1371 The Unknown Arson Case
Hearing Xue Liang’s words, Huo Yuzhou could not help but fall into deep thought.
Xue Liang raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with ridicule. “Why? Don’t you believe me, Mr. Huo?”
Huo Yuzhou’s cold gaze landed on Guan Hui. Who did she think she was? Did he set the fire for her? What did this woman say in front of Xi Xi to make Xi Xi so hostile to him?
Actually, he also understood what Xue Liang meant. They could forgive him for setting the fire, but they had to hold Guan Hui responsible. However, he could not hand Guan Hui over just like that. She was still valuable to him.
“What exactly do you want, Mr. Xue?” Huo Yuzhou’s tone turned cold, and his expression darkened.
In the deadlock, Xue Liang took a tablet from his assistant, logged into an email account, and handed it to Huo Yuzhou. He smiled meaningfully. “Mr. Huo, you’ve been sending emails to this account for so many years. You should be very familiar with it, right?”
Huo Yuzhou gasped as his burning gaze landed on the screen.
“Mr. Huo, you previously sent an email once a month, then once every six months. After that, you stopped sending any more emails. This is Little Six’s private account. Only a few close people know about it, but take a closer look. There’s another person’s email address here.”
Huo Yuzhou did not even need to look to understand what Xue Liang meant. Anger surged in his heart.
Guan Hui!
Sensing Huo Yuzhou’s sharp gaze, Guan Hui’s face turned pale as she lowered her head guiltily.
Xue Liang said sarcastically, “Mr. Xue, we don’t care how Guan Hui found out about this email address. Even if you gave it to her, it has nothing to do with us anymore. But the main point is that Miss Guan Hui said in her email…”
Then, Xue Liang clicked on the last email. The contents appeared in front of Huo Yuzhou.
[Back then, Yuzhou went to that village and went through a difficult time with you. He took care of you in every way. You saved him by chance and he invited you to the Huo family. Actually, all of that was for me.
[You’re a wild girl who was abandoned by the Qiao family. How could an outstanding and arrogant man like Yuzhou like you? Moreover, Yuzhou burned the library back then because of me.
[Xi Xi, you’ve always trusted Yuzhou very much. Even when you were wronged, you didn’t dare to tell the divine physician. You even personally introduced Yuzhou to the divine physician. You probably didn’t expect such an outcome, right?!]
Xue Liang’s expression turned colder and colder. At the thought of Guan Hui bullying his sister like this, he wished he could shoot Guan Hui. He read these words in front of everyone and sneered. “Mr. Huo, look at what your Miss Guan said!
“We all know that you approached Xi Xi with ill intentions and used her to satisfy your selfish desires, but I want to know if you set that fire because of Guan Hui back then.
“Back then, Grandpa forgave you on account of our past relationship, but he didn’t say that he would forgive Guan Hui. If this is true, then…”
Guan Hui broke out in a cold sweat. Her lips were pale and trembling slightly. “You! What are you doing?”
At this moment, the surrounding people finally understood what was going on. Mr. Huo had used Mrs. Gu and set fire to Mrs. Gu’s grandfather’s library. No wonder Mrs. Gu was unwilling to pay attention to Mr. Huo and Miss Guan. No one in her shoes would forgive him easily.
Thinking about Miss Guan’s words carefully, she deliberately made everyone think that they were in a love triangle just to hide that unknown arson case back then.
Xue Liang smiled coldly. “The loss of the library was huge. We can let Mr. Huo off, but we must hold Miss Guan responsible.
“Please come to the police station with us, Miss Guan. Let’s settle this score carefully. Are you going to compensate us or go to jail?”
“No! No…” Guan Hui was so scared that her face turned pale. She could not afford the loss of the library, and she did not want to go to jail.
Xue Liang took a few steps forward, his eyes cold. “Miss Guan, don’t be in a rush to retort. You sent that email yourself.”
“I…” Sweat broke out on Guan Hui’s forehead as her entire body trembled.
At that time, she had sent that email to Qiao Xi because she wanted to show off in front of Qiao Xi that Huo Yuzhou doted on her and would do anything for her. She wanted Qiao Xi to know that she was not Qiao Xi’s shadow. She was the woman Huo Yuzhou cared about.
If she did not admit it now, she would definitely be mocked by everyone and looked down on by Qiao Xi. If she admitted it, she would have to face jail time.
Guan Hui looked at the man beside her for help. “Y-Yuzhou…”
