Lu Ruan woke up one step later than Fu Shuang.

When she woke up, Yan Qiu was peeling apples.

He originally wanted to peel off the apple's skin with one knife, but when he saw the end, Lu Ruan suddenly woke up and grabbed his wrist.

The knife in Yan Qiu's hand was not steady, and it just fell to the ground, and the apple peel was broken in the middle.

Yan Qiu sighed and looked at the person on the hospital bed.

Lu Ruan seemed to be still trapped in the fire, her face was full of horror, her eyes were wide open, and she observed the surrounding environment vigilantly, and it took a long time to calm down.

"Xiaoqiu." Lu Ruan finally breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that he had escaped from the fire, and slowly called his name.

Yan Qiu picked up the fruit knife on the ground, looked down at her, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you need me to call the doctor?"

Lu Ruan shook her head, thinking of the scene in the fire, the fingers holding his wrist kept tightening, gratefully said: "Thank you for saving mom."

Yan Qiu didn't speak, but showed a cold and indifferent smile.

"Where's your father?"

"The police are here, and they are investigating the fire in the villa, and he is accompanying them."

When Lu Ruan heard the words, she immediately reacted, "Police? You mean this fire is..."

Speaking of this, Lu Ruan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped in the middle of the sentence, but the expression on his face was surprised.

Yan Qiu knew that it would be hard for her to believe it for a while, but she broke her fantasy cleanly.

"What else? Will the fire start for no reason?"

"Then who do you think it will be?" Lu Ruan still felt unbelievable.

Yan Qiu took a bite of the freshly peeled apple and asked, "Who do you think it could be?"

"A thief? After stealing things, you are afraid of being discovered, so you set fire to destroy the corpse?"

It's just that Lu Ruan felt that his idea was not realistic just after speaking.

After all, the ski resort here is a membership system, and most people can't get in, so where do the thieves come from?

"Who could it be?" Lu Ruan sighed in embarrassment.

Yan Qiu didn't say anything, but left time for her to think while eating the apple.

Seeing that she had no clue for a long time, she half-truthfully said: "Maybe the murderer is by my side."

"Beside?" Lu Ruan looked up at him abruptly, then smiled unnaturally, "How is that possible."

"I didn't say definitely, I just offered an idea." Yan Qiu said lightly.

"I was the first to escape that night, followed by my father and elder brother, and you and Fu Shuangchi were the last to escape."

The memory of that night probably wasn't very good, as soon as Lu Ruan recalled it, a painful expression flashed across his face.

"Father and you share the same bed every night, did the fire not wake you up?"

When Lu Ruan heard this, his face paled instantly.

That night she was woken up by choking, and when she opened her eyes, she felt that the sky was dark and the room was filled with thick black smoke.

She wanted to go out, but she was so weak that she couldn't even turn over.

The surrounding air seemed to be consumed by a fire, and it was difficult to even breathe.

"Old Fu?"

She struggled to stretch out her hand to the side, but what made her heart cold was that the side was empty and there was no one at all.

The situation at that time could no longer allow her to think too much, so she could only struggle to get off the bed and crawl out on her own.

However, she had no strength in her hands and feet at all, and she couldn't move very far for a long time.

Just when she was about to despair, the door was kicked open, and then Fu Chenze ran in and helped her up.

Lu Ruan passed out at that time.

When she woke up again, she was lying on the stairs on the first floor.

Fu Shuangchi also fell to the ground, and Fu Chenze was trying to pick him up.

It seemed that there was no way to support the two of them at the same time, and they accidentally dropped them.

Lu Ruan coughed a few times and tried hard to sit up, but couldn't do it at all.

He could only wait for Fu Chenze to help him.

However, he didn't expect Fu Chenze to walk out first, holding Fu Shuangchi in his arms.

Only Yan Qiu.

She could only reach out her hand to Yan Qiu.

She was worried that Yan Qiu would die without saving her, but fortunately, her second son saved her.

only……

"Where's Shen Ze?" Lu Ruan asked Yan Qiu.

"He's taking care of Fu Shuangchi."

"Is Shuangchi still awake?"

"No."

Lu Ruan didn't speak.

It's just that started to think about it in heart.

If it was really their family who set the fire, who would it be?

Shuang Chi is still in a coma, could it be Old Fu?It can't be Shen Ze, right?

But she couldn't think of a reason why they did it.

If it's Old Fu, could it be that he's having an affair?But everything is normal in the company, and he goes home on time every day.

Except that Shen Ze was a little too concerned about Shuang Chi, there was nothing unusual about it.

