Su Li was his kept woman for four years. During the day, she was a dedicated secretary, and at night, she was his affectionate 'partner.'
One day, rumors spread within their circle th...
Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath and listened.
Xue Ni secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in her heart eased slightly.
Si Ye asked coldly, "Who put this there?"
Alan paused mysteriously for a moment, then looked around and slowly said, "That person is... Song Wan!"
"Impossible!" Chen Qi blurted out, standing up to argue vehemently, "She couldn't possibly have set a fire. She's been here for so long, why would she set a fire tonight? It doesn't make sense. Someone else must have set the fire."
Xue Ni muttered to herself: Why is he in such a hurry to explain for her? Could it be that Song Wan is his type?
Si Ye's brows furrowed in gloom as he pondered the veracity of the matter.
"Bring Song Wan here."
Soon Song Wan was brought in by the maid, but she made a very unhappy statement as soon as she entered the door.
"Why did you call me over so late? It's so late, can't people get a good night's sleep? Isn't that annoying?"
Upon entering and seeing everyone there, her arrogant expression softened. "What are you all doing here?"
Alan said, "I saw you acting suspiciously in the backyard. The warehouse fire must be related to you. I really don't know why Aye kept you here. You're a real troublemaker."
Song Wan's eyes widened slightly. After looking at the expressions on everyone's faces and Chen Qi's meaningful glance, she realized what was going on.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying I set the fire? I stayed in my room all night and didn't go anywhere. Don't try to frame me."
"Are you sure you stayed inside the whole time? I saw you sneaking around in the backyard doing something suspicious, and I even took pictures. If you don't believe me, Aye, look for yourself."
Alan handed the phone to Siye.
Si Ye stared coldly at Song Wan and took the phone.
Song Wan's face turned completely white. She had indeed gone to the backyard, but she was only looking for someone to send the child away. This fire had nothing to do with her.
She's still furious that her child was taken away.
"You still dare to say you didn't do it!"
After reading it, Si Ye raised his hand and slapped Song Wan across the face.
Chen Qi stepped forward and said, "A single photo cannot prove that Song Wan did it; there must be some misunderstanding."
Alan pouted, "I'm the witness, but none of you believe me."
Song Wan covered her slapped face, not daring to utter a single word.
Siye turned to look at the servants behind him, and saw that everyone had their heads bowed low and didn't dare to breathe.
Xue Ni's head was almost touching the ground as she prayed that Si Ye would quickly believe that Song Wan was the one who did it, so that she could get out of danger.
"Take Song Wan away. She is not to be released without my permission."
"I didn't do it, why are you putting me under house arrest? This isn't fair!" Song Wan shouted indignantly.
Chen Qi covered her mouth and dragged her out.
Alan, beaming with pride, hooked her arm around Siye's and demanded a reward. "Siye, I've solved this for you, shouldn't you thank me properly? My room is all tidied up, shall we go over together later?"
Siye shook off her hand and returned to the main seat. "I have things to do. You should go back and rest."
"You've been busy all day, why are you still busy? Are you planning to go to that blind man's place tonight?!"
When Tang Nuan was mentioned, Xue Ni subconsciously pricked up her ears to listen attentively.
Anger flashed across Si Ye's face. "Get out!"
"Alright, I'll invite you over another day." Alan didn't want to anger him, so he wisely turned and left.
Silence returned to the hall, and everyone was even more apprehensive.
"All of you, leave. That's enough for today."
