Cen Man was nearby, and hurried to Huo's old house after hearing the news.

She saw thick smoke billowing in the whole Huo house, and the servants of the Huo family rushed to fight the fire. They said Mrs. Huo was still trapped in the living room, and the way into the living room was blocked by raging flames, no one dared to go in.

At the beginning, because Mr. Huo loved to be clean, he built the Huo family's old house in the suburbs far away from the urban area, so the fire trucks couldn't reach it for a while.

But if Mrs. Huo was not rescued, she might be suffocated to death by the thick smoke even if she survived the fire, and if Mrs. Huo had any accidents, Huo Li would definitely...

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger again, Cen Man didn't have time to think about it anymore, she took a quilt and got wet, covered her mouth and nose and rushed in.

In the living room, not only were flames everywhere, but the temperature felt extremely high, there was also thick smoke billowing so that Cen Man could not see clearly. She called Mrs. Huo's name, but no one answered.

Finally, Cen Man saw Mrs. Huo lying on the sofa. She nervously put her hand under her nose to test it out. Fortunately, Mrs. Huo was still breathing.

Cen Man breathed a sigh of relief, helped Mrs. Huo and tried to carry her on her back. When she was about to leave, Cen Man's face felt hot, and the quilt she was covering her body had been dried and slightly hot. Occupied, there is no way out.

When she was at her wit's end, she seemed to hear the voice of someone calling her. When the voice grew louder, Cen Man knew that someone was coming to save her. She picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it on the sofa to make a sound. to attract rescue attention.

The few seconds in the fire were as long and difficult as hours. When Cen Man couldn't hold on anymore, she saw Huo Li in the flames, and he insisted on opening a path with a flamethrower.

Huo Li asked Cen Man to put on his wet quilt, and the two of them set up Mrs. Huo and fled outside.

Mrs. Huo was taken to the hospital immediately, and the fire in Huo's house was extinguished a few hours later.

In this fire, the main rooms of the Huo family's old house built decades ago, such as the living room and the master bedroom, were burned down, and the other places were also smoky. Building, and now his crowning achievement is nothing but darkness.

Mrs. Huo suffered burns to almost 30.00% of her body, and was unconscious due to inhalation of too much smoke. The doctor also told Huo Li that her lungs and trachea were severely burned, and it was difficult to speak even after waking up.

Huo Li also accidentally burned his arm when he went in to save someone.

In the hospital, Cen Man looked at Huo Li worriedly. He didn't say a word, he just stood outside the ICU ward and looked at Mrs. Huo, who was wrapped in bandages and full of tubes, without moving a step.

As the eldest lady of the family and later the wife of the Huo family, my mother has always been pampered and has never suffered a bit, but now she has become like this. How can she face the unbearable pain and long suffering after waking up? recovery period.

Huo Li, who had always been calm, thought of this, and couldn't bear the pain in his heart anymore. He raised his arm and threw it at the wall. The moment his arm hit the wall, he found that it hit Cen Man.

Although he didn't hit the wall, Huo Li's injured arm still oozes blood. He squatted down in pain. Cen Man didn't care about his pain, and quickly squatted down to check his torn wound.

Huo Li stopped Cen Man from checking him. Seeing such a mother, he buried his head in Cen Man's arms and shed tears silently. Cen Man could only hug him gently, patting him slowly like comforting a child. Rubbing his back to calm him down.

Seeing this, the doctor at the side also sighed and comforted him: "Your mother has stabilized now, and Mr. Huo needs to cheer up. In the future, the family will need long-term patient company and careful care. After all, it is not easy to save a life in this situation. .”

Huo Li decided to temporarily hand over the Huo family to Cen Man to take care of Mrs. Huo himself.

During these days, Cen Man was busy with work in the company during the day, and often came to accompany her at night when she was worried. The overload of pressure made her exhausted.

Once I met Huang Ailin by chance, and saw that her mental state was extremely poor, so I kindly proposed to take care of Mrs. Huo in the hospital instead of her:
"Sister Xiaoman, don't get me wrong, you guys saved me in Zhangjiajie before, so it's only right for me to help at this time."

Cen Man couldn't evade it and could only express his gratitude.

That day, Huang Ailin came to Mrs. Huo's ward with fruit, saw Huo Li lying on the sofa and fell asleep, she tiptoed over to cover him with a blanket.

When Huo Li woke up, he found Huang Ailin sitting beside him, handing him the cut fruit, but he didn't pick it up and asked, "Why are you, Manman?"

Huang Ailin shyly withdrew her hand, afraid that she might offend him, and said cautiously: "Miss Xiaoman is too tired, so I advised her to go back and rest. I just came to see you for her."

