1811 Old Liang Family Residence, Lu Ningwen’s Lingering Fear

“I… I’m fine!” Fang Yu stuttered, yet he looked like he was about to faint. Lu Ningwen and Qi Hao jumped in fright.

The two hurriedly helped him into the room and placed him on the couch. Fang Yu’s face didn’t improve much. He suddenly grabbed Qi Hao’s hand tightly, scaring Qi Hao. He heard the other party say agitatedly and somewhat panickedly, “Celestial… Celestial Master Chi, I have something to tell her!”

“My sister-in-law just went out. We’ll talk later.” Qi Hao hurriedly comforted him and looked at Lu Ningwen. The two of them couldn’t imagine what Fang Yu had to say to Qi Hao’s sister-in-law.

Qi Hao was about to ask, but Fang Yu was still gripping his hand tightly and wouldn’t let go. The strength in his grip was astonishing, and Qi Hao felt his bones hurt a little. He heard the other party say incoherently, “The day before yesterday… Zhou… Zhou Chengfei came to find me. I went to his room, and… when I went to the washroom, there were bugs and eggs everywhere. It was too scary, really too scary.”

At that point, it was as if Fang Yu had returned to Zhou Chengfei’s room. His pupils contracted in fear and his eyes were filled with panic and tension. He couldn’t recover for a long time. It was Lu Ningwen who patted his shoulder to calm him down, and Fang Yu continued, “I… I was scared at that time. I wanted to leave, but Zhou Chengfei kept pulling me back. Later, Xiao Ying, yes, her, she was looking for Zhou Chengfei and asked me to leave. After I… after I left, Xiao Ying disappeared the next day!”

Although Fang Yu stuttered and was a bit incoherent, Qi Hao could still understand what he was getting at. After listening to Fang Yu, Qi Hao was silent for a long while before he took a deep breath.

Lu Ningwen sucked in a breath of cold air.

Zhou Chengfei had also admitted that Xiao Ying had gone to his room. Lu Ningwen hadn’t thought much of it at that time, but thinking about Xiao Ying’s disappearance now and what happened to Zhou Chengfei that morning, Zhou Chengfei had most likely no longer been human by then. Also, his target that night had probably been Fang Yu. Then, Xiao Ying appeared by chance, and took Fang Yu’s place!

Before what happened to Zhou Chengfei that morning, Lu Ningwen still thought that there was a chance that Xiao Ying was still alive. Now, however, he was certain that Xiao Ying was probably dead.

He really rejoiced at Fang Yu’s good luck, but also sympathized with his misfortune.

No wonder Fang Yu’s face had been especially unsightly and pale when he came back that night. Lu Ningwen had asked a few questions – who knew if Fang Yu had been too frightened, but he hadn’t said a word.

Lu Ningwen couldn’t help but ask. Fang Yu said tearfully, “I… At that time, although I felt that the things in Zhou Chengfei’s room were very strange and scary, I didn’t dwell on it – I didn’t dare to. Moreover, after that night, I kept feeling that Zhou Chengfei would stare at me from time to time, which made me especially nervous!”

Lu Ningwen finally understood why it seemed like Fang Yu had been avoiding Zhou Chengfei after that night, and wouldn’t let Lu Ningwen talk to him.

He thought about how Zhou Chengfei had fallen into the well that night, and how Du Zhong kept saying that Zhou Chengfei wasn’t human, and had suddenly left. At that time, he thought that Du Zhong had been provoked by some nonsense. Now that he thought about it, Du Zhong had probably been telling the truth.

He had probably seen something he shouldn’t have in the well, which was why he ran away in fright.

Thinking about how he had spoken to Zhou Chengfei a few times a few days ago, Lu Ningwen felt a chill run down his spine. His limbs and bones were cold. He was now glad that the other party hadn’t come to his room when he was alone. Otherwise, he would probably have died.

The more he thought about some things, the more he didn’t dare dwell on them, and the colder his back felt. Lu Ningwen was quite brave, but his limbs now felt a little cold.

“Are you okay, Brother Lu?” Qi Hao hurriedly said when he saw that Lu Ningwen had also been agitated by what Fang Yu said.

Lu Ningwen quickly came back to his senses and forced a smile. “I… I’m fine.”

Seeing that Fang Yu really wasn’t in good condition, Lu Ningwen told him to go back to his room and rest first. Before Fang Yu left, he didn’t forget to repeatedly tell Qi Hao to let Celestial Master Chi know about Zhou Chengfei’s room.

“Okay, I understand, don’t worry!”

After closing the door, Lu Ningwen and Qi Hao sat in the living room. Who knew if it was because he had learned the truth, but Lu Ningwen was especially flustered and his face looked especially bad.

It was fine if he didn’t think too deeply about it; the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, especially since it was already 3 or 4pm. Soon, it would be the evening.

Moreover, there was no more sunlight here at 3 or 4pm, so it was already a little dark outside. From this window, the big courtyard outside looked a little eerie and strangely quiet. Lu NIngwen’s heart felt cold and he couldn’t sit still.

He was very worried that something terrifying would happen tonight. Although Celestial Master Chi had some skills, he didn’t know how capable she was, and she was the only one who could do anything.

Qi Hao didn’t know about Lu Ningwen’s worries at that moment, nor did he understand the inside story. He couldn’t help but say, “What on earth were the two of you referring to just now? By the way, were Xiao Ying and Zhou Chengfei a couple?”

It was rare for Qi Hao to gossip.

Lu Ningwen recounted how Fang Yu had narrowly escaped death a couple of nights ago, and briefly explained that Xiao Ying and Zhou Chengfei were promoted as a couple by the production team. Qi Hao now understood how Xiao Ying had become Fang Yu’s replacement. He couldn’t help but gasp at the thought that if it wasn’t for that Xiao woman, Fang Yu would probably be dead by now.

Seeing that Lu Ningwen’s face was already unsightly, Qi Hao didn’t want to say anything to agitate him, and only said that he would tell his sister-in-law about this.

Before Lu Ningwen left, he suddenly pulled at Qi Hao and said, “Brother Qi, you were right when you told us to be careful of Du Zhong; he’s not a good person, so don’t trust him. Celestial Master Chi can believe some of his words, but it’s best to be more on guard against him.”
