Chapter 944: Arson
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The calm male voice echoed in the s.p.a.ce, but it was like a sudden clap of thunder. Su Wan shuddered.
Su Wan suddenly raised her head, unable to contain her shock!
“How did you know that I was infected with the CHK Virus No.3?!”
Su Wan was sitting, and Fiennes was standing. At this moment, Su Wan felt that she was completely shrouded in the shadow of this young man.
Her heart was also filled with gloom.
How much did Fiennes know about her?!
Also… Fiennes said that he knew the root cure of CHK Virus No.3. Was he bluffing her, or was it true…
Su Wan did not dare to think about it. She was afraid that the more she looked forward to it, the more disappointed she would be.
Sometimes, when you were really facing the threat of death, even if someone threw an olive branch at you, you would suspect whether it was true or not.
It was still the reflection of the moon in the water.
When Fiennes saw Su Wan’s bewildered look, he felt a little better. Previously, Su Wan’s evasive look made him feel uncomfortable.
Now, it seemed more real.
Fiennes pursed his thin lips slightly. His pair of azure blue eyes stared at Su Wan.
“Is it very strange that I know? Su Wan, don’t forget that the high priest once fell into my hands.”
Once…
Su Wan’s pupils constricted slightly, keenly catching this word.
In other words…
That terrifying woman, the high priest, was not in Fiennes’ hands now.
Could it be that Jiang Xuecheng had taken her away?
That was why Fiennes wanted to lure Jiang Xuecheng out in such a fl.u.s.tered and exasperated manner. It was probably because of the high priest!
As long as he found one person, it would cause greater change. No one would be able to escape!
Su Wan’s expression was slightly restrained. Fiennes’ gaze was too sharp. She did not dare to reveal too much of her emotions in front of Fiennes.
It would be more wrong to say too much.
Since the high priest was now in the hands of Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan wanted to escape this place even more.
…
Su Wan was really not used to looking up at others. She simply put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up straight.
She deliberately took a few steps back, two steps away from Fiennes.
“Since you know about the existence of CHK Virus No.3, you shouldn’t say that you want to marry me.”
Why would he marry a wife who could die at any time or become a cripple in the middle of the process?
She did not have any friends.h.i.+p with Fiennes.
Fiennes lowered his head and looked into Su Wan’s eyes.
His eyes were deep, as if they contained a pool of blue seawater. It was an indescribable feeling of deep affection.
“Why not? Su Wan, I’ve told you, I know the root cure of CHK Virus No.3. As long as you’re mine, I naturally won’t abandon you.”
What did he mean by… being Fiennes’…
Su Wan felt gooseb.u.mps all over her body when she heard that. If it were any other girl, she might have already fallen for Fiennes’ sweet words.
However, Su Wan couldn’t.
On one hand, it was because she had too deep a relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Xuecheng. On the other hand, Su Wan had already seen the true face of this man.
After all, this man was someone who could plan a murder without even batting an eye.
If it weren’t for her good luck with Jiang Xuecheng, she might have already died at the cliff.
…
Su Wan took a deep breath and tried her best to maintain her composure.
She met Fiennes’ gaze and her voice was sincere.
“Do you have a cure for CHK Virus No.3?”
Su Wan actually had doubts about this.
Back then, the high priest and Jiang Xuecheng insisted that there was no cure for the CHK Virus No.3. Later, even when he held a knife to the woman’s neck, she didn’t seem to let go.
“Of course there is. However, if you want a cure, you have to completely abandon those unnecessary thoughts.”
Fiennes stared at Su Wan quietly and said in a calm voice.
Fiennes did not say what these unnecessary thoughts were, but both of them knew it very well.
This was clearly a warning, a threat coated in sugar.
Fiennes’ gaze was indifferent, but it was as cold as a sharp knife.
Su Wan’s heart trembled violently. She even suspected that her plan to escape had long been seen through.
But Su Wan could not show the slightest bit of fear. She forced a smile and nodded quickly.
“If I can live, of course it’s better to live. I’m still very sensible.”
…
What made Su Wan feel the most fortunate was that after Fiennes threatened her in a disguised manner, he did not say anything more and did not continue eating. Instead, he directly left the room.
Su Wan suddenly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
She did not think that before. Ever since Jiang Xuecheng had taught her about Fiennes’ “glorious deeds,” Su Wan felt an indescribable fear when she saw Fiennes.
How extreme and insane was a person who was capable of making his subordinates eat his mother’s flesh?
Su Wan did not know Fiennes’ bottom line, but at least she did not have the courage to touch it for the time being before she escaped.
…
Just like that, Su Wan uneasily spent six to seven days in the Siswell family.
During this period, Diya came to look for her. Her behavior was provocative, but she was discussing the arson plan with her.
However, there was no sign of Jiang Xuecheng. There was not even a messenger!
Even if Jiang Xuecheng could not save her, she had to save herself. It was not Su Wan’s character to sit and wait for death.
After all, Fiennes said that the wedding would be held in half a month. Now, there was only a week left before that!
Su Wan was exhausted from waiting. However, she knew that she had to wait.
Finally, on Wednesday, Diya finally said that she had arranged the manpower.
The arson plan was prepared to be carried out at night.
According to Diya, Fiennes was going out for an appointment that day, so it was impossible for him to come back. Moreover, the guards were relatively less vigilant at night.
Su Wan randomly found an excuse and asked the maid, Xiao Yuan, to go to the kitchen to keep an eye on the temperature of the medicinal cuisine.
She estimated that the little girl would not be able to come back within half an hour.
Then, she began to anxiously wait for the people Diya had sent.
…
As time pa.s.sed, Su Wan could not sit still.
It was almost seven o’clock in the evening. Su Wan paced around under the window several times, but she could not see anyone.
Just as Su Wan was burning with anxiety, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. It was indeed Diya’s people!
It was a middle-aged woman. It was a unfamiliar face that Su Wan had never seen before. She looked very capable and honest.
Su Wan wore the maid uniform that the other party had found for her and smeared her face a few more times. After that, the middle-aged woman immediately started the fire.
Fortunately, this place was remote. Su Wan felt that it would not burn anyone for the time being. When others noticed the fire in this house, it would definitely be extinguished in time.
Su Wan turned around and looked at the small courtyard in the bamboo forest. She gritted her teeth and finally walked out.
Su Wan suppressed the faint guilt in her heart and immediately followed the middle-aged woman to the back door of the plan.
However, just as Su Wan walked to the back door, she heard a gentle male voice.
“It’s so late, where do you want to go?”
