Chapter 49: Chapter 49 The Truth of the Night of the Fire _1

Translator: 549690339

Wu Jun’s face was pale, her lips trembling. After pondering for a long time, she began to talk about what happened that night.

“That day was Zhenyi’s birthday. Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were very happy, and when it was time to light the birthday cake candles, Mr. Gu asked me to turn off the fire alarm system.”

“Yeah! What happened next?”

I listen intently, carefully recalling the details of the past events.

“After they finished celebrating, I shut the fire system again. Around eleven o’clock at night, I got up to go to the restroom and saw Mr. Gu answering a call in the living room…” “Who was he calling?” I asked anxiously.

Wu Jun fell into silence,

“From the sounds of it, it was a woman!”

“Who was she? Who was she?”

“l don’t know. I couldn’t make out what they were saying.”

“Then what? What happened afterward?”

Wu Jun fell silent again,

“After Mr. Gu ended the call and saw me standing behind him, he gave me a sum of money and told me to pack my things and leave.” I was shocked, “Gu Yuanzhou asked you to leave?”

“Where did he ask you to go?”

“l don’t know. He said he wouldn’t need me anymore, asked me to relocate far away and never return! Not knowing what would happen later, but Mr. Gu was my master, if he asked me to leave, I couldn’t hesitate. I took the money, packed up and left. It wasn’t until the next day that 1 saw on the news that there had been a fire at the Golden Bay villa.”

“So, you didn’t start the fire?” 1 asked urgently.

Wu Jun immediately denied it.

“Not me! I would never do such a thing.”

“Since it wasn’t you, why didn’t you come forward and tell the truth?” “Because there’s no one who could prove my innocence. Mrs. Gu and the

children are dead; everyone is suspecting me. I dare not show my face. Besides… Mr. Gu also called me and asked not to show up.”

“It was Gu Yuanzhou who asked you to do that?” I kept questioning.

Wu Jun’s answer remained the same, “Yes!”

Ha! I gave a cold laugh and slumped into the sofa.

If it’s not Wu Jun.

Then it must have been Gu Yuanzhou himself!

He dismissed Wu Jun in the middle of the night, then once again shut down the safety valve of the fire system, and lit the birthday candle in the kitchen, using the candle to ignite the combustible items.

These are the only scenarios that I could think of.

This answer, both unexpected and reasonable.

But it was the hardest for me to accept.

The feeling of heartache drowned me like the sea. Suffocation, despair…

For a while, my mind went blank.

It was not until a piercing pain in my fingertip that I gradually came to senses.

At that moment, Ding Yinuo was standing in front of me, holding my hand tightly and shouting at me.

I looked down and saw that I had shattered the glass in my hand.

The glass shards had pierced deep into my palm. Blood was pouring out, staining the cushion on the sofa red. Still, I didn’t feel any pain.

“Are you insane?”

Ding Yinuo chided me as he found the first aid kit.

True to his reputation as the best surgeon in A City.

He performed the operation so cleanly and efficiently.

He picked the shards of glass out of my palm one by one, then cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it up.

All done in one go.

“Does it hurt?”

He asked.

Looking at my left hand, all wrapped up like a dumpling, I shook my head.

With that, I stood up and started to walk outside.
