"How can this be so embarrassing?" Boss Li said politely, "Don't worry, Miss Lan. I will definitely send Miss Lan home safely after this is over!"
"That's too troublesome. How about you drive in front and we follow behind! Don't worry, since I have taken on this job for you, I will definitely help you do it properly and will not run away halfway!" Lan Ziye said seriously.
"That's not what I meant, that's not what I meant!" Boss Li said with an embarrassed smile.
Since Lan Ziye said so, he couldn't force him, so he nodded and agreed. He sent a location to the driver, and then slowed down his car in front to help Lan Ziye and the taxi driver lead the way.
Soon, Boss Li brought Lan Ziye to his home community, Lanyue Community.
After parking the car, the taxi driver said he would wait for Lan Ziye in the car, so Lan Ziye went upstairs alone with Boss Li.
Boss Li got to his door before Lan Ziye did, and rang the doorbell. As he did so, he explained, "Those mice only appear at night, not during the day. My wife is the only one home now, and ever since the mouse incident, she rarely goes out!"
The door opened quickly.
Lan Ziye saw Mrs. Li, looking haggard yet still breathtakingly beautiful. However, her beauty was strange and unnatural. She couldn't quite pinpoint what was strange about it, but it was probably plastic surgery! Since arriving in this era, Lan Ziye had learned a great deal about it, including plastic surgery, the magical technique that effectively replaced one's face.
"Who is this?" Mrs. Li asked warily.
"She is our company's new sales manager. She is here to get some information. You should go back to your room and have a rest first!" Boss Li said as he walked into the house pretending to be relaxed.
"Why did you bring outsiders home? The house is in a bad state now..." Mrs. Li complained in a low voice with a dissatisfied look on her face.
"It's okay. I've already told Manager Lan that the nanny is on vacation recently, and the house is a bit messy. It's okay!" Boss Li said, turning back to Lan Ziye politely, "Manager Lan, come in!"
Mrs. Li glanced at Lan Ziye again, looking helpless, and turned back to her room.
But the moment she turned around, Lan Ziye's brows were tightly furrowed. There was a very faint demonic aura. If she had not caught countless demons and often dealt with big demons in the forest when she was a child, she would not have been able to smell it at all.
According to Boss Li's story, Lan Ziye was certain that there must be an evil spirit at work here. But even if there was an evil spirit, how could this evil spirit linger on Mrs. Li? Mrs. Li was a serious person!
"What's the matter, Miss Lan?" Boss Li saw Lan Ziye staring at his wife's back in a daze, and asked with doubt in his heart.
"It's okay!" Lan Ziye smiled faintly and walked into the house.
Lan Ziye looked around and walked to Mrs. Li's room.
Lan Ziye was just about to take a step closer to take a closer look when Boss Li blocked the doorway. He lowered his voice and said with a smile, "This is the only room in the house where we haven't seen any mice. Don't check this one, there won't be any problems!" He paused and explained, "My wife is in the room! I can't explain it!"
Lan Ziye raised a sneer and looked at Boss Li, "Why are there rats everywhere but not in this room? Don't you find it strange?"
"Aren't mice timid? Maybe it's because of someone!" Boss Li said weakly.
