Chapter 360 The Truth
However, this idea was quickly shattered by reality, because many people had already gone to work at this time and were not at home!
Faced with this sudden predicament, everyone couldn't help feeling frustrated and helpless.
They knew that this matter would not be let go so easily, there must be someone behind it!
However, they don't know how to solve the mystery and reveal the truth!
At this moment, Li Youquan happened to pass by the door and witnessed this scene.
When he saw the genuine sadness on Yan Bugui's face and the false look of Yi Zhonghai, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of anger and dissatisfaction in his heart!
He understood that this matter must be related to Yi Zhonghai!
So he secretly made up his mind to uncover the mystery and make Yi Zhonghai receive the punishment he deserved.
When a busy day finally came to an end, Li Youquan returned home with tired steps, only to find that the yard was already in order. Apparently someone had helped to tidy it up while he was away.
This unexpected neatness made him feel a little warm in his heart, but it was quickly replaced by complicated thoughts.
Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai, two former neighbors, are now squeezed into two simple empty houses, barely making ends meet.
The surrounding neighbors lent a hand and helped clean up their homes that were devoured by the merciless flames.
Although this human warmth was touching, Li Youquan did not feel too much ripples in his heart. He just wanted to get away from all the troubles as soon as possible, return to his own little house, and find a moment of peace.
So he turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, a faint sound of conversation came from a corner not far away, like a breeze blowing across the lake, inadvertently stirring the peace in his heart.
Li Youquan paused involuntarily, and at first he thought it was an auditory hallucination caused by his fatigue.
But if you listen carefully, it is indeed a conversation between two people, clear and real.
He thought to himself that maybe he was worrying too much, but out of curiosity, he decided to slow down his pace and quietly approach the source of the sound.
He stood quietly at the foot of the wall, in the shadows, and the whispers of the sisters Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru rang in his ears.
"Sister, why are you so uneasy today? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Qin Jingru's voice was full of concern, and her bright eyes stared at Qin Huairu, trying to catch a clue from her expression.
Qin Huairu forced a smile upon hearing this, but the smile seemed unusually stiff, as if he was deliberately hiding something.
She shook her head gently, without saying anything, but just looked into the distance. There was Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui's home, but now it was in a mess.
"Sister, where did you go last night? I woke up in the middle of the night and found that you were not around."
Qin Jingru's voice sounded again, this time with some doubt and uneasiness.
Li Youquan was originally ready to turn around and leave. After all, these private matters had nothing to do with him.
But Qin Jingru's words were like an invisible thread, instantly connecting them to the sudden fire.
He wondered to himself, how could this be such a coincidence?
Qin Huairu was out last night, and this morning Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui's families suffered a disaster.
Could it be that there really is some unknown secret behind this?
Did I wrongly blame Yi Zhonghai before?
His gaze involuntarily fell on Qin Huairu, and his originally calm eyes now flashed with an inquiring light.
Qin Huairu was not aware of his presence at all, but her face turned pale as paper the moment she heard these words.
The faint smile on her lips disappeared without a trace.
"I just went to the bathroom, I didn't do anything."
Qin Huairu explained with a slightly trembling voice.
She tried to dispel Qin Jingru's doubts with these simple words.
But her heart was in turmoil and could not calm down.
Qin Jingru didn't think much about it, just nodded and turned away.
Qin Huairu was left squatting there alone, quietly thinking about it all.
There was fear, regret, confusion and anxiety about the future in her eyes.
Just when Li Youquan was about to give up looking for any useful clues, he suddenly caught a faint sound.
He listened carefully and finally recognized that it was Qin Huairu who was squatting there, whispering, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was telling some unknown secret to the air.
In order not to attract Qin Huairu's attention, Li Youquan carefully adjusted his position again, trying to make his steps as light as possible and approached slowly.
He held his breath, afraid to miss any word, until he clearly heard Qin Huairu's whisper full of confusion and anger.
"Why? Why was he so cruel that he even spared his own family? What kind of deep hatred made him embark on this path of no return?"
Every word hit Li Youquan's heart like a heavy hammer. The guesses in his mind gradually took shape and finally turned into a definite answer.
This sudden fire is indeed inextricably linked to Yi Zhonghai.
However, Li Youquan was still confused. He didn't understand why Yi Zhonghai treated him so cruelly, even burning down his own house and implicating Yan Bugui.
Such behavior will undoubtedly cause both parties to suffer huge losses and pain.
Does Yi Zhonghai really not know that what he did has violated the bottom line of morality and may even push himself into an abyss of no return?
Looking at Qin Huairu's grief-stricken appearance, it was not difficult for Li Youquan to imagine the fear and helplessness she had experienced last night.
Obviously, she accidentally discovered Yi Zhonghai's conspiracy, which led to today's panic.
I just don’t know if Yi Zhonghai realizes that his every move has been seen by others and his plan is no longer a secret.
Thinking of this, Li Youquan's mouth curled up into a complicated sneer.
He thought to himself that if the two really confronted each other head-on, it would be a wonderful "dog-eat-dog" drama. However, such a drama would undoubtedly be a disaster for the innocent Qin Huairu.
But thinking of what Qin Huairu had done before, Li Youquan's pity suddenly disappeared completely.
After confirming his guess, Li Youquan's disgust towards Yi Zhonghai became even stronger.
He could not tolerate such a sinister and cunning person continuing to go unpunished, so he turned around and left silently, with a plan in mind.
Back in the house, Li Youquan frowned, his face gloomy, and he whispered to himself.
"Yi Zhonghai, if you dare to use your dirty tricks on me, I will never show mercy. This time, I will make you pay the price for what you did."
