There was a low-profile black car parked not far from the villa.
Gu Zhou rolled down the car window, letting in fresh air.
Qiao Nian was wearing a mask and holding a listening device.
“Is there any movement?” Gu Zhou sat up slightly and looked at Qiao Nian. Qiao
Nian handed one of the earphones to Gu Zhou and said, “Looks like we’ll know the truth soon.”
In the villa.
Song Yu looked down at the buttons of her dress. She just hoped that the people inside wouldn’t realize that there was something wrong with her dress. Before she came here, she was worried that they would check her clothes.
“Auntie Cao, she’s...” Song Yu looked at Auntie Cao and asked.
“Song Yu, let me tell you a story!” Song Ling smiled at Song Yu, not seeming to be angry at her hesitation. “Back then, Su Yan and I were good friends.”
Song Yu’s eyes widened uncontrollably. She looked at Song Ling in disbelief. “You and Mom were good friends.”
Seeing Song Yu like this, Auntie Cao couldn’t help but shake her head and remind her, “You’ve already been chased out of the Lu family. The Lu family has already treated you so cruelly. Madam doesn’t even help you. Why are you still calling her Mom?”

“Later on, she finally relented and accidentally knocked over the candles on the table. The Grandma was about to extinguish the candles with water, but the more anxious she was, the more troublesome it became. Grandma accidentally tripped and fell towards the coal stove at the side. At that time, she was wearing cotton clothes. Soon, her clothes caught fire.”
“My husband wanted to pull her up, but he didn’t expect the fire on her to burn him. My husband reached out and pushed her away, but he didn’t expect her to hit her head on the corner of the table and die.”
“At that time, Su Yan was at the scene. We wanted to call the police, but she said that it was obvious that it was an accident. As a forensic doctor, she would help us clear our name of murder. However, we never expected her to turn around and sell us out. Then, the Lu family occupied our piece of land. It was precisely because of that piece of land that the Lu family was able to reach its current state..”
