932: Frightened Wei Man

Frightened Wei Man

Chi Shuyan's bombshell scared Wei Xiao and Wei Man witless, especially Wei Man, who directly jumped to his feet.1

When he thought of how he had been inexplicably compelled to go upstairs, and of a strange, withered hand suddenly appearing at the door, it wasn't hard to imagine how the victims in Shen Rongyin's room had died.

Humans were afraid of overthinking things. Wei Man was obviously such a person. The more he thought about it, the colder his body became. He couldn't help but shiver. It felt as if there was something behind him once more, and he turned his head hurriedly for a look. He couldn't help but ask, "Yan Yan, you… you really saw a hand earlier? Yan Yan, you… you're not scaring me?"

Chi Shuyan met his terrified yet expectant gaze, and her lips curled up. "Third Brother, I really saw it! So, stay away from the Shen family in the future!"

As soon as she said that, Wei Man immediately cried out, "A ghost! A ghost! Dad! It's a ghost!"

Wei Man was probably too frightened and was about to shout for his mother in the kitchen, when Chi Shuyan quickly covered his mouth.

She originally didn't plan to talk about it, but since Shen Rongyin had raised such a thing, Chi Shuyan had to make Uncle Wei accept that there were indeed supernatural things in this world.

She just hadn't expected Third Brother Wei to be so cowardly.

Chi Shuyan forgot that ordinary people would be scared witless when they heard ghost stories, let alone Third Brother Wei, who might have encountered a 'ghost' for real. How could Wei Man not be both excited and terrified?

His third son was being a hindrance, so Wei Xiao sent him away.

Wei Man was scared out of his wits. He didn't want to have anything to do with the Shen family anymore, nor did he want to go to the Shen residence again.

After Wei Man left, Wei Xiao obviously had some thoughts. There had been so many people in the Shen residence today, and the victims were all women. It was too strange that they suddenly died in Shen Rongyin's room without making a sound.

Moreover, Shen Rongyin hadn't been around. Why did those women suddenly enter Shen Rongyin's room for no reason?

Wei Xiao suddenly thought of what his third son had said about someone calling his name and going upstairs in a trance. Thinking back to how Yan Yan had said that an old, withered hand had reached out of the door, Wei Xiao's heart jumped.

At that moment, Chi Shuyan suddenly said, "Uncle Wei, I have something else to tell you. It's not convenient to talk here. Shall we talk in the study?"

Wei Xiao hurriedly nodded. When they entered the study, he didn't stop staring at Yan Yan as he wondered if her words just now had been to send Third Brother away.

Chi Shuyan took in Uncle Wei's expression and said, "Uncle Wei, I do have something serious to tell you, but what I'm going to say next won't do Third Brother any good. As for the hand I mentioned before, I did see it clearly. I also know whose hand it is. It's just that I still have a few questions for you, Uncle Wei!"

Alarmed, Wei Xiao took a deep breath and said hurriedly and solemnly, "Yan Yan, ask!"

"Uncle Wei, did Shen Rongyin grow up in the military?"

Wei Xiao didn't understand why Yan Yan would suddenly shift the topic to Shen Rongyin. There was a faint, absurd guess in his mind, but Shen Rongyin had gone out with a witness. It was impossible for those bodies to have anything to do with her.

It was just that he suddenly remembered how Old Ren's youngest daughter had been sucked dry of blood back then. Not only had she died in the exact same way as the victims today, so had Chen Jing. Wei Xiao hadn't thought much of it before, but now that he put these victims together, he was even more alarmed.

Seeing Uncle Wei deep in thought, Chi Shuyan repeated, "Uncle Wei, did Shen Rongyin grow up in the military?"
