"Qin Tian, be careful!"

Seeing Qin Tian charging into the sea of flames without hesitation, Murong Fei shouted twice. Then, thinking of her Spirit Grass, she hesitated for a moment and also rushed into the blazing fire.

The fire continued to spread, but Qin Tian and Murong Fei moved very quickly and knowing exactly where the Spirit Grass was placed, they used the Wave Striding Technique and Flowing Cloud Skill, and within two minutes, they both simultaneously rushed out from the villa.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness this is preserved."

Qin Tian looked at his backpack, feeling a lingering fear.

He glanced at Murong Fei and asked, "Why did you follow me inside?"

His gaze fell on the small bundle of Spirit Grass in Murong Fei's hands, and Qin Tian asked, "Would you really risk your life for such a small amount of Spirit Grass?"

Murong Fei gazed deeply at Qin Tian and said seriously, "This is something you gave me, something you treat like a treasure, so how could I ignore it?"

Qin Tian pursed his lips and gave her a slight smile.

Looking at the blaze in front of them, Qin Tian scratched his head: "Who on earth would find this place just to start a fire? Is it targeting us deliberately or just causing trouble?"

Without any leads, Qin Tian couldn't figure it out at all.

Murong Fei, on the other hand, appeared quite shocked at this moment and said, "I have surveillance cameras installed around my villa. Even though there's a fire now, look, the surveillance in the yard is still intact, you can check the footage."

"Oh, right."

Qin Tian handed the backpack to Murong Fei and leaped over the courtyard wall, swiftly heading for the villa's surveillance room, which was downstairs with a security door installed, resistant to fire and theft, likely not destroyed.

Shortly after Qin Tian went in, the firefighting team also arrived.

It took more than an hour for the fire to be completely extinguished.

At this point, Qin Tian was in the surveillance room, staring blankly at the screen showing a shadowy figure.

The figure was entirely cloaked in a black robe, and Qin Tian couldn't discern from the footage whether it was a man or a woman.

This shadow drove a black Hyundai over, without a license plate on the car.

On the surveillance, the shadow exited the car, took several cans of gasoline from the trunk, leapt over, and entered the villa's courtyard wall!

Without a doubt, this person's skills were incredibly good!

Qin Tian continuously searched his memories, wondering who on earth could this be? But he had no impression at all.

The shadow seemed to know that Qin Tian and Murong Fei were not inside the villa, so brazenly poured gasoline all over the villa and set it on fire, then swiftly exited the villa.

This shadow was extremely arrogant, clearly aware of the villa's surveillance locations, but didn't care at all and was exceedingly cocky!

After the fire in the villa ignited, the shadow even pointed a middle finger at the surveillance camera at the villa's main entrance and made a throat-slitting gesture!

Arrogant to the extreme!

Qin Tian gritted his teeth, his fists tightly clenched: "This guy must really hate me, burning the villa then relishing in others' misfortune, typical of a revengeful mindset!"

Murong Fei, standing beside him, curiously asked: "Then who could it be? This person's skills, especially their footwork, are quite impressive."

"I've been wondering too, as per my memory, there aren't many opponents with such skills."

"Could it be Shangguan Zhenxiong?"

"Him?"

Upon hearing Murong Fei's words, Qin Tian was taken aback, saying: "I don't think so, this person's physique seems thinner compared to Shangguan Zhenxiong, plus, Shangguan Zhenxiong has backing from his sect members, if he seeks revenge on me, wouldn't just burning our villa be too simple? He'd certainly attempt to assassinate me, based on my observations of his ways."

After analyzing, Qin Tian shifted his tone and said: "However, this person's height does resemble Shangguan Zhenxiong somewhat..."

In his mind, Qin Tian wasn't really suspecting that it was Shangguan Zhenxiong, he was more inclined to think: could it be Xie Yuwei sending someone to retaliate against him? But then again, he felt the last encounter had already caused Xie Yuwei significant psychological trauma, would that nasty person still dare to provoke him?

The firefighters and police came to investigate Qin Tian and Murong Fei, but naturally, Qin Tian didn't mention anything, not even about the surveillance footage to the police.

The villa was temporarily destroyed, so Qin Tian and Murong Fei could only reside at Qin Tian's villa.

Their journey was filled with discussions about who the shadow might be, but they still couldn't deduce any results.

The investigation into the villa's arson remained inconclusive, but the next day, when Qin Tian picked up another copy of the Entertainment Daily, he was shocked.

Needless to say, Qin Tian hit the headlines again.

And this time, he appeared alongside Murong Fei.

The headline was utterly sensational: "Shocking! Mystery Tycoon Qin Tian Has a Stunning Beauty as Mistress!"

Upon seeing the headline, Qin Tian was speechless.

Damn, where's the conscience of today's journalists? Where's their professional ethics? Yesterday, Murong Fei clearly mentioned a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and now when it appears in the newspaper, it's just suddenly a mistress?

Murong Fei likewise saw this news and was quite upset about the photos of her brother and Qin Tian.

Entertainment Daily had crudely Photoshopped Qin Tian and Murong Fei's pictures together, making it look very unnatural.

"Today's reporters have no conscience. They completely distorted my words from yesterday, and even expanded upon their imagination. Had I known this, I wouldn't have stood up and spoken yesterday, now I'm dragged into this mess."

Murong Fei had always been a low-key person, even being very cautious about appearing in finance magazines before, and now appearing in entertainment papers was a bit unsettling for her.

"Luckily, they haven't fully investigated my background, otherwise it would be truly troublesome to deal with..."

Murong Fei shook her head with a bitter smile, feeling that if this were in Zhonghai City, her identity would surely have been exposed.

"With the internet being so advanced now, your photo is already out there, how can it be impossible to trace your background?"

Qin Tian flipped through his phone and then handed it to Murong Fei, showing her what he saw on Weibo: "Look, your identity has already been dug out on Weibo..."

Murong Fei sighed deeply, leaning her head towards Qin Tian and browsing Weibo together with him.

Undoubtedly, both Qin Tian and Murong Fei had hit the trending topics on Weibo, with their popularity showing no sign of diminishing.

The hot search terms related to Qin Tian were "Mystery Tycoon Qin Tian," ranking third on the trending list and showing an upward trend.

And the term associated with Murong Fei was "Peerless Mistress Murong Fei," ranking fifth on the trending list and rising even faster.

"These people, these netizens are so despicable! Maliciously slandering me, 'Peerless Mistress'... What kind of nonsense and rumors are they making up!"

Seeing the term related to her, the usually calm Murong Fei was instantly infuriated, her face turning red with anger.
