheng? He's not dead? And he still has the strength to come looking for him?

This result was within Zhou Fenglin's expectations, but she was indeed quite disappointed. She asked seriously, "Is it just Xia Jingcheng alone? Did anyone else come with you?"

"Who else would you like to see?" Xia Jingcheng had already gone inside.

Zhou Fenglin glanced at Xia Luoluo, and with just one look, Xia Luoluo already understood what she meant.

"Brother Jingcheng, did you come to see us for something?" Xia Luoluo asked, feigning a gentle expression and pretending to be puzzled.

Xia Jingcheng replied, "Did you set the fire last night?"

"What fire? I don't understand what you're saying." Xia Luoluo looked bewildered.

Zhou Fenglin smiled broadly: "What happened? If you've run into trouble and need me to explain, I can send someone to help you."

"It seems you really did set the fire!" Xia Jingcheng knew at a glance from her expression that this vicious woman was responsible.

No wonder the house, which had always been fine, suddenly caught fire, and the fire was so fierce.

Xia Jingcheng rushed forward and grabbed Zhou Fenglin by the neck; "Do you know that you almost killed us!"

"Hehe, I didn't start the fire, nor did I harm you. Xia Jingcheng, last night's incident was an accident. You can't suspect me of being the murderer just because we had a little argument yesterday. Without any evidence, don't put yourself in jail by spouting nonsense." Zhou Fenglin not only showed no panic, but also started blaming Xia Jingcheng.

Xia Jingcheng said, "Who else could it be but you?"

"Who knows? Maybe it was because you left the stove on last night that caused the fire," Zhou Fenglin sneered.

How could Xia Jingcheng possibly believe her?

Seeing this arrogant face, Xia Jingcheng was furious and suddenly threw Zhou Fenglin to the ground.

The woman opened her eyes wide in disbelief, not having time to react before she collapsed to the ground, screaming in pain.

"Hey, you beast, how dare you lay a hand on me! Men, arrest him!" Zhou Fenglin shouted angrily.

The servants and guards rushed over. Xia Jingcheng glanced around and snorted disdainfully. He hadn't come here today with any intention of letting things go!

They simply smashed up the entire Xia family's house.

When Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao arrived, almost everything that could be smashed in the villa had already been destroyed. This included the Sui and Tang Dynasty jade seal that Zhou Fenglin had bought for 20 million to ward off evil spirits. It was placed in the most conspicuous position in the living room, and Xia Jingcheng had smashed it as well.

Zhou Fenglin was so angry he almost fainted. He was crying his heart out while holding her fake antique, and he even threatened to send Xia Jingcheng to jail.

Seeing Xia Ningxi arrive, Zhou Fenglin was furious: "Why did you take so long? Look at your crazy brother, look at the mess he's made!"

"What happened to my brother?" Xia Ningxi asked back.

Zhou Fenglin cried, "He smashed the antique I bought for 20 million! What did he do?!"

Xia Ningxi suddenly realized: "Isn't that the fake product I bought for 9.9 yuan?"

"You only have nine yuan and ninety cents!" Zhou Fenglin was furious.

Xia Ningxi snorted coldly, walked to the sofa and sat down, slowly crossing her legs, and said, "You should know why we came."

"Who knows what you're doing here? This is my house! You have to pay for everything you've damaged!" Zhou Fenglin roared angrily.

Xia Ningxi said, "Shouldn't you also give an explanation for setting fire to my house?"

"Nonsense. Without any evidence, what makes you say I did it?" Zhou Fenglin asked.

After finishing her phone call, Xia Luoluo ran out and said softly, "Sister Ningxi, we really didn't do such a thing. Please don't wrong my mother."

“We had an argument last night, and it’s perfectly reasonable for your mother to hire someone to retaliate,” Xia Ningxi said.

Zhou Fenglin sneered: "I am indeed angry with you, but your worthless lives are not worth my personal attention. You overestimate yourself!"

Xia Ningxi raised her eyes and looked at her with a sinister gaze.

"What are you looking at? Am I wrong?" Zhou Fenglin retorted defiantly, knowing that Xia Ningxi couldn't do anything about her.

But Xia Ningxi sensed a flaw in his words, and she slowly said, "You're not worthy to do it yourself, which means you hired someone else to do it?"

"You—you're talking nonsense!" Zhou Fenglin's face froze for a moment, then he flew into a rage.

That moment of astonishment confirmed Xia Ningxi's guess. They had known each other for so many years, and sometimes all it took was a glance from the other person to know what she was thinking.

"It really is you!" Xia Ningxi suddenly stood up.
