Chapter 240 Confined Space
Yang Family Villa.
There seemed to be a party going on there; a group of well-dressed young men and women were eating snacks and holding glasses of wine, while the outdoor swimming pool...
The pool was also very lively, with several beautiful women playing in the water and others sitting on chairs enjoying fine wine.
Today is Yang Hui's birthday, so this party is being held. Yang Hui, dressed in a gorgeous evening gown, looks stunning today. Beside her is a man, her husband Sheng Huashi, who is also the boss of Huashi Culture Group.
They greeted the guests with cheerful smiles. Before long, Yang Hui was called over by several of her sisters, while Sheng Huashi chatted with a few male guests.
Just then, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept through the pool, blowing the blankets off several beautiful women and handsome men lying on the chairs. The wind was incredibly cold, and they immediately felt their pores stand on end.
"No way, is there a cold front coming today?" A woman pulled the blanket over herself while checking the weather forecast on her phone. "Uh, it's going to get colder tomorrow. Looks like we'll be affected by the cold front tonight. Sigh, I'm going to wash up and change."
The woman next to me said, "No way, I wanted to swim two more times."
"Whatever, I'm going to take a shower." The woman with tanned skin and a fit figure picked up a towel and a cup and headed inside, only to bump into Yang Hui, who was wearing a white evening dress.
The red wine was all spilled on Yang Hui's face.
Both of them were somewhat stunned. Yang Hui was about to explode in anger, "Are you blind—"
But before he could finish speaking, upon seeing the other person's face, he immediately put on a smiling face, "It's Miss Zhao Shiyue, it's alright, it's alright. Did I bump into you?"
Zhao Shiyue was even more confused because she didn't remember holding the glass of wine. Moreover, she was going to take a shower, so why would she have the glass of wine? Strangely, the red wine spilled all over Yang Hui.
The white evening gown, stained with red wine, was particularly noticeable.
"I'm so sorry, Ms. Yang, I—I was really too careless." Zhao Shiyue looked at her apologetically.
If it were anyone else, Yang Hui might have slapped her long ago, but she was Zhao Shiyue, the daughter of City Lord Zhao. How could she dare to act recklessly? Besides, Zhao Shiyue wasn't the kind of person who was unreasonable and domineering.
"Oh, it was my fault. I was walking carelessly and bumped into you. I'll just go change my clothes. You can keep playing." After saying that, Yang Hui hurriedly went to change her clothes.
Zhao Shiyue also realized that she had been impulsive today, but she didn't think much of it and went downstairs to the bathroom.
Yang Hui went to her room, found a dark green dress in the closet, and was about to change when she discovered that the pendant and necklace around her neck were stained with alcohol and smelled strongly of it.
She frowned. She couldn't stand wearing dirty clothes and accessories. No one could tolerate that.
She looked at the pendant, the Blood Moon Pendant, which was extremely precious and had been passed down from her ancestors; it was the only one of its kind.
It is said to be refined from the pure Yang blood of an infant, and the jade is also of the finest mutton fat white jade, extremely pure and Yang, very powerful in warding off evil and misfortune. She had relied on it to avoid many dangers, so she cherished it as much as her life, so she would not usually take it off.
However, she couldn't tolerate even the slightest stain on the Blood Moon Necklace. If Zhao Shiyue weren't the daughter of City Lord Zhao, she would have slapped her without hesitation.
She took off the necklace, put it under the tap to get it wet, and then lathered it with detergent to clean it properly. Just then, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Just as she was about to quickly rinse the necklace and put it on, a cat suddenly darted out from somewhere, snatched the necklace, and made Yang Hui so angry that she rushed over, wanting to stomp it to death.
But just as she stepped halfway out, the cat darted off the windowsill and vanished in a flash. Yang Hui watched helplessly as the cat jumped down and disappeared. Furious, she tried to rush down, but found she couldn't open the door.
She pounded and shouted loudly, but no one responded. She quickly looked for her phone, only to find it was missing. After searching for a while, she discovered that her phone was in the toilet!
How is that possible!
That's when she realized something was wrong; none of this was normal!
Yang Hui felt a chill in her heart, but she forced herself to remain calm and immediately made a decision: to climb out of the window. She couldn't care less about anything else now; she had to jump, no matter what. It was the second floor, so there was still a chance of survival if she jumped; if she didn't, she might lose her life.
So she climbed onto the windowsill, closed her eyes, and jumped.
The wind whistled past her ears, and she screamed. Then, she fell to the ground. When she opened her eyes, she was blind. How am I still in the room? This shouldn't be happening.
Was I hallucinating just now?
No, no, I have to escape from this room.
Thinking of this, Yang Hui gritted her teeth, climbed onto the windowsill again, closed her eyes, and jumped off. However, when she opened her eyes, she found herself still in the room, and she nearly collapsed.
So she tried a few more times, but to no avail. Her devastated heart gradually calmed down. She was originally a strong woman, so she was able to adjust her mindset quickly.
Something's not right. It's too quiet. There were many guests downstairs. When she first entered the room, she could hear the guests chatting and laughing downstairs, but now she couldn't hear anything. She looked down carefully but couldn't see anyone.
Yang Hui frowned deeply. She felt as if she were imprisoned in this space, unable to see the outside, unable to get out, and the people outside couldn't see anything unusual about this place, nor could they get in.
What should we do now?
The blood moon was snatched away by that damned cat again.
As she was deep in thought, she turned around and saw a sinister-looking man sitting on her bed, giving her a strange laugh.
She took a step back, saying in terror, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Get out of here right now, or I'll call for help!"
"Go ahead and yell, yell all you want. We'll talk slowly after you've yelled enough."
Yang Hui shouted a few times, but quickly stopped because she knew that even if she shouted until her throat was hoarse, it would be useless; no one would hear her.
Xiao Yu sneered, "What's wrong? Not calling me anymore? When old acquaintances meet, shouldn't you make me a cup of tea or coffee?"
"An old acquaintance?" Yang Hui frowned as she looked at him. She knew that the one in front of her was definitely a ghost, not a human, but she could still vaguely make out his outline. He looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.
