Ning Ran and Dabao were both missing!
No one was in the cabin as everyone was busy, and now the bodies were gone!
Everyone just looked at Nan Chen without saying a word.
Luo Fei was going limp from fear. Could there really be ghosts in this world? Did they turn into ghosts and ran away?
Nan Chen was also surprised, but he was not afraid.
Even if they had really turned into ghosts, he was willing to speak to them and apologize to them.
In fact, he was more concerned that some wild animals may have taken the bodies away while they were unaware.
“Hurry, search the area!” Nan Chen said.
There were only a few flashlights available and they were dim as they hadn’t been charged in a long while.
Entering the forest now would be dangerous.
All the poisonous bugs and snakes would be active during this hour, so there was no telling what you would run into.
But everybody went into the forest and started searching anyway.
They couldn’t find anything. It was as if Ning Ran and Dabao had vanished into thin air.
They searched till the wee hours of the morning and still couldn’t find anything.
Nan Chen had no choice but to let them rest and continue the next day.
If they kept going, all the batteries of the flashlight would run out. It would be dangerous if they ran into any emergencies without a light source.
No one seemed to be able to fall asleep as they were all thinking about what happened to Ning Ran and Dabao.
It was very late at night, but Luo Fei still couldn’t fall asleep. She felt there was a noise in the room, but every time she got up and looked, she saw nothing there.
Her guilt was eating away at her conscience. She tried to comfort herself by telling herself that there are no such things as ghosts.
As she was finally dozing off, she heard a voice calling her name, “Luo Fei, give me back my life……”
It sounded very soft, cold, and very familiar.
Luo Fei’s eyes shot wide open and she saw a dark figure standing in front of her.
She quickly grabbed the flashlight next to her and shone it at the figure. She saw Ning Ran with disheveled hair, a bleeding mouth and a purple face standing in front of her bed!
“Aaaaaah!” Luo Fei screamed in shock.
“Luo Fei, you’ve caused me so much pain! Give me back my life!” Ning Ran shouted.
Luo Fei was scared and tried to hide. But just as she turned around, Dabao was behind her and reached his hand out towards her face.
Luo Fei felt something cold on her face. She wiped it off and saw that it was blood!
“You evil woman, why did you try to kill me?! Why?!” Dabao asked.
Luo Fei peed herself in fear, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please forgive me!”
“Why did you poison my kids?!” Ning Ran asked.
“I was envious of you! I didn’t want you to be able to marry into the Nan family because of them! I’m really sorry! Please forgive me!” Luo Fei got down on her knees and groveled.
“My children are so young; how could you do such a thing to them?! You evil woman, give me my life back!”
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry! Your daughter is still alive! I’ll treat her very nicely in the future, so please rest in peace and spare my life!”
“When I was on the set, my skin got allergic all of a sudden. Was that you as well?”
“Yes, it was me! I’m sorry; I’ve done so many bad things to you!”
“My kids were almost killed in Cheng Xiangyun’s house. Did you arrange for that as well?!”
“Yes, I arranged for it! I’m sorry for what I’ve done!”
“You evil b****……”
“Alright, that’s enough.” A man’s voice was heard from outside the cabin.
It was Nan Chen’s voice!
“Nan Chen, help me! Help me!” Luo Fei screamed for help.
The door opened, and the cabin became a lot brighter as the light from outside poured in.
“Go wash your face. The face paint is bad for your skin. Dabao, go get cleaned up.” Nan Chen said.
Do ghosts need to wash their faces? Luo Fei sensed something was amiss.
“Uncle Nan Chen, do you believe that this woman is the one behind it all now?” Dabao’s voice had returned to normal.
Nan Chen did not say anything, as he was not the type to easily admit his mistakes.
“Dabao, this is uncle Nan Chen’s fiancéée. They are a family, so of course he would have to protect her.” Ning Ran’s voice had also returned to normal.
Luo Fei fully understood what happened now. Ning Ran and her son were not ghosts as they were not dead!
“Why aren’t you dead? Why?”
Smack!
Ning Ran slapped Luo Fei on the face, “If we died, wouldn’t you have gotten your way then?”
“Tie her up!” Nan Chen shouted coldly.
“Mr. Nan Chen, this is a misunderstanding! I didn’t do it! They scared me into admitting it!” Luo Fei began to retract her confession.
Nan Chen remained silent.
After all, Luo Fei was his honorary girlfriend. And now, Luo Fei had become a murderer who poisoned Ning Ran and the children in front of so many people.
He had always known that Luo Fei was just after fame and fortune, so he never really had much respect for her anyway. But he had never expected her to be so vicious in her ways to go as far as killing the children.
All of this was Dabao’s plan.
Dabao and Erbao had always known that Luo Fei was up to no good, and were always on guard.
After Luo Fei had placed the fish and rice on their table, Dabao sniffed it and noticed the smell of the Wang Chuan Grass solution in the soup.
He was the one who found the herb, so of course he would recognize the scent.
Dabao immediately told Ning Ran that Luo Fei had poisoned the soup.
Ning Ran wanted to pour it out but Dabao told her it was safe.
Although Wang Chuan Grass is poisonous, but it was far from being able to kill a cow with a single drop. That was all a trap that Dabao had set for Luo Fei.
So it was perfectly safe for them to eat the fish and rice.
But they couldn’t get Luo Fei to tell the truth if they didn’t fake being poisoned and dying from it.
If they had just told Nan Chen that Luo Fei had poisoned the soup, he would definitely not believe them.
In order to get Luo Fei to show her true self, they had to cause a huge scene.
The biggest scene they could cause, would be to fake their deaths.
But this was very technical work. It was easy for a living person to pretend to be unconscious, but pretending to be dead was a whole different story. First you had to stop your breathing. Then, your body had to be cold, so your body temperature must not be too high.
It would be very difficult to do all that, but Dabao knew some tricks.
He even knew of a drug that could lower your body temperature and heart rate by a little after consumption.
As long as they held their breath when someone was checking for signs of breathing, you would look just like a dead person.
Most importantly, there had to be a genius who was good at acting next to them to make it seem convincing.
Dabao had initially planned for Erbao and Ning Ran to fake their deaths, but Ning Ran changed her mind later and decided to let Erbao handle the acting instead.
Dabao was too quiet and calm but bad at lying, let alone acting. He also lacked emotions and explosive power.
But Erbao was creative and good at acting as well as lying.
So, she let the genius Erbao play the role of the survivor instead.
And she did a great job at it too, crying and screaming like that.
Her emotions were not enough at first, but as she continued to cry while thinking about what she would do if her mommy and brother were really dead, she started to cry more and more sadly.
Erbao’s great acting increased the sad atmosphere greatly, so no one would doubt Ning Ran’s death.
The insufficient lighting, damp forest air and naturally cold skin at night made her faked death look a lot more realistic.
