The other nine people also looked up and saw Yuan Lai by the window, and greeted her one after another.

Although their faces were smiling, it was so weird that Yuan Lai was frightened and stepped back repeatedly.

A car horn honked, and a taxi slowly pulled up in front of the gate. Then, the doors opened, and Yuan Sheng and Mo Jingxin stepped out. What you fear is bound to happen! Why would they choose to show up at this critical moment?

Yuan Lai stood in front of the window, anxiously calling Yuan Sheng and waving his arms desperately to attract their attention.

But what was frustrating was that Yuan Sheng’s phone was on silent mode and neither of them looked up.

Yuan Sheng and Mo Jingxin walked towards the gate while talking and laughing, and bumped into the crowd in the open space the moment the door opened.

In an instant, countless possible scenarios flashed through Yuan Lai's mind, but the two groups passed each other as if they couldn't see each other.

Completely pretend that the other person doesn't exist.

Yuan Sheng smiled and said something to Mo Jingxin, then took the key to open the door.

After hesitating for just a second, Yuan Lai gritted his teeth, reached into his pocket, and took out the hairpin he always carried with him.

In such a critical moment, if it can really save your life, it would be worth it!

Holding the hairpin tightly, as if it were his last life-saving straw, Yuan Lai took a deep breath, suddenly opened the door, and then ran downstairs recklessly...

"Don't be afraid, Yuan Sheng, I'm here to save you!" Giving himself a charge slogan, Yuan Lai rushed down the stairs like a gust of wind.

When she came downstairs, the living room, which should have been dim, was now bright.

Under the light, a man sat steadily on the sofa with his back to her, his legs crossed leisurely.

Yuan Sheng and Mo Jingxin stood obediently in front of the man.

"Dad, I've said it many times, I will never go back!" Although Mo Jingxin's voice was firm, there was still a hint of fear in it.

For a moment, the entire living room seemed enveloped in an invisible, deathly silence. Yuan Lai's breathing, which had been so faint as to be almost inaudible, now echoed with unusual clarity in the silence.

"Say it again." The man's voice was so deep that it seemed to come from deep underground. The majesty contained in it made people feel awe. His innate strong aura was even stronger than Qi Rong and Song Qiyuan.

Mo Jingxin looked straight into the man's eyes without flinching and said firmly again: "I won't go back. I haven't had enough fun yet."

Hearing this, the man continued to ask: "Has the scholar been found?"

"Yeah." Mo Jingxin nodded slightly to show his affirmation.

However, the man's attention did not shift. He stretched out his hand, placed it a palm's length away from Mo Jingxin's chest, and asked, "Where's the necklace?"

Mo Jingxin replied, "I divided it into small bracelets and gave them away."

Yuan Laixia stood silently on the stairs and touched the inconspicuous bracelet on his wrist, thinking to himself: Could this seemingly ordinary bracelet be some rare treasure?

That can’t be possible. Mo Jingxin gave it to many people at the concert that day. If it was a treasure, it would be a huge loss.

Just as Yuan Lai's thoughts were in turmoil, an unexpected scene happened.

The man's body did not move, but his head seemed to be under a spell, turning rapidly towards Yuan Lai in a strange posture.

As the distance got closer, the blurry face gradually became clearer, and what horrified Yuan Lai was that the face looked exactly like hers!

"Ah!" Yuan Lai let out a heart-wrenching scream, his eyes went dark, his body fell straight backwards, and he fainted on the spot.

……

"Welcome to the midday news. This morning, a large passenger plane experienced a sudden malfunction mid-flight. The crew quickly implemented emergency measures and ultimately made a safe emergency landing. No one on board was injured at this time..."

Yuan Lai opened his eyes, his vision gradually clearing. Not far away, Yuan Sheng sat there, as steady as a thick city wall, the ground in front of him covered with a thick layer of melon seed shells.

"Why am I sleeping on the sofa?"

Yuan Sheng heard the noise and quickly swallowed the orange in her mouth. She turned around with a slightly flattering smile on her face: "Hey, sister, you're finally awake! Do you remember what happened last night? Jing Xin's father accidentally glanced at you, and you fainted on the stairs. Luckily, his father is a doctor, and he said you were just frightened. So we carried you here."

After hearing what his brother said, Yuan Lai was so angry that his teeth were itching. He raised his fist as big as a sandbag high and smashed it hard on the pillow beside him.

"There are so many empty rooms on the first floor, why do you insist on making me sleep on the sofa? Where are our parents? They won't care even if they come back?"

Facing his sister's questioning, Yuan Sheng seemed remarkably calm and replied casually, "Oh, my parents didn't come back. They must have stayed in a hotel."

Yuan Lai couldn't believe his ears and covered his chest with his hands. "Is there any justice in this world? Ah?"

She struggled to get up and noticed that she was only wearing a bracelet on her wrist. The colorful bracelet Mo Jingxin had given her was gone.

"Yuan Sheng, have you seen my bracelet? The colorful ones."

But I searched the whole house, whether on the stairs or in the living room, but there was no trace of the bracelet.

Yuan Sheng followed closely behind Yuan Lai, bending over and patrolling the floor, not missing any corner. Even Yuan Bao was brought over to help with the search.

Yuanbao sniffed excitedly, and his little figure strolled out of the house, jogging all the way, as if he had smelled some important clue.

Finally, Yuanbao stopped in front of a stone path outside the house, wagging his tail happily and making a "woof woof woof" sound from his mouth.

Yuan Lai and Yuan Sheng ran over and saw Yuan Bao picking up a red rope from the ground. Yuan Lai took the rope and took a closer look. There were still some black marks on it that were obviously burned.

"This isn't a bracelet, it's clearly just a red string." Yuan Sheng patted Yuan Bao's little head, "Yuan Bao, did you find the wrong one?"

Yuan Lai squatted down, staring at the unknown powder on the ground, an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

Her mental state was extremely unstable last night, so she mistakenly projected the scenes she saw in the live broadcast into reality.

However, now there is a voice deep in my heart that keeps asking: "Is it really just an illusion?"

Why is this bracelet here? Where are the beads on it?
