Bai Ningning calmly hung up the video call, the noisy protests stopped abruptly, and the room became quiet instantly.
Bai Ningning silently put the phone upside down on the table: "Sorry, I was careless."
She shouldn't have considered treating everyone equally from the beginning. Chu Xisen was really stupid, not a wise man pretending to be stupid.
"It's too late."
Chu Yuyan's phone screen lit up, and the caller ID showed it was Chu Xisen.
Chu Xisen was probably used to being blocked, so he didn't try to see if he could still get through to Bai Ningning, and directly made a video call to Chu Yuyan.
He answered the phone and replied in a familiar, perfunctory manner: "Nothing, go ahead."
"What do you mean it's no big deal! That's limited edition merchandise! You know what limited edition means?"
Chu Xisen wailed loudly, and even though Chu Yuyan didn't turn on the loudspeaker, others could hear it clearly.
Chu Yuyan lied with his eyes open in a gentle tone: "Well, there was an earthquake just now, and the ground collapsed. I'll put it up for you in a while."
Chu Xisen believed it: "Is there an earthquake? Are there any injuries? I haven't received any news. Where is the epicenter? I'll ask my agent to arrange for donations."
He spoke very quickly, and the camera suddenly changed its angle of view, facing the ceiling diagonally above, accompanied by the clicking sound of the touch screen - he was already sending a message to someone.
Chu Hanzhou warned: "He is lying to you, don't believe him."
Chu Ze spoke almost at the same time as him: "There was a small earthquake in the villa. There was just a fight."
Chu Xisen breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that no one was injured."
Bai Ningning thought that this might be an angel, and she didn't even bother to pursue the matter of being cheated.
She asked, "Why don't you ask them why they are fighting?"
Chu Xisen smiled brightly, and was particularly confident about this matter: "They are all very sensible, there is no chance of them really fighting."
Seeing his bright smile, Chu Yuyan suddenly felt a little unhappy. With malicious intent, he pointed the camera at Bai Ningning and said, "I'm calling you to introduce you to our new family member, our sister."
Bai Ningning looked at the camera, hesitating whether to wave or call him brother?
But it feels weird.
Chu Xisen nodded calmly: "I know, she plays my sister in the variety show."
Chu Xisen was speechless. His two brothers looked so smart, so why couldn't they handle interpersonal relationships?
Judging from her expression, Bai Ningning obviously doesn't want to recognize her relatives yet. She is so anxious all of a sudden, isn't she afraid of scaring people away?
Really, at the critical moment, he, the youngest, has to smooth things over. Has he lived in vain for all these years?
He showed Bai Ningning the kindest smile of his life: "These people are a little weird. They have few friends and don't know how to communicate with others. Don't mind it."
The men in the room had different expressions, but without exception, they all had black air coming out of their heads - it was not ghostly air, but a terrifying aura that suggested some bad intentions.
Chu Xisen couldn't see it, but Bai Ningning saw it clearly.
Let’s observe two seconds of silence for Chu Xisen in advance.
Chu Xisen added, self-proclaimed maturely, "If they make you feel uncomfortable, you can complain to me and I will help you teach them a lesson."
"Who do you want to teach a lesson to?" Chu Ze snatched the phone and slammed his face against the screen.
The video on the mobile phone changed from Bai Ningning's small face to an enlarged eye that filled the entire screen, which scared Chu Xisen so much that he dropped his phone.
Chu Ze said disdainfully: "With this little courage, who else do you want to scare?"
Bai Ningning: “…”
Chu Yuyan smiled and added: "It's not what you think. She has already called me brother today."
Chu Ze boasted: "I called you dad too."
Chu Hanzhou coughed lightly.
[I’m dying of laughter. I’ve never called you “big brother” before!]
[Big brother waited for a long time, but Ningning was too shy to say anything.]
[If you take the initiative, there will be a story! Brother, you can take the initiative! ]
[Big brother might be afraid of scaring Ningning away]
However, Chu Xisen misunderstood the meaning of his cough, picked up the phone immediately, and tried to teleport through the screen.
