Chapter 450: Burning Paper Money at Midnight
The security guards received Qin Chaotian's order and did not dare to let Chu Siran in. They could only say with a bitter face, "Auntie, please don't make things difficult for us servants. We are a group of small security guards who are supposed to guard the door. How can we let you in?"
Chu Siran sighed helplessly, "I already said, I'm here to look for my sister. I'm just going in to take a look. I'm not stealing or robbing, and I certainly won't mess up anything in this house. You guys! Are you all so clueless? You're inflexible."
"Auntie, this is our duty. If we let you in, Mr. Qin will definitely hold us accountable. We are just trying to make a living. If you want to find someone, why don't you wait for Mr. Qin to come and ask him in person?" The security guard kept saying these few words over and over again.
Chu Siran saw that she had collapsed to the ground, but the security guard still refused to let her in. She felt even more certain that Chu Xi was inside. She patted her butt, got up from the ground, and rushed in without thinking twice.
Seeing this, the security guard tried to stop Chu Siran.
Chu Siran screamed, "Don't touch me! Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to bully me? I'm telling you, there's someone behind me! I'm not afraid of you!"
The security guards were frightened by Chu Siran's shouting. After a moment of silence, Chu Siran smiled cunningly, ducked down and slipped under the arms of the two security guards, and ran into the house at the speed of his feet.
Qin Chaotian's voice rang out behind everyone.
"Ms. Chu Siran is really youthful and lively."
Huo Juncheng and Chu Siran turned around and saw Qin Chaotian had just gotten out of the car with a faint smile on his face.
Chu Siran was holding back his anger, but when he saw Qin Chaotian, the "real boss," he immediately said angrily, "Qin Chaotian, are you feeling guilty because you locked my sister up in your house?"
Qin Chaotian frowned when he heard Chu Siran's words, and the smile on his face disappeared. He looked very confused, "Ms. Chu Siran, I don't know what you are talking about. How could I care about Chu Xi?"
"Then why did you let your security guard stop us from entering your house to take a closer look? You must be hiding something!"
Hearing Chu Siran's question, Qin Chaotian just spread his hands helplessly, "Siran, you should be more reasonable when you speak. I just came back and only realized it was you when I got to the door."
"The security guard just told me that someone was trying to break into my house. Is there anything wrong with me not letting them in? If I knew it was you and..." Qin Chaotian's gaze paused for a moment on the other people before continuing, "and these people, then of course I would have let the security guards in immediately."
"In that case, why don't you let us in and see if my sister is at your house. No matter how nice you say it now, if I find out that my sister is at your house later, I'll show you how I'll teach you a lesson!" Chu Siran relied on Huo Juncheng's support, and his words became much tougher.
"Of course, if I really do lock Chu Xi up, I, Qin Chaotian, will leave you to your own devices." Qin Chaotian said this with a solemn oath and walked to the door of his house and opened it. "Everyone, please come in."
Vivian coughed and said, "I won't go in. My agent just sent me a message saying there's a new work arrangement and she'll be here to pick me up soon."
Chu Siran nodded, and Vivian said goodbye to the group and left Qin Chaotian's residence first.
The people who stayed behind followed Qin Chaotian into the house.
The room was very clean and it looked like Qin Chaotian was the only one living in it.
"You can see for yourselves, Chu Xi is really not here with me." Qin Chaotian poured tea for them and sat back on the sofa leisurely.
Seeing Qin Chaotian being so frank, Chu Siran was a little unsure whether his suspicion was wrong.
After all, she only guessed that Chu Xi was with Qin Chaotian. But if Chu Xi was really with Qin Chaotian, would he be so generous as to let them in to investigate?
Because of Qin Chaotian's actions, Chu Siran became the one in the wrong and could not really search Qin Chaotian's house.
But Chu Siran still stood up and shouted a few times towards the room, "Chu Xi! Sister, I'm here! Are you there?"
"Sister, are you here? If you are, come out! Don't be afraid, I'm here to take you home!"
After calling out a few times, Qin Chaotian's room was completely silent, and there was no response from Chu Siran.
Although Chu Xi was in Qin Chaotian's house, she was being watched on the second floor. Not only were her hands and feet tied, but her mouth was also covered. Not only could she not make any sound, she couldn't even struggle.
Hearing Chu Siran's voice, Chu Xi tried like crazy to break free from Qin Chaotian's restraints, but it was of no avail. Chu Siran could not hear the sound she made at all.
A comfortable smile appeared on Qin Chaotian's face, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Ms. Siran, I was also worried about Chu Xi missing. If I had any news about her, I would definitely tell you the first time." Qin Chaotian stood up and said to Chu Siran sincerely.
Chu Siran didn't get a response from Chu Xi, so he could only give up and said dejectedly, "I hope so. Sorry to bother you today."
Huo Juncheng looked at Qin Chaotian's face and narrowed his eyes, but in the end he showed nothing. He took Lin Yilan's hand and left Qin Chaotian's house.
He could feel that Chu Xi's disappearance could not be unrelated to Qin Chaotian, but they could not get any information from Qin Chaotian, so they could only leave first and go back to think of other ways.
Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng were in a bad mood because they didn't get any news from Chu Xi. They didn't talk much on the way back.
Huo Juncheng was walking home holding Lin Yilan's hand. Lin Yilan suddenly stopped and grabbed Huo Juncheng.
"What's wrong?" Huo Juncheng frowned slightly.
Lin Yilan put her index finger in front of her mouth, signaling Huo Juncheng to keep quiet, and pulled him to hide behind a villa.
Behind the villa, in the sewer, there was a person squatting. It was late at night, and Huo Juncheng couldn't see who that person was, but he could see that it was a woman.
"It's Mrs. Jiang." Lin Yilan reminded Huo Juncheng in a low voice.
Just now, as she was walking on the road, she saw Mrs. Jiang hurriedly carrying a large black bag. She felt very strange and chased after her to take a look.
Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan hid behind the outer wall of the villa and saw Mrs. Jiang squatting on the ground and taking out several stacks of yellow paper money from her bag.
Burning paper money?
Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng looked at each other. Mrs. Jiang's expression just now was so strange, and her behavior was so secretive as if she was afraid of being discovered. Did she come here just to burn paper money?
Lin Yilan had a bold guess in her mind.
Mrs. Jiang squatted at the entrance of the sewer and burned paper money for a while, but she was muttering something while burning the paper money. However, her voice was very low and Lin Yilan could not hear anything clearly.
Although I couldn't hear clearly, I could vaguely tell from the tone of her voice that she seemed to be confessing something.
Mrs. Jiang was also an intellectual. Did she also believe in these supernatural things? Who was she burning these paper money for? Who was she speaking to?
Lin Yilan frowned, took out her cell phone and turned on the camera.
