When Jiang Zhi woke up, she was in a dilapidated factory. The air was filled with the smell of gasoline. She struggled for a while, but found that her hands were tied tightly. Under the incandescent light, a burly man was standing there.

"You're finally awake..."

In such a situation, she had never expected to meet Jiang family's housekeeper Xia Fu.

In that fire, almost no one in the Jiang family survived, and the police found seven bodies at the scene.

Apart from his parents, there were the five servants of the Jiang family.

She thought Xia Fu had also died in the fire, but she didn't expect that he would come back to life and appear before her.

"Why do you look like that when Miss Jiang sees me?"

That short name, like a sharp blade, pierced Jiang Zhi's heart. Jiang Zhi couldn't suppress her instinctive reaction. She clenched her bound hands into fists, trying hard to suppress her emotions.

The moment she met the man's fierce gaze, Jiang Zhi's heart trembled. Girls change a lot when they grow up. She is no longer the same as she was before.

She didn't know what Xia Fu was going to do, but the look in his eyes at this moment was too terrifying. The gasoline on the ground was so close to her. Once it was ignited, she would have no choice but to die.

He wanted her to die.

"What do you want to do?"

The man was clapping the handmade knife back and forth in his hands. When he heard this, his eyes were fixed on her and he had not thought of this person at all.

But listening to Jiang Zhi's tone, there was a sense of familiarity in her voice. He had watched Jiang Zhi grow up, so how could he not recognize her voice.

In an instant, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he slowly approached her, "Miss."

Jiang Zhi's heartbeat instantly soared, and fine beads of cold sweat climbed up her back, "What do you want to do?"

The man looked at the woman's unfamiliar face. The person's appearance would change, but the timbre of the voice remained the same from beginning to end.

He suddenly let out a wicked smile, "I didn't expect you to be so lucky and still alive."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"I was originally wanting to catch up with the young lady, but since she doesn't know me, forget it. Let's get back to business." The man took out a lighter from his pocket, and with a click, the flame shot up.

"Originally, I didn't intend to kill you... but since you're Jiang Zhi, I can't let you stay. I'll send you to reunite with your father..."

"Were you the one who started the fire back then?"

The moment the man lit the gasoline, Jiang Zhi suddenly spoke.

The man paused and raised his eyes, "It is indeed the eldest lady."

"I asked you if you were the one who started the fire."

"It's okay to tell you when I'm about to die. I wanted to do it, but your Jiang family has offended someone, and there are many people who want you dead. I don't need to do anything, there are people who are eager to take your lives."

"The Jiang family has never treated you unfairly."

"Oh, you didn't treat me badly? Miss, you really are so easy to talk without any regrets! If it weren't for your father, I wouldn't have ended up like this... But, I could kill you, it would be the same! After all, you are his most beloved little princess..."

A strong smell of gasoline appeared in front of Jiang Zhi. She listened to the man's smug laugh and the blazing flames were just like that day.

Hot.

Suffocating again.

"Cough cough cough..."

The pungent smell of gasoline made it impossible for her to breathe. She had escaped death at the age of fifteen, but now... this was probably her fate.

This is the only ending.

The smoke and dust in her nasal cavity suffocated her.

She thought that they must have felt the same way that day.

"Jiang Zhi."

Out of the corner of my eye I saw the person appearing at the other end, as bright as a ray of light, but before I could see the person's appearance clearly, he fell heavily to the ground.

private hospital.

The floor-length gauze curtains were blown by the wind. In the ward, the doctor was giving Jiang Zhi a full-body examination.

When Qian Ze came out, he looked at the tall figure standing in front of the sofa and took a deep breath, "The man is dead."

In an instant, the man's face turned cold.

"Have you found out his identity?"

"He's Xia Qianqian's father. He's Miss Xia, the lover of Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu divorced his daughter a few days ago and had an abortion. He's in debt. He was supposed to be able to get some extra time by using his status as the Lu family's father-in-law, but who knew that Lu Yan, his long-term meal ticket, was lost? He harbored a grudge and wanted to kill Miss Jiang. He prepared the tools for the crime two days ago..."

"Xia Qianqian doesn't know?"

"I checked Miss Xia's communication records, and the two haven't been in touch recently. She moved out after getting together with the guy from the Lu family. I asked the neighbors, and they said they severed ties a long time ago. That Xia Fu is notoriously violent. Miss Xia has been beaten by him many times, nearly to death several times... However, Miss Xia's mother was recently sentenced for intentional homicide. This family is really..."

"don't want……"

Boom——!

There was a sound of a glass bottle falling to the ground from inside.

Shang Yanjing heard Jiang Zhi's voice, and immediately walked up to her. Because of the nightmare, she was trembling with anxiety.

"Mr. Shang!"

On the ground were dropped syringes and medicines, and broken glass was splattered all over the floor. Several doctors looked at the man who came in, and they were very nervous.

"what happened?"

"This lady is very reluctant to let us get close. We can't give her an IV drip, so we might need to find someone else..."

"I come."

Shang Yanjing sat next to Jiang Zhi.

He reached out and soothed the woman's cheek. He had never been able to get close to the woman whose body was covered with thorns, and now she was sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, the doctor immediately stepped forward. This time, Jiang Zhi was not as resistant as before, and the injection was inserted smoothly.

"Mr. Shang, please take care of this drop of liquid."

"Ah."

Several doctors were about to leave in a hurry when they suddenly looked at the burn marks on Shang Yanjing's arm and asked, "Your hand..."

"No problem."

In the quiet environment, Shang Yanjing's gaze fell on Jiang Zhi's face. She looked extremely disheveled, her hair was messy, and there were big wounds on her hands and neck.

These days, he deliberately resisted looking for her, thinking of letting her coax him.

As a result, she didn't even call him.

I just want to cut off all ties with him.

For five whole days, he came to the door on his own initiative. He thought that even if he was treated coldly, he would accept it.

However, he was at her doorstep, looking at her bag and cell phone that she had left behind.

He realized that something had happened to Jiang Zhi, and immediately asked Qian Ze to turn off the surveillance camera, only to find that Jiang Zhi had been taken out of the community in a suitcase.

He still remembers the raging fire that engulfed her whole body. He almost had a cardiac arrest when he saw that scene.

At this moment, he finally understood his own heart clearly, and he thought that he would never be able to let her go in this life.

Unless he dies.

Jiang Zhi woke up the next day. As soon as she opened her eyes, she looked at the familiar face in front of her and frowned.

"You saved me from the fire?"