Yan Qiu?

But if it was him, why did he save himself?

There were too many thoughts in her mind, Lu Ruan only felt that she was about to be tortured and went crazy, and couldn't think of anything at all.

But no matter what the truth is, Fu Jianting left her to escape alone in the fire, and Fu Chenze only cared about saving Fu Shuangchi, which really made her feel a little chilled.

Who would have thought that after decades of painstaking efforts, they were not as good as Yan Qiu in the end.

Yan Qiu quietly watched the change in her expression, guessing what she was thinking at this time, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

Just a little curious, if she knew that the fire was set by his youngest son who had been hurting for twenty years, what a wonderful look would appear on her face.

Soon the investigation of the fire had the results, and there were indeed traces of arson.

But because the villa has been almost burned down, many clues are gone, so nothing can be found for a while.

Fu Jianting was silent for a long time when he heard the news. Taking advantage of Yan Qiu's absence, he called Fu Chenze and announced the result in Lu Ruan's ward.

"The police said it was not an accident that there would be a fire this time."

Fu Chenze was surprised by this, but Lu Ruan was reminded by Yan Qiu, so he didn't look surprised.

"How could it be man-made? Dad, do you mean someone wants our family to die?"

Fu Jianting sighed when he heard the words, "I don't want to believe it either."

"Who do you think it is?" Lu Ruan asked calmly, half lying down.

After all, Fu Jianting felt somewhat guilty about leaving her behind in the fire last time, so he has been avoiding Lu Ruan these days.

Today is the first time the couple have met.

Hearing her question, Fu Jianting immediately said: "First of all, you and Xiaochi must be ruled out. The two of you have suffered the most serious injuries this time, so it must not be you."

Lu Ruan heard what he said, and saw that he was avoiding Yan Qiu, so she asked directly: "You think it's Xiao Qiu?"

Fu Jianting didn't say anything, it was a tacit agreement.

"It can't be him." Lu Ruan said immediately.

"When the fire broke out that day, he was the first to run out. If he didn't know in advance, how could he run so timely?"

When Fu Chenze heard this, he also said: "Indeed, when Dad and I went out that day, I saw him standing at the door of the villa, watching the fire burning. I didn't realize it at the time, but now that I think about it, is he a little too calm?"

Lu Ruan snorted coldly, "Is it because he set the fire by running out first? Then you two ran very fast."

"Lu Ruan." Fu Jianting yelled helplessly, "Don't be angry."

"I didn't say anything angry, I just felt that Xiaoqiu had no reason to do so."

"Maybe he has always hated us?" Fu Jianting said.

"Hate us?" Lu Ruan asked puzzled.

"You also know that he is not close to us. After all, he was not brought up by his side since he was a child."

"But he saved me. If you hate us, why would you risk your life to save me? Isn't it good to let me die in that fire?"

"Maybe it's to get rid of my suspicions." Fu Chenze said suddenly.

"Stop talking." Lu Ruan interrupted him with a complicated expression, "Anyway, I don't believe Xiao Qiu did it."

"Mom, but who else is he? Don't you think it will be me and my father?"

"I..." Lu Ruan suddenly became hoarse.

"It can't be Shuang Chi." Fu Chenze sighed, "He's still lying on the hospital bed."

Lu Ruan was completely speechless, "But... I still don't think it's him."

No one could convince anyone, and there was silence in the ward for a while.

However, at this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and then, Yan Qiu walked in with lunch.

Recently, Fu Jianting said that he was cooperating with the police investigation and was so busy that Fu Chenze spent 80% of his day in Fu Shuangchi's ward.

Therefore, the responsibility of taking care of Lu Ruan fell on him inexplicably.

But Yan Qiu didn't refuse, anyway, he just brought some food for her every day, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to pack another after going out to eat.

Yan Qiu pushed open the door and saw that Fu Jianting and Fu Shuangchi were there, so he had an intuition that it must not be discussing something good.

But didn't care too much. After all, can guess, and the matter that needs to be discussed while he is not around must have something to do with him.

Maybe it is suspected that he set the fire in the villa.

But Yan Qiu didn't show anything, just took out the packed porridge and said to Lu Ruan, "Mom, it's time to eat."

Lu Ruan nodded at him, took the porridge handed over by Yan Qiu and slowly drank it.

While drinking, he carefully looked at Yan Qiu, but seeing his calm expression, he couldn't see anything.

So after taking two sips, he still couldn't help but said: "Xiaoqiu, your father said that the police have confirmed that the fire in the villa this time was man-made."

"Oh." Yan Qiu said indifferently.

