Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan’an followed behind Su Lan’s sister, went up to the second floor, crossed a corridor, and reached a door.

Sister Su knocked on the door, and a weak female voice came from the room, “Please come in.”

When he heard the woman’s voice, Jiang Nanan’s body gave a jolt.

Wei Fuyuan noticed his reaction and knew that this time, they had found the right person.

The door opened and revealed a spacious bedroom.

The room consisted of only white walls and roofs, without any piece of decoration. The furniture was not too exquisite or beautiful, let alone the sense of design. In addition to ‘new’, it also looked more like the aesthetic standard of the 1990s.

However, the room was clean and tidy. A man and a woman sat on the edge of the wide, two-meter double bed and stared at the door together.

When the door opened, the woman visibly cringed, and only after seeing who was coming did she let out a sigh of relief.

“Jiang Nan……”

The girl turned her eyes towards Jiang Nan’an and opened her mouth to call him by his nickname.

Unfortunately, after a mere two words, Su Lan’s eyes turned red and tears rushed down from the corners of her eyes.

Her husband, Cai Mingjian, hurriedly embraced her, whispering soothing words.

When she was at Fèng Xīngchéng University, Su Lan was a popular, pretty girl in her class. She loved to talk and laugh, her smile was infectious and her personality was very lively.

But as of now, the ghost shadow had been following her for almost a month. Under the endless mental torture, Su Lan could not eat or sleep. She lost nearly nine kilograms in a month, leaving behind a hollow skeleton of her past self. Her wrists and ankles exposed outside her sleeves were so thin that it seemed they would easily break with the slightest force.

When she looked up at them, she seemed to have aged almost ten years more than the person in the photo. The bags under her eyes were deep, her eyes were dark and soulless, and her face was as white as paper. It looked as if she had been seriously ill and would die soon.

Cai Mingjian’s situation wasn’t much better.

He stayed with his wife as long as she was tortured. At this moment, he was also in a state of despair, with a haggard face and gray hair on his temples. He looked like a decadent middle-aged uncle, the appearance of a social elite from the past was no longer visible.

Wei Fuyuan sighed silently.

He saw a lot of pitiful people when dealing with the Hui Gui with Bei Quan during this time. Seeing this couple, Young Master Wei couldn’t help but feel compassion.

Su Lan insisted that she was still strong enough and that she wasn’t crazy. However, if she didn’t get rid of Hui Gui quickly, even if the girl was not killed by an ‘accident’, she would become more anxious and weak that she would become seriously ill.

“Ummm!”

Seeing her sister crying again, Sister Su turned her head away and made up a random excuse.

“I’ll go downstairs to keep an eye on things, you guys have a good chat while I’m gone.”

With that, she turned around and went downstairs.

Only Cai Mingjian and Su Lan were left in the room, as well as the two uninvited guests– Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan’an.

The room fell into an unsettling silence.

Su Lan could not control her emotions, but when she saw her ex-boyfriend, the heavy pressure she had been holding in for a long time finally found an outlet, and she could not stop crying louder and louder, which finally turned into a howl.

Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan’an stood in front of the door, silently waiting for her to finish crying.

While Su Lan was crying, Wei Fuyuan opened his eyes of heaven, which he had recently become more and more proficient at using, and carefully scanned the room.

In addition to himself, there were three large energy clusters in the room.

The whole body of Jiang Nan’an exuded a bright orange halo, and the outermost layer was even close to crimson.

The energy of the two husband and wife, Cai Mingjian and Su Lan overlapped, and although the colors were different in shades, they both showed a kind of grayish yellow, which was a sign of their weak Yang Qi.

But in addition, Wei Fuyuan did not find any Yin Qi within the scope of his own perception.

——It seems that the ‘thing’ is not around Su Lan 24 hours a day.

Wei Fuyuan looked at the wide curtains and the bright sunlight outside, thinking so.

A few moments later, Su Lan finally calmed down.

She sniffed as she wiped her face ,covered tears and snot with a tissue, looking rather embarrassed.

“I’m sorry…..for losing my composure…..”

Su lan smiled apologetically at Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan’an.

“Please…please take a seat.”

There was a small seating accomodation in the corner of the room, and a single sofa on the left and right, so Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan’an at least didn’t have to continue to stand awkwardly. They soon sat down and talked.

The first thing that Jiang Nan’an said was that he had heard from a classmate that Su Lan had recently run into some trouble and had gone back home, so he came over to take a look, and then introduced Wei Fuyuan to the two of them, saying that he was an intern in the company and had a good relationship with him, so he came along with him this time.

This set of words were full of loopholes, and it couldn’t even withstand a WeChat verification.

It’s just that Su Lan was exhausted and confused at this time. She didn’t have the mind to recall whether she mentioned going back to the countryside to anyone, nor did she think about how her ex-boyfriend had the address of her house.

Hearing that Jiang Nan’an had come to visit her specially, Su Lan was very moved, took a deep breath, and sincerely thanked him.

“Jiang Na’an, thank you…..”

The lump in her throat rolled over.

“You came to……see me……I am very happy…..”

As she spoke, she felt like crying again.

