Luo Mei also rushed over. She was secretly happy when she saw the fire. She stood not far away, watching the flames licking every inch of space crazily, her heart filled with joy. Shen Zhiyi, you too have today! A sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth, as if she saw Shen Zhiyi struggling painfully in the flames.
"What did you do to her?" Xiang Jinzhu stood outside the door, extremely anxious, with beads of sweat covering his forehead. He was burning with anxiety. Seeing the billowing smoke pouring out from the door, he felt a pain in his heart.
"Sister Xiang, we don't know how Zhiyi got here... and... started a fire. I'm afraid it's already..."
Luo Mei and others expected that Shen Zhiyi would not survive. As long as he insisted that he did not know or admit it, Xiang Jinzhu did not dare to do anything to them. They stood aside with gloating expressions on their faces, as if waiting for something.
"That's right, Jinzhu, Zhiyi is dead. It was an accident, and there's nothing we can do about it." The old lady spoke slowly, with a kind expression on her face. She was secretly proud in her heart, Shen Zhiyi, you have today too!
"Accident? Do you think I will believe it?" A flash of determination flashed in Xiang Jinzhu's eyes. She turned to look at the people standing aside. She clenched her fists and dug her nails into her palms, feeling the sharp... pain.
A flash of determination flashed in Xiang Jinzhu's eyes. She turned to look at the people standing aside, clenching her fists and digging her nails into her palms, feeling sharp pain. She tried to rush in, but was stopped by Shen Hong, "Brother and sister, the fire is so big, it's not worth taking your own life!"
Xiang Jinzhu's heart trembled, and she looked at Shen Hong with disgust in her eyes. Shen Hong was worried that the matter would be exposed, and only hoped that Shen Zhiyi would die inside, and would never give her a chance to live.
"Let me in!" Xiang Jinzhu shouted loudly, tears welling up in his eyes. She pushed Shen Hong away violently and rushed towards the burning ancestral hall at all costs. The flames danced wildly behind her, and the heat wave came one after another, burning her skin until it hurt. But there was only one thought in her mind: to find Shen Zhiyi, life or death.
After a while, the door was pushed open violently, and Jiang Yubai rushed out while protecting Shen Zhiyi. Their clothes were still stained with flames, but both men were unscathed.
The faces of Luo Mei and others suddenly turned pale. They looked at Jiang Yubai and Shen Zhiyi in horror, as if they had seen ghosts.
"Knowing!" Xiang Jinzhu exclaimed and walked forward quickly.
She noticed that the corners of Shen Zhiyi's clothes were scorched by the flames, and the wounds on the back of her hands were aching. Her face was full of exhaustion and haggard, but her eyes were unusually bright.
"Go to the doctor quickly!"
Xiang Jinzhu shouted loudly, tears sliding down her cheeks. She hurriedly supported Shen Zhiyi, feeling that her body was as light as a feather.
Luo Mei and others were stunned on the spot, at a loss. The flames had burned down the ancestral hall and the scene was in a mess. The air was filled with the smell of burnt and dust, and the residual heat of the fire still lingered on them.
"Brothers and sisters, let's go find the doctor now."
Shen Hong said hurriedly, turned around and walked out. Xiang Jinzhu helped Shen Zhiyi slowly walk out of the ancestral hall. Seeing the devastated scene, her heart was filled with grief and anger. All this was because of the jealousy and frame-up of Luomei and others, and she vowed to make these people pay the price.
"Want to run?"
Jiang Yubai handed Shen Zhiyi into Xiang Jinzhu's arms and blocked the way of Luo Mei and others.
His gaze was as cold as a knife, making Luo Mei and the others shiver involuntarily. "It seems that the governor's words have no effect. How dare you hurt her?" Jiang Yubai's tone was cold, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
Jiang Yubai drew out the Star-cutting Sword and put it against Shen Hong's neck. The blade of the sword was close to his skin, and the cold sword energy made him tremble involuntarily. Luo Mei and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they did not dare to move. "Do you think you can escape? Shen Zhiyi is the person I protect. If you touch her, you are against me."
Jiang Yubai's eyes were like daggers, making Luo Mei and others dare not look directly at him. The Star-cutting Sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if it would cut Shen Hong's throat at any time.
At this moment, the air seemed to be frozen, and only the cold light of the sword blade flickered.
When Jiang Yubai was about to get to know a few people, he suddenly heard Xiang Jinzhu's voice coming from behind, "Governor Jiang! No!"
If a few people were killed at this time, they would be the ones being targeted. Besides, dying like this would be too easy for them!
"Xiang, do you dare to bring outsiders to hold our family hostage now? You are so brave!"
Xiang Jinzhu looked at Shen Hong coldly, with a mocking smile on his lips.
"Shen Hong, who do you think you are? How dare you yell at me? Let me tell you, Zhiyi is my daughter, and I will never let her get any harm. What happened today will not happen to any of you. Don’t even think about escaping!”
Xiang Jinzhu's words made Shen Hong's expression change. He glared at Xiang Jinzhu, with a flash of cruelty in his eyes. He pushed Jiang Yubai away suddenly, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and rushed towards Xiang Jinzhu.
"Seeking death!" Jiang Yubai shouted angrily, and stood in front of Xiang Jinzhu in a flash. The Star-cutting Sword in his hand drew a sharp sword energy, knocking Shen Hong's short sword away.
Then, he slammed his palm towards Shen Hong and knocked him away.
