Velvet Chains of a Tycoon

Ghosts were approaching!

After a three-second pause, this was Qin Ran's first reaction.

Shit! She had always believed that there were no such things as ghosts in this world. Never did she expect to encounter one tonight!

What a living witness to a ghost!

However, since she wasn't afraid of people, how could she be afraid of ghosts?

The whole house was pitch-black. She saw the white figure walking towards the stairs.

In movies and TV series, it is said that ghosts float without their feet touching the ground, thus moving silently.

She thought those scriptwriters must have never seen a real ghost. They were just fabricating nonsense.

This ghost was clearly not floating at all. On the contrary, it walked step by step, and the footsteps were very clear.

Worried that the ghost might harm Lu Sheng, she hurriedly ran upstairs. But as soon as she reached the second floor, she saw another white figure floating in through the window.

Thanks to the moonlight on this night, she could see the color of the ghost's figure. The moonlight filtered through the window, providing a faint light for this power-out house.

If ghosts were coming, why not just come one at a time? Why two at once?

Qin Ran burst into laughter mixed with annoyance. Seeing the ghost rushing towards her quickly, without any hesitation, she kicked it in the head.

"Ahhhh—" The ghost let out a shrill scream.

Qin Ran was stunned for a moment before realizing, "So, ghosts can also feel pain?"

As soon as she said this, the ghost that had entered from the hall was already on the second floor, holding a long white cloth strip and swinging it towards her head.

Qin Ran grabbed the white cloth strip and pulled it hard. The ghost was directly pulled down to the ground. She took two steps forward and stepped on the ghost's chest with her foot.

Right on the ghost's chest, the ghost let out an "Ah" of pain.

It was this sound of pain that suddenly four more ghosts flipped in through the second-floor window. And these ghosts rushed towards Qin Ran quickly.

Qin Ran had been to haunted houses with her classmates before. These ghosts' costumes looked exactly like those of the ghosts in the haunted houses. She even began to suspect whether these were the ghosts from the haunted houses.

However, after reconsidering, she thought it was probably not the case.

Because the ghosts in haunted houses were actors dressed up, and those ghosts probably didn't have the ability to climb over windows and walls.

But, regardless of where these ghosts came from, even if they were from the netherworld, she was not afraid of them!

Six ghosts surrounded her. In the dim light, she couldn't tell what kind of ghosts they were.

But it didn't matter. Whatever kind of ghosts they were, tonight they would all become her victims under the needle!

One person fighting with six ghosts, and the leisure hall on the second floor was somewhat cramped. Moreover, she had no time or energy to tangle with these ghosts.

Therefore, she took out silver needles from her bag.

Whenever a ghost approached, she used a needle to prick the other party's anesthesia acupoint.

Soon, these ghosts were all knocked down by her.

Looking at the ghosts lying on the ground, she let out a long sigh and then ran up to the third floor, picked up her mobile phone and dialed 110.

"Hello, is that 110? There are ghosts haunting Villa 4 in Dongjiang. Please send the police to catch the ghosts as soon as possible."

The operator of 110 was amused by her words: "Miss, please don't make such joking calls to 110. We have serious matters to deal with."

"What I said is a serious matter. There are really ghosts haunting this house!"

The operator was quite speechless about her words: "Miss, you seem to have some mental issues. Please call 120 and consult a psychiatrist. Or shall I transfer you to 120?"

Qin Ran held her mobile phone and walked downstairs, looking at those ghosts who had woken up and were running towards the window to jump out.

"Well, forget it. I'd better call a ghostbuster…"

After hanging up the phone, she came to the second floor and saw one still struggling on the ground. She walked over and kicked him.

"Still not leaving? Waiting for the ghostbuster to collect your soul?"

That ghost scrambled towards the window. Because it was too dark, he stumbled twice in the middle. When he jumped out of the window, "Ahh—" a painful scream came from outside the window.

Qin Ran didn't know where that ghost had fallen, but she didn't have the mood to care.

She looked at the broken glass window and shook her head helplessly. It seemed that those ghosts only had the ability to break windows.

With the ghosts driven away, she turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone, quickly went to the first floor, and went to the circuit breaker in the yard. She lifted the main switch.

The lights in the house lit up again, and Lu Sheng was sleeping soundly on the sofa in the living room.

Qin Ran looked at the man sleeping deeply and shook her head.

Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng, you moved here to see ghosts, but when the ghosts really came, you fell asleep.

What luck! You and ghosts are just not destined to meet!

Lu Sheng slept on the sofa all night.

The first ray of sunlight shone in through the glass window. He instinctively raised his hand to cover his eyes.

He sat up, turned over, and uncovered the quilt on his body. Only then did he realize that he was actually sleeping on the sofa.

And he was still wearing the clothes he wore during the day yesterday, except that his belt had been taken off.

What was going on?

Why was he sleeping on the sofa?

What happened last night?

Qin Ran brought breakfast from the kitchen and saw Lu Sheng who had woken up.

"Mr. Lu, are you awake?"

Lu Sheng's face was gloomy: "Who took my belt?"

Qin Ran put the breakfast on the table: "Mr. Lu, as for the belt, except for yourself, I think no one else would be willing to take it off for you."

"Then why was I sleeping in the living room last night?"

"Because you were drunk?"

Qin Ran said indifferently: "I asked you to go upstairs, but you were too drunk to walk. You were so heavy that I couldn't support you. I could only go upstairs to get a quilt for you."

Lu Sheng turned his head and looked at the broken floor-to-ceiling window, then was shocked: ".. How did the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window break?"

Qin Ran smiled: "You don't know this. Last night we saw ghosts."

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment: "Did ghosts appear last night?"

Qin Ran: "Yes, five or six ghosts appeared all of a sudden. Not only was the floor-to-ceiling window in the first-floor hall broken by ghosts, but also the windows on the second floor were broken."

"Then why didn't you call me?!"

Lu Sheng was angry immediately: "So many ghosts came at once. Could you handle them alone?"

Qin Ran: ".. But, the ghosts have gone."

Lu Sheng was stunned on the spot. After a few seconds, he came back to his senses: "Then how did you drive the ghosts away?"

"With a Bagua mirror."

Qin Ran talked nonsense seriously: "Have you forgotten? When we first came to look at the house, the intermediary asked us to buy a Bagua mirror."

"But you didn't buy one." Lu Sheng pointed out incisively.

Qin Ran shrugged: "I didn't buy one, but the intermediary was kind-hearted and left his Bagua mirror in this villa. Last night I used the Bagua mirror to drive away the ghosts."

Lu Sheng was still very angry: "Then why didn't you call me?!"

Qin Ran looked helpless: "I called you, but you were sleeping so soundly that I couldn't wake you up."

Lu Sheng: «..» Was he so drunk last night?

Moreover, did he really sleep so soundly when he was drunk?

Even six ghosts entering the house couldn't wake him up?

Qin Ran beckoned to him: "Mr. Lu, come and have breakfast quickly. If you don't hurry up, you will probably be late for work."

"I'll take a bath and change clothes first."

Lu Sheng said unhappily: "Next time, if there are ghosts coming, you must wake me up no matter what."

Qin Ran pursed her lips: «.. Okay!»
