Chapter 290: Chapter 279: Mysterious Dimension 34

"It’s so hot, so hot, so painful, Wan Ting I’m in pain, the fire is so hot, help me~" Just as Wan Ting let out a sigh, a grim wicked voice sounded, scaring Wan Ting into continuously screaming, begging it not to come near her.

"Wan Ting, why did you set the fire? I’m in so much pain, I’m burning, why did you have to burn me alive?" The mournful and resentful voice kept ringing in Wan Ting’s ears.

Wan Ting was trembling with fear, covering her head with the blanket, violently shaking her head.

"Don’t come near me, don’t come near me, don’t come near me."

Seeing her like this, Xia Yue and a few others couldn’t help doubting if they’d got the wrong person; they felt a little guilty tricking someone like this.

But then, they dismissed such thoughts.

Wan Ting called out in fear,

"Don’t blame me, don’t blame me. If anyone is to be blamed, it’s you for seeing what you shouldn’t have seen."

"If you hadn’t witnessed what you shouldn’t have, none of this would have happened."

"Didn’t you want to die? I was just helping you. How can you trouble me?"

"You should know, if the Tian Family found out about your fake death and running away with Master Tian, they wouldn’t spare you or the Xì yuán. How can you drag us all to death with you?"

"Don’t blame me, don’t come after me, I was just following orders."

After saying everything in one breath, Wan Ting hid under the blanket, shivering, deeply fearing that the ghost of Qin Qi would come to kill her.

"Nonsense, I didn’t see anything. You actually want to kill me for that, you’re too cruel, Wan Ting."

"Tell me, who is making you do this? If you don’t tell me, I won’t let you go."

The sound of Qin Qi’s voice filled Wan Ting’s ears. Hearing that Qin Qi would keep hounding her, her body trembled even more.

"I’ll tell you, it was the man from the Ninth Moon District, when he approached me, he asked me to put forbidden substances into the tea of the opera visitors. At first, I didn’t want to agree, but he threatened me, saying that if I didn’t agree, he’d break my father and younger brother’s legs, so I agreed.

We had just finished talking when you showed up. He suspected you had overheard our conversation, so he sent someone to watch you. When he heard about your plan to fake your death and elope with Master Tian, he ordered me to take advantage of this and kill you, to prevent his plan being exposed."

"Because he was afraid that if Master Tian died, the Tian Family would investigate him, so he knocked him out and sent him back to the Tian Family."

Despite her fear, Wan Ting gave a truthful account.

"I was really forced into doing this. Even though I hate you for stealing my role as the leading lady, I’ve never wanted to kill you. It was your unfortunate fate crossing that path."

Even now, Wan Ting didn’t think she did anything wrong. She was forced into doing this. She was innocent.

"Forbidden substances?! You’re actually giving visitors forbidden substances, have you gone mad?" Qin Qi’s horrified voice echoed in Wan Ting’s ears.

"I was forced to do it. I didn’t want to do it either. But my father and younger brother owe the Ninth Moon District considerable gambling debts. If I didn’t do it, they would kill my father and brother," Wan Ting shouted.

Standing aside, Xia Xi and Mo Si decided it was enough and removed the illusion from Wan Ting, motioning for her to faint and lay back again.

"We should go back, let’s check this Ninth Moon District chief tomorrow, and find out what this forbidden substance is," Mo Si suggested to Xia Xi.

"Alright, let’s go."

The two of them came silently, and they left the theatre just as quietly, heading back to their hotel.
