Chapter 58
“You mean, there are people living in that courtyard?” Zhou Shengwu was taken aback. He frowned and exchanged an incredulous look with Zhou Meier who was next to him.
That courtyard has always been taboo in the Zhou house. The two of them have lived here for so many years, and they have never seen anyone go in, let alone come out.
The courtyard had been closed off for so long, that they eventually came to see it as merely an abandoned courtyard, their minds voluntarily conjuring for it a bit of superstitious background.
Wang Diefeng held her waist and sat on the soft couch. She got off lucky;the injury was not too severe and no bones were broken. She also sought medical treatment in time, which prevented their infiltration of the abandoned hospital from being exposed.
When Qi Bozhi remembered the sounds he heard that night, his heart felt itchy, and he asked impatiently, “Who lives there? Did you see the face? Does he look good?”
Wang Diefeng’s expression was dazed for a moment. As she recalled the face she saw that night, her throat moved involuntarily, and she said with a hint of unthinking obsession, “Yeah.”
Qi Bozhi, after seeing her expression, became even more interested, but Wang Diefeng clearly had no intention of paying him any mind, so Qi Bozhi turned his questioning eyes to the most obedient person in the room, Bai Jingtian.
Bai Jingtian hesitated for a moment, her eyes avoiding Qi Bozhi’s. She replied in a tepid tone, “I don’t know how to describe that person’s appearance, but,” Her eyes evaded.
“His appearance is really as graceful as a dragon. He looked just like the descriptions in books, as graceful as a swimming dragon.. Anyone who has seen him will definitely never forget him.”
Bai Jingtian was never good at lying. She always said what was in her mind truthfully and objectively.
A person who could make her say such things, that person must truly have the appearance of an immortal.
Zhou Shengwu and the lustful Qi Bozhi were in the same league. After hearing what she said, he became interested. He sat down on the chair, leaned towards Bai Jingtian, and asked impatiently, “Why do you say this?”
Bai Jingtian frowned, appearing somewhat hesitant, and reluctant to answer the question. Finally, she answered vaguely, “Go and see for yourself one day, and you’ll understand.”
Seeing her like this, the curiosity in Zhou Shenwu’s heart grew, as though he had been scratched by a cat’s paw, itching terribly.
Seeing that the two girls were acting indifferent, Qi Bozhi immediately targeted the only male here who had seen the person in the yard.
However, ever since that night, Wang Junhe had looked dazed and lost, as though he was alienated from everyone.
When Zhou Shengwu saw this, he immediately stopped asking. However, the expressions of the three people, along with Qi Bozhi next to him, who seemed to know something and was eager to move, aroused his curiosity completely.
Zhou Meier on the side was just like his brother. Both of them were very intrigued by the situation, and scratched their heads in curiosity.
But then again, why was Zhou Caihua the last one discovered?

Thinking of this, Zhou Meier’s heart tightened.

Several bones were also broken.
There was no doubt that he would be permanently disabled, and would probably have to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Whether he could still perform any bodily functions was a mystery.
Being a girl, she didn’t have the courage to go against the family rules, so she had no choice but to suppress the spark of curiosity that had arisen in her.
Contrary to what Zhou Meier was thinking, Zhou Shengwu was a little eager to give it a try.
In Zhou Zhai, apart from Mr. Zhou who was buried with his leg half broken, he was the second domineering person who could run rampant.
He had no feelings for this cold-blooded father of his. A sick man will not live for more than a few years. Sooner or later, Zhou Zhai will be his, and he would be its undisputed new master.
With this idea in mind, Zhou Shengwu’s desire to enter the abandoned house became more and more intense.
Zhou Shengwu hummed twice and looked at Qi Bozhi next to him.
What kind of person must he be that is so magnificent that he can captivate everyone present?
Tsk tsk.
He didn’t know how many people had been guests of the house, and his private life abroad was extremely chaotic. He and Qi Bozhi also played many tricks together, and they couldn’t be clearer of each other’s nature..
Qi Bozhi received Zhou Shengwu’s eyes and immediately understood what the other party meant and raised his eyebrows.
It was not easy to get things done when there are many people.
Zhou Shengwu curled his lips.
Zhou Caihua lay on the bed, applying medicine to his lower back, which was still bloody.
Aunt Chen was sitting next to her crying, her resentment towards Mr. Zhou getting deeper and deeper. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly, with a fierce look in her eyes.
Old hag.
She regarded her son as her support for the rest of her life. She harbored no ambition to inherit the Zhou family, but only hoped to get a piece of the pie to avoid leading a life abandoned by thousands and ridden by thousands. .
Although she had the title of aunt in this house, she was essentially a servant!
Didn’t she crawl into this bad old man’s bed precisely to covet his status and power so that she would no longer be scorned? But what was the result? Nothing has changed, her life in Zhou Zhai was even worse than before.
Now, Mrs. Zhou could easily knock her down with a single flick of her fingers, but she had still been exiled within the Zhou house for so many years.
Why? She didn’t understand before.
But now she took it seriously to the point of finding it ironic.
That bad old man was not very good in that department, and he often lost enthusiasm for no reason in the middle of doing it, but what man would want to admit that he could not perform well? So he took his temper out on women including her by torturing them in different ways in bed.