Wei Fuyuan hurriedly changed the subject.

“By the way, we saw a Taoist priest downstairs just now.”

He seemed to be curious and asked,

“Is there anything your family needs to do?”

“Alas, it is better for me to say it…..”

Cai Mingjian painfully stroked his wife’s withered hair and thought of a restrained way to say it.

“Xiao Lan, she is recently facing some bad luck, often encountering strange things, so we invited a Taoist to come home to resolve it.”

“Xiao Lan, I can…”

Jiang Nan’an met his unforgettable ex-girlfriend again and completely entered into a lovesick puppy mode. He opened his mouth and wanted to say, “I can help you catch ghosts”.

Wei Fuyuan’s eyes were sharp and his hands were swift. He poked Jiang Nan’an at the waist and stopped the little fool’s unspoken second-half of the sentence.

Jiang Nan’an paused just in time.

Wei Fuyuan stood up, put his hand behind him, and slowly walked around the room. Then he cast his eyes on the corner of the bed behind Su Lan, as if he was unintentional and said,

“I see, it’s more than that…..”

He did not speak loudly, but Su Lan seemed to have been electrocuted. With a shrill scream she sprang up, and ran towards the door, staring at the empty corner of the bed in fear.

Cai Mingjian was angry and distressed, he hurriedly went after his wife who was shivering with fear, and turned his head to glare at Wei Fuyuan, “What do you mean? Why are you scaring my wife?”

Jiang Nan’an also came back from the state of lovesick puppy mode and hurriedly cooperated with Wei Fuyuan’s performance.

Originally, Bei Quan played the role of such a God stick, and he won 100% on the spot, but Wei Fuyuan was obviously lacking in persuasion, and he could only make up for it by cooperation and tacit understanding.

“Hey, sorry, sorry!”

Jiang Nan’an raised one hand, towards the angry Cai Mingjian and made a placating gesture, “This friend of mine is usually a little bit of a talkative in the company, and occasionally tends to talk nonsense.”

He turned his head to glare at Wei Fuyuan.

“Xiao Wei, it’s not good to scare people like that, you know?”

“I did not scare her…..”

Wei Fuyuan deflated his mouth, trying to recall Bei Quan’s acting skills when he fooled people and lowered his voice to the level that everyone in the room could just hear. In a low voice, he said, “Just now there was a dark figure on the corner of the bed…”

“Ah!!!”

Su Lan was almost scared crazy by his words. After a scream, her feet softened and she knelt down directly on the floor.

Cai Mingjian hurriedly bent down to help her.

At that moment, Su Lan grabbed her husband’s lapel and shouted hysterically.

“See! I was right! It’s a black shadow! There is a black shadow following me! It’s following me!”

Before Cai Mingjian could react, Su Lan suddenly jumped up on the spot again and ran to Wei Fuyuan in two steps, reaching out to grab his lapel.

Wei Fuyuan lightly and quickly withdrew a step, so the girl only grabbed his sleeve.

“Little brother, you saw it too, right!

Su Lan pulled Wei Fuyuan’s sleeve with a force that almost tore the whole fabric off and repeatedly asked him.

“It’s a black shadow! It’s a black shadow! It’s right behind me, isn’t it?”

Wei Fuyuan let out a ‘hmm’, then covered the girl’s thin, blue-veined hands with one of his hands, causing the other to let go on her own after applying some few tricks.

“Miss Su, don’t get excited.”

Wei Fuyuan smiled soothingly at her and raised his hand towards the corner of the bed, “I did vaguely glimpse a black shadow there, but it’s gone now.”

Su lan breathed a sigh of relief, while Cai Mingjian showed a half-suspecting, half-confused expression.

Wei Fuyuan decided to take this opportunity to make a big move.

“By the way, if I’m not wrong…”

He paused and added the second half of the sentence.

“That thing’s eyes are golden red.”

The two couples, Cai Mingjian and Su Lan, widened their eyes together.

“That’s right! They are!”

Su Lan shouted, grabbing Wei Fuyuan’s arm, and turned back to her husband excitedly.

“It’s true! He can really see it! He can see as well as I can!”

Cai Mingjian also looked at Wei Fuyuan differently.

Although he believed that his wife was indeed haunted by something, he himself could not see anything and could only learn from Su Lan what that ‘thing’ looked like.

For the past months, there had been five different waves of Shamans, Taoists priests, and Monks whom the two had invited over simultaneously. After they came over to ‘investigate’, they blabbered about all sorts of things, yet none of them could clearly describe nor identify the same thing that his wife saw.

While this handsome guy who came to the door for the first time and stayed in the room for less than ten minutes, not only found the location of that ‘thing’ in a single glance, but also correctly described its characteristics.

Cai Mingjian did not know that he had unconsciously called through the hotline of [Thriller Night Talk], and naturally did not know that he personally told these details to Wei Fuyuan and the others.

“This…..this little brother…..”

Cai Mingjian peeled Su Lan off Wei Fuyuan, and let her sit on the sofa. When he spoke again, his attitude had undergone a complete 360 degree change.

“Since you can see it too……is there a way you can help us?”
