Sure enough, not long after, the police sent some people over to ask for clues.

As the bookstore was the source of the fire, the two police officers directly asked Lin Gantang about it.

After understanding the basic situation, the middle-aged male police officer said, “The books in the bookstore burn easily, so the fire at the back was very fierce. That’s why other shops caught fire. The fire looked like an accident, but this surveillance video caught the attention of the police.”

He mentioned the person wearing a mask that Lin Zhaonan had mentioned earlier.

“According to our judgment, this is a woman. The time she passed by and loitered around is very suspicious. We want to ask if you have any impression of her figure?”

Lin Gantang looked at the captured image. There was only the woman’s back, and she was wearing very loose clothes that made it almost impossible to distinguish her figure. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Gantang shook her head.

“During the investigation, some people nearby said that the cat cafe and bookstore 100 meters away were envious and imitated your bookstore’s business. They guessed that it was their malicious intentions. Miss Lin, did you have any conflicts with the people from the cat cafe?”

“I know of the cat cafe, but I’ve never been there before. I don’t even know the people in the cafe,” Lin Gantang said truthfully.

Another young police officer was taking notes beside him.

The middle-aged male police officer was Chen Tian’s subordinate and had rich experience in handling cases. After asking about all aspects in detail, he looked at her and Wen Yanqing.

He had done his research beforehand and knew that they were lovers. “Or, Miss Lin, could you think about the relationship disputes? Are there any suspicious people? I’ve handled many cases, and there are countless people who have done evil things in the name of love.”

“My relationship with my boyfriend is very stable.”

A dispute? The only one who could be said to be entangled was Gu Zhichuan.

Lin Gantang paused.

“What did you think of, Miss Lin?” The male officer caught her expression.

“There’s someone called Shi Muzhen. She’s an admirer of my ex-boyfriend. She once told me to stay away from Gu Zhichuan,” Lin Gantang said.

The male police officer got the clue and asked about other details before leaving a short while later.

Lin Gantang sat on the spot, her red lips tightly pursed.

She had been blinded by the experiences of her previous life.

In her previous life, it was Feng Yangyang who schemed and wanted to kill her. In that relationship and marriage, Shi Muzhen did not exist at all. Shi Muzhen had gotten married early and lived abroad.

In this life, because her choice had changed, Shi Muzhen had also changed. Had she gone crazy to this extent?

Lin Gantang pondered.

Wen Rendong was thinking that if Shi Muzhen was the one who had ignited the fire, then the one she wanted to deal with was Lin Gantang? She did not care about life at all. There were so many shops on that street, and if they had been unlucky, many people would have been burned to death!

Wen Rendong looked at his blind son and stood up fiercely. “I’m going out for a while.”

“Stop right there. You want to teach the Shi family a lesson?” Wen Yanqing asked. “And do what? Throw her into the fire and gouge out her eyes?” “Shouldn’t I?” Wen Rendong was furious.

“It would be very satisfying.” Wen Yanqing reminded him calmly, “But you’ve forgotten that this is a society governed by law. Otherwise, I would’ve thrown Gu Zhichuan down the stairs. How could this happen then?”

Wen Rendong stopped in his tracks.

“The Wen family has the best lawyers. If it’s Shi Muzhen, she’s dead meat.”

His voice was icy, and Lin Gantang couldn’t help but look up.

Then, she saw a cold look coming over his side profile. After his gentle eyes were blocked, it was as if he had changed into a different person. He looked like someone she had never seen before.

Lin Gantang was slightly startled and gently touched his fingertips.

A warm and delicate touch came from Lin Gantang. Wen Yanqing froze when he felt it. He retracted his aura bit by bit and called out carefully. “Tangtang?”
