Chapter 595: 595 who is really playing tricks
“Is there anything else?” Shi’s mother asked her.
“No… no…” The Second Lady, frightened out of her wits, hurriedly left.
Because she was so scared, the Second Lady tumbled down the stairs.
People rushed to help, but then they saw Shi’s mother, alerted by the noise, come out and ask, “What happened? She threw up so much that she can’t even walk steadily?”
“Second Sister-in-law! Second Sister-in-law!”
“Shi Lan is back, Shi Lan is back…” murmured the Second Lady before she passed out.
The whole family was in a frenzy taking the Second Lady to the hospital, except for Shi’s mother, who stood on the second floor, her lips curled in a cold sneer.
She had merely moved Shi Lan’s photo into the room and placed a toy gun on the dresser, enough to terrify that woman into utter panic. Indeed, in the Shi Family, one had to play ruthless to become a king.
In the hospital, the Second Lady eventually woke up, but she was still dazed and spoke incoherently. Fortunately, she only suffered superficial injuries and no bones were harmed, so she only needed to be observed in the hospital for one day before being discharged.
Of course, other members of the Shi Family also found Shi’s mother’s behavior today extremely strange.
However, this strangeness was not only at the dinner table but also in Shi Lan’s former room.
Several members of the Shi Family heard eerie phone ringing and even voices answering calls from Shi Lan’s room in the middle of the night.
The third child of the Shi Family summoned courage and, taking the butler, went to Shi Lan’s room in the middle of the night. Upon pushing the door, they discovered that the ringing was coming from the bedside cabinet where Shi Lan used to keep her phone. The two pulled open the drawer and took out the phone, only to find it was just an alarm ringing.
But then, the two were drenched in cold sweat.
Hadn’t Shi Lan’s phone been smashed in Thailand?
Yet, this phone was identical to the one she used to own. Most importantly, the room had never made a sound before. Why did it start now?
Almost instantly, the third child thought of Shi’s mother and hurriedly went to knock on her room door.
However, the butler stopped him and said, “Young Master, the Madam left shortly after the Second Lady was taken to the hospital.”
“What about all these?” the third child angrily said. “It must all be her doing! Go check thoroughly again. There are no more traps. The person has been gone for a year, and now this happens, how is that reasonable?”
The butler immediately went to check inside and out again, and only then did the third child feel relieved and returned to his bedroom.
But not long after, around two or three in the morning, sounds of a TV broadcast came again from Shi Lan’s room.
This time, the whole family was terrified to the core.
The third wife of the Shi Family, clutching her husband’s pajamas, trembled with fear, “Could it really be that Shi Lan has come back?”
“Nonsense! How can there be such things as ghosts in this world?” Saying this, the third child pushed open the door to Shi Lan’s room again, this time discovering that the projector in the room was on and showing “King Lear,” Shi Lan’s favorite drama.
“Who the hell is playing tricks!?”
Just then, the image of King Lear on the screen switched to the horrendous pictures from Shi Lan’s car accident in Thailand, showing a gruesome scene. The third wife screamed immediately.
“Tonight, I’ll sleep in this room. I want to see who’s playing ghost!”
Since Shi Lan left, this house had never been as chaotic as it was today.
Eventually, the chaotic night ended with the third child guarding in Shi Lan’s room.
But the next day, the faces of everyone in the Shi Family were extremely grim, each looking as if they were rushing to a funeral.
