Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs Chapter 104 - He Really Died Later

Chapter 104: He Really Died Later

Ji Buwang frowned as he watched him run away. Even though he didn’t have any impression of a person with this hairstyle and voice, for so reason, he felt that this man wasn’t pleasing to the eye. It was as if he had seen him sowhere before, and it didn’t feel good.

However, as a gust of wind blew, Ji Buwang didn’t think much about it.

“Let’s hurry back.”

Although the weather was warm, they were drenched. It would be better for them to change clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold.

The wound on Mu Jingzhe’s leg also had to be treated.

anwhile, Shao Qihai and Jiang Feng t up.

As soon as Jiang Feng saw Shao Qihai, he apologized. “Brother Hai, I’m sorry. I didn’t follow him closely and let him run away and cause all this trouble.”

“It’s not your fault. You are alone, so how can you take care of everything?” Shao Qihai shook his head. “How’s it going?”

“Brother Hai, our guess was right. The thing we lost was hidden at the bottom of the lake by them. Old Fish ca to get the goods.”

At this point, Jiang Feng’s face was filled with rage, but his eyes couldn’t help but sparkle. “I didn’t expect him to hold soone hostage when I wasn’t paying attention. Bet he didn’t expect to et such a tough nut this ti.

“Old Fish is not easy to deal with in the water. We have to be extrely vigilant. I didn’t expect sothing like this to happen this ti. Brother Hai, I didn’t dare go near them. Who are they?”

Shao Qihai: “…”

That was his son and wife.

Jiang Feng had gone to inquire about Shao Qihai’s family, but he hadn’t seen them in person, so he didn’t know Mu Jingzhe or Shao Xi.

When Shao Qihai heard Jiang Feng’s words, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. After this lingering fear, an indescribable feeling filled his heart.

This Old Fish was extrely cunning. Once he entered the water, he’d disappear without a trace. He was also vicious and rciless. He and Jiang Feng had joined forces and lost him twice. They didn’t dare be careless when dealing with him. To think Old Fish had ultimately ended up falling into Mu Jingzhe’s hands?

One had to know that when he’d swum over earlier, he had been filled with despair, as he had thought that Mu Jingzhe and Shao Xi had fallen.

In the end, not only had Mu Jingzhe snatched Shao Xi back, but she’d even made Old Fish suffer. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a lie.

However, this was reality. Old Fish probably hadn’t expected to fail so easily and fall at the hands of Mu Jingzhe, who couldn’t even swim very well.

Thus, one shouldn’t think that a child is necessarily easy to control. If you touch the child, there’s a mother who doesn’t care about her life behind it.

Shao Qihai had a complicated look in his eyes. Jiang Feng could also tell that sothing was wrong with him.

“What’s wrong, Brother Hai?”

Shao Qihai wanted to say sothing but hesitated. Then, he shook his head. “Nothing.”

Actually, it was sothing, but he didn’t know how to tell Jiang Feng.

But what could he say? The formidable person he was talking about was actually his sister-in-law? Or that Ji Buwang was following his sister-in-law around for so unknown reason? Or that it seed like he wanted to steal his woman?

Jiang Feng had always been nervous for him, and he would explode if he heard that.

Shao Qihai thought about all kinds of things until he saw the knife in Jiang Feng’s hands.

“Brother Hai, look. This is the knife that Old Fish brought along.”

Shao Qihai took the knife and, as he looked at the icy light on it, for so reason, he suddenly shivered, feeling very uncomfortable.

There was an inexplicable pain in his chest, as if the knife had pierced his heart.

At that mont, Shao Qihai realized that if it wasn’t for the accident with Mu Jingzhe, Old Fish would have taken another child hostage, and Shao Qihai would have been killed by this very knife while trying to save the hostage. Stabbed in the heart and killed with one strike.

In the book, he really had died without getting a chance to go back.

Furthermore, he had faked his death previously. In combination with the fact that the situation was rather special, he had clearly acted bravely to save soone, but in the end, no one knew about it and this matter couldn’t be publicized.