"You'd better go back. There are the best nurses here. I'm the only one who stays here because I don't feel at ease." Realizing that his tone was a bit unfriendly, Huo Li hesitated and explained, and then he didn't speak again.

"I promised Sister Xiaoman, I will stay here tonight, if you have any objections, just ignore me." Huang Ailin stayed in this silence until morning before leaving.

Huo Li, who was in the hospital the next day, was summoned to the police station, "Mr. Huo, this is the investigation report of the fire, please take a look."

"In addition, we would like to ask, how is the relationship between your wife and Mrs. Huo?"

Huo Li did not answer but stared at the little policeman who asked the question. The little policeman was a little hairy and said hastily, "Mr. Huo, the servant who first discovered the fire in Huo's house said that she ran into a woman who looked very much like your wife." Flee from the scene of the crime."

"Is it like it must be?"

"Of course not, but we asked your wife. She didn't have a sufficient alibi that day, and according to the investigations of the past few days, your mother and your wife have not had a good relationship, and there was a trouble with the Disabled Persons' Federation, Mrs. Huo I was detained at this time, am I right?"

"So your wife has a motive." The little policeman said directly, he was a little displeased with Huo Li's non-cooperation, and muttered that this rich man just likes to put on airs.

"I believe my wife. If there is no other evidence, I will leave first." Huo Li ignored the little policeman's dissatisfaction, got up and was about to leave.

"Mr. Huo, please stay and take a good look. Is this your wife's thing? It was found at the scene of the fire." The little policeman took out a photo and put it in front of Huo Li.

Huo Li still had no expression on his face, but his pupils inadvertently dilated, and he saw the diamond swan brooch he gave Cen Man earlier.

The little policeman noticed his subtle changes, and said mockingly: "The fire started from the living room, and most of the things in it were reduced to ashes. We found this brooch in the wreckage of the sofa. It is suspected that the arsonist accidentally set it." Keep it. As far as we know, this is what you took at the auction, and Mr. Huo didn't give it to his wife, so wouldn't it be given to some lover?"

"I gave it to my mother, can't I?" He ignored the little policeman's ridicule, and changed his posture to say provocatively.

On the way back to the hospital, Huo Li was full of doubts. In fact, he was not as firm as he appeared at the police station. It could be said that the appearance of someone similar to Cen Man was just a coincidence. Then how to explain this brooch? She never took it out again, how could she appear in Huo's old house?
He forced himself to stop thinking about it and trust Cen Man, but the scene of her accusing her mother of being the murderer behind the car accident was still vivid in his memory. It was not without reason that she wanted to take revenge on her mother.

Pushing open the door of the ward, he sat beside Mrs. Huo, held her hand and said silently, Mom, please wake up and tell me who made you like this.

Mrs. Huo didn't respond at all as if she was in a deep sleep. The only sound in the room was the sound of the ventilator reminding the cruelty of reality.

"Drink some water." He looked up and saw Huang Ailin standing beside him holding a cup,

At this time, Huo Li, who was in a state of confusion, wanted her to leave, but Huang Ailin ignored it and said, "It's time to change the medicine, should I help you or call the nurse?"

While holding his arm, she loosened the gauze and gently applied the ointment.

Huo Li acquiesced to Huang Ailin's existence in the hospital these days, because he was more afraid of facing Cen Man, and didn't know whether he should ask her for clarification.

In Huo's Group, due to the absence of the president, Cen Man took on all the affairs and was extremely busy.

"Cen Man? We suspect that you are related to an arson case. Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation." Two policemen came to the Huo Group and invited her to the police station under the curious eyes of the employees.

In the interrogation room, where the lights were dazzlingly bright, two policemen put a stack of evidence in front of Cen Man, "Ms. Cen Man, considering you can't speak, we don't want to take a radical approach, but if you can't provide the evidence of the day the crime happened Based on the evidence present, we have reason to suspect that it was you who started the fire in Huo's house."

Cen Man shook her head. She happened to be buying things for Xiao Huomo’s kindergarten activities at a nearby shop that day, but the owner of the shop couldn’t be found after the fire broke out, and the shop was closed. She couldn’t find other ones for the time being. People can prove themselves.

"Is the relationship between you and Mrs. Huo very bad? According to Huo's servants, she often insults you in private or in public. Do you feel resentful because of this and have the urge to murder her?"

Listening to the police's words, Cen Man was a little dazed and didn't know how she was connected with the arson case of Huo Zhai. Looking at the serious faces, she felt scared in her heart.

"Ms. Cen Man!" The policeman noticed that the woman in front of him seemed to be distracted, so they yelled sharply. When they found that she didn't respond, they just grabbed a pen and wrote on the table: "I want to see my husband Huo Li."
