The old woman's words caused everyone to be stunned.
Dai Wei gulped by instinct and said, "What did you say? Your granddaughter died in this room? "
"Yes, yes!"
The old lady cried while wiping her tears. "My granddaughter hanged herself in this room. I heard that people who commit suicide can't be reincarnated. That's why I wanted to burn more money for my granddaughter so that she can build some connections."
'Hanged herself?'
Di Jing's face turned pale when she heard that. She leaned toward Ye Chen by instinct and was a little scared when she looked at the room that was closest to the side.
Dai Wei was enraged when he saw what she was doing. He kicked the metal basin on the ground and cursed, "Get lost! Get lost now! I'll beat you to death if you don't!"
The old woman was probably frightened by him. She cleaned up the ashes on the ground, picked up the iron basin, and left while trembling.
"Damn it, I can't believe I've come across this in a hotel. I'm so unlucky!" Dai Wei said while grumbling.
Di Jing hesitated and could not help but say, "Dai Wei, why don't we not stay here? Let's go back to the car and sleep."
Although she was highly educated, she was still a girl after all. That was what girls were most afraid of.
Dai Wei thought to himself.
Dai Wei thought to himself and agreed with what she said. However, he peeped at Ye Chen who was standing behind Di Jing by instinct. Noticing that he was pretending to be calm, he said firmly, "Don't worry, I've never been afraid of that."
"Old Shen …" Di Jing looked at Old Shen.
Old Shen fell into deep thought and said while smiling, "Xiaodai, you're right. It's no big deal. That old lady just burned some paper money. Moreover, it's a little cold here at night. We might catch a cold if we sleep in the car."
As the leader of the investigation team, he had to be responsible for everyone's safety. Moreover, he had lived for most of his life and had never seen anything mysterious. He would not be scared by what happened earlier.
Di Jing could only nod unwillingly seeing that Old Shen insisted. Subsequently, she stretched her arm and pushed the door open. She entered the room on the far left directly.
The three rooms were connected, and their numbers were 443,444,445. Meanwhile, Di Jing entered Room 443.
Old Shen looked at Ye Chen and said, "Mr. Ye, which room are we sleeping in?"
"It doesn't matter."
Ye Chen shrugged.
Dai Wei was elated. He pointed at Room 444, where the old lady's granddaughter had been hanged. "Since it doesn't matter, you can sleep in this room."
Ye Chen looked at him wryly and said, "Didn't you just say that you're not afraid of that?"
"Who said I'm scared!"
Dai Wei felt guilty when he met Huo Yuhao's gaze. He said calmly, "I'm just pissed off about that damned old woman."
He felt a little uneasy after saying that. Initially, he thought Ye Chen was unwilling to sleep in the middle room.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen nodded. "Sure!"
Ye Chen led Iron Tower into Room 444 after saying that. Dai Wei was stunned and could not react at that moment.
"Xiaodai, look at Mr. Ye. He doesn't believe in such things." Old Shen sighed softly and walked in.
Dai Wei's face alternated between green and white. He snorted coldly in the end and was the last one to walk into Room 445 on the right.
…
Room 444.
The entire room was less than 50 square meters. Although the decorations were simple, it had all sorts of facilities. The only downside was that there was only one bed.
"This room doesn't look like it's been hung."
Old Shen chuckled out loud and subsequently said, "Mr. Ye, the both of you can sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the floor. I'm getting old, and I can't sleep on the Simmons."
"Old Shen, you're an elder. How can you let an elder sleep on the floor? You can sleep on the bed. My bodyguard and I will sleep on the floor."
Ye Chen shook his head lightly. Before Old Shen could reject him, he walked to the closet and picked up a pile of cotton. He laid them on the floor and lay alone.
Iron Tower stood still at the door.
Old Shen felt a little warm inside. He looked at Iron Tower by instinct and was rather doubtful. "Doesn't your bodyguard sleep? Moreover, I don't think he said anything along the way. "
"He's my bodyguard. His responsibility is to protect me 24 hours a day. He doesn't need to sleep," Ye Chen chuckled softly and said, "Also, he's a man of few words. Just get used to it, Old Shen."
Old Shen did not think much about it. Just when he was going to bed after removing his jacket, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Old Shen had his guard up.
A laugh came from outside. "It's me, the hotel owner. I'm here to bring you guys some food."
Old Shen then walked over to open the door. As expected, he saw the man with the birthmark standing at the door with a tray in his hand. There were five bowls of rice on it, and there was a layer of stir-fried pork with peppers on top.
The owner said kindly, "Guys, I know that you guys came from out of town. I guess you guys haven't eaten much along the way. Coincidentally, I have extra food at home, so I'll give it to you guys for free."
At that moment, Dai Wei and Di Jing opened the door and walked out after hearing the noise. Dai Wei complained as soon as he saw the owner, "Hey, boss, what's wrong with you guys? You're doing business here, but you got people to burn joss paper at our door. "
"Nope. Since when did I get people to burn joss paper at your door?" The owner looked confused.
Seeing that the owner was denying it, Dai Wei extended his arm and pointed at Room 444. He said with a scoff, "We saw your mother burning joss paper at the door of this room when we were going upstairs earlier. She said that it was for your daughter. She even said that your daughter hanged herself in this room."
"That's right. Boss, you're not a nice person. Why didn't you tell us earlier that someone died in this room?" Di Jing looked rather upset too. If she had known earlier, she would not have stayed here no matter what.
The hotel owner said in a daze, "My mother died five years ago. My daughter didn't hang herself. She died in a car accident. Are you guys mistaken?"
Everyone was stunned as soon as he said that.
The few of them were stunned.
Di Jing said while her face turned pale, "Then, who was the old lady who burned joss paper earlier?"
"There's no old lady here!"
The hotel owner shook his head angrily and said, "There's only one exit on the second floor. I've been guarding the first floor, but I didn't see anyone else entering or leaving the room apart from you guys. Maybe your eyes are playing tricks on you."
Even Old Shen, who was the calmest among them, could no longer sit still. He said, "It's impossible. We all saw it."
"Then, someone must have sneaked up here when I wasn't paying attention."
The hotel owner acknowledged and said, "To be honest, someone did die in room 444, but that was last month. It was a conflict between two lovers, and then the woman took it too hard and hanged herself. The woman's family came here every day to make a scene, and I had to pay quite a lot of money for it."
