Chapter 320 Conspiracy
When Jiang Ranxing arrived at the old house, she didn't see the old housekeeper at the door. Instead, an unfamiliar bodyguard came forward and opened the car door for her.
"Where's the housekeeper? Why are you here?"
The bodyguard said, "The butler is taking care of the master at the old mansion, so he sent me here."
The reason was perfectly plausible, so Jiang Ranxing didn't think twice and handed the car keys to the bodyguard.
When Jiang Ranxing stepped into the main hall of the old house, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong; it was as if it was just her intuition acting up.
The sound of high heels clashing against the marble seemed to possess a quiet yet eerie quality.
"Where is the housekeeper? And where is Grandpa?"
Jiang Ranxing asked, but as she turned around, a towel with an unpleasant smell was smothered around her face, and then she was plunged into darkness.
A strong sense of panic rose from the bottom of her heart, and in a daze, her consciousness seemed to be crying for help.
When she opened her eyes again, before the light returned, she felt bound and realized that her hands and feet were tied.
"You're finally awake! Are you really that conscious?"
"Lin Xuesha...how did you get here? How did you..."
When she saw Lin Xuesha, she witnessed an even more terrifying scene.
Grandpa Fu sat blankly in a chair some distance away, while Fu Hongkai was pinching Grandpa Fu's fingers, pressing them onto the inkpad, and then pressing them onto the lower right corner of some documents.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Ranxing frowned deeply, still struggling. "Grandpa! Grandpa, wake up!"
"Stop calling him, Jiang Ranxing. No matter how you call him now, Grandpa won't wake up. He's already brain dead."
Jiang Ranxing couldn't believe it: "Brain death?"
Lin Xuesha covered her mouth, feigning surprise: "What, you don't know? I thought you would know. Wasn't Grandpa's death all your fault?"
Jiang Ranxing immediately understood what was happening and struggled with both hands and feet.
"Lin Xuesha! Fu Hongkai! You can't do this! You're killing people!"
Fu Hongkai merely glanced at him coldly, said nothing, and continued with what he was doing.
Lin Xuesha looked at Jiang Ranxing with a leisurely air, as if she were teasing a small, weak animal in the circus, completely unconcerned about its life or death.
"Do you know? I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Do you think Shen Yuan would still love you the same way if he knew that you were the one who killed his beloved grandfather? Would he hate you?"
Jiang Ranxing narrowed her eyes: "What are you talking about? Don't you love Shen Yuan? Your love is what killed his family?"
Lin Xuesha seemed completely unconcerned: "I don't understand what you're saying. You were the one who started it, how can you blame me!"
Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered at Jiang Ranxing's hands in the past, Lin Xuesha felt even more determined to destroy her with her own hands.
"Jiang Ranxing! Stop pretending to be a good person! What kind of good person do you think you are? Shen Yuan was already mine, but you! You're still haunting me even after we divorced. Today is the day to send you back to your own world. Shen Yuan's love doesn't belong to you, so don't even think about it."
“I never intended to get involved in your affairs. You should say these things to Fu Shenyuan, not to me.”
Lin Xuesha stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Ranxing's chin hard, saying viciously, "You should have died with Grandpa! That way I wouldn't have any worries, and Shen Yuan would come back to me."
Immediately, Lin Xuesha seemed to disgustedly shake off his hand.
"What a pity. I wanted to see something even more exciting. Rather than watching you disappear, I'd rather see how Shen Yuan despises you. I really hope to see the disgust in his eyes. It would be so exciting. Then Shen Yuan would see how good I am and realize that I am the most suitable person in the world to be his wife."
Jiang Ranxing said incredulously, "You're really crazy, Lin Xuesha, you're a madwoman."
Lin Xuesha laughed, seemingly unconcerned about the title.
He turned his head, looked behind him, and asked, "Second Uncle, how are things on your end?"
“Alright, the last step,” Fu Hongkai pressed the old man’s finger down and pressed the instruction on the last page of the paper before casually shaking the old man’s hand away. “Now it’s your turn. Remember, don’t go too far.”
So Jiang Ranxing watched as Fu Hongkai instructed the others: "Turn off all the surveillance cameras in the old house and destroy all the archived surveillance footage."
After saying this, Fu Hongkai sat down to the side, waiting for Lin Xuesha's actions.
Jiang Ranxing watched from the side. After all the warnings and words were useless, she stopped struggling. She began to think about how to save herself and if she could save Grandpa Fu as well.
She had just observed Old Master Fu, and he was probably just in a dazed state due to the medication, not brain death as Lin Xuesha had claimed. If a person were truly brain dead, their body would probably be very stiff.
But Jiang Ranxing could only find in despair that there was nothing she could do. She was bound very tightly, and when Lin Xuesha had her and Old Master Fu pushed to the top of the stairs, she became even more convinced that she had been completely set up.
But the old housekeeper would never stoop to their level. She hadn't seen the old housekeeper since she entered the old mansion, which meant that she and the original people in the Fu family mansion were all being controlled by Fu Hongkai and Lin Xuesha.
This despairing realization was accompanied by Lin Xuesha's malicious smile.
"Jiang Ranxing, go to hell! Hahahaha—"
She completely lost her balance. The stairs to the second floor were winding and uneven. Two people pushed her and Grandpa Fu from behind.
no!
Jiang Ranxing instinctively went to protect Grandpa Fu, using her own body as a buffer and shield.
But it was all in vain. In the end, Jiang Ranxing could only feel his body rolling and crashing into the cold marble floor.
The world was plunged into a void of black mist.