"Really?" Chu Xisen was quite surprised, but to save face he shouted first, "I was the first one to shout. I've already shouted it on the variety show!"
Chu Hanzhou coughed twice again.
Good, he was the only one left behind.
"Brother, do you have a cold?" Chu Xisen, the little angel, obviously misunderstood and began to nag in a caring way, "The weather has been getting a bit cooler recently. You should wear more clothes and take vitamin C supplements to enhance your immunity."
Usually, when he showed concern for these men, he would only get answers like "yes", "okay", "got it", etc. He was used to it.
Then, changing the subject, she said with a smile, "--Ningning is the same. She's too thin. She needs to supplement her nutrition and eat more."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Sen."
The pronunciations of "San Ge" and "Sen Ge" are actually similar, but more people on the set called him Sen Ge, so she also called him that quite easily.
[Funny! This time, only the eldest brother is left behind.]
[Ningning, don't be partial]
[Big Brother may seem difficult to approach, but he's actually very easy to get along with.]
Bai Ningning: “…”
It feels like the comments are all fanning the flames.
Based on past experience, their crazy behavior is not a good thing.
She said sorry in her heart, and then asked Chu Xisen: "Are you busy over there?"
"I'm preparing for the concert, and it will be busy for a while." Chu Xisen really enjoyed the stage, so he smiled when he said this.
He said, "I'll mail you tickets. Special VIP seats. How about that?"
The call was silent for a second, and then a strong voice of objection was heard -
“No, no, no—”
“Absolutely not!”
"Leave it to someone who needs it, don't waste it on us."
Are you kidding? Everyone here has the constitution of a god of death or a god of bad luck. It is easy for someone to die in a large gathering place like a concert!
Among these people, perhaps only Chu Hanzhou can go.
Bai Ningning blinked, taking advantage of the fact that the comments were all "hahahaha", with no high-energy warnings or strange cheering -
Can I try to test the waters by secretly calling him "brother" while the barrage isn't paying attention?
Bai Ningning said casually, "Brother should be able to go. Please send him a ticket."
All the “hahahaha” in the barrage turned into “OH——”, which feels even more weird. Will anything bad happen?
Bai Ningning's cell phone suddenly rang with text message ringtones one after another. She opened them with a serious expression and was dumbfounded.
Five notifications of account arrival from the bank.
Each one is worth 200,000, and the balance keeps rising.
[It turns out that the boss's online banking transfer also has restrictions]
Shouldn't they just give me a black card or check?
[Checks still require cashing at the bank, which is a hassle. A bank transfer is more practical. —Brother, do you still need a sister?]
Chu Hanzhou's expression was a little stiff. He pushed his glasses to ease his tension and said, "A meeting gift."
Bai Ningning: “…”
It doesn't have to be so realistic.
She was not very good at accepting such unconditional kindness, especially such a large amount of money without any reason... let's call it a gift.
Unable to give a return gift of corresponding value, the psychological pressure suddenly increased.
Chu Hanzhou seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "You have to try to get used to it. After all, I have nothing but money."
As if deliberately seeking revenge, he emphasized, "He's very strange, he has no friends, and he doesn't know how to get along with others."
Chu Xisen on the other end of the phone suddenly felt a chill on his back. He smiled awkwardly, his finger hesitating on the red hang-up button, but he was reluctant to press it.
Bai Ningning hesitated for two seconds, then looked up and said "thank you".
Chu Xisen could only watch their interaction through the screen, and suddenly interrupted unhappily: "Hey, why are you guys getting together? I want to be together too. I'm not too busy at the moment."
"No thanks." Chu Yuyan directly cut off this possibility for him, "We are planning to move, so you should focus on preparing for the concert during this time and don't worry about us."
Chu Xisen said "Oh" softly and didn't argue any further.
It's not that he knows nothing, he's just too mature and sensible sometimes.
Bai Ningning coaxed: "Will the concert be live? Or recorded? We can listen to it."