"Aren't you surprised?" Seeing that his reaction was so flat, Fu Chenze asked him curiously.

"Why should you be surprised by such an obvious thing? It's not man-made. Will the fire start itself in the middle of the night?" Yan Qiu said, looking at him with a half-smile.

Fu Chenze was taken aback by what he said, nodded, and echoed: "That's right."

"Then do you have any clues?" Fu Jianting asked suddenly.

"Clue?" Yan Qiu turned his head and looked at Fu Jianting, "You should ask the police, how could I have a clue?"

Yan Qiu's attitude of resistance was too obvious, so Fu Jianting didn't ask any further.

"But you don't have to worry." Yan Qiu said, picking up the oranges on the table while peeling them, "The police uncles are so wise and powerful, I believe the results will come to light soon."

While talking, Fu Jianting's phone rang suddenly.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that the caller ID was the xx city bureau they had filed a case against.

Fu Jianting glanced at Yan Qiu and pressed the connect button.

Soon, the voice of the policeman handling the case came from over there, "Hello, is this Mr. Fu Jianting?"

"Yes, it's me."

"There is a clue in your case..."

Yan Qiu stuffed the peeled orange into his mouth while looking at Fu Jianting.

He didn't know what he heard, his complexion changed instantly, and the fingers holding the phone trembled.

"What did you say? Did you make a mistake?"

"how come……"

Fu Jianting's face turned pale, as if he had received a huge blow, and he didn't put down his phone slowly until the sound of "Didi" hanging up from the other side had been heard for a long time.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Lu Ruan asked hastily upon seeing this.

Fu Chenze was also taken aback by his current state, and asked, "Dad, did the murderer catch it? What did the police say?"

Fu Jianting raised his head, his eyes fell on Yan Qiu for a moment, and then quickly moved away.

His back, which had always been straight, was slightly bent, as if the spirit that had been supporting him was suddenly taken away, and his body shook slightly.

Fu Jianting stretched out his hand to support the railing of the hospital bed before he forced himself to stand up straight, and it took him a long time to calm down.

"What happened? Did you find the person who set the fire? Who is it?" Fu Chenze was a little impatient, and asked a step forward.

"That's right, old Fu, what's the matter, what are you talking about?"

Fu Jianting took a deep breath, raised his hand to rub his temples, and slowly raised his head.

Her thin lips trembled slightly, and it took a long time for her to utter three words, "It's Shuangchi."

Lu Ruan: "Shuangchi?!"

"How is it possible!" Fu Chenze was the first to express disbelief, "He's still lying on the hospital bed! How could it be him? When I found him that night, he had passed out. Could it be that he wanted to die with us?"

"That's right." Lu Ruan was equally unbelievable, holding the porridge in his hands blankly, muttering to himself, "Why? How is it possible? We have never treated him badly."

"Dad, did you make a mistake? I'll go to the police!" Fu Chenze said.

"Stop!" Fu Jianting stopped him, "Isn't that messy enough?"

"What the hell is that? I don't believe it's him."

Fu Jianting frowned, and slowly raised his head, "I don't know, the police just said that there is evidence, and the evidence points to Shuang Chi."

"Where did they get the evidence? It can't be that they can't handle the case and just find someone."

Fu Jianting shook his head, "They said they will come to the hospital soon, you go and have a look, did Shuang wake up late?"

Fu Chenze froze suddenly when he heard the words, and after a long time, he slowly raised his hand to hold the doorknob of the ward door.

The doorknob seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties, and it took him a long time to open it bit by bit.

Then he walked out with a heavy weight all over his body.

Yan Qiu ate the whole orange while watching their reactions.

The oranges were a bit sour, but overall tasty.

Come one in winter, clean and refreshing, as if it can sweep away the haze that has been suppressed for a long time.

Another phone rang, and Fu Jianting picked it up. He probably had something to do, and walked out while answering.

For a while, only he and Lu Ruan were left in the ward.

Lu Ruan was sitting on the hospital bed. The series of things that happened just now were a shock to her. She still couldn't recover for a while, she was numb.

"How could it be like this?" Lu Ruan never thought that the originally happy Chinese New Year would turn out like this.

"How did this happen..." Lu Ruan said, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Yan Qiu's arm, as if grabbing the last straw, "I never felt sorry for him? Why? How could it be Shuangchi? LittleQiu, could it be that they made a mistake?"

"Then who do you think it should be?" Yan Qiu said, pulling his arm out of her hand little by little.

Then he looked at her with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, showing a bit of coldness, "Do you think it should be me?"
