Chapter 32 A Kick from Behind



After the kiss, Pei Xia raised her body and pressed the small tooth mark on the side of Zhu Yuanqing's face, her eyes darkening as she said, "It's a little light."

Zhu Yuanqing wiped his chin and said unhappily, "How much more weight do you want? If it's any more obvious, I won't be able to face people."

Pei Xia put her face close to his, squinting her eyes comfortably: "Then dig out their eyes, so they won't be able to see."

"Brutal." Zhu Yuanqing laughed and asked, "We haven't been around for so long, how do they react?"

Pei Xia sat back in the chair, leaning his shoulder against the other person's, and nodded his chin. Two figures appeared in the air.

Li Dapeng and Xu Zhi hid in a dim little cubicle with serious expressions. It was unknown what they were communicating about. They said they would look around for a while.

"Let's do it." Li Dapeng nodded, picked up the mop at hand, opened the door and walked out.

Outside was a swimming pool covered in green algae, surrounded by dirt and yellowed brick walls.

If it weren't for the huge floor-to-ceiling window and the familiar structure, Zhu Yuanqing would not have realized that this was the swimming pool he had been to before.

He was about to speak, but before he could even ask a single word, the purple-black mulberries were thrust against his lips.

He swallowed the mulberries in one gulp. Li Dapeng and the other man had already reached the door and were pushing it open. His attention was diverted and he asked in confusion, "What are they doing?"

Pei Xia smiled and said, "Keep watching."

Afterwards, the two people in the picture were surprised to find that the door that could not be opened at all could actually be pushed open.

Li Dapeng threw away the mop in his hand, and Xu Zhi also threw the dirty gray towel aside, and the two of them tiptoed out the door.

They walked carefully down the stairs to the second floor. When they found that the kitchen door could be opened, they looked at each other and rushed in.

Xu Zhi looked extremely excited. He grabbed Wu Dong, who was squatting there doing nothing, and shouted, "I saw the gold coin!"

Wu Dong was shearing a sheep, his hands bloodied from being cut by a knife. Upon hearing this, he ignored the task at hand and stood up. "Are you serious?!"

"Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?" Xu Zhi said, "It was right in the swimming pool, Brother Peng and I saw it!"

Li Dapeng nodded in agreement.

Xu Zhi and Li Dapeng took Wu Dong out of the kitchen with a few words, and followed him on both sides, talking as they went upstairs.

When they arrived, Xu Zhi grabbed Wu Dong, who was rushing forward, and took out his own gold coins: "Hey, slow down!"

"It's so dangerous here, are you looking for death by running over like this?" Xu Zhi disapproved, shaking the gold coin. "Brother Peng doesn't have any, but the remaining one should be with you, right?"

Wu Dong pinched the corner of his clothes cautiously: "What do you mean?"

Xu Zhi slapped his shoulder and said contemptuously, "I told you to take the things with you before going over. Who knows what's in the pool? What if something suddenly pulls you in? Will you have time to use it?"

Wu Dong had never used gold coins before. After listening to him, he subconsciously thought that this thing was only useful when held in the hand. Then he looked at Li Dapeng next to him, who was holding a mop in one hand and a broom in the other, and looked fully armed.

He hesitated for a moment, then Li Dapeng frowned and walked forward with his things. "Let's make a deal, whoever grabs the gold coin first gets it. First come, first served!"

No one would complain about having too many life-saving things. Besides, the atmosphere in the villa today was particularly strange. During the mission, those ghosts did not cause trouble and they were even able to leave the mission site.

Thinking of the unknown current situation of Pei and Xia, Wu Dong gritted his teeth, took out the gold coins from the inner pocket of his green jacket, and kept pace with Li Dapeng.

He jogged all the way, the gold coins in his hand gave him great courage. He passed the two people in one breath and rushed to the edge of the pool to look around.

The surface of the pool was covered with algae, and the water was so murky that the bottom could not be seen clearly. Wu Dong leaned over to take a look, and his feet were getting closer and closer to the edge, with half of his body sticking out.

"Where is it? Where are the gold coins? I can't see them..."

Before he could finish his words, a hard fist hit him on the back of the head. When he was distracted, a hand grabbed Wu Dong's hand, pulled out the gold coin, and then kicked him in the lower back!

I was fooled!

Wu Dong's eyes were bloodshot, his body fell forward uncontrollably, and he sank silently into the pool.

Countless dark tentacles emerged from the bottom of the pool. Without a splash of water, and before he could even utter a scream, his body disappeared under the water.

Xu Zhi held the gold coins in his hand, licked the corner of his mouth, and his arms were shaking.

But the next second, a hand containing enormous strength pulled the things out of his palm.

Xu Zhi subconsciously resisted, but seeing Li Dapeng's ferocious face, he reluctantly withdrew his hand: "Brother Peng, you take it, you take it."

After getting the things, Li Dapeng looked at Xu Zhi's thing covetously, his eyes eager to take action.

Damn it! Xu Zhi took a step back and said quickly, "Brother Peng, Brother Peng, listen to me, wait a little longer, we still have one."

He hurried to explain, "Look, I found this gold coin in the bushes. Yan Qing died because of those flowers. Wu Dong's gold coin is probably from the attic."

"I'm going to make a wild guess. You probably have another gold coin?" Seeing Li Dapeng's expression change and no longer aggressive, Xu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "You probably found that one in the kitchen."

"Brother Peng, look, we have three dead people, and yet we found gold coins in the same place. Does that mean there's a gold coin for every death?"

Li Dapeng stopped and thought for a moment: "Do you have any evidence?"

Damn! A brainless muscleman. Xu Zhi cursed inwardly and forced a smile: "Why don't you take a closer look at the gold coins in your hand?"

Li Dapeng turned the gold coin over with half belief and half doubt, staring at it for a long time, and finally found a clue from the lines on it.

That's a woman in a skirt!

The closer he looked, the clearer the woman's appearance became. Li Dapeng even heard a sharp female voice in his ears, which was shrill and terrifying.

He almost threw the thing in his hand away before he believed what Xu Zhi said.

The two stood at a distance by the pool, observing any abnormalities that might occur in the pool, as Xu Zhi said.

They fell silent. Zhu Yuanqing looked away and said, "Xu Zhi still has some brains."

"I just discovered it now. Even if there is, it is probably underdeveloped." Pei Xia glanced at it and stopped looking. He pushed away the empty plate, let a few small balls carrying the lava cake come over, and handed over a spoon.

Zhu Yuanqing took it and blinked: "Shall we go scare them later?"

Pei Xia had no objection.
