Secret Marriage: Reborn as A Beautiful Model Student Chapter 155 - The Fire (1)

Chapter 155: The Fire (1)

“Elder Sister Chenxi, why did you bring me here?”
Ye Tianxin did not understand what Guan Chenxi wanted to show her.
Guan Chenxi picked up half a candle and a plastic bottle. “I found this here earlier,” she informed Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin was filled with worry and fear.
She looked at the two items and understood what they were.
It was no ordinary fire. It was arson.
But who did it?
Who hated her so much?
Who hated her so much that they wanted her and her grandmother to perish in the fire?
“I will call the cops now.”
Ye Tianxin wanted to get her phone but only realized then that her phone, computer, and other valuable items had all been consumed by the fire.
Guan Chenxi remarked, “I’ve already called the cops, but we might have to wait for a while.”
The night was cold.
In the mountains, a thin layer of fog appeared.
It was getting misty.
Ye Tianxin’s heart was cold.
“Thank you, Elder Sister Chenxi. I can’t imagine what would have happened if you had not woken me up.”
Ye Tianxin did not dare to imagine what would have happened if Guan Chenxi had not been there. She might have only found out that there was fire when it already consumed most of their house. She knew she wouldn’t manage to escape then.
“Tianxin, does someone bear a grudge against you?” Guan Chenxi asked worriedly. Ye Tianxin was silent.
Did someone bear a grudge against her?
If there really was someone, who could it be?
Lu Qingxin?
However, Lu Qingxin was not in Jiameng at this time.
Furthermore, given Lu Qingxin’s character, she would not do something that would leave traces that could easily lead back to her.
In Ye Tianxin’s previous life, Lu Qingxin had only tried to trip Ye Tianxin. She had never tried to cause trouble for Ye Tianxin openly.
That was why Lu Qingxin could not be the person who had set the fire.
Then who could it be?
Could it be Ye Youran?
Could it be her?
“Elder Sister Chenxi, wait here for the police,” Ye Tianxin instructed Guan Chenxi. “I’m gonna head out for a bit.”
Of course, Guan Chenxi disagreed. She was Ye Tianxin’s personal assistant. She could not let Ye Tianxin run around alone. What would she do if anything were to happen to Ye Tianxin?
“Let’s go together!” Guan Chenxi suggested.
Ye Tianxin thought about it before nodding her head in agreement.
Her safety was more important.
It was very late.
Ye Tianxin ran across the bluestone tiles of Jiameng and hurried towards Ye Youran’s home.
She stood at the door and banged it. The banging was very loud, and Auntie Zhu quickly put on her clothes and came downstairs.
“Ye Tianxin, it’s so late. What are you doing at my place?”
Ye Tianxin looked at Auntie Zhu and replied, “Where’s Ye Youran?”
“Youran’s at her room, sleeping.”
Auntie Zhu did not know what happened. However, she responded to Ye Tianxin immediately. This was mainly because the look in Ye Tianxin’s eyes was too frightening.
Ye Tianxin ran up the stairs and pushed Ye Youran’s door open.
Ye Youran was surprised to see Ye Tianxin in her room. “What’s the matter?”
“Ye Youran, tell me the truth,” Ye Tianxin demanded. “Were you the one who set the fire?”
Ye Tianxin’s words shocked Auntie Zhu. She chimed in, “Tianxin, what nonsense are you saying?”
“Ye Youran, I’m giving you a chance right now. Tell me, were you the one who set the fire?”
Ye Youran sat on the edge of her bed. A small smile formed on her lips.
Oh, Ye Tianxin! That’s what you get for being so arrogant!
Continue being arrogant then…
Well, if you could still be…
Auntie Zhu looked at Ye Youran. She had a bad feeling about this. She turned around and looked at Ye Tianxin.
“Ye Tianxin, it’s so late at night and yet you come to my house and asked Ye Youran about the fire? What’s the matter? Did your house catch fire?”
