Chapter 172 Haunted House
"Hubby, this is—"
When Qian Pengze's wife Li Mandong saw Zhong Nian Yao, her eyes were full of confusion.
"Mandong, this is Miss Zhong, whom I mentioned to you before." Qian Pengze quickly introduced her. "She was the one who bought my compass. She was also the one who reminded me that our family—"
Although she didn't finish her words, Li Mandong already understood what she meant. Previously, she did know that the compass had been bought, which was why she had the money for treatment. Later, after so many things happened at home, her husband remembered that the person who bought the compass had warned him.
After that, the two of them decided that Miss Zhong must be a master, and she had real skills. The husband had been to Tongtian Bridge for several days and hadn't found her. Unexpectedly, she brought her here today.
However, what surprised her was that Miss Zhong was so young.
For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
However, she was not stupid and knew that she couldn't say it so bluntly, so she just smiled and said, "I didn't expect Miss Zhong to be so young!"
"Don't underestimate her youth, she's quite capable."
Although Qian Pengze had never personally witnessed Zhong Nianyao's abilities, he had heard a lot about them at Tongtian Bridge, so he now had great confidence in her abilities. Of course, there was another, more important point: he had placed his only hope on Zhong Nianyao. So, he had no choice but to trust her.
Zhong Nianyao didn't care whether Li Mandong trusted her or not. One of the important reasons why she was willing to make a move was that the compass Qian Pengze sold her was indeed a good thing.
If Qian Pengze hadn't had a family accident, he wouldn't have sold such an heirloom. Although she had already paid, she felt that she had gotten a good deal, so she was willing to sell it this time.
After saying hello, Zhong Nianyao said directly, "Let's go see your son first, and then go to your house!"
"Are you still going home?" Li Mandong was a little surprised. "Is there something wrong at home?"
As she spoke, she became a little nervous.
"We don't know yet!" Qian Pengze quickly spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, you'll know after Miss Zhong goes to see your family. All you have to do now is to rest and recuperate."
"Then I'll go too!" Li Mandong said, "I can't be of much use in the hospital anyway, so I might as well go back and take a look. That way I'll feel more at ease."
Qian Pengze was very worried and didn't want to agree, but in the end he couldn't persuade Li Mandong and had to process the procedures for her temporary discharge from the hospital.
Zhong Nianyao on the side did not interrupt. She came here just to solve Qian Pengze's problem, and other matters were not her responsibility.
After taking a look at Qian Pengze's son outside the ward, they all went to Qian's house together.
Zhong Nianyao followed Qian Pengze and Li Mandong to an upscale residential area.
Qian Pengze bought the house when he was still running a shop. If Zhong Nianyao had not bought the compass, his family might have really had to sell the house to pay for medical treatment.
Therefore, no matter whether Zhong Nian Yao has real ability or not, Qian Pengze and Li Mandong are still very grateful to her in their hearts.
As soon as she entered the door, Zhong Nian Yao felt a chill.
Qian Pengze and Li Mandong seemed to be completely unaware, with no change on their faces.
"Your house is really cool!" Zhong Nianyao said meaningfully, "Don't you feel uncomfortable living here?"
"How could that be?" Li Mandong shook his head. "We chose this apartment because it's so cool! You don't know, even in the summer, we rarely use the air conditioner. This natural temperature is the most comfortable."
"Yes!" Qian Pengze nodded, and then continued, "We are all very satisfied with this house."
"You guys are really generous." Zhong Nianyao looked at Qian Pengze and Li Mandong with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. "I just want to ask, when you bought this house, did you find it by chance, or was it recommended to you by someone else?"
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's expression, Qian Pengze and Li Mandong couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts. "Miss Zhong, are you saying that there's something wrong with our house?"
Although it was a question, the tone they used was affirmative because they had already seen the clues from Zhong Nianyao's tone and expression.
"This house was recommended to me by a brother of mine," Qian Pengze said. "Back then, we even treated him to a meal because of this matter!"
"Miss Zhong, what happened to our house?" Li Mandong was very anxious. "Is it because of this house that our family has ended up in this situation?"
"Hmm..." Zhong Nianyao thought for a moment before continuing, "You can say it is, and you can also say it is not. It is part of the reason!"
After considering it for a while, Zhong Nianyao spoke again, "Well, actually, is this house a haunted house?"
"What?"
Qian Pengze and Li Mandong exclaimed at the same time, and then shuddered at the same time.
The cool feeling just now has now turned into a biting chill in their hearts.
"That's impossible!" Qian Pengze forced a smile. "Before buying this house, I had already inquired about it. Nothing has ever happened to this house!"
He wasn't stupid. Although a friend had recommended the house to him, he'd done some research before buying it. After all, the price he'd paid for the house was a bit lower than the market price. He was also worried about whether there might be something wrong with the house.
After some inquiries, he found nothing and felt relieved.
For this matter, he was very grateful to his friend and later gave him a considerable introduction fee.
Li Mandong didn't say anything, but her face turned very bad.
"This is indeed a haunted house." Zhong Nianyao said soothingly, "But you don't need to worry too much. There are no ghosts in this house, only the resentment of the victims."
"The person who was killed held a deep grudge. Even after being taken away by the underworld, the resentment still lingered. Although that resentment was quite strong, it wasn't enough to turn your family into this state. At most, it would only make your spirits a little weaker, and cause you to suffer from more minor illnesses like colds and coughs."
Qian Pengze immediately reacted, "Ms. Zhong, you mean that the reason our family has become like this is because of other reasons."