Chu Xisen instantly regained his spirits, straightened his back, snapped his fingers handsomely, and said, "I have a good idea. There will be a rehearsal before the concert. There will be no audience, only staff. Would you consider coming?"
Bai Ningning: "Then remember to take them for a full physical examination and buy them insurance. Let them get a good rest before we go. Don't stay up late to work overtime, as it can easily lead to sudden death."
She fluently recited a series of requests. Chu Xisen was stunned for a moment, then realized that this meant she agreed to come. He happily said goodbye to them and went to arrange the preparations for the concert.
The video call ended, and Chu Ze's eyes twitched: "Are you very skilled?"
Bai Ningning: "It's a rehearsal, and we can also check the environment to prevent any sneakers from sneaking in."
After Bai Ningning finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment and felt a little depressed.
When did she begin to completely accept that her life was anything but ordinary?
The warm life did not last long.
Bai Ningning accepted her fate and asked the Chu family to move overnight.
She left a letter for the Yun family father and son and sent them to the Xuan Committee overnight.
The world of metaphysics was in turmoil, and everyone felt insecure for a while.
In a short period of time, the Yuan family was attacked and lost its head, the Gu family had a section of its outer wall collapsed and was forced to replace its door, the Jun family was sought after by someone and its head has been in a coma ever since, and even the Yun family who lived in seclusion in the mountains were not spared from being killed.
The Xuan Committee also felt a headache.
The half-dead Mr. Jun was sent to them for care.
The unconscious Yun family father and son were also sent here for care.
Is this some kind of sanatorium for the metaphysical world?!
Each one is a hot potato.
If they save him, you won't get any credit, and if he dies at their hands, you'll have to take the blame.
To make matters worse, the underworld informed them to wait and see - meaning, don't get involved in this mess.
Tang Bai, a frontline combatant, asked Lu Sifeng unhappily, "What is the attitude of the underworld?"
These attacks were obviously large-scale haunted incidents, but the underworld issued a notice, and the Xuan Committee actually refused to allow an investigation.
Lu Sifeng remained silent, and Tang Bo became even more annoyed. He asked irritably, "Has this really become a nursing home? They only send the elderly, the weak, and the disabled here. Who sends them here?"
Lu Sifeng was handling paperwork and said slowly, "The Underworld's intention."
When the underworld was mentioned, Tang Bo became even angrier.
Like an elementary school teacher, Lu Sifeng slowly led her students through the analysis. She said, "The Yun family was occupied, the database was burned, they had ghost handprints on their bodies, and suddenly appeared at our door. Use your brain, it's obvious that the Ghost Alliance was hurting people, and they were saving people. Understand?"
Tang Bo: "Then why should I be here to keep watch for them?"
Lu Sifeng coaxed him: "Do you think you can be stronger than the head of the Jun or Yuan family? The ghost who attacked is stronger, but the underworld can rescue people from him. Either they are in the same group, or the underworld is more powerful now."
Tang Bo felt that her analysis made sense, but he could not agree with the conclusion she came to.
When did the Underworld become stronger? It couldn't possibly have suddenly become stronger just because of an outside helper, right?
Tang Bo was even more convinced that the answer was the former, and asked, "So the underworld directed and performed this show itself?"
Lu Sifeng rolled his eyes at him, thinking that his brain might be beyond saving.
She said, "If they were really in cahoots, why would they go to so much trouble? To deceive us? Do we deserve it?"
Tang Bo couldn't refute and was depressed alone. He thought about the last time the door to the underworld opened, and the purple ripples that suddenly spread out took away the ghost in his hand without leaving any trace.
I guess that must be the new foreign aid from the underworld.
I don’t know where it came from.
Did it appear out of nowhere? Or did it suddenly grow after being buried in the ground for years?
He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and asked, "Is it possible that the evil spirits wreaking havoc everywhere were released by the underworld? Are they seeking revenge against the metaphysical community? That's why they want us to stay out of this."
Lu Sifeng didn't bother to pay attention to his idiotic train of thought and rolled his eyes at him: "It doesn't matter. What matters is that we have to board the ship to the underworld."
