Hearing Zhang Huizhi's intention to call an ambulance and even the police, Lan Qingqing turned and stood directly in front of her. She forcefully grabbed Zhang Huizhi's phone, holding it up with an air of authority, issuing a deadly command: "You dare to call the police? He Shui Xian died of a pre-existing condition! It has nothing to do with me! I have worked hard and selflessly cared for her for many years; she should have died long ago. It was I who allowed her to live for so many more years and enjoy life! What right do you have to call the police? What are you going to tell them? That I killed He Shui Xian?"
The last two words were a scream from Lan Qingqing, her eyes reddening with bloodshot fury, the murderous intent within them seeming as if it could consume Zhang Huizhi at any moment.
Zhang Huizhi was somewhat frightened; it was only now that she realized Lan Qingqing was far more sinister than Tong Le! Previously, she had known little about Lan Qingqing and had interacted with her even less. She thought Lan Qingqing was a well-behaved girl with a good temper who could be easily controlled. Now, however, it was clear that she was a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Zhang Huizhi refused to back down. Gritting her teeth, she shouted at Lan Qingqing, "Who are you yelling at? Do you think you can justify murder? How did He Shui Xian get that injury on her head? With such a huge bloodstain, do you expect us to believe that a paralyzed person suddenly regained the use of their limbs and fell out of bed? Just now, you were the only one at home, cleaning up after He Shui Xian! So you are the one who killed her! Do you think you can justify murder?"
Zhang Huizhi deliberately raised her voice, declaring loudly under the clear sky, "You, Lan Qingqing, are a murderer!"
At that moment, Lan Qingqing could no longer hold back; she raised her hand and slapped Zhang Huizhi across the face. The force of the slap left Zhang Huizhi dazed.
Caught off guard, Zhang Huizhi took a moment to process what had just happened, while Mo Kai Liang stood by in shock.
Lan Qingqing pointed at Zhang Huizhi's face, her eyes wide with rage as she warned, "If you slander me as a murderer, I can just as easily call the police on you! My care for He Shui Xian over the years and all the medications I've provided and tests I've conducted can prove that I fulfilled my duty of care! On the contrary, it’s you who should be investigated by the police! You lost two million cash belonging to Ke Wenjie—how did you come by that money? As an uneducated old woman without a job, what illegal means did you use to acquire it? I assert that you are guilty of economic crimes and may even be involved in money laundering!"
Lan Qingqing retaliated with accusations filled with professional jargon. Zhang Huizhi didn’t understand what economic crimes or money laundering meant, but hearing such words from Lan Qingqing made it seem as though she truly had committed a crime.
Zhang Huizhi was completely enraged. Unable to reason with Lan Qingqing and having no other adjectives at her disposal except insults, she decided to take matters into her own hands. The only way to vent her frustration was through physical confrontation.
In the next moment, Zhang Huizhi and Lan Qingqing were grappling on the ground. They pulled each other's hair and slapped each other back and forth—one slap from Zhang Huizhi followed by one from Lan Qingqing. Zhang Huizhi fiercely grabbed Lan Qingqing's arm while Lan Qingqing kicked at Zhang Huizhi's thigh. Zhang Huizhi even shoved her hand into Lan Qingqing's mouth, forcing her teeth and tongue down.
Lan Qingqing felt nauseated as she had never encountered such a disgusting way of fighting. Zhang Huizhi's hand carried an unpleasant odor reminiscent of sweaty palms mixed with something foul.
Kneeling on the ground, Lan Qingqing felt like vomiting while Zhang Huizhi thought she was just putting on an act.
After losing several strands of hair in the scuffle, Zhang Huizhi stood behind Lan Qingqing with disheveled hair and pressed down on Lan Qingqing’s head, trying to slam it against the ground. The force behind it seemed intent on smashing Lan Qingqing's head into the floor.
Mo Kai Liang was dumbfounded; he rushed forward but ended up getting scratched by Zhang Huizhi’s nails. In desperation, he shielded Lan Qingqing with his body and shouted at the victorious Zhang Huizhi, "Aunt! She's pregnant! Stop hitting her! Something bad will happen!"
Zhang Huizhi nearly forgot that Lan Qingqing was pregnant; she finally relented and stopped, panting heavily.
