Chapter 177 I didn't do it
Moreover, after Zuixianlou locked the door, the village chief specially invited Su Xiaoxi to his home to see Cheng Mingzhu.
From this point of view, it seemed that the village chief was deliberately trying to push her away.
"The village chief will definitely feel uncomfortable when he learns that Zuixian Tower is yours." Cheng Shubai said, "So it is normal to deliberately retaliate."
Su Xiaoxi nodded in agreement, "And his daughter was also injured because of me. It is inevitable that he will hold a grudge."
"I'll find out if it's him or not tomorrow!" Su Xiaoxi tucked Cheng Shubai in, "Mr. sir, go to bed quickly and don't think about it."
"Then you should go to bed early." With that said, Cheng Shubai moved his body in the bed to make room for Su Xiaoxi.
Su Xiaoxi waved her hand and said, "Mr., you'd better sleep by yourself. I'll just lie down on the table and sleep."
Su Xiaoxi felt that she was sleeping too irregularly and moving around. What if she pressed Cheng Shubai or touched his wound?
She had been busy all night, but Cheng Shubai couldn't bear to let her sleep on the table, and said to her with kindness and power: "Come here!"
Su Xiaoxi saw the seriousness in his brows and immediately got on the bed obediently.
She lay beside Cheng Shubai, her body stiff, for fear of bumping into Cheng Shubai. Who knew that Cheng Shubai could see the difficulty she endured, so he turned sideways, stretched out his long arms, and wrapped her in his arms.
"If I circle you like this, you don't have to be afraid of moving around. Okay, go to sleep now."
Cheng Shubai's gentle voice seemed to have a kind of magic power, and Su Xiaoxi's tense body slowly relaxed.
Perhaps Cheng Shubai's embrace made people feel safe, so Su Xiaoxi closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.
Watching her sleep, Cheng Shubai chuckled and fell asleep quickly.
……
Early the next morning, after Su Xiaoxi washed up, she hurried to the next door.
As soon as the village chief and others woke up, they heard a knock on the door.
Mrs. Xu went to open the door and found that the person who came was Su Xiaoxi. She was surprised.
"Xiao Xi, why are you here? Is there something you forgot to explain yesterday?" Mrs. Xu asked Su Xiaoxi with a polite smile on her face.
Su Xiaoxi asked Xu, "I'm here to see the village chief. Is the village chief at home?"
"It's inside the house." Mrs. Xu pointed in the direction of the room where the village chief was.
Su Xiaoxi walked over vigorously. The village chief also heard the movement at the door and opened the door to take a look.
As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Su Xiaoxi.
Seeing Su Xiaoxi's menacing look, he was scared away from his drowsiness. He became more energetic. He opened his eyes wide and asked: "Xiao Xi, you... why are you here."
Su Xiaoxi looked at the village chief with bright eyes and said, "I'm here to find you!"
"Looking for me? Why are you looking for me?" The village chief looked puzzled. Looking at her like this, there was still a little guilt between his eyebrows.
"I ask you, did you set the fire in Zuixian Tower?" Su Xiaoxi asked sharply.
When the village chief heard this, some of the Erzhang monks scratched their heads and asked in surprise: "Is Zuixian Tower on fire?"
"This...how is this possible?" He couldn't believe that such a big thing happened last night.
Su Xiaoxi looked suspicious: "Didn't you hear the big noise last night?"
The village chief looked aggrieved, "I...I really don't know!"
"After you treated Mingzhu last night, we husband and wife took turns guarding Mingzhu. We didn't go back to our room to sleep until late at night. And because we were too tired, we fell asleep as soon as we went to bed and slept until dawn. I didn’t hear anything.”
Mrs. Xu then said: "I, I can testify! We did sleep until dawn."
"You are a couple, so naturally we talk about the same thing." After saying that, Su Xiaoxi continued to look at the village chief: "You were so angry during the day, and Cheng Mingzhu was also injured because of me. I don't believe you can swallow this breath!"
"Oh, you really misunderstood me. I admit that after I knew that Zuixian Tower was yours, I was indeed very angry. My daughter was injured, and I also hated you. But since you saved my daughter last night, I'm not so angry anymore.
Moreover, Mingzhu is not completely healed yet and will need your treatment later. How could I risk my own daughter’s life? "
What the village chief said was not unreasonable.
Cheng Mingzhu's illness is expected to be completely cured, but they will have to look for her later.
If they really set the fire, Cheng Mingzhu really shouldn't think about it.
I'm sorry they don't dare to gamble like this.
But if it’s not the village chief, then who is it?
When the village chief saw that Su Xiaoxi was silent, he thought she didn't believe it, so he added: "Ever since Zuixianlou made some simple meals, it has taken away the business of many small shops on this street. They were originally doing small business. Live on with a little money.
As a result, the last bit of money is now gone, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people. "
The village chief watched Su Xiaoxi's face as he spoke, for fear of saying the wrong thing and making her unhappy.
But Su Xiaoxi knew that what the village chief said was true.
