I was dressed as a vicious daughter, and the villain eavesdropped on my thoughts.

Lu Anan's struggle in Fu Zhiyan's arms suddenly froze. She raised her eyes suddenly, and through her tearful eyes, she saw Lu Wenjing's figure staggering in the chaos, losing his balance, and falling heavily into the ancestral hall where the fire was flickering.

"Big brother!"

Lu Anan's expression suddenly changed. She struggled to break free from Fu Zhiyan's restraints and rushed towards the ancestral hall like an arrow, and was once again immersed in the raging flames of the ancestral hall.

"An An!"

"younger sister!"

Fu Zhiyan's heart tightened, and without thinking, he wanted to rush in with Lu Anan. Lu Yanli also wanted to go back to the ancestral hall anxiously, but was blocked by the iron wall formed by the police and firefighters who arrived in time.

"Sir, please calm down! The fire is already intense. Going in will only increase unnecessary danger. Please let our professional rescuers handle it."

Fu Zhiyan's eyes were filled with anxiety and madness. He struggled hard, trying to break free from his restraints. His voice was slightly hoarse due to his emotional excitement: "Let me go, didn't you see An An run in? Save her!"

Lu Yanli was also extremely anxious, his eyes were red, and he roared: "Let me in, my brother and sister are still in there, I have to go in!"

The firefighters did not reduce their strength at all. "Gentlemen, please trust us. We will definitely rescue the people inside."

Just when Fu Zhiyan was feeling upset and violent, he saw Lu Rongyu stumbling towards him from the corner of his eye.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a bit of sharpness. When Lu Rong ran up to him breathlessly, he asked in a cold voice: "Didn't the village chief say that he locked you up in the cellar? How did you get out?"

The moment Lu Rongyu's eyes met Fu Zhiyan, she couldn't help but flash across her face with a hint of surprise and panic, but she quickly calmed down. With a trembling voice and a hint of horror that was difficult to conceal, she narrated: "I found a sharp stone in the cellar, and I rubbed it for a long time before I broke the rope that bound me. Then I escaped from the cellar."

Her face was pale, as if she was recalling something horrible.

"After I ran out, everyone in the village had disappeared. The whole village was silent. I was so scared that I ran to the village chief's house, but I saw an even more horrifying scene inside. Brother Zhao Junyi and the others had all fainted there. I couldn't wake them up, and I saw that you were not in the group, so I thought about finding you first. I saw the fire here on the road, so I came over."

Hearing this, Lu Yanli's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the figure passing by the ancestral hall involuntarily emerged in his mind. It was that person's push that caused Lu Wenjing to fall back into the ancestral hall. His tone was chilling, and he said slowly: "If I remember correctly, this place requires passing through a large dense forest to reach. How did you see the fire here through the dense forest? Moreover, the fire had just started, and the smoke was not even thick yet. How did you see the fire clearly?"

Lu Rongyu froze for a moment, and explained, "I have already passed through that forest, so I can see the fire here."

Lu Yanli sneered, his smile full of disdain and doubt: "Then it seems that you escaped from the cellar quite early."

After saying that, he suddenly approached Lu Rongyu, his eyes fixed straight into the depths of her eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly raised again, outlining a smile that was both cold and oppressive, and his tone was low and gloomy.

"Lu Rongyu, you know the reason why you can continue to stay in the Lu family and even stand here peacefully. However, you have repeatedly tested my bottom line and challenged our Lu family's tolerance and patience towards you. Then I can only warn you that if you did something you shouldn't have done just now, I will settle accounts with you one by one, and then I will make you live a life worse than death."

A hint of barely perceptible fear flashed across Lu Rongyu's eyes, and she tried her best to maintain her composure: "Brother Yan Li, I haven't done anything. I just got here, why are you saying such things to scare me?"

Lu Yanli's gaze swept across her like ice, then he withdrew it indifferently and refocused on the burning ancestral hall.

Lu Rongyu felt the suffocating pressure suddenly eased. She breathed a sigh of relief and quietly loosened her hands that were unconsciously clenched due to nervousness. She tried to calm down and turned her eyes to the ancestral hall that was illuminated by the fire. She pretended to be worried and asked, "Why did the ancestral hall suddenly catch such a big fire? And...where is my sister? Why can't I see her?"

Gu Shichuan's eyes gently moved around Lu Rongyu, his smile was playful and meaningful, "An An and Brother Wen Jing are still in the ancestral hall. I don't know who pushed Brother Wen Jing just now, which caused An An and Brother Wen Jing to fall into danger again. Although we didn't see that person's face clearly, the color of your clothes, Lu Rongyu, is somewhat similar to the color of the hem of the person's clothes we saw just now. Don't you think it's strange?"

Lu Rongyu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly put on an expression of shock and worry. Her eyes seemed to be filled with anxious tears. Her body involuntarily tried to break free from the firefighters' defenses, and she called out anxiously, "No, this is impossible! How could my sister and brother still be in there?! Get out of the way, I want to go in and save them!"

Gu Shichuan couldn't stand Lu Rongyu's hypocritical face. He moved, stepped forward and hugged her by the waist, forcefully rushed through the firefighters' defense line, took two steps forward, and said with a bit of provocation: "Okay, since you are so worried, then go and save them yourself."

Lu Rongyu was shocked. She had never expected that Gu Shichuan would respond to her "kindness" so directly and rudely. She struggled subconsciously, and her slender fingers dug deeply into Gu Shichuan's arm. The pain made Gu Shichuan let go of her hand. Lu Rongyu took the opportunity to break free, staggered a few steps and stood firm, "Gu Shichuan! What are you doing!"

Gu Shichuan looked at her mockingly and said contemptuously, "Everyone here knows that you don't have a good relationship with An An and the others, so put away your hypocritical face and stop disgusting people here."

The firefighter who had set up the defense line was very annoyed. He drove the two people who were making trouble back to the safe area, and said in an unquestionable stern tone: "Please don't make trouble for our work anymore."

Gu Shichuan glanced at Lu Rongyu and walked back to Gu Tingyan in a casual manner.

Lu Rongyu's face turned red and white, and she felt completely embarrassed.

She raised her head and her eyes involuntarily fell on Gu Tingyan who was standing next to Gu Shichuan.

The eyes of the two people met inadvertently. When Lu Rongyu saw Gu Tingyan's eyes clearly, her heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, and she felt an indescribable anger and unwillingness.

There was no warmth in those eyes, only disgust and loathing.

How could he look at her like that?!
