Chapter 266: The Truth About Bai Lu's Hard Work

Since she had already said it out loud, Shao Dong did not hide it from her. She told him about the bond in her heart and Shao Xi. Shao Nan listened for a while and did not say anything. Then, he suddenly said, “There is nothing to argue with. Let's find out while he's alive.” This way, they would not have to keep it in the bottle and leave it to be a thorn that could never be plucked out.

"Hows it? He won't admit it,” Shao Xi said.

“Then find a way to make him tell the truth. We can test it.”

"How's it?" Shao Xi was curious.

“Find something he is afraid of ..” Shao Nan thought when he heard Shao Dong say in a deep voice, “Get up like a ghost and act mysterious.” Zhao Lan was very afraid of ghosts.

Shao Xi was still processing it when Shao Nan reacted. "Good idea. Let's do it."

In the middle of the night, Mu Jingzhe was awakened by Shao Xi and the others. In a daze, he quickly asked them what was going on. When he finished listening, he was even more confused. However, when he saw Shao Dong and the others, he did not refuse in the end.

It was past five in the morning, but Zhao Lan was still awake. When he finally closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a faint sound outside the door. Crick... Crick...

It seemed like something was scratching the door, but when Zhao Lan listened carefully, there was nothing. Zhao Lan sighed in relief. Just as he was about to fall asleep again, the ringing sound of something scraping the door rang out again.

Zhao Lan suddenly opened her eyes. "Who is this?" he yelled. The creaking sound outside the door immediately disappeared.

However, when he lay down again, a creaking sound rang out again. Zhao Lan couldn't stand it anymore and got up to open the door, wanting to see who exactly was scratching her.

However, when he opened the door, there was no one in front of him. Instead, it seemed like there was something on the page. When he raised his head, it seemed like a white shadow had just come out of the courtyard.

Under the moonlight, the trees swayed, making Zhao Lan shiver. "Who is this?"

He shouted and turned on the flashlight, but the flashlight battery had long since run out, and he was unable to replace it. All that was left was a yellow light, and nothing could be illuminated by it. It's not even as bright as the moon.

Zhao Lan could not see what was ahead and retreated when she heard the wind. Just as he was about to return, he heard the sound of disjointed scratches on the door.

However, this time, it echoed outside the front door, as if someone was scratching the front door. The sounds came one after another, creaking at night. For a moment, the voice seemed anxious, but the next moment, it slowed down. There is no pattern.

Zhao Lan's hair stood up. He felt that this voice was somewhat familiar.

He was a bit scared and wanted to go back, but the thing outside seemed to sense his intention and suddenly started scratching again. There also seems to be a faint sound.

Zhao Lan called Eldest Brother Shao and Eldest Brother-in-law Shao a few times, but it was already late at night, and they both slept soundly.

Seeing them not moving, Zhao Lan felt even more afraid. Just as he was about to retreat to his room, the door behind him suddenly closed violently. As he heard the sound of the door creaking shut, he also heard a disjointed and indistinct voice.

“Bu... I've been waiting for you…

"If you don't come, I'll come to you ..."

Zhao Lan's expression changed. He searched around but could not find anyone anywhere. The mentality collapsed. He screamed and ran out. “Don't come!”

In her panic, she did not care about the sound of scratches on the door and ran over to it.

The voice drifted and sounded dragged out. Zhao Lan was terrified upon seeing this. He fell to the ground and only shouted after a long time, "Ghost!"

Zhao Lan returned to her senses and wanted to run back, but the door quietly closed behind her at some point. Zhao Lan could not push it open at all. He could only face the ghost in front of him again.

The ghost in the air reached out again and said weakly, “Let's go.. I. came to pick you up. Done. You have killed me. I've been following you and watching you..”.

As if he was now used to speaking, his voice slowly became smooth, but he spoke in a high-pitched voice. “I have never been reincarnated. I'm just waiting to personally take you to hell level 18 ... Come on, I've waited years for this day ... "

“No, I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving! Don't take my life..”.

Zhao Lan was so frightened that her mind had already collapsed. He could no longer tell if this was a dream or reality. He just wanted to escape from this disaster and not be taken away. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"I was wrong. Bai Lu, I was wrong. I knew I shouldn't have caused your death. I'm mistaken. Please let me go. I should have accidentally taken you to the hospital. I'm just can't stand you looking down on me and wanting to teach you a lesson so you'll give up and beg me. You just have to give up. I really didn't expect you to die.

“Although I was thinking of letting you die so that you wouldn't continue hogging Qihai's allowance, I didn't do anything. You died in childbirth. It has nothing to do with me. Stop looking for me..”.

Zhao Lan had not expected Bai Lu to come look for her on the day of her death. “Bai Lu, please don't take me away. I would not dare to hurt anyone again. Please let me go…

“I didn't stop Shao Dong and the others from saluting you. Even though you are dead, there is an incense offering. don't get mad..”.

Zhao Lan was still crying and begging for mercy on the ground, so she paid no attention to the others around her.

Zhao Lan was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid of ghosts. He believes in ghosts. Therefore, the day before and the anniversary of Bai Lu's death, he would always have nightmares and suffer from insomnia due to his guilty conscience. Tonight just so happened to be the second night he didn't sleep well. He's in a daze. Now that he had been frightened like this, the truth that had been hidden in his heart for several years, which he had never intended to tell anyone, was revealed just like that.

Even though Mu Jingzhe had been mentally prepared, his heart was still sinking when he heard Zhao Lan say that.

“So, I was right. You really killed mom. I remember her crying and begging you.”.

Shao Dong's voice finally made Zhao Lan, who was on the verge of running out of sense and was still begging for mercy, regain her senses.

He looked up in a daze and wiped his bruised forehead. He followed the voice and looked up. “Shao Dong? Why are you here?"

He's got a bad feeling. He raised his head in disbelief and saw the ghost slowly landing on the ground as a figure suddenly appeared beside him. It looked like Shao Nan and Xiao Wu.

"You ... You ..." Zhao Lan's mind exploded. “You're not a ghost. You're human. Who asked you to scare me? How dare you..”.

“If we don't scare you, how can we know the truth?”

Little Bei and Shao Xi walked out of the door behind Zhao Lan. The flashlight in their hands illuminated the dark room. Only then did Zhao Lan realize that the 'ghost' was Mu Jingzhe.

Not far behind Mu Jingzhe stood Shao Qihai, who was like a statue. Zhao Lan shuddered as she wondered how much she had heard.

Little Bei and Shao Xi walked towards Mu Jingzhe with a flashlight. Eldest Brother Shao and Eldest Brother-in-law Shao looked at Zhao Lan at the door with inexplicable fear in their eyes. Behind them were Fu, Lu, and Shou, who were rubbing their eyes in confusion.

Zhao Lan looked around and felt her mind explode.
