Chapter 1049:1049 Protecting Xue Lin

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Aunt June’s face was very red, not because she was shy or excited, but because her face was burned by the high temperature. Although it was not as serious as Xue Lin’s, it still made her suffer a lot.

“I don’t like you. When I saw you at the hospital that day, I felt that you were an eyesore, so I secretly followed you and burned you to death.” Aunt June sneered.

“It’s a pity that I was too weak and didn’t pour the gasoline on you. Otherwise, you would have been burned to death long ago.”

Aunt June’s words seemed very logical, but after careful consideration, she realized that they were all loopholes.

“Do you know me?” Tan Rou asked.

“I don’t know you,” Aunt June replied. “I don’t need to know you. I just want to burn you to death.”

Zhuang Liu clenched his fists tightly. He wished he could punch this person to death. Tan Rou noticed Zhuang Liu’s expression and shook her head slightly at him, telling him not to be impulsive. Zhuang Liu released his grip and stood by the window. If he stood next to that woman again, he was afraid that he would really not be able to resist the urge to kill her.

“I remember that after we met at the hospital that day, you didn’t follow me. You don’t know me either. How did you know where my school is?” Tan Rou asked with a smile.

Aunt June’s eyes flickered. “You didn’t see where I went that day. How can you be sure that I didn’t follow you?”

Tan Rou said helplessly, “I took a few days off. I didn’t go to school at all. Even if they followed me, they wouldn’t be able to find where my school is.”

Aunt June did not speak.

“Be honest! Otherwise, we’ll charge you with disrupting official business!”

Aunt June wasn’t afraid at all. She knew that burning Tan Rou was illegal, but she still did it. If she wasn’t even afraid of going to jail, why would she take the police’s warning to heart?

“I don’t knowyou, and you don’t know me, but I knowyour employer…” Tan Rou continued.

“It has nothing to do with her!” Before Tan Rou could finish, Aunt June could not help but shout. “I planned everything. I don’t like you. That’s why I wanted to burn you to death.”

The police officer caught the main point. “You know her employer?”

Tan Rou nodded. “Her employer used to be my senior. However, that senior suffered an explosion four years ago. Her entire body was burned, and her face was the most severely burned. The last time I met them at the hospital, that senior sister went to another hospital for surgery.”

“Then how’s your relationship with that senior?” The policeman asked again.

Tan Rou spread her hands and made a helpless expression. “I don’t have a good relationship with her. The last time we met, we even had a big fight at the hospital.”

The police officer had an idea. “So it was your senior who sent her nanny to burn you?”

Tan Rou didn’t say it directly. “That’s indeed a possibility. I’m not too sure about my specific situation. You’ll have to ask her.”

“Answer me honestly. Did your employer send you to set up the fire?” The policeman turned to Aunt June.

“No!” Aunt June denied vehemently, “I was the one who wanted to burn her. Her face was too beautiful. I didn’t like it, so I wanted to burn her face.”

The police felt that this reason was too far-fetched. She had no conflict with this young lady. It was really difficult to understand why she wanted to burn her to death just because she had met her once.

“Don’t talk nonsense! If you don’t tell the truth, we’ll lock you up in the detention center now!” the police reprimanded.

Aunt June looked indifferent. “Whatever. I’ve lived enough anyway.”

Tan Rou crossed her arms and asked coldly, “How much did Xue Lin give you? Why are you protecting her like this? Moreover, this is a crime. Is it really worth it to send yourself to prison for an employer?”

“I already said it has nothing to do with her!” Aunt June repeatedly emphasized that it had nothing to do with Xue Lin, “I planned this from the beginning to the end. The young miss doesn’t know anything!”

Tan Rou understood that Aunt June wanted to protect Xue Lin. But would Xue Lin be fine just because she protected Xue Lin? Wasn’t that underestimating the police?

When the police heard the name Xue Lin, they immediately requested for Xue Lin to be called over as well. They could not let any of the suspects go.
