Chen Lu pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear'?"
Already nervous, Liang Zhirou's legs went weak upon hearing this. "Don't scare me..."
She has never done anything wrong. She obeys the law every day and even helps lost children find their mothers. Why would she encounter such a thing?
Even if there are unclean things, they shouldn't have come looking for her, right?
She quickly grasped Chen Lu's hand, saying anxiously, "Let's stay somewhere else tonight. If you've done something wrong, we'll burn some paper money, and then..."
At this moment, Liang Zhirou didn't care about shame anymore. Even if she had to sleep on the streets, she would feel more at ease than continuing to live here.
The lights in the hallway are all working, but the lights in the rooms are broken. It's really weird.
Chen Lu shook his head, thinking to himself, "How come this silly guy's imagination is getting stronger and stronger? What I want to tell you is that there are no ghosts in this world. The only ones who will take revenge on you are people."
After saying that, he took Liang Zhirou's hand and went inside, then took a deep breath after closing the door.
"Lin Miaomiao, stop hiding!"
There was no movement.
The house was still dimly lit, with only a few scattered lights shining in through the living room window.
Liang Zhirou looked at him with some confusion, her doubts suddenly overcoming her fear, and for a moment she couldn't care less about being scared.
Chen Lu smirked and continued shouting, "And Chen Mo! If you don't come out soon, I'm going to tell Mom about you skipping class for a whole week last year!"
The shouts subsided, and the surroundings returned to a deathly silence.
"Still pretending, huh! Listen carefully, I'm calling Mom right now."
As soon as Chen Lu finished speaking, a girl with long hair covering her face, dressed in pure red ancient costume, whose style was exactly the same as that of the Ouija board spirit, slowly walked over.
With each step she took, the hem of her skirt swayed at her feet, until she stood still in front of the two men.
Just as Liang Zhirou felt she was about to faint from fright, the girl suddenly swung her arm angrily, acting like a child throwing a tantrum.
"elder brother!"
"You're so boring! I've been preparing for this for so long!"
Liang Zhirou was shocked; the female ghost called Chen Lu "brother."
Could it be that she's been in a relationship with a ghost all along?
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you..." Chen Mo brushed aside his hair and walked up to Liang Zhirou, looking at her with a surprised expression.
At this moment, Liang Zhirou was already sitting on the ground, tightly hugging Chen Lu's calf.
Clearly, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"I'm sorry, I meant to scare my brother, but I accidentally hurt you."
Liang Zhirou trembled, her eyes still tightly shut. "You...you don't come any closer!"
"Haven't you recognized me yet? I'm Chen Mo." Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh.
"......"
"I am Chen Mo."
After Chen Mo repeated it again, Liang Zhirou tentatively opened her eyes.
"I...I didn't do anything to you..." she said, wiping her wet eyes and looking aggrieved.
Then, turning his head to look at his current posture and movements, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
It's easy to feel guilty for bullying Liang Zhirou.
Feeling very guilty, Chen Mo leaned closer to the weak Liang Zhirou, then stood up and asked Chen Lu, "Did you install surveillance cameras at home?"
"I'm guessing. Besides me and Liang Zhirou, only Mom has a key to this place. Unless it's really haunted, it must be something you and Lin Miaomiao did together. I just don't know how Lin Miaomiao got that bastard Jiang Chao to tell us anything."
People who have never done anything wrong are more likely to suspect that something supernatural has happened when they encounter strange events, while those who have committed many evils will only suspect that someone is retaliating against them.
At times like this, all they usually do is yell: Who's trying to harm me!
This is the experience that Master Chen has accumulated through his daily 'good deeds and virtues'. The things Lin Miaomiao is playing with are things that he and Chen Mo have been tired of playing with since they were children.
"Lin Miaomiao, your accomplices have all confessed, are you still going to hide?" Chen Lu said while stroking Liang Zhirou's hair.
Lin Miaomiao, dressed in a blood-stained white dress, finally came out and walked sideways through the group. "Your power seems to be broken. I'll go down to the basement and turn it back on for you..."
Liang Zhirou still didn't have the strength to stand up. She hugged Chen Lu's leg, looked up at the group of people, and felt complicated.
That's so embarrassing.
A few minutes later.
The group reunited in the living room.
Chen Mo ran to the bathroom to remove her makeup, leaving Lin Miaomiao alone on the sofa, where Chen Lu judged her with his eyes.
"You'll have to take Chen Mo back yourself later," Chen Lu said coldly. "How old are you to be doing this? So boring."
Can't you be a little more mature like him?
"Alright, alright, let her stay at my place tonight." Lin Miaomiao nodded respectfully, this was the most respectful she had ever shown to her boss, Chen Lu.
"Anyway, you weren't scared, so don't hold a grudge, okay?"
As Lin Miaomiao spoke, she pushed Liang Zhirou into Chen Lu's arms, "Why don't you spend your time flirting with your wife instead..."
"There are so many things about men and women that are worth discussing... right?"
Clearly, she had completely sold Liang Zhirou out.
"Your bonus?"
"No, no..." Lin Miaomiao quickly waved her hand, revealing her signature smile, "Take it and give it to Zhirou's clothes."
"When do you plan to use up the rest of your paid leave?" Chen Lu asked with a light laugh, holding Liang Zhirou's hand. "The company really cares about your rest schedule."
