In Chi Jiao’s opinion, it was a rather campy horror story.
But why would the mysterious man search for Mount Peng Haunted House?
Chi Jiao felt that she couldn’t overlook any clues, so she took out her phone and did her own online research for Mount Peng Haunted House.
The top internet search result was a promotional advertisement for an entertainment program.
[Mount Peng Haunted House. Come and explore. A grand prize is up for grabs. One of the most thrilling experiences in your lifetime.]
Chi Jiao clicked on the advertisement and quickly browsed through it.
It turned out that this was a live-stream platform called Salted Fish. It was a live-stream entertainment program that only allowed people who never had live-streaming experience before to participate. This was to create a more realistic live-streaming effect.
The show would select five contestants to spend the night at Mount Peng Haunted House and do a live broadcast of their experience. Those who could last until the end would receive a grand prize.
If all five contestants persevered to the end, they would split the 10 million yuan evenly among the five of them. Each contestant would receive two million yuan.
Chi Jiao scrolled to the bottom and saw a story about the Mount Peng Haunted House. There were also a few old photos.
They were all photos of the haunted house. The once luxurious house had become dilapidated and desolate. It looked especially suitable as a venue for a horror movie.
One of the photos caught Chi Jiao’s attention.
The picture showed a woman in a cheongsam sitting expressionlessly in front of the dilapidated haunted house. Her feet were covered in moss, and beside her were some crumbling rocks.
She could feel the cold resentment in the woman’s eyes even through the phone screen.
Chi Jiao had seen this woman before.
It was the woman from the photo she had found in the notebook. Even their moles were identical.
Chi Jiao made her decision almost instantly.
She was going to the Mount Peng Haunted House.
This haunted house must be linked to the mysterious person.
However, the mysterious person was hiding in the dark while she was open in the light.
In order not to alert the enemy, she couldn’t go to the Mount Peng Haunted House openly.
Her eyes darted around as she pondered this situation. She then smirked.
She had thought of a good opportunity.
…
Monday morning.
Chi Mingwei dragged his exhausted body into the house. When he heard Chi Jiao’s laughter coming from the dining room, a smile appeared on his face. He suddenly felt much less tired and quickened his pace towards the dining room.
When he arrived there, Chi Mingwei saw Chi Jiao with a piece of bread in her mouth, leaning towards Quan Jue’s face.
Quan Jue bit the other end of the bread. The two of them were about to kiss.
Opposite them sat a child he had never seen before. The kid was engrossed in eating a fried egg.
This scene inexplicably reminded Chi Mingwei of the future when Chi Jiao and Quan Jue would be married and have children. They would be a family of three, sitting together and eating breakfast.
Chi Mingwei hurriedly shook his head to dispel the “crazy” scene in his mind and said quietly, “Jiaojiao.”
Caught off guard by his rather resentful tone, Chi Jiao gave a slight start, and the bread in her mouth fell to the ground.
She turned around and saw her father standing at the entrance of the dining room, staring straight at her and Quan Jue.
She had no idea how long Chi Mingwei had been standing there watching everything. Chi Jiao’s little face flushed red.
She was just playing with Quan Jue and did not notice that someone had come in.
Quan Jue also glanced at Chi Mingwei, but with little change to his expression..
