Chapter 223 Alms
She turned her head abruptly, her sharp eyes glaring straight at Cheng Yingzi beside her. Her lips tightened slightly, her voice low and hoarse, yet with a sense of oppression that could not be ignored, she asked coldly, "Is that so, Cheng Yingzi?"
When Cheng Yingzi heard her name suddenly jump out of the other person's mouth, her heart was shocked and her whole body trembled suddenly as if an electric current passed through her!
It's over, everything is over!
Shen Yan already knew!
Shen Yan already knew about that incident, she was the one who did it!
So how will Shen Yan deal with her next?
What do you want to do with her?
Will he expose her in person, or set up a plan to deal with her in private?
She couldn't imagine it.
In fact, just last night, when she was hiding alone in a dark corner and watching the flames light up and rush up to the sky, she felt a deep regret in her heart.
She was afraid of being caught, and even more afraid of someone losing their life!
If someone was trapped in that room and really burned to death, wouldn't she never be able to wash away her sins in this life?
Even if the people in Chen Yan's stall escaped and nothing happened, what if the fire spread to other shops on Liulin Road and someone else was murdered? What should they do then?
She also thought about going to put out the fire at that time.
But the flames were too fierce. The flames had already reached the eaves and thick smoke was billowing out. The fire was far beyond her expectations and she was completely unable to control it!
She had no intention of harming anyone and had no intention of taking anyone's life.
She just wanted to light a fire and use the fire to scare people.
She just wanted to destroy something and never thought that innocent people would be affected!
She did consider putting out the fire and really thought about saving the situation.
She didn't want to implicate other unrelated people, she really didn't mean that.
But later, when she heard people outside shouting in fear, "Fire!"
Her mind was completely confused.
She was so scared that she felt like someone was grabbing her heart.
What if others find out that she was the one who set the fire?
What if someone saw who she was and identified her?
Then she would be thrown into jail and start eating prison food from then on.
She would rather die than be thrown into jail!
Then her mind began to twist.
If a person does not care about himself, it will be against the will of heaven.
Anyway, the fire has started, and it doesn't matter how big the fire is, as long as no one knows that she started it.
No matter how fierce the fire is, what does it have to do with her?
She doesn't care!
Thinking of this, she grabbed the remaining half tank of gasoline on the ground, held the edge of the tank tightly, and ran desperately into the depths of the dark alley, as if only by leaving there could she completely escape from all this.
It would be easy to be discovered if she carried it all the way, so she found a deserted corner and carefully buried the gasoline can in the pile of garbage.
She was afraid of being discovered, so she brought in some worn-out clothes and other miscellaneous items and covered the jar tightly with them.
If someone didn't deliberately look through the garbage, they wouldn't even notice its existence.
But why was she exposed?
What went wrong?
Was she witnessed setting the fire, or was she seen discarding the gasoline can?
These questions kept circling in her mind and she couldn't figure them out.
If Chen Yan guessed that she was the one who set the fire, her life would probably be over.
She didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
If it weren’t for Song Xiaoshan!
How did she get to this point today!
This stupid woman has no brains at all!
It's all her fault!
She turned her head and glared at Song Xiaoshan fiercely. Song Xiaoshan's face was full of disgust and her eyes revealed deep disdain.
No wonder Song Xiaoshan hates her.
If Cheng Yingzi was really caught and taken to the police station, a person with a criminal record would certainly not be accepted by an innocent girl like Song Xiaoshan.
That's a stain, a stain. Who would be willing to continue to hang out with someone with a criminal record?
Cheng Yingzi tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart, her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
But, wasn't she doing this all for Song Xiaoshan!
If it wasn't for her revenge on Chen Yan...
How could she do such a heinous thing!
Now Song Xiaoshan despises and hates her!
She felt like she was being ignored!
Furious to the extreme, she suddenly gritted her teeth, raised her hand and grabbed Song Xiaoshan's arm, staring at her sharply, but coldly said to Shen Yan who was standing beside her: "Your stall is on fire, what does it have to do with us?"
She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a sneer, "We were just passing by and wanted to buy something, and we just happened to run into you. I heard that your stall burned down, so I made a joke. What, you don't allow me to tease you anymore?"
"You're quite interesting! Dare I ask how many years I'll be sentenced to?"
She raised her chin sarcastically, her tone tinged with provocation, "If you ask me, it's because you've done so much evil and been so immoral that even God couldn't stand it, so that's why your business is on fire!"
"Retribution! This is all the retribution you deserve!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Xiaoshan sneered, her voice as cold as a knife, and she spoke word by word, "Yes, you're right. This is indeed her retribution. But how did you all get out alive? It would be so much easier if we could all burn to death in there together."
Hearing this, Song Xiaomei felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, and felt a chill rising up from her back.
Her breathing became rapid, and her whole body felt as if she had been doused with cold water, feeling indescribably cold.
She originally thought that she and Song Xiaoshan did not have much in common, and there would not be any conflicts or misunderstandings between them, so she had always been calm and felt that nothing would go wrong.
But just now, Song Xiaoshan's words full of sarcasm and indifference, as well as her expression as if she wished she would die, were like a basin of ice water poured from head to toe into her heart, making her feel as if she was falling into an icy cave.
It turns out that Song Xiaoshan really wants her to die!
Instead of being insignificant as she had imagined, there was even some sympathy.
Song Xiaomei's face turned pale, as if all the blood had been drained out, and her emotions instantly exploded.
She glared at Song Xiaoshan angrily, stood up straight with her hands on her hips, pointed her finger at her fiercely, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm so sorry to disappoint you!"
"Not only are we not dead, we are alive and well. Not only is it like this now, but it will be even better in the future, and we will live a better life!"
"But you, instead of going back to your so-called home, act pitiful every day to gain sympathy and trick your parents into giving you some living expenses?!"
Song Xiaoshan was deeply struck by these words that pierced her heart. Her self-esteem completely collapsed at this moment. Her face became hideous and distorted. She was so angry that she couldn't speak, "You——!"
At this moment, Cheng Yingzi no longer had the extra energy to pay attention to the dispute between the sisters.
Her attention was all on Shen Yan.
She was keenly aware that the other person was staring at her with a cold and gloomy look. That look was like a knife, pointing directly at her vital point, as if he would rush over and kill her with his own hands in the next second.
