Around a corner not far away, a jeep sat silently in the darkness.
The people inside had noticed the fire too.
"Boss! There's a house on fire over there!"
The speaker was Yang Qi, who had still been in Rong City just a few days earlier.
"It's Yao Qianjin's house!"
His boss gazed in that direction and spoke softly.
It was Gu Zheng.
"C-could Song Ning have started it? Is she... getting revenge on Yao Qianjin?" Yang Qi asked uneasily.
He had arrived in Luyuan Town a day before Gu Zheng and Song Ning.
What his investigation had uncovered over the past few days was truly startling.
Previously, all they had known was that the girl had been abducted and sold on her way to Rong City.
They hadn't known she had fled to Rong City to escape a forced marriage.
Much less that she had nearly been sold to an intellectually disabled man old enough to be her father!
Then there was being forced to drop out of school, exploited by her uncle and aunt, and bullied by her cousins...
All of it... stood in stark contrast to the girl they had seen!
Now she had returned to register for the National College Entrance Examination.
He had been following her at a distance ever since she entered the police station.
In just one day, he had watched her beat up her female cousin, seize a bicycle, rob her male cousin, and even direct the intellectually disabled man to steal a household registration booklet.
How could he put it?
His heart had been on a wild roller-coaster ride!
It was more thrilling than watching a movie.
Because there was no guessing what she would do next.
If she had set Yao Qianjin's house on fire now, it seemed... entirely possible.
