Chapter 286: Chapter 275: Mysterious Dimension 30

"He said it himself, we came to you wanting to investigate who set the fire, and why they knocked out Tian Rong’s third son. We hope you can help clear things up." Xia Yue continued when she noticed her waver.

"How are you planning to investigate? It’s been three years, and this place was severely burned. Even if there was evidence, it’s all gone now." The man spoke to them coldly.

"We should ask, apart from you and Tian’s third son, who else knew about your plan to fake your own deaths and elope? We can investigate from the people who knew about this." Xia Yue turned to Qin Qi and suggested.

Qin Qi shifted her glance among them, then looked back at the man standing in front of her.

"Let’s move inside to talk. The sun outside is a bit harsh, and I would like to know about the situation as well." The man spoke indifferently.

Xia Yue instantly turned her gaze to Yan Mo and his crew. Yan Mo nodded in agreement, it would be best if Qin Qi was willing to talk, even though it was the man’s suggestion.

They migrated behind the stage, where they found a spot, cleaned it up, and sat down.

Xia Yue procured a notebook and a pen, preparing to jot down the important details that Qin Qi might reveal.

"Miss Qin Qi, in regards to yours and Tian Rong’s third son’s faked deaths and elopement, besides you two, who else knew? Or, before you carried out this plan, did you meet anyone or hear anything unusual? Don’t overlook any details." Yan Mo asked earnestly while looking at Qin Qi.

Qin Qi glanced at the man and the man gave a nod.

Qin Qi started to recall the events that occurred three years ago.

These were the moments she least wished to recall, because she felt she was betrayed. But now, it might have been a misunderstanding, so she was not as averse.

Yan Mo and the rest didn’t rush her, they just quietly observed her.

Just as Xia Yue was almost nodding off, Qin Qi finally looked up at Yan Mo and others.

Xia Yue immediately sat upright, knowing that Qin Qi was going to start talking.

"Since I was sold to the opera troupe, they held a lifelong contract for me. If I were to run away, the troupe leader could report me to the government office, which would send officers to capture me.

Therefore, to eliminate worries, Tian Rong devised it for me to fake my death on the stage, thus leaving everyone to believe that I was indeed dead, which in turn, allowed me to leave without fear of being recaptured.

According to the plan, I would be wearing a simple costume the day of, after the fire broke out, I would place the costume on a dummy hidden on stage, he would appear on the stage to save me and we would run,

We were to take a train directly to the south to start a new life.

On the day the plan was to become effective, a fire broke out. For some reason, my costume caught on fire immediately and couldn’t be extinguished.

Nonetheless, the costume I was wearing that day needed to be doused with alcohol to catch fire and burn as intensely."

"Also, according to the plan, Tian Rong was supposed to come to find me but never showed up. I was burnt to death on stage."

Recalling this, Qin Qi’s eyes were filled with terror, her encounter with the fire had introduced her to the agonising hell of living but wishing she were dead.

"And who else knew about this plan?" Xia Xi asked again.

"Tian Rong’s friend, the youngest son of the Tang family, Tang Ming. We met only because he brought Tian Rong to watch the opera, we were introduced then.

We had him buy our train tickets to the south, as we feared using Tian Rong’s identity would arouse suspicion and lead to a discovery." Qin Qi quickly replied.

Upon hearing the name Tang Ming, the man beside them blinked. Xia Yue, who had been paying close attention to him, didn’t miss it.

She thought, ’That man who had a date with Tang Ming was indeed the person standing before her eyes.’
