ase help the four of you outside to protect me.Ripples bowed."Thank you, Lu Yao Fairy!"The four bowed together and then exited the "treasure chamber" where the evil artifact was sealed."Senior Brother..."The other party was clearly trying to lure the tiger away from its mountain, how could you fall for it."

Wan Liang frowned and said, in his eyes, the four lions were very professional and should not have made such a low-level mistake.

At this moment, Gong Fan and Ma Lu both fell silent. After exchanging a glance, Gong Fan broke the silence:

When he ran past us, we saw that he was holding a timer bomb in his hand. Because he was moving so fast, we couldn't tell if it was real or not, so we chased after him.

Upon hearing this, Wan Liang dispensed with the rest of his questions. If he were in their shoes, he would have chased after them too, after all, there were still other people here.

Did you catch up

"When the other party saw us trying to catch up, they threw a device that looked like a timed bomb. We were afraid something would happen, so we had to give up chasing them and go find the suspicious device."

"The result was a hollow time bomb, with no explosives inside. We realized something was wrong and when we turned back, the situation had already escalated."

Gong Fan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Although they had discussed various possibilities before coming here, including the possibility of being reassigned, none of them had expected this method.

A ticking time bomb posed a serious threat in their eyes. Even if they suspected it was intentional, to prevent the mastermind from causing chaos with a real bomb, they still pursued it.

How is the situation with ripples

Still unconscious, Officer Tong was guarding her inside.

"I'll go take a look."

When Wan Liang pushed the door open, he saw Tong Wanwan using a wet towel to wipe the black grime off Lian Yi's face.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Tong Wanwan immediately turned her head and asked in a low voice:

"Are you okay, Vanke"

"I'm fine! How about her"

"The doctor said it was inhaling dust that caused the coma, first aid has been given, and he should be waking up soon."

Tong Wanwan whispered.

As soon as she finished speaking, the person lying on the hospital bed let out a sob and slowly opened their eyes. They then suddenly sat up.

Wanliang and Tong Wanwan immediately turned their heads to look at Lianyi, who was still a little dazed.

"Ripples, are you alright"

Tong Wanwan tentatively asked.

Liàn Yī rubbed her own neck and coughed twice before speaking.

"How did I get here I remember the fire!"

"Yes, your room caught fire suddenly, and the door was locked. When we broke the door open, we found you were trapped under a table and unconscious. It was Master Wan who saved you."

Tong Wanwan immediately said.

How could you be trapped under the table

"Cloudshade! It's Cloudshade! Where is she"

Ripples grabbed Tong Wanwan's arm and asked loudly.

"Ripples, don't get excited first, tell us what happened"

Wan Liang immediately said.

“I remember I was trying hard to anger her at the time, hoping to get some useful information out of her. Then I heard a siren and I went to the door to see what was going on. That's when Yun Yi attacked me from behind.”

Ripple said this, and then she even touched her own neck.

Tong Wanwan nodded at Wan Liang, and then continued:

"When the doctor examined Ripples, he found red marks on her neck, which must have been caused when she was knocked unconscious."

I don't know how long I was unconscious, but I felt the temperature rising around me. A choking smell of smoke woke me up, and then I saw Yunyi pulling at my clothes. I pushed her away in a daze and saw that the room was on fire, spreading rapidly outwards.

But the clouds surged towards me like a madman, trying to grab my clothes. We fought, and that's how my jacket got ripped off.

She ignored the flames around her and continued to attack me. I picked up a chair and smashed it towards her, hitting her head directly. She rolled into the fire, and I tried to save her, but she kicked me away with one foot. The last thing I remember was hitting the table before losing consciousness.

Wan Liang and Tong Wanwan looked at each other, seeming to understand what Yun Yi wanted to do.

"Where are the clouds"

The ripples asked again.

She perished in the inferno.

Finally, Wan Liang opened his mouth and gave the answer.

"How is that possible She had the strength to kick me down, how could she die in a sea of fire She could have just opened the door and gotten out. Did she do this on purpose to escape"

Lin was a little skeptical of Wanliang's words.

"Her body has already been taken away. An autopsy will be performed. I'll tell them what you said, and they will cross-reference it."

Wan Liang comforted him.

"Didn't you see all that commotion in the room just now You couldn't have missed it, even if you didn't see it."

Ripple continued.

First, the fire alarm went off, and then our monitoring equipment short-circuited, going completely black. We couldn't see what was happening in the room.

After Vanke saved you, he risked his life and went back in once more, trying to salvage the equipment. Unfortunately, everything was gone, all burned up.

Tong Wanwan patiently explained, stating that they weren't unwilling to help, but there were other reasons behind their actions.

"With so much commotion, how could the lions not react"

They were deliberately led away.

This time, the answer is Wanliang.

They really went to great lengths to kill me, making such thorough preparations! Perhaps their goal wasn't just to have me dead, but also to help Yun Yi regain her identity. That's why she was so eager to strip me naked.

As soon as she uttered the word "ripples," both Wan Liang and Tong Wanwan's expressions changed, and they looked at her simultaneously.

"I am a ripple, not a cloud. Even though I've played the role of a cloud for so long, I'm still not her. You can verify my DNA; this is something that can't be faked."

Ripple said openly.

"We'll do that, and as for the cause of Yun Yi's death, the police will conduct a further investigation."

Wan Liang seemed a little doubtful of Lian Yi, but he spoke directly anyway and gave Tong Wanwan a knowing look.

Tong Wanwan understood. She went to the medical room and took a cotton swab. In front of Wan Liang, she collected Lianyi's DNA and sealed it in a bag. Then, holding Lianyi's hand, she comforted her:

"Ripples, you can rest assured that the chief wouldn't wrongly accuse a good person. You came here to persuade Yunyi to help us, and no one expected this kind of thing to happen."

"I know! I believe in you."

Liàn Yī nodded, grabbing Tong Wǎn Wǎn's hand and squeezing her wrist tightly. His gaze swept over the sealed bag in her hand, his eyes locked on her, a slight curve playing at the corner of his lips. He nodded his head imperceptibly.

Tong Wanwan's eyes flashed, then she slowly withdrew her hand and said to Wan Liang:

"Chief, I'll send it for inspection right away."

"Go away!"

Tong Wanwan pulled open the door and just happened to see the three lions outside. She said to them,

"The ripples are awake, you can go in and see her."

Thank you!

Tong Wanwan turned and left, almost bumping into Gong Fan at the corner.

Fortunately, Gong Fan reacted quickly and grabbed the other person's arm, stabilizing her figure so that she didn't bump into him.ensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. So he kept silent and wrote a letter in silence until Chen Kaishui asked him, then he stopped writing, looked up at the other party, and spoke:"Wu T...
