Chapter 255: Intimate Contact

After her parents left, Xiao Lingyu was extremely anxious. She was pregnant. If she went out now, she would only cause trouble for others.

She paced back and forth in the living room a few times. Then, she thought of something and returned to her room to look at the surveillance video.

She rewound the video and noticed a figure passing through the bushes.

Xiao Lingyu narrowed her sharp eyes and immediately understood something. The figure moved along the pipe and through the bushes. That area was the camera’s blindspot.

However, it was unclear whether the figure knew it was the blindspot or it was just a matter of luck.

Regardless, the arsonist would need to escape after setting the fire. Chances were, he would use the same route as earlier.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyu quickly ran out.

She wanted to catch that person on the spot.

It was the middle of the night, and the sky was dark. Everyone took torches and extinguishers to put out the fire. Therefore, no one noticed Xiao Lingyu when she sneaked out of her house.

Xiao Lingyu did not walk down the main road. Instead, she went up the ridge by the other side of the field.

She held a small flashlight and walked very carefully. Catching the culprit was important but not more important than Xiao Tong. She still knew her priority.

After walking for a while, Xiao Lingyu looked from afar. That person had already passed back through the pipe and was heading back to the village.

Perhaps he noticed Xiao Lingyu’s flashlight, so he turned and ran back to the pipe.

Xiao Lingyu naturally wouldn’t let him go so easily.

She gave chase and turned off the flashlight. Because of the spring water, Xiao Lingyu realized her vision was good in the dark.

Xiao Lingyu followed the figure and slowly caught up to him.

Because he was being pursued, the figure didn’t dare to turn on the flashlight when he reached the river and pipe. However, he believed he would be able to escape based on his familiarity with the land.

Xiao Lingyu was still hot on his heels. The figure had to escape. He couldn’t cross the river and return to Tai Ping Field because there were villagers there trying to put out the fire he had started.

The figure looked around and noticed a small hole under the tree by the river. It was the perfect hiding spot.

However, as the figure moved towards the hole, someone grabbed her arm. She panicked and was afraid.

She could vaguely see her captor’s face through the weak light.

Then, she heard Xiao Lingyu’s surprised voice, “Auntie Zhang, it’s you!”

Auntie Zhang was panicked at first, but when she noticed Xiao Lingyu was alone, she calmed down. Instead, she started to puff up her chest.

She said with a little guilt, “Yes, it’s me. What’s wrong? Can’t I come to the river? Do you own this land too?”

“It’s you, isn’t it?” Xiao Lingyu said directly, “You set the fire, right?” She sounded very sure.

Auntie Zhang was panicking, but she couldn’t admit this. She tried to shake off Xiao Lingyu’s hand and said, “Fire? I didn’t set the fire.”

Xiao Lingyu asked angrily, “If you didn’t set the fire, who did?”

Auntie Zhang wanted to shake off her hand. She said with guilt and anger, “How would I know?”

“If it weren’t you, why did you come here so sneakily at night?” Xiao Lingyu asked sharply, “I saw you crawl along that pipe. The pipe leads directly to Tai Ping Field. Everyone is working hard to put out the fire, but you were busy wading across the river? Why?” At this point, Xiao Lingyu shouted angrily, “Zhang Xiaolan, why did you set my field on fire?”

Zhang Xiaolan was gripped tightly by Xiao Lingyu’s hand. She was already extremely nervous. Hearing the accusation, she became even more afraid. “I said I didn’t set the fire. Let go!”

As she said this, she tried to use her other hand to pry Xiao Lingyu away, but she realized that Xiao Lingyu was very strong. Even for Zhang Xiaolan, who worked the fields daily, she couldn’t move Xiao Lingyu.

Zhang Xiaolan knew that she couldn’t be held here any longer. She became anxious and used her other hand to push at Xiao Lingyu’s stomach.

When Xiao Lingyu saw this, her pupils contracted violently. She immediately let go of Zhang Xiaolan’s hand. Zhang Xiaolan used this opportunity to push Xiao Lingyu back.

Due to the force and narrow space, Xiao Lingyu staggered and lost her balance. There was a ditch right behind her.

The ditch was about a meter deep. If she fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Xiao Lingyu couldn’t stop the momentum of her falling body. She screamed in fear, “Ah!”

Zhang Xiaolan didn’t care about Xiao Lingyu. She took off running.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her in his arms. The person also staggered a few times before he regained his balance.

After Gong Tianhao held her firmly, he asked anxiously, “Yu ‘Er, how are you? Are you alright?”

Xiao Lingyu shivered, and then she lifted her head. She looked at Gong Tianhao, who rushed to save her. She didn’t even register the intimate way he had called her.

Gong Tianhao assumed Xiao Lingyu was scared witless. He waved his hands before her eyes and asked anxiously, “Yu ‘Er, say something. Don’t scare me.”

Only then did Xiao Lingyu realize that she was being hugged by Gong Tianhao. She was surrounded by his safe and warm embrace.

‘He has saved me again. This is already the second time. Is it fate?’

Her face turned slightly red. Then, she pretended to be calm and said coldly, “Mr. Gong, can you let go of me now? I can’t breathe.”

When Gong Tianhao heard that, he immediately let go of her. When he ensured she was really fine, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Yu ‘Er, stay here for a while. I’ll go and catch that culprit!”

He chased after Zhang Xiaolan.

Xiao Lingyu snapped back to it. She muttered, “Yu ‘Er? Did he just call me Yu ‘Er? Who gave him the permission to do that?”

Xiao Lingyu stood on the ridge and felt quite fearful. Her hands moved to protect her belly.

A moment later, Gong Tianhao came over with a person in his hand.

Her hands were tied up.

Gong Tianhao said, “Yu ‘Er, I’ve brought the person back.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Let’s go. We’ll bring her back to the village.”

Gong Tianhao was worried about Xiao Lingyu going back alone.

There were already many people fighting the fire, so he stayed to be Xiao Lingyu’s personal guard..
