Meng Xue realized that I had begun to suspect her, and she would surely take action. 0
 
Sure enough, she quickly approached Meng Jie, and the two conspired to orchestrate an accident that would make me completely "disappear." 0
 
In their eyes, it was a perfect plan. 0
 
They could deceive everyone right under their noses. 0
 
And I could only suffer in silence, with no way to express my pain. 0
 
They arranged a family gathering. 0
 
On the surface, it was meant to strengthen the bonds among family members. 0
 
But in reality, it was aimed at dealing with me. 0
 
I sensed their hypocrisy and decided to turn the tables on them. 0
 
Halfway through the gathering, Meng Xue suddenly suggested playing hide and seek. 0
 
Before I could react, Meng Jie had already enthusiastically agreed. 0
 
"Great! I really want to play too!" Meng Jie said excitedly. 0
 
Meng Zhengting and Meng's Mother exchanged glances and smiled in agreement. 0
 
 
"Alright, let's play then." 0
 
"But, Meng Xue, you better not cheat!" 0
 
Meng Xue chuckled and said, "How could I possibly cheat?" 0
 
"Okay, I'm going to start counting now, everyone hurry and hide!" 0
 
With that, she closed her eyes and began to count. 0
 
Seeing this, I had no choice but to get up and find a place to hide. 0
 
However, just as I was looking for a hiding spot, Meng Xue suddenly ignited something. 0
 
Immediately, I smelled a strong odor of fuel. 0
 
I was startled and quickly pushed the door open. 0
 
But I found that the main door had already been locked by Meng Jie. 0
 
Before leaving, he flashed me a sinister smile. 0
 
"You'll just stay here and quietly wait for your demise." 0
 
With that, he turned and walked away. 0
 
 
At this moment, Meng Xue had already ignited the gasoline. 0
 
The roaring flames instantly erupted. 0
 
I calmed myself and focused on the window I had my eye on from the beginning. 0
 
The flames had already spread to beneath my feet. 0
 
I felt the intense burning sensation. 0
 
But I couldn't stop. 0
 
I had to escape from here. 0
 
Finally, I grasped the edge of the window and pushed myself hard, launching my body out. 0
 
Meanwhile, Meng Xue and Meng Jie were among the crowd, pretending to be panicked. 0
 
"Oh no, it's on fire!" 0
 
"Someone come, help put it out!" 0
 
They shouted loudly, attracting countless servants. 0
 
Everyone was busy trying to extinguish the fire, and no one noticed me. 0
 
 
Just when they thought they had succeeded, I slowly walked out from the crowd. 0
 
In front of everyone, I exposed all the crimes committed by the two of them. 0
 
Meng Zhengting's face turned ashen as he tried to cover it all up. 0
 
But it was too late. 0
 
I had already gathered enough evidence. 0
 
I forced him to admit everything. 0
 
Everything started three days ago. 0
 
That day, on the eve of the party, I accidentally discovered something unusual. 0
 
I saw Meng Jie and Meng Xue whispering to each other and frequently entering and exiting the kitchen. 0
 
I found it a bit strange at the time, but I didn't think much of it. 0
 
Until the day of the party, just a few minutes before the fire broke out, I suddenly smelled a faint odor of gasoline. 0
 
My sense of smell is much sharper than average, and I immediately realized something was wrong. 0
 
And I had already taken photos and videos of their actions with my phone. 0
 
 
The video clearly recorded the crimes of Meng Xue and Meng Jie. 0
 
Before the fire started, the two of them sneaked into the room and poured a lot of gasoline in the corner. 0
 
Then, they deliberately locked the door and ignited the gasoline. 0
 
Their actions were clearly intended to put me to death. 0
 
I looked at Meng Zhengting and said coldly, "Do you still think they are innocent?" 0
 
Meng Zhengting's face turned extremely ugly as he stared at me, remaining silent for a long time. 0
 
I knew he was considering how to handle this matter. 0
 
After all, Meng Xue and Meng Jie were his favored children. 0
 
If he chose to protect them, he would lose me as his daughter. 0
 
But if he chose to handle it justly, then Meng Xue and Meng Jie would receive the punishment they deserved. 0
