TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 268: Just Wait to Die from Excessive Bleeding

The battered Shao Qihai was about to retire from the army because of this. In the end, he stayed. It was also because Zhao Lan was like this that she had no choice but to hand the children over to him.

At that moment, he knew that Zhao Lan and Bai Lu did not get along, but he did not expect Zhao Lan to actually intend to kill Bai Lu. Now that he thought about it, after he returned, the way the women looked at him was a little different. They seemed to be discussing something behind him.

However, before this discussion reached him, when he regained consciousness, they were already gone.

Now that he thought about it, perhaps they were talking about the difficult work and death of Zhao Lan and Bai Lu at that moment. However, Zhao Lan seemed to be taking care of the children later on, and since the Bai Family had gone overboard, no one said anything about Zhao Lan.

Shao Qihai did not expect Zhao Lan to intentionally do this. After seven years, he finally discovered the truth in an unexpected and laughable way.

He always felt that he had let Bai Lu down because he had died during a difficult delivery. However, he had not expected Zhao Lan to be involved. Zhao Lan, who had promised to look after Bai Lu, was actually the ringleader behind Bai Lu's death.

Shao Qihai only had one thought in his mind: Live to live. He wanted to kill Zhao Lan.

Mu Jingzhe, Shao Dong, and the others stood in the courtyard and stared at Shao Qihai, for a moment unable to react.

Seeing Zhao Lan suffer such a serious fall made them feel very happy. However, Shao Qihai's expression and reaction were completely unexpected. Zhao Lan had been in a very bad condition since the fall, but Shao Qihai had locked her away. It seemed like he really wanted to kill Zhao Lan.

Suddenly, neither Mu Jingzhe nor the five children knew what to say, just as they had not expected to reveal such truth at first.

Ever since Shao Qihai 'back from the dead' last time, they knew that Zhao Lan was quite afraid of ghosts. They also had a bond in their hearts, so they wanted to give it a try while Bai Lu's death anniversary was not over yet.

They quickly thought of a solution and even asked Mu Jingzhe for help with the role of Bai Lu. When Mu Jingzhe heard of their plan, he knew that they felt uncomfortable. He thought for a moment and finally agreed.

The five of them, along with Mu Jingzhe, had discussed it for a while before taking action.

They had been thinking about the ghosts on TV, who were basically dressed in white and had long hair. The white clothes were easy to come by, as Mu Jingzhe happened to have a white dress. But his hair is not long enough. In the end, she collected her hair randomly and created the effect of covering her face with long hair.

He also did not really float in the air. He had just stood on a tall wooden frame. With the wind blowing, and recalling that moment of night, it was hard to see his figure clearly. It's just a visual effect.

Shao Dong had thought of this method because he vaguely remembered that Bai Lu had also scratched the door before.

To lure Zhao Lan out, Shao Xi first sneaked in with Little Bei to scratch Zhao Lan's room door. They continued to scratch until Zhao Lan came out, and then they slipped into Zhao Lan's room.

Little Bei even improvised using his acting skills. She was not crowned as the youngest film queen for no reason. After learning a lot during this period of time, he was able to mimic ghosts quite well.

On a dark night, the effect is twice as effective. Even Zhao Lan was fooled. The one who scratched the door was Shao Dong. After the two sides worked together to lure Zhao Lan out, Mu Jingzhe took the position.

In fact, if one were to observe closely or not be bothered by feelings of guilt, they would soon find some loopholes. After all, her props and methods were not done very meticulously. Mu Jingzhe's acting skills were also average.

However, Zhao Lan had fallen in love with him. On this special day, because he was guilty and could not sleep well, he became afraid and admitted everything.

Meanwhile, Shao Qihai also felt their movements and followed them to see what they were doing. The scene he witnessed and the truth he heard had caught him off guard.

The sun rises very quickly. During the confrontation, and as Shao Qihai guarded the door and forbade Eldest Brother Shao and the others to call or open it, the sky quickly lit up.

At that moment, many people in the village came in groups of two or three after hearing the commotion. More and more people surrounded the Shao Residence. Everyone was discussing amongst themselves. No one expected Zhao Lan to do this terrible thing.

Everyone had the same thought about Zhao Lan—'s downfallit was retaliation. Serving it right.

However, if he fell to his death, that was all. It would be fine if no one found it. But now, they've all found it. Furthermore, Shao Qihai had locked her up and prevented her from going to the doctor or going to the hospital. It's a little different.

Everyone could understand Shao Qihai's actions, but it just so happened that Shao Qihai was Zhao Lan's son. It didn't seem right for Zhao Lan to die like this.

Everyone advised Shao Qihai, saying that the dead Bai Lu could not be resurrected. He couldn't let his hands be covered in Zhao Lan's blood either. If he were to really die like that, he would probably have to feel bad for the rest of his life.

“Let the village doctor bandage Zhao Lan first. We're not taking him to the hospital. We don't care what happens to him, okay?”

"No."

However, no matter how hard they tried to persuade him, Shao Qihai remained on guard at the door and refused to let anyone get close.

The villagers tried to attack, but they were repulsed by Shao Qihai. Given Shao Qihai's skills, the people in the village were not comparable to him. Of course, it was still possible for everyone to hit him with sticks together, but they could not do well.

Zhao Lan listened to everyone's voice and waited for them to successfully persuade her. He waited and waited until dawn, until he felt his pain grow more excruciating and unbearable. However, Shao Qihai was still unmoved. He was very angry and scared.

He's afraid of death.

“Qihai, I was wrong. I was completely wrong. I will be a vegetarian for the rest of my life to make up for my crimes against Bai Lu. I don't want to die. I beg of you, please let me go.”

Zhao Lan lay at the door, her head dizzy. He did not know if it was because he was spitting out too much blood, but his body felt cold. However, due to a waist injury, he was unable to get up, sleep, or move. He could only reach out to scratch the door and beg for mercy.

However, there was no commotion outside. Shao Qihai acted as if he had heard nothing.

“Shao Qihai, quick step aside. Listen to me, you're my son. If I really die, you won't be able to escape.”

“For what to escape? You say that I am your son, so I have the right to decide whether to take you to the hospital or not. I don't think the hospital can take care of you. Plus, I don't have the money to pay for your treatment, so I've decided not to take you there for a while. After all, it's not like I killed you with my own hands. I did not commit a crime. It's like you did to Bai Lu.”

Shao Qihai's words made Zhao Lan's expression change drastically. So he's waiting for her here. So this is his revenge.

“Shao Qihai, how can you do this to me? You ..." For the first time, Zhao Lan felt desperate. He experienced the despair Bai Lu felt back then.

At that moment, when he heard Bai Lu's cries and pleas for mercy, he felt comfortable and refreshed. Now, he felt very desperate.

Zhao Lan was afraid that she would really end up like Bai Lu. “Qihai, I beg of you. Let me out quickly. There are so many people watching you. Let me go quickly..”.

Shao Qihai was indifferent. Zhao Lan continued to cry and beg for mercy, and the people outside kept trying to persuade her, but it was in vain.
