Ten first-level guards were divided into two teams, one team investigating the situation outside the kitchen, and the other team investigating the situation inside. After a thorough investigation for a full thirty minutes, they confirmed that nothing was missed. The leader of the first-level guards then reported truthfully: "Master Pei, nothing unusual has been observed."
After hearing this, Ji Yuqi immediately said excitedly: "How could there be no abnormality?! I clearly saw a ghost, she was standing outside the window."
"Ms. Ji, the night lighting system is always very dim. Could you have seen it wrong?!" the leader asked.
Ji Yuqi said: "If it was just once, there might be a possibility that I saw it wrong, but I saw it over and over again five times."
She admitted that she felt a little unwell, but not to the point of hallucinations.
She would definitely not be wrong.
After listening to Ji Yuqi's rebuttal, the first-class guard said nothing and just looked up at the man sitting on the sofa.
Obviously waiting for Pei Yucheng's instructions.
There were obviously many people in the hall, but suddenly, it fell into a terrible silence.
Ji Yuqi bit his lip and stood silently for a while. He seemed to have thought of something and said quickly, "Check the surveillance. There is a surveillance camera in the kitchen that is pointed at that window..."
When she caught Pei Yucheng's gaze, she was suddenly choked.
"The Pei family's first-class guards are much more accurate than surveillance. Since they didn't find anything, would surveillance with blind spots be useful?!" Pei Yucheng's voice was light, but also cold, revealing a strong sense of displeasure.
Ji Yuqi wanted to argue again: "She is a female ghost, of course there will be no marks on the ground..."
"Female ghost?!" Pei Yucheng, who had been lazily leaning on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight, his eyes sharp and terrifying. "You still believe that ghosts exist in this world?! Ji Yuqi, have you never been to school?!"
"..." After being scolded, Ji Yuqi suddenly bit her lip and looked at the man on the sofa.
She felt so wronged that tears were about to fall.
All in all, he would rather trust the guard than her.
Aunt Liu was still confused and didn't understand the situation.
However, when she saw Ji Yuqi's eyes reddened by Pei Yucheng's scolding, she quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "The young master's illness is already tiring, and Miss Ji didn't get enough rest while taking care of him, so it's understandable that she made a mistake."
Ji Yuqi said stubbornly: "I am not mistaken."
“…”Aunt Tong.
Seeing Ji Yuqi being so stubborn, Liu Tong first observed Pei Yucheng's expression, then said, "Young Master, how about we just follow Miss Ji's lead and check the surveillance footage. If something really happened, the Yu Mansion can't afford such a huge risk."
Surveillance, indeed checked.
But, strangely, there was nothing abnormal.
Not only did the surveillance camera aimed at the window fail to capture the incident, but all the surveillance cameras in the kitchen failed to capture it.
Ji Yuqi even enlarged the surveillance camera aimed at the refrigerator.
There was no reflection on the refrigerator.
Could it be that I really saw it wrong? !
"Have you given up?!" Pei Yucheng's emotionless and cold voice sounded solemnly, "If you still don't give up, you can continue to make trouble and check all the surveillance cameras in the entire palace one by one."
"..."Ji Yuqi was so shocked by Pei Yucheng that he almost stopped breathing.
Pei Yucheng went upstairs with a gloomy face.
When the people in the hall saw Pei Yucheng going upstairs, they all dispersed.
Liu Tong saw the woman biting her lips with red eyes, sighed helplessly, and turned away.
Finally, the maid in charge of locking the door during curfew said, "Don't you think our young master is not busy enough or tired enough? He doesn't even need a break because of you."
Aunt Liu frowned upon hearing this: "Do you even understand the rules?! Is this the attitude you should have towards the eldest young master's wife?!"
