Under the horrified gazes of the crowd.
There were five stacks of ghost notes in Dai Wei's black backpack. Each stack seemed to be worth approximately 20,000 yuan.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Dai Wei suddenly poured all of the money onto the ground. Fear filled his face. "They're real notes. How did they turn into ghost notes?"
Di Jing was terrified.
Fear filled Old Shen's heart. He had never seen such a strange scene even though he had lived for most of his life.
He saw with his own eyes that the money that Dai Wei brought in was real. After all, one could tell the difference between real notes and ghost notes.
"Did one of you change my money into ghost notes when I was sleeping and pull such a prank on me?"
The thought popped into Dai Wei's head by instinct. He subsequently lifted his head to look at Ye Chen. "It must be you!"
"Do you mean that I changed your real notes and put a shroud on you to scare you?" Ye Chen chuckled.
"Yes, that's right!"
Dai Wei scoffed. "Among us, I know Old Shen and Di Jing very well. It's impossible for them to do such a thing. You're the only outsider. Who else could it be if not you?"
He was getting more and more certain as he spoke to this point, "If that's not the case, how would you know that there's something wrong with my money? You must be after my 100,000 yuan. "
Old Shen and Di Jing's expressions changed slightly as soon as they heard that.
Old Shen and Di Jing's expressions changed slightly. They could not help but look at Ye Chen by instinct. They secretly thought that what David said made sense!
Since Dai Wei was going to pick up the money at the door, Ye Chen had asked him not to touch it. It was inevitable that he wanted the money too.
Later on, the five of them were in a room. Dai Wei's money turned into ghost notes out of the blue, and he was wearing a shroud.
It was impossible for the series of actions to be done within a short period of time, so the possibility of an outsider breaking in could be ruled out.
The reason being that the door was closed and locked from the inside!
Even the hotel owner could not open it, could he?
Di Jing looked at Ye Chen with vigilance and caution in her eyes as she thought to this point.
Dai Wei was right. Ye Chen and his bodyguard were the outsiders among them. They were the biggest suspects!
"What? You have nothing to say now that I've exposed you? "
The coldness on Dai Wei's face intensified seeing that Ye Chen said nothing. "Old Shen, I told you that we can't trust this brat. I can't believe that I'm right. I can't believe that he's playing tricks on us for 100,000 yuan!"
He walked to Ye Chen as he spoke, "Ye, I'll give you a chance. Give me the money, and I'll break your arm and toss you out!"
As he spoke, he kept looking at Tie Ta from the corner of his eyes.
To him, although Ye Chen was rather tall, he was rather skinny. It was impossible for him to be a match for a retired soldier like him.
The only threat was Ye Chen's bodyguard, Iron Tower. He was over 1.8 meters tall, which was similar to Ye Chen's. However, Iron Tower was more muscular than him.
Ye Chen secretly frowned when he realized that David was suspecting him and even wanted to attack him.
At that moment, Old Shen stopped Dai Wei immediately and said, "Little Dai, don't be rash. There might be a misunderstanding."
Although all the evidence pointed to Ye Chen, Old Shen was willing to believe him.
"Misunderstanding?"
Instead of being angry, David laughed, "Old Shen, I, David, have never been tricked like this before. Tell me, what kind of misunderstanding is this?"
Old Shen sighed softly and could not help but turn his head to look at Ye Chen. "Mr. Ye, do you want to explain?"
Di Jing could not help but say, "Mr. Ye, now is not the time to be angry. Among all of us, you are the most suspicious. I advise you to explain yourself."
"Explain?"
Ye Chen's expression remained the same. His voice was extremely cold without any emotion. "I didn't do it. Why should I explain?"
His voice fell.
Di Jing's face stiffened, then she shook her head secretly.
He was a little unhappy!
His good intentions were treated as ill intent!
She knew David very well. Before he retired, he was a soldier in the army. He was very skilled, and even seven or eight burly men would not be his match.
Although Ye Chen and his bodyguard were two people, they could not defeat David even if they were to fight him together.
As expected, David was enraged. "Old Shen, move aside. Don't stop me. I must teach this brat a lesson today. He'll only know how powerful I am. Don't think that I won't dare to touch you just because you have a bodyguard."
"Touch me? You? "Ye Chen was rather disdainful.
David could not hold it in anymore.
He stretched his arm and pushed Old Shen away. Just when he was going to attack, someone knocked on the door.
The few of them in the house fell into silence.
"Who is it?"
David and Di Jing shouted almost at the same time.
It was the middle of the night. Apart from the blackout, David was wearing a shroud. Anyone would have been shocked by the sudden knock on the door.
No one responded, but the knocking on the door continued. In fact, it seemed to be getting more and more intense.
Di Jing screamed and hid next to Old Shen and Ye Chen while covering her mouth. Her pretty face was pale.
David stared at the door with his eyes wide open. He had forgotten about teaching Ye Chen a lesson.
Eventually, Old Shen took a deep breath in and walked to the door to open it. The people looked at the door immediately. A pale, old face greeted them.
"Ahh!"
Di Jing leaped into Ye Chen's embrace.
A hoarse voice came, "Why aren't you guys sleeping in the middle of the night? Why are you guys so noisy?"
The person at the door waved the torchlight in her hand. She sounded like she was complaining.
David pointed at her and looked like he had seen a ghost. He said, "I-aren't you the old lady who was burning joss paper earlier?"
Old Shen and Di Jing looked at her again. They were almost scared to death when they realized it was indeed the old lady from before.
"A-are you a human or a ghost?" Old Shen said in shock.
The old lady was upset. "Why are you guys talking to me like that? I'm alive and well. Of course, I'm a human! "
She scoffed as she spoke to this point, "There was a blackout at night, and I heard you guys arguing upstairs. That's why I came up to take a look since I was worried. I can't believe you guys thought I was a ghost."
"B-but didn't the hotel owner say that you died five years ago?" David stammered.
"Hotel owner?"
The old woman was stunned and said, "I'm the owner of this hotel. After my wife, son, and granddaughter died, I'm the only one left. I was the one who agreed to let you stay here just now. Are you guys muddle-headed?"
"Impossible!"
Old Shen shook his head immediately and said, "It was a man with a birthmark on his face who brought us in earlier."
"Are you talking about your son?"
The old woman looked at them as if they were monsters. "My son has been dead for three years. How could I have brought you here?"
His voice fell.
Everyone's scalp went numb!
