Chapter 67 The Truth “Twelve years ago, one night, I overheard the conversation between the family head, Jiang Tianlong, and the second master, Jiang Tianhu. They said that they wanted to set the Light Orphanage on fire.” Jiang Ming said truthfully, “It just so happens that I know a human trafficker from other places, so I had a plan. Before they set fire to the orphanage, they adopted the eight little girls at once.” Hearing this, Chen Fan suddenly burst out with a terrible murderous aura, so that the temperature in the room suddenly dropped to the freezing point. Although he had already guessed that the fire was man-made and was prepared, when he learned the truth from Jiang Ming, his nose felt sour and he could not help but shed tears. That was a full 68 lives, and many of them were still underage children! Why did the people of the Jiang family kill such an innocent group of children? Animals, they were simply worse than animals! Thinking back to the young faces and the days they spent together, Chen Fan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and punched the wall behind Jiang Ming. “Bang!” The wall was directly smashed into a large hole the size of a bowl by Chen Fan’s fist. Around the hole, spiderweb-like cracks continuously extended outwards. At that moment, even the entire building shook. Jiang Ming was so scared that his liver cracked, and a yellow liquid flowed out from his crotch. “Tell me, why did the Jiang family set fire to the orphanage? There are 68 lives, why, why?” Chen Fan’s deep roar was like thunder, exploding in Jiang Ming’s ears, making his eardrums hurt and his soul scatter. “I, I don’t know. At that time, Second Master found someone eavesdropping. If I hadn’t pretended to be a cat, I would have been killed on the spot!” When Jiang Tianhu was mentioned, a hint of fear gradually appeared in Jiang Ming’s eyes. “Second Master is the hall master of the Fierce Tiger Hall. He has two great protectors of the Black and White Impermanence under his command. He kills people like flies and is bloodthirsty. No one in Yunhai’s path dares to provoke him

easily.” Chen Fan’s face was gloomy and terrifying. It seemed that this matter was far more complicated than he had imagined. “Big Brother, I really did not lie this time. I have told you everything I know. Please spare my dog life.” Jiang Ming knelt on the ground, his body trembling as he begged. He really wanted to ask why Chen Fan wanted to investigate the truth behind the fire in the orphanage, but he did not dare to ask. Chen Fan looked down at Jiang Ming, knowing that at this point, there was no need for him to hide anything else. “Are you curious why I want to investigate this matter?” Chen Fan said indifferently, “I might as well let you know that I am the only survivor in that fire.” Hearing this, Jiang Ming was shocked. But before he could react, the silver needle in Chen Fan’s hand had already been shot out… Returning to the living room outside, Chen Fan ordered Lang Da, “Find out everything about the Jiang family immediately. If necessary, you can use my name to find Yunhai, Martial Battalion’s minister, Hou Haoran.” “Subordinate obeys!” After Big Wolf and the others left, Chen Fan went to the bedroom. He looked at Su Jiaobai, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and the past kept emerging in his mind. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Back then, if not for this silly girl who disregarded her own safety and rushed into the fire and risked her life to carry him out, his life would have been buried in the sea of fire. At that time, he was still alive and saw with his own eyes that this silly girl turned back to save people, so that she was severely burned by the fire later. The fire happened at five o’clock in the morning. At that time, everyone was sleeping soundly. When the fire burned, the children had no time to escape. Some were even burned alive in their dreams. How cruel, ruthless, and cold blooded the people who set the fire were! If he had not been woken up by the urine and forcibly endured the pain of being

Chapter 67 The Truth burned by the fire to open the door of the dormitory, he would not have lived to wait for Su Jiaobai to rush in and save him. “The Jiang family!” “, Chen Fan, swear to the sixty-eight deceased souls that I must make the murderer and the culprit behind the fire pay with blood!” “I will not easily destroy the Jiang family. I will let you have a taste of being burned by the fire. You will be in so
much pain that you wish you were dead!” Around five o’clock in the afternoon, Su Jiaobai finally woke up. She opened her eyes and saw the familiar scenery around her. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. She got up and went to the living room on the first floor. A strong fragrance came from the kitchen. “Jiaobai, you’re awake!” Chen Fan poked out half of his head from the kitchen and said gently, “Wait a minute. Dinner will be ready soon.” Su Jiaobai came to the kitchen and hugged his waist from behind. She pressed her face against his back and listened to his strong heartbeat. She said softly, “Hubby, thank you!” Chen Fan turned around and joked, “What did you call me just now? Say it again. Didn’t I hear you?” “You, you are so bad. I am ignoring you!” Su Jiaobai hammered Chen Fan’s chest with a shy face. Chen Fan grinned and said, “My wife is so beautiful when she smiles.” “Who is your wife? Shameless!” Su Jiaobai’s pretty face was so red that water was about to drip out. The meal was quickly prepared. It was all what Su Jiaobai liked to eat normally. There was green pepper fried meat, sour and spicy shredded potato, sweet and sour pork ribs, and tomato egg soup. “Jiaobai, there is something I have always wanted to ask you.” Halfway through the meal, Chen Fan suddenly looked at Su Jiaobai with a serious expression and asked.
Su Jiaobai smiled and put down the chopsticks in her hand. She propped up her chin with both hands and said seriously, “For the sake of saving me this time, you can ask any questions. I will try my best to answer you.”
“Do you still remember the fire that happened in the orphanage twelve years ago?” “I read the news that the fire happened at five o’clock in the morning. I was just curious. How did you appear in the orphanage so early?” Su Jiaobai’s face suddenly darkened, as if she was unwilling to recall the past that made her sad.
After a moment of silence, she said, “I have the habit of running in the morning. Every day at 5:30, I will pass through the street in front of the Bright Orphanage.” “Do you remember the details when you rescued the survivor?” “I remember that the door of the dormitory where the children live is locked from the outside.” Speaking of this, she sighed and said, “Unfortunately, the only survivor I saved. Later, I
heard that he was seriously injured and died.” Chen Fan suddenly understood. No wonder he couldn’t open the door at that time. The outside was locked. “Why are you suddenly asking about this?” Su Jiaobai asked curiously. Chen Fan collected his thoughts and smiled faintly. “It’s nothing. I just read the newspaper and said that the land of the orphanage is going to be auctioned. That’s why I came up with this idea at the last minute. Let’s eat. We will go home after dinner.”
Su Jiaobai didn’t think too much about it and said, “I feel embarrassed staying at your friend’s house all the time. After dinner, let’s hurry home.”
