Chapter 789 - 787: The Bullet Screen Scam 9

"Shao Yifan!" Ah Chen returned to the villa, walking towards the direction of the villa where the housekeeper and servants lived.

Just because she heard Shao Yifan’s voice earlier, she and Shen Muzhi decided to come back and take a look at the situation.

Actually, it was so loud that the people living over there should have heard it.

Just as expected, when they arrived, everyone who heard the commotion in the villa ran out, and naturally, the housekeeper also came out.

All eyes were searching, and soon they saw Shao Yifan squatting on the ground, holding his head and trembling, mumbling about ghosts.

"Xiao Fan." When housekeeper Shao Baocheng recognized it was Shao Yifan, his face didn’t look good. Regardless of anything else, he rushed over to Shao Yifan and helped him up.

"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, what’s wrong with you?"

Shao Yifan, feeling the warm lights all around him and hearing his father’s familiar voice, finally came back to his senses. He cautiously looked up, seeing indeed it was Shao Baocheng and others who heard the commotion, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

He held onto Shao Baocheng tightly, his face pale as a sheet.

Even though Shao Yifan had a lot on his mind, facing the situation he was trapped on the road earlier, he was still scared out of his wits.

It was too real.

He didn’t think this situation was caused by his mental stress; everything he saw earlier was real.

This place is haunted!

He thought of Qiao Haisheng and He Sihua, who died in an accident, and later Old Sir Qiao, who died of illness, his face grew even paler.

Could what happened to him tonight have been caused by them?

Had they noticed their family wanted to covet the Qiao Family’s inheritance, causing some disturbance to scare Qiao Chen, so the Qiao Family was angry?

"Dad, there are ghosts!" Shao Yifan originally wanted to say something else but suddenly remembered many people were around and quickly swallowed his words, "Just now, I walked for a long time, and I didn’t even get here. Really, I encountered a ghost hitting the wall."

"And earlier in the bathroom, the faucet was flowing completely with blood, staining one of my hands. Truly, it’s definitely not some kind of delusion."

Shao Baocheng sensed his son’s fear, which didn’t seem like it was feigned at all.

Originally, there were other plans for tonight, but for some reason, Qiao Chen never came to seek help next door and instead called Shen Muzhi. Despite that, he still had his son go over and take a look.

He had seen from the surveillance the commotion at Qiao Chen’s villa next door.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn’t believe in ghosts at all and thought the knocking was someone playing tricks, even planning to have professionals come over for a thorough inspection the next day. Shen Muzhi, who was quite the busybody, even suggested having someone watch over them.

Originally thinking it would end there, he was ready to go to sleep when Shao Yifan’s scream woke him up, and coming out, he saw the other party squatting on the ground, holding his head.

He knew his son well enough to know he wouldn’t make jokes about things like this.

He immediately thought of the Qiao couple who died in an accident and then Old Sir Qiao, who died of illness. But if there really are ghosts, how could those who committed all sorts of evil still be living so well?

Moreover, he hadn’t done anything against Qiao Chen, just wanted to matchmake her with Xiao Fan.

Now the Qiao Family only has Qiao Chen left, and certainly, many share the same thought.

If it weren’t for Old Sir Qiao’s arrangements, just the He Family alone would have troubled Qiao Chen. But the situation now is that even if they killed Qiao Chen, they wouldn’t be able to get the inheritance, so they’d have to hold her up.

The Shen Family and the Qiao Family are truly aristocratic families. Whether Old Sir Qiao left any instructions before his passing, he, as a housekeeper, really doesn’t know. The Shen Family is an obstacle, but he can’t deal with the Shen Family.

If he had such skills, would he still need his own son to capture Qiao Chen’s heart?

"I think we should check with a psychiatrist in the morning. Shao Yifan’s mental state is indeed not very good," Shen Muzhi spoke up.

It was only then that Shao Baocheng realized Ah Chen and Shen Muzhi had actually come back.

"Brother Muzhi has a point," Ah Chen responded, "Uncle Shao, Shao Yifan did say earlier he saw lots of blood in the bathroom, but at the time, Brother Muzhi was right there and didn’t notice anything unusual. Maybe Shao Yifan has been under too much stress lately."

"Isn’t there surveillance here? Pull it out and see what happened earlier," Ah Chen added.

[Is it really a mental issue, or is there something dirty here? It’s kind of funny, the housekeeper intended to mess with me, but in the end, Shao Yifan had a problem. Is this karma?]

Hearing the inner voice, Shen Muzhi curved his lips. Each time he heard it, he was certain it was not an auditory hallucination, otherwise, how could it be so targeted?

Indeed, this matter was a bit interesting.

He also wanted to know if Shao Yifan had a mental issue or if there was something unclean in this place.

"Let’s see a psychiatrist tomorrow first. If there’s nothing wrong, it might be worth finding a master to take a look," Shen Muzhi suggested, "Although I don’t believe in these things, just in case."

Shao Yifan, still with a pale face, took a deep breath and clutched Shao Baocheng’s sleeve: "Dad, let’s check the surveillance."

He also wanted to know what had happened earlier.

The surveillance was quickly pulled up, and when Shao Yifan appeared in the villa’s courtyard, he suddenly stopped moving, standing there with his head buried in thought. After a few minutes, he suddenly jerked his head up, seemingly seeing something that terrified him, and screamed.

Immediately afterward, the lights in the villa turned on, and the housekeeper and others came out.

Clearly, from the surveillance, apart from Shao Yifan, there was no issue.

Seeing this scene, everyone was momentarily unsure whether to call it ghost hitting the wall or if Shao Yifan himself had mental issues; both were possible.

It’s said many mental illnesses do indeed experience auditory and visual hallucinations, seeing objects as something else entirely.

"Sorry for disturbing you," Shao Baocheng patted Shao Yifan’s shoulder, letting him go inside first, "Tomorrow, I’ll take Xiao Fan to the hospital to see what’s going on."

Shao Baocheng was also quite unsettled inside; after all, it wasn’t good. Now that his son was experiencing issues, he had lost any thought of scheming for the moment.

"Tonight, I’m going to Brother Muzhi’s house. There were strange knocking sounds outside earlier. I’m unsure what it was," Ah Chen said, "I’ve already asked someone to watch out for it. Tomorrow, we’ll have professionals come over to inspect. Hopefully, it’s human-made; otherwise, if it’s not, this place won’t be livable."

[Wonder if evidence can be found proving the housekeeper is playing tricks. It’s better to find an excuse to dismiss such a person. Best if evidence can be gathered to get him sent to the police station and detained for a while.]

Of course, Shao Baocheng couldn’t say anything. Qiao Chen was the one who could make decisions in the Qiao Family; whatever she said, goes.

As for whether anything would be found in the house, he wasn’t concerned, as the Qiao Family had plenty of servants, and even if something were found, it couldn’t be proven he did it.

[The housekeeper doesn’t seem worried at all. Does he think there’s no evidence to be found?]
