Chapter 518 Even If You Can’t Kill, You Can Set Fire
Gu Zheng was silent for a few seconds before smiling meaningfully. “You’ll know what’s going on in a while.”
Qiao Xi was puzzled.
She felt that Gu Zheng was hiding something!
Gu Zheng and Song Shiyu left the villa. They were about to leave when they heard rustling sounds in the Xu family’s villa. Then, Xu Anran could be heard sobbing. “Dad, don’t be angry anymore. It’s all my fault. I’m occupying the identity of the eldest daughter of the Xu family, making my sister unhappy. I’ll leave now!” Then, Madam Xu stopped her in a loud voice. “No! Anran, why are you the one leaving? Qiao Xi should be the one leaving!”
Mr. Xu’s face darkened. “Anyi hasn’t been released yet. Don’t provoke Qiao Xi. It’ll be
me if she changes her mind! Anran, go to the basement and suffer there for a while.”

“Dad!”
Mr. Xu was impatient. “You heard what Qiao Xi said. If you don’t go to the basement, then that means you were deliberately targeting her by making her stay in the basement. You’ll anger her. If she’s unhappy and goes to President Gu to complain about you, will your brother still have a chance of getting released?”
Madam Xu quickly shut up when she thought of her son who was suffering in the detention center.
Xu Anran sobbed. “Alright, I… I’ll move to the basement now. Dad, Mom, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I… I’m sorry.”
Gu Zheng turned to Song Shiyu. “Did you hear that?”
Song Shiyu looked up and hesitated for a moment before giving her a thumbs up. “Yes. Young Madam, is so capable!” Gu Zheng could not help but laugh. He was really curious about why the Song brothers were so stupid when they clearly came from the same womb. Hence, he reminded him, “Xu Anran is staying in the basement now. Don’t you get it?” Song Shiyu reacted abruptly and was excited. “You’re finally going to deal with Xu Anran, that scheming b*tch. President, how do you want her to die? I promise I won’t leave a trace!”
“…” Gu Zheng frowned. “I told you long ago not to keep talking about fighting and killing. Can you not be so violent?!” Song Shiyu scratched his head in embarrassment. He was no longer an adjutant, and Xu Anran was not an enemy on the battlefield. He really should not kill anyone.
Then, he asked obsequiously, “President, what should I do?”
Gu Zheng said slowly, “Even if you can’t kill, you can still set fire.”
Song Shiyu: “…”
‘You’re so noble and virtuous, huh? You said that I can’t fight and kill, but you want her to burn to her death!’
Xu Anran sat on the sofa in the living room and cried for a while. Then, she went to the basement pitifully. Madam Xu’s heart ached. “An An has been pampered since she was young. I can’t bear to see her suffer even a little. As soon as Xi Xi came back, she forced An An to stay in the basement… This child is really vicious. How could I have such a daughter?!”
Mr. Xu looked helpless.
Madam Xu was so sad that tears fell. “When I said that Xi Xi should stay in the basement, it was only a temporary arrangement. Our villa in Li City is not big, and there are no other empty rooms. However, as soon as we return to Luo City, I’d arrange a new room for her. However, Xi Xi insisted on snatching Anran’s room. She’s too insensible!”
“Someone! Help! Fire!”
Before Madam Xu could finish, the servants screamed in horror.
At this moment, Qiao Xi was watching a TV show upstairs when she heard a commotion coming from downstairs.
Fire?
If she did not hear wrongly, Xu Anran’s room was on fire. No wonder Gu Zheng said that they would not look for trouble with her. It turned out that he had found something for the Xu family to busy themselves with.
Qiao Xi smiled lightly and walked downstairs with her head held high.
In the living room, Xu Anran was crying in Madam Xu’s arms.
The servants hid in the corner and discussed softly. “This is retribution. Who asked her to target the real daughter of the Xu family? That’s why people can’t do bad things.”
The butler quickly berated, “Shut up!”
Although he did not allow everyone to discuss this matter, he agreed with the servants’ words. How did the basement catch on fire for no reason?
Moreover, the other rooms were not affected. It was just Xu Anran’s room. This might really be retribution. “What are you doing here? Are you here to see your sister make a fool of herself?! You don’t even care about your sister!” Madam Xu berated.
