Aunt Juneâs face was very red, not because she was shy or excited, but because her face was burned by the high temperature. Although it was not as serious as Xue Linâs, it still made her suffer a lot.
âI donât like you. When I saw you at the hospital that day, I felt that you were an eyesore, so I secretly followed you and burned you to death.â Aunt June sneered.
âItâs a pity that I was too weak and didnât pour the gasoline on you. Otherwise, you would have been burned to death long ago.â
Aunt Juneâs words seemed very logical, but after careful consideration, she realized that they were all loopholes.
âDo you know me?â Tan Rou asked.
âI donât know you,â Aunt June replied. âI donât need to know you. I just want to burn you to death.â
Zhuang Liu clenched his fists tightly. He wished he could punch this person to death. Tan Rou noticed Zhuang Liuâs expression and shook her head slightly at him, telling him not to be impulsive. Zhuang Liu released his grip and stood by the window. If he stood next to that woman again, he was afraid that he would really not be able to resist the urge to kill her.
âI remember that after we met at the hospital that day, you didnât follow me. You donât know me either. How did you know where my school is?â Tan Rou asked with a smile.
Aunt Juneâs eyes flickered. âYou didnât see where I went that day. How can you be sure that I didnât follow you?â
Tan Rou said helplessly, âI took a few days off. I didnât go to school at all. Even if they followed me, they wouldnât be able to find where my school is.â
Aunt June did not speak.
âBe honest! Otherwise, weâll charge you with disrupting official business!â
Aunt June wasnât afraid at all. She knew that burning Tan Rou was illegal, but she still did it. If she wasnât even afraid of going to jail, why would she take the policeâs warning to heart?
âI donât knowyou, and you donât know me, but I knowyour employerâ¦â Tan Rou continued.
âIt has nothing to do with her!â Before Tan Rou could finish, Aunt June could not help but shout. âI planned everything. I donât like you. Thatâs why I wanted to burn you to death.â
The police officer caught the main point. âYou know her employer?â
Tan Rou nodded. âHer employer used to be my senior. However, that senior suffered an explosion four years ago. Her entire body was burned, and her face was the most severely burned. The last time I met them at the hospital, that senior sister went to another hospital for surgery.â
âThen howâs your relationship with that senior?â The policeman asked again.
Tan Rou spread her hands and made a helpless expression. âI donât have a good relationship with her. The last time we met, we even had a big fight at the hospital.â
The police officer had an idea. âSo it was your senior who sent her nanny to burn you?â
Tan Rou didnât say it directly. âThatâs indeed a possibility. Iâm not too sure about my specific situation. Youâll have to ask her.â
âAnswer me honestly. Did your employer send you to set up the fire?â The policeman turned to Aunt June.
âNo!â Aunt June denied vehemently, âI was the one who wanted to burn her. Her face was too beautiful. I didnât like it, so I wanted to burn her face.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The police felt that this reason was too far-fetched. She had no conflict with this young lady. It was really difficult to understand why she wanted to burn her to death just because she had met her once.
âDonât talk nonsense! If you donât tell the truth, weâll lock you up in the detention center now!â the police reprimanded.
Aunt June looked indifferent. âWhatever. Iâve lived enough anyway.â
Tan Rou crossed her arms and asked coldly, âHow much did Xue Lin give you? Why are you protecting her like this? Moreover, this is a crime. Is it really worth it to send yourself to prison for an employer?â
âI already said it has nothing to do with her!â Aunt June repeatedly emphasized that it had nothing to do with Xue Lin, âI planned this from the beginning to the end. The young miss doesnât know anything!â
Tan Rou understood that Aunt June wanted to protect Xue Lin. But would Xue Lin be fine just because she protected Xue Lin? Wasnât that underestimating the police?
When the police heard the name Xue Lin, they immediately requested for Xue Lin to be called over as well. They could not let any of the suspects go.
