Chi Jiao had a natural aura around her that made people listen to her. Just like that, the three of them agreed with her without hesitation and quickly got busy.
Meanwhile, at the Chi residence.
Due to what had happened, Chi Mingwei didn’t want to go to the office today. He also didn’t want to have too many people at home, so he asked all the servants to go home and rest.
Shen Xing was playing in the hall while Chi Mingwei worked in the study alone. After working for more than half an hour, he couldn’t help thinking of Chi Jiao.
Worried that she would encounter some danger, Chi Mingwei took out his phone. He wanted to call Chi Jiao and ask about her situation.
However, at the thought of how busy his daughter was and how he didn’t want to delay her work, Chi Mingwei put down his phone after some hesitation. He picked up his half-drunk cup of coffee, which was already cold by now, and stood up to walk to the window. He planned to take a look at the scenery and relax.
The moment Chi Mingwei walked to the window, his gaze was attracted by a woman standing on the grass outside.
It was a woman in a black dress. Her body seemed to be drenched in cement. Not only was there a strange grayish-white color, but there were also patches of livor mortis. Seeming to sense Chi Mingwei’s gaze, she moved her stiff neck.
Chi Mingwei was stunned.
He knew that dress.
Fang Xiaowei was wearing this dress under her black down jacket yesterday.
He subconsciously took a sip of coffee and raised his hand to rub his chest to comfort himself. “Looks like I should really listen to Jiaojiao and have a good rest. I’m so tired that I am hallucinating so early in the morning. What should I do now?”
He kept telling himself that everything he saw was just a hallucination. Chi Mingwei gave a couple of dry laughs.
That’s right. Fang Xiaowei was already dead and her corpse was still in the police station. How could she be here? He must have seen it wrongly!
As he thought about it, Chi Mingwei looked out of the window again as if he wanted to prove his thoughts.
He jumped in shock. Chi Mingwei realized in horror that not only was Fang Xiaowei still there, but she had also moved closer to the window. He was so frightened that he spat all the coffee in his mouth onto the window.
“Pfft!” Chi Mingwei was on the second floor and Fang Xiaowei was on the first floor. At this moment, she was standing under the wall and stretching out her stiff hand, as if she wanted to touch his feet.
Chi Mingwei looked down at her. She had also lifted her head to him, and a strange light appeared in her turbid eyes. Her voice was hoarse like broken bellows. “Chi… Ming… Wei…”
Fang Xiaowei was like a malicious ghost that was after his life. The corners of her lips curled up into a hideous smile, the muscles on her face twisting into a terrifying mess.
A normal person would have screamed in fright at the sight of this.
But Chi Mingwei did not. With a cold expression, he closed the window with a bang and drew the curtains.
Completely adhering to the principle of you couldn’t be afraid of what you couldn’t see, Chi Mingwei walked away still holding his coffee cup. “I’m old and I keep hallucinating.. When Jiaojiao comes back, I will ask her to bring me to the hospital for a check-up. Seeing dead people in broad daylight? Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
