Chapter 711 Xi Jiu was in Shanghai ten years ago
If the above speculations are correct, then the question arises -
What was she doing at the villa fire scene?
Also, the villa was Xiaoyao Manor's garbage dump, so logically it had nothing to do with her. But why did the villa fire appear in her nightmares, making her unable to forget it for so many years?
Could it be that she was the one who set the fire in the villa?
As soon as this speculation came to mind, Ruan Qi's blood froze.
She suddenly remembered the screams of the children in her nightmare. They said she set the fire and killed them.
Could it be... that she really set the fire?
Ruan Qi's face turned pale.
Xi Jiu noticed that something was wrong with her and immediately hugged her in his arms and patted her.
"Don't be afraid, baby. I'm here. I'm here."
The man's warm chest and deep voice carried a reassuring power.
Ruan Qi's panicked heart barely calmed down a little, and her cold hands and feet gradually warmed up.
She leaned in Xi Jiu's arms, looked up at Su Yao, and asked, "Su Yao, who do you think set the fire in the villa? Could it be me?"
"you?"
Su Yao was stunned for a moment, and without thinking, he shook his head decisively, "Impossible!"
Ruan Qi: "Why are you so sure?"
"Because the villa is huge," Su Yao answered her. "It has two floors and is very large. How much gasoline do you think is needed to quickly set a house that big on fire and not put it out in a short time?"
Ruan Qi: "You mean..."
"What I mean is, you were only nine years old back then, and there was no way you could have carried that much gasoline." Su Yao saw that she seemed about to refute, so he raised his hand to interrupt her, "I know what you want to say. You want to say that you are some ancient martial artist, extremely strong since childhood, so carrying a few barrels of gasoline is no problem at all. But Miss Ruan, you may not know how strict the bodyguard patrols at Xiaoyao Manor are."
"Every one of us who was captured thought about escaping. But everyone who tried was eventually caught. Xiaoyao Manor's security system is a dragnet. In order to protect the secrets of Xiaoyao Manor, Jiang Chunian hired hundreds of bodyguards to patrol it 24 hours a day. Even if you have ancient martial arts skills, it's impossible to move so much gasoline silently under the noses of so many bodyguards. So, it's impossible for you to set the fire."
Su Yao's speculation was well-founded and Ruan Qi had no words to refute.
She had indeed been practicing ancient martial arts since she was young, but at only nine years old, she wasn't very strong. She could handle a few petty thieves, but she was no match for Xiaoyao Manor's many tall and strong bodyguards.
So, she wasn't the one who set the fire in the villa?
But why did she regard that fire as a nightmare?
Ruan Qi couldn't figure it out.
The memories of ten years ago are slowly returning, but the memories of the night when the villa caught fire seem to be locked up and I can’t recall them no matter how hard I try.
Ruan Qi sighed helplessly, picked up the juice on the table and drank it all.
…
After saying goodbye to Su Yao, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu went straight home.
The little granddaughter had been filming outside for a week and was finally back. Grandma Ruan happily picked up the big spoon and cooked a sumptuous meal for Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi ate so much that her belly became round.
After dinner, she and Xi Jiu took a walk in the community. When she returned home, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Ruan Qi took out her cell phone and the caller ID showed - Brother Wen Ran.
Ruan Qi's heart moved, and she walked to the balcony with her cell phone, closing the glass door to block out everyone's voices.
Then she pressed the connect button.
"Brother Wen Ran."
"Xiao Qi," Wen Ran's voice came from the phone, "Last time you asked me to check Xi Jiu's whereabouts ten years ago, and I found some clues. You should know that Xi Jiu's father, Xi Xiaoran, became possessed, right?"
Ruan Qi: "I know. Is Jiujiu's whereabouts ten years ago related to Uncle Xi?"
"Yes, there is a slight connection," Wen Ran replied. "Twenty years ago, Xi Xiaoran became possessed because Duan Wei was captured by his enemies. Duan Wei was pregnant at the time, and after being captured, she was tortured, causing her fetus to become unstable and nearly leading to a difficult birth. As a result, Xi Jiu's health has been poor since birth."
"Old Master Xi hired many doctors for Xi Jiu, but none of them could restore his physique to a normal person, and he couldn't even practice the Xi family's martial arts. Seeing that Xi Xiaoran had gone astray and Xi Jiu was too weak to practice ancient martial arts, the Xi family's side branch began to think about seizing power."
"As the direct descendant of the Xi family's head, Xi Jiu became a thorn in the eyes of those people. They wanted to kill him."
The Xi family is a family of ancient martial arts, and the one in power must be a master of ancient martial arts.
But Xi Jiu's physical condition at that time was not even as good as that of an ordinary person, and he didn't even dare to touch the Xi family's powerful martial arts.
Therefore, the Xi family's side branch used this as an opportunity to seize the position of heir.
Mr. Xi naturally didn't want to do that.
He used tough measures to preserve Xi Jiu's status as heir, but angered those greedy people in the side branch.
Since Mr. Xi is unwilling to give up his position as Xi Jiu's heir, what if this heir dies?
"The Xi family's side branch began to try to kill Xi Jiu, using assassination, poisoning, and other means. Old Master Xi was afraid that something might happen to Xi Jiu, so when Xi Jiu was thirteen years old, he secretly sent him out of the imperial capital."
When Ruan Qi heard this, she quickly asked, "Where did Grandpa Xi send Jiujiu?"
"Shanghu City." Wen Ran's voice came clearly from the phone. "Patriarch Xi sent Xi Jiu to Shanghu City. The exact address is unknown. But what is certain is that Xi Jiu stayed there for three years, until he was sixteen, when Patriarch Xi decided to take him back."
