Chapter 17; Why would she do this?

Third Master Mu was surprised to see such a raging fire out of nowhere, then he recalled that Zhou Yuxi had gone missing from the guest bedroom for an entire hour. What was she doing for an entire hour downstairs?

He held her shoulders and dragged her into his arms! "What did you do? What happened?" He didn't want to believe she was the cause of all this, but with the connection of the dots, he could tell anything was possible!

Why would she do this? Only hatred could push someone to do the unthinkable. Was she planning to bury all of them together? Did she also hate him?

"Uncle... What are you trying to say?" She innocently bopped her head that was leaning on his chest to eye him looking so innocent and cute! She knew nothing of whatever had just happened.

"Ahhh! Nothing..." They moved further away and it was better to watch from a safe distance as things were exploding out.

"Father... Mother and sister are still inside! We have to rescue them as soon as possible!" The boys were frightened seeing that raging fire burn so wildly while the fire rescuers were on the way. They hadn't seen Mu Shuang and Zhou Xiajong coming out of the mansion up until now and they had thought they would run out.

"Zhou Yuxi, get a wet blanket and get in there to get your sister and mother out! You need to rescue them!" Zhou Zhenyu turned around and gazed in the other direction where Third Master Mu was standing, glaring at the girl inside the duvet cover.

Being in his arms, she shrugged, looking like she was sleeping or unconscious, and she didn't get to hear whatever they were saying.

"Why don't the three of you rush in there and bring them out as strong men? How do you expect such a young girl with a feeble body to manage it? Are you planning to sacrifice her in that raging fire?" Third Master Mu coldly scoffed off, getting his mobile phone and calling his men over to take them away from that place.

"Third Master Mu, that's your sister and niece! How can you say that? Do you want them to burn down into ashes?" Zhou Zhenyu was infuriated! His chest hived up and down heavily glaring at Third Master Mu! He wasn't that cold-hearted, right? He couldn't watch his adopted sister burn to death right?

"Daddy, what are you insinuating? Mommy is also your wife and my brother's mother, how can you guilty trip Uncle like that? You were the ones who came out first but you left them down there and rushed out! Don't blame Uncle Mu for your mistakes!" Zhou Yuxi hurriedly spoke up, she wasn't going to let her Uncle sacrifice his life for that woman! No way, she was getting her karma.

She venomously glared at her brothers and father, they would all pay dearly for the betrayal she went through in her previous life! They will soon know what it is to be helpless, what it is to feel pain!

"Zhou Yuxi... Don't you love Mommy the most? I know you care about her, don't say such kind of words! If you rescue her now, I'm very certain that momma would love you the most and be grateful!" Zhou Yucheng stood there gawking at Zhou Yuxi with those pitiful eyes that were pleading her to rescue their mother but they didn't want to do it by themselves. Did they think her life was so cheap to be lost in that fire?

"Brother, are you trying to sacrifice me in that fire? You can see that my body is too weak! How can I get two people out of that mansion with this kind of body successfully?" She retorted back gazing at her Uncle.
