Xie Zhi followed the gaze and saw that Li Chunxiang was occasionally peeking out from behind the stone peak in front of them.
Why is Li Chunxiang here too?
What game are this family playing?
Lan Guangxue just wanted to get his money as soon as possible, and said to Lan Yin, "Yinzi, tell me, where did you bury the money? I'll start digging now. Sigh, I should have brought tools with me; it would have been faster to dig."
He thought that the work his daughter was talking about was digging up the money buried in the ground; otherwise, where could he put money on this mountain?
"Dad, we don't need any tools." Lan Yin pointed towards the edge of the cliff. "Go over and take a look; the money is in that hole down there."
"There's another hole here?"
"Yes, but many people don't know that we can go down into the cave by taking a side path. It's a bit dangerous, so I marked the entrance and put a large snake's shed skin there to scare away anyone who wants to go in."
Li Chunxiang left early to go to the vegetable market and buy this fake snakeskin as a prop to lure Lan Guangxue into a trap.
Lan Yin had been here with Jiang Yi before, so she was quite familiar with the place. There was indeed a cave below, which most people wouldn't dare to explore, but Jiang Yi liked adventure, so she and Jiang Yi had been to that cave.
But she didn't keep her money here; she brought Lan Guangxue here only to push him off the cliff.
"You're really amazing." Lan Guangxue couldn't help but admire his daughter's intelligence; she even came up with such a method.
"Jiang Yi brought me here before."
"What if he discovers the money?"
"Therefore, we need to relocate as soon as possible."
He immediately ran to the edge of the cliff, craned his neck to look down, and sure enough, he saw a large snake skin hanging at the entrance of the cave. All his doubts were dispelled, and he was certain that the money was there.
Suddenly, Li Chunxiang, who had been hiding behind a large rock, rushed out like an arrow.
Lan Guangxue felt the whooshing wind and turned around abruptly, only to see Li Chunxiang's hand already pushing towards him.
At that moment, his eyes widened, and before he could say a word, Li Chunxiang pushed him off the cliff.
The speed was so fast that Xie Zhi, who was hiding in the shadows, almost cried out in surprise. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, afraid that he would be discovered by the mother and daughter. His mission was not yet completed, and he could not die at the hands of this vicious mother and daughter.
This truly made Xie Zhi see the true colors of this mother and daughter. If they dared to do such a thing to their own relatives, what chance would they have against outsiders?
As the mother and daughter passed by Xie Zhi, Li Chunxiang spoke as casually as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. “Yinzi, things are better now. No one is bothering us anymore. Those who needed to be eliminated have been eliminated. If Xie Zhi hadn’t gone mad, we would have pushed him down in the same way. A madman won’t affect us much. Let him live his life in pain. From now on, my daughter and I will never have to live a hard life again.”
“There are still many people who need to be eliminated,” Lan Yin said coldly. “Xie Zhi cannot live. Even if I go crazy, I will get rid of him. And Su Xiaonuan and the people around her, I will get rid of them too. Otherwise, I will not be able to swallow this anger.”
"Su Xiaonuan's kung fu is so good, how can we get rid of her?"
"If you can't get rid of Su Xiaonuan, you can get rid of the people around her. Didn't you say Xie Zhi lives in that outbuilding?"
"Yes, that madman was in a separate outhouse in the hospital."
"Alright, we'll use this outbuilding and the madman as leverage. Once Su Xiaonuan's children enter that room, we'll set the outbuilding on fire and make them think the madman caused the fire by playing with fire and getting burned..."
The rest of the conversation became increasingly inaudible, but Xie Zhi had already collapsed to the ground.
The saying "the most poisonous heart is that of a woman" is absolutely true, and it couldn't be more fitting to describe Lan Yin and her daughter.
He's gone mad now, and she still won't let him go.
They even wanted to take the opportunity to burn Su Xiaonuan's child to death, and then make this madman take the blame. Their scheming is unmatched. Xie Zhi couldn't get up for a long time. If he hadn't come along today, this vicious mother and daughter would have killed many more people.
After Lan Yin and her daughter had gone far away, he slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the cliff again, and looked up. Good heavens, it was too high! He was so scared that he immediately pulled his head back and took a few steps back.
Just as he was dragging his trembling legs to move forward, a faint cry of "Help!" reached his ears. Thinking he had misheard, he stopped, strained his ears to listen, but heard nothing.
Thinking he was hallucinating, he was about to take a step when the faint cry for help came again. He didn't dare to put his foot down. This time, he heard it clearly; someone was indeed calling for help.
He looked around but found nothing.
Another cry for help came, and this time it was clear that it was coming from below the cliff. I thought to myself, could it be that Lan Guangxue is not dead?
He mustered his courage and walked towards the edge of the cliff. Looking down, he saw that Lan Guangxue was stuck in a large tree. The cave entrance wasn't far away. He carefully went around to the cave entrance, took off the long scarf he was wearing, and planned to use it to pull Lan Guangxue back from the tree branch.
"Xie Zhi, save me!" Lan Guangxue saw that it was Xie Zhi and saw his appearance. He immediately understood that the man was faking madness. Knowing that he could be saved, he shouted loudly. "I can help you. As long as you save me, I guarantee that you will get back all the property that belongs to you, and I will also help you find that batch of funds raised."
Now, Lan Guangxue no longer fantasizes about getting the 50,000 yuan promised by Lan Yin and her daughter. It was this few tens of thousands of yuan that almost cost him his life. He just wants to send this mother and daughter, who have caused him so much harm, to hell.
They were the ones who were unkind first, so don't blame him for being ungrateful.
"I really want to save you, but I only have this scarf, and I'm afraid it can't support your weight." Xie Zhi looked left and right, his gaze falling on the snakeskin. After examining it closely, he realized it wasn't a real snakeskin; it must have been a fake snakeskin he bought from one of those itinerant performers' stalls.
He reached out and took the fake snakeskin in his hand, pulled on both ends to test it, and found it to be very sturdy, even sturdier than his scarf. He immediately twisted the snakeskin and scarf into a rope, and then pulled some vines to reinforce it. He tied one end to the big tree at the entrance of the cave and threw the other end to Lan Guangxue, saying, "Then hold on tight, I'll pull you over."
"It's safer for you to go back into the cave." Lan Guangxue looked down at his feet, afraid that Xie Zhi would be scared and back down. Obese people are afraid of heights, so he told him to go back into the cave so that he wouldn't be afraid when he was pulled up.
Xie Zhi retreated into the cave, where the cave wall provided support, allowing him to pull with much greater force.
Lan Guangxue was pulled over by him, and the two lay on the ground for a while before hugging each other. The two grown men cried like children after surviving the ordeal.
They were both betrayed by two women, who were also the women closest to them, so they were determined to avenge themselves no matter what.
"Old Lan, what kind of ingrates have you raised?" Xie Zhi said smugly. "It's my two kids, my son and daughter, who are only a few years old. They know to save their father, even though they don't mind that I'm dirty and smelly. They go around begging people to save their bad father. You're the one who's miserable, raising such an ingrate daughter who's going to make your life miserable."
