Chapter 987 - Catching Fire (2/2)

Helian Zhu sniffed and her voice was choked. “I wanted to marry Sihan so much and seeing that he was going to pick Nan Zhi up, I panicked and did something like that! Auntie, my Daddy has already made me apologize to Sihan and Nan Zhi…”

Before Helian Zhu could finish, Mrs Ye said, slightly surprised, “What? Your father asked you to apologize to Nan Zhi as well?”

“Yes.” Helian Zhu was angry and could not help complaining to Mrs Ye. “I really don’t know what spell Nan Zhi cast on my Daddy. He came to take me himself. There’s another thing I don’t understand…”

Mrs Ye was silent for a moment before she said, “Tell me what’s the matter.”

“I saw Nan Zhi’s mother put a cup my Daddy had drunk from, into a transparent bag.”

Mrs Ye was silent and it seemed like her phone had dropped to the ground. Helian Zhu asked hurriedly when she heard a bang, “Auntie, are you okay?”

A few seconds later, Mrs Ye picked up her phone and said in a strange voice, “Zhuzhu, there’s something I have to tell you…”

…

An Feng slept halfway through the night and felt that her throat was a little uncomfortable. Getting out of bed, she went downstairs to drink water.

When she reached the stairs, she smelled the pungent smell of smoke.

She hurried downstairs and saw that there was smoke coming from the kitchen. Her eyes flashed and she shouted, “Zhizhi, get the children! There’s a fire!”

Nan Zhi was a light sleeper and hearing An Feng’s shout, she quickly woke the twins.

Feng Yao did not leave with Helian Xiao and also stayed here. Hearing sounds, he quickly woke up as well.

He wore his night robe and ran down the stairs.

An Feng had taken out the fire extinguisher and Feng Yao took it from her. “Auntie Feng, let me do it. You call the police.”

Fortunately, the fire was only in the kitchen. Half an hour later, the fire was put out. By now the police had come and was investigating the cause of the fire.

“Fortunately, Auntie Feng came downstairs and discovered in time, otherwise the consequences could be disastrous,” Feng Yao said.

An Feng and Nan Zhi were both carrying a child each. Feng Yao was right, if they were a few minutes late, the fire would probably have spread upstairs.

There was the sound of a car stopping in the yard, but n.o.body was in the mood to care who had arrived. A moment later, Helian Xiao in a black coat, walked in.

Feng Yao explained, “I knew my Lord was still in town, so I gave him a call.”

Helian Xiao looked at the disorderly kitchen and then looked towards Nan Zhi and the twins. “Are you injured?” When his gaze landed on An Feng, it stopped for one or two seconds before he looked away.

Nan Zhi shook her head. “Luckily my mom discovered it early. Everyone is fine.”

“You can’t stay here tonight. Come with me to the hotel!” Helian Xiao said calmly. “After the police find out the cause of fire, I’ll ask them to inform you as soon as possible.”

Nan Zhi nodded. “Okay.”

…

After packing their things upstairs, Nan Zhi and the rest followed Helian Xiao to the hotel.

Along the way, An Feng was silent. Helian Xiao also did not say anything to her and kept talking to Nan Zhi and the twins. Suddenly thinking of the cup in the cabinet, she mused thoughtlessly, it must be burnt and useless now.

An Feng glanced at Helian Xiao from the corner of her eye. If she did not have the cup, it was fine to get a strand of his hair, right?

But he seemed to be ignoring her. It was not an easy feat if she wanted to get his hair!

Not long after arriving at the hotel, Nan Zhi received a call from the police. They had identified the cause of the fire. It was caused by the aging of the circuits in the kitchen.
