Chapter 709 The Truth About the Fire
Su Yao's words made Ruan Qi's face suddenly turn pale.
Suddenly, some images flashed through her mind: windows nailed shut with boards, doors chained with iron chains, dried black blood, and corpses lying on the ground...
Su Yao's voice continued, "Xiaoyao Manor is a place of inhumanity. To them, those disabled children are equivalent to useless waste, which can be thrown away at will. However, this kind of 'garbage' cannot be thrown outside, so they chose that villa as a garbage dump to pile up the 'garbage'."
"Two of my friends who were arrested at the same time as me died this way. I still remember that day, two men dragged those two children like animals all the way to the garbage dump and dumped them there without a care. There was no water or food among the 'garbage' they were thrown into. They either starved to death, died of thirst, or died from the pain of their wounds."
Ruan Qi clenched her hands on her knees tighter and tighter.
Some voices seemed to ring in her mind, asking her for help, begging her to rescue them.
Ruan Qi's heart trembled slightly. She tried to keep her voice steady and asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened to that fire? Why did that villa catch fire? Was it someone from Xiaoyao Manor who set it on fire?"
Su Yao shook his head.
"They are not from Xiaoyao Manor."
Ruan Qi: "That is..."
"It's the children in the villa."
Ruan Qi's pupils shrank instantly.
"What did you say?!"
"Unbelievable, isn't it?" Su Yao forced a smile. "It wasn't the people from Xiaoyao Villa who set the fire, but the 'trash' locked up in the garbage dump. Those kids got gasoline and lighters from somewhere and used their last bit of energy to set the whole villa on fire."
At this point, Su Yao sighed softly, "I still remember the scene of that night. The fire was so huge that half of Xiaoyao Manor was illuminated red. I was imprisoned right next to that villa, and I watched the fire grow stronger and stronger, burning all night long, until nothing was left."
The people in Xiaoyao Village were doing shameful things, and they didn't even dare to call the fire police when the villa caught fire.
The fire was so large that ordinary fire extinguishers could not put it out.
So, everyone could only watch the fire burn and burn until nothing was left.
Su Yao clearly remembered the fire that night. He could clearly hear the screams coming from the fire through the thick walls and windows.
The screams were extremely shrill, like curses filled with hatred, and accompanied by flames, lingered in the dark night sky of Xiaoyao Village for a long time.
The cafe fell silent for a moment.
None of the three people at the table spoke.
Su Yao's eyes were a little red, and he lowered his head and stirred the coffee in the cup from time to time.
Ruan Qi straightened his body, his thin shoulders trembling slightly.
Xi Jiu looked at her pale face with heartache, raised his hand to hold her shoulder, and hugged her in his arms.
Ruan Qi leaned on him, closed her eyes, and then looked up at Su Yao.
"Su Yao, how do you know the villa was set on fire by those kids? Did the people from Xiaoyao Manor tell you that?"
Su Yao didn't seem to expect Ruan Qi to ask such a question, and his expression was a little confused for a moment.
"That's what everyone said at the time. The night the villa caught fire, all the bodyguards from Xiaoyao Manor went to put out the fire. I was hiding in the house and heard them cursing and saying that someone had poured gasoline inside the villa and the fire was too big to put out. There were only those children in the villa, and the smell inside was so bad that no one else would go in. So, only those children could have poured gasoline inside the villa and set it on fire."
Ruan Qi: "Where did the gasoline and lighter come from?"
Su Yao was stunned and stumped by the question.
Yes. The people from Xiaoyao Village never entered the villa. Every time they went to throw away the "trash", they would just stand outside the door, throw the "trash" inside, and then leave.
Since no one would enter the villa, where did the children get the gasoline and lighters used to start the fire?
