"Ah? There's a fire. Dad, I don't want to die yet. Please let me go! Husband, please save me quickly..."
Sui Huaici heard Xu Lisa screaming at the top of her lungs in the room.
Sui Maochang's cold voice followed: "Is there any chance for us to survive now? Since we will die if we go out, we might as well burn to death now. This will save us from being humiliated by so many people. I really regret it..."
When Sui Huaici saw smoke coming out from the crack in the door, he was frightened for a moment.
At this time, Sui Huaian opened the door and came in. He was humming a song with his headphones on. When he saw his eldest brother, he greeted him: "Brother, what are you doing? Why aren't you at work?"
Sui Huaian sniffed and said, "I smell a smell of fire? Did you burn something?"
Sui Huaian said this and looked around. Seeing nothing unusual, he went into his room.
Sui Huaici had no time to care about Sui Huaian, because the person locked up in the room was his closest relative.
Even if they were guilty of heinous crimes, he couldn't bear to watch them burn to death.
Sui Huaici opened the door without hesitation, only to see Sui Maochang holding a book and fanning a pile of clothes on fire on the floor at the door.
Realizing he had been tricked, he hurriedly tried to retreat, but it was too late. Sui Maochang and Xu Liqing pulled him in.
The two men then came out and quickly closed and locked the door.
When Sui Huaici was pushed in, his feet touched the burning clothes. He stumbled and fell to the edge of the bed, and the sparks from his shoes ignited the sheets.
"Is there any way to prevent him from telling this to others?" Xu Lisa asked Sui Maochang anxiously after coming out.
"No, he's been stubborn since he was a child. Now, call the beauty salon and ask Ma Xiuqin to wait for you there. Keep her calm and don't let her come back. As for this side..."
"Open the door, there is really a fire inside..." Sui Huaici's sad and desperate cry came from the bedroom.
Sui Maochang walked over to the phone and picked it up: "Lao Ding, go to the warehouse and bring up two barrels of gasoline."
Xu Lisha held her breath and stared at Sui Maochang motionlessly, fearing that her breathing would alarm him and cause him to change his mind.
Sui Maochang put down the phone and walked to the bedroom door: "Huai Ci, as long as you promise not to tell anyone about this, we will let you out immediately. We are still a family, and family disgrace should not be made public. Don't worry, this is really the first time for Lisa and I, and I promise it will be the last time."
Sui Huaici was silent for a moment, then said in a trembling voice, "As long as you release those workers, I can choose not to expose you. I cannot stand by and watch you slaughter innocent people."
Sui Maochang patiently advised, "Lisa's construction of this town is illegal, and many of the funding sources are not legitimate. So if this gets out, we'll be more than just bankrupt. Losing my job won't be a big deal, and even losing my life won't matter."
Sui Maochang paused and sighed deeply: "Lisa is still young! She has done too many illegal things for this town. Any one of them would cost her life. How could you bear to watch her..."
Sui Maochang couldn't continue. On the surface, he was talking about Xu Lisa, but he knew everything in his heart.
If he were to lose his head, he would probably be one step ahead of Xu Lisha. Given his status, knowingly breaking the law would be a more serious crime.
Rather than saying that I was led by Xu Lisha in recent years, it would be better to say that I was enjoying it.
The flame of desire in his heart was ignited by Xu Lisa.
A single spark can start a prairie fire. Before he knew it, he was already in the raging fire and could no longer escape unscathed.
Son, I gave you your life, now... I'm sorry...
Sui Huaici had no idea that Xu Lisha, despite appearing wealthy and glamorous, was actually engaging in shady dealings behind the scenes. As his bedmate, he actually knew nothing about her.
"If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Are dozens of lives not as important as your official hat? You want to be an official, fine, then continue to be one. Even if you don't want to be an honest official, you can't treat human lives as worthless!"
Sui Maochang obviously lost his patience. "There are too many issues involved here, and it can't be explained in just a few words. If there is any way, we will not make this decision lightly. Don't forget that you are my son..."
"Then I'd rather not, cough cough..." Sui Huaici kept coughing.
Sui Maochang glanced at Xu Lisha and lowered his voice: "For you and your town, I even gave up my own son. Do you know how you will repay me in the future?"
Xu Lisa nodded vigorously, Sui Maochang pulled her up and walked out. As soon as they reached the door, the driver came in with two barrels of gasoline.
Sui Maochang took the gasoline and said, "You two go to the car and wait for me."
Xu Lisha sat in the car in fear. It was unknown how long it took before Sui Maochang came out pretending to be calm.
Xu Lisha smelled gasoline on Sui Maochang.
As soon as the driver drove the car to the gate of the community, he stopped the car and covered his stomach: "Sorry, my stomach hurts so badly, I have to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine, I can't drive this car anymore."
——
Xu Lisa drove around the city aimlessly. When she returned to the community, the fire truck had already left.
It is said that the driver was severely burned and almost disfigured in order to save Sui Huaici and Sui Huaian.
Sui Maochang never expected that Sui Huaian was also in the house at the time. Fortunately, the driver rescued him in time and he escaped unharmed.
Sui Huaici was in a coma for half a month. His legs were severely burned and almost had to be amputated.
After he woke up, he never spoke another word to Sui Maochang and Xu Lisha.
