"Here...did something happen?"
Lu Chaoyang's voice sounded at the gate of the slum, full of curiosity.
"Chaoyang, it's Chaoyang's voice!"
Bai Liyun was one step ahead and ran towards the gate of the slum first.
Upon hearing this, the other people in the compound also hurried towards the door.
Now, there’s something exciting to watch.
The fire was obviously aimed at Zhao Meixiang and her three children, but after the fire was put out, the people who were supposed to be burned to death were gone?
At the gate of the slum, Zhao Meixiang lay weakly on the back of her second son Lu Yao, looking haggard.
On the left and right sides stood Lu Chaoyang and Lu Jun respectively. The four of them looked like they had been to the hospital.
"What are you doing?" Bai Liyun asked what everyone wanted to know.
"Oh, my stomach suddenly started hurting in the middle of the night, so my three children took me to the hospital."
"Is it serious?" Bai Liyun asked with concern.
Zhao Meixiang shook her head.
"Aunt Bai, the doctor said my mother is suffering from the sequelae of the last poisoning."
Lu Chaoyang's words were understood by those who understood, and those who didn't understand understood after asking those who did.
It turns out... there are so many melons in the Lu family.
What about the two rooms that suddenly caught fire this time?
Everyone looked at Lu Guoqing and Old Lady Lu, and became suspicious again.
People are like this. Once they have doubts in their hearts, they will keep looking for clues to prove their guesses.
"Meixiang, Chaoyang, Ayao and Ajun, I'm so glad you're all okay!
Fortunately, fortunately, God opened his eyes and let you escape this disaster!"
Lu Guoqing's face turned pale as he pushed through the crowd and finally squeezed in front of his wife and children.
He reached out to grab Zhao Meixiang's hand, but Lu Yao, who was carrying his mother on his back, took a step back and dodged it.
“It’s you—
You guys set the fire, right?!"
Lu Hongxing's angry voice rang out outside the crowd, filled with anger and hatred.
"What?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Lu Chaoyang asked the people around him in confusion, "What did Lu Hongxing mean by that? What fire? We didn't see anyone lighting a fire to cook when we left."
"It was you and your brother's room that caught fire."
"What? My room is on fire?
It's impossible. I don't even have an oil lamp in my house, how could it possibly burn?"
Lu Chaoyang squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards her room.
When Lu Chaoyang saw that only a few walls were left and everything in the house was burned, he burst into tears.
"My quilt, my bed, my new desk, the gifts my partner and my older brother gave me..."
Lu Chaoyang's eyes were red and he looked heartbroken, which made everyone sigh.
Fire is truly merciless; it can burn everything in its path.
"Chaoyang girl, you should be more open-minded. It's a good thing your mother suddenly had a stomachache, otherwise you guys..."
"The fire was so big at that time that it couldn't be put out even with water. Fortunately, you were not in the room."
"Yes, yes. The fire was wicked. Luckily there's no wind tonight, otherwise not only our compound, but this entire street would have been burned down."
"Uncle and aunt, from what you said, it seems like... someone set the fire on purpose?"
Lu Chaoyang raised his innocent little face, especially his big eyes that seemed to be asking for help, which made people who looked at him full of protective desire.
"Chaoyang girl, whether this was intentional or not, we will definitely assist the police in investigating!"
"What? You called the police?"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her face changed.
“This fire is inexplicable, so naturally we have to report it to the police.
It will save us from the possibility of a fire breaking out out of nowhere and burning down our house!"
"Yeah, this fire is really evil!"
"Aunt Lu, the fire in your house is so strange, don't you have anything to say?"
"What do you want me to say?" Old Mrs. Lu glared at the person who was speaking.
"Tell me why this fire can't be put out."
Old Lady Lu said with a cold face: "Hasn't the fire been put out?"
"But this fire is a little too hard to put out, isn't it?" someone shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Maybe there is something flammable in that room." Old Mrs. Lu said casually.
"Grandma, that's the room my second brother and I live in, not the kitchen, how could there be something that could ignite?
And what could possibly fuel such a fire? Even water can't put it out."
Lu Chaoyang spoke with grievance, the corners of his eyes were red, and he looked so aggrieved that everyone couldn't bear to see him.
"Only oil can fuel combustion so quickly and yet be so difficult to extinguish."
"I found five empty oil drums."
Bai Liyun's man, Yang Bin, threw the empty oil barrel in front of everyone and then looked at Old Lady Lu. "I found it in Old Lady Lu's room."
This sentence made everyone's eyes widen in shock.
Old Mrs. Lu blurted out, "Impossible! I clearly hid the oil barrel next door..."
Realizing that something was wrong, Mrs. Lu quickly covered her mouth.
Unfortunately it's too late.
The moment Lu Guoqing heard his mother let the cat out of the bag, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
Obviously, it is possible that this matter could be framed on Zhao Meixiang and others!
After all, it was such a coincidence that they were not here.
Moreover, his red star actually had his face burned!
That's his face, how could it be burned?
After seeing Lu Hongxing's burned face, Lu Guoqing's hatred reached its peak.
It's fine that the four people who clearly deserved to die were unharmed, but how come his son Hongxing was injured?
Why?!
"Grandma Lu, are you, are you in the same group with Lu Chaoyang and the others?"
Lu Hongxing had already been blinded by anger and bit anyone he caught.
"Grandma Lu, how could you help the evildoer and set fire to try to burn me, my mother, and my aunt to death?
We are all innocent!"
Lu Hongxing bit his lip, tears sliding down from the corners of his eyes, falling on his face that was burned by fire, causing his expression to twist in pain.
“I, I didn’t!
What oil drum? I don’t even know what an oil drum is!
"Red Star, you believe me, but this has nothing to do with me, and I certainly didn't start the fire!"
"Grandma, it's already this late, do you still want to protect Lu Chaoyang and the others?" Lu Hongxing's eyes turned red with hatred.
"Lu Hongxing, do you want my grandma to slander and accuse us?
How come you have a heart as vicious as my dad's?
Are you holding a grudge against my elder brother for taking back his university spot, so you deliberately did this?
Did you burn your face on purpose?
With such a big fire, even if you are sleeping soundly, you should feel it.
If you had run out of the house in time, how could your face have been burned?
Lu Hongxing, you are indeed the most vicious one. Not only did you steal my eldest brother's college admission letter, preventing him from attending college, but you also destroyed your own appearance and slandered us!
You, you are really a wolf with ambitions. Our family has really let a wolf into the house!"
"Lu Chaoyang, shut up!"
