Chapter 222 Serious Crimes
She couldn't help but rush over, the impulse in her heart burning like wildfire, and the surprise on her face could not be hidden no matter what. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her eyes stared at the chaotic stalls in front of her with bright eyes.
Seeing this, Cheng Yingzi immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying in an urgent but cautious tone: "Don't go."
Her voice was quiet, but it carried a suppressed warning, and a hint of anxiety and tension flashed in her eyes.
Song Xiaoshan was suddenly stunned when she was pulled like this, then turned her head and stared at Cheng Yingzi straight, her eyes seemed to penetrate a layer of gauze, trying to see what she was thinking.
Her tone was filled with suspicion. "You didn't do this, did you? This is such a coincidence. We just finished talking and it started burning over there."
After hearing this, Cheng Yingzi quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Song Xiaoshan.
Her hands subconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and she quickly and quietly defended herself, "How is that possible? I came here to help you vent your anger today. How could I have known that the stall would be burned down? How could I possibly do such a thing?"
Song Xiaoshan did not believe her words easily. Instead, she looked at Cheng Yingzi's face more carefully.
She has always been extremely sensitive to other people's emotional changes, and Cheng Yingzi's face was obviously pale at this moment, her brows were unconsciously wrinkled, and there was no relaxed smile at the corners of her mouth.
Cheng Yingzi's eyes were a little flustered. She tried to calm herself down, but her fingers trembled slightly uncontrollably, as if an invisible pressure was gripping her nerves.
Song Xiaoshan's heart moved slightly, and the string of doubt in her heart was quietly plucked.
Her smile gradually faded, and the light in her eyes grew deeper.
She suddenly smiled, her eyes revealing a hint of understanding and anticipation. It seemed that this matter was becoming more and more interesting.
Cheng Yingzi noticed the change in her expression and quickly stepped forward, taking her hand. Her tone was almost pleading, "Let's go back. They've already suffered, and we've vented our anger. Stop making trouble."
But Song Xiaoshan grabbed her wrist firmly, her eyes filled with excitement and cunning, and walked towards Song Xiaomei's stall. "Now is the perfect time to add fuel to the fire! If we go and provoke her now, we might just make her collapse! It will leave a scar in her heart, and she might behave herself and never dare to act arrogantly again."
Her tone became increasingly agitated. "We have to go over and take a look. What if she starts crying right there? That would be so liberating!"
Cheng Yingzi's expression grew increasingly grim. She struggled hard, fiercely shaking off Song Xiaoshan's hand and growling, "Go on your own! I won't follow you! I advise you not to wade into this mess. We're already in enough danger."
Just when the two were in a stalemate, Shen Yan and Song Xiaomei, who were not far away, happened to turn their heads and their eyes fell on the two of them.
Song Xiaoshan noticed their gazes and immediately puffed out her chest. With a brisk pace, she walked over with a proud look on her face. With an exaggerated, sarcastic smile on her face, she said, "Oh, someone's unlucky today! Their stall was set on fire!"
She pronounced the words "set on fire" with great clarity, her tone tinged with scorn.
Shen Yan's first reaction was to hear the problem in Song Xiaoshan's words - she deliberately used the term "burned by fire", not a natural fire, but one caused by someone.
Thinking of this, Shen Yan's face darkened instantly. She glanced at her coldly, her tone also became a little colder, and she asked directly: "Did you set the fire?"
Her eyes were like knives, forcing people to not avoid them.
Cheng Yingzi stood there, her face instantly drained of color, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on her. She wanted so badly to slap Song Xiaoshan in the face!
This idiot!
She originally came here to help her cover up the truth of the matter, but unexpectedly, Song Xiaoshan put them on the suspect list so quickly!
Now that they suddenly appeared at the crime scene, weren't they reminding Chen Yan to suspect them?
Things were getting worse than she expected, and she had no control over them. Everything started to spin out of control.
Song Xiaoshan was shocked and immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Her expression changed slightly, but she still tried to remain calm.
She was not actually involved in the incident, so she was naturally not afraid of the police investigation.
But what she was more worried about was whether she would miss this great opportunity to attack Song Xiaomei and Shen Yan.
In the past few years, she has been waiting for a breakthrough.
But they seemed to be doing it on purpose to piss her off, and they were running their business very prosperously.
Not only that, he even bought a house in the city, and his life is getting better and better!
Every time she thought about the dire situation they might be in now, she felt extremely happy and cheerful!
As for Cheng Yingzi, she had only one thought about her in her mind - she blamed herself for being too stupid.
He actually went to set fire!
That is an illegal act, and she knows the severity of the consequences better than anyone else!
But she had absolutely no intention of rescuing her or defending her.
I just hope Cheng Yingzi can find a way to escape, it’s hard for her to even protect herself.
She raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth and said in a cold tone, "Don't say anything without evidence, otherwise we will sue you for defamation."
Shen Yan stood aside, looking at the two of them coldly, her eyes filled with disdain and sarcasm.
A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."
Then, she deliberately made a false move.
"I heard from the police that a passerby saw the arsonist from behind last night, and they are now fully investigating. You should just wait and see the results."
These words were like a thunderclap, striking Cheng Yingzi's heart.
Her body trembled violently, her pupils suddenly dilated, and panic and anxiety flashed in her eyes.
She tried her best to remain calm, lowered her head and dared not look directly at him, trying to hide her inner panic, as if she could not hear what he said.
But her stiff expression and trembling fingers were still keenly noticed by Shen Yan.
Chen Yan saw it all and understood about 80% of it.
Although Song Xiaoshan spoke stubbornly, she remained calm and composed.
Cheng Yingzi was obviously exposed, and her panic could not be hidden at all.
This should not have been done by Song Xiaoshan, the person behind the scenes is more likely to be Cheng Yingzi.
Previously, Cheng Yingzi had secretly done something to hurt her, which resulted in her hospitalization and costing her a lot of medical expenses.
This not only involves financial loss, but more importantly, her legs still ache and she still limps when she walks.
Now, the stall has been burned down by arson, business has come to a complete halt, and it has to cost a lot of money to renovate it.
This series of blows added up to a point where she could no longer swallow her anger.
This time, she was determined to settle the accounts with Cheng Yingzi one by one!
She slowly raised her head, her eyes flickered slightly, and she spoke in a low but calm voice, "The police should have news soon."
"I'm just not sure how many years of prison time she'll receive for this charge of arson and causing serious property damage."
