"She might have lied to me!" Even now, Qi Heng still believed in Bai Nanqing.
He has been close to Bai Nanqing since he could remember. Bai Nanqing had a very miserable childhood. Her biological father died early, and her mother became a widow with her and her sister. There was no man in the family, and she was always bullied.
Later, they had a stepfather who was a gambler. He beat and scolded them, and they were almost sold off to pay off debts.
He had always felt sorry for her. They were very close and had nothing to talk about. In his opinion, Bai Nanqing might have lied to him.
"Bai Yuankai, you come on and tell us the story! Witnesses said that you were near the Qi family when the fire broke out. What did you do?"
Bai Yuankai's face turned pale, and although he recovered quickly, it still didn't escape the eyes of the others present.
"I remember...how many years have passed since then?"
He put his hands in his sleeves, looking like a rogue.
Xu Xinlan sneered: "You lost all your gambling money again, right? How much do you owe this time? Now your stepdaughter and son-in-law can't even take care of themselves, what are you going to do to fill the hole?"
Bai Yuankai choked and stared at Xu Xinlan with anger in his eyes, "I am your uncle, your only relative in this world, and you can't expect anything good from me?"
He did lose more than 100,000 yuan, and originally planned to return to Bai Nanqing and Qi Heng to get it back, but he was arrested by the police before he could find Bai Nanqing.
"You don't think Bai Nanqing will help you pay back the money, right? When she heard that you were back, she left Guangzhou overnight just to get rid of you, a vampire. Do you know why you were arrested? Because she reported you!"
Xu Xinlan had already expected that Bai Yuankai had gone to find Bai Nanqing and was probably furious about her disappearance, so it was just the right time to sow discord between them and make him confess his guilt.
After hearing this, Bai Yuankai was so angry that he was shaking. "That bitch! She wants me to be sentenced to death so that she can get rid of me and live happily alone? Dream on!"
Xu Xinlan pressed the issue: "If you want to be beaten to death by your debtors, just keep lying. Even if you admit that you set the fire, it will be useless because someone witnessed the whole process. If you take the initiative to plead guilty, you may be sentenced to two fewer years. If you refuse to plead guilty, your crime will be even more serious."
Xu Xinlan's words made Bai Yuankai feel even more guilty. The public security officer opposite him slammed the table and said, "If you still want to tell the truth, we will lock you up and interrogate you slowly!"
Bai Yuankai's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Qi Heng secretly, "...I...I didn't do it on purpose. The idea of arson came from that little bitch Bai Nanqing. She said she could put the blame on the Xu family..."
"You? You actually...you?" Qi Heng suddenly went crazy, stood up abruptly, and stretched out his hand to strangle Bai Yuankai's neck.
"I'll fucking kill you!!!" Qi Heng got mad and the weak Bai Yuankai rolled his eyes because of being strangled.
A group of police officers rushed over and took great effort to pull the two men apart. By then, Bai Yuankai's face had turned pale and he almost died.
"Ahem... At that time, I wanted to throw a cigarette butt to light their mattress on fire to teach them a lesson. I didn't expect the fire to spread so quickly and... to burn someone to death." Bai Yuankai explained with a pale face.
"You have harmed people, why do you put the blame on my parents? My mom cleaned up your mess time and time again when she was alive. If you hadn't killed her, you would have been hacked to death by your debtors long ago. Are you still not satisfied?" Xu Xinlan knew Bai Yuankai's motive very well, but Qi Heng didn't know it either, so she let him die with a clear conscience.
"She is my biological sister, so should she help me? Instead, she only helped me pay off my debts and encouraged the couple from the Qi family to lend me money. I just wanted to let them fight each other and teach them a lesson, but I didn't know that the kid from the Qi family was such a fool that he actually believed it..."
"Bai Yuankai!!! You deserve to die!!!" Qi Heng jumped up again, but was held down again.
Xu Xinlan stood up slowly and glared at the crazy man with cold eyes.
"Qi Heng, did you hear me clearly? Will all the things you have done for revenge over the years make you feel painful and regretful when you wake up in the middle of the night? No, you will! Because you are not even a person, so where does the regret come from?"
Her tone was cold and sarcastic, like a sharp knife stabbing him and making him bleed.
He looked at Xu Xinlan, and was overwhelmed with remorse, unable to straighten his back anymore.
After his dry lips trembled a few times, he uttered three words in a harsh voice: "Sorry!"
"I accept it. You should die, and then go down and tell Nini, tell my parents, tell your parents... That's right, a beast like you will go to hell even if you die. How can you meet them in heaven?"
"You're right, I'm a beast... I actually treated my savior as my enemy and killed my enemy as redemption. I'm such a failed idiot!"
Qi Heng almost finished cursing in a low roar, then raised his hand and started slapping himself violently.
A series of slaps rang out in the interrogation room. He seemed to feel the pain and hit himself hard, but so what?
Would he think that slapping himself a few times would undo everything he had done?
There were several lives lost, why did he think he could just let it go so easily?
Xu Xinlan didn't even look at him and turned and left the interrogation room.
She was not in a hurry to accuse Qi Heng of murdering her mother because there was almost no evidence left in the car accident. Even if it was dug up, even if Qi Heng pleaded guilty, it could still be classified as an accident.
Her goal from the beginning was to make Qiheng go to jail, make him lose his reputation, lose everything, and then die...
After Bai Nanqing was released by Xu Xinlan, she had no identity card and her ID was destroyed, so she naturally couldn't leave Guangzhou immediately. Moreover, she was covered with wounds and itchy parts of her body. She could only cover her face and limp into the city.
She was in this state now, and the police were looking for her because of Nini's death, so she naturally dared not call the police and fall into the trap.
She was planning to look for Qi Heng first, and by coincidence, Qi Heng was also looking for her.
The two of them met unexpectedly at the door of the villa where they used to hang out.
"Qi Heng..." Bai Nanqing opened her mouth to accuse Xu Xinlan of evil deeds, but before she finished speaking, Qi Heng grabbed her hair and dragged her into the house.
Bai Nanqing's scalp was nearly torn. She was thrown heavily onto the sofa, and her head felt dizzy.
"Qi Heng, are you crazy? How could you do this to me?"
"Bai Nanqing, you bitch! How dare you come back? It's obvious that you and your gambling ghost killed my parents and sister, but you lied to me that it was the Xu family who did it. You are a vicious woman! Bitch!"
Qi Heng rushed over, riding on Bai Nanqing and attacking left and right.
Bai Nanqing didn't even have the chance to open her mouth to defend herself. Qi Heng was already mad with anger. Her mouth was covered with blood foam. If she continued to resist, her body, which was already riddled with wounds from the torture, would really die.
Then, as Qi Heng was beating her, she reached out to the ashtray on the cabinet above her head.
"Bang——" She used all her strength to smash the ashtray hard onto his head.
A warm current flowed down from the top of his head, and the blood soon blurred his vision.
A dizziness made him lose consciousness, and then he gradually fell off Bai Nanqing's body.
"So what if I lied to you? And you still blame yourself for being stupid. What's more, if I lied to you, how could you live the good life you have now?" Bai Nanqing stood up and said without giving up.
"So you wanted to use me to seize the Xu family's property from the beginning?"
"You can think so if you really want to."
"Bitch!" Qi Heng's eyes turned bloodshot and he immediately lost consciousness.
