The old lady was completely baffled by what Ruan Xingyao said.
She didn’t understand what Ruan Xingyao meant and only wanted to protect her beloved grandson.
“Stop stirring up trouble here!”
Ruan Xingyao clicked her tongue twice again, then shook her head as if acting mysterious, looking at the old lady with a pitiful gaze.
Seeing this, the old lady began to feel uneasy in her heart.
Ruan Xingyao said, “I don’t know what kind of karma you’ve brought on yourself, being a grandmother to this beast in this life. Do you know? You schemed against your eldest grandson for your youngest, not knowing your youngest grandson actually wants you dead!”
“What did you say!” The old lady’s eyes reddened with fury, almost wishing she could strangle this girl who kept spouting nonsense.
“If you keep babbling nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart!” The old lady shouted at Ruan Xingyao.
Ruan Xingyao said, “Do you know what that gasoline is for? To burn your eldest grandson to death and take you, the useless old woman, with him. Then your precious youngest grandson can take the money and run abroad without worry. How touching is that? No need to even send you to the crematorium for burning — your youngest grandson is so filial. Happy now?”
“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”
The first to lose it was Lin Chi.
He couldn’t understand why this damn girl knew so much about his secret plans.
It was like there was a surveillance camera installed in his bedroom.
Clearly, these things were only mentioned occasionally after he had finished with Wang Hui.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi instinctively looked at Wang Hui.
There was no trace of the tenderness and love from before, only endless hatred.
“It’s you! You betrayed me!”
Lin Chi raised his hand and slapped Wang Hui hard, sending her crashing to the ground.
Her mouth immediately split, blood trickling out.
Ruan Xingyao involuntarily hissed, quietly commenting, “That must really hurt.”
“You bitch! You betrayed me! You betrayed me!”
Enraged, Lin Chi kept punching and kicking Wang Hui mercilessly.
His savage behavior almost made his plan to kill seem reasonable.
Since marrying Lin Ye, Wang Hui had been pampered and spoiled, delicate and weak—there was no way she could resist Lin Chi.
She could only lie on the ground, crying and wailing, “It’s not me… I didn’t…”
Lin Chi grew tired of hitting her but kept watching as Wang Hui’s miserable state worsened.
Even when she was barely conscious, she kept repeating, “I didn’t…”
This made Lin Chi’s mind turn to mush.
He simply couldn’t understand why this strange girl he’d just met knew everything.
Lin Chi’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at Ruan Xingyao, demanding, “Who exactly are you? How do you know all this? Who told you?”
Seeing Lin Chi’s crazed expression, Ruan Xingyao didn’t hold back.
She pointed to the swallow’s nest under the eaves.
“It was them!” Ruan Xingyao said, deliberately furrowing her brows with disgust.
“If anyone’s to blame, it’s you for not being careful. Those little swallows are just babies, but what you’ve been doing has really hurt their innocent little hearts!”
Lin Chi looked at Ruan Xingyao as if she were insane.
Crazy! Completely crazy!
Someone actually told him she could understand what the swallows were saying.
Already furious, hearing Ruan Xingyao’s words made Lin Chi feel like a fool being played with.
This only made him angrier and completely lose his reason.
He glared fiercely at Ruan Xingyao and then strode out.
Lin Ye and Xie Lin didn’t follow, and Ruan Xingyao stayed put.
Wang Hui wanted to move but was too sore and battered from Lin Chi’s beating.
Even breathing was difficult, let alone running after him.
Since learning Lin Chi had planned to burn her alive, the old lady sat on the ground, completely broken, as if all the life had been drained from her in an instant.
Meanwhile, the little swallows on the eaves chirped endlessly.
“The bad guy rushed into the warehouse!”
“He’s carrying gasoline cans—that’s trying to burn us all alive!”
“I don’t want to die!”
Ruan Xingyao released a bit of spiritual energy to calm the little swallows.
These cute little creatures had been chirping nonstop since they entered, exposing Lin Chi and the others’ secrets down to their underwear.
Lin Chi had already poured two buckets of gasoline.
Hearing the swallows’ cries gave him a splitting headache.
He glared viciously up at the swallow’s nest, then swung a gasoline can to smash it.
So it was these little birds who laughed out loud and told that little bitch everything, huh?
Fine, fine!
Then they’ll all die!
Pouring out the last bucket of gasoline, Lin Chi laughed wildly.
“They all deserve to die! All deserve to die!”
He pulled out a lighter from his pocket, his eyes completely devoid of humanity.
“Die, all of you!”
Lin Chi shouted, then threw the lighter toward the gasoline-soaked floor.
However, before it hit the ground, a suddenly appearing drone knocked the lighter away.
At the same time, a group of police officers burst in and immediately pinned Lin Chi to the ground.
Only then did Ruan Xingyao, Xie Lin, and Lin Ye step forward.
Ruan Xingyao’s mouth went nonstop: “Arson and attempted murder, caught red-handed! You’re really screwed now! Congratulations on your new home behind bars!”
Her infuriating expression made Lin Chi even angrier.
Even though he was handcuffed, he kept lunging toward Ruan Xingyao.
But he was weak—police grabbed him by the back of his neck and he couldn’t move.
He only quieted down after being put into the police car.
Ruan Xingyao then turned to Lin Ye and said, “You don’t need to be too upset. You’re not really their family. After your parents passed away, you were so shocked you had a high fever and memory loss, and they took advantage of that to scheme and take over your home.”
Hearing this, Lin Ye suddenly felt a sense of relief.
He looked at Ruan Xingyao and asked, “Was this also told to you by the little swallows?”
Ruan Xingyao nodded and said, “They took advantage of you rarely coming home and spoke without holding back.”
Lin Ye’s emotions became extremely complicated.
Not long ago, he had been defiant and challenged Ruan Xingyao, the expert brought in unexpectedly.
But now…
He looked up at the little swallows under the eaves, just meeting their eyes.
Ruan Xingyao said, “Swallows don’t enter a door without fortune; your luck lies ahead.”
In that moment, tears welled up in Lin Ye’s eyes.
He choked back his voice and said to Ruan Xingyao, “Thank you, Expert Ruan.”
That “Expert Ruan” was spoken with genuine sincerity.
Ruan Xingyao smiled, stretched, and said, “You’re welcome. Let’s just cooperate well from now on.”
