“Hmph, you’ve already cut ties with her. Don’t ever think about using family to ask her for anything.”

Hearing Zhang Cuiyun’s vicious curse, Liu Shuan stopped in his tracks and turned around to reprimand, “Also, this is arson. It’s extremely serious. It’s not something that Qin Xi can help. You have to be handed over to the police station to be dealt with. Just you wait. You won’t be able to come out for at least ten years.”

Zhang Cuiyun and the others’ expressions changed drastically.

Lin Keke couldn’t take it anymore. Her eyes were filled with fear as she cried, “No, I can’t go to jail. I don’t want to go to jail. We were forced to do it. It was Qin Guobiao. He asked us to do it. If you want to arrest someone, arrest him. He coveted the little b*tch’s money. She didn’t give it to us and even schemed to make us lose our house. He, he held a grudge against Qin Xi, so he asked us to burn down the orchard. It wasn’t me. It really wasn’t me!”

“Yes, it’s not us. It’s my grandfather. My grandfather forced us to go. You should catch him instead of us…” Qin Gang nodded repeatedly and cried. He was really scared out of his wits. If he was really caught, his life would be over.

As for Qin Guobiao, he was already so old and didn’t have many years to live. On the other hand, Qin Gang was still so young and had a future ahead of him.

Zhang Cuiyun did not interrupt at this moment. Her identity was different from Qin Gang and Qin Ling. They were grandsons of the Qin family and would not be affected no matter what.

However, she wasn’t. She was the daughter-in-law. If Qin Guobiao knew that she had betrayed him, he would definitely be so angry that he would ask Qin Hongshan to divorce her.

Therefore, she just had to remain silent.

When Liu Shuan and the villagers heard that Qin Guobiao was the one behind it all, they were shocked.

The villagers had an impression of Qin Guobiao as a gentle and calm old man. They did not expect him to be so sinister and vicious. He even wanted to snatch something from his granddaughter. When he could not get it, he used such a despicable method. The Qin family really changed their definition of evilness.

Liu Shuan was so angry that his hands were trembling. He had never seen such an unreasonable family, especially Qin Guobiao. As the head of the family, he failed to set an example. What right did he have to be the head of the family?

Was this kind of person worthy of being a human?

Liu Shuan was furious. “Where is he?”

“At, at Shi Xiang’s house…” Qin Gang said weakly, “We’ve already confessed everything. Can you let us go now?”

Liu Shuan sneered. “No, you’re not the mastermind but accomplices. I can’t let you go.”

Qin Gang panicked. He stood up and wanted to rush out. Unfortunately, he was pressed to the ground by a few villagers. He screamed and struggled with all his might. “I don’t want to go to jail. I didn’t do it. Let go of me. Let go of me!”

“Tie them up and don’t let them escape.” Liu Shuan instructed, “Get Qin Guobiao to come over and ask him if he’s the mastermind behind this.”

A few villagers tied the four of them together. A few villagers went to the Shi family. Qin Guobiao resisted coming, but he was grabbed by the villagers and dragged over.

Seeing Liu Shuan’s gloomy face and looking at the tied up Qin family, Qin Guobiao’s heart skipped a beat. His expression was solemn as he started to take advantage of his seniority. “Liu Shuan, what do you mean? I’m your elder after all. How can you treat me like this?”

He pointed at Qin Gang and the other three and said fiercely, “Also, what right do you have to tie my grandsons up? Let them go, do you hear me?”
