Chapter 311: Mother Lu’s Terror Translator: Atlas Studios
Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Changhai still wanted to stop Lu Mo and his daughter, but at this mont, a staff mber ca in and urged Mrs. Lu, “Ti’s up for the visit. Madam, please leave.”
Mrs. Lu left Li Changhai reluctantly. When she and Lu Mo left, she vaguely heard Li Changhai’s desperate voice. “Don’t get married, don’t get married.”
After that hoarse roar, he suddenly beca mute.
Mother Lu felt as if her entire body had been frozen. She turned around slowly and saw Li Changhai’s hand resting under the bed. His head had been turned to the side and he was completely dead.
Li Changhai died just like that.
He had died under the tyranny of two condemned prisoners.
“Changhai,” Mother Lu shouted.
That night, because Lu Mo had to prepare for the wedding the next day, she went ho to rest first.
However, Mother Lu continued to stay in the hospital to deal with Li Changhai’s funeral.
In the middle of the night, Huo Xiaoran arrived.
When Mother Lu saw her son-in-law, it was as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. She grabbed Huo Xiaoran’s hand tightly and complained, “Xiaoran, you’re finally here. These public officials bullied Li Changhai because he was alone. When Li Changhai was being abused, they turned a blind eye. I want you to avenge Li Changhai. Xiaoran, you must avenge Li Changhai.”
Huo Xiaoran frowned unhappily. He handed Mrs. Lu a USB flash drive. “This is the evidence of Li Changhai’s abuse that I copied. Auntie, do you want to take a look with ?”
“Okay.” Mother Lu did not doubt him. She and Huo Xiaoran ca to an office.
He inserted the USB drive into the computer and opened the video file. Soon, a black-and-white surveillance screen appeared.
Li Changhai was forced into a corner by a burly man. The burly man punched and kicked him and even insulted him. “Li Changhai, you’re bullying a weak pregnant woman. You’re not a man. I despise you.”
Li Changhai curled up in the corner, unable to fight back. He could only kneel and beg for rcy. “Brother, let
go. I’m in prison. I’ve never killed anyone.”
“You’re still stubborn.” The man stepped on his chest and Li Changhai imdiately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Even a clay figurine had its temper. Li Changhai was beaten up badly, so he might as well go all out.
He pointed at the burly man and asked, “Who sent you to deal with ?”
“Guess.” The burly man squatted down and teased like a hunter playing with his prey. “Li Changhai, when you bullied the weak woman, did you ever think that one day, you would be like her and be slaughtered without any strength?”
“It’s Qiao An. Did she send you?”
“I can’t recall. But soone did pay good money to settle my family so that I, a condemned man, could be on my way without worry. So I have to do sothing to repay him before I die. He wants
to torture you slowly.”
“I understand. It’s Huo…” Just as Li Changhai was about to say Huo Xiaoran’s na, the suspended criminal suddenly pinched his mouth and cleanly tore off a piece of his tongue.
When Mother Lu saw this bloody scene, she was so frightened that she peed herself.
Huo Xiaoran looked at her and asked with a sinister smile, “What’s wrong, Auntie?”
Mother Lu looked at Huo Xiaoran with her terrified eyes. When she saw the undisguised mockery in his eyes, she suddenly ca to a realization.
“Xiaoran, it was you who hired this death row prisoner. Isn’t that right?”
Huo Xiaoran said calmly, “Auntie, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want.”
At this mont, Mrs. Lu was smart. When Huo Xiaoran saw her incontinence, there was no sympathy on his handso face, only endless mockery.
“It must be you. You abused Li Changhai like this because you wanted revenge for Qiao An.”
Huo Xiaoran stood up from the chair and walked to Mrs. Lu. He smiled at . “Auntie, do you have evidence?”
Mrs. Lu said with a dark expression, “Xiaoran, the heavens are watching. There is justice in the world.”
Huo Xiaoran smiled brightly. “Aren’t you talking about Li Changhai?”
Mrs. Lu was dumbfounded.
Huo Xiaoran retorted, “Auntie, Li Changhai was delirious before he died and has already started to distort the truth. Do you know that he even spread the news that he had an affair with Mrs. Lu? Auntie, can you take his words seriously?”
Mrs. Lu turned pale with fright.
If her embarrassing incident with Li Changhai was exposed, what would happen?
Not to ntion that Father Lu would not forgive her, if her position as Mrs. Lu was lost, Lu Mo’s identity as a daughter would be exposed. At that ti… would Huo Xiaoran still marry Lu Mo?
If Huo Xiaoran didn’t marry Lu Mo, the two of them would fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. How would they live then?
“Xiaoran, look at Li Changhai. He’s been beaten up so badly that he’s probably delirious. That’s why he’s saying so silly things. We can’t trust him.”
Huo Xiaoran nodded. “Auntie is right.”
Mother Lu secretly glanced at Huo Xiaoran and felt that he did not believe her nonsense.
However, Mrs. Lu did not dare to distinguish his sincerity, afraid that her pestering would ruin her daughter’s good marriage. No matter what, as long as Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo got married, even if Huo Xiaoran found out the truth in the end, as long as she took all the bla for Lu Mo, Huo Xiaoran would never mistreat her daughter.
Even if they got a divorce, their daughter would be able to get a share of the family assets. At that ti, it would be enough for them to squander for a few lifetis.
Huo Xiaoran did not have the ti to play such a mind ga with Mrs. Lu. After all, the main event was tomorrow. He stood up and said, “Auntie, tomorrow is the wedding day. I’ll go ho and rest first. You can keep this USB drive.”
With that, Huo Xiaoran left without looking back.
Mrs. Lu returned ho dejectedly.
The night was silent.
Qiao An and Xiao Ming were hiding in an old hotel. In the entire capital, only this area was dirty and ssy. Since the area was not managed well, they could stay in a hotel without ID.
Of course, the security here was poor.
Xiao Ming looked guiltily at Qiao An and the two children. “Qiao An,” he apologized, “I’m so useless. I have to let the three of you live in such a dirty place.”
Qiao An was tidying the room when she heard Xiao Ming’s self-reproach. She smiled and comforted him. “Isn’t it worse where you used to live?”
“It’s not safe. You and the kids need to stay safe.”
“Wherever you are is the safest place in the world,” Qiao An said.
“You have a sweet mouth.” Xiao Ming smiled.
Qiao An rolled her eyes. “I’m not flattering you. Think about it. If you can’t protect us, who can?”
Xiao Ming nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll protect you.”
The light of dawn penetrated the clouds and shot through the window screen. Qiao An lay in bed, but she was staring at the window. As she watched the sky brighten, she felt even more disappointed.
Soon, Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo would hold a wedding. She was really jealous of them.
