Grandpa Fu shook his head: "He didn't say anything, just that you can deliver it there."
Chu Yu responded with an "oh," but she had a feeling that things weren't so simple.
Seeing her nervous look, Grandpa Fu smiled and said, "Your master's words are always very accurate. There must be a reason for his arrangement. There's no rush for this delivery. When you have time tomorrow, go to the sanatorium with Yun Che to see Xiao Shuo and bring him the things."
Chu Yu nodded, looking at the magnificent house, and asked curiously, "If you were to be reincarnated, what would happen to this house?"
Grandpa Fu explained calmly, "This residence is one of the Fu family's ancestral properties in the underworld. After the Fu family head passes away, he can come here to live for a period of time. After they leave, all the ancestral properties will be left to the next family head."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Yu's eyes.
This mansion is actually one of the Fu family's ancestral properties in the underworld, and the next heir is Fu Yunche.
Fu Yunche, despite his young age, not only inherited a vast fortune in the mortal realm but also a huge fortune in the underworld, making him extremely wealthy both in life and after death.
That's so enviable.
Twenty minutes later, Chu Yu said goodbye to Grandpa Fu and rode away on her electric scooter.
The delivery fee this time was 30,000 ghost money. The old man wanted to give more, but Chu Yu refused.
Not long after, Chu Yu left Ghost City and returned to Jade Fortune Garden.
It was a little past seven in the evening. Chu Yu hadn't had dinner yet and was a bit hungry. She went to the restaurant and saw Fu Yunche sitting to the side waiting for her.
Seeing her approach, he smiled gently and said, "You're back. Dinner is ready. Go wash your hands and come eat."
Chu Yu felt a warmth in her heart. Fu Yunche had actually waited for her to come back for dinner. She said a little shyly, "You don't need to wait for me. You can eat first if you're hungry."
I wasn't very hungry just now.
Fu Yunche has gotten used to eating with Chu Yu. If he eats alone, he feels he has no appetite.
The servants set the food on the table. The meal was plentiful and consisted of all of Chu Yu's favorite dishes.
As always, Fu Yunche thoughtfully served her food.
While eating, Chu Yu told him about how Old Master Fu had entrusted her to deliver a longevity lock to Fu Zishuo.
Fu Yunche felt a little guilty upon hearing this: "I've been busy with my illness and company matters lately, and I haven't been able to visit Xiao Shuo. Since Grandpa has asked for it, let's go to the sanatorium to see him together tomorrow morning."
Chu Yu nodded: "Okay."
Fu Yunche's phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and answered it. After the call, his expression darkened.
"Something happened at the sanatorium. I'm going there to handle it. You eat well, and I'll come back after I've dealt with it."
After giving the order, he got up and walked towards the door.
Chu Yu lost her appetite and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Fu Yunche rubbed his temples and replied somewhat impatiently, "The sanatorium called to say that Xiao Shuo is missing. They've searched the entire sanatorium but haven't found him. I need to take some people over there to help look for him."
Chu Yu's brow twitched.
It's late at night, and Fu Zishuo has disappeared!
She stood up and said, "I'll go with you. I can use the tracking talisman to help find people, it'll be faster."
Fu Yunche's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Okay, let's go together. There are snacks in the car, you can eat some after you get in."
"Um."
Chu Yu and Fu Yunche left in a hurry.
...
Western suburbs, along the moat.
Two fishermen, holding flashlights, sat by the river fishing.
It was nearly 9 p.m., and there were hardly any people by the river; the surroundings were completely silent.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, and black mist rose from the river.
Fisherman A looked out over the river and vaguely saw a long-haired woman in a white dress floating on the surface. He was startled, but upon closer inspection, the woman had vanished.
He couldn't help but shudder and asked the fisherman B anxiously, "Old Huang, did you see anyone on the river just now?"
Fisherman B looked up at the river and shook his head: "I can't see it."
Old A, the fisherman, looked puzzled. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he felt a chill run down his spine: "I heard that corpses often float down this river. A few days ago, Old Wang came here to fish in the middle of the night and actually caught a female corpse. He called the police. The day before yesterday, when he came here to fish, he suddenly had a heart attack, fell into the river, and drowned. Some people say that this is a water ghost looking for him to take its place."
Fisherman B shuddered when he heard this: "I've heard that too. This area has been rather unsettled lately. I've been fishing here for two or three days and haven't caught anything. It's really weird. Maybe we should leave. We don't want to end up with no fish and being used as a substitute by a water ghost."
"You're right, let's go."
The two quickly packed up their fishing gear and left.
They hadn't walked far when a little boy appeared at the intersection not far away.
The little boy looked about four or five years old, dressed in a light blue casual children's outfit. He had fair skin and delicate features, like a little doll in a New Year's painting, tender and cute.
His gaze was vacant, like a marionette, as he walked step by step toward the riverbank, where a seductive female voice came from the water.
"Xiao Shuo, Xiao Shuo, come to Mommy quickly."
"Mother……"
He called out with lingering affection and quickened his pace.
He came to the riverbank and looked into the river. The water was deep and the current was rapid.
A chilling wind blew up, and the surrounding black mist grew thicker and thicker. The voice became more urgent: "Xiao Shuo, jump down quickly and come to Mommy."
Fu Zishuo, swayed by the suggestion, was about to jump when a frantic shout suddenly came from not far behind him: "Xiao Shuo, don't jump!"
However, Fu Zishuo ignored him and jumped into the river.
The moment he fell into the water, a whirlpool instantly formed on the river's surface, and Fu Zishuo was swept into it and carried to the depths of the river.
The icy river water rushed into Fu Zishuo's mouth and nose, and he suddenly woke up. He struggled in the water in terror. Just then, a female ghost in white with long hair swam over from the other side.
She looked at Fu Zishuo gently, a loving smile on her lips: "Little Shuo, don't be afraid, Mom will take you to paradise."
She reached out her hand to Fu Zishuo, who became confused again, gave up struggling, and reached out his small hand to pull her.
The female ghost took his hand, gave a sinister laugh, and swam towards the depths. The seaweed at the bottom of the river swayed excitedly, like an evil phantom.
After swimming for a while, the gentle female ghost suddenly changed her expression, transforming into a fierce ghost with a blue face, fangs, and sharp claws.
"You are my substitute. From now on, you will stay in this river in my place."
She gave a sinister laugh and grabbed Fu Zishuo by the neck. In that critical moment, a talisman suddenly fell into the water and exploded with a bang.
The female ghost screamed and was blasted out of the water.
The next second, a woman jumped into the water, quickly swam to Fu Zishuo, grabbed him, and swam towards the surface of the river with him.
When they surfaced, the female ghost came to her senses and roared, "You dare to try and steal my life? You're asking for death!"
