Hundred Ways To Save Cannon Fodder Mom [Quick Transmigration Arc 4] Chapter 69: The Mother of a Son-Favoring Family (13)

He Shenglan didn’t know how to describe her feelings at that moment. She thought that person would have the police take away the person who hurt her, but in reality, she didn’t.

After lying in bed for half a day, she got out of bed to take care of He Haojing, who had just woken up from a coma.

Upon receiving the news, He Shenglan was momentarily confused. What kind of magic could make her so willing to stay by He Jiang’s side without complaint? She felt very fortunate that she had been raised by her hot-tempered and fierce older sister and had not been directly brainwashed by that person.

I’d go crazy if I became like that!

The little girl shook her hand, trying to get her mother’s attention.

“What’s wrong?”

He Shenglan was awakened by the arc of her arm swinging, snapping out of her thoughts. She looked down at her daughter and asked in confusion.

“Someone’s calling!” the little one reminded her.

He Shenglan then noticed that his phone, which was on the coffee table, was buzzing.

With her eyes fixed on the name on the caller ID on her phone, He Shenglan considered ignoring the call, but then she remembered her mother who was still in the hospital, and finally picked up the phone.

If she hadn’t answered the call, He Shenglan could imagine that He Jiang, enraged and feeling his scheme exposed, would have taken his anger out on Mother He immediately. She truly had no feelings for her, but He Shenglan never owed anyone favors, and Mother He’s call to warn her had indeed helped her.

He Shenglan analyzed herself and concluded that, ultimately, she was just soft-hearted and didn’t want to see her mother be beaten again because she didn’t answer the phone.

“What are you calling me about?”

On the other end of the phone, He Jiang glared at his wife, who looked perfectly normal, sitting on the edge of the bed, and said angrily, “He Shenglan, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. I’ll be waiting for you at Hengxin Manor tomorrow night at seven. It’s time for us to settle things. Remember to bring your adopted daughter.”

Upon hearing He Jiang’s invitation, He Shenglan knew in her heart that this was undoubtedly a trap, but she had no idea what He Jiang was planning.

That person would call specifically to inform her, which most likely isn’t for money; in that person’s eyes, her money rightfully belongs to them. So… if it’s not for money, then it can only mean they want to kill her!

He even tried to harm two people at once.

He Shenglan frowned, not because she felt sad—it was expected that they would kill her—but because she wondered if He Jiang wasn’t afraid that someone would find out they died at his hands, and that all their efforts would be in vain.

“Have you thought this through yet? If you don’t come, I’ll make your mom roll down the stairs again and see if she’s lucky this time!”

He Jiang knew He Shenglan’s temperament well; she would definitely keep the appointment, after all, no matter what, she was still her mother, wasn’t she?

As he expected, He Shenglan hesitated for a moment before accepting his invitation.

After hanging up the phone, He Shenglan dialed the number of the private investigator who had been following Yang Yue’s family, asking him to make a list of all the people Yang’s parents had been in contact with in the past few days, including whether they had booked a private event at Hengxin Villa.

She suspected that the two companies were up to something.

As He Shenglan had expected, there was a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe with the Yang family, and the Yang family had also booked the entire Hengxin Manor.

He Haojing fell seriously ill and was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment; this was a backlash from the female ghost. Yang Yue should have been in the same situation, but unlike He Haojing, Yang Yue’s family did not send him to the hospital.

No matter how skilled the family doctor is, they can’t cure this kind of “illness.” The Yang family, who love their son dearly, would never allow Yang Yue to stay at home for treatment.

Unless they have a highly skilled person her their daughter by their side who can see through the cause and effect and has a way to alleviate Yang Yue’s symptoms.

However, this only alleviates the symptoms, not eliminates them completely; otherwise, the twin female ghosts would have been in danger long ago.

Perhaps, by inviting her to Hengxin Villa this time, he is doing something heinous.

Tiantian’s fortune-telling doesn’t count either for herself, nor can it predict the fate of people whose destinies are intertwined; coincidentally, she has one of those fates.

Therefore, He Shenglan never thought of asking Tian Tian; it’s always best to rely on yourself for everything.

Thinking about the police investigating the deaths of the twin female ghosts, He Shenglan picked up the phone and made a call.

Since that’s the case, let’s all have a good time together.

Only then will their trap be fulfilled.