Thinking of this, the hatred in Aunt Chen’s eyes deepened.
It made her feel as if she was just a dog, and any dignity she had had was crushed into nothing.
Thinking of this, Aunt Chen looked at her son who had become obsessed since he was found to have entered the abandoned house that day, and she tightly grasped her sleeves.
For myself, for my son!
It was time for her to do something.
“Brother, do you want to go out and play?” Naiwa looked at Su Jingyan’s face, his eyes full of unconcealable obsession, seducing him with a bit of bewitchment.
But from beginning to end, Su Jingyan didn’t look at him. He sat quietly on the chair in the corridor in a daze, his expression a little confused.
The reason why he was so bored and sitting here in a daze was for no other reason than that Yichen seemed to be very busy recently and is often away from home. He was the only one left at home, so he naturally felt very bored.
Whenever that man was not at home, he was basically in an absent-minded and distracted state.
It can be said that only when Lu Yichen was around, Su Jingyan was alive and spiritual.
The expression of the baby who had been staring at him was nothing like that of a two- or three-year-old child. He carried a somewhat insouciant and strange feeling, and showed a cold smile from time to time.
But when he looked at Su Jingyan, his eyes were full of admiration and obsession.
He had been warned by the man not to appear here again, but he really couldn’t resist Su Jingyan’s temptation. Even at the risk of being torn into pieces by the man, he still wanted to get close to this beauty, and he entertained crazy thoughts. The idea of taking people away and hiding them.
Thinking of this, the expression on the baby’s face changed, with a hint of gloom and hatred.
But there is not much time for him now, and that terrible man may come back soon.
He tried to grab Su Jingyan’s hand directly, trying to take the person away by force.
But soon, he retrieved his hand, because that terrifying man had set up a barrier around Su Jingyan. Once he rashly touched Su Jingyan, the man would definitely come back as soon as possible.
The milk doll curled up the corners of his mouth, his eyes flickered slightly, and the expression in his eyes began to change continuously.
He continued to say in a coquettish voice, “Brother, aren’t you bored? You stay here in this small place every day, locked up here by that person, and your personal freedom is imprisoned. Don’t you want to get rid of him at all?”
The more he spoke, the more energetic he became. He spoke as if he was the one being imprisoned. His eyes were shining and his tone became more and more excited.
Finally, Su Jingyan, who had been turning a blind eye to him, moved his head, and cast his eyes on him.
The baby was overjoyed, thinking that he had accurately guessed Su Jingyan’s thoughts, and he became even more enthusiastic.”Think about it, how nice it is outside. There are all kinds of delicacies in the world, exotic things, and beautiful mountains and rivers. Don’t you want to see them all?”
Su Jingyan stared at him and continued to tilt his head, as if he was seriously pondering about what he said.
When the baby saw his reaction, he became even more excited, believing that he had struck a chord in Su Jingyan’s heartstrings that yearned for freedom.
Before he could say anything further, he felt as if something was expanding in his chest. His eyes shrank, showing the vertical pupils of a feline when it faced threat.
The baby realized something and swiftly turned around, intending to turn into a plume of black smoke and run away immediately.
But he was a step too late.
“Ha.” It was as if someone sneered mockingly out of thin air. A chill seemed to be beginning to condense in the air; it was so cold it could make people shiver.
The milk doll had barely transformed into black air when a force suddenly sucked him in, and he found himself grabbed into the palm of a figure that materialized out of thin air.
When Su Jingyan saw the man clearly, he was overjoyed. He immediately stood up and rushed forward, hooking his arms around the man’s neck. He said pitifully, his face aggrieved,, “Why did you come back only now?”
The man wrapped an arm around the waist of the person in his embrace. His other hand slowly tightened, as if he wanted to crush something, until it pulverized into ashes, disappearing completely.
The thing being crushed let out its last cry before disappearing. At the moment when it was about to let out a shrill scream, the man swiftly silenced its scream putting an end to it.
Lu Yichen’s eyes also flashed.
After all, he didn’t want these cries to scare the man in his arms.
It was really irritating.
As he pondered over what the ghost said just now, his eyes were enveloped by a shade of gloom. The hand holding the person in his arms slowly tightened, as if he wanted to merge the person into his own flesh and blood. Yet the man’s strength carried a hint of caution, as if he was afraid of hurting him.
Su Jingyan put his hand on the man’s shoulder. Seeing that the man didn’t answer him, he shook the man’s head vigorously, with a bit of anger and arrogance. “Answer me quickly!”
The man’s eyes met Su Jingyan’s, and his eyes changed obscurely, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
Finally, the two looked at each other for a long time, and the man asked hoarsely, “Yanyan, do you like me?”
Translator’s note!
Sorry for the long absence, the team has been busy lately dealing with life 😢. Here’s some chapters to make up for it! Hope you enjoy!
I still don’t know where that random ghost baby came from 😭
remember a couple chapters ago (when they were detailing the hidden crimes of the Zhou Zai) they implied that the main wife had gotten rid of someone who was pregnant for the Master years ago to consolidate her position in the family, I believe it’s that baby.
Hope all is well and that the team gets some relaxation time, especially since in is heading towards the end of the year!! Thank you for the chapter