Shao Qihai didn’t know that he had walked through the gates of hell, but he sensed sothing and felt lingering fear. He pounded his chest to ease his breathing and put away the knife.

“It’s about ti to reel in the net. I have to speed up.”

Shao Qihai attributed his palpitations to Mu Jingzhe being implicated today.

He was afraid that Mu Jingzhe and the kids would also be implicated if he didn’t reel in the net. After all, it was because of Mu Jingzhe that Old Fish had been captured.

Old Fish and the gang behind him were all desperate criminals who specialized in smuggling and other profiteering industries. In the past, Shao Qihai had opened a transportation company and accidentally gotten involved.

People died for wealth. There were too many things that were at play. If even Mu Jingzhe and Shao Xi were targeted, then what was the point of enduring this for so long? He had to ensure their safety.

When Shao Qihai thought of this, he felt sowhat troubled. He wondered if he should take care of their safety first and protect them in secret.

Mu Jingzhe was unaware of all this. After returning to the guesthouse and changing her clothes, she rested for a mont before embarking on the trip back ho.

This had been such an eventful trip that it would be better for her to go back early. Her family would be worried.

On the way back, Mu Jingzhe felt that Shao Xi was behaving a little strangely. “Little Xi, are you feeling unwell?”

Shao Xi shook his head. Mu Jingzhe touched his forehead and saw that his temperature was normal. She held his hand and said, “Don’t be afraid, Little Xi. It’s all in the past.”

Shao Xi forced a smile and slowly broke free from Mu Jingzhe’s grip before closing his eyes.

Mu Jingzhe looked at her empty hand and asked, “Little Xi, didn’t you love to hold my hand and follow around like a little tail? Why did you suddenly stop?”

Shao Xi froze. “I want to sleep.”

Mu Jingzhe wanted to say sothing but hesitated. Just last night, he had insisted on holding her hand before he would fall asleep.

However, seeing that Shao Xi didn’t look so good, Mu Jingzhe didn’t ask any more questions. She draped a shirt over him and said, “Go to sleep then. I’ll wake you up when we get there.”

Shao Xi responded softly and resisted the urge to pull Mu Jingzhe’s hand and hug her.

He was still feeling lingering fear. In his attempt to create happy mories, he had nearly killed Mu Jingzhe.

This was probably the most ridiculous thing.

After this lingering fear, Shao Xi couldn’t help but think that he had been through so many things in just a few days.

First, Chubby Boy. Then, being held hostage. Every ti, he’d startled his mother and even implicated her. Shao Xi knew that Mu Jingzhe had also been frightened, not to ntion that she had almost lost her life later on.

Shao Xi had a feeling that he was really unlucky. He was so unlucky that it seed like he was possessed by a god of misfortune. No matter where he went, he would always encounter misfortune and co across danger.

More importantly, he would implicate others. Mommy had been implicated because of him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have encountered this situation.

Upon careful thought, he realized Mu Jingzhe had encountered quite a bit of trouble recently, and it had been more or less related to him and his siblings. Ultimately, Mu Jingzhe had only been through all this after becoming their mother.

In the past, he had heard a lot of people in the village talk about how tough their birth characters were, which was why they’d jinxed their mother and then their father, causing their deaths. He didn’t want to believe it in the past, especially when he’d learned that Shao Qihai wasn’t dead yet.

Now, though, he suddenly believed that perhaps their lives, especially his, were really wretched. Otherwise, why would they experience so many unlucky incidents?

Shao Qihai had probably abandoned them because he was afraid of being implicated. Even Shao Qihai, their biological father, had run away, and only Mu Jingzhe was still foolishly raising them, although she wasn’t even related to them by blood.

The intensity of his wish for Mu Jingzhe to return to them back then rivaled the intensity of his worry right now. He couldn’t help but think that they should stay away from Mommy in the future so that she wouldn’t suffer any misfortunes because of them.

He really didn’t want to implicate Mommy anymore. He was lucky he had escaped today, but what about next ti?

He couldn’t guarantee that he would be lucky every ti, so staying away from Mommy was the best thing for her, right?
