Chapter 41: Set Her on Fire
Chapter 41
Rong Dai had just flipped through a few pages. Although she now understood what had happened, her heart was still trembling and her whole body was still sweating profusely.
No wonder the original owner had that kind of personality. She had been completely controlled by this mad woman, like a puppet on a string, at the mad woman's beck and call!
Rong Dai didn't know what the original owner's intentions were when she married Huo Shao Ting, but she guessed that the original owner had also wanted to escape from this predicament.
Although she would have food and clothing, her spirit and body were being coerced. Although Zuo Ran, this mad woman, hadn't laid a hand on her yet, this was undoubtedly shackling the original owner in every way!
Rong Dai's heart shuddered again and again. This was simply insane!
Fortunately, Zuo Ran's twisted mentality wanted to nurture a slavish nature in the original owner, so she hadn't made a move yet.
This was also somewhat reassuring to her. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to accept that this body had been ravaged by a mad woman like this.
Her phone suddenly received a message. She opened it and saw it was from Huo Shao Ting. He was already on his way here.
Rong Dai quickly replied, telling him to bring a few police officers he could trust.
Even if it was humiliating today, or even if Huo Shao Ting would divorce her on the spot, she had to resolve this matter cleanly today!
Otherwise, dragging it out would undoubtedly lead to endless trouble.
She believed that even if Huo Shao Ting was furious about this, he would still help her handle it well for the sake of keeping face.
Although she was being a little calculating, with her current abilities, she was truly powerless in this matter.
Fortunately, this had been discovered early. Otherwise, if she found out about it after divorcing Huo Shao Ting in the future, she would be in big trouble!
When Huo Shao Ting saw her reply, the sinister look in his eyes didn't disappear. Instead, it became even more concentrated.
What on earth had happened to this woman?
Ten minutes had passed since he received her call. Of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to go alone. He had brought half of the security personnel from the company with him.
But this woman had even said she wanted the police.
Rong Dai didn't receive a reply from him for a long time, and there was no movement outside the door either. This made her even more worried instead.
No news wasn't necessarily good news.
She thought about it and quickly wrote back: "Evidence is needed. I'll explain it to you slowly afterwards. Please believe me."
By this point, she could only try her best to win Huo Shao Ting's trust.
In the Huo family, she couldn't rely on her mother-in-law. Her grandmother-in-law wasn't home either. Her uncle-in-law and aunt-in-law were even more unreliable.
So the only person she could rely on was Huo Shao Ting, her nominal husband.
Sitting in the car, Huo Shao Ting saw her message. His brows were twisted into knots. After hesitating for a few seconds, he made a phone call. Then he sent back a simple "OK" to her.
Seeing such a terse reply, Rong Dai let out a deep breath of relief in her heart.
Just as she had just put her phone in her bag, she caught a whiff of smoke. She quickly turned back and saw wisps of blue smoke drifting in through the cracks in the door.
This woman was insane!
Was she trying to burn her to death?!
"Zuo Ran! You lunatic, killing me won't get you anything!"
Rong Dai couldn't help but yell angrily. She quickly thought of a way out. If this continued burning, she would be choked to death by the smoke before the door even opened!
"So what? If you die, I can just go down and accompany you mother and daughter!" Zuo Ran's insane and creepy words came from outside the door.
Rong Dai couldn't help but want to curse, no matter how good her upbringing was.
"I said, neither you nor your mother can betray me. You're mine! You can only ever be mine!"
Zuo Ran cackled maniacally in the living room. Her laughter was especially creepy.
"Sis, if the neighbors find out about this, they'll call the police and you'll be finished!"
Just as Rong Dai was wondering how to deal with this, she seemed to hear several people come in outside. A man spoke, then she heard the sound of people putting out the fire with water.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief at this point, but before she could fully relax, her heart started pounding again!
Because it was men who had come this time, and there were several of them!
How could this door stop them?!
Rong Dai really hadn't expected that her rebirth would be so bumpy. Not only was her marriage not going smoothly, she had also encountered such a horrifying lunatic!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The banging on the door this time sounded very different from when Zuo Ran had banged on it. The force was clearly much greater, as if they were using hammers or axes.
The banging was loud. To cover it up, music started playing in the living room.
Rong Dai's face turned pale with fear. Even in her previous life, she had never felt such despair and horror!
This was on the tenth-something floor. She couldn't exactly jump down.
She looked around the room and hurried to the balcony for safety, closing the floor-to-ceiling glass door behind her.
This was a high-end residential area. Looking down, the height made her legs go soft as her heart chilled again and again.
Would her bumpy rebirth only be as ephemeral as a flash in the pan?
A feeling of despair came over Rong Dai. Her face was so pale it was nearly transparent. Despite the blazing sun, she couldn't feel a hint of warmth in this hot weather. Instead, her whole body grew colder and colder.
Downstairs, Huo Shao Ting had arrived with his men. More than ten people swiftly went upstairs. Rong Dai could see it clearly from the balcony. Tears nearly spilled from her eyes.
She quickly squatted in a corner and took out her phone, quickly snapping a few photos and sending them over with a rough description of the situation in the room.
In her extreme panic, Rong Dai didn't realize she had also sent the photos she took earlier as evidence in the room.
When Huo Shao Ting saw these photos, a cold glint flashed through his eyes. Sensing this chill behind him, Zhang the assistant felt a chill run down his spine!
"Go find the property manager to come rescue her from the balcony."
Although many doubts swirled in his heart, Huo Shao Ting gave orders very calmly.
That door wouldn't hold for long. Although his men could subdue the people inside, getting them to open the door would take time, and subduing them would also take time.
Dragging things out like this, if they broke down the door and grabbed her, they would only be passive.
Zhang didn't dare hesitate and immediately strode off to handle it.
"Shao Ting, what exactly is going on here?" Lu Hong asked him. He had just gotten back from responding to a call this afternoon and hadn't even had time to take a sip of water before Huo Shao Ting called him. He had rushed over with a few men but still didn't understand what was happening.
