Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

541 Competing in Wealth

Wang Ning was smart. No matter how Huo Xiaoran interrogated him, he refused to admit that he had set fire to the wooden house.

Huo Xiaoran was furious. “Wang Ning, you said that you didn’t set the fire, so why did you come to this wooden house? Give me a reason?”

Wang Ning was silent.

“The footprints are so deep. You were clearly carrying a gasoline can?”

!!

Wang Ning remained silent.

He thought that as long as he refused to confess, his parents would be able to find connections and turn this issue into a small matter.

“Xing Chen, you have no right to interrogate me. If you have the ability, call the police.” Wang Ning had been beaten up very badly by Huo Xiaoran. He had slapped him and kicked him in the leg. In the eyes of others, it was fine to suffer these few blows. Little did he know that Huo Xiaoran was filled with extreme hatred. With all his strength, his bones were almost shattered, and he was in so much pain that he wanted to die.

At this moment, Wang Ning couldn’t wait for Xing Chen to call the police.

He would rather be interrogated by the police than by Xing Chen.

Huo Xiaoran said sinisterly, “Don’t worry, Wang Ning. I’ll definitely transfer you to the police station, but not now. You have to tell me where you hid my An’an.”

Wang Ning was in so much pain that he wanted to die. He kept asking his parents for help. “Dad, Mom, save me. If he continues to be crazy, I’ll die. Hurry up and call Uncle Murong over to reason.”

Wang Ning’s mother quickly ran to get the village book.

Wang Ning’s father dealt with Huo Xiaoran. “Xing Chen, if you dare to hit my son again, I’ll definitely lock you up and let you go to jail.”

Huo Xiaoran glared at Wang Ning’s father. “Your family has done all kinds of bad things. Human trafficking, abuse of your daughter-in-law, murder, and arson. Just wait. I’ll see who goes to jail.”

Wang Ning’s father was stunned. Panic flashed across his eyes, but he forced himself to say, “Who said that we committed those acts?”

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t be bothered with him. Instead, he focused his gaze on Wang Ning and began to capture the second arsonist.

“Wang Ning, I know that you had an accomplice when you set the fire. Tell me, whose other footprint is it?”

Xing Xiaoya’s hands trembled violently.

“I don’t know,” Wang Ning said.

He did not really want to protect Xing Xiaoya. He was just afraid that a woman like Xing Xiaoya would not be able to withstand his punishment and confess. When that happened, she would implicate him.

“Do you think I won’t know who she is if you don’t say it?” Xing Chen pinched his chin. Wang Ning was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face.

Huo Xiaoran shook Wang Ning off in disgust and walked towards the crowd. He walked straight towards Xing Xiaoya.

Xing Xiaoya trembled in fear.

Huo Xiaoran walked up to Xing Xiaoya and ordered with a sinister expression, “I don’t want to touch you. I find you dirty. Come out and kneel.”

Xing Xiaoya shook her head desperately. “Brother Xing Chen, I didn’t. I really didn’t…”

The villager exclaimed, “So Xing Xiaoya killed Qiao An. This girl is so vicious. Who will dare to marry her in the future?”

Xing Xiaoya’s face turned as pale as snow as she listened to the sarcasm around her.

Huo Xiaoran roared, “Come out.”

Xing Xiaoya still did not move.

At this moment, Wang Ning’s father quickly went forward to help Wang Ning when Huo Xiaoran was not paying attention. However, after Wang Ning stood up, he fell to the ground.

Huo Xiaoran sneered. “He can’t stand up anymore. His knee meniscus is shattered. He can only kneel and repent for my An’an for the rest of his life.”

This was an extremely huge blow to Wang Ning and his father.

Xing Xiaoya was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. She cried and begged Huo Xiaoran, “Brother Xing Chen, don’t treat me like that. I’m afraid…”

Huo Xiaoran’s expression was ferocious. “Then when you and Wang Ning started the fire, did you think that my An’an would be afraid?”

Just thinking about how An’an had been trapped in the flames and how she must have been helpless, his heart ached.s

Other than heartache, there was boundless anger at the arsonist.

Huo Xiaoran gritted his teeth and said, “Xing Xiaoya, tell me, where’s Qiao An?”

Xing Xiaoya looked stunned.

“Wasn’t Qiao An already burn to death?”

She was terrified. Could it be that Xing Chen was so sad that he went crazy?

Huo Xiaoran looked at Xing Xiaoya’s expression in confusion.

It seemed that Xing Xiaoya didn’t know where Qiao An was at all?

Where exactly was An’an?

Soon, the village head arrived.

The village head started to criticize Huo Xiaoran from afar. “Xing Chen, who allowed you to behave atrociously here? Hurry up and let Wang Ning go? Otherwise, I’ll get someone to send you to the police station.”

The village head was just a small official, but in this stupid place, people didn’t know how to use the law to protect themselves, so they listened to the village head.

In addition, the village book and the few good families were in cahoots and huddled together for warmth. The remaining small families were used to being bullied by them and were very afraid of them.

The villagers began to worry about what would happen to Xing Chen.

When Wang Ning’s father saw that his backer had arrived, he immediately begged Village Book for mercy. “Aiya, Village Head, you’re finally here. Quickly get someone to send this Xing Chen to the police station. He injured my son for no reason. My son can’t even stand up. I’m afraid he’s going to be crippled.”

When the village head heard this, he scolded fiercely, “Xing Chen, you’re so ruthless.”

The village book pointed at a few young and strong men. “Come on, take him to the police station.”

Huo Xiaoran frowned and said angrily, “Hmph, don’t worry. I’ll go to the police station.” His hawk-like gaze landed on Wang Ning. “A life for a life. I definitely won’t let my An’an die in vain.”

His gaze was not as calm as usual. It was wrapped in a terrifying ferocity and a faith that he was determined to pursue, making Wang Ning feel afraid.

“Xing Chen, I didn’t kill Qiao An. Why don’t you believe me?” He was struggling for the last time.

...

Huo Xiaoran gritted his teeth and said, “The evidence is here. You and Xing Xiaoya came to the wooden house before the fire. Don’t even think about arguing.”

The village head’s lips curled into an evil sneer.

Xing Chen was still too young. Did he think the villagers would listen to him?

The village head looked around and looked at everyone threateningly. “Xing Chen said that you all saw evidence of Wang Ning going to the wooden house? Is that right?”

No one in the village dared to answer.

The village head warned Huo Xiaoran proudly, “Xing Chen, you have to have evidence to report a case. You don’t have any witnesses. Do you think you can win the lawsuit with your mouth? I advise you to save your breath.”

Huo Xiaoran was very disdainful of his tricks. He walked up to the village head and raised his head to warn him proudly, “Do you think every villager has the same conscience as you?”

The village book did not hide his smugness. “You have to have this whether it’s a witness or a lawsuit. Do you have it?”

He twisted his thumb and index finger, implying that money was needed everywhere to fight a lawsuit. And he firmly believed that Xing Chen could not compare to him in terms of wealth.

Huo Xiaoran sneered. “Do you want to compete with me in wealth?”
