Chapter 230 You're just unlucky
Why do you say that?
Even Xu Bai and Cheng Sangsang could sense something was wrong with the fire, so Xu Chi was naturally not surprised either.
Mr. Cheng's new wife was indeed the only one who could be suspected, but...
Xu Chi's eyes darkened: "You think that black mist has found her."
Tu Yao nodded without hesitation: "I didn't have any clue at first, but when I was putting out the fire with Sang Sang's father, I suddenly remembered Chu Man."
"Chu Man is dead, Bai Chumeng has been captured, and it has lost its luck, so it definitely needs to find a new helper."
"What I mean is, Sangsang's father's new wife might be the second Chuman, the second Bai Chumeng."
...
"Impossible...impossible..."
In the hospital, Mr. Cheng lay pale-faced on the hospital bed, muttering to himself.
Tu Yao retorted softly, "Uncle, you didn't think that way when we were in the fire."
Cheng's father: ...
Mr. Cheng's face suddenly flushed red again: "But that's not what you said just now!"
They just told us that his new wife deliberately set the fire, but now they're telling us that his fourth wife also has problems.
Next, should he tell him that all his wives have ulterior motives?
What about all the marriages he's had over the years?!
"...You're just unlucky."
Father Cheng: "You!"
Xu Chi suppressed a laugh and first pulled the person behind him.
No one could stop Tu Xiaomao's sudden attack.
“Mr. Cheng, the police have just summoned your wife, and she has admitted that someone did instruct her to set fire to the old house.”
"As for the purpose, I think you understand: to provoke conflict between the Cheng family and the entire Hong Kong city through a fire—a highly profitable endeavor."
Mr. Cheng immediately looked up, his voice trembling: "You...you're serious?"
"And who is the mastermind behind this? Who is it?!"
Xu Chi said calmly, "I don't know."
Tu Yao frowned upon hearing this and turned to look at her.
He asked in a low voice, "Xiao Chi, that new wife doesn't know about the Black Mist..."
Xu Chi nodded slightly.
Unlike when facing Bai Chumeng, this time, the black mist did not reveal itself.
Tu Yao was immediately deflated.
"So there's no way to get any more information from that new wife, is that it? He can find another accomplice anytime, anywhere, right?"
We are still in danger of an outbreak at any moment.
"If only we could think of a way to make him disappear."
Tu Yao murmured, "But... how can we make him disappear completely?"
"No rush."
Tu Yao was taken aback and subconsciously looked up.
Xu Chi's gaze was gentle as he raised his hand and patted her hand reassuringly: "Don't worry, we'll solve these problems one by one."
"At least this time, Tu Xiaomao has won again."
"It won't dare to reappear for a while, right?"
Feeling the warmth on the back of her hand, Tu Yao suddenly realized and stammered, "...Xiao Chi, I was too nervous, wasn't I?"
Tu Yao pursed her lips and took a deep breath:
"……you're right!"
Solve the problems one by one.
At least, she has come this far.
Tu Yao caught a glimpse of a hesitant figure at the door of the ward.
I don't know how long I've been standing outside.
Tu Yao suddenly turned her head and asked, "Uncle, will you still marry a ninth wife?"
Father Cheng: ?
Mr. Cheng's face immediately flushed red. "Why are you asking this?"
Tu Yao tilted her head: "So, are you still going to marry me or not?"
Cheng's father: ...
"I'm not getting married! I'm not getting married!"
For the first time, the man, well past fifty, spoke with a tone of shame and anger: "I'm never marrying again!"
His new wife was an arsonist, and his fourth wife was a human trafficker who stole a child from the Chiang family.
If his other wives also had problems, then all these years he has been a sitting duck, completely framed!
He's being watched!
If this fire isn't extinguished today, then the Cheng family...
Cheng's father dared not think about it.
Tu Yao asked for confirmation: "Are you really not going to marry me?"
"Authentic guaranteed!"
"I... I need to keep my life to see that brat Cheng Sangsang get married! If I'm not around, what if she offends the Xu family again with her bad temper!"
"That brat, her uncle spoils her rotten. She'll get into trouble sooner or later if no one keeps an eye on her."
The figure at the doorway froze.
A few seconds later, Cheng Sangsang came out.
With her head slightly lowered, she said, "Tu Xiaomao, um... I've suppressed the news of my house burning down, so it won't reach Yanjing for now, but it definitely won't stay hidden from your grandmother. Do you want to let your family know you're safe?"
Tu Yao snapped out of her daze and instantly became alert. "Right away!"
Cheng Sangsang quickly glanced at the man on the hospital bed, her tone cold and hard: "What business is it of yours whether I have a good temper or not? Mind your own business!"
After saying that, he grabbed Tu Yao and turned to leave.
Mr. Cheng snorted irritably and lay back down.
I had just closed my eyes when I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.
I keenly sensed a sudden tension rising in the air.
Mr. Cheng looked up and was stunned.
Before the hospital bed, the thin young man stood quietly opposite him, staring at him with indifferent eyes.
"Young Master Xu, is there...is there something else?"
"Indeed, there are still some questions I would like to ask Mr. Cheng."
Xu Chi withdrew his gaze, took two steps forward, paused for a few seconds, and said calmly:
"...How did Tu Yao leave Hong Kong two years ago?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Cheng's face, which had just recovered, turned even paler.
After a long pause, her voice trembled as she said, "I...I don't know either."
Xu Chi smiled, but his eyes were slightly cold.
"Mr. Cheng, I will only ask once."
Mr. Cheng lowered his head resignedly, "...I really don't know."
“That day, I saw her fall into the sea with my own eyes…”
The search and rescue team searched for a long time but couldn't find it.
"Logically speaking... she... she should be dead."
"No, it disappeared."
Xu Chi lowered his eyes and disappeared...
Two years ago, the original "Tu Yao" disappeared in Gangcheng, and Tu Xiaomao appeared in Xianhe Village.
