Chapter 2419: Setting a Trap
,!
The Hu family was dark, and the lights in both rooms were off, and there was no movement. It looked like no one was in the house. Several families next door were all there, and they had just come back from watching the fire.
"I haven't seen her go out for a day. Is she safe?" The neighbor was a little worried, afraid that Xu Yuetuan would die and stink at home.
"I saw Xu Yuetuan yesterday. She bought meat and fish, all good dishes, more abundant than the New Year." Another neighbor said.
Ye Qingqing frowned slightly. Xu Yuetuan, who was reluctant to buy much meat during the New Year, how could she suddenly buy so many good dishes when it was not a festival?
It felt a bit like eating the last meal of a beheaded person.
Wu Chen knocked hard on the door, but there was no response from inside. It really looked like no one was there.
"Maybe she went out. I haven't seen her since morning." A neighbor said.
Ye Qingqing's heart moved, and she asked, "Haven't you seen her all this time?"
"Yes, the door is always closed, and she never comes out. She may have gone out to visit relatives."
Another woman sneered, "Her relatives have cut off contact, what kind of relatives are they? I heard some noise in the corridor this morning, and I came out to take a look. Xu Yutuan was cooking a large table of dishes. She should be sleeping at home."
Wu Chen got angry when she heard it, and kicked the door with her foot, shouting, "I'll count to three, and if you don't open the door, I'll hit it, one, two... three..."
Wu Chen raised her foot in anger, ready to break in, Ye Qingqing didn't stop him, and watched coldly. Wu Chen raised her foot high and kicked it, but the door creaked open. Wu Chen kicked in vain, and her body rushed forward by inertia. Lu Mo stretched out his hand, picked her up, and threw her aside.
Xu Yutuan stood at the door like a ghost. The room was dark, and her face looked pale and scary like a ghost.
"Why are you knocking on my door? Just because you are rich and powerful, you can knock on my door at will?"
Xu Yutuan's voice was hoarse, and her eyes were straight, which made people feel uncomfortable. Several other neighbors who were watching the excitement stepped back at the same time, and they were a little afraid of Xu Yutuan like this.
"You didn't go out today?" Ye Qingqing asked coldly.
"I don't have the strength to walk."
Xu Yutuan answered woodenly. Her condition did look very bad, but Ye Qingqing didn't believe it. Animals don't lie. The mice have testified against her.
"You don't have the strength to walk, but you have the strength to set a fire?" Ye Qingqing mocked.
The neighbors who were watching the excitement were shocked and horrified.
"Set... set fire? Did Xu Yuetuan set the fire just now? No way... it's too scary..."
"Why would she set fire? It's impossible for her to do such a heinous thing without any grudges..."
...
The neighbors whispered to each other, not believing it too much. Although these neighbors had some problems, or were petty, or liked to spread rumors, that was all. They would not do other immoral things, and they still had a kind nature in their hearts, so they all thought it was incredible that Xu Yuetuan set fire, and they were unwilling to believe it.
Xu Yuetuan's eyes flickered, and he looked very calm. He taunted: "Why would I set fire? I'm so sick that I'm dying. I've been lying at home all day without going out. How can I have the energy to set fire? Go away. I don't have the energy to deal with you."
After she finished speaking, she wanted to close the door, but was blocked by Ye Qingqing.
"Not only did you set the fire, you almost killed Yuanyuan. How could you do that to a three-year-old child?" Ye Qingqing deliberately made the word "Yuanyuan" vague.
Xu Yutuan sneered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I want to harm a little kid like Pingping? Let's go now!"
