The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 391 Returning the Body

After breakfast, Old Man Li left, and the two children went to school together. Xiao Jingchen and Lin Ran also left the villa and went to the company.

In an instant, only a few servants remained in the huge villa.

At that moment, Wang Mei appeared in a blind spot in the back garden, dressed in the clothes of a servant in the villa, and walked in with her head down.

This was the solution Xiao Yunsi came up with for her.

In the villa, this was arguably the best spot if she wanted revenge.

Wang Mei had already come up with a plan.

Since her poor Chu Chu was burned to death, she would make these two vile people suffer the same pain.

Wang Mei devised a comprehensive plan in just one afternoon.

"Chuchu, Mom will avenge you, just you wait and see."

Wang Mei held Ye Chuchu's belongings tightly in her hands, carefully placing them into her bosom.

That night, the door to the servants' room was opened.

Wang Mei came out of the house.

She first deliberately made some noise in the room, and only after making sure no one noticed did she bang open the master bedroom door.

Inside the room, Lin Ran and Xiao Jingchen were fast asleep.

"Lin Ran, Xiao Jingchen, you two are so heartless."

"How could my Chuchu be so pitiful, treated like that by you? You deserve to die, you all deserve to die."

"I'll make you die the same way Chu Chu died!"

Wang Mei put sleeping pills in the dinner that night, but the dosage wasn't too high.

What she wanted was for the two of them to wake up when the fire started, but be unable to escape and forced to watch themselves burn to death.

Ye Chuchu must have been in so much pain when she died, right?

A hint of red appeared at the corner of Wang Mei's eyes. She gritted her teeth in resentment, slammed the door to the master bedroom, then returned to the living room, lit a candle, and collapsed onto the sofa.

The moment the flames touched the sofa fabric, a huge fire erupted with a loud bang.

Wang Mei stood there for a long time, enveloped in the flames, and after confirming that the fire would not be easily extinguished, she turned and left without hesitation.

She can't die yet; she needs to see Lin Ran and Xiao Jingchen's bodies before she can feel at ease.

The fire in the living room gradually spread and headed towards the second floor.

Meanwhile, outside the villa, Old Man Li was happily carrying a basket of herbs.

He never expected to be so lucky; he found such a precious thing after only walking a few steps on the mountain.

He originally intended to make do in the dilapidated brick house for the night, but he was afraid that the two little ones would be angry if they opened their eyes and couldn't see him. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to sneak back in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, Xiao Jingchen had arranged for someone to be by his side beforehand, and they drove him back directly.

As they got closer to the villa, Old Man Li froze, staring at the thick smoke billowing from it in the distance.

Not far away, flames soared into the sky.

Old Li lost his composure instantly. Without hesitation, he threw the basket outside the villa and rushed inside, ignoring the attempts of the people around him to stop him.

"Year after year, we dye it!"

As you approach the villa, a pungent smell of smoke hits you.

Seeing that the fire in the living room had not yet spread to the second floor, Old Man Li hurriedly rushed upstairs and went to Niannian and Suisui's room first.

The two children seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Old Li felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he picked up one of the little guys in each hand.

The door to the master bedroom was open. Old Li's heart skipped a beat, and he rushed in.

Xiao Jingchen and Lin Ran were also fast asleep.

There must be something wrong here.

Old Li had no choice but to put the two children on the bed and reach out to pinch their philtrum without any hesitation.

The two hadn't taken many sleeping pills, and when Old Man Li pinched them, they both woke up.

When they saw Old Man Li appear here, the two of them were stunned. Just as they were about to speak, the acrid smell of smoke wafted in.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take the child and leave!"

Old Li, panting, pointed to the two little ones still fast asleep on the bed and walked towards the door first.

Lin Ran and Xiao Jingchen didn't dare to waste any time and ran out together.

"What's wrong with you two? How could you get drugged in your own home? It's shameful."

"If it weren't for this old man arriving in time, you probably wouldn't even know how you died, would you?"

"Let me see how the two little ones are doing."

Old Li first looked at Niannian, who was still sleeping and seemed fine. However, when he looked at Suisui, his expression changed drastically.

The little guy was breathing very rapidly, and his face was unusually red. When Old Man Li touched him, he found that he was indeed burning up.

After spending this time together, Old Man Li had long regarded Sui Sui as his own grandson, and his eyes reddened when he saw this scene.

"I took him to the hospital."

Xiao Jingchen's eyes darkened. He was about to lift the person into the car when Old Man Li pressed him down on the spot.

"Don't touch him. It's too late to take him to the hospital now. Trust me if you don't want anything to happen to him."

Xiao Jingchen paused, exchanged a glance with Lin Ran, and seeing her nod, he gently laid the person down.

Old Man Li looked serious as he unbuttoned Sui Sui's clothes, took out his needles, and inserted them into the acupoints.

Before long, Sui Sui had many needles stuck in her chest.

Lin Ran covered her lips tightly, not daring to make a sound.

Old Li was extremely nervous, and even his forehead was covered in sweat.

Fortunately, the redness on Sui Sui's face gradually faded, and she looked much more normal.

Old Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the medicine basket he had just tossed aside, and searched through the pile of herbs for a long time before finally finding the thin, small herb, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

The next second, he processed the herbs briefly, squeezed out the juice with his hands, and fed it to Sui Sui.

"Xiao Xiao, you'll have to pay me back for this later. I've been looking for it for a long time."

Seemingly sensing the tense atmosphere, Old Man Li deliberately made a joke.

"Old Li, let alone a single herb, I would try my best even if you wanted the stars in the sky."

Seeing that Sui Sui's breathing had gradually stabilized, Xiao Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the people who were putting out the fire arrived, along with Zhou Qing.

He was initially annoyed by receiving work in the middle of the night, but after arriving here and taking one look, he broke out in a cold sweat.

If the villa hadn't been so large and the fire hadn't spread so quickly, then now...

"Mr. Xiao, why don't you go and stay at the old house for a while? It seems like we can't stay here anytime soon."

Xiao Jingchen looked up at the house and nodded slightly.

Sleeping pills, a fire in the middle of the night—who knows how long that person had planned all of this?
