Shortly after Tong's mother left, Zhang Cheng received a call from his wife saying that his mother had been stabbed by Li Shuhui.
Before he could hear his wife's explanation, he quickly dropped what he was doing and ran back home, worried that something might happen to his family.
When Zhang Cheng saw the knife wound on his mother's leg, he was both angry and anxious. He immediately wanted to call the police, but Wang Fang refused to let him.
“Li Shuhui attacked you with a knife, and you still consider her your best friend? You must call the police.”
Wang Fang snatched Zhang Cheng's phone away: "No, you can't call the police, I won't call the police."
Seeing Wang Fang's insistence, Zhang Cheng had no choice but to compromise, saying helplessly:
"Let's go to the hospital to get your wound treated first. How can you just wrap it up like this? Let's go to the nearest Fourth Hospital."
Unexpectedly, Wang Fang shook her head even more frantically: "No, I won't go to the hospital, I won't go to the Fourth Hospital."
Zhang Cheng, bewildered, retorted angrily, "Tell me what happened!"
Wang Fang curled up on the bed, her whole body still trembling.
The person who usually jumps around and argues incessantly even when he is in the wrong is now unusually speechless.
The daughter-in-law walked in and sneered, "What's going on? She's feeling guilty. She did something immoral that killed someone, it would be strange if she dared to call the police."
"You're talking nonsense. It wasn't me who caused it. It wasn't me."
"Oh? Then why didn't you call the police when you were slashed by Aunt Shuhui, and why didn't you dare go to the Fourth Hospital? It's because Aunt Shuhui and Tong Qian were at the hospital."
Oh, by the way, I heard Hu Gang's body is also lying in the morgue of the Fourth Hospital. Do you dare to go there?
Upon hearing the word "corpse," Wang Fang's eyes widened in terror, and she screamed, "Shut up, shut up!"
Seeing his mother's reaction, Zhang Cheng felt his heart pound with fear.
He knows his mother too well; this reaction must have caused a huge problem.
"Nana, tell me quickly what happened? Why did Aunt Shuhui attack her? How did Hu Gang die? What does this have to do with Mom?"
"It's a huge deal. Because your mother is the culprit behind everything. She wanted to harm Tong Qian, but ended up killing Hu Gang."
Then, Nana quickly told Zhang Cheng everything, leaving him dumbfounded and his veins bulging.
He had always known that his mother had character flaws, but he thought it was just that she was greedy for small gains, spread rumors, and was vain.
I never imagined she could be so vicious, so audacious, so… she deserved it!
Zhang Cheng's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "How...how could you do such a vicious thing? Are you even human?"
Wang Fang cried, "I didn't do it on purpose! How was I supposed to know someone would die? That brat Tong Qian actually dared to kill someone!"
"I just couldn't stand how comfortable Li Shuhui was living, and I wanted to make her suffer. I didn't mean to kill anyone, so don't blame me, sob sob..."
Zhang Cheng angrily said, "I may not be capable, but I have tried my best to be filial to you. Why are you never satisfied? Why do you always have to compare yourself to others?"
"Tong Qian is someone you watched grow up, always calling you 'Auntie'. How could you be so heartless? You deserve it. Why didn't Aunt Shuhui kill you?"
Wang Fang was extremely aggrieved by her son's yelling and reached out to hit him.
"How could I have given birth to such an ungrateful wretch who betrays his family? Your mother is already like this, and you still yell at me. Why is my life so miserable?"
The daughter-in-law said speechlessly, "You'd better think about what to do next. Not to mention Aunt Shuhui, do you think Lao Hu will let you off the hook?"
Wang Fang grabbed Zhang Cheng: "Son, you have to save your mother. I know I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please save me. I'm scared."
Zhang Cheng shoved her away: "Now you're scared? Why weren't you scared when you were hurting people? If Lao Hu comes looking for you, you'd better watch out."
"You ungrateful wretch, you unfilial son, are you trying to kill your mother?!"
Amidst the chaos, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Wang Fang shuddered in fright: "No, don't open the door, it must be Lao Hu."
The knocking continued, and none of the three dared to open the door. Suddenly, the little girl's voice rang out from outside.
"Mom, Grandma, open the door quickly..."
Nana's heart clenched instantly: "It's Sisi, it's Sisi outside the door, open the door quickly."
Zhang Cheng ran to the door, opened the peephole, and looked out. His pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints.
His eldest daughter, Zhang Qianqian, was being led by an old man, while holding a candied hawthorn in her other hand.
The little girl had gone to find her friends to play with, but they said her grandma was a big bad person and wouldn't play with her, so she had to go back.
She met an old man on the street who called her name affectionately: "Are you Zhang Qianqian? Do you still remember Grandpa?"
Zhang Qianqian recognized him; he had danced with her grandmother before: "Hello, Grandpa Hu."
"Good girl, Grandpa Hu needs to see your grandma, but he doesn't know which house is yours. Can you show Grandpa the way? Grandpa will buy you candied hawthorns."
The little girl said sweetly, "Okay, I'll take Grandpa there."
Grandma has never liked her. If she helps Grandma with more things, Grandma might like her a little more.
This Grandpa Hu was naturally the old man who came to seek revenge on Wang Fang.
Actually, the person he really wanted to kill was Tong Qian; it was Li Shuhui and Wang Fang he truly wanted to kill.
However, he learned that Tong Qian and her daughter were both in the hospital, with doctors and nurses coming and going, and police guarding the place, so his chances of succeeding were very slim.
So they turned their attention to Wang Fang.
If Wang Fang hadn't introduced that slut to his son, Gangzi wouldn't have died. Killing her wouldn't have been unjust at all.
He planned to kill Wang Fang quickly first, and then hide to find an opportunity to attack Tong Qian and her daughter.
Qi An followed the two slowly, watching the little girl, who was strong through filial piety, lead Old Hu all the way to his doorstep.
Old Hu looked at the little girl, a hint of murderous intent flashing across his old face. He hesitated for a moment, then gave up.
Forget it, let's not bother with the child.
Besides, Wang Fang didn't like this girl, so she wouldn't be saddened by her death.
Qi An snorted coldly and slowly withdrew his hand.
"It's good that you still have some humanity, old man, otherwise I would have sent you to reunite with your dead son right away."
Wang Fang pushed her son aside to peek through the peephole, and was so frightened that she backed away, almost falling over.
"It's Lao Hu, don't open the door, absolutely don't open the door."
Zhang Cheng angrily retorted, "My daughter is still outside."
The daughter-in-law, Nana, turned ashen-faced and immediately took out her phone to call the police.
Wang Fang held onto Zhang Cheng tightly, so frightened that she blurted out whatever came to mind.
"Don't open the door. She's not my grandson, just a little girl. Old Hu might not even lay a hand on her. Let's wait for the police."
Enraged, Zhang Cheng shoved her away, saying, "Are you even human? That's your granddaughter. Even if the police come, she's a hostage and in danger at any moment."
Nana darted over and was about to open the door.
Wang Fang reacted quickly and grabbed her hand: "Don't open it, are you trying to kill me?"
Nana was furious and slapped Wang Fang hard across the face.
“That’s my daughter. Even if I die today, I’ll open the door. Your worthless life isn’t even worth a single hair on my daughter’s head.”
After saying that, Nana pushed Wang Fang aside, turned the lock, and pulled the door open.
