Novel Bin Chapter 574 - Set Her Up
Chapter 574 Set Her Up
It was about four or five o’clock in the afternoon, but it was still light in September.
Though they were far away from her, Shao Xue could see that Gu Changle was smirking at her, and Ali was somewhat nervous.
She frowned and turned to look at Shao Tianze, saying, “Brother, I didn’t mean to lose Yi and Miaomiao. Let’s call the police now!”
Shao Tianze also frowned. Though he felt anxious, he appeared calm.
“OK.”
Shao Tianze took out his phone and prepared to call the police.
At this moment, Gu Changle and Ali had walked up to them.
Seeing that Shao Tianze was calling the police, they turned to look at Shao Xue with one accord.
Gu Changle asked her first, “I heard that you lost Yi and Miaomiao. Is that true?”
Hearing Gu Changle’s question, Shao Xue pressed her lips, explaining, “It was an accident. I didn’t expect that two men suddenly popped out in the Haunted House and abducted Yi and Miaomiao.”
“Could it be a prank played by the staff of the Haunted House?” Ding Ali looked at Shao Xue and expressed her opinion, appearing worried.
Gu Changle sneered and said with her back to Shao Tianze, “How could there be a prank like that? In my view, it was definitely premeditated. Perhaps someone wants to blackmail the Shao Family by kidnapping the kids.”
Gu Changle expressed her opinion.
Ding Ali also frowned, echoing, “That’s a possibility.”
Seeing that they were making wild guesses, Shao Xue frowned, saying, “I think that someone planned to hurt us while I was out playing with Yi and Miaomiao.”
Hearing Shao Xue’s words, Gu Changle couldn’t help but sneer, “Hurt who? Yi, Miaomiao, or you?”
Shao Xue knew that she could never know what attitude Gu Changle would have towards her.
Gu Changle’s mood always swung, and Shao Xue doubted that Gu Changle got someone to snatch the two kids away.
However, Ding Ali was also a scheming b*tch.
If she suspected that Gu Changle had something to do with Gu Yi and Miaomiao’s abducting, she should also treat Ding Ali as a suspect.
Shao Xue looked at Gu Changle’s and Ding Ali’s expressions.
Gu Changle stood with her back to Shao Tianze and wore an indifferent look.
But Ding Ali was totally different. She appeared to be worried to death.
After calling the police, Shao Tianze walked to Shao Xue, asking, “Where exactly were Yi and Miaomiao abducted in the Haunted House?”
“Let me take you there.” Shao Xue turned around, preparing to enter the Haunted House again.
When Gu Changle saw that Shao Xue was going to lead Shao Tianze into the Haunted House, a faint coldness and satisfaction crossed her eyes.
Then she told Ding Ali to follow her into the Haunted House.
Everything was normal in the Haunted House. It was still open though two kids had been abducted inside.
On the way to the path where Gu Yi and Miaomiao were abducted, there were even some workers hanging on the roof dressed like vampires.
Ding Ali covered her belly with one hand and followed Shao Tianze closely, appearing scared.
However, Shao Tianze showed no inclination to protect or console her. He just frowned and followed Shao Xue.
No sooner had they reached the path where Gu Yi and Miaomiao were abducted than they saw the long-hair and black-faced ghost in white that spooked Gu Yi and Miaomiao popped out again, accompanied by a burst of dim light and horrible sound effects.
Ding Ali and Gu Changle both dodged subconsciously.
Shao Xue and Shao Tianze knew that he was just a worker in the Haunted House, so they remained still and waited for the worker to finish doing his job.
However, Shao Xue noticed the long-hair ghost that flung himself at Shao Tianze drew out a thing from his arms.
In the dark, Shao Xue suddenly found out that the thing flashed in the dim path.
Then she shouted, “Watch out!”
As soon as she screamed, she heard a knife was stuck into the flesh in the narrow path.
Shao Tianze gave a grunt.
Seeing that the long-hair ghost still wanted to hurt Shao Tianze, Shao Xue slightly frowned and rushed forward, wanting to stop him.
But just at that moment, she suddenly halted.
Why would she rush to save Shao Tianze?
Would it be great if Shao Tianze got killed by this long-hair ghost?
In this way, she could get revenge for her parents.
Shao Tianze could never lead a care-free life in Yuncheng under her nose, and she would not be subservient to Gu Changle in the Shao Family anymore.
She would never have difficulty sleeping for the reason that she was not able to avenge for her parents.
Shao Xue pressed her lips and stifled her temptation to rush over.
Meanwhile, after being stabbed, Shao Tianze realized that the long-hair ghost wanted to kill him and began to grapple with that ghost.