…

Dressed in a clean and crisp black tracksuit and matching shoes, He Shenglan’s skin seemed to glow under the evening sunset, her unadorned face radiating sunshine and vitality. She had deliberately changed into comfortable athletic clothing to better counter any traps set by her opponents.

Zizi was wearing matching family outfits for the first time since entering this world, and looked around with great curiosity, finding it all very novel.

Just to be on the safe side, the police assigned a young male officer to protect the girl, because no one could afford to take responsibility if something happened.

He Shenglan turned her head and glanced at the confident young policeman. Her gaze fell on Tian Tian’s bunny bag. She had tried one of the dozens of talismans that Tian Tian had made overnight yesterday, and wow… its power was astonishing.

He Shenglan put her hand into her pocket, where there were three talismans. It wasn’t that Tian Tian was stingy with her; rather, Tian Tian, out of love for her mother, knew that she wasn’t very good at using these things, so she only put a few defensive talismans in her pocket so that they wouldn’t hurt her.

He Shenglan didn’t know how a child of such a young age could know so much, but she chose not to ask and pretended not to know because she trusted her and believed that she wouldn’t hurt her or the people around her.

This trust is deeply rooted in her heart and unshakable.

Driven by the police, the three quickly arrived at Hengxin Villa, the place they had agreed to meet with He Jiang.

After instructing the child to take good care of herself, He Shenglan led the clever little girl out of the car.

Before He Shenglan could say anything, He Jiang, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly stepped forward and eagerly grabbed He Shenglan, as if afraid that she would run away.

Standing to the side, pale-faced and hunched over, Mother He looked up at He Shenglan, who had arrived on time for the appointment. Her expression turned even more unpleasant. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not reveal He Jiang’s conspiracy.

Her daughter was important, but her son was even more important. Seeing her son lying weakly in the hospital bed, He’s mother felt heartbroken.

I hope that in her next life, He Shenglan won’t be a woman again; being a woman is too painful.

The reminder she gave yesterday was the greatest help she could offer He Shenglan.

Seeing that Mother He looked constipated, the little girl made a face at her. She would protect her own mother and didn’t want her to pretend.

He Shenglan also noticed the hesitation on her mother’s face, but naturally ignored her. From the moment her mother agreed to attend the banquet, there was nothing left between them.

To her now, Mother He is a complete stranger.

A demon in human skin who wanted to harm her.

“You look even younger than I did in just a few days! I’m so glad you could come!”

He Jiang glared at his wife, telling her not to push her luck. After doing all this, he naturally moved to block his wife’s view and said very kindly.

He Shenglan withdrew her gaze, pulled Tiantian to the other side, and kept her away from He Jiang. She didn’t want this kind of person to pollute her daughter’s vision.

After doing all this, He Shenglan said coldly, “Get to the point. I’m very busy.”

Upon hearing He Shenglan’s words, He Jiang was instantly enraged by her arrogant attitude. His old face, as white as an orange peel, twitched several times before he could barely control his temper. Feeling extremely aggrieved, he told He Shenglan to come into the villa first.

“Oh……”

Having witnessed He Jiang’s complete control over his expression, He Shenglan sneered and led the little one into the villa.

Step into Hengxin Mountain Villa.

At first glance, you can see the lake surface rippling with layers of water mist.

As night falls, Hengxin Villa, built along the lake, is adorned with colorful lights, resembling a fairyland. Unfortunately, the brightly lit Hengxin Villa is destined to experience many twists and turns tonight.

He Shenglan pretended not to know that Hengxin Villa had been booked out, and even said to He Jiang that the scenery was so beautiful, but she didn’t see many people.

To lower their guard.

He Shenglan was led to the private room, and she looked completely unguarded, making He Jiang hesitant to ask the man following her to leave, for fear of arousing He Shenglan’s suspicion.

The moment she stepped into the private room, the situation inside changed instantly.

He Shenglan looked at the Yang family members who had been waiting in the private room for a long time, raised an eyebrow, and looked at He Jiang with a puzzled expression.

Seeing the fish caught in the net, He Jiang stopped pretending to be a loving old father and went directly to the Taoist priest, looking at him earnestly.

Master Changshan stroked his white beard, looked at He Shenglan and Zizi in front of him, and revealed a satisfied smile.

“Can!”

Changshan’s words instantly relaxed the tense expressions of the Yang family members, Mr. and Mrs. He, who were sitting in the room. If things didn’t work out, they really didn’t know where to find two living people to perform the ritual.

