Chapter 291

The next day, early in the morning.

Su Eli was awakened by a knock on the door.

It's still dark now, who would come here so early?

Sang Xinyue was also sleepy and before she could react, Su Eli hurriedly put on her clothes, got out of bed and opened the door.

"Who is it?"

She stood in the door and asked.

"Girl Li, it's me!"

Isn't this voice Humboldt?

Why did he come and knock on the door so early in the morning?

Su Eli opened the door without looking, but she was shocked when she saw that besides Humboldt, there were seven or eight servants standing outside. She didn't know what they were going to do.

"What are you... doing?" Su Eli couldn't react. If she hadn't known that Wen An was standing behind her, she would have been a little afraid of the battle.

"I've heard about your family's affairs."

He was thinking about the colorful cream cake today and went there early. He heard from Master Wang that he had received a notice from Su Eli last night, saying that she would not be coming today. After careful questioning, he found out what happened.

"Then why did you bring so many people here?" Su Eli blinked her big eyes with a look of confusion on her face.

Humboldt cheered, "Aren't I the brother who brings people to support you? If you catch someone setting the fire today, I will bring people to help you beat him up!"

A black line suddenly appeared on Su'eri's face, trying to support her. She had Wen An here, so did she need anyone else to support her?

Besides, Humboldt believed her too much. After only one night, he was so sure that she already knew who the arsonist was.

"Hey, by the way, do you have anything to eat here? I came here early this morning and haven't eaten yet." Humboldt naturally asked the servants behind him if they had eaten, and received unanimous answers.

Su Eli sighed, feeling a little helpless. They must have come here in a hurry to get some food.

"Come in, everyone, don't block the door. People will think I'm being collected for debt if they don't know it." Su Eli opened the door and let them in.

Immediately afterwards, she called Sang Xinyue to get up, and the two of them cooked a meal together, which was enough for everyone to eat.

While eating, Humboldt had a flattering expression on his face and said, "Girl Li, your cooking is so delicious."

"Did you come to my house so early in the morning just to get some food?" Su Eli lowered her head to eat, too lazy to pay attention to him.

He curled his lips and said, "How do you say this? Didn't I say it? I'm here to help you support yourself."

Su Eli felt a headache, "I want to find the arsonist to compensate, not to find someone to force him to compensate. We don't need so many people."

Humboldt was very innocent, "Aren't I worried about you? Just take it with you. If the man doesn't admit it, I can beat him until he admits it."

"Young Master Hong, is your brain made of cement?"

"cement?"

Humboldt blinked his eyes stupidly, "What is cement?"

"That's your brain!" Su Eli felt like she couldn't finish the meal.

After finally finishing the meal, Su Eli told Sang Xinyue, "I've kept an eye on the two little dumplings at home. I can't take them with me when I go out this time. You must keep an eye on them."

"Don't worry, Li Yatou, you can just go." Sang Xinyue agreed, but was a little worried, "Do you think we can find the person who set the fire?"

"Don't worry, I won't let my house burn down in vain."

After walking a few steps out of the door, Su Eli felt a little awkward. When she looked back, seven or eight of Humboldt's servants were still following her.

"Do we have to let them follow us?" Su Eli was a bit confused.

"This is so grand, take it with you." Humboldt refused to go by himself no matter what.

It seemed that the young master's thinking was different from that of ordinary people. Su Eli had no choice but to agree.

A group of them first arrived at the village chief's house.

As soon as he saw Su Eli, the village chief asked with concern: "Girl Li, were you okay yesterday? How come this nice house started to burn just because you said it was burning!"

"It's not just a matter of burning it. If no one sets it on fire, my house probably won't burn down," Su Eli said.

The village chief was stunned, "So, you know who set the fire?"

Su Eli nodded and said, "Don't worry about this yet, village chief uncle, I'm here to ask you, if I don't report to the official and just want to be private, how should the person who set the fire compensate me?"

"Of course I will compensate you for what you burned?" the village chief said with certainty, "I will compensate you for the house and furniture that were burned, even if there is a piece of paper inside."

"What if they refuse?" Su Eli asked.

"According to village rules, if you don't agree, you have to get compensation back even if you force it." The village chief said, "If it still doesn't work, you can only report it to the official. Arson is a serious crime, and you probably won't be able to get out."

"

Su Eli pondered for a moment, "I feel relieved with your words. Then please ask the village chief uncle to bring a few people to bear witness, so that the person who set the fire will not admit it."

"Easy to say, easy to say." The village chief called his son and asked him to call a few respected elders in the village.

When everyone was gathered, the village chief asked again: "Girl Li, it's only been one night, are you really sure who set the fire?"

"Yes." Su Eli nodded firmly.

"Then let's go."

There were already quite a few people in Su Eli's group, and with the addition of these elders, they looked a bit majestic.

Grandma Sun was sitting at the door basking in the sun. When she saw these people, her eyes suddenly lit up and she muttered to herself, "There are so many people, I don't know what to do. It's so lively again."

She squinted her eyes and stared at the group of people carefully. Who knew that the group of people was actually walking towards her home.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Sun bounced off her pony. Seeing so many people coming, she couldn't help but feel guilty for no reason.

"Is Su Yuanbao at home? We are looking for Su Yuanbao." Su Eli looked over Mrs. Sun's head, looking for traces of Su Yuanbao.

"Why are you looking for him? Really." Mrs. Sun muttered and shouted inside, "Yuanbao! Damn it, I don't know why the broom star is looking for you!"

Hearing her yelling like this, the village chief couldn't help but frowned. How could a grandmother talk about her granddaughter like that? It really made him uncomfortable listening to it!

When he heard that Su Eli came to see him, Su Yuanbao Gulu, who was lying on the bed, stood up immediately, pushed aside the book covering his face, swayed his folding fan, and walked out slowly and deliberately.

After Su Yuanbao walked out, he looked at Su Eli sincerely and provocatively, and said angrily: "Broom star, why did you come to see me?"
