Chapter 181: Arson Murder Plot? Consider It Accepted!

Su Yang, the First Place moment after his return, immediately ran to the side of the Villa.

Yesterday Tang Youning and Jiang Hua came back late; he thought there must be something fishy inside.

The former returned covered in Sweat, which could not possibly be due to a date.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, after circling, Su Yang suddenly noticed traces of disturbed soil on the ground.

He, with bare hands, peeled off the surface layer, only to discover a curtain emitting a strange scent.

"This isn't …" Su Yang's Brow tightened as he lifted it to scrutinize.

"The curtain in the room?"

At this moment, a layout of Huangfu Shu's room suddenly floated in his Brain!

"Bury the curtain in the soil, planning to hold some kind of ceremony?" Su Yang felt confused.

He removed all the curtain, but discovered many pieces of Clothing underneath.

Along with Underpants and socks stained with yellow grime.

Su Yang is not superstitious, and does not believe in the soul‑calming talk.

He immediately endured the discomfort, brought it to his face and sniffed.

"Oil?"

Uncertain, he sniffed again.

After going back and forth twice, he found it seemed to be a kind of vegetable Oil.

Mixed with the smell of soil, the flavors blended a bit.

"Combustibles with Oil… they intend to set Fire?" A flash of insight suddenly flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

He suddenly recalled the words Jiang Hua said that morning—

'If the house catches Fire, I won't shout.'

At the time he thought it was a joke; now it seems he had long harbored such thoughts.

So why, when he could act directly, did he make this unnecessary move?

Su Yang pondered for a moment, re‑stuffed the items, and filled the soil back.

Immediately he circled again, returning from another direction to the starting position.

Passing the fountain, he used water to wash the mud off his hands.

He stood up, looked at the Villa with flickering lights, and thought, "I'll see how long you can endure."

The reason Su Yang didn't dig out and discard the items inside was that he feared stirring the grass and scaring the snake.

They didn't brazenly store the items; instead they expended great effort digging a pit.

Surely they intended it as a backup.

Su Yang guessed the two would develop murderous intent, but didn't expect they had already prepared.

Setting Fire is indeed despicable and troublesome, but it also effectively prevents a 'returning to the scene' situation.

Compared to stabbing someone to death with a single slash, burning them to charcoal is more effective.

Thinking this, Su Yang adopted a weary demeanor and walked in.

"I'm back."

"You're late, come sit down quickly." Jiang Hua patted the sofa beneath him.

"The farewell took some time; you haven't started the settlement yet, have you?" Su Yang said as he sat down.

"Not yet, just turned on the TV." Jiang Hua said, but his Nose twitched suddenly.

Su Yang noticed his action, calmly said, "What's wrong?"

"You have… a strange scent on you." Jiang Hua pinched his cuff and sniffed, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Probably a Sweat odor; I walked a long distance today." Su Yang said as if oblivious.

"No, not a Sweat scent." Jiang Hua persisted, pulling, as if trying to find the reason.

Su Yang's mind flickered, teasing, "Could it be the scent of photinia flowers?"

"To hell with you." Jiang Hua, as if facing a great enemy, pushed him away irritably.

Sitting like a wooden statue beside them, Tang Youning stepped forward, took a sniff, and said, "It doesn't smell like photinia flower."

"No, Brother Ning, you really smelled it; he's obviously joking." Jiang Hua, unable to laugh or cry, said.

Su Yang couldn't help but raise his thumb, "Brother Ning, despite being a few years older than us, your life experience is indeed rich."

Tang Youning heard the teasing in the words, his mouth corner twitched slightly.

This interlude was quickly passed over by other topics.

Jiang Hua's dog‑like sense of smell for a moment made Su Yang's heart rise to his throat.

He wasn't worried the other would erupt in violence, only that the two might change the plan.

As long as they continue following the set plan, Su Yang has a countermeasure.

"Today finally lets Brother Ning also experience the joy of 'three people moving together'; how does it taste?"

"Alas." Tang Youning let out a deep sigh, shaking his head helplessly.

"What, can't handle it?"

"The dinner choices are giving me a headache; Xu Yutong wants hotpot, Zhao Huaillei wants sushi, and I'm stuck in the middle—whichever I pick is wrong." Tang Youning slapped his forehead, his words tinged with bitterness.

"Just let the two discuss it." Su Yang said.

"I thought the same, but they made me choose; I don't want to offend either side."

"What's the final plan?" Jiang Hua suddenly became interested.

"I chose barbecue…"

"Puff— Hahaha!" Jiang Hua Laughed, rolling all over the sofa.

Su Yang instantly Sweat‑blushed, "Then aren't you offending both sides?"

Tang Youning hurriedly explained, "I thought like this: a self‑serve BBQ place has both sushi and Fire pot, so both people are happy."

"So are they happy?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"Not happy…" Tang Youning shrugged his Shoulder.

"Laughing to death, Brother Ning, you're truly a genius." Jiang Hua Laughed, his face flushing red.

This approach indeed seemed like something he would do.

"Did I do something wrong? I just wanted to satisfy both people at once." Tang Youning said, puzzled.

Su Yang earnestly patted his Shoulder, "Actually, girls only want your attitude; when a dispute arises, what to eat is no longer important."

"I've never encountered this, Su Yang, if it were you, what would you choose?" Tang Youning argued logically.

Su Yang thought carefully and replied, "I would set the terms at the start of the date, preferably all three discuss together, rather than deciding near mealtime."

"Date time is limited; being anxious is normal."

"Had I known, I would have asked you first." Tang Youning felt it made perfect sense and said regretfully.

The next moment, the Screen suddenly displayed a line of text—

'Now showcasing the player's Highlight Moment.'

Sight this, Su Yang turned his body, awaiting the result.

"Huh? Yesterday it only showed Favorability and Performance Score, seems there was no 'Highlight Moment'." Jiang Hua said.

"Probably because a person was missing," Su Yang replied offhand.

"Make sure to give me high marks!" Jiang Hua again performed the 'Divine Request' great method, hands clasped, sincerely Wish.

A familiar Tiger machine suddenly appeared on the Screen.

Its top bore Su Yang's name in bold.

"Are you first today?" Jiang Hua was initially stunned, then his nervous expression deepened a few points.

There was no other reason; if Su Yang went first, with his outstanding performance, the rest would feel immense pressure.

Tang Youning thought the same and said in a deep voice, "It can't be above eighty points, right?"

Su Yang smiled without replying, guessing his score would not exceed forty points.

Unable to reach the passing line.

'Swish—'

As the numbers Crazy spun, the two stared at the Screen without blinking, their breathing slowed.

'Clack!'

The units digit froze—number 3.

"83?" Jiang Hua's heart trembled dramatically.

'Clack!'

The tens digit froze—2.

"What?! 23 points?" Jiang Hua abruptly turned his head, looking at Su Yang with an incredulous expression.

Facing this result, Su Yang was unsurprised, and smiled, saying:

"I accept."
