The housekeeper tried to save the situation: "Maybe... this is a trap set by Qiao Nian."
He hadn't finished his words.
Mu Qingtian received another new call.
"Mr. Mu, the hospital is on fire. The location of the fire has not been determined. The preliminary judgment is that it is below the ward where the young master lives. We are investigating and notifying the fire department."
"… "
Mu Qingtian pursed his lips, and like a cheetah whose territory had been intruded upon, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the respectful butler beside him, his tone cold.
"Is this the scheme that Qiao Nian set up that you mentioned?"
"this."
The housekeeper had no way of defending himself.
It is really possible that Qiao Nian did this... because arson was not included in his known plans.
But why did he say that they were the ones who did the fire in the first place, and the fire in the latter place had nothing to do with them
The housekeeper knew that even if he could say it, Mu Qingtian would never believe it! Who would believe that the first two times of "The Wolf is Coming" were the same person, and the third time "The Wolf is Coming" was a real werewolf.
"I just wanted to ask you, why did you take so long to go to the bathroom, and why are you targeting Qiao Nian again and again now?" Mu Qingtian no longer concealed his suspicion of him.
The housekeeper's heart sank, and he quickly hid his messy thoughts, lowered his head and explained obediently and respectfully as usual.
"I just think she has repeatedly caused trouble for the young master, so she is the most suspicious."
"Yeah?"
The butler lowered his head: "Yes."
Mu Qingtian's eagle-like sharp eyes scanned him for a long time, and he was not so easily fooled and whispered: "But you didn't like to talk too much before."
"… "
"You probably didn't realize that you talked too much today." The butler suddenly raised his head, met Mu Qingtian's shrewd eyes, and then lowered his head again, saying in a muffled voice: "When it comes to the young master, I... couldn't control myself."
"Really?" Mu Qingtian remained noncommittal. No one knew whether the butler believed him or not. The butler had followed him for decades and knew everything about him. Mu Qingtian's reaction showed that he didn't believe him, or at least he had begun to doubt him.
Sure enough, the next second, a voice as cold as ice and with a hint of sinisterness was heard.
"Mind your own business!"
"You should know that I hate betrayal the most!"
"The Ten Elders might give the betrayer a chance, but I won't."
"In my place, once I find someone who betrays me, no matter who it is, I will make him taste the pain of a thousand cuts."
"You saw it with your own eyes and you should know that I am not threatening anyone. I am just reminding you in a friendly way."
"Don't worry, Mr. Mu." The butler's back was stretched straight, his face was as pale as paper without a trace of blood. If you looked closely, you could see the hatred that flashed in his eyes when he heard Mu Qingtian mention "a thousand cuts and pieces". The hatred hidden in his heart was like the ghost fire from hell, which lasted for a long time.
When he blinked again, his expressionless, mechanical loyalty returned.
"I will never betray you!"

the other side.
The black car drove into the suburbs and drove to a safe area outside an inconspicuous processing plant, where it met up with Ji Lin, Gu San and others who had been waiting there.
"Miss Qiao."
"Miss Qiao."
Ji Lin and Gu San got out of the car to greet Qiao Nian. There were dozens of people standing behind them. They were all agile and had fierce eyes. They were obviously good at "doing things".
In fact, these people were indeed the people that Ye Wangchuan transferred from all over the place overnight. They were all elites he had buried in Continent M.
These people most often deal with Ji Lin and have occasionally seen Gu San.
