Chapter: 4119

Ye Chen furrowed his brow and asked, "Can you be more specific?"

"This...," Li Xiaofen looked around at the warehouse direction before whispering, "I'll tell you slowly another time."

Just as she finished speaking, Claudia had already walked out, looking serious and saying, "Guo Lei is involved in telecommunications fraud domestically. After being exposed, he fled to Canada and took refuge with my mom..."

Li Xiaofen's grandpa and my grandma are siblings, and our families have a close relationship. Li Xiaofen is also an only child at home, and his mom was worried he would get arrested, so she asked my mom to take him in. Later, my mom arranged for him to work with my dad as a driver...

Three months ago, Li Xiaofen and the group's second-in-command asked my dad to cooperate with American gangs. My dad didn't agree;

Two months ago, someone set fire to our house, and all five family members were left homeless except for me who managed to escape...

After that, the group's second-in-command took over my dad's position, and Li Xiaofen became his right-hand man...

Ye Chen asked her, "Do you have evidence to prove it was them who set the fire?"

"No."

Claudia's eyes turned red as she firmly said, "Although there is no direct evidence, I'm certain they did it."

Ye Chen again asked, "What does the police say?"

Claudia pursed her lips and whispered, "The Vancouver police say that the fire was caused by an accident. They claim that a rat bit through an underground cable, causing a short circuit, which then ignited the flammable materials stored in the basement... those flammable materials being 50-gallon gasoline drums. We had never stored gasoline in our basement before..."

Claudia choked back tears and continued, "Moreover, Li Xiaofen had made an appointment with my mom a week in advance, and he came to our house that night for dinner. On that day, he brought two bottles of red wine and some snacks for my siblings... I hadn't liked him much at the time, so I didn't stay home for dinner after that. And then, that night's fire occurred..."

Claudia wiped away her tears and continued, "When the fire started, I rushed to my parents' room first, only to find they had already stopped breathing. Then, I went to my two siblings' rooms as well, but they were also gone... without a pulse..."

Li Xiaofen's eyes widened in shock, and she blurted out: "So... so you're saying that your parents and two siblings didn't die from the fire? This is clearly a murder case! Did the police even investigate?"

Claudia shook her head and said: "The police announced that they died in an accident. After I escaped from the fire, I hid away for those few days, then burned my parents and two siblings with Guo Lei's permission as their next-of-kin, and this whole thing was covered up."

Li Xiaofen spoke unconsciously: "You should go to the police station and report that it's a murder case, tell them about these circumstances, and let them catch all of them!"

Yè Chén said in a faint tone: "Little Fen, Claudia is still alive because she didn't report these circumstances to the police."

"Yes...," Claudia whispered softly: "They think I just happened to escape from the fire, but they don't know that I actually discovered my parents and siblings had died at the time of the fire..."

"If they knew all this, they wouldn't have let me live either."

Li Xiaofen couldn't help asking: "So why did you come back if you had already escaped?"

Claudia sighed: "I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't come back. If I didn't come back, they would definitely suspect that I knew something, and they would hurry to get rid of me..."

"Conversely, by coming back, it will only make them feel like everything is okay, thinking that I must not have known anything."

"And my words, they also didn't question me. I told them that I disappeared for a while because my family passed away and my face was burned, which was too much of a blow, so I didn't want to see anyone, and I only decided to come back when I had slowly accepted this reality."

"Li Xiaofen asked again: 'What if they're not convinced and want to get rid of me?'" JrNovels.com
