Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 908: Chapter 908: Flirting with Ghosts (11)

The place where Dai’s residence is located is very vintage. Before the liberation, this area was home to the rich and wealthy. Of course, it’s still a tough place to secure a property now; even money can’t buy you one.

Living here symbolizes wealth and status.

Dai Congrong invited Chuzheng to enter.

The decor inside the villa also exudes a classical vibe.

”Sir has returned.”

An elderly person heard the commotion and came out wiping their hands.

Dai Congrong: ”Aunt He, prepare tea for the guest.”

”Ah, okay.”

Aunt He responded, her gaze quickly sweeping over Chuzheng before hastily moving away to prepare the tea.

”That’s our family’s servant, Aunt He.” Dai Congrong introduced to Chuzheng: ”Miss Xiao, please sit here.”

Chuzheng sat down in the living room.

She’s not a Heavenly Master; she can only see ghosts when they appear, and can’t perceive whether there’s any yin energy in this room.

So, she didn’t speak carelessly.

Maintaining a demeanor of expertise, she waited for Dai Congrong to speak.

Dai Congrong introduced the situation of the villa to Chuzheng.

Currently living in the villa, apart from the servant Aunt He, are two other servants.

Also, there is Dai Congrong’s wife, but she has moved back to her parents’ home with their child out of fear.

Dai Congrong’s brother is now lying in bed.

Finally, there’s his grandfather.

The grandfather is still vigorous and has very robust health.

”Miss Xiao, as long as you can solve this issue, money is not a problem.”

”...”

This isn’t about the money!

Chuzheng glanced upstairs: ”Let’s go upstairs and take a look.”

Dai Congrong took Chuzheng upstairs.

”This is my bedroom.”

Chuzheng took a look inside; this room is quite modern.

After looking through several rooms, Chuzheng didn’t see any ghosts.

”This is my brother’s room.” Dai Congrong knocked on the door.

There was a loud noise inside, followed by an angry shout of ’Get out.’

Dai Congrong didn’t get out; instead, he pushed open the room and brought Chuzheng inside.

”Get out! Can’t you understand?”

A frail man on the sickbed roared in fury.

And this room is filled with remnants of superstitious objects.

Things like yellow talismans, Bagua mirrors, and Peach Wood Swords...

Dai Congrong walked over with a dark expression to speak to him, and the two brothers soon started arguing.

Chuzheng exited the room, Shi Yin leaned against the hallway outside, with blood everywhere, she stood in the midst of it, whistling playfully at her.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Searing to the eyes.

”Ah!!!”

A sudden scream came from inside.

”Ghost!! There’s a ghost!!” Dai Congrong’s brother’s terrified voice was heard: ”The ghost is here!!”

Chuzheng looked at the blood flowing to the entrance...

Dai Congrong’s brother must have seen something from inside.

A person who has been harmed by a ghost has a much higher chance of seeing these things.

”Miss Xiao.” Dai Congrong called her.

Chuzheng went inside.

”A ghost, a ghost...”

Dai Congrong’s brother huddled up on the bed, looking extremely shocked.

”Miss Xiao, do you have any discoveries?”

”No, he’s just having a stress response, no need to be nervous.” Chuzheng just made something up.

If there was a ghost just now, Shi Yin probably ran away already.

-

Dai Congrong comforted his brother and exited the room.

It’s not the first time he has caused such a commotion, so Dai Congrong wasn’t suspicious.

Having looked through the whole villa, Chuzheng didn’t find any traces of ghosts.

”Miss Xiao, you’ve seen everything, have you discovered anything?”

Back in the living room, Aunt He brought the tea, and Dai Congrong got straight to the point.

Chuzheng: ”...”

I’m really just an ordinary person!

What can I possibly discern!!

Aren’t you just tormenting poor little me!

Where is the Good Person Card!!

Meanwhile, Shi Yin sat on the railing of the stairway, slid down swiftly, then floated up, and slid down again.

When Shi Yin saw Chuzheng looking at her, she flashed a V sign and grinned sweetly.

Chuzheng: ”...”

You’re supposed to be a ghost!

Are ghosts nowadays so unprofessional?!

Chuzheng’s gaze roved around the living room: ”Does Mr. Dai say that his family avoids superstitions?”

”Yes, my grandfather said that all of these things are all lies.” Dai Congrong replied: ”I didn’t believe it before either, but after my brother’s incident, now the whole family’s like this, what can I do if I don’t believe it?”

The scientific methods can’t solve it.

Then I can only use unscientific methods.

”I see that your family’s furnishing doesn’t seem like you don’t believe in these things.” The entire living room’s setup can reveal some patterns.

How does this look like a family that believes in scientific materialism?

Dai Congrong looked around the living room: ”I’m not really sure, but the previous few people did say the same as Miss Xiao. It was like this when I was little, and over the years, it’s just the decorations that have changed, the other items haven’t been replaced.”

Dai Congrong actually wanted to change them.

He is young after all, and doesn’t like this kind of decoration.

But this house has been occupied by several generations of the Dai family, and the old man is sentimental, refusing to change these things.

As they were talking, Aunt He’s voice sounded: ”Mrs. Dai is back.”

”Congrong, are you here?”

”Sir is here.”

A woman with delicate makeup entered from outside, her form-fitting, waist-hugging pencil skirt perfectly outlining her curves.

This is Dai Congrong’s wife.

There’s another person following behind her.

Chuzheng’s heart ached.

Shang Jing.

It’s her again!!

It’s her again!!!

Shang Jing was invited by Dai Congrong’s wife.

Mrs. Dai said something to Dai Congrong, and his gaze towards Shang Jing immediately became much more respectful.

He didn’t treat Chuzheng like that just now.

Although his attitude was polite, it was somewhat perfunctory.

Probably eluding a friend’s favor, he brought Chuzheng home to look around, but he wasn’t particularly convinced.

Now looking at Shang Jing, it’s like seeing a master’s gaze.

”What are you doing here?” Shang Jing saw Chuzheng and asked with furrowed brows, her eyes filled with a bit of surprise.

Mrs. Dai asked: ”Does the master know her?”

Shang Jing maintained the demeanor of a master: ”She’s my roommate.”

Dai Congrong and Mrs. Dai exchanged glances.

A master’s roommate must also be a master?

Dai Congrong thought about it; he hadn’t offended Chuzheng earlier, so he calmed down.

”This Xiao master was introduced by my friend.” Dai Congrong even changed the way he addressed her: ”I didn’t expect her to be the master’s roommate too, quite a coincidence.”

Master?

Her?

Shang Jing’s lips twitched but didn’t expose her.

Dai Congrong made a gesture of invitation: ”Master, please sit, let’s talk.”

Shang Jing glanced at Chuzheng, then sat down opposite her.

Dai Congrong and Mrs. Dai had to sit beside her.

While the three were conversing, Chuzheng remained silent, with a somewhat indifferent expression.

Dai Congrong could tell that this Shang Jing was much more proficient than Chuzheng; at least she spoke with eloquence, using professional terms one after another, unlike Chuzheng.

Shi Yin slipped away when Shang Jing appeared.

”I have already heard from Mrs. Dai about the situation.” Shang Jing said: ”May I take a look?”

Dai Congrong immediately nodded: ”Of course, of course.”

Shang Jing invited Chuzheng: ”Chuzheng, together?”

”No.” Chuzheng refused: ”I’ve already looked.”

Shang Jing raised her brow: ”Oh, then what have you observed?”

Chuzheng: ”Why should I tell you?”

Shang Jing: ”...”
