Chapter 100 Will-o'-the-wisp in the middle of the night
"Xi Xi, after grandpa's death, would you rather stay in Xishi, listen to your adoptive father's words, marry Li Nan, get married and have children? Or would you rather return to Xiang Island and live alone?"

"Grandpa, I, I am willing to return to Xiangdao, but, I want to live with grandpa!" Xie Rouxi said without thinking.

Xie Kangnian said with a sure expression on his face: "Xi Xi, good granddaughter, don't cry. Since you are not willing to stay in Xishi to marry Li Nan, then I will arrange for you to return to Xiangdao as soon as possible. But we have to give the Li family a decent life." Tell them so that they will not pester you after my death. Remember your secrets and don’t trust anyone too much!"

"Grandpa, I, I remember, but, but you won't die, won't..." Xie Rouxi still couldn't accept the bad news.

At this point, she was already crying. Xie Kangnian had long been the most important person in her life.She had never experienced the heartache of being unable to let go of family ties before, even if her parents were her biological children.They will only suffocate Zhang Zhaodi, or just ignore it if you are happy, but Xie Kangnian will not treat her like this.

Grandpa let her know what true love is, and she doesn't know how to face his departure. If there is no Xie Kangnian in her life from now on, will the world still be meaningful to her?

"Grandpa, I believe Uncle Wen, there may be good news in two days. I, I am calm, I have calmed down. I can handle the breakup with Li Nan, don't worry grandpa!" Looking at Xie Kangnian's extremely haggard appearance, Xie Rouxi's heart was as sharp as a knife, and she forced a smile and said.

"Good Xixi, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor. I am satisfied to have lived to this age, but I just can't worry about you!"

"grandfather…"

That day, when Xie Rouxi walked out of Xie Kangnian's study, her eyes were swollen like a pair of peaches. No one knew what the grandfather and grandson said.Everyone just felt that Xie Kangnian and Xie Rouxi were both visibly haggard recently, and both of them were exhausted and silent, and they spoke less.

One night a few days later, Xie Rouxi was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and it was not until the middle of the night that the drug took effect and she fell asleep.

Because in the past few days, her sleep quality was extremely poor. Not to mention having nightmares all night long, she couldn't even close her eyes for a long time. She would wake up inexplicably almost as soon as she closed her eyes.

So tonight, Xie Rouxi followed the family doctor's instructions and drank a soothing medicine to fall asleep.Even with powerful drugs to hypnotize her, she still struggled until the latter half of the night before falling into a deep sleep.

At this moment, Xie Zhai, which had a top-level security system, suddenly started a fire for no apparent reason. It was strictly a will-o'-the-wisp.Because it was very strange, the fire started this time very close to Xie Rouxi's room, and her door and window were out of control and could not be opened without any suspense.

The location of this luxurious mansion, as well as its size, meant that fighting the fire would take time.Moreover, the extremely fast and violent fire occurred in the latter half of the night when people were sleeping most deeply, and it was already severely burned when it was discovered.According to normal combustion rules, Xie Rouxi will definitely die or be disabled after the fire.

But no one thought that just one minute after she fell asleep and twenty-ten minutes before the fire broke out, Xie Rouxi had been taken to a hidden place outside the house by Mei Gu.The person lying on her bed was not a real person, just a fake doll with a body shape similar to a real person.After Mei Gu settled Xie Rouxi, she entered her room to make some inspections and arrangements. At this time, she discovered that the security system of Xie Rouxi's house had been turned off.In other words, there is a traitor who wants to kill Xie Rouxi at all costs. It is not known whether this matter has anything to do with Li Nan.Fortunately, Mei Gu was very alert. She waited until the bedroom door was on fire, then smashed the balcony door desperately and took out the fake doll that looked like a real person.At the same time, Mei Gu discovered that the balcony door leading outside was also locked with a chain. Fortunately, her arm strength was amazing and she was able to break the chain.

When everyone stood outside Xie's house filled with thick smoke, shouting desperately to put out the fire, Xie Rouxi, who had woken up, was already standing in the crowd with Mei Gu.

Mei Gu's face was gloomy and her brows were knitted together. She whispered in her ear very vigilantly: "Miss, are you sure it's her? She did it so soon? She can't keep her composure. It seems that Mr. Xie's She doesn’t know anything about it!”

"Yes, she is the most anxious person, where is he?" Xie Rouxi raised her head and asked.

She turned her head slightly and glanced lightly at Xie Rouchen not far away, who was so weak that she seemed unable to take care of herself.Now that she has come out to act, the ruthless conductor behind her must be hiding not far away and watching everything with satisfaction.That man is extremely conceited and perverted, and has always been extremely proud of his shameful methods. He will never give up watching the scene of the victim.

But this time it was strange. Until the fire subsided and everyone slowly dispersed, the person behind the scene who was supposed to appear still did not show his face.On the contrary, Xie Roupin couldn't stop crying. When she saw Xie Rouxi, she was so surprised that she almost shouted that there was a ghost, and then performed a drama vividly.

That's how a woman with her face full of tears kept vomiting and vomited in such a way that others were filled with pity instead of disgust.Xie Rouxi knew very well that Xie Roupin's belly couldn't wait for marriage, and the unlucky successor would be Li Nan.

That person wants to push the Xie family into a desperate situation, to let the pregnant Xie Roupin successfully occupy the dove's nest, and to make everything in the Xie and Li families finally belong to his name. This is the real plan of the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, Xie Kangnian would not agree to this person's plan, Li Yongyi would not let him succeed, and Xie Rouxi would not agree.Even if she won't marry Li Nan, she doesn't like Li Nan, and she doesn't want that person to completely destroy the Xie and Li families.

When daybreak was about to break, the strange fire in Xie's house slowly extinguished. The fire caused nine deaths and one injury and serious damage to the house and property.The nine people who died were very strange. The first one was the middle-aged butler of Xie Zhai, who had worked at Xie Zhai for more than five years.The second person to die was Xie Yuan's personal driver. His death was a bit strange because he died in a lady's room.

This lady was the third person who died, the personal aunt of Xie Yuansan's wife, and she was almost sixty years old.She was 25 years older than the driver. It seemed a bit unreasonable for the two of them to be in a relationship.

Therefore, the fourth person who died made the relationship even more confusing. This person was the daughter of the personal aunt, the 38-year-old eldest daughter who had never been married.No one knows why these three people were in the same room on the night of the fire, and they were all naked. In the end, they were all burned to death in the same room.
