"Back then it was chaotic, there were people everywhere, and everyone was shouting. We all wanted to shout several times louder, and we were all sweating profusely. How could we have known about the eerie and chilly atmosphere?"

Ge Ping'an thought about it carefully and said, "I did hear someone mention before that three households, a total of 19 people, were killed there. They guessed it was done by a wanted criminal on the run?"

Chu Zhifeng perked up as well: "Right, right, and the wanted criminal still hasn't been caught, right?"

Old Song asked weakly, "What is it?"

They both looked at him.

"Old Song, do you know the inside story?"

"I only found out a little bit," Old Song said, taking a sip of tea. "They weren't wanted criminals. Those three families were related, and they probably did something impulsive that led to the killings. The murderer eventually committed suicide."

After a pause, Old Song frowned: "That's not right. A lot of people were talking about this case before, and it seems that they deliberately released information later to reduce the impact. Didn't you know?"

Ge Pingan shook his head: "Back then, we were so busy we barely had time to breathe, who had time to care about this?"

Chu Zhifeng chuckled: "I might have a bad memory."

Old Song glanced sideways.

Then he asked, "So that tenement building became a haunted building? How so? I didn't know that?"

Ge Ping'an met his gaze and quickly waved his hand, "Don't look at me, I don't know anything."

The two looked at Chu Zhifeng simultaneously, who coughed lightly: "Neither of you know, then I..."

Upon spotting Su Chen and Xiao Liu'er returning, Chu Zhifeng quickly greeted them and hurried out.

Ge Ping'an clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"What big order? I think Xiao Chu is just bored."

Su Chen saw Chu Zhifeng smiling as he lifted the large bag in his hand: "I just bought a lot of snacks, want some?"

Chu Zhifeng didn't stand on ceremony and took the bag, quickly pulling out two packets of peanuts. He then pointed inside and said, "Master Su, would you like to come in for tea?"

"Wait a moment, I'll make some milk for Ayun."

The little guy was placed on the table, lying on his stomach with his head tilted back, his big, dark eyes constantly looking curiously at Lao Song and Lao Ge.

"Ah, ah..."

After barking twice, drool dripped all over the table.

Ge Ping'an took out a handkerchief to wipe him clean, waiting for Su Chen to come over and breastfeed the little one before asking, "Master Su, has anyone asked you to clean up the haunted building recently?"

Su Chen overheard part of their conversation and asked, "What about that tenement building that Brother Chu mentioned that's going to be converted into a hotel?"

"Wow, those tenement buildings are really dangerous?"

Su Chen shook his head with a smile: "I've never been there, how would I know if it's fierce or not?"

The gaze fell on Chu Zhifeng, who had picked out tea leaves again. The latter coughed lightly and said, "I... I heard it too. They said that almost all of the people who went in to check were gone. Only one tough guy managed to get out, but he went crazy too."

Ge Ping'an frowned: "Where did you get this information? How come we didn't know about it?"

Chu Zhifeng put down the tea leaves and started boiling water. Hearing this, he glanced at Ge Ping'an and said, "The boss of Renmin University bought the building to build a hotel. If people find out about this, it's no wonder the hotel business will be bad. He'll definitely make sure people keep quiet and don't spread the word."

"So, how did you know?" Old Song pressed.

"Cough cough cough~" Chu Zhifeng cleared his throat and said seriously, "That boss thought it was weird, so he was asking around for a master. Well, I have a high alcohol tolerance, so I got the guy who was asking around drunk."

"You guys think this boss is strange. Who in Shanghai doesn't know that Master Su is the most powerful? Instead of coming to him, he goes to find other masters..."

Chu Zhifeng looked at Su Chen: "Master Su, do you think this boss is trying to kill those masters?"

Upon hearing this, Ge Pingan suddenly realized what was happening.

"Is that why you rushed over?"

Chu Zhifeng waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I just like joining in the fun. Lao Ge, you have no idea how bored I've been lately~"

Since he stopped washing his feet, many people no longer invite him to drink.

Su Chen rubbed Xiao Ayun's little feet and met Chu Zhifeng's gaze. The latter asked softly, "Master Su, is this something you should be involved in?"

"Let's talk about it later, have some tea first."

After all, the exorcism team in Shanghai isn't just sitting idly by; if things had really escalated this much, they should have been informed by now.

He took the bag of snacks and took out the beef jerky.

"Oh, how come I didn't notice there was jerky? This is delicious."

Chu Zhifeng couldn't wait to open it, and gave a piece to Lao Song, Ge Pingan, and Su Chen. He squinted and started eating, and after a while, he gave Su Chen a thumbs up.

"As expected of you, Master Su, it's delicious!"

Meanwhile, in a bungalow by the river.

The young man, who had been sitting with his legs crossed and a toothpick in his mouth, immediately became furtive after his stepmother got up and left.

First, he winked at the girl sitting opposite him, then rushed to the door and secretly observed for a while. After watching her leave, he quietly closed the door.

"Xiao Hua, your acting skills are amazing!"

The girl blushed as he praised her: "It's because you taught me well."

The young man grabbed her hand and gave her a forced high five before sitting down again.

"Now we just have to wait for them to bleed money so we can get married."

"Once we get the money, we'll have to find another excuse to move out and live on our own."

"You have no idea how ruthless my stepmother is. You're too naive; you'll definitely be bullied if you stay in this house..."

Lin Xiaohua nodded obediently: "I'll do whatever you say."

The young man paused, coughed lightly, and looked away: "You, you shouldn't always listen to me. You can make your own decisions about some things."

"You're better!"

The young man was overjoyed by these words.

He didn't even notice the toothpick he was holding in his mouth fall out.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Is anyone home? Is Xiufen home?

The girl asked curiously, "Xiufen?"

The young man frowned and stood up: "It's my mother. Who is it? Don't you know my mother died a long time ago?"

He stormed out, opened the door, and saw a man in a moon-white robe standing there.

The man looked him up and down and asked, "You're... Xiufen's son, right?"

"Who are you?" the young man asked warily. "What do you want with my mother?"

I wondered if this was a relative from my mother's side?

But that unreliable old man had already said that there was no one left in the Yan family.

The man didn't answer him, his gaze lingering on his face, before finally letting out a sigh.

"Xiufen is gone!"

"No, who exactly are you? A distant relative of my mother?"

The man shook his head: "I am her grandfather."

Click!

The young man pulled the bolt off the door.

He picked at his ear incredulously: "Say it again?"

The man wasn't annoyed; he just smiled and said, "You heard me right, I'm your mother's grandfather."

The young man smiled.

He quickly straightened his face again, pointed at himself, and said, "Do you think I'm blind or stupid?"

"With a face like yours, you're my mother's grandfather and my great-grandfather?"

"Damn it..." Suddenly remembering something, the young man rushed out and roared, "Chen Quan, Niu Lili, was it you? Get out here!"

"Who gave you permission to joke about my mother? Get out here right now!"