Gu Changle and Ding Ali, who dodged, were stupefied by the sudden accident.
Gu Changle even murmured when hearing Shao Tianze grunted because of being stabbed, “No... No...”
She looked on while Shao Tianze was grappling with that ghost.
Meanwhile, she stepped backward subconsciously and wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, fearing that the man with a knife might hurt her.
But just at that moment, Shao Tianze suddenly shouted, “Changle! Get out of here now!”
Gu Changle suddenly halted. After about one second, she rushed over to help Shao Tianze as if she had thought of something.
But Shao Xue pushed her away when she was about to rush over, shouting, “Look out!”
The next second, Shao Xue screamed with pain.
Some blood sprayed on both Shao Tianze and Gu Changle.
Then Shao Tianze felt that Shao Xue fell into his arms.
Gu Changle was also petrified.
In the commotion, Shao Tianze felt that Shao Xue fell into his arms. He was stunned and then immediately got up, wanting to catch that long-hair ghost before he could draw the knife out of Shao Xue’s body.
However, the long-hair ghost seemed to know that it was not wise to keep grappling. Thus he disengaged himself from Shao Tianze with an effort, turned around, and fled into the darkness, disappearing completely.
Just at that moment, some policemen rushed in with shining flashlights, shouting, “Anyone inside? There has been a fault in the electrical system. Are you guys all right?”
“Someone’s been hurt! Come and save her!”
Shao Tianze’s wound was on his arm and was not very serious.
But Shao Xue passed out right after being stabbed.
Shao Tianze’s heart seemed to block his throat. He called out to the police anxiously.
Hearing Shao Tianze’s anxious voice, the policemen rushed over to check on the wounded.
Seeing that Shao Xue’s wound was on her back, they instantly called the ambulance.
The commotion made people unable to think straight.
Ding Ali stood stunned at the sudden attack.
After Shao Xue and Shao Tianze were both taken to the hospital, she still felt scared.
Though Gu Changle was not hurt during the commotion, she looked pale.
Her lips also turned pale.
Besides, she repeatedly made phone calls after entering the hospital. It seemed that she wanted to reach someone.
However, no one answered her phone calls.
It even made her want to toss her phone to the ground.
No sooner had she lifted her phone than the phone rang. And it was from the number which she could not get through for many times.
Gu Changle pressed her lips and answered the call, frowning.
Gu Changle reproached, “What’s going on? Why did you do that?”
Hearing Gu Changle’s angry voice, the other end remained silent for a moment. Then the man explained, “We intended to intimidate Mr. Shao as you ordered. We didn’t expect that our man got out of line, so...”
“Do you know that Shao Tianze was hurt?!” Gu Changle roared.
Hearing Gu Changle’s reprimand, the man on the other end felt embarrassed, explaining, “We are so sorry, Miss Gu. But even so, you can still set up the lady who led Mr. Shao into the Haunted House. Now that we have stabbed Mr. Shao, you can seize the opportunity and accused her of murdering Mr. Shao.”
Hearing that lousy idea, Gu Changle itched to find the man on the other end immediately and throttle him.
She did want to set up Shao Xue, but Shao Xue took a stab for Shao Tianze in the end.
Now she had been wounded, so it would not be convincing if she accused Shao Xue of murdering Shao Tianze.
As Gu Changle remained silent for a while, the man on the other end ventured to ask, “Was Miss Shao hurt seriously?”
Gu Changle snorted, asking them stonily, “Since you stabbed her, why did you stop halfway? If you had stabbed her to death, things would have been much easier.”
Hearing that, the man felt sorry, apologizing, “Sorry, Miss Gu. We’ll do exactly what you tell us to do next time.”
Gu Changle continued, “Next time!?”
Gu Changle’s voice was filled with anger, and the other end could sense that Gu Changle didn’t want to cooperate with them anymore.
So he said with embarrassment, “Miss Gu, since you don’t want to work with us anymore, as for the money we negotiated before...”
Hearing that, Gu Changle narrowed her eyes, replying, “I’ll give you your reward. But remember to keep your mouth shut.”
Hearing that, the man repeatedly promised, “You can rest assured, Miss Gu. We’ll surely keep the secret. We won’t let you down.”
Hearing the promise, Gu Changle snorted. Then she thought of Gu Yi and Miaomiao.
She asked, “How are the two brats doing?”
The man was stupefied on hearing Gu Changle’s question. He asked Gu Changle in reply, “Miss Gu, what do you mean?”
“What did I mean?” Gu Changle frowned, continuing, “I want to know how Gu Yi and Miaomiao are doing now. Have you got rid of them?”
The man felt confused, replying, “Miss Gu, Gu Yi and Miaomiao are not with us now.”
