"Cang Xingyue, why did you hurt me? What did I do to offend you?"

She roared in anguish and fury:

"So much so that you dared to set fire to my house and burn me to death!"

The group's gazes instantly turned to Cang Xingyue.

She frowned slightly upon hearing Yu Lian's question.

"I didn't set the fire at all. We have no grudge against each other. Why would I want to harm you?"

Yu Lian pointed to the clothes she was holding.

"You just came into my house wearing these clothes, came to my bedside, shoved a pillow over my head, then knocked me unconscious and set me on fire!"

Upon hearing Yu Lian's question, she remembered that she was still holding the clothes in her hand.

Because he was in a hurry to get to Yu Lian's house, and was also worried about her injuries.

For a moment, she forgot that she was still holding the clothes in her hand.

The garment felt like a hot potato, burning in her palm and drawing suspicious glances from several people.

Yu Lian continued to accuse her.

"I even tore the ring off your hand, what are you still trying to deny?!"

"And you're the only one in the entire base with fire abilities! Who else could it be?!"

Hearing her words, he was instantly amused and annoyed.

"So you're just accusing me based on this?"

Pick up the clothes in your hand.

"This is definitely my clothes, but it suddenly disappeared. A man in black lured me away, and I found it in a corner."

"As for the ring, I don't know when I lost it or how it ended up with you."

"Besides, does my fire-based ability mean I started the fire? Does that mean no one can start a fire?"

"Haha, what a coincidence, losing both clothes and a ring in one day."

Yu Lian's words were full of sarcasm.

Yu Sheng said weakly, "Sister, is there some misunderstanding? That big liar couldn't possibly..."

She still chose to believe in Souseizuki.

Because of my interactions with her, I can genuinely feel what kind of person she is.

Yu Lian was shocked and glared at Yu Sheng: "Impossible? Sheng'er, are you taking her side? She's the one who harmed your sister!"

He roared, "Didn't you see how terrified you were of that woman you saw today? Didn't you see the whip scars on her body?!"

"Who knows what her true nature is! And you still dare to defend her!"

Being so arbitrarily convicted and falsely accused, Cang Xingyue was furious.

“Yu Lian, I understand that you are emotionally unstable due to your injury.”

"But I will never admit to your slanderous accusations."

"If I wanted to kill you, you would have died countless times already!"

"I would never give you the chance to loudly question me like this!"

After saying that, he threw the clothes in his hand on the ground, and a ball of fire went over, turning the clothes to ashes in less than a second.

He turned and left the ward.

"You all saw that! How powerful my sister's fire ability is! If it were really my sister, Yu Lian, you would have been reduced to ashes long ago!"

After Qu Xingran finished speaking, she stormed out of the ward.

Staring blankly at the ashes on the ground, Yu Lian suddenly felt a little uncertain.

"Sister, did you really see stars and the moon?"

Yu Lian hesitated and said, "I...I'm not sure either."

"At the time... I was sleeping, and I vaguely felt someone standing in front of my bed. When I opened my eyes, I could only see the clothes. Before I could see the face clearly, a pillow was put over my head."

"During the struggle, I grabbed the ring off her hand, and then I was knocked unconscious."

"When I woke up, the house was engulfed in flames, the door was locked from the inside, and the windows were jammed, so I couldn't get out."

"Don't think about it anymore, A-Lian. Whether it's Xingyue or not, the murderer will be found and punished."

"Ah Lian, you're injured, you should rest first."

Yu Lian raised her hand in distress, placing it on her head as if to grab her hair.

But when I touched his head, which was wrapped in bandages, I saw that his arms were also wrapped in bandages, and then I saw that his whole body was wrapped in bandages.

She was suddenly startled, and panic rose in her heart.

Will my injury ever heal?

"Of course it will be alright, Ah Lian, don't overthink it."

She excitedly grabbed his hand: "What did the doctor say? Will it leave a scar? Will I become ugly?!"

Unable to bear telling her the truth, she gently comforted her, "No, Ah Lian will always be beautiful and will never become ugly."

As she left the infirmary, Cang Xingyue kept reviewing the events of the day in her mind.

The ring was definitely there this morning, but after dealing with the zombie horde and returning to treat my wounds, I found it was gone.

The ring must have gone missing during this period of time.

Suddenly, the image of Qiao Yu grabbing her hands flashed through her mind.

It must be her!

It must have been Qiao Yushuang who stole her ring.

The ring first ended up in Qiao Yu's hands, and then in Yu Lian's hands.

By connecting this to the sudden appearance of the man in black, she could be fairly certain.

All of this was done by Qiao Yushuang.

However, how did Qiao Yushuang get into her room, steal her clothes, and then enter Yu Lian's home to commit the crime against her?

Each person has a unique key to the base, and the doors and windows are specially made so that they cannot be opened without a key.

Meanwhile, Qiao Yushuang took off her black cloak and threw it into the fireplace, whereupon the fire instantly set the cloak ablaze.

He took a bunch of keys out of his pocket, walked to the bathroom, picked up a men's shirt from the floor, put it back in his pocket, and casually tossed the shirt onto the sink.

She was all smiles, humming a song.

She turned on the tap to rinse her hands, and there was a red scratch on her right index finger.

"Cang Xingyue, let's see how you clear your name now."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

She laughed wildly with excitement.

"Your friend is about to become your enemy! Hahahaha..."

She suddenly turned grim, staring at her reflection in the mirror with a fierce look in her eyes.

"This is just the beginning; making you lose your friends is far from enough!"

"I will make you deserted by everyone and hated and condemned by all!"

"I'll make you live like a mouse, constantly hiding and unable to eat or sleep!"

"Knock knock!" A knock came at the door.

He glared coldly at the closed door.

"Qiao Yushuang, are you there? I've come to get my coat."

The sound of a hawk could be heard outside the door.

He had lent Qiaoyu his coat when he saw that she was dressed in disheveled clothes.

She dropped the sinister expression on her face and instead adopted a pitiful look.

I wet my finger and dripped it under my eye.

The water droplet slid down instantly, leaving a water streak on my face that looked like a tear had flowed down.

She opened the door and pretended to wipe away her 'tears'.

He handed over his coat, saying, "Thank you for lending me your coat, so I didn't lose my last shred of dignity."

He reached out and took it, then rummaged through his pockets to make sure he found the keys.

He looked into her eyes: "Have you been crying?"

Qiao Yu turned her head to the side, avoiding his gaze.

"No, no, I'm just a little sad."

She looked at him with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, "Brother Tu Ying, do you think I'm really that annoying?"

"Why, why did they do this to me... Waaaaah..."

Tu Ying: "..." She looks older than me, why is she calling me brother?