Father Yang, Zhao Ying, had already learned about He Jiang’s choice during the day, so he wasn’t particularly surprised when he met He Shenglan.

They’ve even come up with the idea of taking over Fuyun Jewelry once He Shenglan as a substitute dies—a perfect deal for them, killing two birds with one stone.

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

He Shenglan asked, feigning some panic.

Seeing that He Shenglan was about to die, He Jiang decided not to hide it from her anymore and directly told her about their plan to have the mother and daughter take her place.

His face was full of undisguised malice.

He Shenglan felt a chill run down her spine. Although she had guessed a little, she still didn’t expect He Jiang to be so ruthless.

Thinking of the police behind her , He Shenglan calmed down and suddenly asked, “I’m very curious, why did Yang Yue and He Haojing turn out like that?”

Zhao Ying shook her head at He Jiang, “There are other people here, let’s not talk about this.”

Thinking of the wealth that was within his grasp, He Jiang’s ego had already swelled, and he proudly recounted the whole story.

It turned out that Yang Yue and He Haojing had captured the twins, intending to play a game of imprisonment with them and then release them. However, they underestimated the twins’ resistance, especially since the two sisters scratched Yang Yue during their desperate struggle.

Enraged, Yang Yue strangled the younger twin to death. Realizing the enormity of his mistake, instead of calling the police, Yang Yue ordered He Haojing, who witnessed the incident, to kill the older twin.

To avoid being discovered, the two hid the twins’ bodies under the flower bed in the villa and then covered them with stones.

To make it more discreet and avoid being discovered, the two even took it upon themselves to spend several days filling the flower bed with soil and planting lawn.

What followed was a series of events that occurred after the twin female ghosts exacted revenge on the two of them.

Zhao Ying looked at the smug He Jiang and waited anxiously for him to finish speaking. When she saw that he had finally finished his incessant chatter and made He Shenglan the innocent victim, she immediately stood up and told Daoist Changshan to take action.

Upon hearing this, Master Changshan stood up, threw out several talismans, and began to set up an array.

Soon, faint light rose from several corners of the room.

The young policeman was stunned, but despite being extremely frightened, he still stood firmly in front of He Shenglan and protected them.

He Shenglan didn’t say much and stood next to the police.

“Protect the child and get out of here quickly! This Taoist priest is very strange!”

When the police saw that He Shenglan didn’t run away but instead stood next to him, they anxiously urged them to leave quickly.

“Too late!” The Taoist priest waved his whisk and said with a ruthless expression.

He Shenglan reached into his bag, took out two amulets, and handed them to the policeman.

“Put it away properly, this trash won’t hurt you!”

The policeman was stunned. He looked down at the yellow paper in his hand, which was flashing with a yellow light and was obviously warding off something. He felt that his materialism had come to an end. He clenched the talisman in his hand, picked up the walkie-talkie, and prepared to contact his brothers outside.

“Don’t waste your time. The formation blocks the signal. Unless you find the core of the formation, you’re just waiting to die! Just obediently take your lives!”

Changshan boasted with great pride.

Inside the room, all eyes were fixed on the three people inside the formation, waiting for their deaths.

The little one lowered her head, walked to a paving stone, and kicked the invisible array eye on the paving stone with her little foot. Instantly, the array, which had not yet had time to draw life force, disappeared.

Everyone: …

Master Changshan was the first to react, shouting that it was impossible, and rushed forward to grab Zizi.

How could He Shenglan allow him to hurt her daughter? She picked up a wooden stool from the private room and smashed it down.

A muffled groan was heard, and the Taoist priest who was about to grab Zizi was slapped to the ground by a chair.

Just as they were about to make their move, the others stopped in their tracks, looking at the fierce He Shenglan with apprehension.

Seeing that the Taoist priest Changshan was unable to move, Zizi put away the Five Thunder Talisman in her hand. But this did not mean that Zizi let him go. Zizi changed to a sealing talisman and, taking advantage of everyone’s attention being on her mother, quietly used it on the Taoist priest Changshan.

At the same time, the little one also used unlucky charms, money-touch-and-be-struck-by-lightning charms, and truth-telling charms on the Taoist priest…

He Shenglan didn’t throw away the solid wood chair that was about to fall apart; instead, she took two threatening steps forward.

The police officer was taken aback by this series of developments, but he quickly regained his composure, picked up the walkie-talkie, and began calling his teammates.
