One could imagine how unusually composed and coldly detached the person was to ignore the fire happening behind them. A normal adult would surely take notice of another person in distress at such proximity. Unlike all those young people that night who were congregated in the main hall below and too engrossed in the energetic music to be aware of the disaster happening on the second floor, the person in black was close enough to notice Lu Jingtian on fire, yet they just calmly walked down the stairs and left the bar.

It was a spine-chilling thought.

This thought suddenly erupted in the actress’s mind.

That person is too suspicious to ignore!

There was even the unabridged footage available for viewing online. She clicked on the clip to see that only about twenty minutes passed from the time Lu Jingtian entered the bar until she was set on fire. Even though the private seat was at an optical blindspot, the actress still noticed that it was an abrupt combustion and not one that had only gradually intensified.

She recalled what her lead producer had told her, about the police finding traces of ethanol on the victim’s clothes.

Ethanol?

It means that it was no accident; it’s premeditated!

An idea flashed across her mind out of the blue, which caused her to be so startled that the phone slipped from her hand unknowingly. As the phone landed on the floor with a thud, she broke out in a cold sweat at the newfound realization.

The connection between her father and the young actress was suddenly apparent!

The fact that Yun Yecheng and Lu Jingtian were consecutively attacked with similar modus operandi was no coincidence. The perpetrator had used similar ruthless means against the two not to kill them but to inflict unimaginable pain on them, instead.

Only a few days had barely passed after the acid attack on her father when the young actress had met a similar, tragic fate. The two events might seem unrelated at first, but she was able to astutely figure out the commonalities between the two.

That person must have harbored a deep hatred against the two victims.

Her thoughts returned to one security footage released by the media in the past…

In last year’s Huanyu gala, Yun Na was fiercely tortured by Lu Jingtian, where the latter used an eyebrow shaving knife to disfigure her at the staircase.

It would not be surprising for the latter to nurse a deep grudge against the starlet after that incident.

Likewise, she bore hatred toward her biological father.

It’s Yun Na?!

The shocking thought surfaced in the actress’s mind.

She took a deep breath as her breathing started to grow irregular!

D*mn it!

I should’ve made the connection earlier!

The common thread between these two was Yun Na!

Oh, sh*t…

The actress picked up the phone on the ground in a hurry and made a quick call to her younger son with trembling fingers.

After a few seconds of the ringing tone, the phone got through and she could hear her son’s groggy voice over the earpiece. “Yes, mommy…”

Her heart settled somewhat when she heard his voice. “Are you asleep, Youyou?

“Yes…”

“Where’s daddy?”

“He’s in the study room.” The boy’s interest was piqued by then. “Mommy, why are you calling me so late at night? Has something happened?”

“Nothing much! I’m just worried about you and your brother. Did you bolt the balcony door when you went to bed earlier?”

“Yup!”

“How about…”

“The stove has been shut off and the backyard’s door has been locked from the inside, too. Be rest assured, mommy!”
