"Don't do anything rash," An Su said to Shi Sheng.
Earlier, when Shi Sheng floated over to Feng Jin, the woman happened to be in Feng Jin's arms. She thought that it was normal for Shi Sheng to want to harm the woman.
Shi Sheng rolled his eyes at An Su.
An Su was taken aback by Shi Sheng's actions. There seemed to be something wrong with this female ghost.
In the past, all the ghosts she saw were either missing limbs or vicious and cynical. None of them were like this female ghost.
Hmm … She rolled her eyes at me so calmly.
An Su suddenly felt that this female ghost was a little cute.
Just as she was lost in thought, someone pushed her from behind. She stumbled and crashed into a bonsai placed in the hallway.
The woman screamed and ran off. A group of people called out for Madam and chased after her.
Soon, the only people left in the hallway were the butler, Feng Jin, Shi Sheng, and An Su.
The old man was still standing in the kitchen. His face was full of vicissitudes and helplessness, and his cloudy eyes were filled with tears.
Feng Jin patted his clothes, which had been wrinkled by the woman, and walked toward the kitchen.
"Mr. Feng." The old man immediately wiped his tears. "I've offended you. I apologize on behalf of Madam."
"It's fine." Feng Jin glanced toward the kitchen. "Can I go in and take a look?"
"Of course, of course." The old man nodded repeatedly. "To be honest, this isn't the first time Madam has acted like this. She always says that she sees ghosts. I wonder if she's been possessed …"
Their voices gradually trailed off. Shi Sheng was still standing in the same spot. He lowered his eyes and looked at the female lead lying on the bonsai. "Stupid."
An Su wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Why did everyone call her stupid?
She got up from the bonsai. "Just now … were you the one who scared her?"
"I'm not that bored." Shi Sheng floated toward the kitchen.
An Su was stunned. Why did this voice sound so familiar? She felt like she'd heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where …
"Wait, then do you know who scared her? Is there really a ghost here? "An Su chased after Shi Sheng. She probably knew that there were people in the kitchen, so she lowered her voice.
"Aren't I a ghost?" Shi Sheng rolled his eyes at the female lead again.
An Su: "…" 'That's right.'
She followed Shi Sheng into the kitchen. The kitchen was very quiet. The strangely dressed man from before was standing in the kitchen cutting vegetables. There were a few pieces of meat on the chopping board, still stained with blood, as if they had just been cut.
An Su couldn't help but feel nauseous. She had to force herself not to throw up.
She watched as the Shi Sheng floated to the man's side. The man raised his head to look at her, then continued to look down at the pieces of meat.
That man could see her too?
An Su's brain, which she rarely used, began to work. Earlier, she'd only thought that she was trying to scare that woman because she'd seen her drifting towards that woman.
But at that time, she wasn't alone. There was also this man.
"Aiya, little girl, why did you come in? I'm really sorry. Did I scare you? I'll arrange a room right away. "When the old man saw An Su enter, he immediately went up to her and blocked her line of sight.
"It's fine, Uncle Steward." An Su shook her head. "I'm already very grateful that you're willing to let me stay overnight."
The old man forced a smile. "It's nothing. I'll send you to your room!"
An Su could tell that the steward didn't want to talk about it, so she shut her mouth and didn't ask any more questions. Before she left, she glanced in the direction of Shi Sheng.
… …
Feng Jin told the old man that he wanted to observe for two more days and told him to prepare a room.
When they were at Feng Jin's house, Shi Sheng had always stayed in the bedroom next to his. He didn't allow her to enter his room.
But this time, it was clear that he had to let her in.
As soon as Shi Sheng entered the room, he occupied the only bed. "I'll sleep on the bed."
Feng Jin: "…" Why would a ghost sleep on a bed?
He really wanted to throw her out, but when he thought about the hidden dangers of this villa, he acquiesced to her occupying the bed and went to the sofa with his blanket.
Shi Sheng lay on the bed and propped his chin on his hand. "That old man just called that woman 'Madam'."
Feng Jin was stunned by Shi Sheng's sudden words and turned to look at him.
Shi Sheng flipped over and lay on his back. "There's a portrait in that man's room. It looks exactly like that woman."
He got up and walked to the bed, looking down at her from above. "Are you saying that there's something wrong with that woman?"
Shi Sheng blinked. "She appeared in the kitchen in the middle of the night, and there's even a few pieces of human flesh. Do you think there's nothing wrong with her?"
"How do you know that's human flesh?" He didn't seem to have told her that just now, did he?
Shi Sheng's lips curled into a beautiful smile, but there was something strange about it. "There's a difference between the smell of human blood and the smell of animal blood."
Feng Jin placed his hands on either side of her head, his gloomy eyes carrying a strange chill. "Ning Ying, have you regained your memories?"
Shi Sheng wasn't used to this oppressive position, so he got up from the bed and knelt on one knee. "No."
"Then how do you explain your sudden change in temperament?" Feng Jin stared at her and said word by word, "Ning Ying, don't lie to me."
Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. "You can't let me touch you if I lie to you. Why would I lie to you?"
Feng Jin: "…" Why do you keep wanting to touch me?
"Besides, temperament is something that's hard to figure out. There are so many people who change their temperament overnight. Do you have to ask them all why?"
If she hadn't sold herself to Feng Jin, she wouldn't have bothered to talk so much nonsense.
Feng Jin remained in that position for more than ten seconds before slowly getting up and walking back to the sofa. It wasn't until he lay down that Shi Sheng heard his voice.
"That human flesh was freshly cut off, so it's still warm."
…
The night passed uneventfully, but the next morning, it began to rain heavily, so An Su had no choice but to stay.
When the old man came to deliver breakfast, Feng Jin casually asked about the woman from yesterday.
The old man mumbled incoherently, then excused himself and left.
Even if there wasn't anything going on, it would still make people think that there was something going on.
After breakfast, Feng Jin went to see the middle-aged man again.
His name was Qi Mo, a well-known entrepreneur. However, a month ago, he had suffered from dizziness and chest tightness. When he went to the hospital for a check-up, the hospital diagnosed him as simply overwork.
Hence, Qi Mo brought his wife here for a vacation.
However, not only did his condition not improve, it even worsened.
The big hospital and the family doctors took turns treating him, but they couldn't find anything wrong with him. Qi Mo didn't seem to be getting any better. Instead, his condition worsened. In the end, Qi Mo couldn't even get out of bed. Even now, he was still in a vegetative state.
The butler had heard Qi Mo's father mention the Feng family, which was an exorcist family. That was why he'd asked someone to find the Feng family.
Feng Jin wasn't in the manor, so he shouldn't have known about this. However, for some reason, he ended up coming.
After seeing Qi Mo, Feng Jin took a stroll around the villa. His leisurely manner caused the servants in the villa to talk among themselves.
They were also afraid of the recent events. Madam kept saying that she saw ghosts, and the villa was eerie at night. If it weren't for the generous salary, they wouldn't have stayed here.
