Chapter 121: Forest Fire, the Child is Silly, but Obedient
Noticing Bai Shao's puzzled look.
Mina explained.
"I was worried about Philola. After I heard that she was in the giant sequoia forest, I took a helicopter here overnight and searched separately with the private detective. There's only one way down the mountain, and I ran for so long but didn't see the private detective."
Friends in the live broadcast room were speculating.
[Key point: "No one is seen."]
[I suspect he was the one who wrapped the wire around the tree!]
[Does the other party have a grudge against Mina? ]
Mina was in a trance. Traffic in the city was paralyzed, with cries and shouts everywhere. She felt cold all over as she stood there. The private detective was someone her stepmother had helped her contact.
Bai Shao keenly noticed Mina's fear: "It seems that you have some guesses in your mind."
Mina clutched her phone and rushed to the helicopter's location as she rushed home.
Bai Shao returned her gaze to the wild animal park. She was very satisfied with the "customer-attracting methods" of the Siberian tigers and leopards. She stroked the Siberian tiger's shiny fur and frowned slightly.
"You seem to have gained some weight. You can't keep going like this. Let's start with a fat-reducing meal tonight."
The Siberian tiger gripped the iron cage with its claws, shaking it back and forth: "I protest! I worked so hard to gain weight after giving birth to my cubs!"
Bai Shao was ruthless: "Protests are useless."
The leopard gloated over the misfortune, rolling on the ground with laughter: "It's your fault. Who told you to get close to the director for no reason?"
Bai Shao tilted her head: "You too."
Leopard: […No!]
This time it was the Siberian tiger's turn to look up and laugh.
The live broadcast room was filled with laughter.
【The anchor is ruthless and confirmed. 】
【Isn’t anyone worried about wildfires?】
I checked their weather forecast and it's going to rain for the next three days, so the fire probably won't start.
More than an hour later, Mina returned to her familiar home. She jumped off the helicopter, put aside her tension and fear, and limped to the living room without even changing her dirty clothes.
Talking while walking.
"When I was seven, my mom died of illness. My dad took my brother and me into business. Later, when we went abroad, we met Hu He, who is now my stepmother. She was very kind to us, so kind that I really regarded her as my mother."
"After Philola went missing, she was worried and couldn't sleep all night even though it had nothing to do with her."
Mina couldn't understand: "She was the one who helped me find the detective. Why would she harm me? Why would she harm me?"
The viewers in the live broadcast room made guesses for Mina.
[Hu He, Xie Changming's second wife, is married but childless. Let's assume that even if she wants to fight for the property, according to inheritance law, the key is to harm Mina's eldest brother, Xie Amen.]
【Xie Aimon: Are you polite? 】
[Maybe ~ the damage is being done uniformly! ]
Bai Shao was unable to empathize and just listened quietly.
Mina stepped into the living room.
A worried voice came from inside the house: "Oh my God, Mina, I'm glad you're safe. I saw the news that the giant sequoia forest is on fire. Your dad and I are very worried."
Mina looked at the person standing in the brightly lit area from a distance.
Hu He was a strikingly beautiful woman, gleaming like a night pearl, a sight that made it impossible to look away. Wearing a dress and a knitted cardigan, her eyes filled with worry, she looked nothing like the mastermind behind a natural disaster.
Mina raised her phone and pointed the camera at Hu He. She wasn't smart, but she wasn't stupid enough to let anyone take advantage of her. If it was really Hu He who was using Fiorola to harm her, she wouldn't mind orchestrating a gunfight to give him a chance.
Rain mixed with sweat slid down Mina's cheeks to the tip of her chin, dripping onto the floor, creating deep drops of water.
See Hu He's appearance.
Bai Shao's brows furrowed even more. She actually sensed a strong demonic aura from Hu He. Due to the camera, she didn't say it directly, but said vaguely, "Be careful of her."
Mina said seriously, "Well, now I realize how wrong I was. I shouldn't have made arbitrary judgments about someone before I even get to know them. Bai Shao, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Xun Mi must have done something that made you want to teach her a lesson."
Bai Shao fell silent.
The viewers in the live broadcast room were delighted.
The child is stupid, but he listens to advice.
【To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue.】
After apologizing.
Mina took a step towards Hu He. "If it weren't for Bai Shao and Lan Qinglong, the giant sequoia forest would be my grave. Tell me, why did you want to harm me? Where did you take Fiorola?"
Across the screen.
Hu He looked at Bai Shao: "Bai Shao? I've heard of you. Because of you, Xun Mi and her mother were injured and disabled. You don't even know how to repent. You deliberately try to sow discord between me and Mina. What are your intentions?"
Mina was unhappy when she heard this: "What does Xunxun's own sin have to do with Bai Shao?"
Hu He: “…”
These days, she had been listening to Mina say bad things about Bai Shao so much that her ears were almost callused.
What's the result?
Being possessed by another body?
Mina pointed her finger at Hu He angrily: "Don't try to change the subject. Do you think that if you kill me and my brother, you can inherit my father's property?"
Hu He smiled gently and shook his head, "Child, you can't think I'm going to hurt you just because of Bai Shao's words. She's deliberately breaking up our family. Don't be fooled."
Mina retorted loudly: "Bai Shao has no reason!"
Hu He turned his head and looked behind him with a look of grievance.
"My dear, over the years, I have treated Mina and the others as my own children."
"I don't know why she would believe a stranger and think I would hurt her."
"I suggest you write a will and leave all your property to your children. How could I possibly harm them just for money?"
Upon hearing this.
The barrage overturned the previous speculation.
So, it’s not about money.
What's the reason?
Xie Changming's nasolabial folds concealed seriousness and majesty. He stretched out his arms to hug Hu He and comforted her, "When you married me, you aborted our child to take care of our two children. No matter what others say, I only believe you."
Mina took out the USB drive from her pocket and said, "Daddy, I chose to go to the giant sequoia forest to look for Fiorola after watching the surveillance video. She was the one who led me to look for the detective, and she was the one who had the detective create an accident, wanting me to die in the wildfire!"
Xie Changming snapped, "That's enough."
Mina's chest heaved.
Xie Changming raised his eyes: "It seems that I have spoiled you."
Hu He sighed: "Don't talk about the child like that, she was just blinded by someone."
Mina held the phone in both hands: "My dad seems to be under a spell. How can I make him trust me?"
Bai Shao: "..."
Her ability is animal mind reading, not detective ability, so she can't solve the case.
Just then.
Is anyone there?
Suddenly I heard a sound.
Bai Shao automatically translated into Mandarin in her mind and asked, "Does your manor have a basement?"
Mina frowned, not knowing why Bai Shao suddenly mentioned the basement: "Yes, how did you know?"
[Mina, Fiorola is here. Woohoo, can someone please save Fiorola? She's starving...]
Bai Shao finished translating Fiora's thoughts and curled her lips: "Fiora is not lost. She is in the basement of your house."
Mina's eyes lit up and she ran straight to the basement. She pushed open the iron door and was hit by the smell of rust. She walked through the darkness and dampness and looked around, but there was nothing.
The viewers in the live broadcast room were puzzled.
【What's the number of Daxi? 】
[Wow, the anchor flipped over.]
【Squat and turn around.】
