Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhao Baotian’s legs were shaking. They gave way, and he slumped down onto the ground. He stared at “Zhao Baolin” before him with a look of terror on his face.
“Don’t co closer, don’t co closer…” Zhao Baotian kept repeating. He wanted to retreat with all his might but couldn’t draw any strength to move.
“Why were you so cruel as to kill ? Third Bro, I treated you so well.” “I am so cold and lonely down here. Co and accompany , won’t you?
“I am so cold. Third Bro, can you warm ?
Zhao Baotian felt sothing cold and slippery wrap around his ankle.
He wanted to scream for help as his eyes popped wide open, but it was as though sothing was caught in his throat. He could not utter a sound at all.
Big Bro had returned.
Big Bro had co to settle the score with him!
He was going to die today.
His mind went blank, save for the thought of Zhao Baolin returning to seek revenge.
“Zhao Baolin” floated over towards him, slowly approaching him.
Zhao Baotian felt all the blood in his body surge to his brain. His limbs went cold, and he could not stop shivering.
Just as Xie Heng ca up to him, Zhao Baotian could no longer withstand it. His eyes rolled back as he fainted.
Xie Heng was speechless.
He kicked Zhao Baotian.
The latter remained motionless.
Zhao Chuchu appeared. With a look of disdain, she pinched her nose, squatted down, and checked to see whether Zhao Baotian was still breathing.
He was. He had rely fainted.
Zhao Chuchu took out a blood bag used in acting in her previous life from her carry-on space. She poured blood all over Zhao Baotian’s body. She then fed him a pill that would cause his small intestine excruciating pain every hour.
“Throw him in front of the Zhao residence,” Zhao Chuchu told Xie Heng. “Let us go scare the other mbers of the Zhao clan. We need to let the village know that the dead have returned.”
Xie Heng nodded his head and carried Zhao Baotian to the Zhao residence.
Then, Zhao Chuchu took out a loudspeaker that could record audio and recorded this line, “I died miserably. Dad, Mom, avenge !”
Zhao Chuchu hid the loudspeaker in an osmanthus tree outside the Zhao residence.
She changed into a set of white clothing and wore white contacts. She stood outside Zhao Baotian’s house and rhythmically knocked on the door.
Madam Liu thought that Zhao Baotian had returned and rushed to open the door.
Under the moonlight, her gaze t a pair of white eyes.
Madam Liu scread. Her cries reverberated throughout the entire Lengshui Village.
Old Man Zhao and Madam Yang were also awakened.
‘Ghost!”
Madam Liu shrieked again.
Madam Yang ca to investigate as she cursed, “You mad woman. Why on earth are you screaming about ghosts in the middle of the night? I should ask
Baotian to beat you to death!”
Zhao Chuchu “flew” over to Madam Yang as she opened the door.
Madam Yang did not manage to react imdiately. She thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.
“Mom!” wailed Zhao Chuchu faintly.
Madam Yang suddenly jerked, finally making out what was standing in front of her!
It was a ghost floating in the air with disheveled hair and no pupils! Her eyes opened wide in fear as she stuttered, “Gho… ghost?,”
“Mom, I died miserably.”
“Mom, it is cold down there.”
“Mom, I want to see Chuchu. Where has Chuchu disappeared to?”
Madam Yang was so scared that she tripped over herself as she crawled back into the house, screaming, “There is a ghost! There is a ghost!”
Madam Yang and Madam Liu had voices that were sharp and shrill. When both of them scread like this, the whole village was startled awake.
The mbers of the Zhao clan closest to them quickly lit torches and ca over to check on them.
While Madam Yang was scared out of her wits, Zhao Chuchu applied blood to her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
When the others ca rushing over to check on them, a female ghost with blood flowing out of her orifices was floating inside the Zhao residence.
The line from the loudspeaker kept repeating. It sounded as though it was coming from all directions.
Such a scene, in addition to the cold wind blowing, made the others subconsciously believe that Zhao Chuchu’s mother had returned. They were all shocked pale. Their strength seed to be sucked from their bodies, and they could not run even if they wanted to.
Right then, they saw Zhao Baotian lying in a pool of blood at the entrance. They were certain that this female ghost was truly Xia Chenglan.
When the other villagers ca and saw this scene, not only did Zhao Chuchu not run, she even floated around the courtyard and chanted the line along with the loudspeaker. She successfully created the atmosphere of the appearance of a ghost.
Even Niu Tongsheng was terrified.
‘Quickly catch her. She is a vengeful ghost,” shouted Madam Yang in a trembling voice.
Once she finished, Zhao Chuchu suddenly appeared before her with a swooshing sound.
Madam Yang’s vision turned dark, and she imdiately lost consciousness.
“Are you Chenglan?” asked Niu Tongsheng after mustering his courage.
Zhao Chuchu ignored him and kept flying around Madam Liu.
Madam Liu wanted to faint but couldn’t. Such painful torture was tearing apart her ntal defenses.
“It has nothing to do with . Zhao Baotian was the one who murdered both of you. There is no hatred without cause. I did not do anything. Sis, if you want to kill soone, kill Zhao Baotian. I did not do anything. Please spare .” Once she said this, all the villagers present were stunned.
Madam Liu continued, “Everything was Zhao Baotian’s doing. I am innocent. Sis, won’t you seek revenge against those who actually murdered you? I really do not know anything.”
Niu Tongsheng drew in a cold breath. What had he just heard?
At the sa ti, a rooster suddenly crowed.
In the eyes of the spectators, the female ghost seed to have t its nesis and fled frantically. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from sight.
Niu Tongsheng had not even managed to react.
After leaving, Zhao Chuchu did not go far. Instead, she and Xie Heng changed back into their original attire as fast as they could. They then appeared in front of the Zhao residence as though they had rushed over to check on the commotion.
“What happened?” asked Zhao Chuchu with a curious look on her face. “Da
Lang and I had just got ho when we heard the commotion.”
As for Madam Liu, right then, she did not know that the female ghost had already disappeared. She was still kowtowing non-stop and begging, “Sis, it was Zhao Baotian who poisoned you and Bro. I only ca to know of this afterward. It truly has nothing to do with . Mom was the one who married off Chuchu to Xie Heng. I did not do anything. Please don’t harm .”
Zhao Chuchu’s eyes widened, and she looked shocked as she said, “What is she saying?
“Chuchu, calm down,” said Xie Heng as he grabbed her hand.
“She said that Zhao Baotian poisoned my parents. I did not mishear her, did I?”
“I also heard her say that.”
“Why would she utter such things out of the blue?”
When Niu Tongsheng heard this, he quickly said, “Chuchu, please wait.”
“No, I cannot wait!” said Zhao Chuchu. She quickly stepped forward and pulled Madam Liu up from the ground. She interrogated the latter. “What did you say? Say it again.”
Madam Liu was scared out of her wits by the female ghost. Even now, as she looked at Zhao Chuchu, she had yet to regain her composure. She thought that she was still seeing the female ghost.
She scread again in terror, “Sis, it really wasn’t who murdered you and Bro. It was Zhao Baotian. Oh, right, he still has the poison with him. He was planning to poison Changrong and Chen Dashan and fra you for killing them by performing a blood transfusion. The poison is on his person. You will definitely be able to find it on him now!”
